Chapter 521: The Fuse of the Storm!

Atletico Madrid suffered a defeat in Moscow, and the media were not surprised.

The weather in Moscow is really bad these days, it's freezing cold, and it's really hard for the Spanish team to adapt there. However, apart from the Russian media, not many people think that CSKA Moscow can knock out Atletico Madrid and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

In terms of the strength of the two sides, a one-goal lead will definitely not guarantee the promotion of CSKA Moscow, and they may even be bloodied by Atletico Madrid in Calderón.

The Spanish media believe that Atletico Madrid has such quality.

And in the league..... Now the Spanish media has begun to discuss when Atletico Madrid will lose.

While Atletico Madrid kept moving towards AC Milan's record, the Spanish media were singing for Atletico Madrid, but now, the entire La Liga league is about to be swept by them! The direction of public opinion in the media began to change gradually.

In terms of media coverage, the media has now begun to discuss when Atletico Madrid will lose.

It is clear that people are starting to get tired of Atletico Madrid's unbeaten run.

In addition to the fans of Atletico Madrid, fans of other teams are tired of opening newspapers, televisions, computers, and seeing and hearing news about Atletico Madrid's unbeaten run.

This kind of news is really unappetizing.

A back-to-back unbeaten run is an honour for Atletico Madrid, but for fans of other teams, it's nothing to be happy about.

Many people hope that Atletico Madrid will lose quickly!!

.......

All of Spain wants Atletico Madrid to lose.

But for Gao Bo, it's not a big deal.

Even if they want Spain to lose, even if they grit their teeth and curse, they will be unscathed against Atletico Madrid.

So, after returning from Russia, Atletico Madrid immediately set off for Gijón to prepare for the next league game.

Although this is an away game, but no one is still struggling with relegation, Sporting Gijón can pose any threat to Atletico Madrid, and there is not much suspense in this game.

Even Atletico Madrid thinks so.

The score of the first half was 1-1.

Atletico opened the scoring through Sergio Aguero's long-range shot from outside the box, but Sporting Gijón was awarded a penalty shortly after a wide cross from the edge of the box was deflected off by Boateng.

Although both Boateng and Atletico Madrid's players were protesting, as Boateng believed that his hand was tightly attached to his torso, the goal should not be considered a penalty.

However, the referee on duty in this game was unceremonious, and he even showed a yellow card to the protesting Boateng.

This made Gao Bo and others on the sidelines quite unhappy.

However, there is nothing Atletico Madrid can do about the referee's decision.

So Sporting Gijón equalized from the penalty spot.

The first half of the game, except for this penalty, can be regarded as uneventful.

But in the second half, the game changed dramatically.

In the 58th minute, Modric was injured in a scramble with Sporting Gijon's defender Nacho and was carried off the pitch on a stretcher.

It's normal for players to get injured, but in a long season, it's inevitable that players will get injured.

Gao Bo went to take care of Modric's condition, and the team doctor's initial examination results were that the injury was not too serious, and he could return to the game after about a week's rest.

What makes Gao Bo unhappy is that Nacho, who caused Modric's injury, was not punished in any way, in his opinion, the referee should have given Nacho a yellow card, but this did not!

The Atletico Madrid players went up to protest, but they were all blocked by the referee.

The game had to go on, so the Atletico Madrid players put up with it.

On the pitch, it's the game that counts.

Cork came on from the sidelines and Atletico Madrid were forced to make a substitution.

And what happened shortly after this substitution made the Atletico Madrid players completely explode.

In the 67th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid's players created an offside trap and put Sporting Gijón striker Ayoze inside.

Then Sporting Gijón's long pass from the back found Ayoze, who took the ball in the box and shot it into the net.

However, for this goal, the players of Atletico Madrid seem very calm.

Because Ayoze's offside is so obvious, there is more than one position, he is more than a meter offside.

Boateng raised his hand to signal for Ayoze offside, but Navas didn't even react.

Because his offside was too obvious and the other Atletico Madrid players didn't rush back to defend, Ayoze shot with ease.

With such an obvious offside goal, do you still need to defend?

But things are not as simple as the Atletico Madrid players imagined.........

.........

Gao Bo heard the referee's whistle, which he thought was a whistle to signal offside, and then he was ready to ask the referee to give Ayoze a yellow card.

If the referee continues to touch the ball after the whistle has been blown, the referee can give a yellow card.

But the whistle blew and the referee ran into the penalty area and ....... I pointed to the middle circle!!

This is a goal valid?!!

Gao Bo was taken aback.

He looked at the linesman.

The linesman didn't raise the flag either, but ran to the center circle!

That's what it means to score a goal!

What's going on?

How can this ball work?

The Atletico Madrid players were also stunned.

Especially the players on the back line, this offside trap was completed perfectly with their tacit cooperation, Ayoze completely fell into the trap, when passing the ball in the backfield, Ayoze was offside by more than a meter, this is definitely offside, no doubt!!

But why didn't the referee blow for offside, but blew the goal for validity?!!

Captain Raul Garcia rushed to referee Teixeira and told him that it must have been offside.

But the referee did not change his decision, his fingers unswervingly pointed to the middle circle, indicating that the goal was valid!

Raul Garcia held his head in his hands and stared round.

"This is offside, sir, this is definitely offside!!"

He also pointed to the big screen at the scene, which was replaying the moment when Ayoze had just scored.

Even if there was no line, it was clear that Ayoze was offside.

Perhaps it was Raul Garcia's gesture of pointing at the big screen that led the referee to think it was a challenge to his authority.

Referee Teixeira fumbled in his pocket and soon, he pulled out a yellow card.

He gave a yellow card to the protesting Raul Garcia!

This completely angered the players of Atletico Madrid, and even the coaches on the sidelines.

Almost all the Atletico Madrid players came up and they surrounded the referee.

This yellow card seems to be the fuse of a storm!
