Chapter 1218 - Doing What You Say!

"It's over!"

Shi Ke, who made a sliding tackle on the ground, saw Higuain have a backhand to slide the ball out and suddenly realized what was going to happen next, and sure enough, referee Rizzoli's whistle sounded.

Although the whistle is not very loud, it is particularly striking in such a crucial game.

However, Shi Ke did not give up struggling, he got up from the turf as soon as possible, shrugged his shoulders and made a diving motion, which meant that Higuain faked a fall.

As a professional footballer, self-justification is the most normal, and at the same time, it can also interfere with the referee and affect his normal judgment.

But...... The referee Rizzoli's attitude was very clear, he glanced at Shi Ke lightly, and then pointed to the penalty spot.

Penalty kick!

Seeing Rizzoli's penalty, the backline players led by Feng Xiaoting walked in front of Rizzoli one after another, signaling that Shi Ke had touched the football first and then brought down Higuain, which was a beautiful defense.

Rizzoli was so confident in his judgment that he shook his head to reject the Chinese player's arguments and patiently explained that Shi had not touched the football and had kicked Higuain.

The Argentine fans in the stands were thrilled and cheered for Rizzoli's decision, they knew ...... The score is about to equalize!

Originally, the Argentine player saw that the Chinese player wanted to influence Rizzoli's penalty, and ran over indignantly, but Rizzoli's penalty was very firm and decided that Shi had committed a foul.

So they turned and ran towards Higuain, who had fallen in the box, to celebrate their penalty.

Higuain knew that he was almost pretending, so he pretended to be in pain and celebrated the penalty with Messi, Di Maria and others.

It's not that Higuain faked a fall, but that he wants to amplify Shi Ke's foul action to win more sympathy points and increase the chances of Rizzoli awarding a penalty.

Pep Guardiola, the head coach of the Chinese team, ran to the fourth official excitedly, complaining that Higuain was a fake fall, and Rizzoli awarded a penalty, which was too arbitrary.

The fourth official smiled politely and signaled that all penalties on the field would be based on the referee.

In fact, Guardiola saw that Shi Ke fouled, and his complaint was purely broken to affect the referee's judgment, which was the same as Shi Ke's defense, giving the referee on the field a certain amount of pressure.

With no way to influence Rizzoli's decision, Guardiola had to turn around and return to the home team's dugout in disappointment.

However, at this moment, Rizzoli showed Shi Ke his second yellow card of the game after awarding a penalty.

According to the rules of football matches, if you accumulate two yellow cards in a game, you will be sent off with a red card!

This can cause Guardiola's strong dissatisfaction!

If Rizzoli has enough justification for awarding a penalty to Argentina, then this yellow card is definitely biased in favor of Argentina, you must know that Argentina and the Chinese team 11 play 11 is quite difficult.

Other words...... The red card is entirely in Argentina's favour, and perhaps the balance of victory will be tilted in Argentina's favour.

So Guardiola shook his arm quite angrily, vented his frustration to the fourth official, and said that Rizzoli must have received some benefits.

Suddenly, the fourth official's face darkened.

Just as he was about to call Rizzoli over, Guardiola was pulled aside by his assistant, otherwise Guardiola would definitely be sentenced to death.

When the time comes...... It's really troublesome.

The sudden change made it a little difficult for the Chinese fans in the stands to accept, and they all held their heads in their hands, looking confused.

If the Chinese team has an absolute advantage before the penalty, the Chinese team that awarded the penalty and the red card will no longer have an advantage, and in terms of momentum, it will be completely inferior to Argentina.

The outcome of the game will become confusing.

What about the perfect script?

※※※

Rizzoli pulled out a yellow card from his trouser pocket and then a red card.

This action also became Rizzoli's most eye-catching action in this game, and it immediately caused a bombardment of the commentators on the spot.

Countless commentators gave dissatisfied comments on Rizzoli's penalty, although from a competitive point of view, Shi Ke's action is no problem to get a yellow card, but considering the excitement of the game, it must be taken into account that Shi Ke has already received a yellow card in the first half, and his second yellow card must be handled carefully......

However, Rizzoli's decision was quite decisive, directly a penalty and a red card.

Maybe...... The rest of the game will go to the other extreme.

Argentina will definitely continue to send a large number of defensive forces to limit Ailo, taking into account the destructive power of Ailuo, while the Chinese team will definitely not invest too many troops in the attack because of the lack of one player.

In addition, Shi Ke, who was sent off, is a central defender, and in order to ensure the balance of attack and defense, he will definitely remove an attacking player and replace it with a central defender.

In this way, the offense of both sides will definitely be greatly reduced, and the excitement of the game will plummet.

In the words of the commentator of German national television: "Although there was nothing wrong with Rizzoli's decision, there was a lack of flexibility, you know...... It's a World Cup final! ”

CCTV commentator Huang Jianxiang said dissatisfiedly: "This is definitely a penalty that can affect the final!" ”

The commentator of the Argentine national television was very happy, and he said excitedly: "Beautiful! Italian referee Rizzoli's decision was quite accurate, there was no problem with the penalty kick, and there was no problem with the yellow card! ”

※※※

The 21-year-old Shi Ke would have made history if he could play the whole game in this game, but what he didn't expect was ...... On the spur of the moment, he actually allowed Argentina to get a penalty, and at the same time let the team play one less person, this huge psychological gap is difficult for a 21-year-old young man to accept, so he is very sad.

Looking at the bright red card that Rizzoli held alof, I couldn't believe it.

It wasn't until the referee pointed his finger to the player's tunnel on the sidelines that Shi Ke reacted and turned to leave the field.

He knew, perhaps...... This turn is eternal.

"Little rock, don't be sad, you've done your best, you limited Messi for most of the game, it was just an accident, don't forget...... It was Xiao Lei who was guarding in front of the goal, taking 10,000 steps back and equalizing the score, don't forget...... And I'm here, I promise you, the champion can't run! ”

Just when Shi Ke was heartbroken, Ai Luo put his hand on Shi Ke's shoulder and said.

"Captain."

Ai Luo affectionately hugged Shi Ke's shoulder, touched the back of Shi Ke's head at the same time, and said firmly: "I will do what I say!" ”

When Shi Ke got off the field, Guardiola, as the head coach, still comforted him a few words, signaling him not to worry, and the meaning expressed was the same as that of Iroh - the champion can't run away!

At the same time, the Chinese fans who were close to the side gave applause to Shi Ke, who was sent off, to relieve the pressure on the 21-year-old.

In addition, before entering the player's tunnel, Shi Ke glanced at the glittering Hercules Cup, intentionally or unintentionally.

"I do what I say!

Immediately, the words that Iroh had just said appeared in his mind.

He rekindled his hopes for the team's future championship prospects.

Because...... Iroh is synonymous with doing what he says!
