Chapter 97 Reversal
A general does not mean dead chess. But dead chess must be a general.
Lin Sen, standing on the sidelines, didn't know if Garmes had really made a handball foul in the penalty area. From his perspective, he couldn't see clearly what happened in the chaotic penalty area at that time. He only knew that before the referee blew the whistle, Henry, who shot or Barcelona players who were still in the penalty area, couldn't wait to raise their hands and turn around to look for the referee, and some even made a thug gesture. After the referee blew the whistle and pointed his hand at the penalty spot, both Godia, who had witnessed everything, or other nearby Malaga players, surrounded the referee with excitement.
However, Lin Sen still noticed a detail, that is, as the first party, Games was not the first person to rush up to find the referee, but was stunned for a moment before going up to appeal to the referee.
Why are you stunned for a moment?
In Lin Sen's opinion, there are only two possibilities, one is guilty and the other is innocent. Lin Sen thought that the probability of the former was higher than the latter, because Lin Sen could not understand Malaga's captain. If it was purely innocent, what would you joke about the loss of mind at this time? But if it was just so guilty, Lin Sen seemed a little unwilling to give up. Naturally, there were previous doubts about the referee, but obviously, before seeing the slow motion, anyone would choose to believe in the players on their side.
After all, at this time, even Lin Sen was just a person in the game. Not to mention him, even bystanders with God's perspective may not be able to tell whether the ball had committed a foul.
Fans are bystanders.
Bystanders are clear, but not all bystanders are clear.
In the second half, the stand behind the goal of Malaga was the North stand, which happened to be the stand where Barcelona fans gathered. However, they didn't understand the ball. They just saw their players raising their hands and claiming that it was a penalty kick. So, the fact is that the penalty kick is not a second possibility, and the referee's penalty was accurate. On the other side, the Malaga fans' stands had a farther vision and could not see clearly what was going on. They only knew that Malaga was awarded a penalty kick, and the damn Spanish Football Association really made a mistake! This must be a misjudgment!
Right or wrong, maybe only the slow motion of live broadcast can tell everyone the answer.
The live footage of the game played back and forth from several angles five or six times before they could see clearly.
"This penalty should be controversial, but the controversy is not that big. It is a typical judgment or not. On the one hand, Henry's shot did hit Games's hand. However, Games did not seem to leave his body, and it can be clearly seen that Games did not intend to handball, so strictly speaking, this ball should not be a penalty, but as we saw, if even we need to watch so many slow motions to figure out what happened, then the difficulty of the referee's decision can be imagined, so this ball cannot be completely said that the referee favors Barcelona. It can only be said that Malaga is not lucky."
"Actually, there is another reason, that is, the location of the foul is too sensitive. If this foul is just outside the penalty area, it may only be a verbal warning."
Whether it was He Tian or Cao Yun, while feeling sorry for Lin Sen and Malaga, they both tacitly did not say the four words that might be casually spoken in their usual commentary, which was commendable. Because in their opinion, Malaga's current performance is in line with the literal meaning of these four words, but it is not suitable for the sense that these four words often reflect. Until now, Malaga has resisted for more than 70 minutes and has almost seen the dawn of victory. You must know that the opponent is the most popular team in the entire European football world. Putting aside whether the style is pleasing or not, Malaga's efforts are beyond doubt, but it was not expected that the game would turn in this way.
If Barcelona scores a penalty, both sides will return to the same starting line. Although Malaga is still not behind in the score, everyone knows that it is almost impossible for Malaga to surpass again.
After Malaga was awarded a penalty, the fourth official on the sidelines was actually guarding against what Lin Sen would do. After all, Lin Sen had a criminal record. However, what he didn't expect was that Malaga's assistant coach Tapia was a little excited, while Lin Sen quickly calmed down. He even ran to the sidelines to shout and let the players who were still complaining around the referee quickly disperse.
Looking at Lin Sen's actions, Guardiola was a little surprised and a little solemn. What was surprised was that Lin Sen, who had always been doing his own things in the eyes of the media, did not talk about this penalty kick. What was solemn was that at this moment, Lin Sen was promoted to a strong enemy in his heart for the first time.
Guardiola has never been contemptuous of Lin Sen, because Lin Sen has indeed injected some things to Maraga this season to attract him, but it is obviously not as good as a strong opponent, because Lin Sen has a habit that is not good at least in Guardiola's opinion, that is, it is too emotional. For such emotional head coaches, there is only one who can make Guardiola a strong opponent, and that person is now in Italy. But now, the "emotional" Lin Sen was clearly very calm.
