Chapter 494 - 0216 Hundred Steps Through Yang (Seeking Subscriptions)_5
Unmarked, Guti sprinted into the area from the left. Just past the penalty area line, he pulled the ball back with his left foot. Oleg stretched out his foot and tripped Guti, making it a clear case of the ball getting past but not the man.
The head referee, Marionko, ran up to Oleg and showed him a yellow card.
"Penalty!!!"
"It’s a penalty chance for Real Madrid, and there’s no question about this foul. Oleg’s stamping motion caught Guti right on the ankle."
"Hahaha, but the Barcelona players are arguing with the referee, and Camp Nou has erupted with huge boos. Hehe, the referee is shaking his head emphatically, firmly pointing to the spot. The Real Madrid players step up to block the Barça players from talking to the ref. The atmosphere in today’s El Clásico is just starting to get tense; up until now, both teams had been focused on attacking, without any explosive incidents."
"Yes, look at Ramos, always so proactive. The Barça players didn’t get the result they wanted. Cassano seems like he wants to take the penalty, but Ramos shoved him aside. Ramos is pulling Huang Kaiwen to the spot. Capello is also shouting instructions from the sidelines; it must mean they want Huang Kaiwen to take the penalty. Huang Kaiwen is really trusted by both the team and the coach. To let him take the penalty in such an important game."
"Right, hehe, when you’re leading and the opponent isn’t strong, taking penalties can boost the goal tally, but in crucial games like this, taking a penalty comes with considerable psychological pressure."
Huang Kaiwen managed to calm Cassano and Ramos before he walked up to the spot.
These two guys can start an argument out of nothing, but they never really come to blows.
