Chapter 392 The overall situation has been set for March ticket support
In the 69th minute of the game, Valencia got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
Aimar's penalty shot flew into the penalty area, Angulo's header was weak, and the football was steadily picked up in the air by Sporting Gijon goalkeeper Valencia.
Then, Valencia immediately launched a quick counterattack by throwing the ball.
The goalkeeper of Sporting Gijon threw the ball very far, almost directly through the midfield. In the absence of Mata due to injury, Franck Ribery was Sporting Gijon's first weapon in the counterattack. He received the ball.
"Ribery received the ball and unloaded it very beautifully! Di Natale was preparing to receive it..."
Of course Ribery saw Di Natale, but he did not pass the ball to Di Natale because the Valencia players also saw Di Natale.
Marchena is following Di Natale. If he passes the ball, it will make it difficult for Di Natale. He has his back to the direction of attack and can hardly turn around under Marchena's guard. This is irresponsible.
The pass is also a pass that meets the expectations of the Valencians.
You can't pass the ball like this. Ribery knows that he is the ball holder now. Whether Sporting Gijon's counterattack can succeed depends on him!
Then, he saw Modric pushing forward. The latter seemed to have seen Ribery's predicament, and he ran diagonally over!
Just when the two were about to cross, Ribery passed the football to Modric who was running diagonally, and then he ran to the right without the ball. He and Modric completed a left-right switch.
Valencia's defense is retreating quickly, but several players on the front line are not returning to defense very quickly. After all, they are offensive players, not defensive players. Asking them to return to defense immediately after losing the ball... is a bit difficult.
The Valencia players thought that Modric would continue to take the ball to the left after receiving the ball. However, they did not expect that Modric took two steps, braked suddenly, turned around, and passed the football to the running back.
Franck Ribery.
Modric knew that speed was not his strong point. He came here just to help Ribery with the ball. In the end, he handed over the responsibility of counterattack to Ribery!
*************
"Beautiful! Sporting Gijon's counterattack was not panicked, it was a very clear idea!" D'Agostino applauded Ribery and Modric's small-scale passing and cutting cooperation.
Ribery did not continue to dribble the ball to the right, but adjusted his direction while receiving the ball, facing the Valencia goal head-on!
Due to the cross-positioning between him and Modric, there was no one around him to mark him for the time being.
Ribery glanced behind him. Baraja was some distance away from him. It was impossible for him to give up the current offensive opportunity just to deal with Baraja. Therefore, the unguarded French youth made another move in Valencia.
Before defender Torres came up, he suddenly knocked the football horizontally!
Di Natale followed up and hit the football with a long shot!
“High quality long shot!”
The football came roaring, but Canizares did not dare to catch it hard, so he could only stand up and hit the ball with both fists.
The football played by Canizares fell to the left side of the court. After receiving it, Modric passed the ball without hesitation. However, when he passed the ball, the football was touched by Carboni who was returning to defend.
, the football jumped up and flew towards the frontcourt.
Di Natale lost the battle with Marchena. The Valencia center back pushed the football forward hard, hoping to let the returning Divayo or Aimar get it.
Once they get the ball, Valencia can take advantage of the situation and counterattack Sporting Gijon.
Di Vayo, who was brought to Valencia by Italian veteran Ranieri, was more proactive. He ran back to catch the ball and was even ready to stop the ball with his chest.
*************
"Luka Modric!" the commentator exclaimed.
Diwayo, who had already made preparations to stop the ball, suddenly saw a black shadow suddenly appear beside him from behind, and it appeared from the air...
Modric, who was not very tall, flew in the air. His ability to stay in the air was amazing. He stretched his head forward, got ahead of Di Vayo, and pushed the football back hard with his head.
Football is back in the Valencia half!
Di Natale came out of the penalty area to catch the ball. His back was to the goal. It was difficult to turn around under Marchena's pressure, so he knocked the ball directly to the wing.
