Chapter 204: Red Card Penalty
The away team took the lead in 2 minutes, which made the Mallorca team, which has been smooth sailing recently, extremely excited, hugging each other to celebrate the scoring lead, and Ibargasa was also overjoyed after sending the assist, and jumped up and hugged Han Sen next to him, and the two stood there with their shoulders and backs happily, waiting for Arango and others in front of them to return to the hug.
"Oh, it's a goal!" Xie Yalong in the box had just picked up a glass of water before putting it to his lips, "Is it Han Sen?" It's not Han Sen. β
Li Xinran didn't dare to make a sound, so he only whispered to Wang Yiming beside him: "Director Wang, when are we going to the UK?" β
Wang Yiming said: "Are you in a hurry? Rushing home? β
Li Xinran said in her heart that I really didn't know what I could say on this occasion, of course I could only digress, and of course I couldn't say it: "No, I'll just ask." β
Wang Yiming said: "Since they have all come out, why are you still thinking about so much, just follow the big army." β
Li Xinran looked at Du Yi on the other side, Du Yi was watching the game very seriously, and he was still taking notes while watching, Li Xinran really wanted to have a deep exchange with the current head coach of the national brand while watching the game, but unfortunately the language is not understood and the occasion is not right now.
Having taken the lead quickly, Mallorca continued to follow the experience of previous games, starting to play with the ball in the middle of the back, around the two points of Ibargassa and Hansen, playing with their feet. But the Espanyol team is obviously not as good as the previous opponents, Luis Garcia and Tamudo in the forward line, and de la Pena in the midfield, are all very experienced players in the game, seeing that the opponent started to control the ball so early, he immediately took advantage of the opportunity of physical strength to carry out a front-court counter-robbery, and the counter-robbery was very layered and routine, Tamudo and Luis Garcia were responsible for two defenders, and then midfielder De la Pena watched Ibagasa, and Zabaleta followed Hansen, As long as these people choose to pass between each other instead of opening their big feet, they use anticipation to make tackles around the front, which makes it difficult for Mallorca's backcourt to organize the ball smoothly, and only big feet drive to the front.
"It's not very pretty." Wang Yiming said intentionally or unintentionally, and also took the haode water in front of the seat to drink.
Li Xinran couldn't take his eyes off it: "The scramble of both sides is very fierce, the middle and backfield can't hold the ball, and they play long passes and rushes, and Han Sen's position is a little meaningless." β
Wang Yiming snorted and didn't comment more.
Li Xinran glanced at Xie Yalong, Nanyong and the others, who seemed to be sitting there more like they were watching some kind of theatrical performance, talking about topics that seemed to have nothing to do with football, and then easily cast a little stingy glance on the field.
Due to the open game, the fouls also increased sharply, and even Han Sen fouled again and again in the midfield, not for anything else, mainly in the competition for this kind of flying header, Han Sen's body hardness and bounce occupy a certain advantage, and it is often the other party that falls between collisions, so it is easy to bring the feeling of foul play.
Mallorca full-back Nunez, who provided an assist in the last game, was attacked more by Tamudo on the left in this game, and had to resort to foul tactics to stop Tamudo's progress.
RaΓΊl Tamudo, full name: RaΓΊl Tamudo Montero, He was born in Barcelona Sta.Colomade Gramanet, just over 30 this year, as an iconic figure of RCD Espanyol, he has been with RCD Espanyol since 1999, as of last season, he made 249 appearances for the team, scored 102 goals, is the team's all-time leading scorer, this season he has scored slightly fewer goals, and now he has only scored eight goals in the middle of the season. Tamudo won the Copa del Rey in 1999-00 and 2005-06 with Espanyol, as well as runners-up in the UEFA Cup in 2006-07.
In the 20th minute, Tamudo relied on himself to break through Nunez and cause a foul on the opponent, and changed a free kick from the left side of the field.
