Chapter 53 Conflict
When Ribery fell in the penalty area of Nottingham Forest, Evan Dogette on the rostrum seemed to have eaten a plate of caterpillars raw, with a wonderful expression. But the more exciting thing is definitely not off the court, but on the court.
After Pepe pushed Ribery, he thought his move was very light, and at most he just interfered with Ribery's movements and did not give him the chance to shoot at the first time. But he didn't expect Ribery to fall and fall into the Forest's penalty area. It was just a penalty kick!
Seeing Ribery lying on the ground, Pepe suddenly became furious, and a stream of evil fire rushed to his forehead, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
He first kicked Ribery directly in the leg. The force of this kick also made him lose the center of gravity and fall next to Ribery.
The matter is not over. He pressed Ribery's head again, gritted his teeth and roared in Ribery's ear: "You are a despicable liar!! Bastard! You...a bitch!"
He wanted to continue to yell, but he didn't realize that Ribery's face was deformed by using all his strength.
This scene looks really terrifying to outsiders.
Pepe was unaware of it. His hands were still exerting force, and his mouth was still roaring. Until he was suddenly added up by the two people, he was still trying to kick Ribery unhonestly.
"Pepe!" Bell struggled to hold Pepe, while Woodgate blocked Pepe, preventing him from pounced on Ribery.
Ribery was still lying on the ground.
Real Madrid players have rushed over to stand up for Ribery. Higuain stepped forward to argue with Pepe, but Pepe punched Higuain in the face through Woodgate!
At this time, Pepe was completely different from the impression he had given to people with good old people in the past. He was furious like a storm, and everyone in front of him had to be prepared to bear his anger.
"And hit someone!" Benzema rushed up to take revenge on Pepe. He saw Higuain squatting down with half of his face covering his face. It seemed that this punch was unclear.
Before he could run up, he was separated by the Forest players.
The players on both sides squeezed into a group in that small area. They pushed and shoved, and cursed in vain. The scene was in chaos for a moment.
Although Bell and Woodgate pulled Pepe and wanted to separate him, Pepe still kept breaking away from their constraints and rushed towards Ribery. At the same time, he kept shouting: "You liar! Don't pretend to fall if you have a habit! A bastard traitor! You fake fall to cheat on penalty kicks. What are you? You are a bitch!"
"Enough, enough!" Bell pulled Pepe's body from behind, feeling very difficult. Pepe, who was held by him, was like an angry bull. "Stop scolding, Pepe! You're in trouble! You're going to be sent off by a red card!"
"Punish it!" Pepe, who was red-eyed, didn't care whether he would be sent off. Now he was like teaching the traitor who was pretending to fall. His shoulders suddenly shook, opened Bell and Woodgate, and was about to continue rushing up.
At this time, George Wood slapped him on the neck, causing the swear words that he had stuck in his throat and could not be spit out. No one saw where Wood rushed out, and no one saw him take action.
He looked at Pepe, who was a little surprised with a cold face: "Calm down."
Pepe had blue veins on his neck, and he was competing with Wood. Unfortunately, he could not beat this captain, who was much stronger than himself, could only grit his teeth and looked at Wood.
Wood pushed Pepe back with force: "Get out of here!"
"He..." A low growl came from Pepe's throat.
"This is not a boxing ring." Wood stared at Pepe. After saying that, he rushed forward, hugged Pepe firmly, and dragged it down the field.
"Let me go and let me teach that cowardly traitor a lesson!"
Pepe was still struggling. But this was useless. He couldn't resist Wood and was eventually dragged to the sidelines.
Just as Pepe was still struggling, the referee also escaped from the group of impulsive players. He ran towards Pepe. Then he showed Pepe a red card directly!
Real Madrid fans in the stands gave the boo to Pepe, while Nottingham Forest fans were booing Ribery. At this time, there were booing in the stands.
After Wood dragged Pepe to the sidelines, he slapped him out again. Pepe did not return to the court this time. He just chatted to the assistant referee who provided a basis for the referee to the penalty kick: "You bastard referee, I suggest you should wear glasses next time! No, bring your brain together!"
