Chapter 904 Murphy Effect
The fans in the stands were full of enthusiasm, and the fans watching the live broadcast from all over the world were also very excited. Since ancient times, there has been no famous game in the final, but today is different.

Within 10 minutes of the start of the second half, Suarez and Herrera had wonderful shots that came very close to scoring.

There was chaos in the penalty area, Alderweireld and Phil Jones desperately pushed their opponents away, and the two just stuck together.

This looks... There is no need for Rakitic to remind, Pique, Mascherano, and Iniesta all remembered the scene four years ago, so the penalty area became even more chaotic.

Pochettino didn't care too much about what happened in the penalty area. In the past half a month, he practiced a lot of set-piece offensive routines, but he practiced more defensively after set-piece attacks.

The reason is simple. About 12% of Barcelona's goals this season have come from counterattacks after the opponent's set-piece attack.

"Phil Jones, Alderweireld, and Schneiderlin are all up." Mourinho is also very interested in this, "Luke Shaw, Coleman and Sun Wu are on the periphery..."

"Setting the ball is a double-edged sword." Mortensen is also quite emotional.

If Sun Wu heard Mortensen's words, he would definitely make him a confidant. This is the biggest difference between him and Pochettino's pre-match deployment.

Pochettino believes that risks and benefits coexist. It is possible to be counterattacked and cause the ball to be lost, or it may create a scoring opportunity.

However, Sun Wu believes that the risk is too high and the price-performance ratio is too low. Once the opponent counterattacks, it may lead to loss of the ball. It can only be tried unless there is an extremely unfavorable situation where the score is two goals behind.

Pochettino insisted that set-pieces were an opportunity for United.

And Sun Wu insisted that set-piece offense is likely to be Manchester United's weakness and Barcelona's opportunity.

Of course, Pochettino needs to consider his face. The two central defenders did not go up in the corner kick, almost declaring that he gave up.

And Sun Wu...uh, he is shameless!
"Di!"

After the referee entered the penalty area for three consecutive warnings, he finally blew his whistle.

Herrera took a decent corner kick and the ball went straight to Phil Jones in the back point, but Rakitic headed it first.

"Headed clearance... oh, Neymar got the ball, this is Barcelona's chance to counterattack!"

Coleman gritted his teeth and went up with a flying shovel, but Neymar predicted in advance, suddenly raised his toes, and jumped over Coleman who was coming from the sliding shovel with the ball.

There was a burst of cheers from the stands. Mortensen shook his head and was speechless. He was condescending and could see very clearly. MSN had a clear division of labor and clear positions.

Sun Wu knew that it would be difficult for him to guard Neymar, who had already accelerated, so he could only retreat desperately, while paying attention to the running positions of Suarez and Messi.

After Neymar picked Coleman, he immediately accelerated, made a fake pass to Suarez, and gave the ball to Messi.

The Spanish commentator next door started to roar again, but Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu's concentration was completely unaffected.

"Watch out...Messi in the middle... oh, Herrera posted it!"

"Herrera back on defense so quickly?"

Of course, it was fast. After the corner kick was taken, Herrera didn't stop, didn't look at who got the point, and ran straight to the middle circle at high speed. His goal was Messi.

But Messi's personal ability is too strong. He suddenly slammed on the brakes and turned to get rid of Herrera, and then accelerated again.

However, Herrera did not give up, he accelerated to follow up...Messi turned again, this time Herrera was out of control, and was staggered and fell to the ground.

"Oops, 3 hits 2..." Zhang Lu was already desperate.

From Rakitic's header to clear the siege, in less than ten seconds, MSN has pushed the front line to the 30-meter area, and Coleman and Herrera failed to intercept one after another.

Pochettino looked ashamed on the sidelines. The more he didn't want something to happen, the more something would happen...Murphy effect!

Sun Wu gritted his teeth and looked at Messi, come on, Leon, let's fight it out!
It's a pity that this is not a knight duel in the Middle Ages. Messi is not interested in passing Sun Wu and going straight to Huanglong. He chose a more secure way.

