Prominence in Football Community

This game was not like an ordinary World Cup qualifier in any way.

Perhaps because of realizing this, after the start of the game, the players of the Chinese team were a little nervous and did not perform very well.

Especially amidst the crazy boos of the Eastern fans, they made mistakes again and again.

And every time they made a mistake, they would attract gloating laughter and even bigger boos from the Eastern fans in the stands, so they became even more nervous.

This seems to be a vicious cycle.

Coupled with Dongfang's overall shrinking defense and putting the bus on the bus, the Chinese team failed to score a goal in the first 20 minutes. On the contrary, the Dongfang team's quick counterattack threatened the goal guarded by Wang Xiaolei twice.

This made the Eastern fans in the stands even more excited.

Among the cheering Eastern fans, some just hope to avenge the game eleven years ago through this game, and some have ulterior motives. They hope to transform the success of football For their success in their own ideas, they mocked China by mocking Chinese football.

At this time, the fans of the Chinese team in front of the TV and at the scene are also very anxious and angry. After all, Chinese football does represent China. If the Chinese team does not live up to expectations, it will not only drag down the image of Chinese football, but also drag down the image of China.

There were fans of the Chinese team in the stands who wanted to fight back, but they could only swear, but under the cheers and shouts of the Eastern fans, it seemed so insignificant.

The commentator He Ping actually knew very well what happened in Dongfang's stadium, but he couldn't say it, he couldn't mention a word, he could only talk about football itself.

"...Ye Honghui played really well today. In the first 20 minutes, he has blocked Gao Zheng's shots twice. However, in front of the Eastern team's performance, the boys of the Chinese team were a little impatient and lost their patience. This is not A good sign..."

He didn't say anything more.

The last time the Chinese team played against Dongfang at home, they won a thrilling victory. It was not until the end of the game that they broke through the goal guarded by Ye Honghui with Gao Zheng's goal and won the game 1:0.

※※※

Ye Honghui's performance today was really good. He even had a premonition that he would definitely be able to keep a clean sheet today.

There is no reason, and I don't know why, just a very strong intuition, telling him that he can do it.

But when Gao Zheng suddenly turned around in the penalty area and kicked the goal in the 23rd minute, his movement was half a beat slow, and he failed to touch the football!

Just when his heart was half cold, he heard a crisp sound...

"Beam!! Oops!!" He Ping shouted while covering his head. "The beam blocked Gao Zheng's inevitable shot!"

Ye Honghui looked back and saw the football hit the crossbar and bounced back, followed closely by Ji Shili, a player from the Dongfang team, kicking the football far away.

The Eastern team escaped.

Five minutes later, the Chinese team's shot was rejected by the post again. At that time, Wu Lei kicked the ball from the left and made a pass, but the football did not pass to Gao Zheng in the middle, but was cleared by the Eastern defender. The ejected football fell outside and was caught by Huang Bowen. After adjusting it, he took a long shot.

As a result, the football hit the post on the right side of the goal and bounced back!

"The second post!" He Ping started counting the hits for the Chinese team.

Because he had a bad idea.

The Chinese team played against the East at home in the last game, and only won one goal in the end. The reason why it was so difficult to win has a lot to do with the Chinese team hitting the goal frame four times in that game.

And this game is really hell, less than 30 minutes into the first half, there are two goalposts, is this a coincidence?

He Ping even wondered if this world was controlled by some invisible hand...

When the Chinese team shot a goal that could have been scored by the invisible hand, with a light flick, the football could hit the goal frame head-on.

※※※

Seeing the Chinese team hit the goal frame with two shots in a short period of time, the Ultra Oriental fans in the stands were very happy: "God bless us, God is on our side!"

They cheered heartily and laughed at the bad luck of the Chinese team.

And the "bad luck" of the Chinese team is still going on.

In the 32nd minute, the Chinese team won a corner kick. After the corner kick was taken, Zhang Linpeng leaped high and headed the ball, and the football hit the hands of Eastern player Chen Zhaolin!

"Huh? Handball? It's a handball!" He Ping wasn't quite sure at first, but he soon discovered that the football was indeed hit by the opponent's player.

Penalty!

When Chen Zhaolin was defending, he raised his hand high, as if to signal something, and the football hit his raised arm!

Gao Zheng was by the side at the time and saw the scene clearly. He immediately raised his arm and signaled to the referee for the opponent's handball.

Other Chinese players also raised their hands.

