Chapter 190: The goal is valid
Fernando is also helpless, he knows that he has not been violated, which is a moral as an athlete.
Steven frowned, standing not very far away, he knew very well that Atletico Madrid had absolutely no foul just now, and the referee was in a very good position, but they just blew the penalty.
In fact, at the beginning of the game, let alone Atletico Madrid, even Steven himself thought it was very strange, why did the referees help them?
How strong are Liverpool? Of course, Steven didn't think that Liverpool had reached the point of being invincible in the world, and everyone wanted to win the game, but Steven didn't want to win like this, and it was not very glorious to win like this.
Steven stepped forward and patted Fernando, signaling to stop talking.
Slow-motion replays are non-stop, and Fernando is not violated.
"The referee has a big problem, if this penalty is scored, Atletico will be cornered." Huang Huo said regretfully.
The first leg is 1-1, and if Liverpool score two goals in this game, Atletico Madrid will have to score three to ensure they advance.
There are a lot of people who can take penalties in Liverpool, everyone looks at Fernando, and in general, whoever creates the penalty will take it, unless the person has bad footwork and is unwilling to take it.
Fernando was hesitant, he didn't want to send Atletico to hell with his own hands.
Steven stepped forward, "I'll do this ball." ”
Fernando nodded and told Steven to take the penalty.
Steven stood in front of the ball, and now all eyes were on this man.
David was only mentioned to the first team this season, and he quickly occupied the position of the main goalkeeper, facing the number one star of the Liverpool team, who is also the captain, David was still a little nervous, staring at Steven's feet, trying to guess which side Steven would play.
Steven glanced at David, Atletico Madrid's current youth talent is very good, he and Fernando have also communicated many times, knowing that the strength of the Atletico Madrid team is no worse than their Liverpool, in the face of such an opponent, it is really disgraceful to use despicable means.
Under everyone's gaze, Steven didn't retreat far, but slowly ran to the ball, gently kicked the ball forward, and didn't look at where the ball went, but turned his head and left.
Everyone was stunned, such a soft ball would naturally not pose a threat to the fans, David was stunned and held the ball in his arms, what does this mean?
Huang Huo was the first to react: "Steven is worthy of being a Premier League celebrity, with a very high professional ethic, he thinks that this goal was not fouled by Atletico Madrid, so this penalty should not be awarded, so he naturally deliberately missed this penalty, and his professionalism is worthy of respect." ”
The Atletico Madrid fans at the scene immediately burst into warm applause and gave the British star a gift.
Steven ran up to Jin Feng and didn't say anything.
"Thank you." Jin Feng nodded and said.
"You're welcome." Steven smiled and said, "We're not going to take advantage of you." ”
"Actually, you already have it." Jin Feng couldn't help but complain.
"There's no way around that ball." Steven shrugged regretfully.
"Although Steven lost a chance to extend the score, his noble character is very respected." Huang Huo now has a very high evaluation of Steven.
At halftime, Javier continued to emphasize not to rush, but to take his time.
At the start of the second half, Atletico continued to maintain their rhythm without the slightest bit of roughness, as if it was not them who were behind now.
Liverpool, of course, are not in a hurry, although a one-goal lead is not very safe, but a lead is a lead.
However, Liverpool were also very careful, they did not give Atletico the slightest chance, nor did they give Atletico a chance to take a free kick in front.
Jin Feng squinted his eyes and looked at Liverpool's front court, because with the help of the referee, it was too difficult to win a free kick chance, but Jin Feng had other ways.
Long-range shooting has always been one of Jinfeng's killer features, and Jinfeng unceremoniously broke through with the ball.
Liverpool began to chase and intercept, they were very strict about Jin Feng's defense, Jin Feng was dragged and pulled by them, but Jin Feng just didn't fall to the ground, he kept his balance, because Jin Feng understood that if he fell to the ground, the original penalty area would definitely be directly blown a set-piece, if it was close, the referee would not pay attention to it at all.
The referee's whistle was in his mouth, and he was also observing, as long as Jin Feng fell to the ground, he would immediately blow the whistle and stop the game, but Jin Feng just didn't fall, and there was no way to blow the whistle.
The Golden Wind drove straight in, using Marseille slalom in a row.
"It's so beautiful, in such a good state, but the national team doesn't accept it." Huang Huo still couldn't help but complain about the national team.
Coming to the front of the penalty area, the referee is still staring at Jin Feng, as long as Jin Feng has a little movement, he will unceremoniously blow to stop and give a foul to Atletico Madrid.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jin Feng pointed the ball towards the left side, and the player on that side immediately came up to get the ball.
At this time, Jin Feng was not idle, he quickly ran to the front of the penalty area, the player understood, and the ball was immediately passed back.
Jin Feng easily got the ball, didn't stop, and shot directly.
"Shot, Golden Wind's long-range shot from outside the box." Huang Huo stared at the football.
Many goalkeepers are afraid of this kind of ball because there are many unknowns, and if someone touches it casually in the box, it is possible to change direction and make it more difficult to defend.
Jin Feng's ball was so powerful that the goalkeeper saw the direction, and he felt that he was not sure of what to do, but he could hit the ball out.
But at this moment, an accident happened, and the rest of Liverpool's defenders did their best, and they blocked the shot one after another.
The ball hit a player's body, arm to be exact.
The ball flew in the other direction and the goalkeeper could only look at the ball and sigh.
"It's in, it's in." Huang Huo shouted excitedly.
A goal meant an equaliser and Atletico and Liverpool were back on the same page.
The referee was stunned for a moment, the ball was in his mind for a long time, he didn't know how to blow, if the goal was invalid, then it was necessary to come up with a reasonable reason, it was obvious that the handball of the Liverpool defenders was a good opportunity, but the handball in the penalty area was to award a penalty, which was no different from sending the opponent a goal.
If the handball was outside the penalty area, the referee would not hesitate to award a free kick, and in the end, in desperation, the referee could only blow the ball for a valid goal.
The referee points to the center circle and signals that the goal is valid.
