Chapter 149 Professor Bu and the red card
Xiao Qing once again completed a hat-trick against Barcelona. The current three-to-two score almost made Barcelona players despair. It was basically impossible for them to reverse the score in this game. Their match with Arsenal will basically be considered to be the final loser even if they have the advantage. // Fastest update //
Or Barcelona did not have any advantage. Although they often suppress Arsenal; they scored three goals in both games, and each time they met with the Gunners, they were scored by Arsenal with a sharp strike. This is definitely a great irony for Barcelona's strength. Even though Barcelona can be said to be the most powerful team in overall strength, they are definitely not considered a universe team or invincible in the world, because they still have many shortcomings, and they are also very likely to encounter Waterloo.
Xiao Qing is very proud of his performance in this game. Xiao Qing, who once again completed a hat-trick, also increased his Champions League goal count to twelve, which is a number that basically locks in this Champions League Golden Boot. Xiao Qing is very proud now because he can help the team defeat strong opponents in difficult situations. This may also be a manifestation of Arsenal's continuous breakthrough of his limits under heavy pressure.
The Barcelona players were a little lost, they were a little overwhelmed; they originally thought they had an absolute advantage in this round, and they believed that they had an absolute initiative when facing Arsenal. Even if they lost away in the first leg, they were still full of confidence; but who would have thought that they were so bitter when facing Arsenal, because they were not Arsenal's opponents at all. Because they were about to suffer a shameful defeat again. Because they had no chance and confidence to defeat Arsenal at all.
Arsenal began to retract its defense. There were only twenty minutes left in the game, but Arsenal still had at least three goals in his hand; as long as he did not concede three goals in the last twenty minutes, Arsenal could still advance to the semi-finals. Although the Gunners were a little proud of their absolute advantage, they did not care at all.
In the 79th minute of the game, Pedro turned around and shot with his right foot and missed the far post. Then Barcelona replaced Pedro with Iniesta, who had recovered from injury. Barcelona, who had no way out, started their final counterattack at this time. At this time, they had to do their best to fight for the last attempt.
Barcelona was a little panicked. But now Arsenal seems calm and control the game with ease; Xiao Qing, who retreated to the near midfield, was a little stinky at this time. Amid the booing at the Camp Nou Stadium, the Gunners' players easily fell down in the backcourt, and of course, they suddenly sent the ball to Xiao Qing's feet without any worries to scare the frightened Barcelona players.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Xiao Qing took the ball and dribbled the ball into the frontcourt; in fact, Arsenal controlled the rhythm of the game at this time, and Xiao Qing may not have the intention to continue the attack with determination. However, there are many ways to control the time of the game, and Xiao Qing only slightly restrained Barcelona's attack.
Xiao Qing calmly waited until Barcelona midfielder Busquets almost started to start when the defense was almost in place. Xiao Qing gently pushed the ball forward. Although Busquets almost had defense in place, he was still quite helpless when facing Xiao Qing's speed. Xiao Qing basically had to cross over from his side.
But at this time, the sky was booed and the referee's whistle also sounded. Barcelona players rushed towards Xiao Qing excitedly. Xiao Qing was a little stunned, but he quickly reacted and couldn't say the rage!
Xiao Qing was going to break through Busquets, but just as Xiao Qing passed Busquets, Xiao Qing's running arm swinging naturally had some physical contact with Busquets; but this was a very normal physical contact, but Busquets suddenly turned around 180 degrees as if he had been sniped. Seeing Busquets rolling on the grass in pain, anyone would think that he was hit hard by Xiao Qing on his face.
"Come on, stand up if you have the guts! What else can you do besides diving? Don't compete for Oscars, you have a better chance!" Although the Arsenal players rushed towards this side, the angry Xiao Qing still couldn't help but be angry, because this action that was not too big actually caused the referee's red card; there might be Xiao Qing's reaction here, but it should be that Xiao Qing might have to be sent off in the referee's opinion, because this action seemed bad enough to him, and this was Barcelona's territory!
