When Cahill received the ball, he also saw Zhou Yi, but he didn't pay attention to Zhou Yi at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Zhou Yi scored, he seemed to have lost all his strength, and he basically rarely ran on the field, similar to a wooden stake.

It is impossible for such a person to have any role in defense.

If Zhou Yi is in good physical condition, he can still entangle Cahill, but what can he do now?

Cahill dribbled towards the Chinese goal, completely ignoring Zhou Yi in front of him.

※※※

"Cahill got the ball! No one is defending him! This is terrible!" Liu Hong exclaimed, in fact, he also saw Zhou Yi, but just like Cahill thought, Liu Hong didn't think Zhou Yi could do anything.

The audience in front of the TV was nervous.

This can be regarded as a major mistake for the defense of the Chinese team!

If it is equalized at the last minute...... Haven't all the previous efforts been in vain?

Zhou Jianliang gritted his teeth, stopped his waist, and put his hands into fists on his thighs, his whole body trembling slightly......

※※※

Zhou Yi watched Cahill rush towards him with the ball, and he was a little surprised at first - is this person blind?

However, he quickly reacted that the other party must have thought that he was physically exhausted, and it was impossible to stop him if he didn't exist on the court.

Hey, that's too contemptible!

Cahill had already rushed in front of Zhou Yi, and he flicked the ball to the right, accelerating to pass Zhou Yi's side.

As almost everyone can imagine, Cahill will easily break through Zhou Yi and then fight into the penalty area!

At that time, the Chinese team can only count on the courage of goalkeeper Yang Zhi......

But at this time, Cahill, who killed Zhou Yi's side, suddenly lost his balance!

I saw Zhou Yi pulling Cahill's clothes in his hands, and he had already shoveled towards Cahill under his feet!

But at this time, the football has been taken away by Cahill, and it is absolutely impossible for him to tackle the ball, only ...... Person!

Even pulling and dragging, shoveling under his feet, Zhou Yi just put Cahill to the ground!

It all happened in the light of light, and before anyone could react, Cahill had already fallen...... He watched the football he dialed out keep rolling, and then was held in his arms by the goalkeeper Yang Zhi......

Then he heard a whistle.

Only then did he react, jumped up from the ground, raised his hand and yelled at the referee: "He fouls! fouls!!This is a foul!!"

In Cahill's almost hysterical roar, Zhou Yi just lay on the ground, did not raise his arms to show that he had not touched the other party, nor did he get up to defend himself, he gasped, his chest rose and fell violently, just looking at the night sky of Doha, and there was a noise in his ears.

He heard Cahill's screams of near-desperation, and he heard the exclamations of his teammates.

He also heard the gibble in the stands.

But none of that mattered, what mattered was that he didn't let Cahill dribble into the box.

This is more important than anything else.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi, who was lying on the ground, laughed.

※※※

Cahill broke through...... Zhou Yi! He ...... Shovel Cahill!" Liu Hong's voice was terrified. "This is what it is...... It's a foul ......"

Not only him, but almost all the Chinese fans in front of the TV, as long as they understood what it meant, stared at the TV screen in disbelief with their eyes wide, put their hands over their mouths.

Zhou Jianliang's body, which was originally tense to tremble slightly, suddenly relaxed, and then he leaned back, leaned back on the back of the sofa, and stared blankly at the TV screen.

It turned out that Li Cuiyun, who didn't understand football, followed so many of her son's games, and somewhat understood what this meant.

She turned her head to look at her husband, and the exact answer was evident from the look on his face.

Their son...... helped the Chinese team reach the final, but it is very likely that he will not be able to ...... It's the final!

※※※

The players of the Chinese team were stunned for a moment when they saw Zhou Yi shoveling Cahill to the ground, Cahill jumped up and protested to the referee, and they woke up like a dream, running to the referee from different directions, waving their arms at him, trying to defend Zhou Yi.

But his mouth was open, but he couldn't speak.

How can you justify it?

This is an undisguised and unquestionable ...... Foul!

But even so, the players of the Chinese team still surrounded the referee, hoping that he would show mercy and only issue a yellow card.

But everyone actually knows very well in their hearts that being broken through is a person who directly faces the goalkeeper, and how can a foul that tackles an attacking player be just a yellow card?

However, in the eyes of Australian players, especially in Cahill's view, even giving Zhou Yi a red card directly cannot calm the anger in his heart, because if Zhou Yi does not foul, he will directly impact the penalty area and shoot, and he is confident to shoot the football into it. But now...... The attack came to an abrupt halt three meters in front of the Chinese team's penalty area!

Even if Zhou Yi is punished, it will not be able to change this reality.

Australia will be awarded a free-kick, but can a free-kick compare to a must-score?

Even a penalty is better than a free kick!

※※※

"Damn, Zhou Yi!!" Sun Pan exclaimed in the group.

"Alas......" He Ying sighed.

Yang Muge and Guo Nu were silent.

They knew equally well what it meant.

Zhou Yi can actually not foul and directly put Cahill in the penalty area, maybe Yang Zhi can stop this shot?

This is actually a self-deceptive idea, if Zhou Yi just puts Cahill in, Cahill will score nine times out of ten. No one can guarantee that goalkeeper Yang Zhi can save Cahill's shot, and Zhou Yi did not choose to throw the responsibility on the goalkeeper behind him.

