Chapter 28 The funniest red card (big chapter continues(1/2)
Home fans have used silence to protest their team's incompetence. If they can't win with such a home whistle, then what conditions can they win?
The Kuwaiti players also felt that they could not even win such a game, and they might not be able to face their hometown brothers again after the game.
After the game restarted, the Kuwaiti team launched another fierce attack.
But the problem is that they cannot take advantage in the midfield. The Kuwait team does not have a master of organization or passing. It is difficult for them to break through the Chinese team's defense in the midfield battle.
Especially after the Chinese team took the lead again, even Wu Jie returned to the midfield to help defend.
His defensive ability cannot be underestimated, and he made several wonderful interceptions and steals in the first half.
This is what he has gained from more than 600 high-intensity games. His ability to read the game is not limited to offense. He is also very good at observing the opponent's passing line when defending. He can always move quickly in advance and catch the opponent's pass at the moment.
Complete the interception and then directly launch a counterattack.
In the 64th minute, the Kuwaiti midfielder's pass was successfully predicted by Wu Jie. He was caught off guard and directly intercepted the ball to complete the counterattack.
This time, if Wu Jie had not been able to aim at the right angle to avoid the opponent's flying tackle, the Chinese team would have scored two goals in ten minutes.
After that, the Kuwait team did not dare to pass the ball easily under Wu Jie's defensive coverage. The Chinese team, with one less player on the field, magically took control of the middle.
Wu Jie's performance once again amazed European scouts. In this Asian Cup, he has shown the ability to play in three positions: forward, offensive midfielder, and defensive midfielder, in addition to not playing as a central defender in the backcourt.
This is completely an all-around "frontcourt free agent".
The Chinese team relied on its effective control in the midfield to let the game time pass minute by minute.
As long as the Kuwait team rushes to attack, they will immediately feel a chill in their butt!
In the 74th minute, the Kuwaiti team finally launched a successful offensive and completed the shot, but the football was pocketed by Lu Jianren who reacted quickly.
Wu Jie is familiar with the short goalkeeper because Lu Jianren is his teammate in the Beijing team.
He is characterized by extremely quick reactions, agile movements, and is good at catching high-speed balls.
If the position of goalkeeper is not easily replaced, the replacement of old and new goalkeepers usually takes place after the goalkeeper's condition declines. At this time, Lu Jianren's ability is not inferior to that of Li Fusheng.
The outstanding performance of this substitute goalkeeper allowed the Chinese team to be more proactive in their defensive counterattack tactics. After the Kuwaiti team's offensive failed, the naturally lazy attitude of the West Asians broke out again.
The Kuwaitis are always slow to react when they switch from offense to defense, and their physical strength drops even more seriously at this point in the game. Only a few players in the team return to defense immediately.
The Chinese team seized this opportunity. After Wu Jie took the ball, he immediately distributed it to the wing. After receiving the ball, Gu Guangming leaned forward and the Chinese team began to counterattack.
Kuwait's retreat was obviously not fast enough, and the Chinese players' physical strength was almost at the bottom, but this time they still used all their strength to launch a counterattack.
At this point in the second half, the physical strength of both sides has dropped to a critical point. It depends on who has stronger willpower and who usually trains harder.
Gu Guangming also gritted his teeth and persisted. He once again showed a high-speed change of direction in this counterattack, and the Kuwaiti players failed to stop him even though they tried to tackle him.
This made the home audience so frightened that they did not dare to breathe. They had already seen Wu Jie in the center and Shen Xiangfu on the left rushing forward, like three arrows shooting towards the Kuwait half.
But at this moment, only three Kuwaiti players returned to defense in time. This was a dangerous 3v3 quick counterattack in the frontcourt!
After Wu Jie crossed the half-court, he immediately showed his late-stage acceleration ability that made the Kuwaitis desperate. At this time, it was difficult for everyone to continue sprinting at full speed after running through the midfield. However, Wu Jie did not slow down at all after running through the midfield and directly passed the ball. The defensive player next to him passed him.
Now, the disadvantage of 3-on-3 instantly turned into 3-on-2, and the word "danger" appeared on all the heads of the Kuwaiti players!
Gu Guangming originally wanted to advance with the ball by himself, but suddenly he heard a shout from Wu Jie in the middle, and when he turned his head, he was almost parallel to him.
This made him immediately give up the idea of pushing forward, and immediately pushed the ball in front of Wu Jie.
When Gu Guangming passed the ball, he and Wu Jie were still three positions apart, which made it difficult for the linesman to raise the flag in his hand. He did not sell his career like the referee.
After Wu Jie got the ball, he quickly left everyone behind. The Kuwaiti goalkeeper could only take the initiative. However, facing a monster who could still make a pendulum pass while dribbling the ball at high speed, he could only do it before he was shaken off his center of gravity. Make anticipatory saves.
But this method is ineffective for "pendulum pass" because even if he predicts the right direction, Wu Jie can immediately change the direction of the pass.
The biggest enemies of this single sword technique are only the knees and ankles, but this shortcoming is exactly made up for by his badge.
The Kuwaitis couldn't bear to watch the scene after this, because there was no defensive barrier in front of the goal. Unless Wu Jie jumped in, the scoreboard would soon become 3:1.
Of course, Wu Jie couldn't pounce. After passing the goalkeeper with his signature passing move, he easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.
The ball went in!!!
The coaching bench of the Chinese team was empty, but there was a burst of cheers from the bench!
At this moment, the entire "Ahmed Stadium" was filled with only the lamentations of the Kuwaitis, and everyone was holding their heads with expressions of extreme frustration!
