In stoppage time in the first half, Barcelona conceded another goal.

This goal appeared in the 2nd minute of stoppage time: the Barcelona players were brushing the possession rate in the backcourt again. Toure who took the ball was forced by Las. After being cautious, Toure passed the ball back to the goalkeeper Valdez. Si immediately turned and put pressure on Valdes together with teammate Irving.

The Barcelona goalkeeper has two options at this time, one option is to kick the ball out of the sideline to clear the siege, and the other option is to immediately pass the ball to other Barcelona defenders in the penalty area.

But Valdés did not choose both options. He made a choice that may be shrewd in his own eyes, but very bad in the eyes of outsiders-after the Barcelona goalkeeper received the ball returned by Toure, First stopped the ball, and then tried to dribble past Lars Bender who was close at hand.

Lars naturally refused to give up the opportunity so easily. He stepped forward courageously and had a slight body friction with Valdez. Valdez's center of gravity was lowered to the right and tried to pass the ball, but his body lost his balance in an instant and failed to complete the task. Action, Lars took the opportunity to stick out his right foot and sent the ball directly from Valdez's feet into the empty goal!

Valdez tilted his body and finally stood still, turned around and looked at the goal with an expression of disbelief.

In fact, even Russ blinked his eyes, and he himself couldn't believe that it was so easy to help the team score another point.

Russ suddenly thought of what the boss had said to them before the game to boost morale.

"Barcelona's ball possession tactics are very powerful, but the longer they hold the ball, the more useless it is. It just looks good. A truly threatening ball possession can tear apart the opponent's defense within two or three feet. Catch the opponent by surprise, Barcelona seems to have the ball in their hands, but if they can't make threatening shots, what's the use of more ball possession? You don't need to compete with them to control the ball The rate of the ball, just give them the ball, and then watch from the sidelines, in case Barcelona makes a mistake due to worry and nervousness, that is your chance..."

With the example verification, Lars felt that what the boss said was absolutely correct, as if he could predict it. He had guessed that this scene might happen before the game.

Lars breathed a sigh of relief, turned around with a smile on his face and celebrated with his teammates. If he had only five points of confidence in defeating Barcelona before the game, now he has seven, eight or even nine points.

With the cheers of the fans of Munich 1860, the referee just blew the halftime whistle at this time.

……

Valdés committed two low-level mistakes in the first half, which made Barcelona fans anxious, but they had no other way but to count on Rijkaard to wake him up during the intermission.

Of the 11 players on the field, Rijkaard can be replaced by anyone, but only Valdes cannot be replaced. Similarly, it is impossible for the Barcelona club to buy another goalkeeper to replace Valdes in the transfer market.

Because Valdés is the most suitable goalkeeper for the Barcelona system and the first system goalkeeper in European football.

The reason for such a comment is that, apart from Valdez’s La Masia youth training pedigree, more importantly, he is also a part of Barcelona’s tactics and an important organizer in the team’s offensive and defensive system—usually Generally speaking, the goalkeeper's duty is only to keep the goal, but Valdez is different. In Barcelona's tactical system, the goalkeeper is also a part-time defender. He must participate in the team's passing and receiving coordination. Not only will he participate in the down-field action, but he often helps the team launch the offensive with direct short or long passes.

Valdés has a very wide range of activities in the game, far exceeding the average goalkeeper. His good attack characteristics can make up for the weakness of Barcelona's long line between the back line and the goal under the Total Attack and Total Defense tactics. Because of this, Valdes is the most suitable goalkeeper for Barcelona. If other world-class goalkeepers such as Herbvon Koch are switched, they may not be able to integrate into the team better than Valdes.

Cruyff once praised Valdez's preference to participate in the backcourt: "Valdés is what we (the club) ask for, and we will encourage him to continue to do so. More coherent, we can't play the game well if we don't play the ball with our feet, starting with the goalkeeper."

However, Valdes has been a well-known "nervous knife" since his debut. He can stage wonderful saves in the game, and he can also make low-level mistakes and directly send the ball to the opponent's feet. For example, in the 2005-06 season, he kicked the ball to the ass of Valencia goalkeeper David Villa. After rebounding, the ball finally went into the Barcelona goal. door.

