Chapter 170: The central defender is sent off
The match is at the home of RCD Espanyol.
The stadium with a capacity of 40,000 seats has 19,000 fans, and the attendance rate is not too high, and it is only moderate compared to historical figures.
Soon, Espanyol played against Sevilla.
Although Mourinho was in the coach's box, he crossed his arms and looked indifferent.
The squad wasn't arranged by him, the tactics weren't arranged by him, and he was still here just to earn those euros.
If the euro is too small, he will not bother to do so.
But Gao Hong gave too many euros.
Therefore, the pride and dignity of a handsome man can now be thrown aside.
Gao Hong stayed alone in a box next to the arena at this time, looking at the virtual mobile phone screen in front of him with a serious expression.
The strength of this squad is lower than that of Sevilla, probably only about 70% of the opponent.
However, with this set of virtual matches against Sevilla, he has played more than a hundred games these days.
Later, he used his exquisite operation to make up for the gap in the combat power of the two sides, and he was already able to defeat the opponent by at least one goal in more than a dozen consecutive games.
But those are all virtual races, today is different, today is a real race.
Just like students in the third year of high school taking the college entrance examination, no matter how many mock exams are usually taken, no matter how good they are, it is useless, and the only thing that ultimately determines their fate is the college entrance examination.
On the football field, it is not only strength that determines the outcome of the game, but also factors such as luck and referees.
Even if they win more than a dozen games in a row in a virtual match, there is no guarantee that Espanyol will be able to beat Sevilla today.
……
The referee blew the whistle and the game officially began.
Sevilla kicked off first in the centre circle and found that Espanyol did not field the high-priced players they bought, and they went all out to win the ball and launched an onslaught on Espanyol from the start.
Even in the front court, he launched a press, and after getting the ball, he crossed and shot from a distance, which made the Espanyol team in front of the goal.
Gao Hong has experienced this scene many times in the virtual game, and he coped with it calmly at this time, defusing the Sevilla team's offensive one by one, and then looking for opportunities to counterattack.
Sevilla pressed Espanyol for more than 30 minutes without results, but they did not give up, still attacking again and again, and the ball was once again in the Espanyol penalty area.
A Sevilla midfielder found a shot near the line of the box, but it was difficult to score due to the large number of players in the box, and the Espanyol goalkeeper was on target, and even if the ball was shot into the goal, it was impossible to get in.
However, an unexpected scene happened.
One of Espanyol's centre-backs reached for the ball in a very stealthy motion before feigning to fall to the ground.
The referee immediately blew the whistle, showed the centre-back a yellow card and pointed to the penalty spot.
The central defender who blocked the ball with his hand hurriedly rushed over to explain to the referee that he didn't mean it just now, but when he rushed over, he didn't know what he tripped under his feet, and his body stumbled forward, but his hand was pushed on the referee's body violently.
The referee was furious and immediately took out another yellow card, two yellows and one red, and sent the Spaniard's central defender off the field.
This change immediately caused an uproar among the Espanyol fans in the stands.
Gao Hong spent more than a billion euros to build such a team? The opening has been very passive until now, and now he has been sent off as a central defender and a penalty has been created by the opponent!
Looks like the first game of the second half of the season is about to be lost?
Mourinho sneered on his face, after Gao Hong forcibly stripped him of the command of the team, he waited for this moment, waiting to see the Espanyol team being beaten by their opponents.
There is also a voice of ridicule on the domestic Internet.
Gao Hong is so embarrassed! Spent more than a billion euros to get such a result?
Gao Hong's face in the box was a little ugly, but his expression was still relatively calm.
In more than 100 virtual matches against Serbia, he has encountered all kinds of situations, players have been sent off, one goal down, or even two, and in the end, he has relied on his own clever maneuvering to win.
Now the first thing he has to do is to hold on to the penalty.
For Gao Hong, the penalty kick can also be controlled, he can control the direction of the goalkeeper's pounce, even whether it is above or below the net.
Gao Hong is also familiar with Sevilla, the player who takes penalties, and knows that he is used to the right side of the penalty goal.
But whether he can save or not depends on luck, even if he is used to the bottom right of the penalty goal, it is not ruled out that he suddenly sends to the left side of the goal, or even kicks straight to the middle.
In this matter, Gao Hong can only gamble.
Soon the penalty taker stood on the penalty spot, Gao Hong looked into the eyes of the player, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly changed his mind and decided to save the bottom left of the goal.
When the player took the penalty before, there was a subtle difference between the left side of the penalty and the right side of the penalty, and Gao Hong carefully observed it.
The penalty taker took a few steps and pretended to kick to the right, but his foot changed direction in an instant, picked up his foot and kicked the ball to the left side of the goal!
Gao Hong manipulated the goalkeeper and pounced to the left.
Unfortunately, the player's foot changed direction in the air and he didn't get a good grasp of it, and kicked the ball to the left into the middle of the goal.
The ball went in.
"Damn!" Gao Hong was so angry that he wanted to drop his phone...... Anyway, the virtual phone can't be broken.
The opening is very unfavorable! Sent off as a centre-back and awarded a penalty, it's going to be hard to play in the back.
Gao Hong calmed down and informed the on-site coach to change the formation to 333.
There is no way, he has to ensure the attack power in the front court, so he has to take risks.
Otherwise, the midfielder will be replaced, and the attack of the midfielder will be seriously affected.
"That's nonsense! If it were me, I would replace Wu Lei and replace a central defender. Mourinho said to the assistant coach next to him, and the camera at the scene also happened to capture this scene, and the football commentator hurriedly helped to read his lip language.
There are also all kinds of ridicule on the Internet, inviting a famous coach but not using it, blindly commanding by himself, obviously playing a bad game, the first game looks like it will be lost, all kinds of schadenfreude.
Gao Hong was completely enraged.
He played conservatively in the first half, and if it wasn't for this stupid mistake made by the centre-back, everything would have been under his control, and soon he would have been on a massive counter-attack.
But the current situation does not affect his counteroffensive.
It's time for everyone to see how big brother is soccer!
