Chapter 138: Reason for Calmness
Manchester City players were originally very dissatisfied with Busquets' foul, but the referee had no words and just verbal warnings, which ignited the anger in their hearts. They rushed up to surround the referee and wanted to ask for an explanation.
But they were all persuaded by Rongguang.
"Okay, there's no need, it's not a big deal." Rongguang pulled away and questioned the referee's teammate David Silva.
David Silva turned his head and widened his eyes and looked at Rongguang: "How can this not be a big deal? You almost went in and you could shoot directly."
He shouted, Could it be that Rongguang fell to the ground and kowtowed his head and broke his head?
Rongguang just smiled and then pulled other teammates. It is really meaningless to yell at the referee. Apart from adding a yellow card to yourself, it does not help solve the problem. But in fact, players in the game are easy to do this. Because in the fierce confrontation, people's emotions are easy to be excited, and when they are excited, they naturally don't care about so much. It is most important to vent their emotions.
So it is so important to keep your mind clear all the time during the game...
But emotional people often have difficulty understanding what those calm-headed people do at this time.
For example, David Silva is now looking at the glory incredible way.
Why is he not in a hurry at all?
We are facing Barcelona at home
It's the defending champion Barcelona
He finally had a chance to score, why was he not in a hurry at all?
Shouldn't we put pressure on the referee at this time?
Even if he didn't give a card for this foul, he would have to let him know that this is Manchester City's home court. Next time Barcelona players play these tricks, they must not let them go easily.
Of course David Silva knew that it was impossible for the referee to immediately give Busquets a yellow card or a red card, but it would be fine in the future
He didn't believe that Glory would not understand this, but why was he not in a hurry?
I don't understand why Rongguang did this, not only David Silva, but also other Manchester City players. All Manchester City players who were pulled away by Rongguang from the referee were surprised to look at Rongguang.
They don't understand why Rongguang is so easy to talk to.
Was he so scared by Barcelona that he was no longer motivated?
Impossible. Glory is not that kind of person.
※※※
On the other side, Busquetts was proud of his escape. He rushed into his teammates and blinked.
He was surprised that he didn't even get a yellow card for the foul this time, but he would definitely not take the initiative to ask the referee for a yellow card. If the referee didn't give him it, it would be that he made a profit, no matter what the reason.
The other Barcelona players were also happy that the crisis was lifted, and they were obviously relieved.
But the deceased fan of Glory Iniesta frowned, and Messi also had a serious expression.
When Busquets saw these two people's expressions like this, he was a little surprised: "What's wrong? We haven't lost the ball yet. I don't even have a card. This time I can earn..."
But Iniesta shook his head: "I don't think so, Sergio. Don't be too happy too early."
"Why?" Busquets spread his hands, looking puzzled.
"Didn't you check the location before the foul?" Messi next to him asked him.
Busquets turned his head and looked at the place where he was fouled. He saw Rong Guang bent down to place the football
He suddenly realized that he gave Rongguang a direct free kick opportunity more than 20 meters away from the goal
Although Glory's free kick scores only account for a small part of his total goals, this does not mean that Glory's free kick is not good, it's just that he has no place to score with a free kick.
Just opposite the goal, Rongguang got a free kick. What would he do?
Busquets felt a little scared at this time, but his mouth was quite hard: "How can you be that accurate? You can score the first free kick? The free kick rate will not be so high, okay..."
Messi shrugged, that's what he said, but glory...
Iniesta seemed particularly firm and pious in his belief in glory. He shook his head: "No, never look at glory with general rules. In short, this time the wall of people must be built."
After saying that, he ran back.
Busquets was stunned for a moment and ran back to participate in the construction of the human wall.
He is 1.9 meters tall, so it is very useful to build a wall of people.
Of course he knew how powerful Glory's free kick was, but it was too late to say what shouldn't be a foul.
The only thing he can do is to block Glory's shot from the wall and carry his defense to the end. Otherwise, even if he used a foul to block Glory's breakthrough, if Glory uses a free kick to break Barcelona's goal, then his defense will ultimately fail.
※※※
Barcelona is building a wall of people very nervously, and everyone at Manchester City understands why Glory seems so calm.
Because Busquets' foul location is so considerate... It is estimated that the distance from the goal is no more than 28 meters, facing the goal. This place is so easy for Rongguang to play a free kick. He scored many free kicks at this position during his usual training...