Ribery takes the ball!
When Ribery received the ball, he had already returned to the left wing where he is good at. He was originally going to cut in laterally and look for a shooting opportunity. At this time, he saw someone returning to defend not far from him.
At this time, Ribery could have acted in advance to avoid this person, but he did not do that because this person was Baraja!
However, one person saw that Ribery did not continue his action. Although he did not know why Ribery was distracted, this was a good opportunity to steal the ball.
This is Navarro, he rushes towards Ribery!
Faced with this man's attack, Ribery easily and freely made a fake move of breaking through in a straight line, and deceived Carboni - he did not really break through directly, but took advantage of Carboni to shift his focus towards the goal.
During the transfer, he suddenly moved the football to the middle and cut inside!
*************
What is the most likely and best thing that a wide attacker like Ribery can do after suddenly cutting inside and getting out of the way?
"Watch out for his shot!" Canizares shouted.
As if to cooperate with Canizares, Ribery raised his left leg while running horizontally. He wanted to shoot!
Baraja finally had the replay in place at this time. He saw Ribery was about to take a long shot and rushed forward desperately. He fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle, and the target was the football at Ribery's feet.
'Hi, you're here!'
Ribery saw Baraja out of the corner of his eye. He didn't shoot, but passed the football out. It didn't matter who he passed it to. The important thing was that after Ribery passed the ball, he didn't have time to retract his left foot.
In other words, when the left foot was lowered, it was almost caught by the spikes that were fully exposed when Barahana's legs were off the ground!
Then, everyone heard Ribery scream and fell less than one meter outside the Valencia penalty area!!
El Molinon gasped, and then roared at the same time: "Penalty kick!!"
The same voice came from the Sporting Gijon bench.
Li Ang stood up directly and rushed to the sidelines, planning to celebrate. From his position, it was difficult to see clearly whether Baraja's foul was in the penalty area or outside the penalty area. Therefore, Li Ang was not sure whether it was a penalty kick or not.
The reason for his excitement is that whether it is in the penalty area or outside the penalty area, Baraja's tackle from the side and behind is a big move and the foul location is dangerous. A yellow card cannot escape.
Baraja already has a yellow card. If he gets another yellow card, it means that two yellow cards will become one red and he will be sent off!
*************
as expected!
The referee blew his whistle and ran over.
His gesture was very clear, it was not a penalty kick, it was a foul outside the penalty area, just a free kick.
Sporting Gijon fans in the stands burst into boos. They didn’t care about anything else. The fans felt that this should be a foul in the penalty area and a penalty kick. The referee did not award a penalty kick, which is wrong!
Valencia's players breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't just a penalty kick, the referee knew everything!
But then they thought of something and their expressions changed drastically.
Sure enough, everyone saw that the referee was holding a yellow card in his hand, and then he flashed it towards Baraja!
Then, he took out another red card from his pocket!
Show your light to Baraja again!
Then the referee pointed to the sidelines: Please leave the field!
Baraja's face turned pale at this moment, and his brain was a little down. The task given to him by head coach Ranieri was to get Carlos off the field. However, now he was taken off the field by the Gijon. This contrasting situation made
His mind is a little blank...
The referee pointed to the sidelines again, meaning to leave the field quickly.
Valencia's players quickly gathered around to plead for Baraja.
*************
On the sidelines, Li Ang clenched his fists and waved hard. It was impossible for the referee to change the decision. Baraja's foul was too obvious. This player can leave the field now and go to the locker room to take a shower in advance!
"The overall situation has been decided!" Li Ang turned his head and said to assistant coach Banderas.
Yes, Baraja was sent off, one of Valencia's double midfielder combinations was eliminated, and there will be loopholes in their defense. At the same time, Valencia's offense will also be greatly affected, as
He said that this penalty will completely tilt the balance of victory towards Sporting Gijon!
The overall situation is decided!
