"Captain, don't let go, don't let go!" Lennon shouted at the top of his lungs, ignoring the blood on his nose.
In Valdez's horrified eyes, Wang Xiaodong looked like a god of war.
Even if Robbie Keane hugged him from the side, he could not stop his progress.
Looking at Wang Xiaodong's narrowed eyes, Valdes wanted to say a few harsh words.
But remembering Lennon who was knocked out with one punch, he swallowed hard after the words reached his lips.
"Beep! Beep beep beep beep beep!!!"
Robbie Keane and Lennon's obstruction finally worked. Tottenham players, who had already planned, swarmed forward and surrounded Wang Xiaodong.
First Robbie Keane, then Defoe, then Bale.
Lennon got up from the ground and didn't care about the blood stains on his nose. He also found an opportunity to become one of Wang Xiaodong's pendants.
It wasn't until the three people holding Wang Xiaodong lifted their feet off the ground that they stopped him from continuing to move towards Valdez.
At this moment, Valdes was also blocked by other Barcelona players. Xavi, as the captain, immediately came to the center of the conflict line to prevent the players from both sides from continuing to collide.
As more and more players gathered on the field, a very strange phenomenon occurred.
Different from other conflicts on the pitch, most of the Tottenham players gathered around Wang Xiaodong to prevent him from moving forward; another small group of Tottenham players stopped in front of the Barcelona players and warned them to retreat quickly.
The originally irritable Barcelona players were reluctant to take action upon seeing this, after all, almost everyone on the other side was on the "disruption" side.
After communicating for a few words, everyone slowly retreated around Valdez.
"Tch, I thought what could be done? It turns out that Premier League teams are just like that!"
In the stands, an extreme Barcelona fan looked disdainful.
The Premier League has always been known for its brutality. Whether it is fighting on the field or conflicts off the field, it gives people the feeling of "a gang fight".
At this moment, seeing a Premier League team acting wildly at their home stadium, many extreme fans started making loud noises, adding fuel to the conflict.
However, the group fight they imagined did not come to fruition. Instead, under the control of the players on both sides, the two sides slowly dispersed.
Tottenham caused such a "loud thunder but light rain" stadium conflict, which naturally aroused the disdain of some Barcelona fans.
From their point of view, either you come over and do something big, or you restrain yourself and don't cause trouble.
Now that so many team members have gathered around, they have been arguing for a long time. What does this mean?
"Haha, Tottenham are just a bunch of cowards!"
"Guys who can't beat you, just play with them!"
"Come on, put your seed on it!"
The extreme fans made a loud noise, but the staff at the scene were shocked.
These fans may not understand the Premier League, Tottenham, or Wang Xiaodong; but the home team Barcelona is well aware of Wang Xiaodong's past experience.
This is a man of God who can fight against eight!
The tragic experience of Portsmouth two years ago is still fresh in my mind. Wang Xiaodong single-handedly sent the entire opponent's team to the hospital.
How can Camp Nou be any better when such players become furious?
The referee kept blowing his whistle and finally separated the players from both sides.
Harvey and Robbie Keane stood panting in the center, explaining to the referee what had just happened.
However, the referee himself is not blind. He clearly saw that Valdez was the first to provoke and had the intention to imitate Zidane.
So in order to stabilize the emotions of the visiting team players, the referee showed a yellow card directly above Valdez's head.
Such a penalty immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the fans of the away team.
There was a quarrel in the visiting team's stands. In their view, a red card would not be an exaggeration for a bad behavior like Valdez's.
But the referee must take into account the emotions of the home team fans after all. This is Camp Nou after all.
Coupled with Valdez's special position, giving him a yellow card as a warning is the biggest punishment for him.
After the penalty against Valdez, the referee bit the bullet and came to Wang Xiaodong under the "escort" of Robbie Keane.
At this moment, Wang Xiaodong's limbs are each "supervised" by a team member. Defoe and Bale are holding Wang Xiaodong's arms, while Boateng and Modric are holding Wang Xiaodong's thighs.
Wang Xiaodong stood in the middle, like Hannibal in Silence of the Lambs.
