John Motson kept saying during slow-motion replays that this was not a foul and that he should not be given a red card at all.

He thought this was Busquets' fake fall, and the referee should give Busquets a yellow card.

But he said that these were useless because the referee did not listen to him in his judgment, nor would he refer to the slow-motion replay of live TV broadcasts.

John Motson severely rebuked Busquets' behavior: "He is a very smart player, very talented and has a bright future. But the scene he performed in the game today will become a permanent stain on his career when people mention him in the future, they will not forget his outstanding performance today.

Alan Hansen was also very disgusted with Busquets' approach: "Where did this happen when we played football? Nowadays, the players are becoming more and more sissy... I thought of the game in last year's Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona's away challenge to Chelsea... Why does Barcelona pay attention to many controversial topics related to punishments?"

In front of the TV, those Manchester City fans who were unable to cheer on the spot were also waving their fists and kept shouting and scolding at the TV screen.

All kinds of swear words that are unpleasant.

If Busquets suddenly traveled from the court to the bar where Manchester City fans gathered at this time, he would probably be torn to pieces by these angry Manchester City fans...

※※※

But whether it is the commentator condemnation or the Manchester City fans scolding it.

It could not change the final penalty, and Sneijder still ended.

Now John Motterson is starting to worry about Manchester City's future again.

"...I thought Manchester City had the upper hand before this, and Barcelona was a little anxious. But now that there is one person missing and I have suffered a misjudgment, I am worried about Manchester City. I don't know if Manchester City players will be affected by this penalty, I can only hope that they will try not to be affected by the referee's penalty... try..."

"It's hard not to be taken." Alan Hansen poured cold water. "This penalty not only made Manchester City lose one person on the court, but also affected Manchester City's fighting spirit. The next step is either the Manchester City players are impatient and frequently fouled, giving Barcelona more opportunities to perform their acting skills, or Manchester City and your players are depressed and absent-minded... No matter which one is, it's not good. Fortunately, we led two goals in the first leg. If I were Benitez, I would adjust my tactics and recycle the remaining nearly an hour of the game. Even if I lost the ball, don't lose the second goal. In this way, the total score B2 can still win...

"But the game is nearly an hour away. During this period, Barcelona, ​​who plays at home, will definitely try their best to score goals... Besides, they have a home advantage..." John Motterson said it was rather obscure, and did not directly say that Barcelona was still under the care of the referee.

But Alan Hansen doesn't care about that much, he said: "Yes, the situation is very serious. Manchester City players not only have to fight against Barcelona, ​​but also have to be wary of the referee."

※※※

After the game restarted, the concerns of the two commentators became a reality, and Manchester City players were obviously affected by this penalty.

Many players were not in the form of the subsequent games. Some were in a state of mind, while others were absent-minded.

In the previous conflict, in addition to Sneijder being sent off by a red card, Gareth Barry and Leiden Barnes also received a yellow card respectively.

They are all defensive players, and it is very unfavorable for them to receive yellow cards, which directly affects their defensive performance in the next game.

Because this will make them afraid of their heads and moves in defense. When they face players like Messi, it is very dangerous to not dare to do their best in defense.

Fortunately, there is not much time left in the first half, otherwise Barcelona would have taken this opportunity to score a goal.

There were as many as five minutes of injury time in the first half because of that conflict.

Manchester City did shrink and defend as Alan Hansen said, and kept defending until the end of the first half.

In the first half, neither side scored a goal, but a red card and four yellow cards were born, including three on Manchester City and one on Barcelona. In addition to the two yellow cards he received in the conflict, Manchester City also received a yellow card in defense.

Although there was no goal, the Barcelona players did not seem to be in a hurry. When they left the court, their faces were relaxed and they were full of confidence in the second half.

Yes, they make sense that they are so easy, and they have one more player at home, and there are a full forty-five minutes in the second half, so they can recover the gap between the two goals.

Now it seems that eliminating Manchester City is no longer an unrealized daydream.

The situation is good for them

On the other hand, the players' expressions when they left the court were wrong.

Some people walked quickly with their heads down and were frustrated, while others tried to find the referee to argue for the penalty, and they were a little excited.

If Glory hadn't come up and pulled them apart, I would have to be given a yellow card again.

After Rongguang pulled away his emotional teammates, he did not ask the referee to discuss the penalty.

He is very sure of one thing now, this is Barcelona's home court, so it's useless to say more to the referee.

They will not change the penalty they have made, and there is no point in competing with the referee. Manchester City's opponent is Barcelona, ​​not the referee.

※※※

Back in the locker room, Manchester City players were still very upset because of the penalty in the first half. They pulled their teammates to discuss with each other, and the discussion was in full swing.

Someone else went to comfort Sneider.

If Manchester City loses and is eliminated, it will definitely be a huge blow to Sneijder.

However, Sneider's emotions seemed to have calmed down, and he dealt with it properly in the face of his teammates' comfort.

Then he looked at the glory.

"You can keep your word, right?"

He asked.

Rong Guang nodded: "Of course. Do you remember what I said I wanted to do the Avengers?"

Sneider smiled when he heard this. The reason why Glory asked him to come to Manchester City was to ask him to come to Manchester City as an Avenger and avenge Real Madrid.

