Chapter 876: The National Derby Full of Gunpowder (Three Watches)
The boos that erupted in the stands didn't do anything to Iroh, but the home fans weren't discouraged, and they felt that if they couldn't interfere with Iroh's play, then wouldn't it be the same if they couldn't interfere with the other players? Anyway, it was Valencia who kicked off right away, and if there was a mistake just after kicking off, it would be cool......
However, the referee on duty, Tekira, did not give them extra time to imagine YY, he directly blew the whistle.
Iello kicked the ball to David Villa and then ran to the court, where David Villa did not stick to the ball and half-turned to hand it to David Silva, the playmaker of the game.
ββ¦β¦ The first kick-off is the away Valencia, because their away jersey and the home Barcelona color conflict, so they are wearing the home white shirt and black pants, they attack from the left side of the screen to the right, and Barcelona is from the right side of the screen to the left side of the attack, this game is the second league Valencia and the third Barcelona Barcelona in the league A direct battle, it is worth mentioning that Barcelona was not good at home before, and lost 0:2 at home to promoted Mahcus in the second round of the league. β
As soon as the on-site commentator Howy finished speaking, Arlo received a pass from David Silva on his back on the left rib, and at the same time, he also saw Mascherano rushing up from the flank, so he didn't take the ball and turn, but sent the ball to the feet of full-back Mathieu.
Immediately, the Barcelona fans in the stands erupted in huge boos, who thought that Iroh's return pass was a cowardly act!
Originally, Mascherano should have stopped when he didn't have a chance to touch the football, but what everyone didn't expect was that Mascherano didn't mean to stop his feet, and saw his right foot kicking directly on Iello's supporting foot.
The Camp Nou stadium was still full of boos one second, but the next second, when Mascherano kicked Iello to the ground, the tacit voice of nearly 90,000 Barcelona fans in the stadium changed their words, broke out into huge cheers, and clapped their palms vigorously to applaud Mascherano's behavior.
There were even extreme fans who showed a bloodthirsty glow, chanting that Mascherano should depose this hateful Chinese in the first minute of the opening game, like de Jong, and let him know that the dignity of the great Barcelona cannot be trampled on!
At the same time, the referee on duty, Tekira, also sounded the whistle, signaling that Mascherano was fouled defensively.
Mascherano half-bent over and patted Iello on the shoulder apologetically, while also pointing to the turf and explaining to the referee that the reason why I kicked Iro's supporting foot was because the turf was too slippery, and it was not that he subjectively wanted to kick someone.
Who is Keltraci?
Spanish Golden Whistle!
Where is it not clear what Mascherano means? Obviously it was to give Ielo a dismount at home, but thinking that this was Barcelona's home stadium, he did not give the home team a yellow card less than a minute into the game, but called Mascherano to his side to warn.
Seeing that the referee did not give a card, the person concerned, Mascherano and the manager Pep Guardiola breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, if the yellow card was received in less than a minute of the opening game, then the game would be more difficult than expected.

"Are you alright?" David Villa stretched out his hand and pulled Elo up and asked with concern.
Iroh rubbed the heel of his left foot, which was still a little sore, and said, "It's okay, it's hard." β
David Villa relieved himself when he heard that it was just a bruise, and patted Iroh on the shoulder: "Be careful. β
The referee did not give a yellow card to the foul Mascherano, and Valencia coach Carlo Ancelotti was very upset, and he turned to the fourth official on the sidelines to complain and press.
This scene was captured by the live broadcaster, so BBC commentator Lineker said: "Obviously, Valencia manager Carlo Ancelotti is very unhappy with Barcelona defender Mascherano not receiving a yellow card for this foul. β
"This is natural, from the slow-motion replay just now, it can be clearly seen that Mascherano is completely aimed at Ai himself, and there is a reason why Ancelotti is angry!" Commentator Phil said.
"Argentine captain Javier Mascherano wants to give Ai a horse at the Camp Nou, I think he must have used the wrong method, with what I know about Ai, this method will not make him honest, but will stimulate his hidden fighting spirit!" Lineker said.
Indeed, Iroh did not back down in the following games, but frequently asked his teammates for the ball.
Mascherano has been blacklisted by the referee because of the opening kick-off, so that the next defensive action of Iello does not dare to be too big.
Coupled with the fact that Valencia's midfield possession was no worse than Barcelona's, they quickly exploited Mascherano as an anti-opponent and organized an effective attack a minute later.
