d (Welcome to the Midfield Master Book Friends Exchange Group: 532028645)

The players of the Chinese team complained to Fu Bo as they walked back to the locker room.

Fu Bo also had no way to explain, because the referee's scale was too loose, he could only appease the emotions of his own players, so as not to lose control in the second half of the game.

In the player tunnel, Lippi stood quietly at the corner, and the origin of the Chinese team and the Australian team walked by him, and he turned a blind eye. He was here, just waiting for someone.

Four men in black clothes came over, they were the four referees for this match.

Lippi saw them and immediately walked over to the referee.

"Marcello, you can't talk to the referee." The fourth official noticed that Lippi was coming, and hurried over to stop him, preventing him from contacting the referee.

Because according to the rules, before the end of the game, the head coaches of both sides are not allowed to contact the referee team in private.

"This is the player tunnel, I just want to say a few words!" Lippi said with a cold face, avoiding the obstruction of the fourth official, and walked in front of the referee.

The tall referee had stopped at this moment and looked at Lippi suspiciously.

"Let me tell you, you can't condone fouls by Australian players, you have to be more fair!" Lippi stared at the referee and said coldly: "If you continue like this, you will lose your job because of this game , and your reputation!"

After speaking, Lippi walked away, leaving only the four referees stunned.

They also had enforced the Guangzhou Evergrande AFC Champions League game led by Lippi before. At that time, he was not so angry, but today he was completely changed, which surprised them.

"Dear viewers, welcome to continue to watch the quarter-finals of the 2015 Asian Cup. The match between the Chinese team and the Australian team was 0-0 in the first half. The second half is about to begin. The Chinese team played at halftime Substitution, replace Ai Huang, who has been severely restrained and underperformed, with Gao Lin."

Duan Xuan's voice came out on the TV, and the camera showed Gao Lin who was replacing him in the second half and was running into the field.

"In the first half, Gao Bo was the only player in the frontcourt of the Chinese team who could carry the opponent's defender with his back and take the ball, but he was also marked by the opponent's two central defenders, which made it difficult for the Chinese team to advance in the frontcourt. Pi replaced Gao Lin at the beginning of the second half, obviously wanting to add an offensive fulcrum in the frontcourt,

Let our players be able to hold the ball in the opponent's half and make some attacks. "

"Okay, the referee blows the whistle to start the second half, let's take a look at the game between the two sides in the second half..."

In the voice of Duan Xuan's commentary, the players of the Chinese team ran actively on the TV screen. In the first half, the Australian team kicked off, while in the second half, the Chinese team kicked off.

Gao Lin passed the ball back to Xia Ze behind him, Xia Ze transferred the ball before the opponent's defender pounced, and then quickly ran to the player who took the ball to respond.

Zhang Linpeng took the ball from the wing, and he gave it to Gao Lin in front. After Gao Lin came on the field, he would not be at a disadvantage in physical confrontation. He leaned on the opponent's defender and knocked the ball back to Xia Ze who responded in the middle.

Xia Ze even stopped and wiped the opponent's back that was blocked in front of him. He was about to break through to the opponent's 30 yard area, but the opponent's back stretched out his right foot, tripping Xia Ze to the ground .

Beep!

The referee blew his whistle and called a foul.

Australia's midfielder shrugged and ran back indifferently.

Beep! !

A burst of hasty whistles sounded continuously, the midfielder turned his head and looked at the referee blankly.

The referee took a yellow card from his jacket pocket and held it up in front of the Australian midfielder, causing a little surprise on the opponent's face.

"It's time to give him a yellow card!" Duan Xuan said dissatisfiedly after the referee took out the yellow card.

The players of the Chinese team were repeatedly violated in the first half, and the referee turned a blind eye. Even if the foul was whistled, they would not warn the Australian players, making their actions more and more serious.

This time the referee finally showed a yellow card. Whether it was the Chinese team players or the fans, they all breathed a sigh of relief. At least it proved that the referee's scale may be tightened up in the second half. This is undoubtedly good news for the Chinese team .

Lippi on the sidelines stood on the coach's bench, watching everything that happened on the court with a calm face. This time the referee finally gave the opponent a yellow card, which finally prevented the 66-year-old coach from being furious again.

A few minutes later, Yedinak fouled Gobo, and the referee again showed the yellow card to the Australian player. This time, it was naturally Australia's central defender Yedinak who was warned.

Two consecutive yellow cards in just a few minutes, coupled with several fouls that would not be whistled in the first half, were whistled in the second half, which immediately embarrassed the Australian players.

The referee's penalty scale became tighter, which made them unable to adapt for a while, and the Chinese team took the opportunity to play a wave of offensive climax.

In the 52nd minute of the game, Xia Ze took the ball in the middle circle, and with a change of speed, he left the opponent's midfielder behind.

Because the opponent's midfielder already had a yellow card, he didn't dare to foul Xia Ze, allowing Xia Ze to easily advance to the 30-yard area.

On the edge of the penalty area, Gao Bo leaned on Yedinak and asked Xia Ze for the ball with his back, while Gao Lin on the right side pulled out to draw the opponent's defender away.

Xia Ze stuffed the ball to Gao Bo in front, while he ran to the space in front left.

Gao Bo comprehended and gently returned the ball to the left side of the top of the arc in the penalty area.

A red figure quickly appeared in front of the ball. Because of Wu Lei's pulling from the left, it was too late for the opponent's defender to defend.

Gao Bo made the ball very comfortably, Xia Ze adjusted it in small steps, stepped on the right side of the ball with his right foot, swung his left foot and volleyed!

boom! ! !

Although Xia Ze's left foot is not his preferred foot, this shot is still very powerful, and he ran towards the lower left corner of the goal against the turf!

In front of the goal, the goalkeeper in the green jersey quickly fell to the ground, and with his left hand propped up inexplicably, he lifted the ball that was rushing towards the dead corner!

A wonderful save!

There was an uproar at the Etihad Stadium, followed by thunderous applause, which was naturally sent by Australian fans.

Xia Ze held his head in annoyance, looking at the goalkeeper who made a wonderful save, in addition to the regret of not being able to score in his heart, he also had respect and admiration from the bottom of his heart.

A green jersey, a tall figure, the hairline has gradually moved up, and the hair is also a little gray. His brown eyes revealed determination, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes betrayed his age.

This seemingly "old" goalkeeper still guards the goal for his country and denied Xia Ze's shot. This is his 109th appearance for the national team. He is 42 years old this year.

His name is: Mark Schwarzer. c
