Chapter 116: Slippery Feet
Chu Yang stood on the serve for the fourth time in this game.
Su Nian sent the ball out, Chu Yang passed the ball back, and then stepped straight into the heart of England.
The 32-year-old England veteran is no longer as physical as when he was younger, but his defensive experience and on-the-spot reaction have reached the peak level of a defender, coupled with Wilshere and Walker's timely and effective defense, Chu Yang, who was almost omnipotent in the first half, quickly fell silent.
He knew he had to make a change.
Chu Yang rarely took the ball again, but strengthened his running without the ball.
By the time Fernand noticed this, it was too late.
Shortly after England scored their third, Yang Shaotian cut off Thanon's ball and got into another tussle with Quinn in midfield, this time winning with a clever back-heel pass.
Chu Yang took the ball with his back in front of the penalty area, and then passed the ball back to Yang Shaotian, he took advantage of the situation to complete the turn, and Yang Shaotian's comfortable through ball had arrived in front of him in time.
Fernand was on the verge of a great enemy, and hurriedly stuck his position to prevent Chu Yang from breaking through.
But Chu Yang just quickly flicked the ball slightly, adjusted his pace, and hit the goal directly.
England's defenders were taken aback.
Their study of Chu Yang is limited to his short substitute appearance time in the game between China and Switzerland, at most, coupled with the personal experience of the first 45 minutes of this game, the deepest impression of Chu Yang is the kind of combination of movement and static, elegant and free dribble breakthrough, I don't know that Chu Yang still has a long-range shot.
The football flew straight to the bottom left corner of the goal, the ball was very fast, and many Chinese fans were already standing up excitedly, who knew that the football was suddenly touched by a foot sticking out in front of them.
"Chu Yang shot from a distance, Kaili reacted very quickly, the ball was blocked, Su Nian got the ball, the Chinese team still has a chance, Chu Yang and Yang Shaotian have entered the penalty area, Quinn and Fernande are also following them......"
Su Nian did not rush to get up, but adjusted slightly, dodged the angle of the shot, and then calmly pushed the far corner on the right side of the goal.
There were no defenders between him and the goal, and goalkeeper Baia was standing in the middle of the goal, out of reach, everyone thought the ball was going to score, but Baiya, who seemed to be powerless, showed the god-level reaction that only a world-class goalkeeper can do.
Instead of making a save, he blocked the ball with a tackle-like action foot.
The ball flew out of the six-yard box and was met by Carey.
The Englishman breathed a sigh of relief, and the attacking players up front rushed to get ready to meet Carey's big kick to clear.
But the offensive was destined for many twists and turns.
Yang Shaotian gently stretched out his foot and poked the ball off before Kaili was about to clear it, and then passed the ball to the left front of the goal.
He knew that Chu Yang would definitely appear there.
He knew the location of everyone in the penalty area.
Both Carey and Quinn were already drawn to him, with Baira just on his feet and still on the right side of the goal, while Wilshere was following Su Nian.
There is only one Fernand who can stop Chu Yang, but with Chu Yang's sudden activation ability, Fernand cannot be his opponent.
This goal will definitely go in.
Chu Yang appeared ghostly in the thumping of the English fans, and stretched out his foot to meet the ball.
Fernande, who was behind him, couldn't stop it, squeezed in from behind him, and kicked the ball out of bounds.
Chu Yang fell to the ground.
A sharp whistle blew and the referee quickly ran into the penalty area, pointing to the penalty spot with one hand and pulling out the cards with the other.
Quinn's eyes were quick, and he pressed the referee's hand to pull out the card, and explained, "Mr. referee, he didn't mean it. ”
Fernande also hurriedly ran over, shook his hand and said: "I didn't hit him, he fell by himself, it's not a foul ......"
Duan Xiang shouted excitedly: "Chu Yang fell in the penalty area, the referee awarded a penalty, it looks like he will also play a card against Fernand, there is no problem with such a penalty, this is a must-score, if Chu Yang does not fall to the ground, now the score on the field has changed, so it is reasonable to give a penalty." ”
Yang Shaotian pulled Chu Yang up and said, "How is it?" ”
Chu Yang looked embarrassed when he fell to the ground, and he couldn't afford not to be nervous.
The devil knows what would have become of this team without Chu Yang.
"It's okay," Chu Yang patted his buttocks, "his foot slipped a little." ”
"It's okay...... Slippery feet? ”
You're a super striker, a talented shooter, and you can slip your feet?
Is it funny?
Chu Yang said as a matter of course: "Yes." ”
"Then ......" Yang Shaotian looked at the referee who was surrounded by the British.
Chu Yang shrugged his shoulders and walked over.
England's players were watching him wary.
A penalty is still within the acceptable range, but if the Chinese fanned the flames and let the referee send Fernande off, the outcome of the game is really hard to say.
Yang Shaotian and Su Nian hurriedly stood beside Chu Yang and looked at the other side with the same vigilance.
The forbidden area was suddenly tense and full of gunpowder.
Chu Yang said: "Mr. referee, he didn't foul, I slipped and fell." ”
Yang Shaotian showed an expression of "sure enough", reached out and rubbed the back of Chu Yang's head, and walked towards the outside of the forbidden area.
Su Nian and the players from England looked at Chu Yang incredulously.
"Do you know what you're talking about, Chinese?" The referee gave him the same serious look.
"I know," Chu Yang said, "I slipped my foot, and it has nothing to do with him." ”
"Okay," the referee stopped pulling out the cards and looked at the England players around him, "but the whistle has been blown, the penalty has been awarded, and it can't be changed, it's the rule." ”
The Englishman, of course, was not satisfied, and began to look around him again for explanations, until the referee made another gesture to draw the cards and silence them.
Not to mention the fans in the stands and the spectators watching the live broadcast, even the other players on the field are inexplicable, and the commentators of various countries are also confused.
Duan Xiang said: "Chu Yang stood up, he didn't seem injured, this is good news, huh?" He walked to the referee, as if to say something, Yang Shaotian patted his head, he should be appreciating the performance of this little brother, but Quinn and Fernand also came over and patted Chu Yang's shoulder, what is going on? ”
The other players on the field quickly figured out what was going on, and the England players were naturally full of gratitude and praise for Chu Yang, while the Chinese players looked much more complicated.
Is it really that noble to talk about professional ethics at such a time?
The ball was placed on the penalty spot, everyone else withdrew from the penalty area, and Chu Yang stood in front of the football.
The people outside the stadium still haven't figured out what the situation is, but they can still understand the scene of preparing to take a penalty, Duan Xiang can only put his doubts behind him first, and continues to explain: "Chu Yang's position is very peculiar, he doesn't leave room to run, it seems that he wants to shoot on the spot, we all know that his shooting power is very strong, but this is still a bit too risky." ”
A whistle sounded, and Chu Yang gently pushed the ball.
The ball slowly rolled towards Baia, who bent over and picked him up.
Now anyone who is not blind can see that this is a penalty that has been abandoned.