The assistant referee also responded without showing any weakness: "You violent person are not qualified to point fingers at my work."
Pepe ignored him and walked towards the corridor with swearing words like "you" and "him". He walked past Tang En, still cursing. Tang En slapped the back of his head.
"What are you doing?" Tang En glared at Pepe who was stunned. "Look at you doing good things! We were awarded a penalty kick, and there was one less person!"
Pepe wanted to defend himself: "I didn't foul, that was a fake fall..."
"Even if it's a fake fall, can't you be calm? Bastard!" Done pulled Pepe to the corridor. "Go back to the locker room and think about it!"
Pepe was still dissatisfied. He pointed at the court and shouted angrily: "Even if I am calm, I am as calm as an iceberg! The referee will give me a yellow card. I already have one on me. Boss!"
Tang En was frightened by Pepe's sudden outbreak. He looked at Pepe. He opened his mouth but said nothing.
"I hate that bastard Ribery! I hate him! But I didn't just hate him just now! I hate him to the core! I used a despicable fake fall to cheat the penalty kick and let me lose two bad things! This is all the plan of that dog god! I want him to pay the price! I can't stand this tone!"
Pepe clenched his fists and shouted.
"But you have made us pay the price now..." Tang En spread his hands. His tone was not as intense as before.
In the player corridor, in the corridor where no one saw it, listening to the overwhelming booing outside, Pepe seemed to finally calm down. He was silent for a while, then lost all his strength and his shoulders collapsed.
"I'm sorry. Sorry. Boss..." His voice was low and he kept murmuring. It was like a child who realized that he had mistakenly begging his father for forgiveness.
Don Eun stepped forward to touch his bald head: "Frank is already a Real Madrid player, so he naturally has to consider the problem from the perspective of Real Madrid. You two are just enemies on the field, not enemies for life. If you want to make him pay the price, you should try to stay on the field, defeat him and his team, and win the Champions League in front of him. "At this point, Don Eun sighed, "But nothing you say now is useless, you have been sent off. Go back to the locker room..."
Unexpectedly, Pepe shook his head and said firmly: "No, boss. I'm here, I'm going to watch our team beat Real Madrid."
Tang En shrugged: "It's up to you."
Then he turned and walked out of the corridor and returned to the coach's seat.
At this moment, the conflict on the court has ended. After George Wood pushed Pepe out of the field, the crowd of conflict has dispersed. The referee gave Mitchel and Benzema a yellow card each, playing 50 boards each. However, this cannot reduce the smell of gunpowder between the two teams. Nottingham Forest players still glared at Real Madrid players.
Frank Ribery, the culprit of all this, was surrounded by his Real Madrid teammates. The people around him were laughing happily and even excited, but Ribery's own smile was a little reluctant. The mood was not high.
Of course he knew that he had exaggerated the power of Pepe's push. With such a slight push, as long as he was willing to, he could not even move the center of gravity. But in doing that, he was absolutely not sure to break through the Forest team goal. Since that's the case, why still insist? Almost 80% of offensive players would choose to fall to the ground and cheat a penalty when facing this situation... No, this can no longer be said to be a "deception". This is a reasonable use of the rules...
Thinking of this, his deep guilt reduced a little. He exited the penalty area and waited for his teammates to give a penalty.
As long as the ball is in, Real Madrid will be pulled back from the edge of the cliff. The suspense of the game will continue. Real Madrid fans don’t have to leave the game early.
He stood outside the penalty area and looked at Higuain who was placing football. His palms were covered in sweat.
When Chris Lack saw Donn walking back, he met him and asked, "How is Pepe?"
"I feel that my emotions have stabilized." Don Eun looked at the stadium as he walked. "Higuain is here to take the penalty..."
"To be honest, Tony...Peppei scared me just now. I have never seen him so angry."
"I haven't seen it before." Tang En glanced at his assistant. "But... maybe there is always a place that everyone can't provoke, and there are always some things that will make them intolerable..."