Manzano shouted for his teammates to come into the box to defend, and Hansen was no exception, as he was in charge of the opposition striker Tamudo. And the penalty is Luis Garcia, at the moment of Luis Garcia's free throw, Tamudo keeps changing the pace of movement around Han Sen, and at the same time occasionally makes physical contact with Han Sen, and occasionally leaves a little, varied, Han Sen can't help but sigh in his heart, what a good player, only in this one-on-one situation, can you recognize the excellence of a player on the other side, because only in this case, you can find out what ideas and actions the other party has that can surprise you. In the face of a player like Tamudo, Han Sen was naturally even more engrossed, not even paying attention to Luis Garcia's free kick, but staring at Tamudo with all his might.
The referee blew the whistle, Luis Garcia took the ball out of the left and spun into the box, while Tamudo pretended to retreat at this time, and suddenly it was a forward cut, Hansen fully estimated his feints, and was not fooled at all, almost running forward with Tamudo, while also trying to lean forward against him and make him lose his balance.
Just when the two were entangled, Han Sen looked up and saw that captain Arango was also defending at the front point, with a big No. 18 behind him, but the arc of the ball shot by Luis Garcia was slightly weird, Arango jumped up at the front point to fight for the header, and it seemed that he did not grab the landing point, and the ball smashed directly on Arango's Tianling cover and changed, passed the finger of goalkeeper Moya, and then flew into the net nest against the lower edge of the crossbar!
1 to 1! The Spaniards relied on the opponent's own goal to equalize, and it was the captain Arango, who scored in the second minute to lead the opponent, who gave the own gift!
Hansen, who was mostly focused on man-to-man defense, barely saw the process of scoring the goal, and almost only turned his head to find that the ball had gone into the net when he saw the ecstatic expression on Tamudo's face, and then the frustrated back of Arango in front of him, Hansen guessed that it might be Arango who scored an own goal.
Seeing the Espanyol's players running in ecstasy on the field, Hansen walked up behind Arango, patted him on the shoulder, and said his first words in Spanish: "Come on!" β
Arango then bowed his head and followed Han Sen to the halfway line to tee.
"Does Han Sen speak Spanish?" This time, it was Wang Yiming's turn to take the initiative to come over and ask Li Xinran, "Do you have Spanish classes in your school?" β
Li Xinran scratched his head: "We are a college focusing on economics and trade, and of course there are elective courses in Spanish for economics and trade, but as far as I know, their football team can only guarantee a passing grade in English, and there is not much time to study foreign languages, let alone Spanish." Han Sen's major is Chinese language and literature, and he should have taught himself Spanish after coming here! He told me that the club had hired a local Chinese female student to teach him Spanish, and he also worked as a translator for the competition. β
Wang Yiming suddenly realized: "Then it seems that Han Sen's communication skills on the field are still good." β
Li Xinran smiled: "If you want to talk about your understanding of Han Sen, maybe there is no one else except me, he is a stuffy gourd in the crowd off the field, he has changed people on the field, he knows how to communicate with anyone, and he is willing to take the initiative to do this, he is born to be a captain and a leader, before coming this time, I happened to meet Xu Genbao again, Xu Genbao told me about Han Sen, meaning that if Han Sen doesn't leave, this time the Chinese League is ready to let Han Sen be the captain." β
Wang Yiming heard Li Xinran go out of his way to praise Han Sen, a mask-like smile appeared on his face, and his eyes looked at the situation on the field, noncommittal.
At this time, the rhythm of the game on the field is still going in the direction of getting faster and faster, Han Sen can still only play the role of a scramble in the midfield, most of the time, it is just a header in the middle circle, and Mallorca, who has been accustomed to the ball-control style of play, is naturally not as good as the Spaniards are used to this kind of long pass rushing style of play, a few minutes later, I saw that this Tamudo once again got a long pass in Mallorca's backfield, and even got rid of Ballesteros's defense with a stop and unloaded, ready to insert it in, And Ballesteros's 1.88 meter size, facing the 1.78 meter Tamudo, turned around was obviously not as flexible as the other party, and in a hurry, he subconsciously reached out and pulled down Tamudo.
The referee quickly blew the whistle, stretched out his hand to signal the penalty, and at the same time showed Ballesteros a red card!
Red card plus penalty! Less than five minutes after Espanyol equalised, the 25th minute of the game came and was undoubtedly the worst possible result for Mallorca, who were playing away.
