Chapter 265

What can a red card change?When two evenly matched teams are at a stalemate, a single red card can destroy one of them, even one as strong as Chelsea.

Regardless of how Mourinho and Drogba yelled at the referee, they couldn't change the reality of the red card after all.

Moreover, the Swedish referee also showed Mourinho a yellow card as a warning because of his insults to him.

At that time, if Lampard hadn't held Lin Yi back, he probably would have kicked Frix hard from the side.

"A sudden accident may disrupt Chelsea's game rhythm. After all, Drogba is indeed too important to the team's offense. This may be a turning point in the game." When Lineker saw this scene He also knew that from this moment on, the game would no longer be controlled by Chelsea.

There is no strong enough fulcrum in the middle, even if Chelsea's two wings can find opportunities to pass the ball, it will not do much, and Drogba's sending off is not just a simple matter of team reduction .

This tense atmosphere will affect all Chelsea players. They will become impatient because of the referee's red card this time, especially Drogba's yellow card. In fact, a large factor is the subjective judgment of the referee.

In the slow motion replayed on TV, Drogba's foot touched the football one step ahead of Valdes, but the painful expression of the Barcelona goalkeeper deceived the referee's eyes, so the red card looked a bit wronged.

But Lineker is not the referee, and the Swede cannot change his judgment because of the slow motion of the TV replay. Even if it is wrong, then Chelsea can only admit that they are unlucky, and they can only say that they are unlucky. .

Drogba walked off the court with a depressed face. Mourinho patted him on the shoulder vigorously, but the African elephant didn't respond this time. He knew in his heart that the game might be messed up because of his red card. up.

Although Mourinho didn't say anything, he knew that if the team was in trouble, the responsibility was on him.

With a feeling of self-blame, Drogba returned to the locker room accompanied by Brito. What Mourinho and Chelsea have to face now is Barcelona, ​​which has seen the dawn of victory again. The game was originally balanced From this moment on, the scale of the game began to tilt, and the offensive firepower of the Red and Blue Army began to become more and more fierce.

What is unscrupulous, the current Barcelona's offense is unscrupulous, even Puyol began to press assists, and did not care about the defensive space behind him at all, even Marquez pressed near the center circle arc, but Chelsea now It was already impossible to reorganize an effective counterattack. Even if Lin Yi started to press crazily in the midfield, he could not provide much help to the team, but this kid's eyes were full of anger.

Shoveling, charging, Lin Yi didn't care how thin his body was, anyway, he now regarded himself as a pure midfield engineer, and his legs never stopped in the last 20 minutes.

If it wasn't for the controversy surrounding Drogba's red card just now, Lin Yi would have followed in that guy's footsteps. His crazy performance made Mourinho scream crazily on the sidelines.

Mourinho doesn't want to have any accidents with his playmaker. Now Drogba is doomed to not be able to participate in the next round of the game. If Lin Yi is missing, then Chelsea's offensive axis will be abolished up.

Lin Yi's crazy harassment only lasted for a while. After Mourinho yelled, Lin Yi finally calmed down. He also knew that if he played like this, he was giving the Swede a chance to send him off.

Snipe!All-out sniping!Mourinho kept roaring on the sidelines, and he directed the players to defend.

But there was no threat of a counterattack, and the Barcelona team pressed crazily. Even if Lin Yi tried his best, he couldn't provide more protection for his team's midfielder. Even Makelele's iron lung was almost exhausted.

Lampard has retreated to about 20 meters in front of his big penalty area as a midfielder. For Chelsea, this may be the first time this season. They have never been so embarrassed, but this time they have experienced it.

Thirteen to two. This is the ratio of shots taken by the two teams in the last 10 minutes of the game. Chelsea only took two shots, and they were all attacks by Lin Yi in the midfield. The threat formed in the end was very limited. .

Without Drogba's powerful frontcourt containment point, Mourinho's counterattack tactics have fallen into an unprecedented predicament, especially when the Barcelona people are attacking frantically, and the suppression is almost comprehensive.

Mourinho knew that the team had to stabilize at this time. He replaced Robben and Duff at the same time. defense.

It's not that Mourinho doesn't want to fight back, it's just that facing Barcelona's offense, he has to make a difficult choice.

He knows the character of the Catalans too well. When the opportunity arises, they will definitely attack until they break the opponent. Mourinho does not want to see his team become another victim .

Chelsea's defense is very strong, but don't forget that Makelele and Lin Yi are both carrying yellow cards. If one is accidentally sent off, or two or three people get yellow cards for fouls.

Then Mourinho will not only have to pay the price for this game, but he may also have to foreshadow the failure of the next game. Whether to save face or score, Mourinho may also have to make a tactical choice.

