Chapter 88: Don't lose

When Aimar fell to the ground, Chang Sheng raised his arms and cheered, thinking it was a penalty. ////

But soon he realized that he was thinking too beautifully.

The referee signaled that it was not a penalty and let Aimar, who had fallen to the ground, get up.

Aimar was about to wait for a penalty, but when he spotted the referee's gesture, he rolled over in anger and yelled at the referee: "He's fouled!" He knocked me down! ”

The rest of Valencia's players also surrounded them.

Captain Mendieta yelled at the referee: "It's a penalty!" Undoubtedly, it's a penalty! ”

The referee didn't manage it, but only signaled to Valencia to take a corner.

Campo knocked Aimar down and knocked the ball off the line and gave Valencia a corner.

Valencia don't want any corners, they want a penalty!

A crowd surrounded the referee, protesting and pressuring him.

There was a burst of boos in the stands, and of course this boo was not for the referee - this is Real Madrid's home stadium, and this decision is strong for the home team, so Real Madrid fans are not so brainless to boo the referee.

They booed the Valencia players.

※※※

When there was chaos on the court, Chang Sheng also roared on the sidelines.

"Your uncle!"

Then he remembered that Spain did not understand this sentence, so he shouted to the pitch: "Shame! Ugly! ”

The fourth official heard his voice and stepped forward to warn Chang Sheng.

"Mr. Chang, please pay attention to your words, I don't think you want to direct the rest of the game from the stands, right?"

Chang Sheng glared at the other party fiercely, and was told by the other party that he really couldn't command this game from the stands. Because if he wants to win, he has to stay in the dugout. If he goes to the stands, then the team is bound to collapse.

To be sent off with a red card is to run away.

So he suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth and smiled, "Of course, I will pay attention, I will be very, very, very ...... Attentive! ”

Every time he said "very", he pushed it hard, and in the end he almost crushed his teeth.

※※※

Valencia didn't end up allowing the referee to change the decision - of course, and it's rare for the referee to change it after the decision has been made.

As referees, perhaps the first lesson they take in referee training is how to assert their authority.

Not being able to change your decision at will must be the most important thing.

Because a referee who sways from side to side and has no opinions of his own will not have any authority at all, they will not get the respect and trust of the players, and the players will only feel that such referees are unreliable.

The Valencia players protested to no avail and had to run for a corner.

But who wants this corner?

So the corners didn't pose a threat to Real Madrid's goal at all.

Commentator Moen shook his head and sighed as he commented on the game, saying that Valencia's luck in this game was really bad.

Later, Campo's defense was also given several times in the live broadcast of the game, and the slow motion clearly showed that Campo had hit Aimar before kicking the ball, and the most important thing was that he had a hard push movement on the arm that touched Aimar.

It was this action that caused Aimar to finally fall to the ground.

So it's really a foul.

But alas, the referee didn't see it.

What would have happened if the foul had been awarded a penalty and scored?

No one knows.

But now they all know what the game has become after the penalty has been ignored......

※※※

Valencia, whose penalty was not awarded, suffered a heavy blow to morale.

It was originally an away game, and it must be won, and the pressure can be imagined. If this penalty can be awarded, the pressure on the Valencia players can be relieved.

But the penalty was not awarded!

This adds insult to injury and makes them even more stressed.

Because they've already felt how hard it is to play away from home......

The shadow of failure has always hung over their hearts.

Morale is getting lower and lower.

In the end, he was simply beaten by Real Madrid.

In the 31st minute, the goal was finally lost.

Zidane's powerful shot from outside the box bounced off after being saved by Canizares.

Then Raul, who was following up, cleverly grabbed the spot and scored successfully.

In fact, from before Zida's goal, the Bernabeu stadium resounded with continuous cheers. Because Real Madrid's previous series of passing combinations were pleasing to the eye, especially the one when Zidane used Marseille to get past Albelda.

Finally, when Raul hit the shot, the cheers finally reached the most.

There was only one sound in the entire Bernabeu stadium, and that was the cheers of the Real Madrid fans.

Other than that, nothing.

※※※

Seeing Raul put the football into the goal, Florentino couldn't help but stand up on the rostrum and cheer and applaud the goal.

Obviously, he was taking revenge on the original Valencia president Otti.

Ottie sat next to him, his face not very good-looking. He now feels Florentino's feelings, too.

Amid the bravassing cheers of the Bernabeu, his face grew darker and darker.

※※※

Chang Sheng's face is also not good-looking.

In fact, after the team did not award a penalty, he musically realized that this would happen. But there was nothing he could do about it.

Because this is the referee's mistake, if you want to adjust the mentality of the players, you can't just yell two words on the sidelines.

He needs a half-time break.

But Real Madrid didn't give him such a chance and now took the lead.

Chang Sheng bit his lip and decided to give up the idea of attacking Real Madrid for the time being, and turned to defense.

I've already conceded a goal, and no matter what, I can't concede any more goals.

After falling behind 0:1 in the first half, there was still a game to play. But if it's 0:2 down, then it will be difficult to play in the second half. Because they couldn't keep the players motivated at half-time.

Everyone knows that their opponent is Real Madrid, not just a cat or a dog.

While the Real Madrid players were still celebrating their lead, the decision was made.

He called over to his captain, Mendieta, and told him to come on and tell the players.

