"Liar! Liar! Guti was framed! The referee, Malenko, was deceived by Gijon's performance! He was fooled! " The Real Madrid commentator fiercely attacked Javier Blanco, saying that Blanco was a liar who faked injury to deceive the referee, causing Guti to be sent off "unjustly."
"Guti brought this upon himself." The Gijon commentator continued his crusade against Guti. "Blanco reacted quickly and avoided Guti's injury. He was lucky. However, Mata was not so lucky before!"
The slow-motion replay showed Guti kicking Javier Blanco's ankle. This should have been a very obvious intentional foul, but Blanco seemed to have been alerted. Before Guti's flying tackle touched his ankle, he moved a little and avoided the flying tackle. Then, the Sporting de Gijón young man pretended to be hit by the tackle and rolled around in pain …
Looking at this scene, the commentator was also stunned. On one hand, it was because of Guti's obvious injury, and on the other hand, it was because of the young Sporting de Gijón player's acting.
"Blanco was not injured. Although his behavior was part of an act, in fact, Guti did deliberately injure him." Dagestino said a fair sentence. "So, Guti's second yellow card was not unjustly given."
"If the referee had not shown mercy, Guti would have been sent off by the referee," González said.
"This is a big blow to Real Madrid. They are two goals behind and now they have another player sent off."
The Bernabéu boos were deafening, but the Real Madrid fans did not think so. They just thought that Blanco's exaggerated performance caused Guti to be sent off "unjustly." They thought that they were the victims …

Li Ang walked over and hugged Blanco, who was receiving treatment on the sidelines. "Well done!"
Blanco's face was also filled with an excited smile. He was very happy to have completed the task given by the boss.
The unscrupulous celebration of the Sporting de Gijón manager and Blanco, the "perpetrator," angered the Real Madrid fans even more. The anger and dissatisfaction in the entire stadium continued to rise.
"How is he?" Li Ang asked the team doctor, Marotta. He was worried that Blanco was really injured.
"No problem." Marotta said, "This kid twisted his ankle and dodged Gutti's flying tackle. Perhaps he would have been injured by the tackle if he had missed by a few centimeters."
Li Ang scratched Blanco's hair. "Don't do this again. I'm more worried about you guys getting hurt than that guy."
Blanco smiled and nodded.
Javier Blanco was fine. After getting permission from the main referee, Malunke, he returned to the stadium. At this time, the entire stadium was filled with boos.
In the remaining minutes of the first half, as long as Blanco had the ball, the boos were the loudest. This young man suddenly became the most hated person by the Real Madrid fans.
The Sporting de Gijón fans would cheer loudly. In the visiting team's stands and in front of the television, countless Gijón people applauded Blanco and cheered for his "heroic act" of taking down Gutti!
The Real Madrid manager, Luxemburgo, was furious with the referee's decision to send off Gutti. He roared at the referee and was verbally warned by the referee, Malunke.
*****
Gutti accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off with a red card.
Real Madrid was one player short on the field.
As Li Ang expected, Gutti's departure was not only a numerical disadvantage for Real Madrid, but also a direct drop in their tenacity in the midfield.
Sporting de Gijón also took the opportunity to launch a wave of attacks on Real Madrid's goal.
"Sporting de Gijón intercepted the ball. Carlos blocked Beckham's transfer ball. They immediately launched an attack. Di Natale stopped the ball beautifully. He passed the football to Ribéry who plugged in. Ribéry cut inside and shot! It was pounced by Casillas. Sporting de Gijón's corner kick! "
"Albertini's corner kick. Diego Milito's header was pounced out! The football did not leave the penalty area. Blanco jumped up for a header and fell to the ground! Blanco fell in the penalty area! He seemed to have been hit by Pavin from behind! But the referee signaled for the game to continue. Pavin's reasonable collision! This caused Manager Li Ang's anger! "
Li Ang was furious on the sidelines. "A penalty kick! This is a foul! An absolute penalty kick! "
The fourth official looked at the exasperated Chinese with a black face. "Manager Li Ang, if you have any questions about the game's penalty, you can write them in the post-match report …"
"Can the report compensate me for the penalty kick?" Li Ang roared.
"Uh —" The fourth official almost choked. He glared at the Chinese man and said, "Please pay attention to your tone and emotions. If you don't restrain yourself, I think I'll have to ask the referee to come over."
"Come on, you guys only know how to bully honest people like this." Li Ang spread his hands and sneered. Then he put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked back.
He was not an idiot. He was so angry that he almost scolded, but now he calmed down and controlled his temper a little.
The fourth official looked at the coach's back with a black face. He was very angry. Are you f * cking honest? Then wouldn't all the coaches in La Liga and La Liga be honest people?!
*****
A minute later, the referee, Malunke, blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.
The entire Bernabéu was booed. Looking from the stands, there were white handkerchiefs waving everywhere.
"The first half of the game is over. Real Madrid's home ground is down two to zero against Sporting de Gijón! And their vice-captain, Guti, was sent off with a red card. "
"This is a result and situation that none of us expected. The Galácticos are facing the opponent who once robbed them of the Copa del Rey title. They are determined to take revenge, but at the end of the first half, the home team is in a bad situation."
"Di Natale and Albertini! The two Italians have scored separately. Real Madrid is in a major crisis! "
The Real Madrid manager, Luxemburgo, went straight to the locker room angrily when the whistle sounded at the end of the first half of the game.
The Real Madrid players also looked grim and walked toward the players' tunnel without saying a word.
The Sporting de Gijón manager, Li Ang, stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel at the Bernabéu. The man had a smile on his face and high-fived every player who came over: from the striker, Diego Milito, to the midfielder, Juan Carlos, to the defender, Pepe, and then to the goalkeeper, Valencia. He high-fived all the starting eleven players.
And these players, except for the Real Madrid's old captain, Hierro, who had a somewhat calm expression, were all so happy.
The camera faithfully presented this scene on the sidelines to all the fans and spectators.
When the Real Madrid fans saw this scene, it could be said that they were gnashing their teeth in hatred. The boos in the stands could already be said to be a sonic weapon that was suffocating and deafening. Fans began to throw debris off the field.
Coins, mineral water bottles, and even mobile phones were thrown down.
Fortunately, the police in Madrid were already prepared. There were security personnel who raised their riot shields at the entrance of the players' tunnel to shield the Sporting de Gijón players from the debris thrown from the stands.
The things that fell from the stands smashed onto the riot shields, producing clanking sounds.
Li Ang did not care at all. He high-fived the goalkeeper, Valencia, and then did not forget to say "thank you for your hard work" to the Madrid police officers who looked at him with an unfriendly expression.
Then, he slowly bent down and disappeared into the players' tunnel.
The area outside the players' tunnel at the Bernabéu stadium was left in a mess and the entire stadium was filled with boos.
*****
"This guy is really showy!" Someone in the media said.
"I can't help but want to beat him up." Someone gritted his teeth.
"Well done!"
"The Madrid people are comfortable now." There were also people who did not like Real Madrid who were gloating and cheering for Li Ang. Most of these were media reporters from Barcelona and Valencia.
"I'm looking forward to the second half of the game even more now," someone said. In the first half of the game, the away team was leading Real Madrid by two goals, the controversial referee, the red card … It was almost all the explosive factors … Many people immediately looked at each other and smiled. For the media, most of them were just watching the fun and did not mind blowing things up.
