Poor Oleg, with a shriveled mouth and a tearless look, looked pitifully at the referee. But the referee was like a stone and resolutely signaled him to go down.

Oleg turned around and walked off the pitch dejectedly, and on the sidelines, a member of the Barcelona coaching staff stepped forward to give him a coat and a few words of comfort.

"It was an unnecessary foul," the commentator said unceremoniously, "Oleg was completely dazed, and now Barcelona were passive, and they had to play 10 men for the remaining 45 minutes, which was enough to offset their home advantage." ”

"I wonder what kind of adjustments Rijkaard will make? Now Barcelona have only two defenders left, and Marcos is back at the back for the time being. They should also bring on a defender in the second half. As for who to replace," the commentator racked his brains to analyze, "Messi is impossible to replace, he is in good form and has scored two goals." Ronaldinho should not be replaced either, and his creativity is a guarantee of Barcelona's attacking prowess. Personally, I think it will be Samuel Eto'o. Samuel Eto'o had a disastrous performance and squandered several chances. ”

"Real Madrid counter-attacked, Ricardo advanced at high speed with the ball! Harvey tackles him down and is about to take a card. The referee showed him a yellow card, the fourth for Barcelona. Xavi's foul was very decisive, and if he didn't stop Ricardo in time, after Ricardo broke through, it would form a 4-on-2 situation, which was likely to pose a great threat. ”

"The referee blew the whistle and the first half was over, and the players from both sides walked into the tunnel of players."

"Judging from the situation in the first half, Barcelona as a whole has a certain advantage and creates some good opportunities, but Real Madrid's offensive is also quite threatening, and the score of 2:2 is relatively fair," the commentator gushed, "but in the second half, Barcelona had to respond with 10 men, and they will definitely switch to defense, which will test Real Madrid's attacking ability." ”

"Ricardo was the player who suffered the most aggression in the first half, he was the absolute heart of Real Madrid's attack, and if Barcelona hadn't fouled him, the score would have been more than 2-2 now. But Barcelona also paid the price for 2 yellow cards. ”

'In the second half, there will be a lot of variables. What kind of play will Barcelona adopt when they play with 10 men? Will Ricardo, who has just recovered from injury, be able to hold on to the whole game? If he can't hold on, will he be able to take the lead for Real Madrid before the pitch is off? After all, he is the heart of Real Madrid's attack. If he is off, Real Madrid's offensive will be discounted by half. Marcos, who is in charge of marking Ricardo, has already had a yellow card on him, and his defensive effort will definitely be reduced, can Ricardo open a gap in him? Capello still has a few cards unused, will Cassano and Higuain get a chance? ”

While the commentator was chattering, Capello was watching Ricardo with concern in the away dressing room. "Can you still hold on?"

Ricardo felt like his whole body was falling apart, and his ankle was aching all the time. Barcelona's players used lethal tactics against him one by one, and he lost count of how many times he was knocked down. Originally, he thought that he would be fine with playing 7 or 80 minutes, but now, he is not sure if he can last more than 5 minutes.

"Yes, don't worry, boss." Ricardo gritted his teeth. If it was an ordinary game, he might have offered to go off. But this is the National Derby! This is a crucial battle for Real Madrid to win the title! He can't drop the chain.

He is now certain that Messi was the hat-trick in the national derby.

Judging from the level of activity of Messi's game, scoring another goal is by no means a small probability event.

But, a hat-trick, I will too!

Capello put down his worries and began to lay out his second-half tactics. With one less player, Barcelona's style of play will definitely be different, and Real Madrid will have to change accordingly.

For example, it is necessary to press up, use the numerical advantage to cut off the central axis of Barcelona, suppress Barcelona's transmission cooperation, and use a wide range of organizational mobilization to consume the opponent's physical strength......

Now he just hopes that the team can establish a lead before Ricardo leaves.

The break passed quickly and Barcelona made their first substitution on their return to the pitch. The commentator's speculation came true and Samuel Eto'o was substituted for defender Silvinho.

Marcos was also positioned more drop-back, almost sitting between the back three.

Rijkaard seems to be determined to play defensive counter-attacks at home. But he can't be blamed for this, after all, the team can only play with 10 men, and he can't come up with a better way.

Real Madrid played more aggressively. As soon as the kick-off was kick-off, they attacked.

Ricardo receives a pass from M. Torres in the box. He stopped the ball well, but Marcos and Puyol immediately pounced to block his shot. Ricardo tried to find Kaka or Ruud van Nistelrooy, but Barcelona retreated almost entirely, leaving no gaps, and he had to pass the ball back, and eventually Gago ended the attack with a ridiculously high long-range shot.

One minute later, Real Madrid attacked again, Ramos cut in to receive a wonderful pass from Ruud van Nistelrooy, but unfortunately he was a defender after all, and he didn't stop the ball steadily, so he couldn't get the ball out at the first time. When Barcelona's defensive hole was filled, he had no choice but to cross the ball to the left, only for Raul to stop the ball too much and be squandered by Valdés.

In the 49th minute, Marcos made a mistake when trying to clear the ball at the back, and the ball was cut off by Ricardo. Ricardo immediately took a big step and went down to the baseline to cross with his feet, and Kaka volleyed over the crossbar.

"The disadvantage of Barcelona with one less man is obvious, Real Madrid played a wave of onslaught after the opening, can Barcelona withstand it?" The commentator said, "Now even Ronaldinho and Messi are back in the penalty area, and they are under a lot of pressure. ”

One minute later, Deco fouled Ricardo and received a yellow card, which was their third yellow card against Ricardo.

After being kicked down this time, Ricardo did not stand up immediately, and the Real Madrid fans at the scene were worried one by one. Without Ricardo, they really don't have the confidence to win this game.

Capello also looked anxious, and when Ricardo was helped to the sidelines for treatment, he asked eagerly, "How is it?" Can you still kick? ”

Before the team doctor could say anything, Licardo had already gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!" ”

After some examination, the team doctor looked worried, shook his head and said to Capello: "I personally suggest that it is better to change people immediately." ”

"He can't hold on anymore?" Capello asked with a frown.

"It's not that he can't hold on completely, it's just that it's likely that his injuries will get worse and heal longer."

Capello looked at Ricardo and wanted to hear his own opinion.

"I'm fine," Ricardo grinned, "this fight has to be won." ”

Capello stroked his chin and thought for a long time, then nodded slowly: "When you can't hold on, you must tell me." ”

It's not that he doesn't think the team can win without Ricardo. But it is clear that with Ricardo on the field, Real Madrid's attack is more fluid and has a better chance of winning.

"I'm not going to joke with my body," Ricardo said with a smile in his voice, "but I think it's worth the risk for such an important match." ”

"Then go ahead." Capello waved his hand and sat Higuain, who was already warming up, back down.
