Chapter 346 Mixed joys and sorrows
Llorente's flying shovel also forced Bruno to leave the field for treatment, which shows how dangerous his flying shovel was just now.
After Lorent received a yellow card, Valencia received another yellow card.
Similarly, this player who received the yellow card also came from the Valencia's offensive line, and it was Xu Qi!
This time, Xu Qi was also too fierce in fighting. When he was competing for the header with Lorent in the midfield, Xu Qi deliberately raised his elbow and knocked Lorent to the ground.
The tall Llorente withdrew from the midfield to get the ball this time and entered Xu Qi's defense zone.
Although Xu Qi's figure is not as tall as Llorent of 194, Xu Qi's ability to bounce is very strong. This time, Xu Qi raised his elbow and hit Llorent's face.
Then, Lorent fell to the ground.
This is a bit of angering for Bruno.
Therefore, Xu Qi was also warned by the referee with a yellow card.
Less than ten minutes into the game, the arrowheads of the two teams each took a yellow card.
Xu Qi also explained to the referee that he did not intend it, and he also vaguely regretted the elbow lifting action just now. Fortunately, the referee did not directly take out the red card.
Moreover, Llorente had no big problem, so he stood up after a moment.
However, when the players of both teams played football, they also brought some gunpowder smell.
Especially when Xu Qi takes the ball, he is always flew by Athletic Bilbao players.
In the fifteen minutes, after Xu Qi broke through Harvey Martinez in the middle, he was ready to enter the penalty area of Athletic Bilbao, and Harvey Martinez retreated in time to side tackle Xu Qi.
Because the ball was tackled, the referee did not blow.
This made Xu Qi a little unhappy.
This game was a bit intermittent, with more fouls, and both sides had relatively large movements.
However, when the game was twenty-one minutes later, Valencia found an opportunity to win!
Xu Qi took the ball from the left. Facing Gabirondo's tackle, Xu Qi directly dodged Gabirondo's legs with the flexible change and frequency under his feet, and then Xu Qi directly pushed the ball to Mata at the front of the penalty area.
Mata kept making the ball back and made a very successful wall-to-bang cooperation.
Xu Qi quickly took over Mata's pass and went forward, leaving Javi Martinez on the right and Osio on the left behind.
In an instant, Xu Qi broke into the penalty area of Athletic Bilbao.
Then, Xu Qi shot hard!
Forced the right foot to hit the lower left corner and pressed against the ground arrow!
This ball was extremely difficult to save. Although Elesos tried hard to save it, he did not save the ball.
Xu Qi completed the goal!
Valencia leads one to zero.
Xu Qi found Mata again and came with him again to hug him.
In the middle of the week, Xu Qi once made a wonderful story about Mata, but now Mata is a wall for Xu Qi.
Now, the tacit understanding between the two people has increased sharply, which is also the two major players that Valencia needs most on the offensive end in the future.
In this game, Joaquin was injured in pre-match training. If you lose Joaquin, you still need young players like Xu Qi and Mata to create direct scoring opportunities.
This is Xu Qi's third goal in the La Liga field, scoring three goals in six rounds of games. As a midfielder, such data is already quite good.
However, in the La Liga, if you want to compete with Messi and Ronaldo like data-making, the goal rate is a bit pitiful.
The game continues, and Athletic Bilbao naturally does not want to lose this game.
In the first five rounds of the game, they encountered two strong conversations and lost them. If they lost this strong conversation, the Basque people who are full of fighting spirit will not be too stubborn.
However, in terms of strength, Valencia does have the ability to score three-pointers at home. It is still unrealistic to Athletic Bilbao to get points purely by fighting spirit.
This game was indeed a chaotic battle, and the score of 1-0 in the first half was not changed.
In the second half, at the beginning of the game, Valencia once again threatened Athletic Bilbao's goal with a counterattack.
This time the shot came from Soldado, slightly off.
However, after this counterattack, Soldado's feeling became better and better. If this continues, Valencia will have a brand new attack point.
Soldado has the ability to become a thigh-level figure in Valencia.
Sure enough, in the 68th minute, Fernandez assisted Soldado and scored.
The score was rewritten to two to zero.
It seems that Valencia is sure to win. Valencia seems to be going to win this strong conversation. Valencia is indeed very outstanding this season.
Their defense line is also quite complete. Compared with the defense line where Inter Milan scored four goals in a row in the middle of the week, this defense line is much better.
This is also due to Emery's adjustment.
However, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. In the seventy-three minutes, Topal was a little sticky and accidentally was intercepted by Igor Martinez.
Then, Athletic Bilbao had a chance to go two against two in the frontcourt.
This was a very dangerous moment for Valencia. When Xu Qi saw Topal's ball being cut off, he immediately went back to make up for defense. Before Igor Martinez dribbled into the penalty area, Xu Qi did catch up and directly pulled Igor Martinez down with his hands.
"Shh!"
The referee whistle sounded, and the set-piece opportunity at the front of the penalty area.
Fortunately, it was not a penalty kick.
The players of Athletic Bilbao are constantly complaining to the referee.
Sure enough, the referee still took out a yellow card from Xu Qi. This tactical foul, he had to get a yellow card, and Xu Qi had no choice but to spread his hands.
In order to make up for Topal, Xu Qi had to pay the price of his second yellow card.
Sure enough, the two yellows turned red. After the referee took out the yellow card, he immediately exchanged a red card for Xu Qi.
Xu Qi didn't say much, so he could only walk down the field helplessly.
In this game, Xu Qi still received a red card.
In Xu Qi's career, it is rare to get cards, let alone red cards.
This time, Xu Qi really got a red card, and at least in the next round, he will be suspended.
In the next round, Valencia's opponent is Mallorca.
And Xu Qi's comeback battle is Barcelona!
Fortunately, I didn't miss the most critical game.
Emery patted Xu Qi on the shoulder, and Xu Qi just lowered his head and walked back to the locker room silently.
Athletic Bilbao then did not seize the opportunity to set the ball, and the score did not change again until the ninety minutes.
In the second minute of injury time, Athletic Bilbao did not give up in the end, Gabilondo scored a goal and changed the score to two-to-one.
In the end, Valencia won another victory, still playing a sing of triumph and reaching the top of the scoreboard.
Chapter completed!
