However, when Sporting Lisbon scored the second goal, the game suddenly changed.
The referee Gandur's penalty scale was strangely expanded.
Sporting Lisbon and Barcelona are both more technical teams, and it stands to reason that both sides prefer a stricter whistle-blowing method.
Don't give opposing players a chance to commit violent fouls or muscle strangleholds.
From the perspective of the referee's job, such a whistle is more reasonable.
Referees have never maintained absolute fairness and justice. Their biggest task is actually to make the game as smooth and exciting as possible without changing the outcome of a game.
The scale is stricter, so that the two teams with the ball can play wonderful and meticulous cooperation when holding the ball, and that is enough.
However, as the game restarted, Gandour was very indulgent in the pressing of Barcelona players, which was obviously inconsistent with the previous whistleblowing standards.
Quaresma, Viana, Deng Kai and others were fouled by Barcelona.
However, in the face of complaints from Sporting Lisbon players, Gandour remained indifferent.
In the 40th minute, Deng Kai, who was pushed by Guardiola and then completed the steal, rolled on the spot, started to chase back, and knocked Guardiola down with the same foul action.
Beep!
The referee blew the whistle immediately.
He also warned Deng Kai that he would show Deng Kai a yellow card if he committed another foul behind the back.
Guardiola felt the change in the referee, but in Barcelona, he had to work for the benefit of Barcelona, so he helped and tried to get the referee to give Deng Kai a yellow card immediately.
Deng Kai rolled his eyes at Guardiola, meaning if you wait, I will still beat you.
Guardiola shrugged and had a higher evaluation of Deng Kai's magnanimity and wisdom.
Even though I, a close business friend, was stabbed in the back on the court, he still managed to maintain his sanity and was not given a card due to disciplinary issues. This little guy is so scary.
No player has ever been able to do this at Deng Kai's age, and the more talented the player, the less likely he is to do it.
Zidane is currently recognized as the number one midfielder in football, but even though he is nearly thirty years old, he still has a very hot temper. It still happens frequently that players receive yellow cards or red cards because they cannot control their temper, which ultimately leads to the team losing.
Are Oriental people's character cultivation so strong?
Guardiola knows that Deng Kai is by no means a timid coward.
Off the court, he led the Five Tigers to defeat Argentine football hooligans.
In the 44th minute, the most controversial scene of this game appeared.
Quaresma dribbled vigorously on the right, penetrated into Barcelona's hinterland and passed the ball to Deng Kai.
Deng Kai did not stop the ball and directly created murderous opportunities in the transfer pass, moving the football deep to the left side of the penalty area.
Cristiano Ronaldo cut inside the penalty area without the ball and was about to control the football.
De Boer came from the side and hit Ronaldo.
It was a penalty without a doubt.
Although Ronaldo did not completely control the ball, he already had an advantage in controlling the football.
Moreover, De Boer rushed directly from the side and did not squeeze away from Ronaldo while racing in the same direction.
This is a very clear call.
But Ganduer crossed his arms to indicate that there was no penalty.
Camp Nou cheered instantly.
More than 90,000 Barcelona fans, mostly Spanish fans, gave Gandour a thumbs up.
Ronaldo was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Jump up on the spot and rush towards Gandur.
De Boer, with his quick eyes and quick hands, stood in front of Ronaldo to prevent Ronaldo from changing the referee's decision.
Ronaldo became even more angry and pushed out his chest, knocking De Boer away.
DeBoer fell down.
The referee came over and got a yellow card.
Ronaldo stamped his feet anxiously.
Then other Sporting Lisbon players came over to hold Ronaldo back and started communicating with Gandour.
Ghandour ignored Sporting's complaints and dismissed the players.
The game therefore entered the halftime break.
Including some broadcast stations are discussing this foul.
The conclusion drawn is that "Barcelona escaped a disaster."
If Ronaldo catches this ball, even if it is from a small angle, Ronaldo in the penalty area will definitely give Barcelona a headache, and creating a goal is also a high probability event.
If they fall behind by three goals, Barcelona will be in real trouble.
Even if they scored three goals in the second half, it would just be an equalizer.
We are still far from winning.
Now they seem to be two goals behind, but in fact, as long as they score the second goal, Barcelona can overtake Sporting Lisbon and reach the UEFA Cup final with the advantage of a total score of 5 to 5 and three away goals. .
The situation is not dangerous.
For the giants in football, it is reasonable to score two goals at any time.
Facing Bayern, Manchester United only needed two minutes.
Facing Sporting Lisbon, Barcelona still has 45 minutes left, what are they afraid of?
…
Returning from the second half, Sporting Lisbon could not make any changes.
Their large circle tactics are already a very conservative and safe way of playing football.
But it still couldn't withstand Barcelona's foul-style siege.
It can be seen that Barcelona emphasized the issue of defensive scale during the halftime break. Their players were more confident when making big moves than in the first half.
Because they are not afraid that their action will be called a foul.
This leads to Barcelona players playing more smoothly.
In the 62nd minute, after Rivaldo and Guardiola cooperated, they attracted enough defense and then made a wonderful pass to Xavi.
Xavi also has good vision. Although he was blown away by Deng Kai in direct confrontation, his offensive performance in Barcelona was also good.
Xavi sent the football into the penalty area with a through ball.
Simao started in the penalty area, but was stuck by Pepe.
The two competed in the penalty area.
In the end, Pepe stretched his legs in advance to clear the football out of the baseline, completing a beautiful defense.
But when Pepe made this move, Simang also stretched his legs in an attempt to reach enough.
Of course Simang didn't reach it, but he was unable to adjust his movements because of this. Then he was tripped by Pepe and they both rolled to the ground.
Anyone who has played football knows that the key to judging whether it is a successful defense or a penalty kick is whether Simao touches the football.
If Simang has long legs and touches the football early, it will be a foul on Pepe in the penalty area and a penalty.
But Simang did not touch the football, and he and Pepe were still half a beat behind Pepe during the race, and were suppressed by Pepe.
Beep!
Gandur's whistle sounded, and he pointed to the penalty spot, indicating that Barcelona had won a penalty.
Not to mention Peipei, even Ximeng himself was a little confused.
Can the kicker not know that this is not a penalty kick?
"No! This can't be a penalty!" Pepe rushed towards Gandur angrily.
Gandour's backhand yellow card drove Pepe away.
Schmeichel rushed out and hugged an emotional Pepe.
Deschamps came back with experience and blocked Pepe's mouth with his hands, talking to Pepe to distract Pepe's anger.
