Chapter 128 Penalty kick

The time moved forward another thirty seconds.

"Abel Duo headed the ball from the back position!"

Herris' commentary was prolonged at the moment Abeldo took off the ball.

However, he immediately saw where Abeldo's ball was heading.

The ball was quite straight, going in a straight line towards the front point, far away from the goal!

When he saw this, Helis was already sure in his heart that there was no chance of this attack.

Sure enough, the level of a defender's header cannot be inferred using common sense.

Herris's explanation was to continue: "This header is too far away...wait a minute!"

I’ll stop here because after the header was refracted, in the God’s-eye view shot of the TV broadcast, the refracted ball popped up and seemed to hit the Barcelona player’s arm. This is something to be considered.

"Is there any suspicion of handball in the penalty area?" Elway was also confused.

"It's Bo Yang. His hand seems to be interfering with the direction of the ball!" Herris looked at the player's number and said immediately. Then, he spoke very fast and explained: "Abeldo is here.

Raising his hand to signal a penalty kick foul, the referee should have expressed his reaction."

"The referee is blowing the whistle now!"

"Let's see the referee, Adlan, he will give..."

"Penalty kick?!" Herris's voice suddenly increased after seeing the referee's next action!

"Yes, that's right! The referee awarded a penalty kick and gave Tarragona a penalty kick! A penalty kick opportunity!!!"

"God! It's only been a few minutes!"

"First it was a free kick and now it's a penalty kick."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this penalty kick opportunity is given, what does it mean?

This means that if Tarragona scores this penalty, it also means that the current score of the game will be changed again!

Tarragona, it will be 3:0 Barcelona! At their home court!

In addition to the previous first round away game, could it be that...

"This penalty... is crazy! It's so crazy!"

Herris's voice was already hysterical when he said his last words.

This change was so sudden, I didn’t expect it at all! There was no sign!

This penalty call not only made it difficult for the Barcelona players to calm down, but also for the commentator Herries and the special guest Hervé who were directly commenting on the current game on Tarragona TV.

…

Back to the present.

"Good! Good! Very good!!!"

When he saw the result of the penalty kick coming out, on the sidelines, Tarragona head coach Mandy rushed out of the coach's seat under the awning in excitement.

He waved his fists and shouted wildly, regardless of the fact that the rain falling in the sky had wet the coat he was wearing.

Because of Mandy, he was so excited!

Because of this continuous opportunity, as long as we seize this penalty kick now, it is very likely that the Tarragona team will be able to reverse Barcelona!

What kind of competition is this? I didn’t expect it at all!

First it was a free kick, and now it was a penalty kick. In less than five minutes, it was like ascending to heaven!

This has never happened before in any match played by the Tarragona team!

“…”

Regarding this penalty kick, Barcelona's head coach Guardiola was unusually still sitting in his seat with a sullen face and said nothing.

But that doesn't mean Guardiola doesn't care.

In fact, he cares a lot.

The current situation, Guardiola knows, is a bit out of control!

Is there any way to solve it?

Thinking of this, Guardiola turned his eyes and looked at the figure actively moving in the warm-up area.

Maybe he was a little careless today.

I hope it's not too late to remedy the situation now.

"Get Leo ready to play."

Guardiola informed the assistant coach.

Although Guardiola saw that the players on the field were still trying to deal with the penalty.

But he knew very well that it was almost impossible to change the result of the referee's decision.

………

When the penalty result is given, even if you know it is difficult to change, you still have to do it for show. No matter what, you still have to ask for an explanation.

Some Barcelona players reacted to the referee's decision and became emotional.

"That's not a penalty!"

"The referee shouldn't be a penalty kicker."

Barcelona players spontaneously surrounded the referee Adran who awarded the handball foul.

Among them, Bo Yang is the easiest to count, indeed, because this penalty is really making people’s heads burn!

Bo Yang waved his fingers repeatedly and loudly defended Adlan: "This is not a penalty! My handball is not a foul!"

Next to Bojan, Barcelona captain Xavi walked over. His husband reached out to stop the somewhat excited Bojan behind him, and then defended Bojan's handball foul, "Yes, his arms were not open.

