"The referee declared the goal invalid and showed a red card to neon player Koji Nakata!" The CCTV commentator shouted excitedly: "The Huaxia team won a penalty at the same time!" ”

"What?!" In the midst of the crowd of cheers, which seemed to tear down the roof of the bar, two young men were shocked and looked at each other.

Brad Friedel once said that a penalty is a sure win for a goalkeeper because all the pressure is on the penalty taker and everyone thinks he should score.

It may be biased to say that "all the pressure is on the free thrower", because now the pressure is also on Xiao Yao and Shen Jie.

Since they are not betting on the "national football victory", but the score of "1:3", which means that as long as the national football team scores the goal, for the two small ones, the game is over.

And as we all know, in football, the goal rate of penalty kicks is between 80%-90%.

But in fact, the game is over – because once the wheel of fortune starts turning, the slightest difference will be a matter of course.

To achieve the original ending of 1:3, even if it is absolutely impossible, it is basically a thing that makes people not very confident.

Not only the pure pessimist Xiao Yao, but even Shen Jie herself has realized this.

But drowning people will always habitually grasp the last straw.

It is commonly known that the heart of the Yellow River does not die, and the coffin does not shed tears.

Xiao Yao and Shen Jie's eyes were fixed on the TV screen.

Penalties were introduced into football in 1891 to punish those who tried to prevent a goal by foul play.

In 1905, a new rule was added that the goalkeeper must remain on the goal line until the ball is kicked. This deprives the goalkeeper of the freedom to push forward six yards – the culprit behind the high rate of penalty kick failures.

In 1929, goalkeepers were banned from moving laterally, but this was often ignored and was eventually repealed in 1997.

According to the current rules of the game of football, the goalkeeper must stand on the goal line between the posts and must not move forward until the ball is hit.

All other players are outside the box, behind the ball, at least 10 yards away.

The shooter is chosen, the goalkeeper and other players must be in place, and after the referee signals, the pressure begins!

Zheng Zhi stood still in front of the penalty spot, his eyes focused on Noh Kawaguchi, the goalkeeper of the Neon team.

The atmosphere inside the bar is tense, and the hearts of the audience are racing fast with every moment of tension.

Xiao Yao felt that his palms were pinched by Shen Jie.

The rain poured down outside the window, as if it was also cheering for this fierce battle.

The referee blew the whistle.

Zheng Zhi took a firm step and put the ball on the penalty spot.

His expression was calm and calm, as if all the pressure had been turned into determination.

Kawaguchi stood in front of the goalline, his eyes equally determined.

He's ready too.

With the referee's whistle, Zheng Zhi calmly stepped forward and steadily shot the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.

The ball crossed the TV screen in a beautiful parabola – it was so fast that it was almost undefensible.

Kawaguchi pounced on the ball alive.

But the ball had already gone over his fingers and into the net!

The crowd inside the bar erupted in deafening cheers, with people waving national flags, hugging each other and cheering.

Zheng Zhi's penalty was successful, and the national football team took the lead.

And in this sea of hysterical carnival, there are two little rares who are mourning, and they can't let others see their sadness.

It's actually not accurate to say this, because Xiao Yao's mentality is actually okay.

He even had a sense of relief.

For example, when the final exam results are released, I find that I really failed, which is this feeling of relief.

Out of simple patriotic feelings, he even had some snickering.

If yes, if, the result of the game changed because he bought those football lottery tickets.

Xiao Yao felt that the money was well spent, and it was worth it!

He even entered a fantasy time - if every time the national football team participates in a football game in the future, he buys the national football team to lose, so over time, will the national football team crush Argentina and Brazil and become a world-class team......?

I'm a national hero.

It's just a bit expensive.

Speaking of money.

This time, it is also a great thing to stop Shen Jie's foolish behavior of showing hand and even leveraging.

First of all, the significant economic losses of the entire family were recovered, and only small (relative) losses were caused.

Secondly, history – well, or the future, bears witness to its own remarkable vision, which is also very helpful in their own struggle for the initiative between couples and couples.

To say that is, "Look, I'm right, right? Thanks to me for stopping you......"

However, it is not appropriate to say this to her now, lest the other party become angry and further vent his anger.

People with high emotional intelligence now have to accompany her gently, comfort her, and don't say anything weird.

The girl will naturally understand her own naivety in her heart, and then begin to look up to your wisdom and foresight.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Yao began to pat Shen Jie's right arm.

The latter twisted his body.

Tsk, what's the situation? Xiao Yao thought with some displeasure.