What is the most important thing Malaga should do now?
Change the referee's penalty? Not to mention that this penalty is just a controversy, even if it is a completely misjudgment, it is almost impossible to change the referee's penalty. Under this premise, Malaga players can ask the referee to express their dissatisfaction, but as the head coach, they need to even consider whether it is appropriate to add fuel to the fire.
Guardiola is very happy to see the players of Malaga continue to surround the referee. In that case, the referee will have to give Malaga a few yellow cards. You must know that at this time, four of Malaga players on the field are already carrying a yellow card. If one happens to add one, there will be no suspense in the subsequent game. Even if it is given to the players of Malaga who do not have yellow cards, with Malaga's current playing style, Lin Sen can tolerate several people on the field carrying a yellow card? Five or six?
Therefore, on the court, the stupidest thing is to be unable to get along with the referee. Lin Sen's voice was very timely. Although he failed to stop the increase of yellow cards, Bonucci, who was most excited, received a yellow card, but finally did not make the situation worse.
The chaos that lasted for nearly three minutes finally subsided.
Messi walked towards the penalty spot with a calm expression. He did not feel guilty about this penalty. Although he didn't know if it was a real penalty, he judged whether it was a penalty, not his job, and scoring a penalty was his job.
Godia looked at the successor of the King of Football, who is currently a nightmare for the La Liga goalkeeper, with anger at the misjudgment that made him psychologically not afraid of the person in front of him.
Penalty.
The pressure is not on the goalkeeper's side, but on the person who punishes the penalty kick.
Messi looks stressless, but the pressure does exist, and the difference is just how to deal with it.
If he scored this goal, he could become a hero. Barcelona took the initiative and the championship trophy is already in sight, but what if he couldn't score?
A whistle sounded.
"Messi assisted...shot!!! Oh..." He Tian's tone turned from low to high, as if his throat was moving along with Messi's footsteps. Then, when he saw that the direction of the ball shot from Messi's feet was consistent with the direction of Malaga goalkeeper Godia, he couldn't help but subconsciously exclaimed, but his voice did not stop what happened next.
"Not scored! Messi's penalty kick was saved!! Goddia got out..." One wave of delays came up again. Messi's shooting power was very strong. Godia just saved the ball, but the ball did not enter, but did not go out of bounds.
Messi, who had a very fast reaction, rushed up and shot immediately.
However, his distance was not as close as Godia. He saw Godia who had fallen to the ground turning over and pressing the ball firmly under him.
"Crazy..."
The entire stadium suddenly burst into a silence, and the silence of the north stand and the boiling of the south stands immediately formed a two-day sky of ice and fire in this stadium.
"here you go!"
“Good!”
In the box, when Messi's penalty kick was saved, Alyl and Cinderella were excited to go to the pink fist. Boya's previous words and the slow motion of the TV in the box made them completely stand on Malaga's side. Boya smiled and shook her head, sympathizing with the weak, which seemed to be a woman's nature.
"Messi failed to score a penalty! This is really surprising! Messi, who has never missed a penalty this season, missed it, perhaps the most important penalty in Barcelona this season! Godia's save is very beautiful!"
"Return to defend!!!"
At this moment, Guardiola, who had always been calm in command, roared loudly on the sidelines, and made a gesture of back defense with his arm...
Because the penalty kick failed, the Barcelona players fell into a brief disappointment, but did not make Malaga in a loving celebration. Godia, who had just pressed the ball under him, quickly turned over and stood up, then quickly took the ball around several Barcelona players who seemed to be stunned, threw the ball with one hand and threw the ball directly to the right.
There, Duda, the right forward in the silent half of the game, had already sprinted with all his strength!
"My God!! Taking advantage of the brief loss of Barcelona players' loss of penalty kicks, Malaga launched a quick counterattack! Duda was the one who dribbled the ball, and he passed the ball to Lewandowski who was inserted in the middle. The Poles did not dribble too much, so he handed the ball to the left! Three to two!" He Tian, who was broadcasting in the live broadcast room, almost jumped up. In the past few minutes, the game had been twists and turns. Barcelona, which was just in a good situation, had a blink of an eye, and the situation became precarious.
Malaga, who was advancing in three lines, was in front of them the last two defensive players of Barcelona, one was Puyor and the other was Abidal. The positions of the two were just sandwiched between the three people in Malaga. If the positions of the five people were connected together, a huge "m" would be formed.
Puyol felt so nervous for the first time in this game.
