Chapter 293 Strange Hat Trick
The game officially began with the referee's whistle.
Real Madrid was eager to win, and Benítez's tactic was to press high up the pitch, so right at the start of the game you could see all of Real Madrid's forwards, including Modric, had crossed the half court.
Enrique touched his chin and said, "That's good. Come on, all of you, put pressure on our defense. This way, my two little darlings Neymar and Suarez will definitely not get into the gaps you leave in defense. Hehe!"
The situation on the field was exactly what Enrique wanted. Just 5 minutes later, Roberto, who replaced Messi, made a cross from the left side. Although Suarez failed to head the ball under the pressure of Varane and Ramos, he also squeezed in the penalty area with the two central defenders of Real Madrid. Neymar at the back took advantage of the opportunity when Danilo started to miss again and kicked the ball!
Leandri made a thrilling save in front of the goal to defuse the crisis.
Enrique: Hehehe.
Benitez: No!
Seeing that Barcelona played so decisively today, Real Madrid immediately fought back.
36 minutes later, Modric found Busquets and intercepted the ball, then passed it to Kroos next to him. Xiao Kuan immediately made a long pass and sent the ball to J. Rodriguez's feet!
The Colombian Golden Boot player took the ball and passed it within two steps!
Benzema, who was at the front, raised his right foot and made a volley!
Bravo was powerless to do anything with the ball.
Just as the entire Real Madrid team was cheering for taking the lead at home, the linesman raised the flag high in his hand.
Offside!
The French were about to be cleared of the recent haze by this goal, but when they saw the referee's decision, they immediately rushed over to ask for an explanation. What offside? Offside of what? Mascherano was right in front of me when I started!
The referee said Benzema was half-foot offside, he saw it clearly!
Ramos also immediately rushed over to stand up for his teammates and said, "If you're not a buddy, what do you mean?" Mascherano is such a big man standing half a body length in front of Benzema. Can you still say that our center forward was offside by half a foot?
C Ronaldo, James Rodriguez, Ramos and others all gathered around, but the referees said that my eyes are the ruler, if you don’t like my decision, I will give you a golden yellow card as a souvenir!
Leandri angrily pulled away the older brothers who also had a bad look on their faces. He understood that although Real Madrid was playing at home today, the difficulty should be S-level.
Okay, we'll endure it, but you must not let us find any chances, otherwise we'll give you two goals!
The Real Madrid players, who were full of anger, pressed even harder. For a team with a passing and controlling system like Barcelona, they had to press high up the pitch to make them make mistakes in their coordination.
In the 22nd minute, Rakitic was about to find Suarez in the middle with the ball, but Marcelo decisively gave up Roberto in front of him and kicked out to intercept Barcelona's pass.
If it were an ordinary full-back, he would probably pass the ball to his teammates after stealing the ball, but today this person is called Marcelo!
Real Madrid's favorite player stepped on the accelerator with the ball. Rakitic, who tried to steal the ball on the spot, Busquets and Roberto, who came to assist, all failed to defend him. Marcelo's performance on the wing let the world know what the spirituality of Brazilian players is!
By the time everyone reacted, Marcelo had already rushed to Alves with the ball. Seeing that the team's leader Cristiano Ronaldo was closely guarded by Pique, the team's favorite started to step on the ball and try to create some distance.
Alves kicked immediately!
The Brazilian defender passed the ball under his feet and kicked it to Kroos with his heel.
Alves immediately cursed in his mind: Are you sick? Why are you, a full-back, trying to learn Redondo's heel pass, you bastard!
Alves's cursing couldn't stop the ball from changing direction. After Kroos unloaded the ball, he kicked it from the spot and made another lob pass in the opposite direction!
Alves continued to be cynical in his heart: You guys are sick, I'm talking about you, Bayern, Manchester United and the annoying Real Madrid. You, Bayern, let go of such a core player for 25 million? You guys at Manchester United had already agreed on the salary and were ready to sign the contract because Van Gaal didn't like you, but now you don't want it? How did Real Madrid get such a bargain? !
The ball came to James Rodriguez again. Alba had already rushed up to defend him, but James Rodriguez had his back to the Barcelona defender and tried hard to make space to pass the ball.
It's Benzema again!
Mascherano's pull failed to stop Benzema from jumping, and the ball flew from Bravo's hands into the goal behind him!
boom!
The Bernabeu seemed to be on fire at this moment. All the fans stood up from their seats in an instant and shouted loudly in celebration, while there was booing from the Barcelona stands.
Leandri just raised his arms and suddenly rubbed his eyes. What was that? Little flag?
Little flag!
The referee once again "brought justice from heaven" and said Benzema was offside and the goal was invalid!
The Real Madrid players on the field were about to riot. Benzema and James Rodriguez rushed to the head coach immediately, and Ramos also roared and led his men to charge forward.
Leandri was shocked to see that Barcelona players had already started to protect the referee and had built a protective net for him with their hands. It was so touching that it made people cry!