Lennon was pulled aside by the team doctor to stop the bleeding from his nostrils, but his eyes were still looking worriedly, fearing that Wang Xiaodong would "hurt someone else" again.
Looking at Tottenham's preparedness, the head coach from France couldn't laugh at all.
Under the escort of Robbie Keane, the referee came to a place one step in front of Wang Xiaodong.
He stretched out his right hand, pointed a finger at Wang Xiaodong, and then slowly said something in English: "Be careful, it won't happen again."
After a simple warning, he turned around and left.
Seeing that they didn't even get a card, there was even greater dissatisfaction in the stands of the home team.
There were boos all over the sky. In the eyes of Barcelona fans, Wang Xiaodong, who punched and hurt others, should be the one who was sent off with a red card.
What's more, the cause of the incident was that Wang Xiaodong destroyed the ball prepared by the ball boy without authorization, which hindered Barcelona's quick counterattack.
In the eyes of some extreme fans, Wang Xiaodong was equivalent to "destroying a goal that belonged to Barcelona in a despicable way."
Of course such bad guys should be severely punished!
But now Wang Xiaodong just received an understatement warning from the referee. What does this count?
Camp Nou exploded.
After warning Wang Xiaodong, the referee turned around and picked up the ball.
The verdict was a dropped ball in Barcelona's backcourt.
Listening to the overwhelming boos, the referee turned a deaf ear.
If Wang Xiaodong had punched Valdez in the face, he would have received a red card.
But in the end it was Lennon who blocked the punch for Valdes, so in the final analysis, Wang Xiaodong did not cause any harm to the Barcelona players.
The relationship between Wang Xiaodong and Lennon does not apply to the fight between Bowyer and teammate Dyer when Newcastle fell 0-3 behind their opponents in 2005.
Even after being injured, Lennon got up immediately and explained to the referee that it was just that he accidentally bumped into a teammate's fist.
Faced with such a "united" Tottenham, what else can the referee say?
Therefore, in his opinion, Wang Xiaodong was the one who "didn't take action" from beginning to end, so it was a verbal warning; while Valdez took the initiative to provoke, so he received a yellow card.
The referee has already thought about how to submit a report to UEFA.
...
The ball fell to the ground, Milito kicked it forward hard and "returned" the ball to the Tottenham players.
Seeing such a "harmonious" scene, there was only sparse applause from the stands.
Soon, the ball was kicked out of bounds again.
At the reminder of the fourth official, the head coaches of both teams announced substitutions.
On Tottenham's side, Martin Joel dared to let Wang Xiaodong stay on the court and hurriedly replaced him with Huddlestone; on the other side, Ronaldinho replaced Deco to strengthen the team's frontcourt. attack.
One team replaced its ace, and another team replaced its spiritual pillar.
From this moment on, the momentum on the court immediately turned into one-sided suppression.
Seeing the coach replacing him, Wang Xiaodong remained silent from beginning to end.
When he walked to the sideline, he glanced at Martin Joel with red eyes, and then walked into the tunnel on his own.
As for the direction and result of the game, there is no need to pay attention to it.
...
After Ronaldinho came on the court, the situation on the court immediately reversed.
In the 63rd minute, Barcelona used a tactical corner kick to quickly hit the ball to Ronaldinho's feet.
When Ronaldinho turned around on the penalty area line, the Tottenham players had not yet reacted.
Boateng rushed forward desperately and tried to stop Ronaldinho.
There was also chaos in the Tottenham penalty area, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Ronaldinho's eyes were fixed forward, neither looking at the ball at his feet nor taking a peek at the goal and goalkeeper.
Even so, the ball seemed to stick to his feet, moving with his body shape.
Boateng hurriedly followed his movement and blocked the near corner, denying him a chance to hit the goal.
But at this moment, Ronaldinho grinned, bucked his teeth, and turned his head to the side.
At the same time, the ball slipped away from his feet with a swishing sound and rolled to the other side.
But before that, Ronaldinho didn't look at that position at all!
NoLookPass? !
When everyone was shocked, a young player wearing jersey No. 30 suddenly burst into the fans' field of vision.
"Mei~~~"
Before the commentator could shout, Messi followed up with a kick and pushed the ball into the Tottenham net again.
