Chapter 1029: The Reason for Calmness
Manchester City's players were originally very dissatisfied with Busquets's foul, but the referee did not say anything, only a verbal warning, which ignited the anger in their hearts, and they all rushed up to surround the referee to ask for an explanation.
But they were all persuaded by glory.
"Well, it's not necessary, it's not a big deal." Glory pulled up and questioned the referee's team-mate, David Silva.
David Silva turned his head and stared at Glory with wide eyes: "How can this not be a big deal?" You almost got in! Once you're in, you'll be able to shoot straight away! β
He shouted, could it be that Glory fell to the ground and knocked his head and broke his brain?
Rong Guang just smiled, and then went back to pulling the other teammates, yelling at the referee is really a super pointless thing, except for adding a yellow card to yourself, it doesn't help solve the problem, but in fact, players in the game are easy to do this kind of thing. Because in the fierce confrontation, people's feelings are easy to get excited, and once they are excited, they naturally can't take care of so much, and the most important thing is to vent their feelings.
So how important it is to keep your mind clear at all times during the game......
But it is often difficult for people who are emotionally excited to understand what those who are level-headed are doing at such times.
For example, David Silva is looking at glory in some disbelief.
Why wasn't he in a hurry at all?
We're playing Barcelona at home!
It's the defending champions, Barcelona!
Finally got a chance to score, why wasn't he in a hurry at all?
Shouldn't we put pressure on the referee at this time?
Even if he didn't give a card for this foul, let him know that this is Manchester City's home stadium, and the next time Barcelona players play these little tricks, they must not be spared!
David Silva certainly knows that protesting now is not going to get the referee to give Busquets a yellow or red card right away, but it will be possible later!
He didn't believe that Glory would not understand this, but why wasn't he in a hurry?
David Silva is not the only one who does this, but the other Manchester City players, who are pulled away from the referee by the glory, look at the glory in surprise.
They couldn't understand why Glory was so good at talking.
Was he scared out of his fighting spirit by Barcelona?
No way. Glory is not that kind of person.

On the other side, Busquets was proud that he had escaped. He rushed into his teammates and winked.
He was also surprised that he didn't even get a yellow card for this foul, but he definitely wouldn't take the initiative to ask the referee for a yellow card, if the referee didn't give it to him, he earned it, whatever the reason.
The rest of the Barcelona players were also happy that the crisis had been resolved, and they were clearly relieved.
But Iniesta, a brain-dead fan of glory, frowned, and Messi also had a grim expression.
Busquets was a little surprised to see these two people look like this: "What's wrong? We haven't conceded a goal yet! I don't even have a card, but I'm going to make ...... this time."
Iniesta shook his head: "I don't think so, Sergio. Don't get too happy. β
"Why?" Busquets spread his hands, puzzled.
"Didn't you look at the location before you fouled?" Messi next to him asked.
Busquets turned his head to look at the place where he had fouled, and he saw that Glory was bending over to lay out the football!
He reacted suddenly - he gave Rong Guang a direct free kick opportunity more than 20 meters away from the goal!
Although Glory's free-kick scoring record is only a small percentage of his total goals, that doesn't mean that Glory's free-kicks are bad, it's just that he doesn't need to score from free-kicks anywhere.
Straight in front of the goal, Glory won a free-kick, what will he do?
Busquets only felt a little scared at this time, but his mouth was still quite hard: "How can it be so accurate? The first free-kick will be a goal? The free-kick goal rate wouldn't be that high, okay......"
Messi shrugged, that's what he said, but glory......
Iniesta was particularly firm in his belief in glory, shaking his head: "No, never look at glory in terms of general laws. In short, the human wall must be built this time! β
With that, he ran back.
Busquets was stunned for a moment, and then rushed back to participate in the construction of the human wall.
He is 1.9 meters tall, so it is very useful to build a human wall.
Of course he knew how good Glory's free-kick was, but it was too late to say what he shouldn't have fouled.
The only thing he can do is block Glory's shot in the wall and push his own defense to the end. Otherwise, even if he used a foul to stop Glory's breakthrough, if Glory used a free kick to break through Barcelona's door, then his defense would still fail in the end.
β»β»β»
Barcelona is very nervous to build a human wall, and everyone on Manchester City's side understands why Glory seems so calm.
Because the place where Busquets fouled was so sweet...... Visually no more than twenty-eight meters away from the goal, facing the goal, this place is simply too easy for Rongguang to take a free kick. He doesn't know how many free-kicks he scored in this position in training......