Seeing Pique pushing and shoving James Rodriguez in the front of the crowd, Leandri, who was afraid that his teammates would suffer, immediately ran over.
"Where exactly is offside?! This is a misjudgment, a huge mistake!" Leandri just came over from behind and heard that James Rodriguez was twisted by Pique's collar but still stubbornly glared at the referee.
After Leandri slapped Pique away and rescued the Colombian sweetheart, he protested to the referee with Ramos. However, Benzema, whose two goals were blown off in a row, and James Rodriguez, who assisted, really couldn't calm down. They kept muttering something to Barcelona and the referee.
"Will you judge the situation? Are your standards fair?!"
When Leandri heard what James Rodríguez said, he immediately leaned back and tried to block James Rodríguez's figure. However, the referee looked very angry as if he had suffered a great injustice. He kept repeating "You actually questioned my professional ethics?!" and then took out a yellow card for James Rodríguez.
Now the entire Bernabeu is filled with boos. Real Madrid fans feel that the referee's enforcement standards are obviously biased, while Barcelona fans feel that Real Madrid cannot afford to lose.
"How can it be offside? Let's watch the slow motion..."
"There's no problem. Benzema was even half a meter behind. This was an obvious misjudgment!"
"The referee's performance today seemed biased. He called two offsides for Real Madrid in more than 20 minutes? This is a very serious mistake. Oh, he even showed a yellow card to the angry James Rodriguez!"
The neutral commentator had no scruples and was ready to watch the scene of conflict about to break out.
Not to mention the field, Benítez kept protesting to the fourth official, his shiny hairline could even reflect light, and the assistant coach next to him was afraid that their head coach would get angry and hurried over.
Leandri tried hard to pull his teammates back. Some players had already received yellow cards, so the situation of the game was very clear. Leandri didn't want to say anything more to the referee. He just wanted to get his teammates away quickly to avoid giving the excited referee more opportunities to attack.
The Real Madrid players gritted their teeth and swallowed their anger.
In the 37th minute, Leandri blocked a long shot from Xiaobai and Barcelona got a corner kick opportunity.
Iniesta kicked the ball out, and the ball went straight to the tall Pique in front of the goal!
Relying on his height advantage, Chairman Pi headed the ball from close range. Leandri, who was only one meter away from him, was prepared. The two jumped almost at the same time. He had already caught the trajectory of the ball and was ready to reach out to grab the ball.
But at this moment, Leandri felt a strong force rushing towards him from the side, and then he was knocked down directly. The ball that he had just held lost control and flew into the goal!
It turned out that when Leandri and Pique were attacking and defending, Suarez also rushed into the small penalty area and jumped. Following the inertia, he directly knocked Leandri, who was still reaching out to grab the ball in mid-air, off the ball's path.
Ramos, Varane and Leandri who was lying on the ground immediately raised their hands to the referee, "Collision with the goalkeeper! Suarez collision with the goalkeeper!"
But the very opinionated referee blew the whistle without hesitation to signal that the goal was valid.
"Damn it, can't you see his actions? The goalkeeper should be protected in the small penalty area, Leandri has already touched the ball, and Suarez deliberately collided with the goalkeeper!" Ramos and Kroos, who were furious, surrounded the referee at the first time. They didn't understand how such an obvious action could be ignored.
"I didn't see it. From what I could see, it was Leandri who didn't hold the ball and it slipped out of his hands, causing the ball to go in!"
Kroos was almost laughing at the referee's words, "You can't see what you should see, and you can automatically add what you shouldn't see, right!"
The opinionated referee gave Xiao Kuan a yellow card without hesitation.
Rubbing his waist, Leandri thanked himself for his good training. He tried hard to stabilize his core strength during the fall so as not to get injured. This kind of collision could cause injury if one is not careful.
Real Madrid players finished the first half of the game with anger. In the locker room, they tried to ignore Benítez's useless temper and comfort themselves to calm down.
It's just a ball, we can still get it back if we try hard...
Chasing your head!
When Ronaldo's shot was again ruled offside by the referee in the 76th minute, Leandri didn't want to endure it anymore.
He decisively found the referee while being protected by Pique, Busquets and others, and loudly asked him whether he understood the offside rules. Then he and Ramos received a yellow card from the referee.
Isco was even worse off, as he was sent off directly with a red card.
It turned out that just when Leandri broke through the encirclement, Isco also rushed up in rage. Ronaldo's goal just now was his first touch of the ball after being substituted in the second half, which should have been an assist. When the angry Isco saw the referee showing yellow cards to Ramos and Leandri in succession, he was furious and spat at the referee's feet, "You Tama are a piece of trash, your referee card must have been bought!"
Real Madrid lost 0-1 to Barcelona at home, and the first national derby of the season ended with a regrettable defeat for the Galacticos.
"Sir, can I attend the post-match press conference with you?" Leandri became more and more angry the more he thought about it. In order to avoid developing nodules on his body, he chose not to waste his energy.
