There is a dream called football

Chapter 262 Victory in Controversy

Krauchen was already wondering whether to prepare for a penalty shootout, because it seemed that the game was already infinitely close to a penalty shootout.

Players on both sides couldn't run any better, and Nigeria's lively first half also disappeared, replaced by ball control and passing.

The schedule of the World Youth Championship is very intensive, so it is completely understandable that the players will be tired.

Krauchen is already discussing the penalty shootout roster with the Chinese coaching staff.

"Li Qiao should be the first."

"No, no, I think Li Qiao should be the last one."

"Then Chen Tao will be the first."

"I think it's okay."

The Nigerian head coach has also been watching the clock, and he is also thinking about the candidates for the penalty shootout.

First of all, Mikel is probably the first, and then Keita. He is planning to take out all the capable players and use them first, and then we will see.

At this moment, the most controversial scene of the whole game appeared, and this scene would cause an uproar after the game, that is, the Chinese team got a penalty kick opportunity.

The reason was that the Chinese team's free kick hit the Nigerian player's arm, and the referee called a penalty kick. However, looking at the slow motion, it was not obvious that the arm was open.

The most important thing about whether a handball is a penalty kick is whether it was intentional. This is the referee's own judgment, which can be said to be a matter of opinion.

This time, the referee felt that the Nigerian player's handball was deliberately blocked, so he ruled the handball. The Nigerian players felt that they were wronged, and the head coach became even more furious.

"This is total theft."

"This is the semifinals, you can't steal our victory."

Krauchen said nothing, he was a little nervous.

The person who stood up and took the penalty kick was of course Li Qiao.

I have to say that taking penalty kicks for the national team is a more difficult challenge, because you can still make up for it in the league, but it is impossible for the national team, the victory is determined in one go.

Li Qiao steadily placed the ball on the penalty spot, but all the players on the Chinese team's bench had already stood up.

One goal is heaven and one goal is hell. This has happened many times in the history of the Chinese team, and it happened again at this time.

Li Qiao started his run-up. He didn't look at the opponent's goalkeeper. When he finally swung his leg to shoot, the opponent's goalkeeper mistakenly thought that Li Qiao might be shooting with great force. But at the last moment, Li Qiao's ankle suddenly changed.

Instead of volleying hard, he pushed lightly and hit the middle.

This ball is so clever, it can move a thousand pounds.

The Chinese team players rushed to the corner flag to celebrate with Li Qiao. This goal may have sealed the victory.

In the last few minutes, Nigeria was unable to recover. The Chinese team defeated Nigeria and reached the final.

After the game, the angry Nigerian coach refused Krauchen's handshake. He left the field angrily and did not attend the post-match press conference. Instead, an official from the Nigeria Football Association attended the post-match press conference in his place.

"That was obviously not a penalty kick. The Chinese team stole our victory. It is shameful that such a thing happened in the World Youth Championship. I think FIFA needs to reflect on it."

These words will definitely be punished by FIFA, but after the game many media also analyzed the penalty kick. Many people felt that it was indeed not a penalty kick, and the referee was indeed hasty in blowing such a penalty kick in the semifinals.

of.

"I think maybe a penalty kick would be a fairer option for both sides."

"There is no penalty kick. He didn't mean to open his arms, but he didn't feel like avoiding it."

"The referees at the World Youth Championship should also improve their standards."

This is the comment of many media, but some media also said that the Chinese team is the better performing team. Judging from the results, the Chinese team is fully worthy of promotion.

"The Chinese team defeated the previous five opponents. This cannot be explained by luck. I believe that the Chinese team is not worthy of playing in the finals."

Some media also said that China is Li Qiao's team. As long as Li Qiao is injured, the Chinese team will immediately collapse.

"The Chinese team is like carrying on Li Qiao's shoulders. Liverpool's midfielder is too tired. I am not optimistic about the Chinese team's prospects in the final."

The British media even said unceremoniously that China was gambling on Liverpool's midfield.

"Li Qiao's injury is caused by fatigue. The Chinese team is indeed gambling on Liverpool's midfielder."

In response to the external disturbances, FIFA imposed a fine of US$20,000 on the Nigerian Football Association and a 2-game ban on the head coach. In addition, the referee of this game was banned from officiating FIFA games for one year.

This can be regarded as a little comfort to Nigeria. As for their proposed replay of the game, this is impossible.

The Chinese team has entered the finals, and the domestic media are crazy with joy. This is the first time in the history of the Chinese team. Apart from the Asian Cup, the Chinese team has reached the finals of a major competition for the first time, and may win the championship.

Of course, the women's football team has done it before, that is, in the 1999 World Cup in the United States, the Chinese team reached the finals, and this time the men's football team has done it again at the youth level.

Many people said they wanted to watch the game live, and many media also regretted it. Originally, they had no plan to report on the World Youth Championship. Only Sohu and Sina reported on the online media. It was still second-hand news, just watching CCTV or foreign media.

Report it and reprocess it yourself.

But starting from this time, they also sent their own reporters to the Netherlands, probably witnessing the history of the Chinese team.

Faced with the sudden glory, the national football players did not get carried away. Krauchen said that the final was the same as the first game.

"Remember, no one will remember who is the runner-up, only people know who is the champion, so the team that gets the runner-up is the same as the team that comes in last."

Of course, this is too exaggerated, but the truth is this. The runner-up may be the most uncomfortable because it is only one step away.

For example, which one feels more uncomfortable, one point short of getting into Tsinghua University or one hundred points short of getting into Tsinghua University?

It goes without saying!

Li Qiao suggested that Krauchen introduce happy football into training, which means using some weird training methods.

So what the media often photograph these days is scenes of players laughing, and I don’t know why they are laughing. Could it be that they are very happy to have reached the final? Too proud?

But no one knew that the players' laughter was due to the introduction of happy football in training. The Chinese team's opponent in the final was Argentina. For other teammates, this may not matter, nor does the powerful Argentina.

But for Li Qiao, this is very important, because he knows that the future superstar Messi is in the Argentine team at this time.

In his previous life, Messi's national team career started at the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands. Li Qiao really wanted to touch Messi.
