Liang Xiran put away his right foot, which was about to pass.

He saw the referee walk into the Chinese team's penalty area and stretched out his hand to point to the penalty spot. Not only that, but also gave Liang Xiran a yellow card.

He was stunned.

So the referee thinks that Liang Xiran has fouled Cahill just now? Liang Xiran felt very wronged, walked up to the referee, and protested loudly: "I didn't kick him down at all, I kicked the ball first." ”

Ma Junqiang and Yan Tao and other teammates also came up to complain, and even Zhang Shujie and Li Mu came back from the frontcourt.

Zhang Shujie said: "Sir, this ball should not be a foul. ”

Ma Junqiang said: "That Cahill obviously fell by himself, and our teammates did not violate him. ”

The referee took two steps back, stretched out his finger and shook it, with no intention of changing the decision. Australian players also surrounded the referee, and they stood between the Chinese players and the referee to protect the referee.

Cahill was the most aggressive, saying: "Don't fight, he kicked me, my foot still hurts!"

Holman also said: "It's a penalty!

In this kind of game related to the right to qualify for the World Cup, no one on both sides let anyone, and the referee was provoked and directly gave Yan Tao and Ma Junqiang a yellow card.

The Australian fans in the stands were overjoyed. What does that penalty mean? It's like a gift package delivered to your door.

Liu Jianhong lowered his voice a little and said: "The referee thought that Liang Xiran fouled Cahill and gave Australia a penalty. ”

Speaking of which, it just so happens that the TV screen is playing back the slow motion just now. Liang Xiran and Cahill did have a mutual run in the penalty area, but at the moment when Liang Xiran sent the ball, he first hooked the ball to his feet, and then Cahill touched Liang Xiran's right heel with his left foot during the sprint, so that his body lost his balance and fell to the ground.

From beginning to end, Liang Xiran did not make any foul moves. It was Cahill who caused the fall after he hit Liang Xiran.

I have to say that the No. 5 of the Chinese team is a little wronged.

Liu Jianhong said loudly: "This penalty is worth discussing! Liang Xiran did not take the initiative to infringe on Cahill, and there were some problems with the referee's decision. ”

Zhang Lu also said with some embarrassment: "I don't know if this is a home advantage, or the referee was blocked from seeing clearly." ”

Whatever the reason, it was a fact that Australia were awarded a penalty and Gary Cahill was already in front of it.

Ma Junqiang stood on the goal line, his eyes fixed on Cahill, trying to create an invisible pressure on him. However, tens of thousands of home fans at the scene dedicated all their cheers to Cahill to encourage him.

An Rong watched Ma Junqiang from the sidelines, and Song Weifeng asked him his opinion on the penalty given by the referee just now. His answer was: "I'm just the manager, not the referee, whether it's a penalty or not, I don't count." ”

The referee's whistle blew, Cahill ran and pushed the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal, Ma Jun made a strong save in the right direction, but Cahill's shot angle was too awkward, even if Ma Dashuai judged correctly, he still failed to save the penalty after all.

Australia leads China 1-0 at home.

Gary Cahill began to celebrate, and the Australian fans rose to celebrate as if they had won the game and received tickets to the World Cup.

Liang Xiran crossed his waist and stood in the forbidden area, looking up at the sky slightly, feeling extremely depressed. Ma Junqiang stepped forward and patted him: "It's okay, don't take it to heart, it's only been thirteen minutes, and it's still early." ”

Yan Tao was also comforting him: "That's not your fault, it's the referee who is blind." ”

Liang Xiran didn't speak, just looked at the Australian players who were celebrating the goal, especially Cahill.

"Australia took a 1-0 lead at home thanks to a penalty kick from Gary Cahill. Fortunately, it is still early, and the Chinese team still has many opportunities. ”

Zhang Lu took Liu Jianhong's words: "There is no need to discuss this misjudgment, the Chinese team should adjust its mentality and play the rest of the game well." ”

In the press seat, Chen Hui smiled bitterly: "Although I thought that the Chinese team might concede goals, I didn't expect it to be in this way." ”

Shen Hao waved his fist and scolded: "Damn, dog referee." ”

Zheng Dawei, who was sitting next to him, pulled him: "Be careful, you are also a professional journalist, don't show your emotions too obviously, just be clear in your heart." ”

The Chinese team restarted in the center circle and the game continued.

To say that relying on this kind of "penalty kick that shouldn't exist" to lose points, the players have no impact and I am afraid that they don't even believe it, and the boos on the scene are loud, which is even more uncomfortable. But as long as the Chinese team can score a goal, then everything will become clear. So the top priority now is to pull the two teams to the same starting line as soon as possible.

This arduous task fell on the shoulders of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu.

Usually the other side will shrink the formation a little bit, forcing the backward side to attack, because the team behind the score is eager to score, so when the opponent shrinks the formation, it is also followed by a large pressure, for a long time, if there is no goal, then the hole left in the backfield is very easy to be penetrated by the opponent. However, in this game, Australia did not compress the formation after taking the lead, but attacked more and more.

Perhaps it is because the shouts and cheers of the home fans have given them enough confidence and courage to beat the Chinese team on their own turf and let them return to their own country in embarrassment.

However, they seem to have forgotten that the Chinese team has two super strikers who have just beaten Messi Ronaldo and won the Champions League championship and runner-up.

Chen Zihua cut off Jedinak's pass in the backfield, but was accidentally snatched back by Cruise in the middle of dribbling, and Xu Ziyi and Zhao Wenkang teamed up to snatch the ball back again. Zhao Wenkang went to the left side to divide the ball, Huang Yu quickly inserted it from the left, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu in the front court made a cross switch while running, Li Mu went to the right, and Zhang Shujie went to the left. In the middle, Liu Jianwei is attracting firepower.

Valery, who was returning to the defense, was thrown away by Huang Yu with speed, and such a simple and violent way was extremely useful in fast attack. Nell stepped forward to intercept, Huang Yu passed diagonally to Chen Zihua in the middle, Chen Zihua dribbled horizontally to avoid Jedinak, and used his excellent ball control skills to protect the ball, and took Jedinac to the right side of the middle.

Tang Ling and Yan Tao ran up and answered on the right side, Liang Xiran rushed through the middle line, not far behind Chen Zihua, there was Xu Ziyi on the left, and Zhang Shujie and Li Mu and Liu Jianwei in front, the Chinese team was an absolute all-out attack this time.

Tang Ling started to run, Chen Zihua glanced at him, got up, and passed the ball. The Australian players subconsciously moved the defensive focus to the right side - that is, the left side of their own half, but they didn't expect that Chen Zihua was completely striking, he did not give the ball to Tang Ling, but to Huang Yu on the left.

At this moment, Huang Yu was unguarded.
