Chapter 708: 'Impossible' Goal!
Rizzoli held a red card in his hand held high.
There is no doubt that he is the center of attention at the moment.
Rizzoli then pointed to the penalty spot.
Red card plus penalty.
The scene exploded immediately.
Barcelona's ball 'fans' jumped up and cheered. Manchester United's fans first covered their faces, they couldn't believe what was happening, and then they started to curse.
"How could it be a penalty?"
"Where did we foul?"
“****!”
"I said a long time ago, Platini is not a good bird!"
On the field, Manchester United football fans were also excited by the bright red and red "stingers", and they surrounded the referee to express their dissatisfaction and protest against his decision.
The Barcelona players were already celebrating, with Puyol coming up and patting Pique on the shoulder, while others rallied around the young defender to cheer on their penalty.
Pique's credit is not small, not to mention the penalty, but also caused the opponent's central defender to be sent off.
'Penalty, red card, Rio Ferdinand handball in the box, he blocked Pique's goal. Well done. The Catalan commentator praised Pique, "As a centre-back, Pique has made a contribution this time, and his greatness is not inferior to that of a top striker." ”
※※※※※※※
Pep Guardiola also raised his arms and cheered for Pique. As the commentator said, Pique's contribution this time is even more powerful than the top striker, if Barcelona takes this penalty, it will be an equalizer, in addition, Guardiola values the red card the most, Ferdinand is the core of Manchester United's defense, he was sent off, the blow to Manchester United is huge, not only is there one less person on the field, but it will also completely 'disrupt' Manchester United's defense. Manchester United's defence will be weakened and will not be able to withstand Barcelona's formidable attacking line.
Pep Guardiola was ecstatic on his side and Ferguson was furious.
"Where's the handball? you sue me, which eye did the damn referee see the handball?" Ferguson roared.
Hearing Ferguson's disrespect to the referee, the fourth official came up to dissuade, "Mr. Ferguson, please pay attention to your words. Please calm down. ”
"Attention, what attention? We suffered a penalty that was unwarranted, there was no handball at all! And our people were sent off! How do you calm me down? Damn!"
The fourth official's face turned green, "If you don't control the situation again, I'll call the referee over." “
He's not just a threat this time, if the godfather of Manchester United is not honest, he doesn't mind telling the referee to sanction the irascible old man. Ask him to rest on the stand.
Manchester United assistant coach Mike. Phelan apologized to the fourth official and dragged Ferguson back almost in a hurry.
Now, penalties and red cards are irreversible, and if manager Alex Ferguson is sent off again, it will be truly the end of the world for Manchester United.
At this time, the commentators were also expressing their opinions on the referee Rizzoli's decision.
"The red card and the penalty took a heavy blow to Manchester United. “
'Pique complained about Rio Ferdinand's handball and we don't know exactly what happened, but referee Rizzoli seemed to hesitate before awarding a red card and a penalty. “
"The penalty may be acceptable for Manchester United, but the red card is a big blow to them because they have equalised and they still have a chance, but with one less person, the impact is too great. “
"What happened will only be seen in a replay of the replay for a while. “
"Barcelona have a great opportunity!"
"Barcelona didn't just get the equaliser from the penalty spot, they also had a numerical advantage, which could tip the scales. “
"Rizzoli's decision was very controversial. “
At this time, the slow-motion replay finally came, and many football 'fans' in front of the TV watched with wide eyes, trying to 'figure out' what was going on in the penalty area just now.
Xavi takes the corner kick out, and in the box, Pique jumps high and heads the ball!
It was a very dangerous header indeed.
Van der Sar leaped and barely pounced on the ball.
Then the ball bounced back and hit Ferdinand's arm in front of the 'goal', out of the bottom line!
"Oops, yes!" Duan Xuan shouted, "It's indeed handball, and the football was touched by Ferdinand's arm." The penalty for handball was correct, and the penalty was saved. ”
"However, the red card is debatable. Liu Jianhong said, "Ferdinand is too close, he has no time to react, not so much that he deliberately handballed, to be precise, the football flew to his arm, objectively speaking, handball and penalty kicks can be awarded, and then it is enough to give Ferdinand a yellow card, the red card is indeed too harsh." ”
Duan Xuan and Liu Jianhong were sighing in their hearts, worried that the referee Rizzoli's decision would put Manchester United in a very disadvantageous situation, could Yang Fan's 'outstanding' performance in the first half of the game not ensure that Manchester United won the championship? Will Yang Fan's efforts come to naught? Is it really so difficult for Chinese to win a Champions League championship?
It's so difficult!
This is the same thought in the hearts of two people, in the face of a super team like Barcelona, the disadvantage of one less person will be infinitely magnified, Manchester United is really dangerous.
※※※※※※※
United's protest could not change referee Rizzoli's decision.
They were also punished for protesting too emotionally, with Yang Fan being shown a yellow card, which he had just shouted in protest. In addition, Ryan Giggs also received a yellow card.
