Chapter 246: A Glimmer of Hope
The sudden penalty made the Atletico players look confused, and Godin squatted directly on the ground with his head in his hands, not sad for his mistakes, but full of grievances.
The Atletico Madrid players immediately surrounded Lahoz, and Thomas's fingers were about to poke the bridge of Lahoz's nose, and his mouth kept complaining. Oh no, it looks more like venting your anger.
Simeone jumped up and twisted the fourth official for the first time, and roared very excitedly: "This can be awarded a penalty, is there any heavenly reason!" Normal physical contact. Did Camp Nou not allow the visitors to win? ”
The fourth official solemnly warned: "Mr. Simeone, please respect the referee team!" Otherwise, I'll have to report to the referee and let you calm down in the stands. ”
Naturally, the Atletico Madrid player's appeal is invalid. Even a goal can be blown offside, a penalty can be blown or not, it all depends on the referee's mood and position, and it is normal for there to be a little controversy, right?
However, the Camp Nou fans did not appreciate it, and instead gave Lahoz a boo, dissatisfied with Lahoz's mercy on Godin's men. At the very least, a yellow card should be given – and if Lahoz could have given him a red card, he might have received a round of applause from the home fans.
Although the result cannot be changed, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people. With the exception of the Catalan TV commentators, almost all the commentators were unhappy with the penalty.
Garcia angrily complained: "Godin doesn't have to be sad, he just lost to a group of 'extraordinary' actors!" Atletico Madrid players are 100% pure professional players, and they really can't be compared with the grandmaster of La Masia Film and Television Academy! ”
Behind Garcia's on-site commentary bench was a home stand of tens of thousands of people, and he didn't seem to worry at all about whether his words would cause trouble when he walked out of the Camp Nou.
Although He Wei also held back the fire in his belly, his self-cultivation was relatively good, and after taking two deep breaths to suppress the fire, he questioned in a slightly mild tone: "If Atletico Madrid loses, Simeone will definitely not be convinced." Two consecutive one-in, one-out penalties were enough to determine the outcome of the game. The protagonist of the focus battle should be the player, not the referee. Lahoz went a little too far. ”
In China, the Barcelona fans who were still very excited just now disappeared en masse, and the fans of Atletico Madrid and Wen Zhihao started the crazy bombardment mode.
", give the referee two words, SB!"
"Barcelona dogs, come out and bark, I'm a Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid fan. I just want to say that your godfather's level is really inferior, the home whistle is so obvious, when everyone is stupid? ”
"I originally thought that the black whistle and dark whistle of the Chinese Super League had reached its peak, but this game allowed me to see new heights. Sure enough, there is an all-round gap between Chinese football and the five major leagues! ”
"The La Liga referee really lives up to his reputation, the level is poor and the temper stinks. If the referee problem is not solved, La Liga will always be able to eat behind the Premier League, the world's first league? It's always good to have ideas. ”
And Sky Sports' commentator Joe? Kruka thought more. He was worried about England.
Lajoz, who was also on the referee list in a few months' time, prayed from the bottom of his heart that England would not run into the expressive referee. In the previous World Cups, England suffered the most losses from referees and had the most unjust cases. Beckham's controversial red card at the '98 World Cup, Frank Lampard's goal-line case at the 2010 World Cup. Two world-renowned controversial penalties have directly buried two generations of England's golden team.
These two injustices of England have also indirectly promoted the progress of world football. Frank Lampard's uncontroversial goal-line case prompted FIFA to put the use of goal-line technology on the agenda. It is now widely adopted at the World Series.
Joe? Kruka's concerns also represent the aspirations of most England fans. Such a price is unacceptable once or twice, so there should be no third time.
The referee team and the players from both sides, who were still calm, worked together and finally took control of the situation. Thomas received a yellow card for pointing at the referee.
Wen Zhihao whispered in Thomas's ear: "Believe Young! He was able to keep the penalty and we had a chance. ”
Messi walked to the penalty spot with the ball, and the Camp Nou first shouted like a tide, and the next second, quickly quieted down. lest the slightest noise affect the psychological warfare of Messi and Oblak.
Off the pitch, Atletico's all hopes for this game are in Oblak's thoughts. This is a save with no way back, although in the face of Messi, one of the world's peerless double pride, the pressure can be imagined. However, Oblak must keep an equaliser in place for Atletico. With half an hour to go, one goal behind and two goals behind, morale is completely different.
Atletico are actually at the crossroads of a crucial turn, and it is up to Oblak which side to turn.
Everyone else held their breath and didn't dare to take a breath, Oblak also had a "friendship" greeting with Messi with a smile on his face, and the audience and the commentary couldn't see Messi's expression of bowing his head, but the angle of He Wei and Xu Yang just captured Oblak's vague and sly smile.
Oblak stood in front of the goal, his hands were raised, and the whole person was like a net covering the goal, at least it looked reassuring enough.
……
The referee's whistle blows, Messi runs, one step, two steps, three steps!
Shot!
The crowd held their breath as the home fans eagerly awaited the moment when the ball hit the net.
Messi chose the dead corner at the bottom right end of the goal, the angle was good enough, but ...... Oblak's hands are faster than the ball! With a flick of his fingertips, he slightly changed the course of the ball, and at the moment when it was about to cross the goal line, the ball deflected towards the baseline.
"Ahh Oblak pounced! Atletico still have a chance. He Wei and Xu Yang high-fived each other, and their premonition just now was not wrong. Oblak defeated Messi in this psychological battle. I don't know what he just said to Messi with a smile.
"Oblak! He saved Atletico. It also retains the suspense of this season's championship! ”
In such a watershed critical battle, Garcia's words are not an exaggeration.
The entire Atletico squad swarmed up, and Oblak and his teammates high-fived in celebration.
Wen Zhihao didn't forget to ask him while he was excited: "Young, what did you seem to say to Messi just now, is this your original psychological tactic?" It seems to be very effective, alas! ”
Oblak whispered in Wen Zhihao's ear for a while, and after Wen Zhihao heard it, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although it's not very domineering, but this time I was beaten by you." ”
Oblak's save from the penalty was a huge stimulus, and the renewed smiles on the faces of the Atletico players showed that they had rekindled their confidence and desire to win.
It must be won back! Otherwise, I'm too sorry for the courage of my goalkeeper.
Atletico is like a person who has been lost in a deep cave for a long time, and suddenly sees a glimmer of light in a desperate situation.
Although the dawn of victory is slim, those in the darkness will burst out with all their strength to fight for the light.
