Chapter 468: Beasts
Baptista, who had just accelerated, fell to the ground like a galloping wild horse tripped over a tripping horse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
And the football rolled off the line, while deafening boos rang out from the stands at the Pizjuán Stadium.
In the midst of this huge boo, the most eye-catching thing is that the referee's whistle was immediately blown violently.
Seeing the scene, Sevilla coach Caparos got up from his seat and looked inside the field, and then the boss waved his fist in celebration.
Almost at the same time, Leon thundered on the sidelines and slammed the tactical board in his hand to the ground.
The reason the two managers were so excited was that referee Gomez, who officiated the game, ran into the box and pointed his finger at the target - the penalty spot.
***********
Look in the direction of Gomez's finger...... It's a penalty! It's a penalty!"
"Hierro tried to stop Baptista, but his final tackle brought down the Brazilian! It was a penalty! The foul was in the box, there was nothing wrong with the penalty!"
As the commentator said, the referee awarded a penalty, a penalty that was not controversial.
The Sporting Gijón players were thrilled by the decision and they gathered around to explain to the referee that Hierro had committed a foul outside the penalty area, but Baptista had fallen in the box...... Of course, they don't have any evidence, but what if they fool the referee?! Although this possibility is less than 1 in 10,000, but they have to fight for it!
However, the referee's attitude was very resolute, he ignored the protests of the Sporting Gijón players, he kept dividing his hands outward, signaling the Sporting Gijón players who surrounded him to disperse, so he lined up the crowd and walked towards the captain of Sporting Gijón who had just gotten up from the ground, and at the same time, he took out a sign from his pocket and flashed it to Hierro: Red!
Hierro's face immediately changed, the moment he made the tackle, he realized that something was wrong, he had miscalculated the speed of this opponent, and then saw Baptista fall in the penalty area, Hierro closed his eyes in great pain, he knew that the penalty could not be run.
Then, Hierro is guessing what kind of brand he will eat, such a foul in the penalty area, eating cards is certain, but the difference is a yellow card or a red card, judging from Hierro's foul action, both yellow cards and red cards can be used, it depends on how the referee sentences, however, considering that the game has just started less than ten minutes, taking into account the balance factor of maintaining the game, in the case of both yellow and red cards, the referee will generally be merciful, so the possibility of yellow cards is relatively large.
***********
Hierro thought he would receive a yellow card, which is the penalty scale that the referee would normally choose.
Therefore, when he saw that the referee showed him a red card, his whole face changed.
Penalty and red card!
Only nine minutes into the game, as the captain of the team, he was sent off with a red card and gave the opponent a penalty!
The 36-year-old veteran Hierro pleaded eagerly to the referee, he did not deny that he had committed a foul, but only emphasized that the foul was not malicious, it was aimed at football, and the yellow card was enough for the original intention of the foul......
The referee ignored the plea of the former Spanish national team and Real Madrid captain and current captain of Sporting Gijón, pointed to the sidelines with a serious expression, and motioned for Hierro to leave the field immediately!
Just nine minutes into the game, Sporting Gijón's captain and centre-back Fernando Hierro was red-carded by referee Gomez for bringing down Baptista in the box, and a penalty was awarded to Sevilla. Commentator Dagstino looked at Hierro who walked to the sidelines with a painful face on the field, and said, "Hierro is indeed old, thirty-six-year-old Hierro, he is no longer young, if he is ten years younger, he may be able to complete a successful defense this time, but, unfortunately, he is old, his thinking and experience are top-notch, but his body reaction is half a beat slower, and the result is - he fouled!"
"Hierro was sent off with a red card, referee Gomez's decision was a bit too harsh, and this foul, a yellow card is more appropriate!" said commentator Gonzalez.
