Belleron successfully broke through the Italian left back Grosso who was defending him. He did not intend to pass the ball, but continued to break in, which caused Sporting Gijon's defense to become confused.
Hierro quickly dropped Pantridge to cover up the defense. Belleron made a quick movement and moved the football towards the bottom line. The experienced Hierro did not fall for the trick and just stayed close to prevent him from cutting inside.
Belleron, who had his back to Hierro, suddenly knocked the football between the Spanish veteran's legs with his heel. Then he turned 180 degrees with Hierro as his axis and slipped in from near the baseline!
"Beautiful!" the narrator shouted.
Hierro, the former captain of Real Madrid, and Belleron, the midfield brain of Super Depor. The confrontation between these two people has been one of the main themes of La Liga in the past ten years. Now, Hierro has become a symbol of Hierro.
Hong Jingjing's red and white jerseys, seeing this confrontation between the two, made people sigh, as if they were seeing the lost memories through the river of time.
Hierro saw Belleron knocking the ball with his heel and was about to enter the penalty area. He subconsciously extended his foot to hook the ball. However, at the moment when he stretched his foot, Hierro retracted his foot. There was no reason, maybe it was just out of control.
Based on the intuition of an experienced veteran, he stopped.
Almost at the same time as Hierro retracted his foot, Belleron fell in the penalty area.
Deportivo's player broke through into the penalty area and suddenly fell down in the penalty area during the opponent's defense.
If you think about it with your knees, you can guess what might happen.
***********
"Penalty kick!" Deportivo coach Irueta shouted.
"Fuck!" Li Ang shouted angrily. From the angle he was in, of course he couldn't see clearly what happened in the penalty area at that time, but of course he wanted to call his opponent to dive.
At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on the referee Esquero.
The referee did not blow his whistle, he just shook his hand, which meant that there was no foul or penalty kick. However, Esquero did not give Belleron a yellow card, which meant that he did not punish the opponent for diving, which was taken care of.
The home team once. This time, the referee was in a good position. It can be said that he happened to see clearly what happened and saw Hierro put his foot back in time without actually touching Belleron.
The referee saw clearly what happened.
However, the fans did not see it, and even if the scene was replayed in slow motion, they could only see Hierro taking the kick and then quickly retracting it. However, due to the angle of the camera, Hierro could not be seen retracting it.
Did he trip over Belleron at the moment of his feet?
The broadcast cameras at this time were not as developed as they would be ten years later, and it was impossible to arrange a dozen or even dozens of cameras for analysis from multiple angles.
So, the result is that Deportivo fans are angry. They think Belleron was indeed knocked down by Hierro and this was a penalty kick!
The entire Riazor Stadium erupted in harsh boos.
Deportivo's head coach Irueta was furious on the sidelines.
Deportivo players including Mauro Silva and Pandiani rushed to the referee Esquero to protest the penalty. They believed that the referee had blown away one of their penalty kicks.
***********
At this time, the angry Deportivo people did not notice that the game was not interrupted and the game continued.
Belleron fell to the ground.
Hierro subconsciously looked at the referee, and then he saw the referee waving his hand. He breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, the experienced Spanish veteran passed the football directly.
Marcos got the ball. He didn't let the ball stay with him, but passed the ball directly to Albertini.
On the sidelines, Li Ang's heart finally dropped when he saw the referee waving his hand to indicate that there was no penalty kick. Then his eyes widened and he was ecstatic: looking at the Deportivo people, some were rushing towards the referee.
The referees protested angrily. Some subconsciously looked at their head coach on the sidelines, while others stood still.
This is the perfect opportunity to fight back!
Then, Li Ang saw the experienced Hierro take the football out of Rulin's penalty area without any hesitation!
Fight back!
This is the role of experienced veterans. If a young man is in a hurry, he may kick the football out of the sideline first, causing a dead ball and relieving the pressure. However, Hierro keenly grasped that this was a good opportunity to counterattack, and
take actions!
***********
Albertini received the pass from Marcos. He took two steps and found that Deportivo's defense system had not yet been established. It was very chaotic. Some people were assisting in front, some were rushing back to defend, and there were still people there.
Protest around the referee...
At first glance, Deportivo's backcourt can be said to be filled with countless spaces!
Albertini made a prompt decision and did not choose to continue dribbling. Instead, he distributed the ball to the wing.
There were no Deportivo defenders there.
It can be said that the sea and the sky are vast!
Modric ran forward desperately. The Croatian teenager was not very fast, but Albertini's pass was so comfortable...it directly tore apart Deportivo's central defense. He did not need to compete with others for speed.
, and the football is passed in front of him, which is enough for him to increase his speed without the ball.
"Go back to defense!" Deportivo head coach Irueta's face changed drastically and he rushed to the sidelines and shouted.
"Hurry up and get back on defense!" Deportivo center back Andrade yelled, looking anxious.
***********
Deportivo's left back Capdrella was still in front and did not defend in place, so the ball had to be filled by the center back.
Anxious, Andrade yelled for his teammates to return to defense. While continuing to wave his teammates to return to defense, Andrade strode towards the wing. Halfway through, Andrade gave up his attempt to directly grab the ball.
He chose to run diagonally along the path of the ball. The purpose was to block the inside line. With this choice, as long as he can successfully block Modric and prevent the opponent from directly breaking through. This can delay Sporting Gijon's counterattack.
A successful defense!
All he has to do is delay the opponent's attack time!
Andrade and Carvalho are the main central defender combination of the Portuguese national team at this time. This player has very rich strength and game experience. His choice this time is extremely correct.
However, what Andrade didn't expect was that Modric didn't even think about cutting into the penalty area, because he knew that breaking through was not his strength!
Modric controlled the ball, and he steadily let the football roll more than one meter in front of him. Then he made a fake move to break through, causing Andrade to retreat a little to make room.
He went around the outside and made a direct pass!
Modric's cross was at an excellent level, bringing out the best of the Croatian youngster: his cross was of excellent quality, very fast, and had an obvious arc. The football was almost close to the ball at the beginning.
The bottom line came flying, and it looked like it was heading for the goal. Then when it approached the goal, there was an obvious turning trajectory. The football bypassed the control range of Deportivo goalkeeper Molina in front of the goal, but it was
Flying to the rear point.
Deportivo's goalkeeper Molina was a little confused about the arc change of the cross. He quickly moved to his right, looked up at the same time, and saw a shadow coming from the sky!
***********
"Diego Milito!" the commentator shouted in a long voice.
When the Argentine striker rushed to the goal, he squeezed away Martin Cesar who turned around hastily to defend him personally. He exerted force on his waist and abdomen and slammed his head down in the air!!
Milito showed the instinct of an excellent shooter: This is the most correct way to shoot. If the distance is too close to the goal, the biggest result of shaking the head is to push the football up. Only by hitting it downward can the football be hit into the goal!
The football was smashed into the goal by Milito and hit the net.
Then, the Argentinian striker who landed collided with Deportivo goalkeeper Molina, and they fell into the goal together. Looking at the football in the goal, Milito's eyes were full of excitement, and he pushed away Mo Li who was pressing on him.
Reina staggered up and started running.
Run with arms spread wide!
On the sidelines, Sporting Gijon's head coach Li Ang clenched a fist and waved it to the sky.