To be honest, Don Eun has to thank Pepe, because if Pepe didn't explode, he would probably be the one who was sent out. When he saw Ribery fall, his swear words almost blurted out, and then he saw Pepe's sudden outrage. So Don Eun, who was shocked by Pepe, naturally swallowed the swear words in his mouth. Next, Pepe attracted all the firepower of everyone. He didn't have to show off his head anymore...
"Replaying Pepe's actions just now... it really surprised us." Although Pepe had been driven out of the court by a red card. But his performance just now still shocked the commentators. "Pepe has a good temper in Nottingham Forest and has a clean defense on the court. He has not even received a red card this season, and most of the time the conflict on the court has nothing to do with him. But such a good man actually seemed to be crazy. Perhaps the pressure in the finals is too great..."
"He made a foul to give Real Madrid a chance to equalize before the end of the game. Maybe it was because of this. Judging from the slow motion, Pepe did push people without a doubt, but Ribery fell to the ground was too exaggerated... With such a light push, he actually dived like a big truck hit..."
The commentator did not say that this was a fake fall, but he also felt that Ribery was exaggerating. Nottingham Forest’s penalty kick was a little unfair…
It would be useless to have a little bit of injustice. Even if Ribery really made a fake fall, the referee had already made a penalty, so it could not be changed. The players of Nottingham Forest stood outside the penalty area with resentment, waiting for Higuain to play a penalty.
When Higuain took the penalty kick, the visiting fans who were behind the Forest goal were booing wildly, trying to interfere with the Argentine scorer's psychology.
Under great pressure, Higuain calmly deceived Akinfeyev and scored the ball.
The ground suddenly shook in the stands, as if it had been an earthquake.
Real Madrid fans' depressed emotions were finally expressed after dozens of minutes. They waved their fists in the stands and cheered. At that moment, only one voice could be heard at the huge Bernabeu Stadium:
"Long live Madrid!!"
Akinfeyev was completely deceived by Higuain's previous eyes. When he rushed out, he realized that he had pounced in the wrong direction. Teng was in the air and turned his head unwillingly looking at the football flying straight to the middle...
Before Higuain took the penalty, the players and fans of the Forest team were still lucky. Under such great pressure, maybe the Argentinian would kick the football away directly?
Unfortunately, Higuain's current psychological quality is definitely not as good as Amon in the past.
After scoring the goal, Higuain ran to the stands where Nottingham Forest fans gathered and made a "shut-up" gesture. What he got was of course a lot of booing.
Akinfeyev kicked the rebounded football into the midfield in annoyance. The loss of the ball at the last moment of the game was really a blow to morale.
Michelle stood on the sidelines and applauded the penalty, while Tang En stood with his chest on his chest, raised his face and said nothing.
What the two head coaches were thinking, you would know by looking at their expressions.
Michelle must be glad that he and his team survived. And Tang En was cursing in his heart because of this unexpected penalty kick.
Real Madrid players were still celebrating the goal, while Nottingham Forest players were dejected. Just after the penalty kick was made, the fourth official also announced the time for the injury stoppage time on the sidelines.
Due to the conflict caused by Pepe, the injury time was given a full five minutes.
Real Madrid fans and Nottingham Forest fans are quite satisfied with this stoppage time because they don’t want to give up the game and go directly to overtime.
In this regard, Real Madrid players seem to be more fighting spirit. They just equalized the score and were very upbeat and wanted to resume the game immediately and attack Huanglong.
Nottingham Forest was stunned by the ball, and the players were surrounding the referee, trying to explain to him what had happened in the penalty area just now.
When Tang En saw this scene off the court, he knew that the possibility of scoring another goal in the last five minutes to kick Real Madrid into the abyss was almost zero. He decided to give up the idea of attacking and giving it a try.
"Tell them that we will fight back in the last five minutes." Don Edward waved his hand powerlessly and said to Chris Lakke next to him. Then he turned around and walked back to the coach's seat and sat down.
Eastwood was a little worried and came over. Just as he wanted to open his mouth, Donn interrupted him: "I'm fine. Freddy, let me be quiet for a while, I want to think about how to play in overtime..."
