Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 45 Red Card
At the moment when the ball flew into the dead corner, the Yokohama Arena seemed to stand still in time and space, and the whole world only belonged to that not much, but destined to be dazzling red.

All the Chinese media participating in the live broadcast jumped up and merged with the screams and shouts of the Evergrande fans in the stands. He Wei changed his previous excitement and said in a calmer tone: "The goal has been scored! Wen Zhihao, the first AFC Champions League Golden Boot in China, broke the goal of the European Champion Barcelona in front of fans all over the world. This moment is destined to be recorded in the history of Chinese football. Wen Zhihao first singled out the world-class defender. Barcelona will remember this young man from China."

He Wei's tone of talking about everything was like talking about Lao Wang next door who had nothing to do with him, but tens of millions of fans heard the obvious choking sound through the broadcast.

At this time, no one would have any opinion on He Wei's performance.It is said that in many fan families all over China, there was a crackling sound at that moment, and countless fans broke their jobs because they were too excited.

As Papa Wen, who has a direct relationship with the person involved, he rarely took the case by surprise, waving a combination of punches and roaring loudly as if he had scored a goal.The wife bluntly said that the old urchin was next to him.Dad Wen knew what this goal meant to his son.Since then, as a "Chinese player who broke the goal of Barcelona", his son's future in Europe can be said to be bright, which is equivalent to having a passport to enter a first-class team.

However, to everyone's surprise, Wen Zhihao knelt on the spot, covered his face with his jersey, and shed a few tears while his teammates and coaching staff were wildly celebrating the goal.After scoring such a domineering penalty, he felt that a big rock stuck in his heart had finally been shattered.At this moment, he truly forgave himself for the mistakes he made in the Super Bowl at the beginning of the year. Standing on the penalty spot, he felt that the goal in front of him was no longer an insurmountable moat.

Even the goal of the European champions has been broken, what goal can I not score?
……

In the No.305 minute of the game, Barcelona made the first substitution adjustment, and Messi came on the field to replace the teenager Munir.

There was a huge scream from the Barcelona stands in the stadium. In the commentary of Nippon Sports [-], Nakata Hidetoshi said with great interest: "It is unimaginable! Guangzhou actually scored the first goal. The young man who just won the AFC (AFC) (AFC) top scorer this year broke the goal of Barcelona himself. But Guangzhou should be careful. Guardiola is going to send the world-class Leo Messi. His lethality is at the level of nuclear weapons. Guangzhou's defense will face devastating damage."

On the CCTV side, He Wei's voice rose another octave: "Fans all over China finally got their wish. Wen Zhihao's goal successfully forced Barcelona's ace Messi from the bench to the pitch. Guardiola's team may really start to attack Guangzhou Evergrande with all their strength."

Xu Yang followed He Wei's words and said: "Evergrande has been successful enough to force the world-class Messi to play and let the cosmic team Barcelona really use their full strength. No matter how the next game develops, Evergrande will be the winner...Of course, I hope that the score can be maintained until the end."

Messi's playing is an obvious signal to strengthen the offense.Barcelona then linked up three lines to implement high pressure on Evergrande. The top pressure in Europe made it difficult for Evergrande's midfielder to adapt. Even the back line made low-level mistakes. Fortunately, Messi was eager to perform and wasted a few excellent opportunities to pass the ball. Scolari's team was able to enter the halftime with the lead.

In the locker rooms of both sides, the two head coaches fought in the air.Guardiola's tactics are very clear, with Messi as the core of the attack in the second half, relying on Messi's proud skills to tear through Evergrande's defense.

Scolari emphasized defensive intensity and concentration.He took the lead in the first half, which was unexpected in his pre-match plan.But at this time, his skills as a World Cup champion coach began to show.Scolari decisively decided to use Goulart to remove Elkeson on the front line, and the team formation became a 4-6-0 without a striker, fully resisting Barcelona's counterattack in the second half.

And the media used the precious intermission for simple communication. The trend of the game in the first half was beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone needed to digest it.

From the first moment referee Aguilar blew the whistle for the second half, the Barcelona players pressed down on Evergrande's defense line like tigers descending from the mountain. Evergrande players followed the deployment of head coach Scolari, actively gave up the ball, and retracted their formation to defend.

This kind of arrangement is not a big problem for ordinary teams, but it is tantamount to slow suicide when encountering Barcelona's Tiki-taka pass control. No. 60 minutes, Barcelona used three consecutive quick triangular cooperation, and finally Suarez scored a low shot to equalize the score.

He Wei couldn't help complaining: "Scolari's conservatism has ruined Evergrande's advantage. Facing a team like Barcelona with top-level pass control ability, how can it work to stick to it! Evergrande has no lead, and will have to withstand Barcelona's more violent firepower in the next half hour. The situation is already very dangerous."

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Scolari called Wen Zhihao to the sidelines to deliver new instructions: "Wen, when attacking, you should break through more and let Ricardo (Gorat) pass the ball to you more. Now it is up to you, and you have to take more responsibility."

Wen Zhihao nodded.When he returned to the field, he obviously broke through more resolutely and had a wider range of dribbling.From time to time, Barcelona left back Alves returned to the center to defend Wen Zhihao together with Pique. The penalty kick in the first half was a big mistake caused by his over-trusting Pique's defensive ability and not closing the gap in time.

Wen Zhihao knew that the team was facing a difficult situation, and he had to open the gap to attract Barcelona's attention. Even facing two top defenders, he still had no fear.

The whole game entered the most critical 10-minute juncture. Alves, who had suffered a severe physical decline during the high-speed offense and defense, was just about to catch his breath when he looked up and found that the ball was flying towards him, and it seemed to be over his head.His eyes froze suddenly, and he looked behind him, which almost scared his soul away.

On the path of the ball, a high-speed forward red figure passed him and went straight into the side of the penalty area. Alves knew that it was Wen Zhihao who had caused the team to suffer.Seeing that he could no longer catch up with Wen Zhihao, Alves threw himself out like a pack of dynamite, and unexpectedly grabbed Wen Zhihao's jersey and fell sideways, knocking Wen Zhihao to the ground.

The entire stadium, even those fans wearing Barcelona jerseys, booed for a while. Unsportsmanlike fouls like this are deeply despised by the fans.

However, everything was not over yet. Wen Zhihao stood up, rushed over and pushed Alves to the ground. The sneakers with studs stepped on Alves' calf twice, cursing in English: "Are you fucking playing football or practicing Taekwondo?! Are you looking for a beating!"

Players from both sides quickly rushed to the scene of the incident to set up a field for their teammates. The referee team saw that the situation was not good and quickly connected and pushed the two parties away.Aguilar sternly taught: "I have seen the actions of both of you, and the nature is quite bad. You should go to the end and calm down!"

After speaking, Aguilar showed red cards to Wen Zhihao and Alves respectively, and invited them to the bench.

When Wen Zhihao walked off the field, he was still cursing at Alves angrily, Scolari hurriedly asked his assistant to pull him to the bench, for fear of causing another conflict.

The sudden turn of events left Scolari scratching the back of his head helplessly.The offensive core was sent off at the critical moment, how can this game be played?
