Chapter 1060 Red Card
Everyone felt that Gao Xiaodong's clearance was too risky and was simply a gamble. However, the ball did not fly into the goal, but hit the outer edge of the goalpost and flew out of the baseline.
Everyone exclaimed again. Barcelona fans felt that they were so unlucky that there was no own goal. Although Manchester United people felt that they were lucky, it was too dangerous and might fly into the goal next time.
Only Gao Xiaodong was confident. After the ball flew out of the baseline, he immediately got up and directed his teammates to defend. He didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with his previous clearance.
In fact, Gao Xiaodong did not realize that his rescue was risky at all. He had spent a special point to buy lucky points. Good luck would only be with him, and the superstar system would never let him make an own goal. of.
Corner kicks are of little significance to Barcelona, because the only thing they can grab for the high point is Pique, and Pique's header ability is in Manchester United.
It was almost impossible to let Pique dominate the air with Ferdinand and Vidic k8vuqhr.
Harvey was very aware of this. He did not take a direct corner kick, but played a tactical cooperation with Messi, trying to disrupt Manchester United's defensive formation and then pass the ball.
How can Manchester United be just a slacker? They are very clear about their advantages and have already sent Gao Xiaodong to follow Messi to prevent Barcelona from taking tactical corner kicks.
Messi and Gao Xiaodong are the protagonists of this finale. Since they are both main attackers, they had not had many opportunities to contact each other before. Now that the two are facing each other, Messi decided to teach Gao Xiaodong a lesson.
The ball was passed to Messi's feet, and Messi stopped the ball towards the center, making a gesture to cross, tempting Gao Xiaodong to move laterally towards the center.
Messi's intention is obvious, which is to mobilize Gao Xiaodong and use his flexibility to break through Gao Xiaodong's defense, thereby damaging Manchester United's morale.
Messi's plan is not bad, because Gao Xiaodong is taller and stronger than Messi, so Messi cannot let Gao Xiaodong get close to him and must move to fight.
As expected, Gao Xiaodong moved sideways and followed him.
Gao Xiaodong must also move laterally. Intercepting Messi's cross-cut shots and breakthroughs can pose a great threat to the goal.
When Messi saw Gao Xiaodong following him, he immediately moved the ball with the outside of his foot and moved to the wing again.
Messi showed his sword. If Gao Xiaodong turned around and took a step slower, Messi could quickly pass the ball down.
Now Manchester United's formation is in chaos,
If Messi makes a pass, the threat to the goal will increase exponentially.
If it were Gao Xiaodong before promotion, without physical transformation, he would definitely not be able to keep up with Messi's two moves. However, after the transformation, Gao Xiaodong's flexibility and agility are not much worse than Messi's. Messi's two movements are not completely After throwing Gao Xiaodong away, Gao Xiaodong immediately got close to him. He first reached out and touched Messi, and then shouldered it, causing Messi to stagger.
Gao Xiaodong's center of gravity is very stable and his reactions are quick. The moment Messi's center of gravity is unbalanced, he has an equal opportunity to compete for the ball with Messi.
Gao Xiaodong was on the defensive side. Facing Messi, he was not prepared to cut off the ball and directly destroy it with great force. Messi wanted to control the ball. At this time, the stronger one naturally took advantage and Messi lost the ball. With his control, the ball flew directly out of the sideline.
The referee Kaushoy thought it was a hit on Messi's foot that went out of bounds, and the ball was awarded to Manchester United.
If the ball was given to Manchester United, it would mean the failure of the confrontation between Messi and Gao Xiaodong. Messi was very unconvinced. He argued to the referee that he had touched Gao Xiaodong, but Kaushoy did not accept it.
Messi and Gao Xiaodong are the banner figures of Manchester United and Barcelona. Gao Xiaodong's victory in the confrontation made the Red Devils fans very excited. They immediately stood up and applauded vigorously towards the stadium and shouted Gao Xiaodong's name.
Gao Xiaodong is a bad boy. When he saw the fans applauding, he immediately clasped his fists in the stands to thank Messi, deliberately irritating Messi.
Messi was already angry when he failed, and now he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could punch Gao Xiaodong.
Evra was very calm. After the ball went out of bounds, he quickly came over to serve the ball from the sideline without waiting for the referee to determine the right of the ball, without giving Barcelona a chance to surround him.