……

If the two of them were watching the game at home, they would have turned off the TV a long time ago, but since it was a group activity, there was no good reason to leave the game early......

Shen Jie didn't know what she was thinking, but Xiao Yao enjoyed the rest of the "brand-new" football game with relish.

The specific process of the game will not be repeated, and in the end, Li Yi scored another goal in injury time to lock the victory at 3:1.

Well, that's right, 3:1.

The score is not wrong, but it is reversed, Xiao Yao thought to himself.

The long-haired righteous knight stepped on the table: "Tonight's wine, I'll !!! ”

In the midst of cheers, Ouyang Qianqian shouted, "You can do it!! I'm here to please!! ”

"None of you can snatch me," the bar owner raised his beer glass, "all free tonight!" ”

"Boss, can you add more?" Ribbon fish shouted.

"Plus!" The bar owner said, "But you can only add draft beer?" ”

"Cut!" The crowd cheered: "Stingy! ”

During the staggered carnival, Xiao Yao drank a lot.

He hadn't forgotten to send a text message to Yu Luying to apply for a report, and after getting permission, he slowly became foggy and drunk.

Shen Jie didn't drink less, Xiao Yao knew that others were drinking and carnivaling, and she was using alcohol to kill her sorrows.

"I can't do it, I can't do it." Xiao Yao whispered in Shen Jie's ear, but the music in the bar was too loud for Shen Jie to hear.

Xiao Yao's consciousness began to gradually blur, as if it was shrouded in a faint mist.

The lights inside the bar became soft and flickering, and the laughter and celebrations of the people became distant and hazy.

He felt as if his body was becoming lilt, and the floor beneath his feet was becoming unstable, making him stagger in his footsteps.

The boy's mind began to wander, and his mind seemed unable to focus on any specific thing.

He looked around at random, and people's faces were blurred, like abstract paintings.

The rhythm of the music gradually became chaotic and became a distant noise, and it was no longer possible to distinguish the specific melody.

At the same time, Xiao Yao's expression also became blurred, and his eyes were out of focus, as if he was immersed in a dream world.

He no longer had clear thoughts, just felt the confusion and relaxation brought by alcohol.

The people around him seemed to share this illusion with him, and everyone's smiles and eyes became blurred and illusory.

"Out of Asia and into the world." Xiao Yao heard someone say to him.

"Rush to Asia, to the world." Xiao Yao repeated with his tongue wide open.

"Oh come to Ole Ole Ole Ole ......"

"Enough, oh, come to L'Olet, ...... enough"

Although Xiao Yao slowly became drunk, there was still a trace of clarity in his heart. However, at this moment, he chose to relax, chose to leave all his worries behind, and followed the carnival atmosphere of the bar, allowing himself to immerse himself in this blurry night.

……

…………

………………

A ringtone of his mobile phone woke him up from his sleep, and Xiao Yao suddenly looked up from the bar, only to find that there were not many people left in the bar.

A familiar face, as if you can't even see one.

The phone call was from the grandmother, and the old woman scolded him on the other end of the receiver and asked him what time it was.

Oh, what time is it?

"If I don't have an umbrella, I can lend you one." The bar owner said as he skilfully wiped the bar.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Xiao Yao said with a big tongue: "Are you going to close?" ”

"It's not a hurry to close," the bar owner began to pack up the bottles and cans again: "I'm just afraid that your family will be in a hurry - look at your appearance, you're still a middle school student, right?" ”

"Ahh Xiao Yao responded and subconsciously looked outside the door of the bar.

Outside the bar, the night sky is covered in pouring rain, and the raindrops pour down like a silver beaded curtain.

The rain hits the streets, making small splashes and creating a blurry picture.

The road surface was slightly slippery from the rain, the light of the street lamps cast a faint and hazy glow in the rain curtain, and the occasional splash of the tires of passing vehicles reflected the raindrops in the rain.

The wind was howling, and the rain was chilling, making people feel a chill. Visibility at night is poorly affected by the rain, the outlines of buildings and streets are blurred, and the pouring rain envelops the night in a silent and wet atmosphere, as if it were a furious show of nature.

"Heaven is not beautiful," said the barkeeper, wiping his glass, "or these lads would have gone out into the streets." ”

"That's right." Xiao Yao said.

At this time, Shen Jie also raised her head from the bar in a drunken daze.

Her hair was a little messy, her big eyes were blurred and out of focus, and her pupils were slightly dilated, as if they were crystals in the fog.

