The strongest winger

Chapter 84 Fatal Strike
******
With the whistle of the referee, the players of both sides walked from the court to the player tunnel, and then entered their respective locker rooms.

After returning to the locker room, the players of the home team were all in a daze, panting heavily, and dared not say a word, because they saw the head coach Ranieri and assistant coach Benetti walking in.

In fact, not only the coach was dissatisfied with their performance in the first half, but even the players on the pitch were dissatisfied with their own performance. Leaving aside the fact that they were led by the visiting team at home, they were beaten by the visiting team for almost the entire first half. This is something that cannot be forgiven anyway.

"You performed well in the first half and only conceded one goal!!"

Hearing this, the team members lowered their heads a little.

"People who don't know think we are playing away! Don't you know that this is the Mestalla Stadium?? Don't you know that this is our home field??" Ranieri added another point in his tone.

The heads of the team members were lower than before, and their chins almost reached their chests.

"Raise your head!!" The voice changed, and the voice became louder again, "Raise your head!!!"

The players raised their heads and looked at the coach Ranieri.

"Here, first of all, I want to apologize to everyone! I didn't do my job well. I shouldn't have made such a countermeasure because of three away goals, so we have to attack in the second half! Let those guys from the Apennine Peninsula know whose home field this is!!"

When I first heard Ranieri apologize, I was taken aback subconsciously.

Ranieri ignored the stunned players, he took the tactical board from Benetti, and then began to explain the tactics of the second half to the players.

In stark contrast to the home team dressing room is the visiting team dressing room.

They entered the locker room in twos and threes, and chatted happily, as if they had just watched a half-time football game instead of playing half-time.

Baldini clapped his hands happily, and when the players were all focused, he smiled and said, "Although we only scored one goal in the first half, we believe that as long as we continue to put pressure on the home team in the second half! Score two more goals!! We will be the ones to enter the semi-finals!!"

Baldini's words immediately aroused the support of the players!
******
The 15 minutes of intermission passed quickly.

Although Valencia's starting 11 players did not perform well in the first half, Ranieri did not make substitution adjustments at the beginning of the second half, because the players on the field did not have technical problems, but mental and attitude problems.

Therefore, it is still necessary for the players on the field to make adjustments by themselves. Substitutions alone cannot solve the problem!
Just 2 minutes into the game, Valencia made an exquisite cooperation in the middle. Albelda suddenly shifted the ball and passed the ball to Vicente on the left.

Three minutes later, Valencia made a comeback. Baraja cut off the ball at Guerrera's feet in the middle, and without hesitation passed the ball to Albelda, who responded next to him.

After receiving the ball, David Silva used his dexterous technique to sway Bonera, and then used his own speed to completely throw the latter away. Di Vaio in the center and Vicente in the left all slammed into the center. Parma's entire defense line was thrown into chaos for a while!

"Three on three in the frontcourt!!"

Potenza saw that Bonera was easily swayed, and hurried forward to make up for the position, but he did not blindly step forward to leave the space behind him for Divayo, but consciously followed David Silva's dribbling frequency while watching the ball while retreating.

At this moment, David Silva suddenly kicked the ball to the left with his right foot and walked in the middle! !And took advantage of the opportunity to change the ball to his left foot, his dominant foot, and then quickly passed the ball with his left foot to Corradi who suddenly retreated to respond. David Silva did not stop after passing the ball and continued to run forward.

After just a few steps, he received the ball from Corradi.

"Beautiful two over one!"

At this time, it has reached the restricted area line! !David Silva swung his left foot! !Feronetti had to rush over to block the shot. What he didn't expect was that David Silva didn't shoot, but assumed a true pass! !The arch of his left foot swung down and passed the football to Vicente who was plugging in at high speed from the left.

"Vicente catches the ball!! There is no defender next to him!!! Shot!!!"

Half a second later, the Mestalla stadium broadcast sounded
"OOOOObjetivoooooo—"

1:1
******
Now Parma was pushed into a desperate situation!
5 minutes later, Parma made an adjustment, replacing defender Bonera with striker Pisanu!The formation also became three five two.

Baldini's desperate play seemed to arouse the fighting spirit of the players. Within 5 minutes of making substitution adjustments, Parma organized a deadly attack.

In 7 minutes, Morfeo took a quick free kick in the frontcourt, and Gilardino retreated to respond. Under the pressure of Ayala's defense, Gilardino passed the ball back to Morfeo.

Seeing Morfeo taking the ball again, Marchena rushed forward. He had seen the power of this Italian veteran in the last game. He is definitely a dangerous figure.Before the game, Ranieri repeatedly reminded Marchena, who is in charge of defense, to keep an eye on him and not to give him too much room for movement.