Just like Brito said, Mourinho has always been the kind of decisive person. After Drogba was sent off, he was already thinking about how to adjust the team's lineup and tactics. , Substitution is coming soon.

Thiago replaced Robben, Glenn Johnson replaced Duff, and Mourinho's order to the team was to defend fully.

No matter how ugly the scene is, we must hold on to the last 20 minutes. Mourinho will not easily give up the victory to others. Even if he retreats across the board, he will admit it. This suffocating game really makes people feel angry .

referee!Home!Fuck, these damn things have all come together, although Mourinho can't say that Fricks' penalty against Drogba was a complete misjudgment, but the Swede was disturbed by the atmosphere at the Nou Camp It's too powerful. He has completely forgotten how to control the situation on the field. He can only rely on playing cards to maintain the order of the field. However, such a measure of maintaining authority can only make Chelsea, who choose to defend, fall into a passive position. .

Mourinho's choice made Chelsea's counterattack lose its due power, but maybe no one can say anything about him. After all, this is the Nou Camp Stadium. It is really difficult to win a victory without one player. Disaster.

The most terrible thing is that after Drogba was sent off, Lin Yi's ankle was bruised by Albertini's vicious shovel and kick when he forced a breakthrough in the middle. However, Lin Yi ignored the dissuasion of the team doctor and continued to die on the field run.

However, the Chelsea team, which has not encountered a red card in a season, is really very difficult under the bombardment of the Barcelona team. Even the steel-like defense line will eventually loosen helplessly.

Barcelona finally equalized the score in the No.703 minute. Maxi Lopez tried to shoot from the right side of the penalty area, but he hit a low pass in front of the goal. Eto'o got rid of the interception of Carvalho and Ferreira in front of the goal. break down.

When Eto'o led the Barcelona fans in the Camp Nou to shout wildly, Lin Yi kicked the ball fiercely into the sky, and Selena was sitting high in the stands, and could see Lin Yi's face on the big screen how bad.

Perhaps no one has ever seen what Lin Yi looks like with a livid face, but anyone who is familiar with him knows that this kid is completely angry. If he is not really angry, he will not be in the middle of the kick-off. , He insisted on dribbling the ball and cutting in from the middle. Facing the continuous blockade of Deco and others, he still wanted to break through Barcelona's defense.

That is, after this break through the middle, the kid's ankle was kicked again, and this time it was very swollen.

But under his insistence, the team doctor could only use emergency treatment to help him treat him, and then Lin Yi returned to the court to try his best. This made Deke, who was in charge of marking Lin Yi, feel nervous. He knew that this kid was ruthless. .

Even if Barcelona did not lose to their opponents in this game, the away game would be a tough one. Deco knew Lin Yi's character too well. When he was in Porto, the kid never bowed to any strong opponent.

1:1, this goal ignited the Nou Camp Stadium, and also ignited the crazy energy of the Barcelona team to press across the board.

Without Drogba, the biggest threat during the counterattack, Barcelona frantically wanted to complete the reversal at the last moment.

In the 80th minute of the game, Deco and Harvey tried to shoot in front of the penalty area. Makelele and Terry used their bodies to block the threat for Cech, but the madness of the Barcelona people intensified.

No.803 minutes, the Barcelona team made a comeback, Ronaldinho used his precise pass to create a chance for Maxi Lopez, the Argentine's close-range shot was blocked by Petr Cech bravely with his body.

2 minutes later, Van Brontehorst made a pass from the left, and Eto'o volleyed again and was blocked by Cech.

No. 808 minutes, Xavi and Deco's consecutive shots were resolved by Petr Cech on the goal line. The Czech became the busiest person in the Chelsea team. Although he was facing heavy bombing, this guy was still able to hold on.

Until the final whistle sounded, the Barcelona team failed to knock on Chelsea's door again, but this group of Catalans were also celebrating that they kept their home court, although they allowed their opponents to take away an away goal.

But this group of Catalans believe that they will definitely win back in the away game, but when they cheered, they didn't see the expressions of Lin Yi and Chelsea when they left the field. The beasts were like wounded wolves Generally speaking, everyone's eyes are full of unwillingness and anger, as if they are ready to take a big bite with their mouths at any time.

The game is over, and the 1:1 score is fixed on the big screen at the Nou Camp, but all this is not really over, on the contrary, this is just the beginning, especially for those disputes between the two teams after the game .

Who was the last team not to attend a press conference after a game at Camp Nou?It is estimated that even Laporta himself may not be able to answer this question, because such a thing has almost never been encountered in the history of Barcelona. Even if the arch-enemy Real Madrid comes, they will send a press officer to deal with the situation .

