Chapter 287: Fake Fall
The kiss marks on Lu Chong's face attracted the attention of the on-site director, and directly gave him a super-large close-up, so that his face occupied the entire big screen of the scene, and also appeared in the TV screen broadcast simultaneously around the world. 【】
There was a neat burst of laughter in the Stadium of Light, and commentators from all over the world immediately began to ridicule Lu Chong's peach blossom luck in their own languages.
Huang Jianqiang explained rather gossipy: "An interesting picture appeared in the VIP seat, and Lu Chong seemed to have won the hearts of two beauties at the same time. The Greek saint cheered and fell for it, and Avril left her mark on his face directly, I don't know if he expected this scene to happen to him!"
"In addition, according to the news from China, Lu Chong once announced his relationship with my country's famous singer Jiang Xiaoxiao in China, I don't know if Miss Jiang is watching our live broadcast at this time. Here I want to help Lu Chong explain to Miss Jiang, judging from what I saw at the scene, Lu Chong is all passive, I hope to avoid the fate of kneeling on the keyboard after he goes back!"
"Brother Chong, there's only so much I can help you......"
Finding the kiss marks on his face from the big screen at the scene, Lu Chong quickly wiped off his sleeves, and at the same time secretly complained in his heart. This is a big limelight, but when he returns to Huaguo, he has to explain to Luo Bing and Jiang Xiaoxiao, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!
Looking at Avril with a wicked smile on his face, Lu Chong was also quite helpless, everyone kissed in public, he couldn't blame others!
"You must teach this girl a good lesson tonight!" Lu Chong could only be ruthless in his heart.
However, it seems that Avril has now become tired of Lu Chong's "lesson", and even the essence that was difficult to swallow before, now Avril is already happy. Lu Chong's "lesson" no longer poses a threat to her.
After Lu Chong wiped the kiss marks off his face, the director immediately switched the camera to the court, and with the referee's whistle, the second half of the game between the two sides started again.
The start of the game almost replicated the first half, except that Portugal's attack began to become more aggressive, and in less than four minutes, Portugal's centre-forward Pauletta found a shot in the box that shocked all Greek supporters into a cold sweat.
It's a pity that the Portuguese striker's shooting skills are still a little worse, allowing Portugal to miss the goal again, causing a wave of lamentation from the Portuguese fans in the stands.
Two minutes later, before the Greeks could get up front, the Portuguese came back with a volley, this time with their midfield commander Deco who burst into the box.
All of a sudden, the Greek team's penalty area was suddenly in chaos, and nine of the Greek team's eleven players appeared in their own penalty area, blocking Deco's shooting route.
Deco is known for his calmness, and when he couldn't find the angle to shoot, he immediately made the most reasonable choice......
"Deco, Deco, who has been in charge of midfield operation, suddenly stepped forward this time, and also disrupted the Greek team's defensive deployment, he fell in the box, will it be a penalty?"
At this moment, the eyes of the whole world are focused on the referee on duty, and his next move may determine the fate of the game between the two teams.
The Portuguese fans inside the Stadium of Light immediately shouted in unison: "Penalty, red card!" to put pressure on the referee on duty.
The Greek fans, who had an absolute numerical disadvantage, also issued a cry of "fake fall, red card!", demanding that the referee severely punish Deco who tried to cheat the penalty.
It's just that their numbers are so small that the voices are so suppressed by the Portuguese fans that they can barely be heard. This is the advantage that comes with the home field, and if you meet a referee who is not very determined, it is possible to make a decision in the home team's favor in the face of pressure from tens of thousands of fans.
Niko, who was beside Lu Chong, grabbed Lu Chong's sleeve a little nervously, and said eagerly: "There is no foul, right, Lu! This ball is not fouled, right? That Portuguese is faking a fall, oh my God, God will punish him!"
Although he is not proficient in football, Niko certainly understands the basic rules, and if the referee thinks that a Greek player has committed a foul that caused Deco to fall to the ground, it will be a penalty in the position where he is now on the ground.
The situation of the Greek team at this time was already very unfavorable, and if one more penalty was awarded and one goal was down, the game would really have to happen by miracle to win.
In fact, even if Lu Chong was on the rostrum in an excellent position, because of the distance, he couldn't see the situation in the restricted area at that time.
Lu Chong stretched out his hand and patted Niko's shoulder slightly, and said with a smile: "Relax, I believe the referee will make the correct decision, thank you to President Johansson's UEFA, this is a very fair European Cup!"
Hearing Lu Chong's praise, Johansson turned his head and smiled at him, and said, "Ensuring the fairness of the competition is the responsibility of us event organizers!"
Under everyone's gaze, the referee rushed to Deco's side and made a gesture to him to get up immediately!
"No penalty! The referee made his own decision, and the Greek player did not foul the ball! Let's take a look at the slow motion, yes, there was no obvious physical contact with the Greek player before Deco fell, it was a fake fall, and the referee made an accurate decision!"
Through the slow motion replayed on the big screen, the picture just now is clearly restored, although there are still two Greek players in front of Deco, but neither of them pushed him.
Instead, Deco tried to pull the two out of the way with his hands, and when he didn't succeed, he fell backwards to try to win Portugal a chance to click.
Strictly speaking, the referee's decision was still a bit biased in favor of the home team, because under normal circumstances, players who attempt to cheat a penalty will receive a yellow card. And the referee only gave a verbal warning to Deco and did not take out the card, which is already a preferential treatment for the host.
After all, the person in charge of the broadcast on the scene was also Portuguese, and for this disgraceful picture, they only played a slow-motion replay once, and then stopped broadcasting, apparently even the director had accepted the fact that it was a fake fall.
The players also accepted the decision, after all, they were the participants in the field, and they knew better than anyone else.
However, the Portuguese fans booed dissatisfied, they didn't care so much, in short, the referee did not give them a decision in their favor, it is impossible to satisfy them.
The atmosphere of the game, with this small turmoil, also became more and more intense, and the Greek team also felt the danger from the lesson just now, and began to consciously move the formation forward while defending, hoping to threaten the Portuguese goal.