It is not known how Rijkaard will hit Valdés during the halftime break, but Karl stopped his smile at 1860 Munich and seriously warned his players not to be ashamed just because they lead Barcelona by three goals. Get carried away with complacency, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and you must not be overturned by your opponent in the second half.

All the Lions players knew what Carl said at the pre-match press conference. They all patted their chests and promised that the second half of the game would be as exciting as the first half, and they would never let the boss down in such a crucial game. save face.

After a short 15-minute break, the second half began.

……

Perhaps it was because of some teachings he listened to during the intermission, and Valdez's performance in the second half really restrained a lot.

Irving's long-range shot hit Valdez's arms, and other Barcelona players gradually pressed forward, ready to launch a counterattack immediately after Valdés launched.

Valdez, who became more cautious, did not launch a long pass after leaving the goal a little distance as usual, but directly and carefully lobbed the ball, and passed it short to his teammate Zambrotta who was only a few meters away.

Zambrotta turned around and took the ball forward a few steps, passed the ball to teammate Milito, and then Milito passed it to Harvey and Deco. After a few passes, the football was quickly brought into Munich 1860. field.

When Barcelona really wanted to attack, they always pressed very quickly. After just a few tens of seconds, the offense had already reached the Lions' penalty area.

However, Munich 1860's defense was also very fast. Before Eto'o broke into the penalty area with the ball, Thiago, Mertesacker, Dante and others were already standing near the small penalty area. Hummels, Beckham, etc. The defensive midfielders are also in their respective positions. It can be said that the defensive players are in their respective positions and have formed an airtight defensive net.

Eto'o wanted to tear open the defense in the penalty area of ​​the Lions, but not only failed after he tried twice, the ball at his feet was almost cut off by Thiago, so he made a decisive decision and stuffed the ball to his teammate in the middle of the penalty area Deco.

Deco raised his foot and shot without moving. Koch pounced towards the upper right corner of the goal, and the football was already in his arms.

After landing, Koch let go of the football. As soon as it landed on his feet, he hit his right foot suddenly, and the football immediately flew towards the midfield at high speed as if it had been equipped with a launcher!

A moment later, Beckham has received the pass near the center circle.

The German commentator joked: "Koch's serve is getting longer and longer, and he rushed to the midfield with a casual kick. Maybe he can shoot the ball in front of the goal in the future. Can really shoot the ball into the opponent's goal Woolen cloth……"

Beckham took the ball from the right and waded into the Barcelona half. After a two-to-one cooperation with Ozil, he sent the ball directly into the penalty area with a long pass.

Portillo quickly cut inside from the left and entered the penalty area. While running forward, he adjusted the ball to the most comfortable angle with his feet. Seeing that his right foot had been raised, he formed a golden rooster independent posture and was about to shoot!

At this most critical moment, Barcelona defender Abidal suddenly burst out from the front right, and while Portillo was still running on one foot, he made a quick and ruthless tackle on him!

This tackle not only shoveled the ball out of the baseline, but even kicked Portillo's ankle, causing Portillo to lose his balance, and he staggered forward and fell in the penalty area.

"Foul! Foul!" 1860 Munich immediately shouted in the stands: "This is a penalty!"

The Barcelona fans, fearing that their voices would affect the referee, also followed up and shouted: "This is a reasonable collision!"

Carl stared at Portillo's direction intently. He didn't heave a sigh of relief until he saw that the opponent was pulled up by Beckham and jumped two steps on the spot without any serious problems. Then he turned his gaze to the host. referee.

Abidal's action just now was too big. If there is no accident, it should be a penalty kick. Karl is going to let Beckham take the penalty. If he is lucky, maybe 1860 Munich will be able to seal the victory in a few minutes.

But a few seconds later, Carl's face changed.

Because the referee didn't blow the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot at all, but directly raised his head to the corner flag, signaling that it was a corner kick!

As soon as the verdict came out, most of the Nou Camp stadium was in an uproar.

Not to mention the astonished expressions of the players on the field, even the fans in the stands did not expect the referee to make such a judgment. The Lions fans immediately shouted dissatisfied, while the Barcelona fans fell into a rare silence.

"What the hell?!" Surprised voices came from the bench behind Carl.

Karl immediately went to the fourth official to protest: "This penalty is extremely unfair. 1860 Munich should get a penalty, and Barcelona should be issued a red card!"

