Chapter 100 Red Card
Berbatov's sudden barb shot was beyond everyone's expectations. Even Enke didn't react, but the ball hit the crossbar by some strange circumstances, and there was a loud noise, which made all Leverkusen fans feel sorry for it!
"Damn, this ball is amazing, but the crossbar is charged? How can we stop this world wave?"

"This goal is going to be scored, and it will definitely be the best goal of the season."

"Luck doesn't seem to be on Leverkusen's side."

After the ball fell, Metzelder pushed it out. After Nick squeezed Fryer to get the ball, he drove out with a big kick.

Nick still praised Berbatov's shot. The Bulgarian's awareness is very good, and this kind of shot can be thought of by him. It seems that Berbatov has thought of a lot of tricks in order to be the main player and become famous as soon as possible.

After calling Metzelder and Matthaus, Nick expressed his opinion.

"Both of you pay more attention to this Bulgarian, I guess he will have a lot of unconventional moves."

"Yeah, the ball almost scared me to pee just now, damn it, the barb in front of the penalty area, thanks to him thinking of it!" Metzelder said with a face of shock.

Mateus said relaxedly: "Don't worry, I will let him retreat."

The subsequent game process confirmed Nick's thoughts, and Berbatov began to perform intentionally.

In the 51st minute, Ze Roberto leaned on Sinclair and suddenly passed a waist-high half-high ball. After being touched by Metzelder, the ball changed direction and landed in front of Berbatov.

Berbatov stared at Mateus with a bad face, and he knew that Borussia Mönchengladbach was paying attention to him.

"Hmph, you want to freeze me? It's not that easy!" Berbatov retreated while thinking. To get rid of the opponent's strict marking, Berbatov had an idea in his heart.

Borussia Mönchengladbach controlled the rhythm a little bit through this interception. After Nick took the ball, he passed the ball to Deisler, trying to pass Deisler's possession of the ball a little slowly. Mönchengladbach's ball possession rate is very low. Although this is intentional, it does not mean that every player is convinced, and Deisler is one of them.

"Why should I be beaten? In my Sebastian's dictionary, such a word must never appear!" Deisler secretly made up his mind to teach Leverkusen a lesson.

After getting the ball, Emerson pushed towards Deisler. After Emerson switched to playing as a midfielder, his personal style has changed a lot. He is a player with strong ball control ability, so he knows the opponent's characteristics very well. Emerson is very experienced in dealing with the opponent's breakthrough characteristics.

But Deisler knocked the ball to the left with his heel, but he ran to the right, which short-circuited Emerson. After turning around, Deisler immediately threw off Emerson, quickly passed the center line, and began to attack the Leverkusen penalty area!
Carl stood up with a look of surprise on his face off the court. Carl seldom stood up. During the halftime break, Carl also explained to Deisler to reduce breakthroughs, but Deisler disobeyed this time.

The situation on the court was extremely favorable for Borussia Mönchengladbach. Deisler and Janker played against Lamelo, Nowotny and Niko Kovac. Although they played 2-on-3, Deisler did not back down, but actively sought physical contact with the opponent.

Of course, this is an illusion created by Deisler. Once the opponent posts it, Deisler will have full confidence to break through the opponent, thereby causing the opponent's defense to loosen, allowing the real murderous intention to come.

Ramello rushed over, but Ramello didn't rush to get close to Deisler. He was obviously afraid of Deisler, knowing that Deisler would break through, and he was very skilled.

Deisler sneered in his heart, and then immediately poked the ball, relying on his speed advantage to force LaMelo.

"Is there nothing I can do if you don't fit close?" Deisler was very proud. Faced with such an accelerated breakthrough, LaMelo had no choice but to foul, but LaMelo was half a beat behind, and Deisler had already rushed over. He could only instinctively reach out and grab Deisler's jersey.

The referee ran over and took out a bright red card from his trouser pocket. The dazzling red made Leverkusen players run over frantically, surrounded the referee, and tried to put pressure on the referee to withdraw his order.

"Mr. Referee, isn't this penalty a bit too much? Carsten is not the last defensive player, so it is not worth playing such a card!" Novotny shouted loudly.

According to the rules of the game, this is indeed the case. There are Nowotny and Nick Kovac behind Ramello. Although his foul is bad in nature, the red card is indeed a bit heavier.

"Are you questioning my level? In the game report after the game, I will add your sentence." The referee responded with a stern face. The Germans are rigorous, and Nowotny absolutely believes that the referee will do this. In this way, the loss outweighs the gain. Not only cannot LaMelo's red card be exempted, but he is more likely to get himself involved and be punished by the Football Association.

After protesting for a while, the Leverkusen players knew it was useless, so they could only shake their heads and go back to organize the defense. LaMelo walked off the field with a look of resentment, regretting his actions just now.

Nick laughed and ran up. The referee's decision naturally had his reasons. Maybe he thought LaMelo was a malicious foul, or maybe the referee thought that Deisler's breakthrough would definitely lead to a goal.

But this free kick is indeed an opportunity, 22 meters away from the goal, Nick's heavy artillery is definitely enough to threaten.

After discussing with Deisler for a while, the two stood on the left and right sides of the ball.

Leverkusen's human wall was lined up carefully. Although they didn't know who would take the penalty, they could only adapt to the situation. To deal with Nick's heavy artillery, they needed to respond in advance. To deal with Deisler's curve ball, it would be slightly better. Of course, the premise is that Deisler's footwork is not so unnatural.

Borussia Mönchengladbach fans in the stands shouted the names of Nick and Deisler to cheer for the two. A female fan even screamed: "Nick, Sebastian, if you score this goal, I will accompany 10 Borussia Mönchengladbach fans for free tonight!"

It was obvious what this lady was doing, and the male fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach beside him were overjoyed, the benefits were not bad, so the cheers for Nick and Deisler became even stronger.

Facing the cheers of the fans, Nick felt the blood in his body boiling, looked at the opponent's crowd, and then gave Deisler another color.

The referee whistled, and Deisler moved. Deisler's movement was surprising. He touched the ball, which made Leverkusen's wall jump immediately, but Deisler didn't shoot, but knocked the ball lightly, and then dodged the gap. Nick rushed up to aim at the ball and volleyed!
