Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1817 Where is VAR?

"Atlético Amsterdam's attack is shifting, Chen Xingyi is asking for the ball, okay...Eh?! Eh!!"

The commentator, who had been calm at first, suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

Because he saw Chen Xingyi knocked to the ground by Nazari.

And it's a restricted area!

Zhuang Jianhong, who was in front of the TV, also leaned forward from the bed and stared at the screen.

Although she rarely watches football and has no interest in football, she still somewhat understands what this scene means.

Penalty kick!

My husband said that penalty kicks are the way to score goals with the highest scoring rate!

But the game was not stopped because the referee did not blow the whistle at all.

The game continues!

Another Turin Bulls center back, Christopher Robestad, rushed from behind and kicked the football forward.

The Turin Bulls players also pressed forward quickly, without wasting a second, as if they were afraid that if they hesitated, the referee would blow the whistle.

The players of Atlético Amsterdam were quite divided. Some people rushed back to defend, while others gave up and shouted to the referee, pointing to the place where Chen Xingyi fell, indicating that it was a point. ball.

When Chen Xingyi fell down, he was secretly happy, thinking that he had created a penalty kick.

But he didn't hear the whistle. When he looked up again, the referee turned around and ran forward...

What the fuck?

What the hell is going on? !

He got up from the ground in panic, ran back, opened his arms and shouted at the referee: "Hey! Referee! He fouled! They fouled!! This is a penalty kick!"

※※※

"Fuck!" Chen Hantang couldn't help but cursed again. "You're not even blowing this ball? Did you get paid for it?"

He stood up from the sofa excitedly, pointed at the TV screen and cursed.

I believe that at this moment, the fans of Atlético Amsterdam are just like him, and they are all scolding.

The Dutch commentator was saying something in a fierce tone, and he was probably questioning the referee's decision.

※※※

"Eh?!"

The Chinese commentator was very excited at first. He was stunned when he saw this scene, and then exclaimed:

"Isn't this a foul? This is a foul! Nazari fouled,

He knocked down Chen Xingyi! "

Zhuang Jianhong didn't know if there was anything wrong with this penalty. She looked at the TV screen in confusion.

The game continues and so does the live broadcast.

The ball was kicked back and forth by the Turin Bulls defender. Atlético Amsterdam center back Jesper Ivensson jumped up and competed with the opponent's forward Pedro Grazzini. He was obviously angry - so obvious If the penalty kick is not called, are you blind, the referee? !

So when he was fighting for the top, he didn't use his strength. When he pushed the football back, he also knocked the Argentine forward to the ground.

This time the referee's whistle finally sounded.

But it was called a foul on Ivinson...

If this had been at the home stadium of Athletic Amsterdam, there would have been an uproar.

Players from both sides quickly gathered around. The Amsterdam Athletic players wanted to talk to the referee about Chen Xingyi's fall just now.

The Turin Bulls players accused Ivenson of committing a deliberate foul and should be given a card.

Ivenson did commit a foul, and it was a subjective and malicious foul. So the referee who ran over showed a yellow card to the opponent without hesitation.

This makes the Turin Bulls players and fans very satisfied.

But it angered the players of Sporting Amsterdam.

They surrounded the referee. Even Ivinson, who was shown a yellow card, didn't care about his cards. Instead, he protested to the referee: "Didn't you see what they did to our people just now?!"

※※※

Zhuang Jianhong felt that the current commentator was not tepid at all, because he was outputting like crazy:

"Where's VAR? Where's the VAR referee team? Isn't this the time when technology should play a role?! The video referee team should at least remind the referee and watch the replay, right?! Otherwise, why would VAR be needed?"

The intensity of this tone is completely different from when he was commentating on the game before...

Just as he was spraying, he saw the referee raising his hand and pressing the headset.

The commentator immediately changed his tone: "The video referee team should have reminded him... That's right! That's right! At this time, the video referee team must stand up and tell the referee what they observed!"

Seeing the referee raising his hand and pressing the headset, the originally indignant Athletic Amsterdam players immediately waved to remind each other:

Quiet! Don't disturb the call between the referee and the video referee team!

But the Turin Bulls players, who were smiling just now, panicked.

They gathered around and wanted to discuss with the referee...

The referee didn't give them this chance. He waved the players on both sides to stay away from him.

Then he quickly made a gesture of making a rectangle with both hands, and then pointed to the sidelines - this is the gesture for going to the sidelines to watch the video replay!

There were loud boos in the stands.

Amidst the boos, the referee took the lead and ran to the sidelines, and the players from both sides followed him and ran to the sidelines with him. But they didn't leave the field, they just stood there.

