Although there are still ten minutes left in the game, Rijkaard knows that Barcelona has already lost this game. With the state of Sporting Gijon, it will be difficult for Barcelona to score two goals in a row in ten minutes.
It's difficult.
However, although he had predicted the outcome of the defeat in his heart, as the head coach, Rijkaard could not admit defeat in the slightest. The Dutch head coach walked to the sidelines and kept waving his arms.
Scream loudly and ask your players not to think about conceding the ball and to seize the time to play!
Rijkaard pointed to the watch on his wrist, and then raised two fingers!
Meaning, there are still ten minutes left, two balls!
In this way, he expressed his trust in the players and encouraged them not to give up the game.
In Rijkaard's heart, he doesn't have much hope for equalizing the score, but he still has expectations in his heart. He hopes that the team can score another goal and reduce the score as much as possible.
I hope the team can fight until the last second. Even if the proud Barcelona falls, it should be on the way to the charge!
However, Rijkaard ignored one point. After falling behind Sporting Gijon by two goals, the mentality of Barcelona's players was already unbalanced. Before this game, they had just defeated Serie A giant AC Milan in the Champions League. In the league
They easily defeated Real Madrid. They are known as the most beautiful team in Europe. How high-spirited they are!
In today's game, they had the absolute initiative on the field. They had the upper hand in the number of shots, the better ball control, and the better passing success rate. All data were better than their opponents. However, the current score allowed
They cannot accept it.
Barcelona's players started to get impatient.
***********
The physical contact between players from both sides also began to become more frequent, and it was different from ordinary physical contact. It seemed as if both sides were playing football with anger every time.
Iniesta was dribbling the ball, and Modric came up and made a tackle, knocking Modric down with the ball.
Barcelona players protested, thinking Modric had committed a foul, but the referee ignored it and signaled the game to continue without a foul.
Sporting Gijon counterattacked, with Di Natale and Benzema cooperating. The latter was pushed to the ground by Belletti after passing the football to Di Natale.
The referee also did not whistle the penalty, he indicated that the offense was favorable.
However, in the blink of an eye, Di Natale's pass was intercepted and Barcelona counterattacked.
It stands to reason that at this time, the referee should have stopped the game and verbally warned Belletti, who had committed the foul before, or even directly shown a yellow card. However, the referee did not make a penalty and allowed the game to continue.
"Perhaps the referee did not want to disrupt the smooth rhythm of the game, but obviously he made a mistake." After the game, "El Pais" commented on the referee's performance.
Ronaldinho directly passed the ball to Eto'o, but when Eto'o ran forward, the football was passed behind him. Ivanovic cleverly stepped forward to steal the ball, and then he planned to pass the ball to instigate the ball.
A counterattack, and the next second you saw the night sky of Camp Nou!
Eto'o counterattacked fiercely and directly knocked Ivanovic to the ground.
***********
This time the referee's whistle finally sounded.
The Barcelona players rushed to the referee. They were protesting. Of course, what they were protesting was not Eto'o's foul. They were protesting Modric's previous foul on Iniesta. Their memories are really good.
Belletti fouled Benzema's push and continued to move forward one square.
However, they collectively changed their goal halfway through and ran towards the top of Sporting Gijon's penalty area, where Eto'o fouled Ivanovic just now.
There, Carlos and Eto'o had a fierce conflict. The former grabbed the latter's neck, and the latter did the same thing. The two were like angry bulls, raising their horns and breathing hot air, eager to go up against him.
Turn each other over.
"Ah! Look what happened! Juan Carlos and Eto'o had a fierce conflict!"
Van Bronckhorst stepped forward with an assist just now. He was very close to this side. When he saw Carlos and Eto'o holding each other's necks, he came up and pushed Carlos. "Asshole, let go of your hand!"
Pepe was also very close to here. He saw that Carlos had suffered a loss, and he and Van Bronckhorst had faced each other several times today, which was considered a grudge. Finally, he found a chance to take revenge. He slapped Van Bronckhorst.
Khorst's mouth said: "Hey! Bastard! Your opponent is me!"
Originally, Carlos and Eto'o just strangled each other's necks, which was not a big deal. However, Van Bronckhorst pushed Carlos and followed up with Pepe's slap, which directly detonated everything!
***********
Players from both sides have already become angry. Sporting Gijon’s side is due to the arrogance of the Barcelona players before the game and the relative favoritism of the referee towards the home team today.
As for Barcelona, it was a frustrating and frustrating game, and they kept suppressing their anger.
The two sides are like a powder keg that only needs a spark to explode, and Eto'o's flagrant foul on Ivanovic just now completely detonated it all.
Seeing that Pepe actually dared to take action directly, the other Barcelona players quit and more people gathered around. Naturally, the Sporting Gijon players could not watch their own people suffer. The two sides were in chaos.
"Hey! Stop it!" Someone yelled while secretly punching someone from behind.
"Damn it! If you can't win, just do it!"
"Hit them!"
"Hey hey hey, boy, look here!"
"What do you want?"
"Pull them away from me!"
Players from both sides rushed into a group, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Huge boos erupted from the stands, with fans from both sides booing. During this period, coins, lighters and other debris fell from the sky, but unfortunately there were no pig heads.
The police and security guards at the scene were as if they were facing a formidable enemy, fearing that the fans from both sides would start a direct war, which would be terrible...
***********
Sporting Gijon's captain Hierro and team deputy Albertini were worriedly asking about Ivanovic's injury. It seemed that the Serbian and Montenegrin defender was seriously injured.
At this time, they heard the movement over there. The two captains looked up and saw a scene that stunned them: Why is there a fight?!
"Carlos blocked Eto'o with one hand and actually punched Oleg. Tsk tsk, Eto'o is not bad either. He finally took the opportunity to break free and kicked Carlos... Carlos was chasing Eto'o.
Tuo'o, he was stopped by Oleg..." When the Madrid commentator saw this scene, he was so happy that he explained it with gusto. If he wasn't afraid of causing trouble, he would have wanted to shout, "Good fight, good fight.
It's wonderful'!
Barcelona has been Real Madrid's mortal enemy for centuries. Real Madrid dreams of always keeping Barcelona under their feet.
Sporting Gijon is Real Madrid's new enemy. This newly promoted team has humiliated Real Madrid many times in a row. It can be said that Sporting Gijon is definitely among the top teams that Real Madrid wants to win!
What's more, the rankings and points of these two teams are much higher than that of Real Madrid. Real Madrid wishes that both teams would be banned... That way, they can enjoy the benefits of being a free agent.
***********
Li Ang was stunned when he saw this scene on the sidelines.
Then he rushed to the sidelines angrily and shouted, "Pull them away! Fernando! Demi! Pull them away!"
Rijkaard, who was also livid, jumped to his feet and shouted anxiously on the sidelines, "Separate them! Separate them!"
It's a pity that the people in the stadium were so excited that they couldn't hear what they were shouting. Both sides had only one idea in their minds, to teach the bastard in front of them a lesson. The captains of the two teams tried their best to block and pull people away, but for a moment,
They can't be separated from each other.
"Shit! Bastard! Bastard!" Rijkaard roared angrily and swore.
"Grandma!" Li Ang cursed through gritted teeth.
They were not scolding each other's players, they were scolding their own players. The first thing that came to their minds at this time was the proud smile of the Real Madrid man.
Then the two head coaches looked at each other almost at the same time, snorted coldly at the same time, and strode towards each other...
The commentators were all dumbfounded. What was going on? Could it be that the younger guys were fighting on the court, but the bosses on the sidelines also had to fight hand-to-hand?