David Silva was not in a hurry.
He ran into the penalty area and helped Rong Guang disturb Barcelona's defensive players.
But in fact, he also knew that this was meaningless. Barcelona's defensive players must be focused on Glory at this time. Unless they ran to goalkeeper Valdes and wandered around, it would be useless.
Most of the time, he was just a spectator watching Rongguang's performance. Rongguang kicked out and scored a goal, he would cheer up. If he couldn't score, he had no choice.
※※※
Glory soon put the football on.
This place is too close to the goal, so he does not intend to play the elevator ball, but plans to use his left foot arc ball.
So when he placed the football, he did not deliberately aim the valve core of the football at the point where he played the football.
After setting up the football, he got up and retreated.
Unlike the elevator ball, he forms an angle with the football and the goal. This is the starting sign of the left-foot arc ball. If it is an elevator ball, then there should be a straight line between him and the football and the goal, without an angle.
The opponent's defensive player can judge from the position of Glory what kind of free kick he will use.
But this is useless. Even if you know how Glory will play, sometimes you still can't defend him. Just like everyone knows that Beckham must be a free kick with a right foot curve ball, but his free kick is a win.
Rongguang is not afraid that others will know how he wants to play a free kick.
After he set up the football, he quietly waited for Barcelona players to set up the wall.
Barcelona attaches great importance to Glory's free kicks. They lined up a wall of up to six people. In addition to the goalkeeper, there were three people elsewhere, including Messi who was preparing to counterattack in the front.
So in fact, most of the penalty area are Manchester City players, and Barcelona's people are all in the wall.
This is the free kick threat of Glory.
No one dared to underestimate him.
Not only does Barcelona have a lot of people standing on the wall, but their walls are also in a relatively high position.
According to regulations, the human wall should be 9.15 meters away from the football, which is ten yards, but the Barcelona players were slow to move forward for nearly half a meter.
Of course, their small move was reported to the referee by Manchester City players. The referee signaled them to retreat, and in front of the referee, they did retreat. However, as soon as the referee turned around, they moved up again, even further forward than before.
Manchester City players pointed at them and shouted at the referee.
The referee came up to correct their position again, while Barcelona's human wall complained while slowly retreating. After retreating a little distance, he never moved again.
Manchester City players naturally protested to the referee again.
However, the referee was too lazy to pay attention to it. If he had to continue to grind like this, he would not be able to kick the free kick for another three minutes.
So he ignored the protests of Manchester City players and blew the whistle in his mouth.
※※※
While Barcelona's wall was fighting wits and courage, Rong Guang stood quietly in front of the football and looked at them. He did not protest to the referee like his teammates.
Because he thinks that there is no meaning, if you protest, Barcelona may not be obedient. The facts prove that he is correct. Barcelona's human walls are ultimately shorter than the prescribed distance.
So protesting is meaningless except wasting time.
On the other hand, the quietness of glory is also because he is very confident in himself.
Free kick practice is the top priority of his current training content.
In the training base, at your own home, Rongguang will spend a lot of time practicing free kicks. Because free kicks are a skill that requires a lot of repetition to maintain state and feel of feet. If you want to make your free kicks useful at any time in the game, then the amount of training you usually have to ensure. Once you haven't practiced for a week, you will feel unfamiliar with your feet when you kick a free kick again.
The referee's whistle sounded.
Rongguang runs up, and after two steps, he kicks the football with his left foot, and the inner instep contacts and pulls the football, creating a huge friction.
Footballs are flying in the air with very strong rotation
Next, the human wall in Barcelona jumped up hard, and everyone stretched their necks in the air, as if they were being pulled up with their heads.
Especially Busquets, who was already 1.9 meters tall, jumped up hard and stretched his neck and looked taller.
He and Pique are the highest in the wall and the highest in Barcelona team. They are both responsible for blocking this ball.
When Busquets saw the football flying towards him, he was delighted. What he was most worried about before was that the football played by Rong Guang would specifically find short Barcelona players, such as Iniesta and Xavi. Then no matter how high he jumped, it would be useless.
Now, football is coming towards his forehead
This ball is mine
Busquets straightened his waist in the air, trying to get himself up a little further.
He looks forward to pushing the football out with his forehead.
But he didn't stop anything.
He felt a gust of wind pass through his scalp...
