Chapter 660: Fierce Quarter-Final: Two Red Cards at Westfalen

"Wow!!!"

"Go, Ferran!"

The broadcast camera locked directly onto Ten Hag and Escrivá, who were still rolling around on the ground.

Of course, players from both sides were not idle; Haller, Haaland, and Rodri, among others, rushed up and successfully separated the two head coaches.

"Hey, don't do this, don't do this!"

Marti blocked Escrivá, standing in front of him.

One could see that the Dortmund head coach was now bleeding from the nose.

Ten Hag was no better off; many patches of skin on his forehead had been torn open.

Clearly, this was a genuine fighting competition.

The unprotected version!

"Calm down, calm down first!"

Marti shouted at Escrivá while a Dortmund staff member came forward to hand over tissues.

Seeing that Escrivá had no intention of wiping his nosebleed, Reus took over the task directly, grabbing a tissue with one hand and pinching the head coach's nose.

"Mm, mm!"

"Ah!"

Escrivá seemed as if he still wanted to trade insults with Ten Hag.

"Beep!!!!"

The second conflict finally ended; seeing that neither side intended to continue fighting, the referee pulled a red card from his pocket.

Based on proximity, he showed it to Ten Hag first, and then to Escrivá.

"Oh!"

reacard: -

redcard: -

It is extremely rare for a head coach to receive a red card; since their names are not recorded in the yellow and red card system, when a coach receives a red card, it displays as "unknown."

"You started this, yet you still threw punches!"

"Do you think what you did was right!"

Ten Hag rapidly fired off two questions, and just as he seemed ready to shout a few more words, Rodri covered his mouth the next second.

Because of Tang Ye, most players from both sides knew each other, so no conflicts erupted among the players.

However...

Actually, the head coaches also knew each other.

But knowing each other seemed to have the opposite effect on the two head coaches.

If not for their acquaintance, Escrivá probably wouldn't have shaken hands so forcefully, and Ten Hag wouldn't have retaliated.

"Wow wow wow!!"

"Get him, get him!"

The two fighting head coaches were pulled apart, leaving the fans in the stands deeply disappointed.

The fight had only just begun, and no winner or loser had been determined yet.

Why such haste!

"Get them out of here, out of here!"

The fourth official shouted, signaling both teams to quickly take their head coaches away and not leave them on the pitch.

The most important issue now was preventing Escrivá and Ten Hag from meeting!

"Please leave here!"

The referee spoke out.

With two red cards issued, regulations dictated that the head coaches could no longer remain on the pitch.

"Think about it carefully!"

Surrounded by players while walking toward the tunnel, Ten Hag suddenly pointed his index finger at Escrivá and shouted, prompting De Ligt to quickly cover his mouth.

"Wow!!!!"

Hot Discussion: What happened? Ten Hag and Escrivá came to blows during the post-match handshake, with both sides seemingly disagreeing over substitutions.

【Feels good, watched a 3 o'clock match until 6 o'clock; brothers, the sun has already risen on my end.】

【Don't worry about whether the sun has risen; just say whether it was good to watch.】

【Match rating 9.9, post-match rating 10.0; this is the traffic war between Manchester United and Dortmund.】

【Although I'm a Ten Hag hater, this time it's absolutely Escrivá's fault!】

【I think this is Tang Ye's fault; how so? If Tang Ye hadn't been injured, neither side would have started fighting, right?】

【You're thinking too much; productive forces determine production relations. The relationship between Ten Hag and Escrivá no longer matches the strength of their respective teams; an outbreak of conflict was inevitable, merely a matter of time.】

One match lasted from 3 o'clock until 6 o'clock, yet it was not completely over, as both sides still had post-match interview sessions.

Many experts appeared in the comment section, including philosophers and film directors.

It remains unknown whether Ten Hag or Escrivá will stand victorious in the end.

In any case, the results for the 2021 Oscar Best Picture have already been announced.

The irreconcilable conflict between Ten Hag and Escrivá has finally erupted; the first leg of this season's Champions League quarter-finals serves as the key historical node.

Crack! Crack!

Crack! Crack! Crack!!!

As the Dortmund players prepared to board the bus to leave, reporters kept rushing up from behind, wanting to interview the injured Escrivá.

However, Escrivá was now surrounded by Dortmund's players and staff, leaving the reporters no chance to approach him.

"Take care, Ferran!"

A Dortmund fan shouted.

Although Escrivá would be unable to command from the sidelines in the second leg, the Dortmund fans still hoped the Spaniard would stay healthy.

On the other side, Ten Hag also received advice suggesting he could postpone the post-match interview.

However, for the furious Ten Hag, there was actually no need to postpone the post-match interview, because sometimes an interview was his weapon.

"Eric, how are you feeling right now?"

"Do you consider yourself the righteous party, or did you actually make a mistake?"

"Has your relationship with Ferran always been like this, or did it suddenly change?"

"..."

The reporters fired off a barrage of questions; Ten Hag coughed repeatedly several times before the scene finally quieted down.

Touching the wound on his forehead, Ten Hag took a deep breath: "Actually, I think this conflict isn't important; what matters is the match played today."

"Shortly after the second half began, we scored our fourth goal, establishing a 4:1 advantage. Actually, everyone understands in their hearts that 4:1 was the true score of this match."

Crack! Crack!

Ten Hag suddenly shrugged his shoulders upward: "But unfortunately, we failed to seize this opportunity because our players' competitive state encountered some issues in the second half; I consider this very regrettable."

"Then may I ask... as the party counter-attacking, do you believe the novice Escrivá should bear the primary responsibility?"

"..."

Ten Hag did not answer the reporter's question immediately.

It was evident that he seemed quite unwilling to discuss matters related to the conflict.

For Eric, consolidating his 4:1 advantage after the match was far more important than any post-match conflict.

"Hiss... To be honest, I don't know why Ferran became so agitated; in my impression, our relationship should have been quite good."

Ten Hag touched the wound on his forehead again: "I believe head coaches, especially those of top-tier teams, should maintain a relatively appropriate relationship, learning and progressing from each other, rather than... um, engaging in some off-field brawling and the like."

"Do you consider yourself the righteous party? Or were you forced into this?"

"This has nothing to do with righteousness or lack thereof; some things indeed need to be settled through fighting. If Ferran wants to engage in combat with me, then let him come at me."

Ten Hag spread his right hand, making a "please" gesture.

"But before the fight begins, I hope Ferran can tell me exactly why he did this."

Ten Hag appeared somewhat innocent, and in reality, he truly was.
