Chapter 127: Twists and Turns

After the equalizer, the players of the Chinese Olympic team even began to plan to overtake the score.

But the surprise came just five minutes after they equalised.

Nigeria went straight up front, Okuye ran diagonally to receive the ball in the penalty area of the Chinese Olympic team, and then he made a quick stop to change direction and go to the middle.

Liu Yan, who followed the defense of him, subconsciously stretched out his foot and wanted to break the ball, but he didn't kick the football - the football had been dialed to the middle by Okuye - but kicked the leg of Okuye, who was cut inside!

Okuye immediately screamed and fell into the penalty area.

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded, and the referee pointed to the penalty spot!

"What? Penalty kick?! He Feng on the commentary bench couldn't believe his eyes, he had also talked with his partner Yan Kang in the game commentary about how to play after the Chinese team equalized, but now he has suffered a blow!

Although Liu Yan raised his hands for the first time and signaled to the referee that he didn't mean it.

But it was too late, he did kick Okuye, and there was physical contact between the two sides, so it can't be said that they faked the fall.

The referee not only awarded Liu Yan a foul, but also showed Liu Yan a yellow card.

Liu Yan held his head in his hands, stood next to him with wide eyes, looking at the yellow card in the referee's hand, a little dazed.

He never thought that the team's good situation would be ruined because of his subconscious kick.

After the slow-motion replay, Yan Kang said in a very painful tone: "It is indeed a kick, and a penalty is awarded...... No problem. ”

"Liu Yan is still young...... He should have anticipated that Okuye would cut in...... But it's useless to talk about this now, we're just an afterthought. In short, the penalty should not be changed. ”

There is really nothing controversial about this decision, so the players of the national Olympic team did not plead around the referee.

Even Shi Wuyun, the head coach of the National Olympic team, did not roar at the fourth official in protest, everyone is playing, although they are very unwilling, but they can only complain that they are careless, and there is no way to complain about the referee's decision.

When Okuye began to lay out the football, Lin Zhiyuan walked up to him and watched him place the football. After he set it up, Lin Zhiyuan did not retreat, but continued to stand in front of the football, as if he wanted to block the opponent's fast hair.

But a penalty is not a free kick, and there is no such thing as a quick penalty.

So he's putting pressure on the opposition in this way, hoping to interfere with Okuye's penalty.

Okuye ignored Lin Zhiyuan and directly turned around to complain to the referee, who came up to put pressure on Lin Zhiyuan.

Seeing the referee coming, Lin Zhiyuan immediately retreated honestly, returned to the goal line, put on a good posture, and prepared to save the penalty.

The televised broadcast gave him a close-up of him visibly adjusting his breathing.

After seeing that everyone was in place, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth. Okuye heard the whistle and started running, and he had another pause in the middle to try to deceive Lin Zhiyuan.

When he shot the football out, Lin Zhiyuan also flew out like an arrow from the string, and the direction was the direction of Okuye's shot!

He was right!

But he didn't touch the ball!

Okuye's shot was as powerful as ever, so although Lin Zhiyuan judged the right direction, the speed of the pounce could not be compared with the speed of the ball.

Before he could pounce, the ball was blasted into the goal!

"Ahh Okuye scores twice! The Chinese team fell behind again six minutes after the equalizer! He Feng shouted regretfully.

"It's just a little bit!" Yan Kang held his head in his hands, feeling sorry for Lin Zhiyuan and the National Olympic team.

"!" Lin Zhiyuan, who fell to the ground, saw the football in the goal, and could only use foul language to express his unhappiness and unwillingness in his heart now.

Zhang Chao, a reporter from the "Goal" network, was in the media seat at the scene, and after seeing Okuye kicking the penalty in, he wrote in the small notebook he carried: "Sixty-five minutes, Nigeria penalty, No. 9 Okuye, 2:1, Nigeria regained the lead." ”

This is what he uses when he writes his post-match report.

Looking down at the sentence he wrote in his notebook, Zhang Chao sighed.

Mr. Chen's goal, which had thrilled the Chinese reporters in the media gallery, was now hearing frustrated discussions and whispers from reporters.

"Liu Yan shouldn't have kicked his feet, he was too reckless...... That ball just needs to be on the Okuye......"

"You can't say that, players don't have that much in their minds when they're playing on the pitch. To put it bluntly, Liu Yan is still inexperienced......"

