v4 Chapter 904： Who is the captain?

At 21:00 on the evening of February 13th, at the Eprat Stadium in Barcelona, ​​Spain.

In the twenty-third round of La Liga, the Spaniard faced Real Madrid.

The game is about to start.

Benitez stood in front of the visiting team's coach and rubbed his hands in preparation for the upcoming game.

He and the team are full of fighting spirit and confidence.

Yesterday, Saturday night, he went to France to spy on the military and watch the UEFA Champions League round of 16 elimination match against Lyon playing Saint Etienne's Ligue 1 away, while Barcelona challenged Gijon at away.

As a result, no one thought that Barcelona was flat!

In the past few months, Barcelona has achieved a nine-game winning streak since the end of the century derby.

It can be said that Barcelona this season is desperate. They almost played the most dominant season in La Liga history. Except for the century Derby lost to Real Madrid, they almost killed all opponents.

Yes, there are more than ten rounds left in the league, but in fact, after watching Barcelona play so steadily, everyone ’s first reaction is that the La Liga champions have no suspense.

The reality is often more absurd and more elusive.

No one would think that in Sporting Gijon, Barcelona suddenly encountered a draw.

One by one, Villa scored a goal to equalize the score.

This is a great opportunity for Real Madrid!

As long as this game is won again, the gap between the two sides has further narrowed to seven points, and the suspense reappears again.

Because the two sides still have a century derby, and it is in the Bernabeu stadium.

At Real Madrid ’s regular tactical meeting this morning, a number of players including Yang Yang, Ibrahimović, Casillas and Ramos all expressed their views on this game as a decisive battle between life and death.

"So far this season, Barcelona has had only a handful of falls. Last night they fell on Sporting Gijon. This is our God-given opportunity to narrow the points gap. There will be no shop after this village. We missed all the opportunities, so we deserve to lose the league! "

Yang Yang seldom took the position before Casillas. He thought that the team should get out and die with the Spaniards!

If you do n’t fight at this time, will you cry after losing the league title?

Everyone in the team shared the same conviction and determination, and everyone agreed with Yang Yang's judgment.

Can you reverse Barcelona and say another way, but such an opportunity is in front of you, it is too useless to fight!

So in this game, the emperor immediately fell down with great fighting spirit, and everyone stubbornly tried to kill the Spaniards.

As long as this game is won, the points gap is reduced to seven points, and then to win Barcelona in the Bernabeu, then there are four points left.

Over a dozen rounds of chasing four points, but not too much.

…………

…………

When the referee Matt Urahoz blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Real Madrid took the lead in the away kick.

Real Madrid took the initiative to play the offense as soon as it opened, trying to oppress the Spaniards and directly attacking the opponent's frontcourt.

But soon, Real Madrid passed the ball in the frontcourt mistakes. After the Spaniard got the ball, he quickly sent it behind Real Madrid's defense.

Callehong, who was on the left side, inserted directly behind McKon, and Pepe took a step forward to chase the falling ball.

Casillas quickly abandoned the goal and rushed out of the penalty area. They wanted to clear the ball with one foot. The two made moves almost at the same time, but Carlehon took the first step to poke the ball. Casillas planned to fail and close Before the foot was too late, he tripped Carlehon slightly, and the Spanish winger rolled over the grass and entered Real Madrid's penalty area.

The referee quickly caught up and whistled for a foul.

All Real Madrid players are also aware of the seriousness of the problem, and have surrounded them one after another. Maicon shouted that Kalehong was offside, but the lineman ignored it, and Pepe and Xavi Alonso were following. The referee negotiated, saying that Casillas did not intentionally foul, and Carlehon was suspected of performing.

Indeed, the Spanish winger kept wailing in Real Madrid's penalty zone, rolling over in situ, a painful look.

"Carlehon's performance is indeed a bit exaggerated."

"From a slow-motion replay, Casillas can't say that there is no problem, but he did not intentionally foul, and he ended up."

"Let's look at it from another angle. Indeed, Casillas closed his foot, but he accidentally tripped Callejon a bit, certainly not as painful as he was in the penalty area. The Spaniard now obviously wants to ask for one. Red card. "

"Look at how the referee Lahoz was fined."

"Red card!"

"Casillas opened the game with one minute and twenty seconds, and was sent off with a red card!"

"The captain of Real Madrid opened his hands with a very incomprehensible expression. He seemed unable to accept such a result at all."

