CHAPTER 18 TIT FOR TIT
Seeing Sun Pan falling to the ground with his face covering his face, Chi Dongyuan was stunned for a moment. Sun Pan's reaction surprised him, and then he heard a hurried and harsh whistle.
He turned his head and saw referee Roaldan rushing towards him.
At that moment, Chi Dongyuan's brain finally reacted. He pointed at Sun Pan and shouted to the referee: "He pretended to fall!!"
At this time, Zhou Yi and his teammates of the National Olympic Team also rushed to the referee, pointing at Sun Pan, who fell to the ground with his face covering his face and complained to the referee: "This is a very bad revenge move!"
The Korean players also rushed into the penalty area to defend their teammate Chi Dong-won, pointing at Sun Pan and shouting: "He pretended to fall!"
"He was the one who provoked first!"
The captain of the Korean team, Ji Chengyong, squeezed into the referee's face, protected Chi Dong-won behind him, and explained to the referee in English: "...He did not mean it, but the opponent's goalkeeper provoked first, he just wanted to push him away..."
In fact, he knew very well what Chi Dongyuan's move meant. One thing Chinese players said is right that this is a retaliatory move.
In football rules, this kind of retaliatory action is very strict.
Think about how Beckham, who was young and energetic, was sent off? Logically speaking, Simeone made a foul first, but Beckham just lying on the ground to vent his emotions, kicked Simeone retaliatedly. That kick was not very powerful. Simeone's fall was very exaggerated, but in the end, Beckham was shown a yellow card, and he was sent off for two yellow cards...
What Ji Chengyong was most worried about was that Chi Dongyuan also received a yellow card because of this action.
Because five minutes ago, Chi Dongyuan received a yellow card for his provocative celebration after the goal. If he got another yellow card, he would be sent off!
This is something he doesn't want to happen anyway.
The Chinese team is also very clear about the interests here, so they keep putting pressure on the referee.
He Ying, who played football in Spain, directly communicated with Colombian referee Roaldan in Spanish, and repeatedly emphasized to him how bad Chi Dongyuan's action was.
Yes, the nature is bad. It has nothing to do with the amplitude of the action, nor has it to do with the damage caused to Sun Pan. Even if the biggest injury on Sun Pan's body was because of the flaw he fell to the ground, it would not affect the harsh nature of Chi Dongyuan's action!
The Chinese team tried their best to sentence Chi Dongyuan to death, but the South Korean team was determined to protect Chi Dongyuan.
What about Chi Dongyuan? He was trying hard to break free from his teammates' obstacles and wanted to find Sun Pan to "explain it clearly". He roared at Sun Pan: "Liar! Shameless villain who pretends to fall! Despicable!!"
Judging from his excited appearance, it was as if no one would hold him back, he would be able to ride on Sun Pan and beat Sun Pan to death...
※※※
"Hey?!" He Ping exclaimed when Chi Dongyuan pushed Zhou Yi down. "Chi Dongyuan's move is too uneasy! No matter what, how can he push people! This is a very bad action. I believe the referee Roaldan will not fail to see it!"
He Ping was condemning Chi Dongyuan on his mouth, but he shouted in his heart, "Well push!"
The Korean commentator also realized the seriousness of the problem, and he kept screaming: "Oh! Chi Dong-won! This is too rash! This is under the referee's nose!"
※※※
The referee blew whistles to disperse the Chinese and Korean players surrounding him, and at some point he had already held a yellow card in his hand.
But should this yellow card be given to Sun Pan, be ordered to fake falls, or be ordered to Chi Dongyuan?
After the crowd dispersed slightly, Roaldan took a step forward and came to Chi Dongyuan. This action had already explained everything.
If nothing unexpected happens...
Sure enough, in front of Chi Dongyuan, Roaldan raised his arm holding the yellow card high!
"Yellow card! Chi Dongyuan received his second yellow card in this game!" He Ping said excitedly, almost laughing.
At this time, Chi Dongyuan didn't care about going to settle the score with Sun Pan, but stared at the referee with wide eyes and incredibly.
After Roaldan finished showing off his yellow card, he took out a red card from his chest pocket and did not make the low-level mistake of forgetting to get a red card.