Messi stood at the penalty spot again.
"Messi came to take the penalty. If the ball goes in, he will also score a brace. ”
"Will it get in?"
Referee Rizzoli looked at Messi, meaning that he could start, and the latter nodded confidently.
Rizzoli exited the box and blew his whistle.
Messi runs, 'shoots' and 'goals'!
His penalty was taken from a tricky angle, and although Van der Sar had judged the right direction, he could not prevent the ball from going into the net, which bounced on the inside of the post and into the net.
“goooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaal!”
"Messi goooooooooaaal!"
"The ball is in! Messi is a beautiful penalty! He has a big heart!"
"Three to three! Barcelona equalised! What a 'good' prize!" shouted the Catalan commentator, "Now, let's equalize!
"Barcelona got off to a perfect start in the second half!"
Messi scored the penalty, and Barcelona also needed to thank Pique, who scored the penalty and caused one of his peers to be sent off. ”
"Hooray, Messi!"
"Hooray, Barça!"
Barcelona football 'fans' in the stands jumped up happily, cheering for Messi and cheering for Barcelona.
Barça, Barcelona!
Players are united with the 'fans' of the ball
We are invincible
We've scored a lot of goals
No one is your opponent
The mighty Barcelona are invincible
Flags are flying high
Blue and purple is its 'color'
The team is fighting bravely
Let's call its name - Barça, Barcelona!
Barcelona's anthem also began to ring over the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
In the eyes of Barcelona fans, the trophy is already beckoning to them.
They do have reason to expect that, the score is equalised, 3-3, they have one more man on the pitch and Barcelona have a big chance of winning.
※※※※※※※
"Oh yes. Mother. '' the!" Yang Fan cursed, he gave a cold look at the Barcelona man who was celebrating the goal, and then spat on the ground.
At this time, on the side of the Manchester United bench, Evans was already warming up, Manchester United was sent off a central defender, they must make substitution adjustments, replace a defender, to ensure the integrity of the backline, if facing other teams, Manchester United may dare to say that one less person on the back line is not a big problem, but, in the face of Barcelona, they really can't stand it.
"Ferguson is going to replace Evans, who will he replace?"
The answer was not long in coming.
The electronic sign on the sidelines is raised, and No. 11 Giggs is down.
'Ryan Giggs was substituted and Evans came off the bench. ”
'Ferguson is trying to keep the midfield doing his best. Replaced Ryan Giggs and left both Park Ji-sung and Carrick on the pitch, but will this create a disconnect between the front and back?" commentator Motenson asked. Ryan Giggs' role on the pitch should not be underestimated, and he has a wealth of experience to ensure the consistency and command of United's midfield, after all, neither Cristiano Ronaldo, nor Yang Fan nor Wayne Rooney are the kind of playmakers in midfield.
'Manchester United are in a difficult situation right now and we will see if they can withstand the Barcelona attack in the future. ”
The commentators are worried about Manchester United's defense, after all, Evans cannot compare with Rio Ferdinand in terms of strength and tournament experience.
However, they were surprised to find that after the ensuing kick-off in the centre circle, one of the most threatening attacks came from Manchester United.
This is Yang Fan receiving the ball in the midfield, and Yang Fan passed the football to Rooney and ran straight forward. Rooney passed the ball to Park Ji-sung behind and then ran forward behind Yang Fan.
By the time Park Ji-sung received the football, Yang Fan, Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Patrice Evra had already entered Barcelona's position.
Manchester United have come up with an astonishing attacking 'desire'.
※※※※※※※
Park Ji-sung is now in possession and he is not in a hurry to pass the ball to the front. United now have one man behind them and they have to be cautious every time they go out on the ball. What should I do if I lose the ball with a light long pass?
When Ferguson brought on Evans, he conveyed to the players on the pitch that they had as much possession as possible.
Being able to control the ball at your feet as much as possible can reduce the probability of your goal being threatened by the opponent's attack.
So, instead of passing the ball vertically, Park Ji-sung made a lateral transfer with his big foot and passed the ball to the right side, and then O'Shea was seen 'plugging' in.
O'Shea beautifully unloaded the incoming ball in the air with his front 'chest'.
"Manchester United still haven't given up on attacking!" O'Shea has pressed as well. ”
After O'Shea rushed up, he and Park Ji-sung made a wall-hitting cooperation again, and then, suddenly, he accelerated, bravely broke through with the ball and 'inserted' forward very resolutely!
Xavi came up to intercept, but was directly passed by O'Shea.
"Oooh oh!" Mortensen exclaimed, "Ferguson is very cunning, he wants to score! Manchester United want to score again, to secure the lead, so that they can make the disadvantage of one less man as weak as possible, because at this time if they don't attack, as the game goes by, their disadvantage of one less man will come out, and the players' fitness will be problematic, and it will be impossible to attack at that time." ”
"Stop him!" Harvey shouted back as he turned to chase after him.
