Now that the game is over, China and Colombia are tied 1-1, and the players who scored for both teams are James Rodriguez and Chen Zihua. However, we still have to explain that if it weren't for the bad luck of the Chinese team and some factors of the referee, the Chinese team could actually win this game. But it doesn't matter, the Chinese team has four points in two games, one win and one draw, no matter what the result of the next match between Poland and Senegal is, as long as China does not lose in the third round of the group stage, it will be ironclad to qualify. ”

The managers of the two teams shook hands symbolically, and the players of the two teams also shook hands with each other on the field, and then the players walked to the dressing room, Zhang Shujie gave a brief interview, and another player, Chen Zihua, got a point for China today and became the most talked-about player, he said in an interview: "It's nice to earn points for China, but I think we should have won the game, it's not that we didn't perform well, it's just that we were unlucky." ”

Ronaldo also spoke to the media, saying: "It's a shame that we couldn't win the game, which makes us very disadvantaged in the rest of the fixtures, but the group stage is not over yet, we are not completely hopeless. At least until the qualifying spots are confirmed, everything is unknown. ”

In the locker room of the Chinese team, the players wiped their sweat and rested for a while, An Rong roughly summarized the game, and then took a shower and went to the post-game press conference. Colombia coach Pekerman was the first to walk into the hall, and in front of the reporters from all over the world, he said: "I know that many of you in the audience are not optimistic about us, even if the Colombian journalists probably think that our chances of qualifying are very small. It's true that I only got one point left in the final round of the group stage, so the situation is not optimistic. But Group H is not sure which teams will go to the round of 16, Poland or China? Also, I know what you want to ask, the Chinese team is very strong, we drew against them, I think my players are doing very well, of course, the Chinese team is not very lucky, that's all. ”

Pekerman said the words in one breath, got up and left the press conference hall and walked back to the team locker room, leaving the reporters to look at each other. Shen Hao sneered and said to Chen Hui: "He said that his team may still go to the knockout round, but judging from his attitude, he also knows that this possibility is very small." ”

Chen Hui smiled: "I don't care if Colombia goes or not, I only care about the Chinese team." ”

An Rong walked out, judging from his face, the mentality should still be very normal, he said: "We played a tough game in this game, I don't want to say that we were unlucky, we didn't get three points is a small regret, but overall, I think my players are normal." We deserve that point, and we deserve the three points that we deserve but don't. ”

Shen Hao suddenly asked: "May I ask An Zhi, the referee has two controversial penalties in this game, if one of these two is in favor of the Chinese team, then the Chinese team has already qualified in advance." ”

An Rong nodded: "Yes, a suspected offside goal by Zhang Shujie and a penalty created by Zhang Shujie." I don't know why the referee didn't watch the replay, but it doesn't matter now because it's over. The only thing we have to do now is to prepare for the third game against Poland. ”

An Rong can downplay the referee's misjudgment, but Chinese fans and Chinese journalists don't see it that way. Many fans cursed the referee on forums and post bars as a "big pen", "stinky shit" and so on. Chen Hui wrote in the report under the title "The Stolen Two Points": "Obviously, due to the referee's misjudgment, the Chinese team's three points became one point. In fact, in the fast-changing game, it is normal for the referee to have some deviations in the decision, which is why the 'video referee' came into being, but why did the video referee not speak up in these two controversial decisions? Is it their negligence or the referee's refusal? I think this needs to be investigated. If this kind of thing happened to the Chinese team today, will it happen to other teams tomorrow? ”

Not only the domestic media, but also the foreign media are also concerned about this. "Milan Sports Newspaper" said: "We thought that the appearance of the video referee made the football game goodbye to misjudgment, but in fact it is not, look at the match between the Chinese team and Colombia, two misjudgments made China lose the three points that could have been obtained, and also made the Chinese team lose the opportunity to enter the knockout round in advance." ”

In the face of doubts, the video referee team of this game spoke: "There are indeed some problems with the two decisions in this game, and at that time we had told the referee through the headset if we needed to watch the VAR video, but he refused, maybe he thought there was no problem with his decision." We all know that the referee has the final say in the game and if he doesn't want to watch the video, then we can't force him. ”

The video referee team threw this pot to the referee, and the referee also seemed to feel wronged in the face of overwhelming criticism, he said: "During the game, I confirmed that there was no problem with the penalty, but it was only then. The reason why I have the right to refuse VAR videos is because FIFA has given me the right to do so. If we really want to ensure that there are 100% no loopholes, then I think we should watch the VAR video before every dispute, as soon as our referee is notified by the video referee team, and there is no right to refuse. ”

The referee also threw the blame, this time directly to FIFA, but FIFA did not give any explanation for the matter, and remained silent from beginning to end. The Chinese Football Association also expressed dissatisfaction with FIFA's pretending to be deaf and dumb, Guo Fan bluntly said: "FIFA has always liked to make its own speeches before the big right and wrong, why is there no sound at all now?"

In any case, such an outcome has already been made, and I only hope that FIFA can study more on the issue of penalties in the future, so that there are fewer and fewer misjudgments on the field.

A few hours later, before the "post-match grudge" between the Chinese team and Colombia was completely eliminated, the match between Poland and Senegal began, and after Senegal's 0:5 defeat to the Chinese team in the first round, everyone regarded this African team as the weakest team in the group, thinking that they could pack their baggage in advance after playing two rounds of the group stage. In this game, they stubbornly drew with Lewandowski's Poland, and the two sides fought hard for 90 minutes, and finally ended up with a 0:0 draw.
