Chapter 1976 Leave it to you, Lin Zhiyuan(1/3)
From the moment Pete Williams passed the ball directly to Gregg, the hearts of the Chinese fans were in their throats in the stands and in front of the TV, ready to pop out at any time.
When Pete Williams lobbed the empty goal in the end, there were fans on site who could boo and scream to interfere, but the Chinese fans in front of the TV were left stunned, and all their voices were blocked by that heart.
It's in my throat and I can't pronounce it.
Thousands of miles away, they could do nothing but watch the tragedy happen.
That feeling of powerlessness and despair is really uncomfortable.
The Chinese team’s journey to this World Cup seems to be coming to an end here:
Goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan is still on his way back, and he can't catch up with the ball no matter what.
Gao Ruimin tried very hard to block, but he didn't even get a chance to foul.
Although Wang Guangwei returned to the goal, he is a defender and not a goalkeeper. What else can he do...
What the fuck?!
Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at the figure flying in the air on the screen...
"Wang Guangwei!! He blocked the football on the goal line!"
After He Feng shouted, he fell into silence.
In the TV broadcast, there was only the noise and bustle of the scene, where there were boos and cheers.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV also watched the broadcast in silence.
※※※
He Feng in the commentary box looked at the court and was speechless.
He did not continue to cheer for Wang Guangwei because he clearly saw Wang Guangwei's action of blocking the football.
The monitor was right next to him, but he didn't look at it at the time. He just stared at the stadium commentary. Wang Guangwei's actions were very obvious. He could see clearly here, not to mention the referee who was so close. He could run away even if he wanted to.
Don't fall off.
He knew exactly what this action meant.
Although Wang Guangwei saved the ball, intentional handball will bring him a red card. In addition, the Chinese team will be sentenced to death and sentenced to a penalty kick!
Looking at it this way, Wang Guangwei may not have saved the Chinese team, but may have just delayed the death of the Chinese team by a few minutes.
But he can't accuse Wang Guangwei of doing something wrong. At least he still retains a glimmer of hope for the Chinese team, even though this glimmer of hope is very slim...
So he said nothing, let alone anything.
Not far away from him, about a few people away and diagonally in front of him, England commentator Matthew Cox was continuously outputting with great excitement:
"Pete Williams' lob shot was blocked by Wang's hand! Yes, with his hand! Unmistakable! This is a foul! An unsportsmanlike foul! Intentional handball, blocking a must-goal.
!This is very unethical! He will be sentenced to death! But this will not be enough to make up for England's losses! We could start celebrating now!"
Unlike players such as Hu Lai, Zhou Zijing and Luo Kai who play in the Premier League, Wang Guangwei plays in Serie A, so Matthew Cox has no special feelings for him.
Now seeing that Wang Guangwei had ruined England's great good, he naturally continued to accuse him angrily.
Of course he knew that Wang Guangwei's move would not escape a red card and a penalty kick, but so what?
Without his intentional handball, the goal would have been scored! England would have taken the lead now!
This will be a decisive goal for the Chinese team!
But because of Wang Guangwei's interference, the winning goal was lost.
England can certainly get a penalty kick as compensation...but the penalty kick is not a must-goal!
This is what Matthew Cox is most unhappy about.
In his opinion, Wang Guangwei must have calculated this accurately and was willing to commit a handball foul.
The purpose is to use an opportunity that may lead to a goal in exchange for a goal that will definitely be scored.
The current Chinese team can still struggle to save the situation.
Like Matthew Cox, many England fans in the stands were also loudly cursing Wang Guangwei.
"Damn it! This foul is so cheap! The referee should have called the goal valid and sent him off with a red card!"
Levin cursed angrily.
"It's a pity that the rules don't support this..." David Miller sighed.
"Don't be so grumpy, Levin. We also got a penalty kick. The Chinese team will still die, it's just the difference between dying early and dying late." John Falkingham comforted his companions, "Wang is just dying.
That’s all.”
Although they, Leeds City fans, have a good impression of China because of Hu Lai and Zhou Zijing.
But when England plays against the Chinese team, they will still stand with their motherland.
Especially in such a fierce situation - the England team could have directly defeated the Chinese team, but because of Wang Guangwei's intentional handball, the victory was lost.
Anyone else would have yelled at him.
The same situation applies to Chinese fans - there are many fans of Premier League teams in China, but they did not cheer for the England team throughout this game.
There were many England fans who cursed Wang Guangwei in the stands, but not everyone was so angry.
There are also those who think, like John Falkenhay, that a penalty kick would be a good idea.
After all, the goal rate of penalty kicks is very high.
The Chinese team only died a few minutes later, there is no essential difference.
Therefore, the Chinese fans did not cheer for Wang Guangwei's save.
The boos and cheers in the stands were actually coming from the English fans. The vast majority of the Chinese fans were silent. Some people held their heads in their hands and looked blankly into the stadium, as if their brains had stopped.
think.
Han Shuyu looked like this at this time. She finally retracted her gaze, turned to look at Li Qingliang beside her, and found that he had the same expression as hers.
She looked elsewhere and saw that all the Chinese fans around her were like this.
Although Pete Williams did not score a direct goal, the current situation is actually not much better.
In the stands a little further away, the Pirates fans were confused for a moment:
"Damn! I'm going to be eliminated by England!"
"I feel bad when I think of the English people's faces!"
Because of the noise of the English media and the reputation of English fans, there may not be many people in Europe who like English fans, but there are a lot of people who hate them.
The Spaniards present, even if they are not Pirates fans, cannot support the England team in this game.

Wang Guangwei turned over, lying flat on the ground, looking at the blue sky.
Every clear evening, about twenty minutes after sunset, a special kind of blue will appear in the sky. It changes from the original warm color to a cold color, showing a quiet blue.
The sky during this time is very beautiful, and it is the "blues time" loved by countless photographers.
But now Wang Guangwei is not in the slightest mood to appreciate the beautiful sky. He just looks at the sky, but his eyes are dull.
He didn't get up in a hurry, but he could still imagine what the English players were doing at this moment... they must be raising their arms high, surrounding the referee, and complaining to him about themselves.
In fact, when he made the save, Wang Guangwei wasn't thinking about many messy things in his mind, just one thought - England couldn't score!
No matter what method is used, England cannot score a goal.
So he jumped out and used his hands.
For a central defender, the action he made when he made the save just now was very smooth and beautiful. Among the goalkeepers, I am afraid he can be selected as one of the top ten saves this week...
Listening to the growing noise, Wang Guangwei finally sat up from the ground. Before he could get up, he saw the referee, surrounded by England players, walking towards him, holding a... red card in his hand.
Intentional handball, direct red card and sending off.
Wang Guangwei still understands such a simple rule.
He didn't see the red card and jumped up excitedly to defend himself, because there was nothing to defend.
He did handball the ball on purpose.
After he got up from the ground, the referee showed the red card in front of him, and the red card was considered to be shown to him.
Wang Guangwei didn't care, he pulled the captain's armband off his arm, then turned around and put it on for goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan who was standing next to him!
Lin Zhiyuan himself was stunned. He never expected that Wang Guangwei would come like this...
After Wang Guangwei deliberately saved the football with his handball, almost all the Chinese players present were in a state of shock.
Lin Zhiyuan is no exception.
He didn't understand how the game developed like this...
Then he saw Wang Guangwei's actions and reflexively shrank his arm: "Captain Wang, what are you doing?"
"Don't move." Wang Guangwei continued to put the captain's armband on him. After putting it on, he squeezed his arms hard, "The next step is left to you, Lin Zhiyuan. I know the pressure will be great, but I can only
