Chapter 854: Follow the Trend
The Napoli team drove the goal kick out, and Jiang Chen directly headed the ball and ferried the football to Mertens.
Mertens won the ball and went straight to the Barcelona penalty area.
Mertens' breakthrough was sharp, instantly into the Barcelona team's penalty area, and Barcelona's defenders Semedo and Digne quickly pounced and went up to intercept.
At this time, Mertens shook his feet and knocked the ball to Jiang Chen, who came up.
Jiang Chen's insertion was very timely, and he received the football directly.
Jiang Chen, who received the football, saw that there was no one around him to defend, so he directly slammed his leg towards the football.
"Mertens makes a wonderful pass, Tatsu directly volleys with his feet!" Sky Sports commentator Baroni immediately roared with excitement, his voice was loud and his heart was full of anticipation.
The players and fans of the Barcelona team were frightened and worried.
And just as Jiang Chen was shooting with his feet, someone suddenly pushed him behind him, and Jiang Chen stumbled forward two steps before falling down.
The referee's whistle sounded, and Pique, who was returning to the defense, hurriedly pushed down Jiang Chen from behind, and the foul was in the penalty area, this must be a penalty!
There was jubilation in the stands, and all the Napoli fans roared excitedly at this time: "Penalty! Penalty kick! Red! Red! It's a penalty! It's a red card, send him off! ”
And the fans of the Barcelona team at the scene were also very excited, and they immediately roared excitedly: "Fake fall!" That damn Chinese fake fall! Red card, referee, will take the damned Chinese off the field, red card! ”
'It should have been a penalty, it was clearly a penalty!' Sky Sports commentator Baroni said: "Sure enough, the referee pointed to the penalty spot! It's a penalty, there's nothing wrong with that! ”
The Barcelona players surrounded the referee excitedly, but the referee's actions were very resolute, and he clearly saw that Pique pushed down Jiang Chen, who was about to shoot, behind him, and there was absolutely no problem with this penalty!
And the same goes for the video replay, no doubt!
However, the foul Pique was excited, and his face was wronged, he thought that Jiang Chen was faking a fall.
Pique excitedly rushed to the referee and shouted at the referee: "Referee, this is a fake fall!" That guy is so strong? How is it possible to be overturned at a touch? This is definitely a fake fall, you should send the Chinese off the field! ”
But the referee didn't care about this, saying that he did have a foul on his hand, and people also fell, even if it was a fake fall, your foul action was always real, right?
Jiang Chen got up from the ground and high-fived Mertens, he did fall down just now, and football players need to take advantage of the situation when they have time on the field.
Jiang Chen is not a fool, since you have a foul move, why didn't Jiang Chen fall?
After the appeal was invalidated, the Barcelona players scattered, in fact they did so in a way that the referee might have found a balance in the later games.
However, the referee still gave Pique a yellow card at this time!
The Napoli fans on the scene were a little dissatisfied with this yellow card, this should be a red card, this should be a red card!
The referee ignored the men and motioned for the Napoli players to come up and take the penalty.
"Penalty! It was undoubtedly a penalty and it was an opportunity for Napoli. Sky Sports commentator Baroni immediately shouted movingly.
Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri on the sidelines was also waving his fists with excitement, and he seemed to see hope of an equaliser.
And Valverde's expression at this time was ugly, and he naturally couldn't accept such a result, which was simply too tricky.
Penalties, that's an undeniable fact, the Barcelona can't change all that, they just have to accept it.
At this time, Jiang Chen did not go forward to take the penalty, but Mertens walked up with the football in his arms, and he will take the penalty in the future.
"Even, it's Mertens! Mertens will take the penalty in the future! Sky Sports commentator Baroni said.
The Napoli fans were very nervous, and they immediately prayed that the goal would fly into the Barcelona goal.
Mertens scurried for a run and then conceded a spoon penalty.
Barcelona's goalkeeper Ter Stegen flew out towards the right side of the goal at a rapid pace, and the football flew into Barcelona's goal without any suspense.
The goal was scored, four to one, and Napoli changed the score to 5-6, and they were only one goal behind!
At this time, the fans of the Napoli team were very excited, they were about to create a miracle, they were so excited, they immediately roared excitedly in their home stadium.
The fans of the Barcelona team are even more nervous at this time, they can feel that their breathing is getting shorter and shorter, and they are very worried.
On the sidelines, Barcelona's coach Valverde was also very nervous at this time, and this game was completely developing in the direction that was unfavorable to them, and this game was very thrilling.
Valverde frowned, he knew that he couldn't continue like this, otherwise this game would really be finished.
Valverde came to the sidelines and reminded the Barcelona players that they must hold on and never give the Napolins any more chances.
The players of the Barcelona team on the field were also very nervous at this time, and there was a lot of pressure in their hearts, and they were all a little timid.
But at this time, Messi of the Barcelona team performed very well, he was as determined as ever, and every breakthrough he made would cause very big problems for the Napoli team, which made Sarri on the sidelines nervous.
At this time, on the field, it was Messi, the veteran player of the Barcelona team, who was holding the ball, and the defenders of the Napoli team were very nervous, staring at Messi who was holding the ball.
The players of the Napoli team have been very strict and cautious about Messi's defense, but Messi still broke through one after another, and the Napoli team's defense found an opportunity to shoot in the penalty area.
With a thud, the ball flew towards the Napoli goal.
Sepe swooped in but he couldn't get the ball and all the Napoli fans in the stadium thought it was over.
But at this time, Koulibaly made a sliding tackle and shoveled the football off the goal line, and the Napoli fans immediately erupted in excited cheers.
The people of Barcelona looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling depressed.
