Fox in the Penalty Area

1st person

"Penalty kick!! The Chinese team's young central defender Qin Qi fouled Akua! This is a penalty kick without a doubt! His hand did grab Akua's shoulder, and there was a backward force action!"

"Is this a penalty kick? Qin Qi's action didn't make Akuwa fall down so obviously, right? And judging from Awaku's actions, he was even stunned for a moment before he remembered that he should fall But... this is too fake, isn’t it?!”

The commentators from Nigeria and China had completely different views on the penalty of this ball.

Amid their exclamations, Qin Qi stood there with his hands raised. One meter behind him was the penalty area line.

In front of him was Akua lying on the ground.

The latter didn't feel any pain at all and was shouting loudly.

The Nigerian players swarmed him, pressed down on him, hugged him and celebrated as if they were celebrating a goal.

They celebrated like this under Qin Qi's eyes.

Qin Qi's body was constantly collided by the swarming Nigerian players, and his body swayed left and right.

In the end, I had to take a few steps to the side.

Then he turned his head and looked in the direction of the referee.

I found that the referee had been surrounded by his teammates, who were arguing with the referee emotionally.

But he couldn't hear exactly what was said.

There were only various noises in his ears now, and when they were mixed together, they sounded like they were laughing at him:

Give some away when you come on stage, garbage! You are simply rubbish!

※※※

Wang Yuan in the stands looked at the figure standing alone in the penalty area, feeling heartbroken beyond measure.

Her son made a big mistake in his first World Cup game...

She hasn't gone online yet, but she can fully imagine what the attitude towards her son should be on the current Internet.

There must be all kinds of verbal and written criticism!

The scolding is as unpleasant as it sounds...

Her worst fears finally came true.

Unlike his wife who was worried in the stands, Qin Lin, who was sitting on the coaching bench, was indifferent and did not show any expression that could let people guess his inner thoughts.

Just as Wang Yuan was worried, there were indeed many voices blaming Qin Qi on the Internet in China.

Although most of the people scolded Akwa for diving,

But some people think that flies don't bite seamless eggs. If Qin Qi didn't pull it with your hands, how could Akuwa take the opportunity to fall?

Especially those who were confused and dissatisfied with Dillon's substitution of Qin Qi before, now they have found sufficient reasons to question Qin Qi's appearance.

"What did I say? What did I say? I just said, replacing Qin Qi is a complete failure! Now he comes up to give someone a penalty kick. I see how Dillon can adjust!"

"How to adjust? Of course he is indifferent! He can't possibly replace Qin Qi again, right? Wouldn't that be like shooting himself in the foot?"

"Qin Qi is still too young and lacks experience. The opponent is obviously waiting for him to get the ball. As long as he gets it, the opponent dares to throw it... Alas! So the central defender position requires experience! It's true that he is too young. No way!"

"I think Dillon has taken this step too far and is ridiculous? Even if he wants to train young people, he shouldn't use World Cup games to train him!"

"It's great to have a father who is the coach of the national football team. Not only can he be selected into the twenty-three-man list over others, but he can also play in such an important game!"

Of course, some people spoke for Qin Qi:

"This ball was clearly a dive by Akua. How can we blame our own players? Are you scolding the wrong person? It's like someone's money was stolen. Instead of blaming the thief, you blame the person who was stolen. It’s like putting money on someone’s body…”

However, such a rational voice had no volume at all in the current excitement of the crowd, and was quickly drowned out by angry shouts and curses.

In fact, the Chinese team is still two goals ahead. Even if Nigeria gets a penalty kick, the situation is not at the end of the road.

However, in the eyes of many Chinese fans, this penalty kick means that Qin Qi has become the biggest loophole in the Chinese team's defense.

Nigeria, which has tasted the sweetness of Qin Qi, will continue to attack here in the next games. This penalty kick may be just the beginning.

※※※

No matter how the Chinese players protested and appealed, the penalty kick was not changed.

Because according to the rules, Qin Qi did take action and did make a pulling movement. Although the range of the movement was not large, the penalty kick does not depend on the range of the movement, but on whether there is a foul.

If there is, if the opponent falls to the ground, then you are committing a foul.

You can only blame yourself for giving the other person a chance to fall.

In the end, the referee dispersed the Chinese team players surrounding him and signaled the Nigerian players to come up and take a penalty kick.

During this process, captain Wang Guangwei found Qin Qi and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Don't take it to heart, Xiao Qi. That's not your problem, it's because the other party is too cunning. You can kick him as you should, understand. Yet?"

Qin Qi nodded reflexively.

But in fact, he didn't know how much he actually listened to Captain Wang's words...