The fourth official opened his mouth to comfort Karl, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to say. He saw the scene just now clearly. It stands to reason that Munich 1860 should not only be awarded a corner kick... But the first To put it bluntly, the four official is a position to assist the referee in the game. Although he has the right to submit a report on the referee's improper penalty to the referee committee after the game, he has no right to replace the referee to change the penalty during the game. decided.

The silence of the fourth official seemed to Karl to be covering up his colleagues, and his dissatisfaction was even stronger, so his words became a little more serious.Although Karl also knows that it is impossible to change the referee's decision, it is still useful to complain to the fourth official. At least he can warn the opponent not to "cut corners" in the post-match report. The matter about the referee's misjudgment is It must be written, otherwise, Munich 1860 will not give up easily.

Carl, who had his back to the court and the fourth official's theory, didn't see that the referee on the court found his action, broke free from the encirclement of the Lions players on the court with a straight face, and walked quickly towards the sidelines.

"Is Mr. Alston dissatisfied with the penalty?"

Karl turned around and saw the referee standing behind him angrily. He frowned slightly, a little puzzled—this judgment is fair and unfair, which can be seen by everyone. The coach of the team who was fouled and wronged It is human nature to complain to the fourth official. How can a head coach not speak up after suffering a loss? Isn't that a soft bun for others to manipulate?There was nothing wrong with his behavior, why did he provoke the referee from the field?

"Just now you were confident with the fourth official, why didn't you dare to speak out when you saw me?" Carl's silence didn't bring about the referee's turning around. ?”

Every move of the referee in this game is a bit weird. Carl's intuition must be wrong, but for the time being, he can't see where the opponent's purpose is. Anyway, he also protested to the fourth official. A penalty kick against the current lead The three-goal Munich 1860 is nothing, so he tried his best to calm down and said to the referee: "Abidal's action just now is obviously a foul. Although Portillo was not injured, he cannot be treated lightly just because he is not injured. Sending Barcelona players, I am just a little puzzled by your penalty, not dissatisfied with you personally."

The referee seemed to be offended when he heard the words, and he took a big step forward and approached Karl, angrily scolded: "If you are dissatisfied with me, you can protest to the European Referee Committee after the game. What is the sarcasm for? Look down on me?!"

The fourth official standing aside immediately looked at the coach of the Lions team when he heard the words, and then wondered: How did the referee see the sarcasm from this expressionless face?

The spit was almost spraying on his face, Carl took a step back and put his hand on the opponent's chest: "You should go back and continue the game, Mr. Referee."

The referee's face was purple, and he made a move that surprised everyone.

With a rigid expression, he stared straight at Karl, then stretched out his arms, pointed at Karl, and pointed at the stands!

This is a gesture to punish Karl to the stands!

"Damn!" the German narrator blurted out: "What is this guy doing?!"

……

The Camp Nou stadium is already boiling like a pot of boiling water. The Lions players on the field and the coaches' substitutes off the field all have expressions of disbelief, and then they are full of anger. If there is no calm down People were standing by, and I am afraid that many people rushed to the sidelines.

The referee looked at his watch impatiently, and pointed to the stands to Carl, which probably meant: Get off to the stands quickly, or the game will never restart.

Karl now fully understood the opponent's purpose, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he finally glanced at the referee, turned and walked towards the stands.

The referee then turned around and walked back to the court, ready to restart the match.

The fourth official stood where he was, suffering a lot in his heart. He really didn't know how to write the post-match report later.

When Carl passed by the team's bench and waved to the players in comfort, the assistant coach Hassler walked up with a look of panic, and said nervously: "What about the game? How about the game?" The referee was fined Going to the stands, it is reasonable to say that the assistant referee will take over the rest of the game, but Hassler has never had experience in this area since working for Carl, so he is naturally very uneasy at the moment, for fear that he will screw up.

Carl patted the opponent's shoulder, although his heart was turbulent, he still squeezed out a gentle way: "Don't worry." He looked back at the field and made eye contact with many players who were looking at him anxiously. After a while, He looked at Hassler: "We discussed the substitution list before the game, didn't we? You just need to see who loses physical strength and can't hold on, just follow the list. As for the game, leave it to the players. will disappoint us."

After receiving these few words, Hassler looked much more relaxed, and he couldn't help nodding to Karl: "I will do it, don't worry."