But this time the Catalans really saw the toughness of Mourinho. What this guy did was amazing. They waited for them for 100 minutes at the meeting, but in the end, no one from the Chelsea team showed up.

The only person who came over to spread the word said, "Chelsea will formally appeal to UEFA."

The Chelsea team just left without a sound. They didn't stay at Camp Nou for an extra minute. They didn't even take a shower in the locker room before returning to the hotel where they were staying. Then they packed their bags and went straight back to London.

When the journalists who heard the news surrounded the entrance of London Airport, they only waited for Simon Greenberg, the spokesperson of the Chelsea club, and the rest of them had already taken the bus and left after the plane landed.

Simon Greenberg also only gave those reporters an answer: "First of all, we would like to apologize for not having any Chelsea coaching staff or players participating in the post-match interview, but it is just an apology."

"But Chelsea will formally appeal to UEFA regarding an incident that occurred at half-time. This is all I can disclose at present. Please wait for the official statement of Chelsea for the specific process."

The well-informed reporters understood what Simon Greenberg was referring to. After all, the English and Spanish media at the scene had already revealed the conflict in the player tunnel during the halftime break.

And Mourinho was also attacked by the opponent's assistant coach, although the Dutchman seemed to be injured more seriously.

This is definitely the headline of the UEFA Champions League round of [-], especially after the Nou Camp was tied at the last minute by the opponent. It is obvious that Mourinho is not going to let what happened in the tunnel just like that .

Moreover, Simon Greenberg also specifically pointed out the details of the conversation between Fricks and Rijkaard in his speech.

Reminiscent of Drogba being directly sent off with a red card in the second half, many media reporters in England are already brewing an article about the tricky relationship between the referee and the coach.

The English can fight each other, but when their opponents bully them under their noses, they are quite united.

Many British media have strongly criticized Fricks for Drogba's penalty. The British News Agency commented that Chelsea's well-organized performance in the first half was ruined by the referee's poor performance. Flisk is the culprit who really "beat" Chelsea on the field!

Moreover, many Spanish reporters added fuel to the fire at this time. When the English media collectively supported Mourinho, they chose to stand on Rijkaard's side. In the subsequent reports, they specially interviewed the Dutchman. , Let him explain, or justify, the conflict that broke out during the intermission.

"I don't understand. I'm curious about the appeal made by the Chelsea club. What will they say? They obviously didn't hear me. I said to the referee: 'Hey, it's good to see you. ’, and then talked about the game, and it wasn’t aggressive, I actually just went over to say hello, nothing else.”, this is what Rijkaard said in an interview.

"What made them so upset? I don't know, you have to ask Mourinho.", the guy obviously felt that the conversation between him and Flix was not a big deal, but he forgot, that is during the game.

Although some media sided with the Barcelona team, Spain's Aspen also believed that the red card changed the game this time, but the penalty of that time really needs to be discussed. The red card may really be too severe.

Regardless of how the media on both sides are bickering, UEFA can’t let this matter go anyway, they don’t seem to care whether Chelsea appeals, but they refused to participate in the press conference after the game and Mourinho criticized the referee on the sidelines This is a fact that the fourth official and many media have witnessed.

A UEFA spokesperson declared on the second day after the game, "We have started an investigation into Mourinho's several aggressive behaviors in the second half and the club's failure to attend the press conference after the game. We have informed Chelsea of ​​this. The club, the hearing will be held on March 3, and they can submit a written statement before that."

It can be seen that UEFA is determined to kill chickens for the monkeys this time, especially when they are dissatisfied with Mourinho, but Chelsea Club is also a bully this time, and things are going to go Big trouble.

"If this time it ends in such an unclear way, then the future games will only become more and more difficult to play. Anyway, things are already like this, so let's make a fuss! Look at these UEFA heads and brains, what is going on? What can I do!"

Mourinho is a dead pig now, he is not afraid of boiling water, he has to be cleaned up anyway, he is afraid he can hide?Since you can't even hide, you're afraid of a claw!You have to pull your back when you die, aren't you chatting with the referee? OK, I will let you know how much you have to pay for this chat!chat?Talk about your uncle!
And Lin Yi said more thoroughly in the interview, "Second round? Let Barcelona come. The hell of Stamford Bridge may not be easier to deal with than Camp Nou, and I can assure them that they will regret coming here. I remember the score of 1:1 very clearly, I can only tell them, I will pay back double!"

Don't forget, there is a second round!The game is not over yet, the remaining 10 minutes are destined not to belong to you!