"He's already a major rotation player in Poseidon, right? In the past few seasons, I have played more than 40 games, so I am still inexperienced. ”

"I mean he lacks experience in this kind of high-level competition......"

"In fact, this shows the gap between our domestic football and world football in terms of level. Liu Yan is already a leader among his peers in China, but he is still a little stretched when facing Okuye, who plays in Ligue 2......"

"I think the performance of the Olympic team is good enough, of course there is a gap, but isn't that normal? Today they were very much more than I expected, and even if they lose this game, I can accept it. ”

……

Listening to these discussions, Zhang Chao turned his eyes to the court and looked at the players of the Chinese Olympic team.

Then he said "huh".

He expected to see a dejected sight, but now he saw the players of the national Olympic team who had already taken action - they did not stand there with their hands on their hips or look up to the sky in frustration, but had already left the penalty area and turned to their respective positions.

Lin Zhiyuan threw the football out of the goal, and Guo Junfu kicked the football in front again and gave it to Hu Lai, who was already standing in the center circle.

When Hulay received the ball, he stomped the ball under his feet and then seemed to be shouting at his teammates.

At this time, Nigeria's goal celebration was not over, most of the players were in the half of the national Olympic team, but the national Olympic team was ready to start the game again.

※※※

"If we can get one, we can get another one, and we can do it with them!"

Hulai stood in the center circle with a soccer ball at his feet and turned around to shout to his teammates.

His heart was passed on to every player on the field of the National Olympic team through the link of [Lingxi Card]. Even if they didn't hear what Hulai was shouting, they could feel a high spirit.

As a result, despite just conceding the goal, almost none of the players of the national Olympic team were depressed and panicked.

When the Nigerian players finished their celebrations and ran back to their own half, the players of the Chinese Olympic team were already waiting for them in their respective positions.

Matt Dawn in the stands muttered to himself with some confusion after seeing this scene: "Strange, I didn't expect Hu to have good leadership?" Why is this not reflected in the data of "The Godfather of Champions" at all? ”

He watched most of the game on the spot, and apart from that assist, Hulai's performance was not spectacular.

However, Matt Daun, who is already very familiar with Hulai in the game, knows very well that this is Hulai's normal performance, and his technical characteristics doom him to not be the protagonist of the game all the time, and many times, he will even deliberately hide himself, and then wait for the opponent to really ignore him, that is when he stabs the opponent in the heart.

So Matt Dawn wasn't disappointed with Hulai's performance in the game, and he was even more looking forward to Hulai's next performance.

Hulai in the game has never let him down, but what about reality?

※※※

When the Nigerian players returned to their own half, the game resumed.

This time, it was Nigeria's turn to score a goal with high morale and want to take advantage of the victory. They still want to get more goal difference.

They obviously scored two goals, but because of the goal of the Chinese team, there was still only one goal difference.

So more goals are needed.

The Chinese Olympic team took advantage of Nigeria's big pressure and played a defensive counterattack.

It seems that the scene is full of dangers, but in fact, the players of the national Olympic team have a belief in their hearts - withstand their attacks, it will be our turn!

I don't know where that belief comes from, but that's what every player thinks.

It's a really amazing feeling, and even though it's the first Olympic game, everyone seems to be getting into the rhythm and form of the game very quickly, and they don't have time to think about it.

Even Liu Yan, who had just made a mistake in the game, now can't care about guilt and chagrin, but concentrates on defense, hoping to make up for his previous mistakes with the next better defense.

In the face of Nigeria's frantic offensive, the Chinese Olympic team is like a ship sailing in the sea, a big wave hits, and the waves are overwhelming, like a heavy rain. Let the spectators think that the ship must have been sunk to the bottom of the sea.

But when the splash in the sky cleared, everyone found that the bow of the ship had pierced the waves again!

"Come on, National Olympic Team!" He Feng watched this scene in the commentary seat and couldn't help but say.

It stands to reason that the narrator should be neutral, objective and impartial.

But for He Feng, when the national Olympic team finally stood on such an international stage, it was a luxury to ask him to remain objective and neutral.

It is impossible for him to be objective and neutral in such a game, and he will inevitably bring his own strong subjective emotions to the commentary.

And he firmly believes that such explanations are correct, countless times better than those cold "objective and neutral" explanations.

Of course, you have to be neutral and objective when commenting on other teams' games, but when you are commenting on your own home team's games, there is no commentator in the world who can be truly neutral and objective.

"Nigeria want more goal difference...... In any case, don't let them get their way! ”
