Chapter 442: The Extinct Honest BOY

In the middle of the week, in the second leg of the King's Cup quarter-finals, Barcelona faced Zaragoza at home.

This is an extraordinary match! After a 3-3 draw with Zaragoza in the first leg, the second leg can be said to be the key to the success or failure of Barcelona's season strategy. If they fail to beat Zaragoza at home, or even get upset by their opponent, then Barcelona's dream of winning the treble this season will completely vanish into thin air.

Because of this, before the game, Barcelona president Laporta personally went to the Gamber Sports City to mobilize the first-team players, hoping that the players could continue to work hard and defeat Zaragoza at home to win this crucial focus battle.

Not only that, the King of Football Pele happens to be in Barcelona, ​​and he will also be present to cheer for Barcelona.

Rijkaard also fielded the strongest lineup that Barcelona could currently field in this game.

The start of the game also went smoothly.

Barcelona controlled the ball and the tempo from the start and frequently launched attacks on Zaragoza.

In the tenth minute, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball inside from the left and made a precise pass to the back of Zaragoza center back Alvaro. Su Dong quickly followed up, shook off Alvaro, and shot with his left foot from six meters in front of the goal.

One to zero!

The entire Camp Nou was boiling with excitement! This goal allowed Barcelona to lead Zaragoza in the total score, and their advancement to the semi-finals was basically secured! After taking the lead, Barcelona continued to exert their strength, frequently planning offensives and creating threats, but they were always just a little short of scoring.

Especially in the ten minutes from the 20th minute to the 30th minute, Barcelona created many chances in succession, but players such as Messi, Ronaldinho and Marcos missed good scoring opportunities one after another.

But everyone is still confident in Barcelona, ​​and the team is confident of winning.

But just when everyone thought that Barcelona had secured victory, in the 37th minute, Ronaldinho lost the ball and then fought back. With his position completely blocked by Cani, he kicked from behind and directly hit Cani's left foot.

The Zaragoza midfielder fell to the ground without any hesitation.

Speaking of acting skills, most professional players are talented! There are not many honest boys like Su Dong, and they are even close to extinction!

The referee immediately blew the whistle, indicating a foul.

The fans at Camp Nou were not happy about this and started booing.

But what surprised everyone even more was that the referee ran over and directly showed Ronaldinho a red card.

…………

…………

"Red card?"

"Oh my god, is this a red card move?"

"Did Santiago make another mistake? He may have forgotten that he had never given Ronaldinho a yellow card before."

"This isn't the first time he's done something stupid like this."

"Remember? In the previous match between Real Madrid and Espanyol, Ramos was tangling with Campo in the penalty area, and Santiago blew the whistle to signal a foul, but Espanyol's Jarque continued to attack and scored. Santiago completely forgot that he blew the whistle and confusedly ruled that the goal was valid."

"Now, he will probably say that he forgot to give Ronaldinho a yellow card."

"His confusion is really...haha..."

"Wait, it's really a red card!"

"How is that possible? Is he sure he didn't pick the wrong card?"

"A red card for this action?"

Not only the commentator on the scene was shocked, but the Barcelona players on the field were also very shocked.

Kicking someone from behind was indeed a foul, and there was nothing wrong with giving him a yellow card, because Ronaldinho had no ill intentions, he was just too impatient and wanted to get the ball back, so his movements were not big.

But why was the red card given? "This is definitely a misjudgment!"

"Another stupid move by Santiago!"

"The Cantabrian conspiracy, this is flagrant partiality to Zaragoza!"

"Look at the foul committed by Zaragoza at Camp Nou tonight. If it was a referee from any other region, the red card would at least be given to Zaragoza to be fair. But now, Santiago actually gave it to Ronaldinho. This is simply too blatant!"

…

Ronaldinho himself was stunned.

He was a little anxious at the time, but he had absolutely no ill intentions.

It is understandable that Carney fell to the ground. Anyone who gets kicked will fall to the ground, but why did the referee give him a red card?

Not only were the Barcelona players dumbfounded, even the Zaragoza players themselves found it unbelievable.

If this kind of action can get a red card, then I don't know how many red cards they would have received for their previous fouls against Barcelona.

Especially the two fouls committed by Gabriel Milito and Alvaro on Su Dong, it was not excessive to send him off twice.

The Barcelona players were a little anxious, but Puyol quickly stopped his teammates and kept asking everyone to calm down.

Puyol realized that something was wrong and that if they continued to dwell on it, Barcelona would suffer more.

"You guys retreat first, I'll negotiate with him!"

Afterwards, Puyol had a heated argument with the referee, but unfortunately, in the end, the Barcelona captain chose to accept the red card.

…

The game starts again.

This red card was a huge blow to Barcelona, ​​especially to morale.

Before the end of the first half, Zaragoza equalized the score through a counterattack, with Oscar Gonzalez scoring, which made Zaragoza seem more fighting spirited.

