--------------------------------
Pei Wei chatted easily with Carver, but Mourinho was not so relaxed. Although the current situation on the court is not unfavorable to Newcastle, Rijkaard appeared in the referee's locker room. He felt a little heavy in his heart - Newcastle's defensive tactics are to compress the opponent's offensive space, and naturally physical confrontation and fouls are indispensable. If the referee is biased towards Barcelona, as long as a few yellow cards are severely shown, it will cause great damage to Newcastle's defense Trouble.
So since the second half of the game, he has been paying close attention to the referee's whistle-blowing scale. If the penalty for physical confrontation suddenly becomes severe, then he will remind the players to pay attention to fouls.
However, judging from the current situation, the referee does not seem to have changed the penalty scale in the first half. It seems that when he and Pei Wei knew that Rijkaard entered the referee's locker room during the intermission, Frisk It seems that he is apprehensive and does not dare to be too biased towards Barcelona.
If it is just a normal bias towards the home team, then there will be no problem.
At this time, Newcastle launched a counterattack. Nie Fei passed a direct pass to Ibrahimovic in the midfield, but Puyol blocked the ball early with a beautiful defense around the front. Then Barcelona quickly counterattacked. Unfortunately, Iniesta passed a direct pass. Eto'o's ball was also broken by Hart.
After two back and forth attacks, Barcelona's spirit seems to have been eliminated a lot, their offense began to slow down, and Newcastle also ushered in a respite.
Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief. This stalemate was exactly what he wanted to see. The longer Newcastle leads, the better it will be for them. This is what Newcastle he trained is best at.
Mourinho predicted well. After losing the vigor after the opening, Barcelona's offense began to fall into the same situation as in the first half. It was difficult to organize the offense into the penalty area, and they could only create shots through long shots. But in front of Cech who is in excellent form, unless it is an extremely perverted world wave, it is difficult for long-range shots to pass Cech's ten fingers. On the contrary, several players in the frontcourt of Newcastle can often create threats in counterattacks through their excellent personal abilities.
After Harvey's long-range shot was firmly held in Cech's arms, Newcastle launched a counterattack again!
From Petr Cech throwing the ball to launch the attack, to Ribery who pulled the ball in the middle to Nie Fei on the right, the whole process only took less than ten seconds!
"Back to defense!" Puyol shouted loudly to direct his teammates back to defense while running to the restricted area.
Nie Fei passed Van Bronhorst beautifully. This Dutch full-back, known as the "King of the Derby", has a very strong assist ability, but compared with his offense, his defense is a notch worse, not to mention Nie Fei is now at his peak, while Van Bronhorst is nearly thirty years old.
After getting rid of the Dutch defender, Nie Fei took the ball and continued to the bottom. After looking up to observe the situation in the penalty area, he did not cut inside, but kicked a pass!
The ball passed over the heads of the four players on both sides in the penalty area, and quickly fell to the back point. Ribery and Belletti were desperately rushing towards the landing point, constantly vying for positions.
Belletti took a step ahead and blocked Ribery's advance with his body, but Ribery was pressing behind him. He didn't dare to stop the ball in the penalty area. If he was cut off, it would be fatal. Mistake!
In a panic, Belletti did not stop the ball, but used his chest to hit the ball towards Valdes in front of the goal. This choice can be said to be correct, because Valdes is not far away from him, and he can throw it with his hands. Valdés of the ball can easily save the ball, but it can be said that it is not correct, because now the two Newcastle forwards and the two Barcelona defenders are entangled in the penalty area!
Seeing Belletti pass back to the goalkeeper, Drogba quickly got rid of Marquez's entanglement, and with a sliding tackle, he was about to break the ball halfway!
Valdez reacted quickly. Although Drogba poked the ball first, he was unable to control the ball. Valdez stretched out his hand and pressed the ball under him. Although Drogba had already retracted his feet, But still hit Valdez's body!
Valdez let out a scream, Drogba's size is not easy to bear, not to mention the momentum brought by sliding, the Barcelona goalkeeper is not easy to suffer.
Drogba got up immediately and began to bend over to condolences to Valdes - although he didn't mean it, but after all he bumped into the other party, he must show a little kindness.