Messi could only come over to defend Gao Xiaodong.
Messi just wanted to defeat Gao Xiaodong in a one-on-one. Gao Xiaodong felt the same as Ming Jing. Although he is the core of Manchester United, he is also a 22-year-old young man with a strong competitive spirit. After Evra threw the ball over, he It was obvious that Gao Xiaodong could knock the ball back to Evra, but Gao Xiaodong did not do that. Instead, he leaned on Messi and forced a turn.
Gao Xiaodong is heavier and stronger than Messi. Gao Xiaodong turned around and Messi couldn't stop him without fouling.
Of course, Messi cannot let Gao Xiaodong pass. This will not only give Manchester United an opportunity to counterattack quickly, but will also cause a huge loss of face.
Messi had just failed in a one-on-one challenge against Gao Xiaodong and was angry. He also felt that the referee's penalty was unfair. All his anger was vented on Gao Xiaodong. The moment Gao Xiaodong turned around, Messi hit Gao Xiaodong's ankle hard from behind. One kick.
Messi really exerted his strength, even Gao Xiaodong felt severe pain through the super protective gear.
Of course Gao Xiaodong would not receive this kick in vain. He immediately fell to the ground, holding his calf and rolling on the ground hoarsely, as if his leg was broken.
The referee Kaushoy was right next to him. He saw Messi's action clearly. Originally, this action did not constitute a yellow card, but when he saw that Messi was using such force and causing so much damage to Gao Xiaodong, he immediately took out the yellow card. Messi was warned.
Manchester United fans were not satisfied with this penalty. They applauded and shouted: "Red card".
Messi is not a defensive player. Guardiola doesn't care too much about Messi receiving yellow cards. He is afraid that after Messi and Gao Xiaodong get angry, they will give up team fighting and fight alone. This will be detrimental to Barcelona. After all, Barcelona is Team football.
Ferguson had the same worry. Although Scholes played, Gao Xiaodong was the main force of the offense. Scholes' dispatch alone could not lead the score.
The team doctor came on the scene and wanted to carry Gao Xiaodong out, but Gao Xiaodong waved away, limped back to his feet, and reached for the ball.
Gao Xiaodong's action caused cheers from Manchester United fans, "Did you see it! This is the spirit of the Red Devils!" "You can't get out of the line of fire even if you are slightly injured! Well done to Gao." "Xiaodong is amazing! Mei Xiao is shameless!"
Of course, it was impossible for Scholes to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong. He glanced ahead and found Rooney in front with a long pass.
Rooney stopped the ball with his chest and wanted to pass the ball to Valencia on the wing, but Mascherano behind Rooney pretended to grab a header and bumped into Rooney. The ball deflected and was intercepted by Busques.
Busques passed the ball to Messi with a long pass.
Before Messi even touched the ball, Gao Xiaodong anticipated Busquets' pass, rushed there first, and forcibly intercepted the ball in front of Messi.
Just now Gao Xiaodong looked like he was dying when he was kicked by Messi, but now he immediately completed the steal again with great vigor, which made Messi very angry. He stretched out his foot from behind to hook Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong's super glasses were like eyes on the back of his head. He jumped up and avoided Messi's hook.
Messi kept doing nothing, accelerating forward, trying to get in front of Gao Xiaodong to steal the ball.
When Messi rushed to be shoulder to shoulder with Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong bumped his shoulder and at the same time hit Messi's ribs with his elbow.
Messi was knocked to the ground. He became angry in pain and raised his foot to kick Gao Xiaodong's back heel.
Gao Xiaodong saw this action. He could have moved forward to avoid it, but he deliberately did not avoid it and was kicked by Messi.
Gao Xiaodong fell to the ground again, rolling around holding his legs.
Manchester United players immediately came to surround Messi and the referee, demanding that Messi be sent off.
The referee Kao Shaoyi was very close to the scene of the incident and saw the fierce reaction of the Manchester United players. He was worried that the situation could not be controlled and subconsciously took out the yellow card to warn Messi. After taking out the card, Kao Shaoyi remembered that Messi had just received a yellow card. .
Kao Shaoyi reluctantly took out another red card and asked Messi to leave the field.
