Chapter 15 Red Card(1/2)

()

In the last fifteen minutes of the game, the two sides began a back-and-forth battle.

This also brought the Lopela Stadium to a new climax. The cheers and applause from the fans in the stands were one after another, which was very lively.

Betis's team Miroslav Korhan inserted a powerful long shot, and Rivaldo returned a cold shot outside the penalty area!

Figo broke through the side of the Barcelona side, and Cruivet, who assisted the middle, gave a header. Finidi George also used a cross from almost the same position to create a header for Oli in the middle!

Unfortunately, although the scene on the field is beautiful, the score has not been rewritten for a long time.

This situation is obviously very unfavorable to the Betis team, who is still one goal behind.

Seeing the passage of time, Hiddink couldn't help but walk to the sidelines, waved his hand and signaled the team to push forward with all their might!

At this time, losing one ball is a loss, and losing two balls is a loss. It is better to take a gamble, maybe you can even tie the score!

For a momentum, Betis really made a big splash.

Moreover, they did not attack blindly. Instead, they did a good job of combining sides and middle according to their arrangement during the intermission.

It was a while on the side and a while on the middle, and Barcelona was very embarrassed.

Faced with this situation, Van Gaal, who had been sitting firmly on Diaoyutai before, could no longer sit still. He kept walking to the sidelines and directing the team's defense.

Even Van Gaal, who has always paid attention to offense, is already considering whether to replace a defensive player and defend the last ten minutes.

However, when his eyes swept across the bench, he gave up the idea.

Now, what the team needs to add the most is the defense thickness of the midfield. However, on the bench behind him, except for two defenders and one goalkeeper, all the midfield offensive players are.

Guardiola, the main midfielder, was injured. The Frenchman De Hu, who can play as a defender and play as a guest midfielder, was completely shot into the cold palace because of a fall with him.

He has put several other midfielders with defensive abilities on the court.

So, even if he is determined to defend at this time, no one can change it. What's more, as a typical Dutch coach, Van Gaal advocates beautiful football. In such an ordinary league game, facing a relegation team, he can't let go of the defender at the last moment!

Just as Van Gaal was hesitating, Betis made another extremely threatening attack.

After receiving Pablonno's sideline, Denilson rushed directly toward the bottom line.

After a series of dazzling fake moves, Denilson finally got rid of the defense and came to the bottom line.

This time, Denilson did not continue to stick to the ball, but instead swept the ball directly to the middle before the ball went out of the baseline!

Denilson did not adopt the traditional cross-footing technique for this ball, but instead used force to draw the ball into the middle like a volley.

The effect of this footing method is that the ball is very fast and is a half-high ball.

Anyone who touches the goal may score a goal.

Therefore, when facing such a ball, many defenders will be concerned.

However, Barcelona's Dutch central defender Frank Debord seemed very brave.

He had been sticking to Alfonso's side, and when he saw Alfonso was about to be in line, he gritted his teeth and stretched out his legs and kicked the ball first.

After the ball touched Debor's foot, it changed slightly.

This made Alfonso, who had already encircled, and Oli, who had encircled the back point, make a mistake in judgment. No one touched the ball.

In the end, the ball missed the far post.

The ball really made the Barcelona people sweat in a cold sweat, while the Betis could only sigh with regret!

Side-side!

Tang Feng had already rushed to the sideline and was about to cheer. As a result, his arms raised could only put them down in disappointment.

Hiddink and his assistants were also very depressed.

In front of another coach's seat, Van Gaal breathed a sigh of relief.

On the field!

Barcelona goalkeeper Hesp gave DeBor, who had almost scored an own goal just now, comforting him a few words.

Frank Debord seemed very calm. He did not celebrate, but instead directed his teammates to prepare for corner kicks.

At this time, the game had been going on for 86 minutes, and there were not many opportunities left for Betis. So, facing this corner kick opportunity, a group of big men from Betis came to Barcelona's penalty area.

Philippescu, Vidakovic, Miroslav Colhan, Oli, and even winger Finidi George are big men over 1.85 meters tall. And Barcelona really has no advantage in height.

Rivaldo and Cruivit in the frontcourt both had to return to the penalty area to participate in the defense.

Even so, the air supremacy in Barcelona's penalty area was still controlled by Betis.

At this time, almost everyone in the Lopela stadium was focused on Denilson, who took the corner kick.