"Let ’s look at the slow-motion playback again. Casillas’ movement is not big, and it is obviously closed. It is indeed too serious to directly give the red card. Even I think that it is not too much to throw Karelhon, he The performance is too exaggerated. "

"Also, let's take a look at the moment when the pass was just passed. Kalehun really was offside. McKon raised his hand to signal that he was offside, but no referee responded, which allowed Kalehun to rush directly to the front of the penalty area. "

"I have to say that this was indeed a very bad penalty. Both the referee and the referee made unbelievably wrong penalties. They sent Real Madrid's captain and main goalkeeper Casilla more than one minute into the opening. Sis, how does Real Madrid play in this game? "

"There is one less person in the game than the opponents. Can this kind of game persist?"

This is not only the doubt of the live broadcast commentator, but also the doubts of the audience fans, but also the doubts of the players on the field.

A game, just started, was directly sent off a goalkeeper, so how to play?

...

Casillas was very angry, and the whole person almost ran away.

When he saw the referee Lahoze reaching into his chest pocket and drawing a red card, he knew he was done.

The team tried to close the gap before the game, but the result was a ruin because of this red card!

Real Madrid captain is very angry, he complained that he should not attack, and also complained about what is going on with the referee's eyes?

Such actions, such fouls, just give a yellow card, why give a red card?

Even, he doubts that the referee is a Barcelona fan?

Taking advantage of Barcelona's loss of points, will Real Madrid go to death?

He walked angrily to the side of the court, some faceless, and walked directly to the player channel. He threw the glove tightly in his hand on the wall of the player channel, but this time assistant coach Yesterdam called Lived him.

"Captain armband!"

Casillas woke up, only to find that the captain's armband was still worn on his arm. He immediately turned around, released the captain's armband from his arm, and walked back to the sidelines.

At this time, Real Madrid's players are depressed, the team's morale can be said to plummet.

Casillas looked in his eyes, ashamed and anxious, and at the same time remembered another question.

Who is this captain armband for?

In the Real Madrid team, there has always been a tradition, that is to be the captain according to seniority, that is to say, who is the oldest in the dressing room, who is the captain.

From the former Sanchez and Hierro to the later Raul and Guti, to the present Casillas and Ramos.

But tonight, Ramos missed the rotation and Casillas was sent off with a red card. The captain's armband should be given to the left-back Marcelo. He is a team that joined in 2007. The oldest qualified player.

Dare he take it?

Casillas stood on the sidelines, holding the captain's armband in hand, waiting for his teammates to come over and take over.

...

Marcelo seemed hesitant.

He is the oldest player to join Real Madrid among players on the field. He joined in January 2007, followed by Robben. He joined in the summer of 2007. It stands to reason that the captain's armband should be Marcelo's past.

This is the tradition of Real Madrid's locker room, even Marcelo is now the team's third captain.

Of course, in the team's locker room, Marcelo and Higuain both made fun of each other, because both of them joined in January 2007, Higuain signed earlier, but came on January 11th. Marcelo signed a little later, but played on January 7.

Who is the third captain and who is the fourth captain has always been a mess.

But now, Higuain is not on the court, Marcelo is doing his job.

In the past few years, Marcelo's performance has been mixed. Even before 2009, he was almost sold because his performance was not satisfactory, especially on the defensive end.

Juan Dramos asked him to play the left winger, but he did not show the sharpness that the winger should have.

Until Yang Yang joined, Benitez brought a stable defensive system, Marcelo gradually found his place in the team, but whether in the locker room, or in private, Marcelo It's hard to think of himself as the eldest brother in the team. He has always played the role behind Yang Yang.

Like Brazilian teammates such as Maicon, Maxwell and Kaka, he is very close to Yang Yang, with Yang Yang as the head.

Nowadays, the team is at a critical moment in life and death, it is not difficult to take over the captain's armband, but ...

Marcelo was very upset and uneasy. He was hesitant and not confident enough.

But at this time, Yang Yang on the side of the stadium suddenly walked over to Casillas, and under the stunned eyes of everyone, he reached over and took the captain's armband.

At this moment, all Real Madrid players, coaches and staff on and off the stadium were stunned.

This is how many years Real Madrid has continued the dressing room tradition!

Yang Yang, is this going to break it?

Does he think Marcelo is not suitable for this captain?

Or maybe he wants to take advantage of this opportunity and replace everyone else with Gasser as the team captain?

Benitez's complexion on the sidelines was a bit worried, because he realized that Yang Yang's move might bring some disharmony to the dressing room.

Not everyone will obey him!

Of course, he wants to be a man, and no one can object.

He has this qualification!
