Vol 4 Chapter 38: a fly in the ointment

When Tang Zheng's football hit the snowy white net, Bernan Bugo appeared briefly silent in the state arena, but after a second, a loud deafening loud voice resounded through the audience, and the mountain called a tsunami.
Tang Zheng, who scored a goal, became especially crazy in the maddening atmosphere. He pushed away the Costa Rican central defender Gonzalez, who also pulled his right hand, opened his arms, and ran all the way to the middle of the vice-stand just opposite the camera.
There, family and friends with Chinese players, also known as cheering groups.
Tang Zheng opened his strong arms and hugged Mom and Dad and Zhao Lina together, feeling the great joy of the national team scoring two goals in three minutes.
Other Chinese players who swarmed behind hugged one after another, and at the same time, the huge cheers burst out hysterically in cooperation with the sky, including the substitute players across the entire stadium, also fell into endless carnival.
Chinese fans who are far away from thousands of miles, they shouted their arms for the first time, screaming in the sky.
In many urban communities, bars, supper stalls, and Internet cafes, the same picture is staged. Some people are puzzled or even disgusted, but they do n’t care, because as Chinese fans, they can finally raise their eyebrows and do n’t worry about friends and relatives. Make complaints.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was on a holiday in a holiday resort, looked at the especially crazy Tang Zheng in the broadcast. He was surprised and more envious. He couldn't help but think that if he led the national team to the top 16 and then again 1/8 final opponent.
That feeling may be great!
In the room of the National Down Hotel in Colombia, Hames Rodriguez and Falcao looked at each other. They thought that Tang Zheng would help the Chinese team to overtake the score before the injury stoppage time, but it was only thought of, not absolute.
More importantly, the calmness in front of Tang Zheng's door was beyond imagination. Two shots were made in a row, and the third foot was only used to finish the door, which deceived the world.
Even Falcao, who has scored so many goals in recent seasons, has not been so calm, so he is amazed by Tang Zheng's calmness, especially when the game is in the end of injury time.
The coach of the Chinese team Lippi has a long coaching career and very rich coaching experience. He also led the Italian national team to the World Cup championship, but coaching the Chinese team can be said to be a new challenge in the coaching career.
Sun Jingbo pushed the empty goal to equalize the score. He can also use the amazing psychological qualities to keep the surface calm. As Tang Zheng equalized the score, the long-time passion in the body broke through the limit and swept the whole body.
Lippi, who is over 60 years old, is like leading the Italian national team to win the World Cup championship eight years ago. With open arms, he hugged his assistants Madaloni and Li Tie excitedly, and then shouted his arms to vent the huge pleasure of overtaking the score. .
The fanatical atmosphere over the Pernambuco Arena continues to soar, and every Chinese fan bursts out of his own maximum energy, with waves of cheers rising higher than waves.
Coupled with the red flag fluttering in the stands, it gives people a sense of sight of the red and happy ocean,
The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV or computer looked particularly proud. On the top stage of the World Cup, they can finally see the most shining flag.
The voice of Yang Wei's commentator, He Wei, has become apparently hoarse, but he didn't care. Instead, his passionate arms shouted: "This is destined to be a day worth remembering! Although the game has nearly a minute of injury time, I firmly believe that the quarterfinals ultimately belong to the Chinese team! "
At the same time, the Costa Rican national television narrator appeared particularly depressed. He felt the maddening atmosphere and then listened to the passionate commentary of his surrounding colleagues. He didn't say a word for a long time.
As a national football commentator, his qualities are extraordinary, he took a deep breath, and then said: "We still have time, there is still a chance to equalize the score, come on! Heroes of the country!"
But to say this, he didn't even believe it, let alone the Costa Rican fans in front of the TV?
I thought that the group's first qualifying match against the Chinese team could make history and advance to the World Cup quarterfinals, and the score was ahead for a long time, but two goals in injury time and stoppage time, overtake the score in one fell swoop.
In particular, Tang Zheng's goal of overtaking the score was a blow to morale.
※※※
The close-up footage of the live guide did not forget to give the disappointed Costa Rican players, like the goalkeeper Navas, the striker Campbell, and the midfielder Ruiz, who performed very well in this game.
Their facial expressions all reveal two words-disappointment.
I thought the game could end with 1: 0 and then advance to the quarterfinals of this World Cup.
But Tang Zheng's offensive planning and scoring during injury stoppage time pushed them off the cliff.
