166、What if you have a black whistle?
"drop!"
A sharp whistle blew through the sky above the court.
More than 30,000 Qatari fans made even louder noises.
On the edge of the Chinese team's penalty area, referee Jin Dongjin raised a bright red plastic card to goalkeeper Zeng Cheng!
Gao Hongbo stood on the sidelines. His eyes had never been so wide open, and his face showed an incredible expression.
“This is an absolutely clean tackle!”
Assistant coaches Fu Bo and Ou Chuliang held the fourth official, but the Korean refused to make a statement without expression.
"Black Whistle!"
Looking at the replay action, such a word popped up in the minds of all Chinese fans.
Less than ten minutes into the second half, the Qatar striker decisively dived without any hope of controlling the football!
Zeng Cheng used a sliding shovel to clear the ball, but his toes did not touch his opponent at all!
The referee, who was so close to him, closed his eyes and raised his most powerful weapon and sent the substitute goalkeeper out of the field!
Plus a penalty!
Just two minutes ago, Rong Hao was knocked down by the opponent in the middle when he was receiving the ball from the left, but the referee didn't even have a yellow card...
In addition, Qu Bo's previous breakthrough and falling down were blown up and yellow cards, everyone understood that Qatar should use its host's advantages to do something...
The main goalkeeper Yang Zhi rushed to the court, and he replaced Qu Bo, and the Qatari player who took the penalty kick scored in one shot, narrowing the score to a ball gap.
In the following time, the South Korean referee team almost became Qatar's dog, turning a blind eye to the host's foul, but he wanted to put all the Chinese team's movements under a microscope to observe clearly...
In the passive situation of one less player fighting, the Chinese team could only focus on steady defense. Zhao Xuri replaced Yang Xu, and Gao Hongbo simply removed the only forward in the seal and chose to strengthen the defense.
Seeing that the Chinese team had no striker, Qatar's offense became increasingly unscrupulous, while the pressure on the Chinese team suddenly increased.
The Chinese team fought 11 against 11. Under the threat of Qatar's home advantage, the whole team could only try their best to defend, but Gao Hongbo now only had the last substitution quota left in his hand, so he didn't dare to use it anymore. He could only watch his players block the defense everywhere and ran away.
Time passes by minute by minute, Qatar's offensive is stronger than another, and the Chinese team's defense line seems to have collapsed to the limit, and it may break at any time!
Long Shute had already retreated from the offensive midfield position. He retreated further than Zhao Junzhe and Zheng Zhi. In order to reduce the pressure on his teammates, he almost regarded the entire half as his own defensive area. His feet did not stop for a moment. Wherever the ball was, he would definitely rush over to help press, which would make the Qatar players lose the opportunity to observe and think carefully.
But even so, Zheng Zhi, Zhang Linpeng, Hao Junmin, Li Weifeng, and Long Shute all received yellow cards in a row. In addition, Qu Bo who was replaced and Zeng Cheng who left the game with a red card, seven players of the Chinese team actually received red yellow cards, and the Korean referee's hands were almost exhausted and cramped...
"This period of the second half seems to have been very slow. Qatar has always held the ball in these twenty minutes. The ball possession rate of both sides has changed from 50 to 50 in the first half to the current 73rd opening. The Chinese team has worked very hard to defend..."
Duan Yixuan sighed because he knew in his heart that the Chinese team had always had the routine of black three minutes, black ten minutes, and black second half. Now they played one less player, and they had no physical advantage. If they were not careful, they might collapse in the next second!
"Yes," Zhang Lu's expression was also extremely solemn. "In addition to one less person fighting, many Chinese players, including Long Shute, have been stained with yellow cards. In addition, the referee's judgment standard has always been unfavorable. We are very passive now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Weifeng fell to the ground: he twisted his ankle when he was fighting for a high ball to land, and his ankles were suddenly red and swollen, and it was impossible for him to hold on for a second.
Everyone's heart suddenly sank: This is the 81st minute, and the black is coming in ten minutes?
Gao Hongbo was a little ignorant, and his eyes seemed to be full of figures. He wasn't nervous because the players were not warming up enough, but he really didn't know who should be on the court!
The candidates for the central defender include Zhao Peng and Dewey, but who can be sure to protect the last ten minutes?
He suddenly felt a hot wind blowing on his face.
This is a very young face, covered with crystal sweat:
"Guide Gao, I have a suggestion to go to Yang Hao and let Zhang Linpeng change to the central defender."
Long Shute knew that it was definitely a taboo for the players to openly interfere with the head coach's tactical adjustment, but he still did so.
Gao Hongbo narrowed his eyes, and no one could see what kind of emotions contained in those two gazes.
Yang Hao... was also a confidant disciple who brought him into the national team himself. What's the use of letting him play?
Li Weifeng came out, Zhang Linpeng moved to his original position, and Yang Hao, who was newly on the field, served as the right back, and the Chinese team replaced fresh blood, but Qatar did not give up hope: they used the last substitution quota on the forward, and even if they replaced a defender, they didn't care.
Time is getting faster and faster, and Qatar's offensive is getting stronger and stronger. They reached their peak in the 89th minute of regular time. In addition to a defender, even goalkeeper Burkhan rushed into the Chinese team's penalty area and prepared to compete for the last corner kick.
Only by tied, Qatar could he keep his last hope of promotion, and they had to go all out.
The corner kick was rubbed high and flew towards the penalty area with a spin. Long Shute, who was only 1.78 meters tall, had no advantage in fighting for the header, but he still stood at the back point and involved a Qatar midfielder in his own way.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound came from the crowd. As the players on both sides intertwined, no one could see who was the first to meet the football.
Long Shute didn't see clearly, but he saw the football flying out of the penalty area.
Without any thought, he was like a sharp arrow shooting out!
His legs still have strength!
He appeared at the landing point of the football before everyone!
"Dragon...special?!"
Duan Yixuan exclaimed, and Zhang Lu almost dropped his glasses.
"Can he run? How could he still have the energy to sprint like this?"
In the vast field, everyone's legs were as heavy as lead, and they could only watch the red backs swept across the earth like a strong wind.
Qatari goalkeeper Burkhan fell directly into the Chinese team's penalty area, and he would never catch up with such an opponent!
A large amount of white air spurted out from the Chinese captain's nasal cavity.
His chest was undulating violently.
Sweat rushed out of the pores of the body frantically.
In order to relieve his teammates' defensive pressure, he consumed too much energy in the second half.
He has reached his limit.
But he still didn't stop.
He dribbled the ball across the center line, and most of the court was empty.
No one can catch up with him!
The moment he brought the football into the goal, the entire court fell into silence.
Even the live broadcast speakers were silent.
3-1!
Their host... was eliminated by the Chinese team!
Chapter completed!