He gave this "Ruby God of War Card" to Chi Dongyuan!
"Two yellows turn into one red! Chi Dongyuan was sent off!" He Ping announced excitedly. "The Korean team lost a penalty and was sent off one person. It was really a mess!" His words were filled with gloating tone.
"Chi Dongyuan is too impulsive! He paid the price for his young recklessness!" In addition to criticizing Chi Dongyuan, the Korean commentator changed his tone and criticized Sun Pan. "But Chinese players' unsports and moral actions are the root of all this! We can clearly see from slow motion that Chi Dongyuan just pushed Sun Pan's chest, but Sun Pan covered his face and fell to the ground. This action was really too bad. This was undoubtedly a fake fall! It was simply moral corruption! The Chinese people are so good at acting, why are their country still the world of our Korean dramas?"
At this time, the indignant Korean commentator automatically blocked the fact that Chi Dong-won's penalty kick was cheated by fake falls...
※※※
Sun Pan, who was lying on the ground with his face covering his face, saw the referee showing Chi Dongyuan a yellow card through the cracks of his fingers, and immediately took his hand off his face, and turned over and sat up to achieve the goal. There was no need for him to continue lying on the ground.
However, he did not escape punishment. He was also given a yellow card by referee Roaldan. Of course, this yellow card was not because of his fake fall, but because of his provocation in front of Chi Dongyuan after saving the penalty kick.
But he is different from Chi Dong-won. This is just his first yellow card in this game. He can continue to stay on the court. No matter how unwilling Chi Dong-won is, he can only leave the court. If he continues to make trouble, it will have more disastrous consequences for him and the Korean Olympic team.
Ji Chengyong persuaded Chi Dongyuan to leave the stadium. At this time, Chi Dongyuan already knew how great trouble his impulse had caused to the team. He apologized to Ji Chengyong in tears.
Ji Chengyong patted his shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, you should do your best, don't blame yourself."
That's it, but everyone understands that if the South Korean team is eliminated, then the blame will most likely be on Chi Dong-won...
※※※
Ji Dong-won was sent off, and South Korea lost one person, the score was still tied 1:1, and the Korean team's second penalty was not scored. Each of these things was a huge blow to the morale of the Koreans, and now they are all together.
When the game started again, although the South Korean team received a corner kick, the corner kick did not pose any threat to Sun Pan. The ball they kicked was confiscated directly over the penalty area by Sun Pan.
Next, until the end of the first half, the Korean team was in a daze and was defeated by the Chinese team.
If it weren't for the time left, their goal might have been broken before the end of the first half.
When the referee Roaldan blew the whistle at the end of the first half, He Ping said: "Raldan saved the Korean team, and this fifteen-minute halftime break will give them a good breath. I think the Korean team, which is one less, should unify their thinking and defend with all their strength. If they can drag the penalty kick to the final victory, their chances of winning may be higher..."
At the end of the first half, the Chinese team players got together and came out. Zhou Yi said to Sun Pan: "Look, it was correct that I pulled you down and didn't let you go directly to have a conflict with that Chi Dongyuan? Otherwise, if you get a yellow card in the first conflict, it would be impossible for this incident."
Sun Pan curled his lips: "Talk, could you think of you getting a penalty kick so quickly at that time? It was clear that I had outstanding ability to adapt to the situation!"
"What's the unexpected thing?" Zhou Yi spread his hands. "Did you forget the World Cup in Japan and South Korea? What's the matter with two penalty kicks in five minutes compared to that World Cup?"
After hearing Zhou Yi say this, Sun Pan was stunned, and then he could only say unwillingly: "Damn! What you said makes sense, I was speechless..."
The Chinese players around him laughed when they heard the conversation between the two.
In the TV broadcast, the Chinese players were in a good mood and walked off the court with a chat and laugh, forming a sharp contrast with the depressed Korean players.
In the eyes of Korean fans, this scene may only show the shamelessness and despicability of Chinese players. After they used disgraceful means to make Chi Dongyuan laugh so happily, they now have such an ugly face!
But who cares about their thoughts? Even if they greet all the 18 generations of Chinese ancestors in front of the TV, it will not change the reality that Chi Dongyuan was sent off and the penalty kick was thrown... (~^~)