"Messi... looking for Suarez?"

"No no no, Messi's reverse oblique plug...it's Neymar!"

Neymar, who had picked Coleman to send a cross before, crossed diagonally all the way, and received a diagonal ball on the right side of Messi, and he was about to enter the penalty area!

"Di!"

A shrill scream, a foul that made the Barcelona fans angry and delighted, a high-difficulty move of doing one and a half flips in the air, and six rolls on the ground!

"Penalty kick!" Barcelona's substitute players rushed down and shouted at the referee.

Suarez ran towards the referee with open arms and made a gesture of playing a card.

"Shit, flop, flop naked!" Sun Wu, who could see clearly, was furious. He pushed Suarez and Messi away, and shouted at the referee: "I didn't touch him at all. It's a flop!"

"Brazilians like to dive, don't be fooled!" Thomas Muller, who was running back, shouted from the outside, and then he and Alves got into each other...

The flushed Luke Shaw jumped up from the ground, rushed to Neymar who was still pretending to be poor, and angrily reprimanded him. Rakitic and Mascherano immediately pulled him away, and Alderweire Rudd and Phil Jones squeezed in, and the two sides began to push and shoved.

Surrounding Neymar and the referee, spit was flying in both crowds.

The replay started on the screen, Zhan Jun watched it twice carefully, and suddenly raised his tone to suppress the voice of the Spanish commentator next door, "There is indeed contact, but through slow motion...Look! Touched by Luke Shaw's left toe Before Neymar's calf, Neymar was down!"

"This is a thorough and standard diving action!" Zhang Lu roared angrily: "Neymar's diving is notorious, and the referee was fooled!"

"Now it depends on what the referee decides." Zhan Jun calmed down, "Luke Shaw was given a foul by whistle, but it may not be given a yellow card, because Luke Shaw already has a yellow card, and it may not be a penalty. , although Neymar fell in the penalty area, the contact between the two sides was on the line of the penalty area..."

At this time, the live broadcaster suddenly changed the screen, and Pochettino on the sidelines was almost frantically complaining to the fourth official about Neymar's diving. Mike Phelan and Jesús couldn't persuade him...

Uh, Pochettino believes that set-pieces are both risky and rewarding, but it turned out that he was wrong... The frustration and loss hidden in the Argentine's heart made him speechless.

No way, penalty kick, red card, how to play next?
There was a commotion on and off the field, and the stands were not much better. Manchester United fans had contact with Barcelona fans. The area had already started to riot, and a large number of riot police with shields rushed up.

Uh, Platini's face in the guest table was ugly.

After a while, the referee made a penalty. He first showed Luke Shaw a yellow card, then took out a red card to send him off, and then gave the most noisy Alves and Herrera a yellow card respectively. A yellow card was given to Suarez who took the initiative to ask the referee to draw a card.

But then the referee pointed his finger at the penalty area line, signaling that it was a free kick and not a penalty.

About [-] boards each, Sun Wu stared sullenly at Neymar who was still pretending, his teeth itching with hatred.

"Best?" Rakitic patted Sun Wu on the shoulder to signal him to get out of the way.

Sun Wu licked his lips, his eyes still fell on Neymar, "Ivan, do you know Joey Button?"

Rakitic's lips trembled. Of course he knew. This was one of the hot topics in the British media half a month ago. It is said that he is almost certain to retire...

Sun Wu took a deep breath, thinking about what to do next.

But at this moment, the referee pressed the call button, and after listening for a while, he suddenly ran to the sidelines, took out a red card and pointed at Pochettino.

Boos immediately resounded through the audience.

Two people were sent off at one time, well, Barcelona is really Platini's godson!

But things have two sides, and a smile appeared on the corner of Sun Wu's mouth.

Patrick in the stands also twitched the corner of his mouth. Of course he remembered very clearly that in the Manchester Derby last season, Pochettino sat in the stands, but Guardiola was completely defeated by Sun Wu.