Seeing Drogba like this, the Barcelona players can't say anything. After all, the Barcelona players who are close can see clearly that Drogba has already stopped his feet just now, and what Valdés bears is only the pain of Drogba's body. It's just a collision, there will be no problem.
Valdez was carried down by the Barcelona team doctor. The referee Frisk beckoned Drogba to pass. Drogba thought he was going to warn himself, and walked over with a smile on his face, but just approached, his face The smile on the face froze.
Frisk took out a yellow card from his pocket blankly and flashed it in front of Drogba!
Drogba has already received a yellow card in the first half!This means that……
Sure enough, Frisk quickly took out another red card from his pocket and waved it in front of Drogba!
The entire Camp Nou was in an uproar immediately, and then there was a huge cheer from the Barcelona fans, which suppressed all the curses of the Newcastle fans.
No one is an idiot, the fans present can see that now Barcelona want to attack, but there is no good way to take advantage of Newcastle's defense, and Newcastle's counterattack makes them unable to attack with all their strength. , then the power of the counterattack will be reduced a lot, which is extremely beneficial to Barcelona's offense.
Amidst the din of the audience, Mourinho stood up with a "thump" and looked at Frisk on the field with a livid face. Carver pointed at Frisk beside him, trembling all the time. Unable to speak, Pei Wei jumped out, pointed at the field and yelled: "Fuck, is this a foul? Even if it is a foul, can this be a card? If it can be given Cards, what about head kicks in football games! How the hell do you referee?"
The fourth official walked over sullenly, and said to Pei Wei with a serious face: "Mr. Pei Wei, please pay attention to your wording!"
"Fucking words!" Pei Wei scolded on the sidelines: "Are you going to say that the fucking video footage can't be used as evidence for the referee's decision? Don't think I don't know that bastard Rijkaard is in the middle Entered your referee lounge during the break! This is a conspiracy! A complete conspiracy! Watch, this thing is fucking endless!"
Frisk, who was walking towards the sidelines with a bad face, heard Pei Wei's insults like a street hooligan who had no identity at all, and his heart became a little more angry, but Pei Wei's words hit him hard. In his heart, after hesitating for a while, he still did not show Pei Wei a red card to send him off, but said to Pei Wei seriously: "Please go back to your seat! Otherwise, I will send you off! "
Pei Wei looked at him with a sneer, until Frisk felt a little nervous, and walked back with a sneer.
Mourinho patted Pei Wei's thigh: "Forget it, it's no good arguing with him now... This game, how to play, has to be played."
Pei Wei heard the chill in Mourinho's words, he nodded, and then gritted his teeth and said, "This guy, he's looking for death, so don't blame me... I'll see if he can still eat the bowl of refereeing." Go down... Blatter's fellow Swiss—so what!"
**********************************************
Drogba's end, on the surface, it seems that Newcastle only lacks a striker, which has no effect on their defense, but in fact, Drogba's physical pressing in the frontcourt not only makes Barcelona's defender feel very uncomfortable Troublesome, but also relieved a lot of pressure on his defense. Among the four attackers in Newcastle's frontcourt, the other three were not very good defensively. His end was a big blow to Newcastle's overall strength.
You must know that Newcastle's defense has never relied solely on the defenders, especially in this game, when Barcelona attacked, the first line of defense was the striker, and Drogba was the main figure in the first line of defense .
Now that Drogba is off the field, Newcastle's entire defensive system immediately has a huge loophole, just like a sophisticated machine, without a seemingly inconspicuous gear, it will immediately tend to collapse.
Mourinho gritted his teeth and muttered in his heart. He has nothing to do now. There is still nearly half an hour before the end of the game. The only thing he can do now is to continue to persevere.
He quickly made a substitution. Kufuor came on and replaced Nie Fei. Nie Fei was not helpful in defense, and his speed was a little slower than Ribery. Under the circumstances, Mourinho can only make the defense more stable by increasing the number of defenders.
Five defenders, three midfielders, single forward, three of them including two midfielders, Mourinho formed this lineup, intending to carry out the defense to the end, as long as he can survive the remaining half an hour, It's easy to say anything.
Besides, having already scored a goal in the away game, if it is a draw or only loses one goal, it can be regarded as a passable result.
The red card Drogba received was the first red card Newcastle received in an official game since the start of the season.
