Chapter 58: Unscrupulous means
Two days later, the Spanish capital of Madrid was crowded with people at the CalderΓ³n Stadium.
The 54,000-seat football stadium resembles a rectangular rice cooker painted with red and white stripes. It's not very old, it was officially inaugurated in 1966, but it's still world-famous as the home of La Liga's long-standing powerhouse, Atletico Madrid.
However, with Atletico relegated to La Liga last year, it's been a long time since it was as full as it is today.
Chen Mo, who was wearing a down jacket, sat on the bench, his collar covering his lips, and his eyes were staring at the players running around the field, looking a little anxious.
He glanced at the scoreboard, 68 minutes, the score was 2:1, Sevilla 2.
"Twenty minutes left before the game is over, we have to hurry up and score a goal!"
Although he was mentally prepared to sit on the cold board before coming, at this time, the game was about to end and the team was about to lose, Chen Mo was still a little anxious.
At this moment, the situation on the field changed abruptly, Sevilla defender Ramos passed the ball back to the goalkeeper, and at the same time, Pullie answered, and Barcelona center Garcia pressed the goalkeeper. This kind of ball is usually a passing scene, and it is difficult to grab the ball from the goalkeeper, but the Sevilla goalkeeper did not choose to play the ball at the first time, he hesitated, and at this time Garcia was already pressed in front of him!
"Chance!"
The players on the bench all stood up, coach Joseph also stuck his head out to watch, and the Sevilla goalkeeper kicked the ball in a hurry, but the ball did not go far, and fell directly at the feet of the unmarked Barcelona midfielder Raiko in front of the center circle!
"Pass!"
Garcia immediately beckoned and shouted, he was alone in the penalty area at this time facing the goalkeeper, and several Sevilla defenders were on the bottom line or on the side in order to receive the goalkeeper's pass, like open five fingers. The defence was too late to catch up, and it also caused him to be out of an offside position.
As long as you take the ball, you are facing the goalkeeper single-handedly!
The crowd on the sidelines stood up, but at this moment, Raiko made a move that everyone expected, he did not choose to play the ball first after stopping the ball on his chest, but slammed forward with the ball, running down the middle towards the penalty area like a bison.
"Oh, what is this guy doing?!"
"Oh my God! The Sevilla defenders shrink very quickly, it's over! β
"Why don't you pass the ball?!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw Raiko running wildly, and as expected, when Riko took the ball to the top of the penalty area, Sevilla's defense had already contracted and there was no room for a single ball. Raiko was in a hurry and fired a long-range shot directly from the edge of the box, and the ball hit Ramos's side calf and bounced off the bottom line.
The great opportunity was wasted like this, Joseph waved his palm angrily, and turned his head to look at Chen Mo: "Go warm up and get ready to play!" β
Finally able to play!
Chen Mo looked very excited, took off his down jacket, teased his teammates, and ran to the sidelines to start warming up.
This scene was keenly captured by Ramos, who was defending a corner kick in the box.
"Trouble!"
Ramos, who had just high-fived his teammates with ease, frowned deeply, and there were still some loose back molars on the top of his tongue, he knew how strong Chen Mo was, and he also knew how much a change a powerful midfield commander would bring to Barcelona, which is now a good striker but weak midfield.
There was a headache, and then he saw Raiko whose face was full of fear and was still stunned, he rolled his eyes and signaled to his teammates to change the defense, and then walked to Raiko, who was still a little stunned, staring at the corner, and whispered in his ear: "Hey, look at the sidelines, you're going to be replaced, it seems that the coach is extremely disappointed in you." But this is also normal, you can't compare with the guy who is warming up, one is a genius who was pursued by clubs all over the world at the age of 14, and the other is a garbage who is facing elimination from the football world at the age of 19, tsk, it's pitiful. Have you figured out what you want to do in the future? I have studied you, born in a slum, and your mother was a street girl. It's not easy to mix in Europe without a background, oh wait, maybe you'll become a sewer worker? Haha, the female sewer worker on the street is actually quite ... Yes! β
"Shut up, ahhh!!!h
Raiko's angry elbow swung Ramos's face, it hurt, but Ramos was ecstatic, and he covered his face and lay in the penalty area, and the players on both sides were in a mess!
"Hmmββββ"
"Oh my God! Barcelona midfielder Raiko suddenly lost control of his emotions and elbowed Sevilla central defender Ramos! The referee has already run over, director, let's see in slow motion, what the hell is going on! β
The audience on the sidelines were stunned, the voice of the commentator resounded throughout the audience, and after a while, slow motion appeared on the big screen in the corner of the stadium.
In the eyes of everyone, Raiko seemed to have gone crazy suddenly, and swung his elbow vigorously at Ramos's face who was hiding behind him!
"I don't know what happened, but it's definitely a red card! Oh my God, Raiko is too impulsive! β
"I felt Ramos' lips move, probably trash-talking."
"No matter what you say, there is no doubt that this action is a red card."
The commentator's voice flew on the field, and sure enough, the referee showed Raiko a red card.
Raico was stunned, looked panicked and kept pointing at Ramos to explain, but the referee didn't listen, he collapsed, the corners of his mouth continued to twist and fall, and he ran off the field crying.
Chen Mo stood not far away to warm up, everything just now was in his view, glanced at Raiko who roared and rushed into the players' tunnel, and then at Ramos who smiled smugly at him, with an extra layer of frost under his eyes.
Raiko's red card disrupted Joseph's plan, and while the team doctor was examining Ramos's wounds, he called Messi Chen Mo and captain Garcia to his side, took out the tactical board and kept drawing: "Garcia, wait for us to change the formation, let Diga and Zoffe play double midfield, Xiao Mo, go up and play the core of the midfield." Leon, you and Garcia are paired as two strikers, he is the arrow, and you move in the area behind him! Garcia, you're tasked with being the fulcrum of the frontcourt, and these two little guys are either attracting the defense or doing the wall when they get forward, got it? β
"Got it!"
"Understood, Mr. Joseph!"
All three nodded, and Joseph nodded and put away the tactical board: "Very good, we have to win this first game!" Also, Xiao Mo, the most critical point of this formation lies in you, we are 433 into 432, and the three forwards have become two, which will inevitably lead to a drop in firepower, so I not only need you to clear the front and back courts, but also need you a lot! Frequent! Effective front insertion! See what I mean?! β
Joseph's palm cut the air like a knife, and his speech was fast, Chen took a deep breath and said seriously: "Leave it to me, Mr. Joseph." β
"Very good, get ready to play, let these U19 guys see how good you are!"
