Chapter 1182: What a Penalty
Neymar showed his skillful foot skills, and the Chinese players had some concerns about the defense in this area, and after the Brazilian king plucked the ball twice in a row, he deducted Tang Ling, and he only needed to take one step further to step into the Chinese team's penalty area.
"The Chinese team's chain method was successfully broken through by the Brazilian team this time, and the defense that had been very successful in the first half hour was finally penetrated by the Brazilian players relying on their individual skills and cooperation! Now Neymar is in a very dangerous place, and the Chinese team needs to fill in in time. ”
There is no 100% perfect defensive tactics in this world, and when a team of equal strength plays against each other, no matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to guarantee that the opponent will not be hit by the opponent once. Now that Brazil has burst to the edge of the penalty area, all the Chinese have to think about is how to stop Neymar.
Yan Tao came over to fill the position. And Xu Ziyi, Chen Zihua, Li Mu, Xu Zhixin and other players all retreated, and Zhang Shujie also retreated a lot, so that he could meet his teammates at any time in the counterattack. Neymar saw Yan Tao in front of him, he hadn't rushed to the Chinese team's penalty area at this time, but he didn't plan to enter the penalty area either, he knocked the ball into the penalty area and knocked it to Marcelo, who was inserted behind.
Marcelo controls the ball, although his position is in the area of the baseline, but it is not safe here at all, he can pass the ball to the goal at any time, and even, if he is more daring, he can also surprise Ma Junqiang into a near corner. It's not unheard of in world football, and goalkeepers often don't expect it.
Ma Junqiang moved outside a little so that he could intercept the ball as much as possible when Marcelo passed to the goal. Tang Ling had already stuck to Marcelo's side at this time, and he saw that Marcelo seemed to want to pass the ball with his feet, so he raised his leg to block it.
However, Marcelo did not pass the ball, he saw Tang Ling raise his leg, so he gently took the ball, and then accelerated and rushed over, the ball passed under Tang Ling's feet, but Marcelo was blocked by Tang Ling's raised leg and fell in the penalty area.
"Beep!" the referee's whistle sounded, he stretched out his hand to the penalty spot, and walked in front of Tang Ling, feeling a yellow card.
The Chinese fans in the stadium were stunned. Is it a penalty? Yes, it's a penalty!
He Wei seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said: "Tang Ling kicked down Marcelo in the penalty area, was fouled by the referee, and the Brazilian team got a penalty......! Tang Ling: I feel that I should have fallen for Marcelo this time. ”
Xu Yang groaned and said, "From our point of view, Marcelo doesn't look like a fake fall, Tang Ling does have movements under his feet, but Tang Ling is not going to people." ”
On the court, Tang Ling was anxiously stepping forward to explain: "Sir, I didn't kick him on purpose, you should be able to see that I went to destroy the ball at his feet, and he walked away." It was he who hooked my leg as he sprinted, not me kicking him. ”
Ma Junqiang also came up, and he said to the referee: "This is not an intentional foul, now football games have a certain protection for defensive players, Tang Ling obviously did not intentionally go at people." ”
Zhang Shujie also walked to the referee's side and said, "Sir, sir, please take back the penalty." You should have seen it very clearly just now, Tang Ling's ball was definitely not aimed at people, it was Marcelo who hit Tang Ling's leg when he rushed forward, Tang Ling was 'passive', this is not strictly a penalty. ”
In fact, even Zhang Shujie himself knew that the explanations of several of them were a little weak. How many people would actually foul in the box? But if the referee doesn't blow it? That must be impossible, the forbidden area is a place of right and wrong, and it must be blown when it should be blown. It's just that usually this kind of thing, many players will "besiege" the referee and help their teammates say good things, although everyone knows that the possibility of the referee changing the decision is very small.
The Chinese players gathered more and more, gossiping around the referee, and the Brazilian players also gathered around, and captain Thiago Silva said: "This is a penalty! Definitely a penalty! If you kick someone in the box, don't you give a penalty?"
Alves came over and tried to separate the referee from the Chinese players: "Don't fight, there is no doubt about this penalty at all!"
The replay footage of the picture began to be played in front of the TV, and Marcelo saw Tang Ling's movement of lifting his feet very clearly during the assault, otherwise he would not have taken the risk of taking that step, he was coming for the penalty.
Xu Yang said: "This Marcelo is indeed too shrewd, he just forced Tang Ling to foul and get such a penalty for the Brazilian team." ”
He Wei sighed and said, "That's true. But we can't blame Marcelo either, it's normal for attacking and defensive players to play wits and courage in football. Tang Ling also estimated that Marcelo should pass the ball and wanted to raise his foot to block the ball from the bottom line, but Marcelo went to the ball. This is to take advantage of the rules of the game and 'want' such a penalty. There is no problem with the referee's decision, and it can only be said that Tang Ling is unlucky. ”
The picture returned to the court, the players of the two teams had dispersed, and then the camera showed Tite, who was very happy, although he couldn't see any expression on his face, but in those eyes, but with a slight smile. Then the broadcast camera was aimed at An Rong again, An Rong had no choice, the referee wanted to award a penalty, what could he do? Besides, Tang Ling was indeed a foul.
The penalty was taken by Neymar, and the Brazilian fans were celebrating in advance, seemingly assuming that Neymar would score his sixth goal of the tournament. Some Chinese fans are afraid to watch anymore, including Wang Shihan.
Neymar stood on the penalty spot, he bent down to set the ball up, put it on several occasions, and after making sure the ball would not move, he slowly pushed it back and retreated outside the box. Ma Junqiang stood in front of goal, standing up straight, and instead of waving his arms like other goalkeepers, he hung his arms at his sides as he did in the penalty shoot-out with Germany.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little depressing, and He Wei said softly: "Let's take a look at Neymar's penalty and see if Ma Junqiang can save it." ”
He is not talking about whether Neymar can score a penalty, but whether Ma Junqiang can make a save. Consciously or unconsciously, the Chinese commentator was a little biased in favor of the Chinese team at this moment, which is understandable, and in such a situation, I am afraid that no one wants Neymar to score this penalty, including his fans.
Chen Hui and Shen Hao looked at Neymar, who was about to make a free throw, and they didn't dare to come out. The referee blew the whistle and Neymar started to run, and halfway through the run, he had a brief pause to confuse Ma Junqiang, but Ma Junqiang was not fooled. Soon Neymar ran in front of the ball, picked up his right leg and pushed it into the bottom right corner of the goal.