"Defensively. Hold on to the goal first, don't let Real Madrid continue to score. ”

"When?" Mendieta asked.

"Just stay until halftime!"

Mendieta nodded, "I see." ”

With that, he turned and ran onto the pitch to tell the other players.

Chang Sheng, on the other hand, slowly squatted down and fell into deep thought.

※※※

When Valencia conceded the goal, Soler in front of the TV couldn't help but laugh.

Then he was scolded by the old mother who was watching the game next to him: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Soler hurriedly put on a poker face: "No, I just farted!" ”

"Humph!" The old mother snorted, ignored her son, and continued to watch the live TV, her brows furrowed, and her fists clenched worried about Valencia.

※※※

The first half summed up very simply, Valencia won a penalty, but the referee blew it away. Valencia were then beaten by Real Madrid and finally conceded the goal, and then they returned to defend and held on until the end of the first half.

Valencia's performance after conceding a goal in the first half will feel familiar to fans, because this is exactly what Cooper's Valencia played in the previous two seasons - defensive counter-attack.

They've stopped doing it since Victorious came.

Unexpectedly, under the offensive of Real Madrid, they finally had to choose to defend to the death.

This made Real Madrid fans feel very proud.

The commentator of Radio Marca was also smug: "This time it's the real Real Madrid!" This is the century-old giant! I think this game is bound to be a turning point for the whole season and a watershed moment in the race for the league title. Whoever wins is the league champion! ”

The reporters in the media table also talked a lot about this first half, and finally simply fought.

Journalists from the Madrid area and those from Valencia were divided, with journalists elsewhere playing soy sauce neutrally.

First of all, because the Madrid journalists who supported Real Madrid were cheering for Real Madrid's lead, and said that Real Madrid had taken the initiative into their own hands, and Valencia had only one way to lose this game.

Then a Valencia reporter retorted unconvinced, if the penalty had been awarded, the result would definitely not have been like this.

The Madrid journalist said that the penalty was judged by the referee, not by the journalist. Since the referee didn't think it was a penalty, it wasn't a penalty. So grasping this point and talking about things can only make people feel that Valencia can't afford to lose.

And so it did.

Journalists are originally people who play lip service, and they are the best at fighting verbal battles.

In the end, no one can convince anyone.

But Madrid reporters have the upper hand because Real Madrid, which they support, is now the leading side, and they are naturally more confident than Valencia.

On Valencia's side, because of the score behind, the reporters were inevitably a little anxious, and they fell into the other party's language trap several times.

In the end, it was the most respected journalist on Valencia's side, Juan Paimontoor, who pulled out to stop the pointless controversy.

"Football is not won by lip service, what is it, just watch the game. When the game is over, we'll know. Now there is no point in arguing about these. He dissuaded his own journalists from continuing to attack journalists in Madrid.

Hearing his words, the reporters in Valencia still looked at the Madrid reporters with disgruntled expressions, but no one was in trouble.

There was also a provocative remark from the Madrid reporter: "Yes, after the game is over, we will naturally know what Valencia will lose!" ”

Torra, who advised people not to argue, smiled and slapped him in the face!

The face of the other side changed immediately.

The reporters on Valencia's side also followed suit, laughing and stretching out their slaps.

Looking at the Madrid reporters on the opposite side with the expressions of eating flies, how cool it is!

It was the first time in this halftime debate that they had the upper hand, and one by one they admired Torrana even more. Ginger is still old and spicy...... Old Mr. Torla is out, one is enough!

The Madrid reporter was very upset after being humiliated by them in person.

Unfortunately, in the first round of the league, it is also true that they lost to Valencia by five goals away, just as it is a fact that Valencia is now one goal behind them.

So they could only swallow this breath raw, and at the same time put down the cruel words: "After the game, I look forward to your expressions!" ”

Torla still smiled slightly: "Stay tuned!" ”

Then the two groups of reporters dispersed.

Valencian reporters surrounded Torla and asked him about the situation in Valencia. After all, now Torla is a reporter with the team, and he knows more than any other reporter, and seeing that he is so confident, everyone thinks that he must know something inside.

Isn't there a killer feature for constant victory?

What kind of magical adjustments or substitutions will be made at halftime......

But to their disappointment, Torla shook his head: "No, guys. No. I don't know anything. ”

"Then when you faced those Madrid reporters...... one reporter asked.

"I just think that the two armies are facing each other, and we can't weaken our momentum first." Torla laughed.

Fortunately, it was Torla who said this, not anyone else, otherwise he would have been sprayed to death: "You don't have any dry goods, you say a**!" ”

But now, although everyone hesitates in their hearts, they have to praise Torla's demeanor on their faces.

When Torla was left alone, the gray-haired old reporter frowned.

He knows what those reporters are thinking, and I'm afraid they all have no bottom in their hearts. Because he doesn't know the bottom himself.

In the end, even if this game is lost, it will not affect Valencia's ranking.

But the cruel words of both sides have come out, and if they lose in the end, they are afraid that they will not be able to hang their faces.

Crucially, the Madrid journalists were right about one thing, and this game was a turning point, a watershed moment in the league.

Whoever wins will have a morale boost and a great chance of winning the league title. And if you lose......

Historically, it has not been the case of having the upper hand and losing a game like a mountain.

There is nothing unthinkable about what happened to Valencia.

He frowned and stared at the already empty court.

But don't lose, Chinese...... (To be continued.)