Open, the ball hit his back arm, it was not an intentionally expanded defensive move!"

Chen Yang stood aside with his hands on his waist. He was taking a short rest and watching the excitement.

The current situation seems to be a replay of what happened in the first half when referee Adran awarded the Tarragona team a penalty kick.

However, this time the roles have been reversed, and it is Barcelona who will start a controversial discussion over this penalty kick.

But is this ball in dispute?

Maybe it's just that after the ball was bounced, Bo Yang raised his arm back after landing, arguing whether it was intentional or not.

In this year's football world, there is no VAR, and the penalty kick rules for handball fouls in the penalty area have not been changed. Such debates have very little power to affect changes in penalties.

On today's football field, it is still the referee's personal independent judgment that determines the result.

The referee on duty today, Adlan, has made some controversial decisions in the current game, but more often than not, his whistle is not soft and he gives cards when it is time to give them cards. He wants to find reason for those who come around.

Barcelona players are waving their hands.

Only the loud voice of Adlan, the referee, was heard, "I saw it very clearly. His open arms were quite big. This was a handball in the penalty area. There is no problem with my decision."

"There is no problem with my penalty."

If Adlan had any questions about his penalty, he repeated it twice. After Adlan said it, Adlan also pointed to the side, which was a signal to the Barcelona players who gathered around him to disperse.

But the Barcelona players did not disperse immediately.

The team's captain, Xavi, was still standing in front of Adlan, looking at the referee and saying nothing...

In this regard, the referee Adlan did not give in. He stood still and looked at Harvey, who was also staring at him.

Want to cause trouble?

Chen Yang, who was standing on the edge watching the excitement, felt a little excited in his heart when he saw this scene.

If you are not dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, it would be a great thing to confront the referee.

However, this does not exist.

“…”

After Xavi looked at each other, the current captain of the Barcelona team, he calmly looked away, and then stopped Bojan behind him from walking to the side.

As Xavi walked away, the people gathered around Barcelona naturally dispersed. So far, no conflict had occurred.

"pity."

Chen Yang sighed.

He said this with the attitude of watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.

Then, Chen Yang looked towards the stadium stands in the distance.

There was still a slight drizzle in the sky, but it came from the stands. After the penalty was awarded, the cheers and cheers never stopped.

Fans, watching this scene, everyone may be extremely happy.

After all, this is a penalty kick.

A penalty kick that can equalize the score or even change the situation.

Well, in the 70th minute.

Not only the game time, Chen Yang also saw more information on the electronic score display.

The current time is 20:53. The real-time score is 2:0 (total score 3:4)

"There will be a penalty kick soon. Maybe the total score will become 4:4." Chen Yang thought to himself.

He was somewhat looking forward to the next penalty kick.

At this time, the cheers from the fans in the stands became even more enthusiastic, accompanied by waves of applause.

At this time, Chen Yang heard...

"Chen Yang! Go take your penalty kick!"

The voice of the old captain Silin came, and Chen Yang came back to his senses. He looked over and saw that Silin came over. Then, the old captain actually gave Chen Yang the football he was holding.

Seeing that a football was suddenly stuffed into his hand, Chen Yang's eyes widened slightly. What was he doing?

Chen Yang couldn't help but asked in a loud voice: "Are you sure you want me to punish you like this?!"

Silin, the old captain who gave the penalty kick opportunity to Chen Yang, saw Chen Yang's reaction after receiving the ball and laughed and teased Chen Yang.

"What? Even you, Chen Yang, would think this ball is hot?!"

"Now I give you a chance to refresh the data, why is it like this?"

"If you really think you can't kick it, then that's okay, just let me kick the ball."

Although the old captain said so, after the ball was played, he put his hand behind his back and had no intention of returning the ball in Chen Yang's hand.

When Chen Yang heard what Silin said, he shook his head and smiled, "I didn't feel it was hot!"

"I just... I didn't expect it."

Chen Yang didn't expect anything. He really didn't expect that this penalty kick would be given to him.