Wu Jie, who scored another hat trick in this game, did not perform any controversial celebrations after scoring this time.
He just turned around and walked back very calmly, and raised his hand to signal to his teammates that they did not have to come up to celebrate. The expression on his face was as if he had accomplished a trivial task!
This action and expression are actually more pretentious. Who are you looking down on?
But this goal really killed the suspense of the game. As long as the Chinese team retreated across the board, it would be almost impossible for the Kuwaitis to score two goals in a row to equalize the score in twenty minutes.
At this time, a dramatic scene occurred on the field. Just after Wu Jie completed a wonderful long-distance run and used his signature "pendulum pass" to score a goal, even the Soviet referee could only indicate that the goal was valid. The TV broadcast and All the subtitles on the live scoreboard showed that the score was 3-1.
But the Kuwaiti players did not want their huge bonuses to go to waste, so they shamelessly protested to the Soviet referee.
They said that they heard the "wild whistle" from the fans in the stands just at the moment of defense, and mistook the whistle for the referee's whistle, so most of them did not start to defend.
This excuse is completely unreasonable. Today is Kuwait’s home court and the stadium is full of Kuwaiti fans. How could a “wild whistle” come from under such circumstances?
Even if there is a "wild whistle", it is the fault of the home fans, so why should they protest?
The Soviet referee was overjoyed when he heard this. He only received 50% of the deposit before the game. At this moment, when he was worried about whether the money would be enough to go to the United States, the protests from the Kuwaiti players immediately gave him the opportunity to continue performing.
Of course he knew that the Kuwaiti players' excuse was very poor, but he still happily went along with it.
So after the entire Kuwaiti team protested and refused to kick off, the Soviet referee finally changed the decision and deemed the goal invalid!
Wu Jie looked confused, and the Chinese players were even more confused!
After a brief celebration, they all returned to their own half, waiting for the Kuwait team to kick off again.
But those West Asian guys were chattering around the referee, and just when they were about to start laughing, the number on the scoreboard actually changed.
It was still 3:1 just now, why did it change to 2:1 in a flash?
Wu Jie couldn't bear it anymore. He took the captain's armband that Rong Zhixing had given him before leaving the field and went straight to the referee to argue.
No one noticed at this time that after Wu Jie took over the captain's armband from Rong Zhixing, he created a new record as the youngest captain in the history of Chinese football!
"If you have any objections to my penalty, you can wait until after the game to complain, or leave the game now to protest!"
Of course the Soviet referee would not look down upon Wu Jie. He didn't care what would happen after the game. Now he just wanted to get the half of the money. Even if there were huge floods in the future, it would have nothing to do with him.
"Very good, we don't dare to have any objections, and no one can leave the venue to protest anymore!"
Wu Jie laughed angrily, raised his hands to applaud the sky, and retreated to the backcourt to explain to his teammates what happened.
When the Chinese players heard that the Kuwaitis had no shame, they all imitated Wu Jie and raised their hands to applaud.
They have no other way to protest, they just want to kill you!
You can either quit as a team or keep fighting!
But at this time, of course everyone must continue to fight!
Otherwise, wouldn’t the efforts of the first seventy minutes be in vain?
Just as Wu Jie said when he comforted his teammates just now, no matter whether they win or lose tonight's game, they have created an unprecedented game.
Because there is no darker game in the history of world football than this. They played a positive role in this game that is destined to be recorded in history. In fact, it has great positive significance for the country's image!
Therefore, the more Kuwaiti people go too far now, the longer the Chinese team will be sung in the future, and the more brilliant the color left will be!
Song Shixiong also said at this time: "The Kuwaiti team and the Soviet referees continued their poor performances, but let us applaud the young men who fought hard on the field. They still controlled themselves in a situation beyond their control and never gave up controlling themselves.
, This is the spirit of Chinese football and the Chinese spirit!"
These words were very popular with the big guys. The old man in front of the TV applauded. He knew that Chinese football had done a great job for China today.
Even if we lose this game, it is still better than using Kuwait's method to win ten championships.
It was difficult for the Kuwaiti players and the audience not to look embarrassed when faced with the ridicule of the Chinese players.
But they have no retreat. Since the game is out of control, they must at least win the game, right?
This is what the Kuwaiti players think, they just want to get the championship reward now!
The Soviet referee also wanted to get more compensation for his last game. He was the one on the field who wanted the Kuwaiti team to win the most.
This thought allowed the Kuwaiti players to shed the last bit of shame in the last twenty minutes. They began to flash their studs more frequently, and many tackles were aimed at unprotected ankles or knees.
In a normal game, this kind of action would be at least a yellow card if shown once, and it would definitely be a red card if it was tackled.
But now there is not even an ordinary foul, which makes the Chinese players have no choice but to hide from the Kuwaiti players. They can't resist the hard spikes with their flesh and blood.
The same goes for Wu Jie. No matter how good his skills are, it won't be of much use in this situation.
In the 82nd minute, the Kuwaiti player scared Wu Jie away with one move, and then stole the football from the feet of Asia's number one striker.
The Kuwait team immediately launched a counterattack, but the final shot was once again saved by Lu Jianren!
In the 85th minute, the Kuwait team once again took a shot, but this time Lu Jianren took the ball directly into his arms.
3 minutes later, the Kuwaiti forward once again found a chance to shoot, but this time in pursuit of an angle, the shot missed the goal post!
Although Lu Jianren conceded a goal after coming on the field, he obviously became more courageous as he entered the game.
In the last 20 minutes of the game, the Kuwait team took a total of 8 shots, 5 of which were on target, but all of them were blocked by Lu Jianren.