Marchena's quick attack made Morfeo a little at a loss. Fortunately, he had a lot of experience and did not stop the ball. Instead, he directly pushed the ball with his foot and passed the ball to Bresciano beside him.

After Bresciano took a few steps, Baraja stood in front of him, his body blocked Baraja's sight, and then he pushed the arch of his right foot and passed the ball to Morfeo in front of him.

After Marchena saw Morfeo catch the ball, he quickly rushed up again, but what he didn't expect was that Morfeo didn't catch the ball, but separated his legs and missed the ball.

"Morfeo's beautiful leak!"

The football rolled towards Morfeo's right front. A figure was stunned subconsciously after seeing the ball, but then the second reaction was quick, a small run-up, and then swung his thick right leg and shot from a long distance! ! !

"Pisanu long shot!!!"

Gilardino, who was about to grab a point, raised his arms when he saw the football hit the net. He had no time to celebrate, because he heard the roar of coach Baldini, "Hurry up!! Kick off!!!"

1:2
This goal was scored more by luck, and a long shot over 30 meters scored!
However, luck is often based on strength.

Parma ushered in a turning point! !

Now it's Ranieri's turn to worry, because as long as Parma scores another goal and his side does not score, the total score of the two sides will be equalized, and the away goals and total goals of both sides are the same. .

However, this is not what Ranieri wants to see.

Football is like that sometimes, often the last thing you want to happen happens.

At 64 minutes into the game, it was Pisanu again! !The ghostly running position, coupled with Morfeo's very thief pass, one pass and one catch, Pisanu took advantage of the ball and directly entered the penalty area, and there was no defender in front of him.Only Baraja, who reacted the fastest, was struggling behind Pisanu. When Pisanu raised his right foot to hit the door, in desperation, Baraja pulled hard with his right hand, and Pisanu fell to the ground!

The referee hesitated for a moment, then blew his whistle and pointed to Valencia's penalty spot with his left hand.

penalty! !
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-
The fans in the stands quit and booed loudly, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the referee's penalty!How can you treat us like this in our home stadium? ?

However, what made the fans of the home team even more dissatisfied was yet to come.

Then, after consulting the assistant referee, the referee took out a bright red card from his back pocket and pointed it at Valencia's captain Baraja.

Penalty and red card!
This is the fatal blow for Valencia! ! !
Ai Luo, who was warming up in the warm-up area, immediately stopped the warm-up action. Like Albiol who was warming up beside him, he yelled at the referee, but this did not affect the referee's decision. He was very decisive!
The fans in the stands booed harshly again!

At the same time, they kept scolding the referee!

"Are you a piece of shit!!!"

"Did I fuck your mother last night??"

"Mr. referee, be careful when you go back tonight, I will explode your ass!!"

·····
At the same time as there were ear-piercing boos from the stands, the players of the home team quit. The hot-tempered Marchena and the third vice-captain Albert Daziqi ran to the referee to argue!
"Mr. referee, let's not say that the other party flopped first, why did you give us a red card? Now I very much doubt the fairness of your law enforcement!!"

The referee was unhappy when he heard this, and quickly took out a yellow card from his chest pocket, and flashed it towards Marchena.

After seeing the penalty, Albelda laughed out of anger and slapped the referee twice.

The referee seemed to be addicted to the yellow card. He hadn't put away the yellow card just now, so he turned around and showed it to Albelda again!
Fortunately, the old goalkeeper Canizares, who rushed over from the small penalty area, had quick eyes and quick hands, and hugged two teammates who were about to run away with one hand. With the help of Aurelio and Ayala, they finally pulled the two "stubborn bulls" away from the scene of the incident.

Otherwise, if a penalty kick results in three red cards, then there is really no need to kick this game!

Ranieri has always been known as a good guy. When he first saw that it was a penalty kick, he was just a little impatient. He immediately ordered the players on the bench to warm up, but when he saw the referee gave Baraja a red card, he was completely angry! !He ran to the sidelines and raised his voice loudly, "You're a fucking piece of shit!! Do you know whose home court this is?? You must have taken black balls last night!! You took black money!!!" While insulting, Ranieri was still counting money with his right hand!
After the referee gave Marchena and Albelda a yellow card respectively, he heard the call of the fourth assistant referee on the sidelines.

After the fourth assistant referee said a few words in the referee's ear, the head coach's face turned pale, and he quickly took out the red card from his back pocket, ran to Ranieri, and showed it to the Valencia head coach!

Then pointing fingers to the stands, motioned Ranieri to end!Of course the stubborn Italian old man was unwilling, and was ready to argue with the referee, but with the efforts of UEFA staff, Ranieri was placed in the stands by two tall and mighty UEFA staff.