Head coach Pinto Muna is standing in place, he is still thinking about the last minute injury stoppage time to use the last substitution adjustment, reasonable consumption of game time, drag the game into overtime.
Less than a minute before injury stoppage time, Tang Zheng used an opportunity that was not an opportunity to overtake the score.
This kind of blow is unacceptable.
The Chinese fans in the Pernambuco Arena are very hard-working, and there has been a continuous outcry of loud voices, and even many fans have hoarse throats and continue to shout, cheering for the overtaking Chinese team.
The Chinese players on the court and the substitute players who crossed the entire court were together, venting the joy of overtaking the goal.
The World Cup quarter-finals, they did think of it, but when it is really possible, it is another matter.
Just like a hanging silk often yy will get the intimacy of the goddess, all kinds of initiative to give arms, but the mood when the real goddess gives arms, can not be described by words.
The Costa Rican players were in a low mood and were not dissatisfied with the celebration of the Chinese team's overtaking goal, because they had realized that it was very difficult to equalize again.
Not to mention that the team plays one less, the biggest problem Costa Rica faces is lack of time.
Time elapsed from one second to one second, and now less than half a minute is left.
How easy is it to equalize the score?
The Chinese team ’s celebration goal is still in progress. Costa Rican players did not complain to the referee Eriksson. Instead, the referee Eriksson was dissatisfied with the Chinese team ’s celebration of the game for too long. He jogged over and said that the Chinese team celebrated the time Too long ...
The Chinese fans in the stands were obviously very dissatisfied with Erickson ’s behavior, and ignored some of the previous penalties in favor of the Chinese team. They opened their voices and exploded into a huge boo for the head referee Erikson: "Woo Woo
Feeling the rushing booing sound, Eriksson was helpless, but this was the lovely fan.
no way.
"Are you still replacing?"
At the same time, Costa Rica assistant coach Joao looked at Pinto and asked.
Pinto's eyes were muddled, apparently he hadn't recovered from the blow. He looked at the player without confidence and shook his head: "At this time in the game, the substitution has returned to the sky. Brazil World Cup should tell us the end Now! "
Campbell stepped on the football, waiting for the referee Eriksson's whistle. Tang Zheng took advantage of this gap to look around and shouted to his teammates: "The game is not completely over yet, we must maintain sufficient attention to the game. Keep the score until the end of the game! Do you understand? "
"understand!!"
Even though the stadium was loud, Tang Zheng's voice was loud enough, and most of his teammates heard clearly, so he responded in unison.
"Beep ~"
The referee Eriksson blew his whistle and signaled the game to restart.
Campbell handed the football to Ruiz. The latter habitually passed it back to Cuvelo. Gao Lin was fierce and violently rushing. Cuvelo had not lost the ball from the team. He subconsciously kicked the football frontcourt.
Although Costa Rica was behind, Cuvelo's handling of the ball was obviously too hasty. Campbell and the two full-backs didn't get to the position. The football control was directly changed, and the Chinese team was transferred from the defense.
At this time, the game time has reached 94 minutes, which means that the injury stoppage time has arrived at four minutes, so the Chinese team coach Lippi walks to the fourth official, pointing his right hand to the watch worn by his left hand while questioning the duty leader Why did referee Eriksson not sound the whistle at the end of the game.
The Chinese fans in the stands who were waiting for their whistle to enter the field couldn't help but feel excited, sucking up their breath and blowing hard.
After receiving the football, Wu Xi really thought it was the referee who blew his whistle and excitedly raised his arms to celebrate the end of the game and advance to the World Cup quarterfinals.
Others like Li Xue, Ren Hang and Jiang Zhipeng thought the game was over, but ... the referee Eriksson did not raise his arms, which means the game is not over!
Tang Zheng saw Campbell quickly approaching Wu Xi who had not handled the ball, and subconsciously shouted: "Wu Xi, be careful!"
"The game is not over! It's a wild whistle !!"
Yang Wei, the 5 commentator, exclaimed suddenly.
Wu Xi's tight nerves had just relaxed, and it was too late to think about the tightness in a short time. His stretched foot did not kick the football, and the football was taken by Campbell.
Suddenly, the depressed Costa Rican fans seemed to see the last life-saving straw, bursting with great energy: "Aoaoaoao"
Costa Rica head coach Pinto, who was ready to give up the game, heard a high voice from the stands and looked at the stadium. He saw Campbell successfully intercepted the ball and killed the Chinese team to defend the hinterland.