The Betis hopes that Denilson's corner kick can accurately find his teammates in the penalty area, thereby helping his teammates complete a fatal blow!

The Barcelona people hope that the corner kick that Denilsen sent was controlled by the Barcelona players and then broke out of the penalty area.

Finally, after a run-up, Denilson sent this corner kick.

The quality of this corner kick is very high. After the ball drew a clear arc in the air, it began to fall in the middle of the penalty area and found the central defender Vidakovic!

Vadakovic gained an absolute advantage in the competition with Koku, jumped high, and then hit the goal with a head-on attack!

This time the header was also very beautiful and flew straight to the near corner of the goal!

Hesp in front of the goal had no time to react when facing such a header that was close to him.

Just as the Betis was about to cheer, he found a Barcelona player standing next to the goal post.

This person is Barcelona's left-back Sergi. Since he is less than 1.7 meters tall, he did not participate in the defense of high-altitude balls, but chose to stand on the post.

Facing Vadkovic's header, Espanyol showed his excellent reaction and bounce.

I saw him jump up with all his strength, and then he pushed the ball out with force with his waist and abdomen.

Vadakovic's header was not small, and Sergi's force, the ball flew far out of the penalty area.

Oh, another huge sigh came from the stands.

"Oh no, it's a pity! Vidakovic may enter if he is a little taller!" The commentator on the scene said very regretfully.

In fact, Vidakovic is also regretting why he didn't stand a little taller, otherwise with Sergi's height, no matter how good he jumped, it would probably not be able to reach it. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world!

Tang Feng on the sidelines was also depressed and stamped his feet.

Soon, he realized something was wrong again. After the ball flew out of the penalty area, it fell directly to Figo, who was staying behind outside the penalty area and preparing to counterattack.

"Oh no!" Tang Feng couldn't help but exclaim.

Hiddink, who was standing not far from Tang Feng, obviously realized this, and he was also very anxious.

"Return to defense! Return to defense! Stop the Portuguese and don't let him rush up!" Tang Feng shouted immediately into the field.

At this time, Betis came back from his depression and discovered the crisis.

It is obviously too late for Betis, who is still in Barcelona's penalty area, to return to defense against the defensive players.

Fortunately, Betis still has two full-backs, Outro and Crosa, on the back line.

Seeing Figo sprinting towards the frontcourt with the ball, left-back Crosa rushed towards the Portuguese without hesitation.

Although he has not experienced the 2000 European Cup and transferred to Real Madrid at the world's first place, he is not as famous as he will in the future. However, in La Liga, he has long been recognized as the number one right wing.

Therefore, Crosa seemed very cautious when rushing to Figo.

As a representative of the European Latin Portugal team, although Figo's skills under his feet are not as fancy as De Nelson, they are also very gorgeous. Crosa dare not rush to grab it.

However, Crosa's caution and hesitation gave Figo a chance!

Figo slowed down slightly, as if he wanted to use his foot skills to break through Crosa.

But when Crosa just lowered its center of gravity and was about to meet Figo's fake move, Figo unreasonably drove the ball forward and then accelerated directly, passing by Crosa!

Speed ​​up eating raw!

Such a domineering breakthrough method is the favorite thing for speed players like Carlos.

This time Figo used it very cleverly. Although his speed was not as fast as him, the previous poor rhythm had already made him seize the opportunity. Crosa didn't even have time to make a foul!

There was also a burst of exclamation in the stands at Lopela Stadium.

Tang Feng on the sidelines was also shocked. He knew what it meant to be so broken through to Figo.

This is the best right wing in the world football world, but rarely fails in one-on-one situations.

Just when all the Betis people were desperate, at the last barrier between Figo and Betis goalkeeper, the right guard Otero, who was staying in the backcourt, rushed towards Figo.

He almost didn't look at the ball that was struck by Figo, but instead made a slippery tackle directly at Figo.

Without any suspense, Figo was heavily knocked to the ground by Otero!

Dou! Dou! Dou! A sharp and rapid whistle sounded. The referee rushed to the place where he returned, then inserted his right hand into his pocket on his chest, and showed a... red card!

It seemed that he had known the outcome of what he did this. Otero didn't even look at the referee, but turned around and walked towards the player's passage.

What does it mean to make things worse?

When the game was about to enter injury stoppage time soon, the team was still one goal behind and another player was sent off, which would play more with less!