※※※

Gao Hongbo had been standing on the sidelines, but when he saw Zhou Yi's foul, he suddenly squatted down.

One hand is still on the ground.

Fu Bo, his assistant coach next to him, turned his head and didn't find Gao Hongbo, and only saw him when he looked down.

So he also squatted down, next to Gao Hongbo.

Neither of the two men spoke, just looked at the court, waiting...... The verdict of fate.

※※※

Although there were many people around, including Chinese players and Australian players, the referee still lined up the crowd, walked up to Zhou Yi, and then hooked his hand to signal him to get up.

Zhou Yi lay down and didn't move.

He sat up slowly when the referee motioned for him to get up for the third time, and then sat down on the turf and looked up at the referee.

After the referee saw Zhou Yi sit up, he reached out and took out a stack of things from his chest pocket, including yellow cards, red cards, and a small notebook of records.

Then he pulled out the red one from it.

I don't have to look at it anymore.

He showed Zhou Yi a red card!

"Red card!" Zhou Yi ...... Sent off with a red card!" Liu Hong said with a trembling voice. "It's a ...... is an irrefutable foul, and it is reasonable to give Zhou Yi a red card...... But...... But...... As a result, he will miss the Asian Cup final and miss our game against Japan!"

※※※

Zhou Yi actually ...... Sent off?!" The Japanese players in front of the TV were also amazed.

This is really an ending that no one expected.

The Chinese team will eliminate Australia, but the most dangerous and important player of the Chinese team will not make it to the final......

"Now it's good, the championship is here......"

"It's so dangerous! It's so lucky!"

The teammates patted their chests and rejoiced after being surprised.

Shinji Kagawa stared at the TV screen in amazement, deaf to the glories of his teammates around him, unresponsive, as if he and they were people from two different worlds.

※※※

When Zhou Yi saw this red card, his face did not change without expression, and he still had the faint smile he had before. Then he got up from the ground, patted his butt, and turned to walk to the sidelines.

He didn't say goodbye to anyone, didn't explain anything, and didn't defend himself, so he left the scene resolutely. The only exception was that he glanced at Cahill before turning away.

“...... When he fouled, he already knew what the result would be, right?" Liu Hong said as he looked at Zhou Yi's departing back. But he did it anyway, without the slightest hesitation, and he single-handedly sent the Chinese team to the final, but he ...... Thank you, Zhou Yi. Without you, we probably wouldn't have been able to make it to the semi-finals......"

Liu Hong said it very sensationally, but Zhou Jianliang turned off the TV and then got up.

"Don't want to see it?" Li Cuiyun asked him a little strangely.

Instead of answering his wife, he walked straight back to the bedroom.

※※※

"If I were to guard the door...... He definitely doesn't have to foul!" Sun Pan gritted his teeth and typed such a sentence in the group. "I'm 100 per cent not going to let that Cahill score!"

"If I were on the court, I would have come for this foul!" Guo Nu also said.

Yang Muge: "If I were here, I wouldn't have let this vacancy appear......"

He Ying: "If I'm here, even if this goal is scored, it doesn't matter the overall situation......

Then there was a silence in the group. They're not all on the pitch, they're far away in Europe, but this scene makes them feel the same way.

※※※

Zhou Yi walked off the court, Gao Hongbo got up to meet him, stretched out his hand in advance, and when Zhou Yi held his hand, he pulled Zhou Yi in front of him, hugged him, and patted him on the back.

Didn't speak, just shoot.

patted and patted until Zhou Yi said, "Okay, high fingers, I have to leave." ”

Gao Hongbo let go of him at this time, looked at him, and saw that Zhou Yi's face was not sad or angry, and with a faint smile, he was surprised: "You...... Happy?"

"Why can't you be happy?" Zhou Yi spread his hand, "We're going to enter the finals!"

"But you ......"

"I can't make it to the finals? It's okay, just wait another four years. Zhou Yi shook his head with a smile and said. "It's just a matter of time or night. But thumb up, are you ready to declare victory?"

He squeezed his eyes at Gao Hongbo, then turned and left the players' tunnel.

Gao Hongbo's gaze kept chasing his back until he disappeared into the depths of the passage.

※※※

Zhou Yi was sent off with a red card, but the Australian players didn't feel happy or happy at all, and Cahill held his breath and was about to explode.

Zhou Yi just walked away so lightly, which made him extremely unhappy. If Zhou Yi finally cried and was unwilling to leave, he might feel a little better. As a result, Zhou Yi actually walked away with a smile on his face! And he glanced at himself before leaving!

Although he didn't say anything, Cahill read the mockery of himself in Zhou Yi's eyes and smile......

As if to mock them for losing their last chance and will be eliminated!

And when he took the ball and rushed to Zhou Yi, he still felt that this was a soft persimmon pinched casually. It's ironic now...... Maybe choosing Zhou Yi as an opponent was wrong from the beginning!

Cahill would rather stay on the pitch and score the ball himself, rather than leaving the pitch and Australia to be taken to the funeral......

Cahill took out all his anger on this free kick, he slammed the Chinese team's wall hard, and the hitter grabbed the red Chinese team player Gao Lin clutched his stomach and lay on the ground, but the football ...... Also flew out of the sideline.

Then, the referee's whistle sounded - the game is over!

China advanced to the final, while Australia had to fight South Korea for third place......