The football shifted from the right to the middle and then to the left, and Elo, who was equivalent to a free man in the front court, received a direct pass from David Silva in the middle of the attack on the left rib about 35 meters from the goal, and did not pass the ball back in the face of Mascherano's close defense, but gently pulled the ball to the left with the arch of his right foot, and the powerful explosive power was fully reflected at the moment of turning.
Iroh wiped it against Mascherano!
Loud boos erupted from the stands, hoping to distract Iroh with the ball.
Shaking off Mascherano, Iello took the ball a step forward and struck directly with his right foot.
Busquets, who assisted in the defense in the middle, did not dare to slack off, and out of an instinctive reaction of his body, he sent the whole person out and fell to the ground to block.
As a result, Iroh picked the ball up on his toes, and David Villa, who retreated to receive it, arched his right foot and gently headed the ball in the direction of Iro.
Iroh picked up his right foot from about 30 meters in front of the goal and shot straight away!
Fortunately, ValdΓ©s was very focused, and his sideways block saved the ball off the line.
There was also a huge exclamation in the sky above Camp Nou, because the scene just now was too thrilling!
Valencia played a wonderful attack, which made the Valencia fans who came with the team excited.
Isn't Barcelona known as the number one in possession?
Why is it that it is Valencia who takes the initiative in the first two minutes of the game?
As the slow-motion replay continued, Valencia No. 1 Stadium commentator Hyde exclaimed, "What is Barcelona? We're here, so you should be caught! This season's league title has to be Valencia!! β
Countless Valencia fans sitting in front of the TV silently recited "That's right, this season's league title is none other than Valencia!" β

Elo's shot that threatened the Barcelona goal this time led Valencia's overall attack and also gave confidence to his team-mates.
As the game wore on, apart from the hesitation of Mathieu on the left, teenager Cesar Azpilicueta's assist was noticeably bolder, and in the first five minutes of the game it was even mistaken for a right winger rather than a right-back.
Young people are fearless.
Looking at the decent Mathieu, Ancelotti seemed to regret a little that he did not send Alba, who had the more ability to assist.
However, when it comes to Mathieu's defensive ability, regret is left behind, and it is impossible to be in attack forever in the face of a team of Barcelona's level, and there will always be times when there will be defense, and it is good to have a reassuring left-back.
Pep Guardiola, who was standing on the sidelines, had already seen Mascherano's hesitation, so he made a gesture to the other midfielder Buscherano, signaling Busquets and Mascherano to make a position switch, with Busquets being responsible for marking Airo, and Mascherano protecting and transferring in the middle.
This position is no stranger to Mascherano, whose job in the Argentine national team is to switch between attack and defence.
Pep Guardiola's ideas are good, but the actual effect is not up to him, and Elo's super personal ability cannot be limited by Busquets.
On the contrary, in the eighth minute of the game, Busquets had to choose a side-to-back tackle because Iroh turned and accelerated to face the entire backline, kicking Iroh to the ground.
The move almost led to the first clash between the two sides, with the Valencia players believing that Barcelona's style of play was too rough, first with Mascherano's deliberate kick from behind at the beginning of the game, and now with Sergio Busquets' tackle from behind.
And the players targeted are all Aelo, which can make Valencia's players on the field very dissatisfied.
Even though David Villa, David Silva and Sergio Busquets were team-mates in the national team, the foul also made them look anxious.
David Silva even excitedly asked Busquets if he couldn't afford to lose.
Captain Puyol was not happy when he heard this, how could he not afford to lose when the game had just begun?
As a result, there was a verbal altercation between the two sides of the game, and more and more people joined in, but the referee Tekira reacted very quickly, pulling the emotional David Silva aside and dispersing the players from both sides.
Referee Traci did not hesitate to be fouled by Busquets, and showed a yellow card to Busquets, who was fouled on the side, as a warning.
Similarly, the emotionally charged David Silva was booked.
For the referee's decision, the away Valencia players are still very dissatisfied, Busquets's side back tackle is a dangerous action clearly stipulated in the football rules, at least give a red card, right?
Therefore, some players in Valencia thought that the referee deliberately favored the home team, so there were more and more conflicts in the following games, and the smell of gunpowder was full.
In the 16th minute, Barcelona switched from defense to attack, Xavi passed directly to Messi in the backfield, but the latter did not stop the ball, and Mathieu, who retreated, threw his body directly when he saw the opportunity, and tackled the ball with others.
As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, the players on both sides naturally gathered around and were about to fight.
Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor shouted: "This is the real national derby!" β