This was definitely something beyond Chen Yang's expectation.

Absolutely absolutely!

Because this is a penalty kick opportunity!

It is the most likely and easiest opportunity to score a goal in a football match.

Now, Silin, the old captain of the team, actually gave this penalty kick opportunity to him, Chen Yang, to take the kick.

However, just after Chen Yang finished speaking, the old captain patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't think so much, you deserve it."

What do I deserve?

Listening to the old captain's words, Chen Yang felt a little confused. The doubt was about what he should get.

Is it this penalty kick?

Is it because the data can be refreshed?

Or should I say...

Just holding the ball like this, Chen Yang unconsciously tilted his head and looked around.

Then, he saw people like Morente, Abelardo, Capezzi, Cordo, Movic, Benato... these people were unconsciously beside him.

Morente gave him a thumbs up, Abeldo smiled and pointed him to the location of the penalty spot, and Movic shouted to him with a playful smile: "Why don't you take the penalty kick, big star!"

Capezzi, Cordo, Benato... and others are actually applauding Chen Yang, now!

Chen Yang saw the happy expressions on each of their faces, and also saw the personal admiration, support, encouragement, cheering, congratulations, and trust that came from them!

Everything is no longer the same as a few months ago, when everyone didn't know each other, had no contact or understanding, and had their own indifferent demons who didn't exist.

It was as if bright lightning flashed across the dark sky. At this moment, Chen Yang thought of the past few days. In daily training, his teammates, no matter when and where, were always beaming and smiling; thinking of

I remember the cheers and shouts calling Chen Yang’s name that floated in the sky of the stadium every time Chen Yang scored a goal; I remembered that every time I stepped into the game or off the field, everyone I met would speak enthusiastically.

Call his name accurately and greet him.

He thought of her, the girl Estella he met here, and thought of that girl who would always cheer for him at the team's games since they met.

Chen Yang raised his head, and when he looked over, he saw people. The sea of people was like waves, and what he heard was the waves of applause echoed by those around him, echoed by the entire stadium.

Chen Yang couldn't find her figure, but he knew that Estella was here today, right above the stands.

For some reason, Chen Yang remembered that when he came to this small city that was unfamiliar to him and was about to start his first step in his career, he looked down at the foreign country from a high place late at night.

The night scene in a foreign country is so worrying about gains and losses, but also filled with infinite longing.

"What are you thinking about? Chen Yang? You can take the penalty kick now." The old captain looked at Chen Yang who was thinking about something and reminded him loudly.

"No, there's nothing wrong with me, I'm just too happy." Chen Yang chuckled.

Then, holding the ball, Chen Yang walked towards the penalty spot.

Now, Chen Yang can feel that the ball is in his hands, as if it is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Not only because of the penalty kick, whether it is scored or not will affect the situation of this game.

What's more, what comes with it is trust, support, and... countless unexpected things!

Holding the ball, Chen Yang walked to the penalty spot.

Set the ball up.

Take two steps back.

Then, wait for the whistle to blow.

It's that simple, Chen Yang's penalty kick preparations have been completed.

It was not as grinding as when Bo Yang played in the first half.

"If this penalty kick is scored by Chen Yang, the score will now be 4:4. Tarragona will have the lead in the knockout round because of the away goal scored by Chen Yang in the first round."

"Chen Yang! His penalty kick is quite crucial to this game!"

He Yang's commentary stopped as Chen Yang stood behind the penalty kick and prepared to take the penalty.

At the scene and in the stands, many fans stood up spontaneously. Most of them were already holding their breath, waiting for the whistle to sound!

Beep!

Finally, a whistle sounded.

Chen Yang didn't hesitate, he took a two-step approach and quickly arrived.

His eyes were quietly looking at Barcelona goalkeeper Pinto on the goal line.

Lift your left foot, then drop it quickly to shoot.

Hit the ball!

The moment the ball was kicked, Chen Yang could already see it. At the same time, Pintuo made the move to save from the left side.

It's just that Chen Yang doesn't play on the left.

Because Chen Yang shot the ball, the black and white football was hung up.