***********
Li Ang, who saw this scene off the field, gritted his teeth, just now when he saw the referee take out the red card, he jumped angrily, he wanted to scold, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw Hierro's painful expression, watching the veteran leave the field lonely, Leon's angry emotions were actually suppressed, and he suddenly had some sadness, as the commentator Dagstino said, Hierro is old, the Spanish football superstar, this cheering at the Bernabeu, The former Real Madrid captain who lifted the trophy is old, the wind and rain are sluggish, the hero is twilight, and the saddest thing in life is nothing more than this.
Hierro wanted to say something, but opened his mouth, he didn't say it, he was in pain, and at the same time a little guilty, he said that the captain of the team, now just nine minutes into the game, was sent off, and at the same time left the opponent with a penalty.
Leon hugged the veteran and patted him on the shoulder.
He whispered in Hierro's ear, "Don't take it to heart. We have a chance in this game. ”
However, both Leon and Hierro knew that this was just a word of comfort, how could they not take it to heart. Everyone knows what a passive situation it is to fight against 11, not to mention the fact that there is one less person to fight not long after the game starts.
***********
Baptista was tackled to the ground by Hierro, and Leon thought that Baptista was going to be injured, even if it was a minor injury, so Hierro's red card could be regarded as a contribution.
However, he saw that Baptista had nothing to do at all, and actually picked up the ball, which was ready to take the penalty himself.
"The beast. Li Ang scolded hatefully.
'The Beast' is Baptista's nickname, a nickname given to him by Sevilla journalists after Baptista arrived in Spain, and it quickly spread among fans: when the Brazilian arrived in Seville for a medical check-up on the first day, he amazed reporters with his strong body, and even emphasized that his muscles are natural, and he had never been to any gym in Brazil before. In his first interview with the Spanish media, he even wore a Sevilla jersey that had been torn from the game, stained with sweat and blades of grass, a fierce image that was published in a newspaper with the headline "The Beast - Baptista".
There was no change in the penalty and the Sevillas had a chance to score from the spot.
Baptista puts the ball on the penalty spot and then steps back, ready to shoot.
At this time, Sporting Gijón, including Leon, still had a certain fluke mentality: the penalty kick was not a 100% goal rate, what if the goalkeeper Valencia performed well and saved the penalty?
But Baptista soon burst the bubble of Gijón fantasy himself.
Referee Gomez's whistle blows.
Baptista volleys directly into the bottom right corner after a run!
Although Sporting Gijón's goalkeeper Valencia managed to get the right direction, Baptista had a powerful shot and a tricky angle, and the ball was already flying under him and into the net before Valencia's body fell completely.
***********
“Goooooooooooooool!”
"The goal is in!1:0! Sevilla FC at home leads Sporting Gijón!"
The entire Estadio Pizjuán was like an erupting volcano, and everyone was yelling excitedly, stomping their feet, and celebrating the goal frantically.
On the field, the Sevilla players were also frantically celebrating their goals, and Baptista was even more excited to strip and celebrate.
On the sidelines, Sevilla coach Caparros also happily waved his fists in celebration. With a 1-0 lead and a man sent off, Sevilla's start to the season was nothing short of picturesque.
While the Sevillans were celebrating, Leon approached the fourth official and protested against the referee's unfair decision. Li Ang had no doubts about the penalty award, he questioned the red card, he thought that a yellow card was enough, and the red card was obviously wrong! The emotional Li Ang even almost said what the referee was deliberately targeting his team, but fortunately he was not dizzy at the critical moment, and he held back this sentence vividly.
In response to Li Ang's protest, the fourth official warned the Chinese coach to be careful and not to talk nonsense: the referee's decision was unquestionable and impartial.
Just your sister!
Leon insisted that the referee was too biased in favour of the home team, or that it was against Sporting Gijón, otherwise a yellow card would normally be enough.
Leon returned to the dugout in a rage, his face was very ugly, his expression was extremely gloomy, the game was only ten minutes into the game, the score was 0-1 down, the people were 10-11 behind, and his team was in big trouble at the Pizjuan Stadium.