Busquets heard Xavi's shout, and he quickly moved closer to O'Shea. Busquets wanted to break the ball and then hit Manchester United on a counter-attack, and Manchester United continued to attack with one less man, which in Busquets' view was to find death! They wanted to seize the gap after Manchester United pressed and give Manchester United a fatal blow.
Of course, O'Shea knows that Busquets is a player who is not easy to deal with, the Spanish midfielder's physical condition is very good, and O'Shea's physical confrontation may not be able to take advantage, he didn't wait for Busquets to come up, and passed the football to Cristiano Ronaldo, who received him in front.
Football is at the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo, which means that there are thousands of possibilities to come.
The strength of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Footballer of the Year is not blown.
After seeing Cristiano Ronaldo get the ball, the Barcelona players naturally started to get nervous. Puyol immediately greeted him. He stared at the soccer ball at his feet. Didn't blindly strike first.
Cristiano Ronaldo's upper body suddenly shook, and Puyol thought he was going to break through, so he hurriedly leaned back and prepared to intercept.
Unexpectedly, Cristiano Ronaldo was just a feint, only to see the Portuguese star dangle a shot, but after a false shot, he dunked the football back, and then passed the football to Evra, who came to answer.
※※※※※※※
Puyol, who was being teased, didn't care about his anger, and he immediately ran towards the penalty area. He knew there was another dangerous man in the box waiting for Patrice Evra's pass.
Puyol was about to rush back to the 'door' to assist in defense, and sure enough, he saw that Yang Fan had suddenly started.
It was then that Patrice Evra made a pass.
"Look at Yang Fan!" Puyol shouted.
Pique hurriedly posted it, he and Yang Fan almost jumped together, but then he realized that he might not be able to top the football, because the landing point of the football was not on his side! Pique was played by Yang Fan, he saw Yang Fan jumping, and subconsciously followed the jump.
The ball flew to the other side.
Then, people saw O'Shea rushing up, he didn't stop the ball, he just shot from a distance!
As the ball flew towards the balls, Rooney suddenly made a deep kick and cushioned the ball.
Fold 'Shoot'!
Valdés struggled to keep the ball out, followed by Alves, who wanted to kick the ball out and clear it.
In the penalty area, Cristiano Ronaldo jumped up and pushed the ball in front of the 'goal' again.
At this time, after jumping and landing, Pique was looking for Yang Fan, but after his eyes quickly scanned the crowd, there was no trace of Yang Fan!
"Yang Fan!" Liu Jianhong shouted excitedly.
Yang Fan tricked Pique into jumping with him, and then after landing, he ran to the left side of the penalty area, intending to meet his teammates, and then saw O'Shea's long-range 'shot', he made a sharp stop and turned around!
Yang Fan turned around sharply just in time to see Valdés pounce on the football and Alves cleared.
Then, when he turned around again, he saw Cristiano Ronaldo ferrying the football to him, and the football flew towards him!
At this time, Yang Fan had his back to the ball, and he knew that it was impossible for him to turn around again to stop the ball in the narrow penalty area.
Yang Fansuo's 'sex' jumped up directly on the spot and then kicked a backward hook!
In the midst of everyone's exclamations, the ball hit the post hard and bounced back.
"It's not over yet!"
Rooney
Rooney almost rushed up to the goal, he didn't even have time to 'shoot' and 'goal', the whole person crashed into the football, and then, he crashed into the net with the football!
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaal!“
“goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaal!”
"The ball is in!"
"Rooney's follow-up shot!" he crashed the ball into the net!"
'Manchester United scored in almost impossible circumstances, they scored! It's incredible to be ahead again so quickly!'
"Four to three!
"Rooney's goal!" Yang Fan's barb 'shot' 'goal' was blocked by the 'goal' post, and he 'shot' the football into it!" Liu Jianhong shouted excitedly, "It's so 'fine'!
Duan Xuan also shouted excitedly, "Who would have thought that Manchester United would actually score again when they were equalized by a penalty kick and sent off a person! They actually took the lead again! This is a warning, they give Barcelona a warning! Although there is one less person on the field, their desire for the championship is no less than that of Barcelona!"
※※※※※※※
"yes!it'sgoooooooooa1!!!" Sky TV announcer Mortenson shouted. "Brilliant goal! Wayne Rooney, now Manchester United are 4-3 ahead of Barcelona!
As Mortensen said, the goal was not pretty, it could even be said to be ugly, it was crashed into the net with the body and the football, but it was so valuable!
"This goal came at the right time and has greatly boosted the morale of Manchester United!" Lineker also shouted, "The Barcelona people think that Manchester United will lose with one less person?
Manchester United fans in the stands of the Stadio Olimpico in Rome erupted in loud cheers. As for the opponent's Barcelona fans, there were few no boos, perhaps they were all stunned by Manchester United's "impossible" goal and didn't know what to say.
No one expected that under such circumstances, the United would be ahead again.