Barcelona had to swallow the bitter pill of a 1-1 defeat.

…………

…………

"He's a Cantabrian, he's prejudiced against us!"

In the locker room, Puyol excitedly explained why he accepted the red card.

Even though he was the captain, he had to give a reasonable explanation to everyone else.

"If we continue to tangle with him, he has the power to send our players off again, which will be an even bigger disaster."

Flipping the table and striking a match are certainly satisfying, but they are ultimately just temporary impulses.

As the captain, Puyol cannot do this, so he can only accept the red card.

Su Dong sat in front of the cabinet, with Messi on his left and Iniesta on his right. He leaned over curiously and asked in a low voice: "Where is Cantabria?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"In the north of Spain, there has been unrest, so people there have a bad impression of Madrid and Barcelona, ​​because Madrid and Barcelona are the richest places in Spain," Iniesta explained.

"But Zaragoza is not from the north either." Su Dong was puzzled.

Iniesta shrugged and said helplessly: "Who knows?"

Su Dong has been in Spain for almost three years, but in fact, he still cannot understand their logic.

This is not just regional discrimination, it has even developed into a political conflict.

…………

…………

How should Barcelona play after Ronaldinho was sent off? Rijkaard did not give a good solution, but just told the players to be careful and try to score again, but the team needed to invest in defense and could no longer invest in offense.

To put it simply, I have no other choice, you guys have to figure it out yourself.

The Barcelona dressing room had long been accustomed to Rijkaard's style of doing things. They basically gathered in groups of three or four to study how to play in the second half, with the defensive players studying defense and the offensive players studying offense.

…

After the second half, although Barcelona had one less player than Zaragoza, they did not have a big disadvantage on the field, and Barcelona still had the advantage in ball possession.

This is mainly because Ronaldinho is an offensive player in the frontcourt.

When it comes to defense, the Brazilian superstar actually seldom participates in defense. Even when he is pressing and oppressing, it is mostly just a feint.

Because of this, Ronaldinho's red card did not have much impact on Barcelona's defense. In addition, Barcelona's tactics in the second half were defensive, which made it difficult for Zaragoza to attack.

In the 51st minute, Marcos made a long pass from the backcourt. Su Dong blocked his position in the frontcourt, stopped the ball, and passed it back to Iniesta.

After Xiaobai took the ball from the front, he rushed forward with the ball, while Su Dong quickly rushed in front.

Iniesta passed the ball to the right. After Messi received the ball, he started immediately and rushed directly to the right side of the penalty area. After passing two opposing players, he passed the ball to the middle on the right side of the penalty area with his right foot, which he was not good at.

Su Dong rushed over, used his body to push Gabriel Milito away, and shot the ball from ten meters in front of the goal, sending the ball into the lower right corner of Zaragoza's goal, two to one!

Just six minutes later, Deco made a lob pass to the left side of the penalty area. Su Dong quickly moved to the side, received the pass from Deco, and faced central defender Alvaro directly. He dribbled the ball straight to Alvaro on the left side of the penalty area.

Su Dong's body shook and he dribbled the ball directly to the bottom line. He forced himself to start, and used his explosive power to take on Alvaro, and passed the ball to the back point with his left foot.

The ball bypassed Gabriel Milito in the middle and fell into an unguarded area at the back post.

Messi's short figure sprinted into the position quickly, met Su Dong's cross, and headed the ball directly into Zaragoza's goal, 3 to 1!

The entire Camp Nou stadium was boiling again!

Especially when seeing Su Dong, Messi, Iniesta, Deco and others running to the sidelines to celebrate the goal, all the Barcelona fans in the stadium were shouting Su Dong's name crazily.

…

"marvelous!"

"The 10-man Barcelona relied on the wonderful cooperation between Su Dong and Messi in the second half to score two goals and surpass the score again."

"There is indeed a gap between Zaragoza and Barcelona in terms of strength. Although referee Santiago helped tonight and sent off Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho with a red card, they still couldn't stop Su Dong's progress!"

"Based on tonight's game, we have every reason to believe that Barcelona will be the strongest contender for the Copa del Rey this season."

…

In the end, Barcelona defeated Zaragoza 3-1 at home with Sudon's two goals, despite having one man less for most of the game, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the King's Cup with a total score of 6-4.

After the game, the football king Pele, who was watching the game at Camp Nou, also spoke highly of Barcelona when he was interviewed by the media.

"Barcelona is the best team in Spain and Sudon was the best player in Barcelona tonight."

Although Bailey was still reluctant to say the words that all the media and fans were expecting, everyone could hear that he had begun to loosen up, at least he began to acknowledge Su Dong's performance.

This makes everyone believe that it won’t be long before Pele recognizes Su Dong’s strength and status!

And everyone knows that Pele is famous for protecting his own people.

I was at the hospital all day today. Just after dinner, I saw people dancing in the courtyard of the community. The loud speakers were playing "The Shepherd of Keketuohai" repeatedly. I burst into tears...
