Chapter 18: Portillo
In the second half, the Spaniards, who were playing at home with a strong Getafe, were almost out of breath, and wave after wave of attacks created a lot of danger in the Espanyol penalty area.
In the 61st minute, Portillo instigated an attack in the midfield, all the way forward, and Espanyol defender Ermerso stepped forward to defend, intending to use his excellent tackling ability to intercept Portillo head-on, but he was worried about the defense in the penalty area and was afraid of being broken by Portillo, so he left a little distance.
Portillo's eyes are playful, and now the situation is for them, and it is a matter of time before they score another goal, so now Portillo is very relaxed, facing Elmerso, and squirting a trash word thoughtfully: "The 2-0 lead at home in the first round of the league was reversed, and it was humiliating." Ermerso ignored the trash talk, calmly controlled the distance from Portillo, waited for Semedo to settle behind him, and then stretched out his foot to steal.
Portillo calmly knocked the ball sideways when Elmerso was in front of him, and immediately stepped forward after the ball was released.
After Moreau behind Portillo won the ball, Semedo quickly moved towards his position, and Moro observed Antunes in front of the left as soon as he got the ball, and he cut into the ribs of the penalty area quickly after he got the ball.
Rosales was right behind Antunes, and Antunes, who cut inside, used his body to block Rosales and keep Rosales on the outside, with no way to interfere with his catch.
Antunes received a pass from Moreau and Luis quickly came to him in the box, while goalkeeper Diego also moved quickly towards the near post.
Antunes did not choose to pass the ball this time, although now Mata, Portillo and others are in the box, but this time, Antunes opted to shoot directly on goal.
Antunes opted to hit the near corner, he was going to push it towards the far post, but he had no choice but to shoot the ball straight into the arms of Diego, who was in place early.
Antunes slapped the grass with his hands in frustration, clearly unhappy with his own shot.
Hu Xuefei watched Getafe play a delicate pass and cut through the area outside his penalty area, and suddenly, his anger rose, and he shouted from the sidelines, asking his players to concentrate on defense.
Hu Xuefei summoned Rosales, who was about to send a sideline ball, and said: "Call our midfield defense fierce, they don't have cards on them yet, why do they have to be so soft, are they embroidering?" Give me orders, be tough, be fierce. ”
Hu Xuefei's advice is obviously effective, after the midfield defense increased the number of fouls, the attack that could threaten the Espanyol penalty area began to slowly decrease at this time, and more returned to the midfield to fight for the ball.
With the game on 67 minutes, Getafe continued to threaten down the left and the Spaniards responded with a stronger defence.
Antunes failed to score with several assists and shots, which made him very depressed, and his mood was even more hopeful that he could let the team score by himself. As a result, Antunes became the key figure in Getafe's attack during the first and second halves of the opening period.
After Antunes and Markle collided with the wall, they rushed directly to the bottom line, this time Antunes was ready to cross directly, Antunes just regained control of the ball, Rosales directly made a flying tackle, Antunes originally planned to control the ball and cross directly, Rosales's flying tackle made his cross die in the stomach.
Rosales's tackle even left the ball in place, such a ferocious tackle, this time the referee did not blow the penalty.
Lying on the ground and still waiting for the whistle, Antunes did not hear the sound he was expecting, but the sound of a strong wind blowing in his ears.
Rosales also thought that this time he would be punished with a yellow card by the referee who played the card without mercy, but he did not expect that when he got up and controlled the ball, the referee signaled that there was no foul and the game continued.
Rosales looked happy, and he didn't care about Antunes, who was lying pretending to be dead, he knew in his heart that when he put the shovel, he had already retracted his legs, and Antunes' fall was just the result of inertia. The referee didn't blow the penalty, and Rosales took the ball directly and prepared to counterattack.
Getafe's team thought it was a foul and waited for the whistle to blow and did not return in time.
It wasn't until Portillo stopped Granero's dribbling that the whistle finally came.
However, it was not for the Spaniard, but for Getafe, and when Granero received a pass from Rosales and was about to pass to Iglesias, who was running in front, Portillo tackled him directly.
Portillo didn't wait for the whistle he expected, and when he saw the Spaniards launch a quick counterattack, his head was hot, and he didn't care about it, and he directly faced Granero is a flying tackle.
"Beep!!" The referee immediately came to the scene of the accident, and after confirming whether Granero was injured, he waved to the medical staff of the Spaniards on the sidelines and hurried up.
After the foul, the players of both teams immediately surrounded the place of the accident. The Spaniard's players are hoping that the referee will give Portillo a yellow card, while the Getafe players are complaining about a foul on Rosales.
The two sides were talking about different issues, and the discussion was centered on getting the opposing player a Topaz card.
After seeing that Granero was not injured by Portillo's brainless behavior, the referee approached Portillo and pulled his Topaz card from his jacket pocket.
"Europe!! Referee Gonzalez gave Getafe's No.10 player Portillo a yellow card, and you must remember that in the first half, Portillo already had a yellow card, and this was his second yellow card. Torres screamed with joy when he saw the referee take a yellow card out of his pocket.
"Now it's going to be a 10-on-10 game for both Espanyol and Getafe, and now Espanyol doesn't have a numerical disadvantage." Torres said what Espanyol fans loved to hear.
When Portillo and Getafe's players complained and complained to no avail, the Espanyol fans at the scene rejoiced, sang their team anthem, and sent Portillo off with the loudest singing.
"Chopper, did he also get two yellow cards?" When Hu Xuefei saw the referee take out a yellow card, he asked the assistant coach next to him, Chopper.
Chopper was also stupid when he saw this scene, he didn't expect that with a lead of one person, Portillo would brainlessly turn his yellow card into a red card.
"Seems like yes, Hu."
Hu Xuefei watched Portillo walk towards the player's tunnel step by step, today's player's tunnel greeted two players during the game, it was a devil's tunnel.
Portillo went from Hu Xuefei's sight step by step, from a player on the field to an off-field person. Hu Xuefei's expression also changed little by little with Portillo's pace.
Incredulous, a little surprised, excited, and finally ecstatic.
While Portillo had not yet entered the players' tunnel, Hu Xuefei used all his strength and shouted to the players on the field: "Give me an attack, attack with all your strength, and give me a 'hammer' to kill them!" ”
Hu Xuefei's shouting clearly walked into Portillo's ears, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out of his heart, depressed, why are he so stupid!