If the Arsenal players hadn't held Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing would have rushed up and beat Busquets hard. Even Xiao Qing, who was not the referee, didn't care; because this was a red card, which meant that Arsenal had reached the semi-finals, but Xiao Qing could not play in the first round. This was a disaster for Xiao Qing!
It can be said that Arsenal faces disaster after disaster this season, and there are only a few world-class players who can really make a move in the arsenal; Fabregas is naturally, but the season is reimbursed. Although Arshavin and Van Persie are very good, they can only be considered as first-tier stars at most, but now they are reimbursed seasonally. So there is only one truly reliable player in Arsenal now. Once Xiao Qing is suspended, it means that Arsenal is really leaderless, or without Xiao Qing, Arsenal's current lineup and state are a mob!
Arsenal was naturally extremely angry, and Wenger rushed to the sidelines to protest; but it was useless at this time, so Xiao Qing could only point at the Barcelona players and scold him angrily. He was roaring and spitting out a spell composed of four words in classic English at the referee.
During the TV broadcast, the major commentators were also discussing this penalty. During the repeated replays, except for the pro-Barcelona media, basically everyone thought that this misjudgment was too serious. Just when Xiao Qing angrily threw down the jersey and turned to the player channel, he thought that Barcelona might have some aggrieved Barcelona fans were speechless.
Busquets was lying on the grass with his face professionally covering his face. At this time, he showed that he was maliciously violated by Xiao Qing; but perhaps he was also very concerned about the punishment of Xiao Qing in this conflict, so when no one paid attention, he quietly turned his head. Busquets, who was originally covering his face, carefully let go of his hand and looked at the scene. When he saw Xiao Qing angrily throwing off his jersey and going out, Busquets smiled with satisfaction and complacent smile.
Perhaps the players on the court did not notice Busquets' satisfied smile, but in the broadcasting camera, everyone was stunned by this scene at first, and then cursed. It was obvious that Busquets deliberately wanted to get rid of Arsenal's most threatening offensive point, because he finally caused Barcelona's biggest enemy to suffer tragic revenge.
The TV broadcast camera was very clear and repeatedly playing Busquets's smirk after covering his face. I believe that Busquets did not expect the TV broadcast camera to be aimed at him. He obviously would not have thought that he would become the focus of public criticism because of his smirk.
Xiao Qing was sent off, and Arsenal lost the most threatening point on the court; but fortunately, Arsenal is still one goal ahead, and Arsenal still has the initiative to advance. The three-to-two score has not been long since the game ended; this is definitely a score that pushes Barcelona into a desperate situation. Now even if Xiao Qing is sent off, Arsenal players have enough confidence to advance to the Champions League semi-finals smoothly.
Xiao Qing was sent off, and Arsenal, who was already passive on the court, was even more cramped because of this. Fortunately, Arsenal is now quite advantageous, so he is still confident about advancing to Arsenal. As for Barcelona players, they are naturally quite satisfied with Xiao Qing being sent off. As for the reasons for being sent off, they don’t care, and what they value more is the result.
Barcelona has no way out and launched the final counterattack, which is their last chance; with an indomitable mentality, Barcelona naturally has a more fierce attack at this time. And Messi really fought at this time, because although Xiao Qing was sent out, Xiao Qing's outstanding performance in this game made Messi's already very good performance pale in comparison.
In the 84th minute of the game, Barcelona midfielder Keita headed the ball in the midfield, and Messi spiked the ball in the middle and dodged the defender, Vermara, and scored with his left foot. Three to three, Barcelona now equalized the score. However, Barcelona still lag behind five to six in the big score, so Barcelona naturally has no reason to celebrate now.
Although Arsenal concedes the ball, he is actually a little depressed, but he is not panicked, because Arsenal has a great advantage now; and in the 87th minute of the game, Xavi made a straight pass from the midfield, Messi broke through Ebue in the middle of the penalty area and shot low with his left foot by Almunia; but Messi followed up with a low shot from the left-footed penalty area and broke through Almunia's wicket four-to-three, Barcelona reversed!