David Silva isn't in a hurry.
He ran into the box and helped Glory interfere with Barcelona's defenders.
But in fact, he also knew that it was meaningless, Barcelona's defenders must have focused on Rong Guang at this time, and it was useless unless he ran in front of goalkeeper ValdΓ©s to hang around.
More often than not, he's just a spectator, watching the glorious show. As soon as Glory kicked it out and could score, he raised his arms and cheered, but if he couldn't score, he couldn't help it.

The glory was soon set up with football.
The place was too close to the goal, and he was not going to kick the elevator ball, but was going to curl the ball with his left foot.
Therefore, when he placed the football, he did not deliberately aim the valve core of the football at the point where he was kicking.
With the football set, he got up and stepped back.
Unlike the elevator ball, there is an angle between him and the football and the goal, which is the starting sign of the curve ball with the left foot, if it is an elevator ball, then there should be a straight line between him and the football and the goal, there is no angle.
The opposing defender can tell from the position of the glory what kind of free-kick he will use.
But it doesn't work, even if you know how Glory will play, sometimes you still can't guard him. It's like everybody knows Beckham must have been a right-footed free-kick, but his free-kick was a goal.
Rong Guang is not afraid that others will know how he is going to take a free kick.
After setting up the football, he waited quietly for the Barcelona players to set up the wall.
Barcelona took glorious free-kicks very seriously, and they fielded a wall of up to six men, three in addition to the goalkeeper, including Messi who was ready to counter-attack in front.
So in fact, most of the players in the penalty area are Manchester City, and the people of Barcelona are all in the human wall.
That's the free-kick threat of glory.
No one dared to underestimate him.
Not only does Barcelona have a lot of people on the wall, but they also stand relatively high on the wall.
According to the rules, the distance between the human wall and the football should be 9.15 meters, that is, 10 yards, but the Barcelona players rubbed forward by nearly half a meter.
Of course, this little action was reported to the referee by the Manchester City players, and the referee signaled them to back off, and in front of the referee, they did retreat. But as soon as the referee turned to leave, they moved up again, even further forward than before.
The Manchester City players pointed at them and yelled at the referee.
The referee came up again to correct their position, and Barcelona's wall slowly retreated while complaining, retreating a little distance and never moving again.
Naturally, City's players protested to the referee again.
However, the referee didn't bother to pay attention to it, and if he wanted to grind like this, he couldn't kick the free kick for another three minutes.
So he ignored the protests of the Manchester City players and blew the whistle straight in his mouth.
β»β»β»
When the Barcelona wall and the referee were battling wits and courage, Rong Guang stood quietly in front of the football, watching them, and he did not protest to the referee like his teammates.
Because he doesn't think it makes sense, and if you protest, Barcelona won't be obedient. As it turned out, he was right, and the human wall in Barcelona ended up being shorter than the stated distance.
So protests are pointless except to waste time.
On the other hand, Rongguang's quietness is also because he is very confident in himself.
Free-kick practice is the top priority of his current practice.
In the training base, in his own home, Rongguang will spare a lot of time to practice free kicks. Because free-kicks are a skill that requires a lot of repetition to maintain the form and feel of the feet. If you want to put your free kicks to good use at any time during the game, you need to train regularly. Once you haven't practised for a week, then when you take a free-kick again, you will feel rusty under your feet.
The referee's whistle sounded.
After two steps, he kicked the ball with his left foot, and the instep of his inner foot made contact with the football, lifting, and creating a huge friction.
The soccer ball takes off into the air with a very strong rotation!
Then the human wall of Barcelona jumped up, and everyone stretched their necks in the air, as if they were being pulled by the head and lifted up.
Busquets, in particular, was already 1.9 meters tall, and he jumped up and stretched his neck to look taller.
He and Pique are the tallest in the wall and the tallest in Barcelona's team, and the two of them are tasked with keeping the ball in check.
Sergio Busquets was overjoyed when he saw the football coming towards him β his biggest fear was that the football he played by Glory would be aimed at short Barcelona players, such as Andres Iniesta and Xavi. Then it's useless to jump high by yourself.
Well, now the football is coming to your head!
This ball is mine!
Busquets straightened up again in the air and tried to move himself up a little further.
He's looking forward to pushing the ball out with his head.
But he didn't stop anything.
He felt a gust of wind pass over his scalp......
The soccer ball flew over!