When everyone thought that the referee was going to award the Eastern team handball and give the Chinese team a penalty kick, the Bahraini referee Nawaf Shuklala, who was enforcing the game, turned a blind eye and had no intention of awarding a penalty kick!

"No... how could this not be a penalty kick?" He Ping's commentator partner Xu Yang was stunned. "What an obvious penalty!"

"Let's see the replay..."

But the live broadcast of the game did not replay this shot.

Because the game has not been interrupted, the Eastern team took advantage of the distraction of the Chinese team to protest and launched a quick counterattack. It has been killed to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area, and finally the Eastern team striker McGee headed the goal.

This time the football hit the crossbar too!

It was only at this time that the TV broadcast was free to replay the scene that just happened in the penalty area of ​​the Eastern team. The slow motion was clearly seen, and there was no need to replay it from multiple angles. It could be seen from any angle. Zhang Linpeng’s header was It hit Chen Zhaolin's hand.

"Is there any problem with this penalty? Why didn't the referee award it? Did he not see it? The ball is not covered by anything, so it's clear at a glance!" Xu Yang yelled dissatisfied.

He Ping was also very upset, but he still wanted to remind the Chinese team: "Don't be affected by this penalty. It was really dangerous just now. The opponent almost took advantage of our distraction and scored a goal..."

But in fact, he knew very well in his heart that being distracted in that situation was really normal. If it were anyone who saw the most obvious penalty kick being ignored, he would be so angry that he would lose his mind...

He originally thought that the Chinese team's 13:0 victory over Bhutan at home would take it easy this time. One cannot stumble over the same rock twice, right? It was so difficult for us to win the home game against the East, and we have learned a lesson. The performance of the Chinese team in this second encounter will definitely be better.

Unexpectedly, the situation developed in another direction.

This is not a question of whether the Chinese team performed well or not. It is that God does not seem to want the Chinese team to win!

※※※

He Ping now wonders if he is a crow's mouth. Although he didn't say it out loud, he said it in his heart.

He said God didn't want the Chinese team to win the game.

Because at the end of the first half, the Chinese team launched a fierce offensive, threatening the goal of the Eastern team again.

In the forty-fourth minute, Wu Lei forced a breakthrough from the right and then made a cross. The football was hit in front of the goal. Wu Lei jumped high and ferried the football back.

The football still hit the post this time, but it hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal!

Although Ye Honghui, the goalkeeper of the Eastern team, fished out the football, the football still passed the line as a whole.

Gao Zheng and his teammates were about to celebrate the goal, but they had just ran two steps away, but they didn't hear the referee whistle.

Instead, the Eastern team kicked the football to the front with a big foot. Fortunately, there were no people in front of them, otherwise it would be another threatening counterattack. I don’t know if the goalposts of the Eastern team will help the Chinese team defend this time. up...

In the end, the football flew out of the sideline, and the linesman gave a semaphore for the Chinese team to throw the ball in the backcourt. The referee Shuklala also made the same gesture.

The players of the Chinese team quit, and they surrounded Shuklala one after another and complained to him.

Even Gao Zheng, who is rarely excited, rushed in front of the referee, and kept telling him in English that the ball passed the line as a whole.

It's just that no matter how excited they were, the referee Shuklala's face was expressionless, like a statue, and he did not change his judgment.

The TV broadcast also gave a replay of Gao Zheng's shot just now. From the close-up shots, it can indeed be seen that the football passed the line as a whole, and it passed quite a lot, not just by one or two centimeters.

Ye Honghui fished out the ball completely after the football entered the goal.

Seeing this scene, neither He Ping nor Xu Yang knew what to say.

What else is there to say?

The referee denied it, and Ye Honghui kept telling the referee that he was not catching the ball from the goal line. It was useless for the two commentators to dry up their saliva in the studio in Beijing. They could not change the referee's penalty, nor could they Help the Chinese team score.

He Ping even thought about whether this was a black whistle that had been paid for, but he had no proof, and such things cannot be said indiscriminately.

There are always various misjudgments in football. What can you do in the face of misjudgments?

Think about the England team in the 2010 World Cup, isn't it even worse? Lampard's long-range shot clearly went into the goal, but the football bounced out by itself, and the referee thought the ball missed, which eventually led to England's disastrous defeat.

I can only sigh, the first half is about to end, and this is the end of the first half, I hope the luck of the Chinese team will improve in the second half...

PS, due to some well-known reasons, the opponents of the national football team have changed their names. It is enough for everyone to know it clearly, and do not discuss it.