The girl's eyelashes had crystal droplets of water that shimmered faintly.

There was a blush on her cheeks, and she didn't know if it was because of the alcohol or if it was ......

"What time is it, dog?" Shen Jie asked Xiao Yao.

The bar owner pointed to the wall clock on the wall.

"Damn, it's so late," Shen Jie snorted wine as she spoke: "Will your grandma die in a hurry?" ”

"It's okay, I've already called her." Xiao Yao said.

Refers to being called by her.

"The slanting rain falls slanting on the glass window,

The yellow leaves withered and yellowed on the windowsill;

A young man with an umbrella on his back,

He walked through the curtain of rain and cast his gaze......"

The ballad began to play again in the bar.

"You like to be short and tight, too?" Xiao Yao asked the bar owner.

"Dogs? Where did you go out during the intermission? Shen Jie asked inarticulately, "And came back in the rain?" ”

And all those who passed by looked at him,

But he played a harmonica;

Goodbye, that melody is vaguely singing......"

"It's nothing," Xiao Yao replied vaguely: "I just feel tightness in my chest, go out to take a breath, and take a walk." ”

He didn't want Shen Jie to know what had just happened, first, he couldn't be sure that it was 100% Zhang Zhengkai, and secondly, he mainly didn't want Shen Jie to worry.

Mother Meow's mood is bad enough, so why worry her about one more thing?

"Boss, you tell me the truth." Shen Jie began to question the bar owner again.

The boss looked at Xiao Yao and then at Shen Jie, with a hesitant look on his face.

Shen Jie turned her head and began to ask Xiao Yao again, but Xiao Yao gritted her teeth and resolutely refused to say anything, so that Shen Jie lost her temper and began to slap him with her palm.

That's right.

Xiao Yao reacted at this time, is it not appropriate to drink alcohol during the period of the eldest aunt?

Completely forgot about this stubble, why did Yu Luying agree to drink it herself?

"Is he or not?" Shen Jie asked coldly: "He secretly followed you and was seen by you, so you chased you out, yes or no?" ”

Shen Jie's cleverness and wit startled Xiao Yao, he didn't speak, but the expression written on the young man's face had already betrayed the answer to the girl.

"I knew it!" Shen Jie said angrily: "What is there to hide from me? ”

"I ...... I'm just afraid you're worried. Xiao Yao hesitated and said honestly: "And I didn't catch him, and I'm not sure it must be him." ”

"His junior high school student's small arms and legs, and he is not good at exercise, can you still catch up with him?" Shen Jie complained.

"I ......," Xiao Yao said.

"I should have thought that this was something he had done," Shen Jie said hatefully, "It's not enough to hurt me like this, and you still refuse to let me go?" - I really want to kill him alive. ”

"Uh, don't do that." Xiao Yao reassured: "He's just ...... I can't let you go. ”

Shen Jie's eyebrows rose suddenly: "Xiao Yao, which side are you on?" Are you my man? ”

"No," Xiao Yao said, "Ah no, I didn't mean no, I meant ......"

"Forgive me for the poetry and amorous things of my youth,

Forgive me for my incoherent admonitions;

Forgive me for my youthful poetry and style,

Forgive me for my incoherent admonitions......" Jing Feng's singing still echoed in the bar.

Xiao Yao's mobile phone rang again at this moment.

"Hey, grandma, we'll be back soon," Xiao Yao said, "It's raining too much, we're waiting for the rain to light up!" ”

"I'm not a grandmother, I'm a father." Yu Bo's voice said, "You haven't come home so late, where are you?" ”

"Rely on Brother Bo," Xiao Yao exclaimed, "Didn't you tell me that you weren't allowed to call you again after 10 o'clock in the evening?" ”

"You are not allowed to call me, I can call you." Yu Bo said domineeringly.

"Okay," Xiao Yao said, "What's wrong?" ”

"This is a game that the national football team shouldn't have won, right?" Yu Bo went straight to the point and went straight to the point: "I remember you talked to me once. ”

"Is there one? Do I have one? Xiao Yao said, "I don't remember." ”

"Answer me." Yu Bo said.

"Uh, what? Originally...... Originally...... It was indeed ...... Uh......" Xiao Yao lowered his voice and said, "The score on the other side - have I really talked to you?" ”

"Did you watch TV?" Yu Bo said: "Said Kamil is dead. ”

"What kind of de? What kind of rice is Ka? Xiao Yao said.

"Said Kamil, the referee of this match, just died." Yu Bo said.