Karl walked up to the stand closest to the stadium, and when he was about to find an empty seat, he suddenly stopped. This is the stand for the fans of the home team Barcelona, ​​and the slogans and the fans' attire are still relatively loyal.

After hesitating for a while, Karl decided not to look for a seat, and just stood near the stairs to watch the game.

But at this time, in the rows closest to him, Barcelona fans in red and blue jerseys gathered together and discussed in low voice for a few minutes, a fan in the front row suddenly stood up and walked to the back row, and then one by one watched The Barcelona fan who looked like a leader stood up, called Carl, pointed to the vacant front seat and said: "Sit there."

After being slightly startled, Karl immediately thanked the other party, then walked to the seat and sat down.

None of the Barcelona fans around spoke to him, but they all cast their eyes over him, sizing him up overtly and secretly.

For these sights, Karl just pretended not to know, and he focused on looking forward.

On the field, play has resumed.

And on the big screen of the Nou Camp Stadium, as well as on the TVs of countless fans, the entire action of Portillo being tackled by Abidal just now, and the confrontation between Carl and the fourth official and the referee outside the field are being played back. picture.

Anyone who is not prejudiced can clearly know from these pictures that Abidal's action was indeed a foul, the referee's penalty was a misjudgment, and Karl's protest to the fourth official was completely outside the rules. In the middle, he was always calm when dealing with the referee, but the referee's reaction was too exaggerated. He shouldn't have sent the Munich 1860 coach to the stands...

"Auston offended the referee? Is there any point in his behavior that seems to be disrespectful to the referee?" The British commentator said sarcastically: "People like him who stick to the power of the head coach will also be punished. The referee of the game is simply insane."

The TV camera turned, and there was a picture of Karl sitting among a group of Barcelona fans watching the game intently.

The British commentator said half funny and half meaningful: "Munich 1860 scored three goals against Barcelona in this game. Seeing that Barcelona is hopeless, Catalan fans are here It should be because I hate 1860 and Auston, but look at what those Barcelona fans in the Nou Camp are doing? They took the initiative to give Auston a seat with the best angle to watch the game!"

"Who is the right side, who has been treated unfairly, I think even Barcelona fans, the balance in their hearts has already been divided."

……

"The most threatening person in Munich 1860 was sent off." When Karl walked to the stands, the commentators from all over the world said almost the same thing.

Then there are some predictions about the situation of the next game.

If this group of commentators previously had a seven-point confidence that 1860 Munich would win in the end, this confidence has now become five points.

They believe that Carl's end may be a turning point, which will give Barcelona a chance to comeback.

There are not a few commentators who think this way, and even many media fans present think: Barcelona's opportunity has come.

However, if these words were heard by Karl who was already sitting in the stands, maybe he would laugh out loud-it would be naive for Barcelona to think that they could reverse the game by sending the opponent coach to the stands.

The players Karl taught himself knew that those young people on the court had been completely aroused. They pressed the flames on their chests and dyed their eyes, waiting to burn them well in the next game time. Opponents watch until Barcelona is burned to the ground.

In the 67th minute, Owen cut in from the left and passed Toure and Deco. He kicked the ball with his right foot from the top of the penalty area and hit the goal. The ball was blocked by the post.

Only 3 minutes later, Portillo broke through the frontcourt, Puyol slid the siege to clear the siege, although the football was shoveled, it flew not far away, Dzeko fired a heavy bombardment from the front of the penalty area, and the football rushed into the upper left of the goal at high speed horn!

0:4!1860 Munich are already four goals ahead at home to Barcelona!

In the 79th minute, Barcelona launched an attack. Messi, who had just been replaced, dribbled the ball into the Lions half. When he was about to break through to the front of the penalty area, he was tripped by Hummels. Although the action was not big, the referee still awarded it to Barcelona. A free kick.

Munich 1860 quickly set up the wall. Messi shot a free kick from a small angle after a run-up, but this shot was unlucky and hit the wall directly, without even touching the edge of the goal.

In the 85th minute, Owen substituted the ball into the Barcelona half after passing two people in a row, and then passed the ball to Beckham. Stopped the ball and shot directly, the football flew into the net from the lower right corner of the goal, 0:5!

“0:5！0:5！”在比赛最终结束之后，德国解说员乐不可支：“慕尼黑1860在诺坎普球场取得了一场酣畅淋漓的大胜！”