Unexpectedly, I successfully took revenge in my first season at Manchester City.

So Rongguang must be able to keep his word.

There is nothing to worry about.

Just when everyone was having a heated discussion, the team's head coach Benitez was the last one to come in.

Benitez was also angry at the first half of the penalty, but as the head coach, he still maintained a certain degree of calm.

After coming in, he closed the door and slapped hard.

Everyone stopped discussing and turned to look at him.

"Forget the things in the first half, let's calm down. You must know that we are two goals ahead of the total score. As long as we don't lose our own way, we can eliminate them. In the second half, we have to adjust our tactics, but not much. Most of the time we have to defend, yes, all have to counter-defense. Even Rong..." Benitez looked at Rongguang. "Rong, you have to come back to participate in the defense, because we have one less person in the defense, so you have to come back."

Rongguang nodded and accepted the arrangements of the head coach.

"Very good. The most important thing in the second half is not skills and tactics, but psychology. I don't think that fewer people are necessarily a disadvantage. There is no law in football that says that a team with one more person can definitely defeat a team with one less person. Even if the winning rate is 99%, then one percent is not, and we are that one percent."

Benitez actually always looked at glory when he said this.

He knew very well that if one person was missing or if he played Barcelona away, the forty-five minutes in the second half was very dangerous for the team. Whether Manchester City could really eliminate Barcelona and maintain the lead in the overall score was very important.

This person is the person he is looking at now.

No matter when, this person is always the most trustworthy person.

Benitez asked Glory to return to defense, but he also had more expectations for Glory.

But he didn't need to say much, he knew Glory knew how to do it.

※※※

In the locker room in Barcelona, ​​everyone was very sympathetic and no one mentioned the conflict in the first half, as if this incident had never happened at all.

Guardiola reminded players in the locker room not to be too optimistic and not to think that one more person will definitely win.

"We have to seize the time, forty-five minutes, and the time left for us is only forty-five minutes. Forty-five minutes two goals are difficult or not, but simple. If we can score a goal just at the beginning of the second half, the second goal will come easily and quickly. If we are still 00 in the seventy-fifth minute, then our opponents will be more confident in the defense... They are one less person than us, so they will definitely shrink their defense in the second half. But I believe you, I believe you have the ability to break their defense..."

Yes, Barcelona is not afraid of teams that shrink their defense. What they are afraid of is high-pressing.

If Manchester City gives Barcelona too much space, even if they stuff everyone into the 30-meter area, it will still not be able to stop Barcelona. Because Barcelona has a world-class passer master Xavi, a Messi who is very good at breaking through and has super personal abilities, and Iniesta who can pass the ball like Xavi and break through like Messi, although his abilities are slightly inferior to those in both aspects.

Such a team has very strong offensive ability, and Guardiola is very confident in the team he trained.

Unless Manchester City can fill every square meter in the thirty-meter area with people, that is obviously impossible.

Before the second half of the game began, both sides walked back into the stadium from the passage.

In this process, players from the two teams inevitably meet.

Although Benitez and his efforts to calm everyone down, how could it be so easy to calm down?

Especially after seeing Busquets.

Gareth Barry couldn't help but want to go to Busquets to argue again.

But when he just missed his team, the Barcelona player staring at him immediately stood in front of him.

When Manchester City players saw that they did this, they were afraid that Barry would be bullied, so they quickly stood up and kicked Barry to support the game.

This was like a chain reaction, and soon half of the team was almost pulled in.

The staff in the passage had to participate in the isolation of the two teams... At this time, we saw how wise it was when Real Madrid's home court, the Bernabeu, when designing the passage - the player passage at the Bernabeu Stadium was separated by a wall in the middle.

In this way, players on both sides will not have direct contact, which will avoid some troubles.

In the end, with the help of rational players and staff in both teams, physical conflicts did not occur, but verbal provocations were indispensable.

Manchester City pointed at Busquets and scolded "liar" and "joker", while Barcelona players scolded Manchester City players and asked them to shut up.

As a brainless fan of Rongguang, Iniesta has a good relationship with Rongguang, so he has come forward to do things and work hard. As the captain of the team, Rongguang naturally needs to keep everyone calm.

Finally, before leaving the passage, the conflict subsided.

Iniesta and Rong Guang walked onto the court shoulder to shoulder, and the two were still communicating with each other, but they both covered their mouths with their hands. This was to prevent the camera from being photographed, otherwise the TV station could ask the lip-interpretation expert to interpret what they said and restore every word they said.

There are some words that players do not want the media to know, nor do they want ordinary fans to hear.

"I understand your mood, Rong. But this is a game, and I hope you can understand..." Iniesta really doesn't know what to say. He knew very well that Busquets did have the performance elements and exaggerated his reaction after physical contact. However, Barcelona is under a lot of pressure now and must advance to the semi-finals, so Busquets did this for the team. As the third captain of the team, it is really hard to say anything.

Rong Guang nodded with great magnitude: "I know. This is a game."

Iniesta was relieved to see Glory so easy to speak.

But then he heard "but".

"So Andre, I won't show mercy in this game. When Sneijder came off, I promised him that the team would advance to the semi-finals. So I'm very embarrassed, I hope you understand." Rongguang said.
Chapter completed!