Everyone will have a chance, and Pinto will do the same.
But at the next moment, the loud voice made by Costa Rican fans came to an abrupt end.
Zheng Zhi, the captain of the Chinese team, was very focused and was not disturbed by the wild whistle. He noticed that Wu Xi was consciously approaching when he was distracted.
as predicted!
Campbell steals the ball and prepares to drive straight into it!
Zheng Zhi did not hesitate and chose to shovel down the ground. Campbell kicked the ball in advance and then jumped to hide, but Jiang was still old and spicy. Zheng Zhi shoveled out of the ground had a follow-up action to lift his right foot, Then he stumbled over Campbell.
The referee on duty Eriksson stood not far away, blew his whistle decisively, and gave Zheng Zhi a yellow card.
Seeing this, Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team, raised his eyebrows. If the Chinese team eventually advanced to the quarterfinals, Zheng Zhi's yellow card can be said to be the most unacceptable result of the game.
Because Zheng Zhi had a yellow card in the group stage, that is to say, if the Chinese team successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, then he will accumulate two yellow cards missed the quarter-finals.
Wu Xi is responsible for losing the ball, but he does not know that the captain Zheng Zhi has suspended two yellow cards, so he simply waved his hand and apologized.
Tang Zheng has a strong reading ability in the game, and has a lot of attention outside the game. He knows that captain Zheng Zhi is likely to bid farewell to the World Cup.
This farewell is not temporary, but permanent!
Zheng Zhi is already 34 years old this year, and after four years the World Cup in Russia will be 38 years old.
The 34-year-old professional player basically counts as he has reached the end of his career, and it would be easier to extend it for another four years.
Even if Zheng Zhi insists on playing at the age of thirty-eight, the decline in physical fitness is bound to be obvious. Not to mention the top tournaments such as the World Cup, even the Super League is difficult to compete with young players for the main force.
So Tang Zheng meaningfully patted Zheng Zhi's shoulder twice to show his comfort.
Perhaps Zheng Zhi understood Tang Zheng's meaning, and he smiled.
In fact, it is enough for Zheng Zhi to be able to participate in the Brazil World Cup as the captain, but also entered the knockout, and now has basically advanced to the quarterfinals.
Is there anything regrettable in my career?
Therefore, Zheng Zhi, who is experienced in the game, urged referee Eriksson to sound the end of the game. After all, the time is close to ninety-five minutes ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Chinese players retreat to half-time defense, central 5 commentary Member He Weicai noticed Zheng Zhi ’s yellow card and frowned:
If the Chinese team can finally advance to the quarterfinals, the most regrettable thing is the captain Zheng Zhi ’s yellow card, he will miss the quarter-finals facing the uncrowned king Holland. War! "
The Chinese fans in the stands still do not know what Zheng Zhi ’s yellow card means. They only know that Zheng Zhi ’s timely foul hindered a very threatening high counterattack in Costa Rica, which is worthy of praise!
Costa Rica won a free kick opportunity near the Chinese team's half-circle arc, and goalkeeper Navas came to the Chinese team's penalty zone to prepare for the final chance.
It is a pity that the free kick is too far from the goal, and the demand for the penalty kick defender Dias is too high. His long-range free kick is high and fluttering. The Chinese team goalkeeper Yan Junling is quite decisive. The ball is firmly in his arms.
As time went by, the Chinese fans in the stands were obviously extremely dissatisfied with the referee Eriksson, and a huge boos broke out again, questioning why he had not sounded the end of the match whistle.
Coach Lippi also roared towards the fourth official again, complaining to Erikson.
Perhaps it was influenced by the Chinese fans and Lippi in the stands, or suddenly remembered that the game time exceeded the stoppage time, and finally sounded when Yan Junling kicked the ball to Costa Rica halfway.
Two short and one long.
"Beep ~ beep ~ beep ~~"
At the same time, He Wei, the Yang 5 commentator, supported the commentary with his hands, shouting almost crazy, completely ignoring his hoarse voice: "The game is over! The game is over! The Chinese team scored two goals in three minutes with stoppage time. The score! 2: 1 defeat Costa Rica! Become the fourth team to advance to the quarterfinals of this World Cup! Long live! In the quarter-finals, we will welcome the uncrowned king of the Netherlands at the new water source stadium in El Salvador! "
