Chapter 138: The Question of Adjudication
April 27 arrived as scheduled, and Mourinho was in a 433 formation as usual for this game. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Goalkeeper: Casillas
Defenders: Arbeloa, Ramos, Albiol, Marcelo
Midfielder: Pepekhdila Alonso
Forward: Cristiano Ronaldo, Zhang Yuan, Ozil
Carvalho suffered a minor injury in training, and Ramos had to return to the middle again, and the midfield remained unchanged from the league and the Copa del Rey game.
The forward position of Ronaldo is fixed, and Mourinho chose to continue to trust Ozil in this game.
On Barcelona's side, Pep Guardiola is definitely still 433.
Goalkeeper: Valdés
Defender: Alves Piquemas, Cherano Puyol
Midfielder: Ketabsquets, Xavi
Forward: Messi Villa Pedro
Barcelona's lineup has made major changes, of course, they are all forced, Barcelona's defenders are very untidy, Guardiola can only bring Puyol to play left-back temporarily, and Pique and Mascherano are still partners in the middle.
In terms of midfield, Iniesta had previously reported that UEFA would impose an additional ban on him, because Iniesta had previously failed to retreat 9.15 meters from the wall when leading 3-0, and voluntarily applied for a yellow card and missed the second leg.
This move is suspected of shuffling, such a thing as shuffling is not new for some big clubs, they often ask players to take the initiative to shuffle for the benefit of the future, but UEFA has no way to grasp the exact evidence.
Penalty or no penalty is entirely a matter of choice, and FC Barcelona submitted relevant representations for this, and in the end Iniesta escaped UEFA punishment, but then he injured his right leg in training, and this game is still unavailable, as for the next leg at Camp Nou, it will only be up to him to recover.
Iniesta's importance to the team is clear, and his absence will affect Barca's possession.
Keita, who replaced him, is not as strong and capable as Iniesta.
But today they faced Real Madrid is not the kind of team that takes the initiative to control the ball, at the beginning of the game, Real Madrid's frontcourt pressing was quite limited, and they made up their minds to rely on defense to counterattack, so the impact of Iniesta's absence was not expected, and Barcelona still controlled the ball after just a few minutes.
It's just that Iniesta's energy lies in the fact that he can not only pass the ball, but also his passing breakthrough is also very good, he is the breakthrough of Barcelona's midfield, Keita does not have such ability, Real Madrid's midfield defense density is particularly large, and it is not easy for Barcelona to penetrate.
So the whole game felt very dull from the beginning, everyone didn't have many opportunities to shoot, mainly in the midfield stalemate, Barcelona passed the ball well, but Real Madrid's midfield interception and tackle was not ambiguous.
Losing two games in a row to Real Madrid, especially the last moment of losing the Copa del Rey crown, the arrogant Barcelona is also a little angry, they finally realized that Real Madrid with Mourinho is not easy to deal with, and from their hearts it was an accident at Camp Nou 5:2.
Therefore, in the face of Real Madrid's ferocious interception, Barcelona also used ferocious interception, aiming to cut off Real Madrid's counterattack speed.
Today with Zhang Yuan is Mascherano again, in the 5th minute, he made a malicious blocking foul on Zhang Yuan, facing the very threatening Zhang Yuan, he used a hugging action, two hands grabbed Zhang Yuan's waist like iron tongs, and directly knocked Zhang Yuan to the ground.
The referee on duty is still Zhang Yuan's old acquaintance "Stark", the referee is German, Zhang Yuan has also encountered him many times in the Bundesliga, and in the face of Mascherano's obvious foul, Stark only issued a warning to Mascherano.
Of course, he also had his considerations, after all, it was only five minutes into the game, and Mascherano was not the last defender, the foul was committed near the midfield, with Pique and Puyol on the left behind him.
But Zhang Yuan must be dissatisfied with such a punishment, he stood up and ran to Stark, and kept chattering about Stark, such a foul will not be given a card?!
Stark shrugged, I have given him a serious warning, you should obey my punishment! Zhang Yuan, you have to be calm and calm, this is not a yellow card, we all know it!
Calm Nima's head, knowing Nima's size, Zhang Yuan scolded helplessly in his heart, he could only give up and keep entangled, I'm afraid Mascherano didn't get a yellow card, and Zhang Yuan himself should get the card.
The decision drew earth-shattering boos from Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu, and Mourinho certainly did not miss such an opportunity to put pressure on the referee, shouting from the sidelines to fully express his displeasure.
Stark saw that Mourinho was so emotional, he quickly ran to the sidelines and gave Mourinho a warning, "Mr. Mourinho!
Mourinho pleaded with him, and Stark said: "I am in control of the game, I have measure, I don't need you to dictate our work on the sidelines, you are interfering with the normal work of our referee team, I hope you don't show up next time!"
Mourinho can only helplessly spread his hands in the face of the departing Stark, this looks like he is explaining to Real Madrid fans, I can't do anything when I encounter such a referee.
The match went on and the two sides began hand-to-hand combat, and it was clear that the decision had relaxed the physical contact between the two sides, and it didn't matter if Stark was a good referee or not, at least so far the game had not been what he had imagined to be in his hands.
Because it is a national derby, the referee selection is very concerned, but UEFA is unlikely to satisfy both sides, before the referee of this match is determined, the Spanish media pro-Barcelona "Le Monde" has predicted that UEFA is likely to arrange Swiss referee Busaka to officiate the national derby in the Champions League semi-finals. The Red and Blues are unbeaten with six wins and two draws, and of course his "most famous" decision came in Barcelona's 3-1 win over Arsenal in this season's Champions League, when he sent off Robin van Persie with two yellows and one red, causing a huge controversy.
When the referee determined that it was Stark, not Busaka, the pro-Real Madrid newspaper "As" came to pick on the stab, and in the match between Argentina and Nigeria in the World Cup in South Africa, Stark said: "I admire Messi for playing, he is one of the best in the world. Hopefully get Messi's jersey after the game. Through these remarks, the newspaper "As" asserted that Stark is a Messi fan, and insinuated that Stark is not good for Real Madrid, and he must be biased towards Barcelona.
Previously, some pro-Real Madrid media revealed that it would be the Portuguese referee who officiated the game, which must be beneficial to Real Madrid, because the villagers had tears in their eyes when they saw them.
Many of the predictions made by the media are eye-catching, and sometimes some biases are just for the right readers, but most of the information that fans can know comes from the media.
From the beginning of this game, Real Madrid fans found out that this Stark is really Messi's fans are really biased towards Barcelona, so they spare no effort to put pressure on Stark, Barcelona fouls and does not give cards They will boo, shh
So far in this game, there have been a lot of stops, Stark and the players are completely booing the game, Stark's stomach is full of fire, and the phrase "one misstep is hated for eternity" is the perfect description of his current state.
If Mascherano had been given a yellow card in the fifth minute, the game would not have developed into such a fierce state, and the fans on the sidelines might not have given him such a faceless appearance.
But it's hard to buy regret medicine, he can only blow it like this now, and he can't blindly give cards and punish him heavily, which is not good for anyone, he gives a red card that may make the whole game collapse, and he doesn't want to be this historical sinner.
According to his current thinking, since you have a big scale, I will try to be as lenient as possible, as long as the key ball is not ambiguous, and none of you are sent off, I can finally finish a game, and after the game, at most I will be criticized for being lenient in the penalty scale, which is not a big problem.
If it is criticized for influencing the trend of the whole game, this is a scandal for the referee, maybe UEFA will support it, but his reputation will definitely be seriously affected, Stark is not stupid, but he is smart and should not know that the current state on the field is caused by him.
