295 Super Long Shot
The two sides had several disputes on the field, the referee played 50 boards each, Trapani's Essien and Barzagli received yellow cards, and Barcelona's Eto'o and Thuram also received yellow cards.
Barcelona finally created a lot of chances after 70 minutes, and Trapani's defence was in jeopardy.
Laporta's palms were sweating, and Hugo's heart was pounding, this is Barcelona, which is ruthless, and the fact that the bus may not work.
Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o are alive and that is a big problem.
In the 78th minute, Essien's back-tackle was placed on Ronaldinho, and the referee reached into his jacket pocket.
What I didn't say was to give a yellow card, which means that Trapani is going to face Barcelona with ten men, which is certainly what Trapani doesn't want to see!
And Essien also gave a free kick in a good position, Ronaldinho has that free kick mastery!
The Trapani fans immediately erupted in boos, and of course they thought there was something wrong with the decision!
Mascherano was quick-eyed, ran up and covered the referee's pocket, and kept saying in Spanish that it wasn't a foul, trying to get the referee to retract his thoughts.
Hugo slammed the seat "Fuck, this ball is all foul?!" ”
Platini gave Hugo a blank look, isn't this a foul?! The referee did a good job of giving penalties and controlling emotions today, and this time the decision was also correct, there were no mistakes.
The referee dragged Mascherano away, first gave this guy a yellow card, you are too arrogant, you actually stopped me from giving the card, if it weren't for Mascherano's intention to not attack, the referee gave him a red card and had nothing to say.
The words attacking the referee don't depend on what the referee says.
Then there was Essien, two yellows and one red, sent off the field, no matter how the Trapani players pleaded, Ballack was extremely angry, he seemed to think that the referee was against Trapani, and Mascherano's yellow card was very wronged.
The Barcelona players separated the noisy Trapani players with Kameni, don't get involved with the referee, offend ruthlessly, have your good fruit to eat!
Barcelona naturally doesn't want the referee to keep theorizing with the Trapani players, what a waste of time!
Ranieri had no choice, so Li Tie was prepared, substitution, Di Maria, and the midfield could not be less.
Li Tie has started less this season, but he is more comfortable and can get the opportunity to come off the bench from time to time!
Rijkaard also made a substitution at this time, replacing Oleg with Gudjohnsen, and if he didn't fight at this time, he had to go crazy!
Barcelona's set-piece, the position on the right side of the edge of the penalty area, about 24 meters from the goal, is very suitable for Ronaldinho's madness.
When the referee's whistle blew, Ronaldinho took a few steps back, ran up, shot, and the ball fell into the net, but Kameni didn't react.
To be precise, he was not unresponsive, and moved a small step under his feet, but Ronaldinho's free kick level was too high, extremely fast, and could maintain a perfect arc.
Deco ran over to pick up the ball as soon as possible, and the funny Kameni seemed to wake up from a dream, and went to grab the ball with Deco, preventing Deco from quickly swinging the ball back into the center circle, and the two former teammates fought for a red face and thick neck, and the scene was a bit funny.
Because of this scrum, the referee gave Kameni another yellow card, thinking that he deliberately grabbed the ball to delay time.
After almost 80 minutes of hard work, Barcelona finally scored a goal, which was too tough!
Laporta raised his arms and shouted, Hugo scolded his mother in his heart, what are you proud of, you still have a fucking ball, just hold on, see how you bastard laugh?!
Trapani's formation changed to 432, the midfield was still triangular, and the forwards became Messi and Adriano.
The cheering in the stadium was much quieter, and the anxious situation in the stadium at this moment made everyone's heartstrings tense.
Barcelona's frequent strong attacks, they are not good at passing high balls, and now they are also making strong crosses, crosses when they have the opportunity, Rijkaard is obviously pressed, and the success rate of this kind of ball is not too high, there is no doubt about it.
And most importantly, this style of play gave Trapani a lot of chances, and Trapani was able to get a quick counter-attack, and Trapani had a lot more shots on goal than in the first half.
As the game drew to a close, the game between the two sides became more open.
In the 87th minute, Barcelona crossed again, no surprise, still unsuccessful, Gudjohnsen had no advantage in the battle for the top, one is that he is not young, and the other is that Trapani's defenders are very good, and they cleared the ball first.
Ballack got the ball on the edge of the box, stepped on it, simply asked Xavi for the defense, and then played a long pass.
Adriano, who was aggrieved all over the field, started to accelerate, stopped the ball on his chest, and Barcelona's right central defender Thuram chased desperately and was ready for fouls.
Then the surprising scene happened, Adriano unloaded the ball with his chest unconventionally, and then a violent volley!
He didn't give Thuram a chance to foul at all, he didn't stop the ball at all, waiting for backup, but shot, to be precise, hanging the door!
So there is one of the candidates for the "best goal" in the Champions League this season, Valdés moves fast, but is not tall enough, and Adriano's volley is extremely felt, powerful, accurate and lucky.
Valdés was originally a goalkeeper who likes to attack, this time Adriano has been watching him for a long time, and he did not hesitate to seize such an opportunity, Valdés ran a few steps back, in vain, he flew and didn't even touch the edge of the ball!
"Whew!" The sound of a football scraping against the net is so wonderful, it's a sound that mesmerizes all Trapani fans!
“bravo!” Hugo got up from his seat and shouted with excitement, he couldn't help but be excited, this is Adriano's aesthetics of violence.
Forty meters away! Forty meters away!
You can't be shocked if you don't want to!
With such a goal, Adriano went crazy, he took off his shirt and waved it in his hand, "Oh oh oh ......".
Laporta was stunned, Barcelona are really in a desperate situation now, they have to score two more goals, but the game is only a few minutes away, is this possible?! There may have been many examples of games where there were minutes left to turn defeats into victories, but Laporta was extremely skeptical of the team's chances of success, because the team could not crack the bus, Ronaldinho had several times to clear everything, and Eto'o was limited to sprint space and did nothing.
Rijkaard used up his last substitution, while Ranieri had two more spots left and he didn't use them until stoppage time when he brought on Vucinic for goal-scorer Adriano.
In the end, Barcelona failed to make a final comeback and drew away from Trapani.
"It was a good game! Is that right?! Mr. Laporta?! Hugo said to Laporta after receiving Platini's congratulations.
"It's a fantastic night for you, but for me, it's really bad! Anyway, I have to congratulate you! I wish we had lost to the champions, there would be no shame! Laporta said as if he was very generous.
"It's going to be as you wish!" Hugo replied smugly.
After the game, Hugo would invite everyone to dinner, but then he went to the dressing room with Trapani's hierarchy to congratulate his players.
There were cheers in the dressing room of Trapani as they defeated Champions League rivals Barcelona and Ballack was making his passionate speech, but unfortunately he spoke in English, and how infectious it was was another matter.