The penalty kick was taken by Nigeria's main center Zade Okuye.

Although Lin Zhiyuan judged the right direction, he was still beyond his reach.

The ball kicked out by Okuye was so powerful that it went straight into the goal!

"Oh! The ball was scored!" He Feng sighed. "Nigeria got one point back with a penalty kick...Although the Chinese team is still ahead, they are only ahead by one goal..."

Everyone knows that in a football match, being one goal ahead is the most dangerous score.

Especially when the opponent has just scored a goal.

Next, the morale-boosted Nigerian players will launch a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal, hoping to score another goal in a short time and equalize the score.

Most of the Chinese fans who were still laughing while watching the game in the first half could no longer laugh at this time.

The smiles on their faces disappeared completely, and they had no intention of chatting while watching the game, nor did they tease the Nigerian players like they did in the first half.

After the game restarted, Nigeria's morale was indeed stronger and their fighting spirit was higher.

They also had the upper hand on the scene. For a while, the Chinese team's goal was filled with turmoil and danger.

※※※

"Okuye!"

Nigeria's forward Zaide Okuye suddenly shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area!

Lin Zhiyuan jumped sideways and failed to touch the ball!

However, the football was not hit within the goal frame. Instead, it missed the outside of the goal post and flew out of the baseline.

It scared the Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TV into a cold sweat.

"Wow! It's so dangerous!"

Okuye put his head in his hands and looked very upset.

But he quickly re-entered the game, calling on his teammates not to fall back, but to stay at the front.

Soon Nigeria's attack came back with a vengeance.

This time it was Opoku who got the ball. Facing Qin Qi's defense on the left, he started on the spot and wanted to get rid of Qin Qi.

Qin Qi quickly turned around and chased him, but this time he didn't dare to take action.

In terms of speed alone, he couldn't beat Opoku.

"Opoku! Watch out! He bursts in!"

Fortunately, Wang Guangwei rushed over in time and got stuck in front of Opoku. The latter tried in a hurry to continue passing, but Wang Guangwei saw the right opportunity and destroyed it.

Only then did Qin Qi run back.

Wang Guangwei gestured to him: "Be decisive when you start, don't hesitate!"

Qin Qi nodded reflexively.

Wang Guangwei didn't say anything more to him, but quickly returned to his seat.

But he still frequently cast his eyes on Qin Qi.

He could see that Qin Qi's performance after the penalty kick was a bit unstable.

But he didn't grab Qin Qi's collar in full view of the public and ask him to concentrate.

He just decided to help Qin Qi more in the next defense.

But if he helps defend Qin Qi, his defense zone needs help.

So Wang Guangwei shouted to Ou Yangjin: "Ou Yangjin! Pay more attention to my position!"

He didn't explain in detail, but Ou Yangjin understood what he meant and nodded in agreement: "Okay, Captain Wang!"

※※※

"Wang Guangwei! He once again made a key defense! After Akuwa broke through Qin Qi, Wang Guangwei appeared behind Qin Qi in time and blocked the loophole! During this period, the Chinese team's defense line suffered a huge The pressure! Wang Guangwei works as two people, it’s really hard work!”

After Akua broke through Qin Qi, Wang Guangwei rushed forward, put his hands behind his back, twisted his body and moved his legs, blocking Akua's cross from the baseline.

"Qin Qi was obviously affected by the penalty kick and was very timid on the court... He must cheer up as soon as possible, otherwise the pressure on the Chinese team's defense will continue to increase, and the ball will still be conceded if this continues!"

Yu Jintao tilted his head towards Qin Lin, covered his mouth with his hand, and said to him, "Do you think the old man shouldn't let Xiao Qi play?"

Qin Lin also covered his mouth and replied: "No, sooner or later he will have to experience something."

"Aren't you worried?"

"It's useless to worry, and Wang Guangwei is helping him. I believe in Wang Guangwei."

Yu Jintao glanced at Qin Lin in surprise. He did not expect that Qin Lin's confidence did not come from his own son, but from Wang Guangwei...

He set his sights on the court again.

After just blocking the Nigerian player's cross from the baseline, Wang Guangwei, in this corner kick defense, got ahead of the Nigerian players and pushed the flying football away.

After landing, Wang Guangwei was still waving his arms, directing the Chinese team's players to press up and cause offside.

Facing the Chinese players who were pressing forward, the Nigerian player who got the second spot couldn't find the ball release point, and in the end he could only take a long shot.

But the long-range shot was of very low quality, weak and weak, and was easily embraced by goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan.

"Wang Guangwei is an underrated player just because he doesn't like to be in the limelight."

Next to Yu Jintao, Qin Lin whispered.