Looking at the small screen nervously and apprehensively.

Chen Xingyi is also among them.

He really cares about the result of this penalty.

Although in the Champions League, creating a penalty kick does not count as an assist.

But if it can really help the team get a penalty kick, for Chen Xingyi himself, it will be an assist!

This "assist" will undoubtedly greatly reduce the pressure on him.

For Chen Xingyi, this is the "turning point" he has been pursuing!

The turning point of the state bottoming out.

He didn't want this turning point to slip away from his hands.

The TV broadcast also gave Chen Xingyi a close-up shot.

Then the video referee team signal seen by the referee is cut to the TV audience.

Not only can everyone look back at the physical collision between Chen Xingyi and Nazari from multiple angles, but they can also follow the referee's hand to pause or drag the progress bar.

Therefore, audiences around the world can not only watch the referee make decisions, but they can even make judgments on behalf of the referee.

For example, the Chinese commentator is making a conclusion:

"Nazari did knock down Chen Xingyi - when he took a step forward, his knee hit Chen Xingyi's side! Anyone who has studied physics knows that when an object is moving in a straight line and at high speed, from Applying a small force in the direction perpendicular to the direction of its movement can make it lose its balance. This is exactly the case for Chen Xingyi! So Nazari actually does not need to use too much force, as long as he pushes against Chen Xingyi, It can make Chen Xingyi fall! So regardless of Nazari’s strength, as long as he comes into contact with Chen Xingyi, this is a 100% sure foul!"

Zhuang Jianhong nodded in agreement.

※※※

"There should be no doubt about the penalty!"

Chen Hantang said to himself in a very determined tone.

He is a senior fan, so he naturally knows that in his opinion, this is an obvious penalty kick, and he can make a conclusion without too much observation.

In his view, as long as the referee decides to watch the video replay instead of directly rejecting the VAR referee team's request to watch the video, then the matter is basically stable.

The penalty kick didn't go away.

The reason why I didn't blow it immediately was probably because my vision was blocked and everything happened too fast.

If the referee doesn't think it was a penalty kick after watching the video replay, then he will probably receive a penalty from the UEFA Disciplinary Committee tomorrow...

※※※

After watching the video replay several times, the referee turned around and ran to the court. Players from both sides gathered around nervously, with everyone's eyes focused on him.

In full view of the crowd, the referee drew a rectangle with both hands, indicating that the penalty was made through VAR technology.

Then he pointed his hand... at the Turin Bulls penalty area!

"Penalty kick! That's right! It's a penalty kick!" the Chinese commentator cheered excitedly. "Chen Xingyi created a penalty kick for Sporting Amsterdam through a breakthrough! Although this penalty kick will not be counted as an assist, it is still a good boost for Chen Xingyi who is stuck in a sluggish state, pushing him out of the Quagmire’s help!”

※※※

Seeing the referee's decision, the players of Atlético Amsterdam applauded.

The Turin Bulls players seemed very disappointed and dissatisfied.

But no matter how dissatisfied they are, the referee's decision cannot be changed, and they can only accept this result.

And it was clear from the video just now that Nazari did commit a foul.

Just giving a penalty kick and not giving a yellow card is already considered magnanimous by the referee.

Players from both sides ran towards the Turin Bulls penalty area.

Chen Xingyi is also among them. Although he will not take penalty kicks, he must be prepared to make follow-up shots.

But halfway through, he was hugged.

"Hey Star."

When he turned around, he found that it was Jaden van Bruggen, the team's main forward, and the opponent said something that surprised him: "This penalty kick is for you."

Chen Xingyi's eyes widened when he heard this: "But why..."

"You need this goal more than me." Van Bruggen laughed.

As a Dutch international who just transferred from Dome Lop last summer, Van Bruggen is physically strong and has delicate skills with his feet. He has the body of a traditional center and the scoring ability of a traditional center.

Chen Xingyi scored 11 goals in the team's middle half of the season, and he is not yet the top scorer in the team.

The team's top scorer is Van Bruggen. He scored three more goals than Chen Xingyi, scoring 14 goals in half a season.

However, due to Chen Xingyi's consecutive failure to score, Van Bruggen has left him further and further behind in the team's scorer list. Now he has scored a total of 18 goals, ranking third in the Eredivisie league's scorer list. One person.

In the first half of the season, the two of them were somewhat competitive, but that problem no longer exists.

After the initial shock, Chen Xingyi was not hypocritical. He really needed this chance to score.

So he nodded: "Okay, I'll kick."

Van Bruggen grinned at him and said, "Come on!"
