Chapter 44: Breath of Disaster

"Pull! Foul!!!!--"

He Wei suddenly stood up excitedly, pointing at the big screen and shouting; "Definitely a foul, this ball is a foul, penalty!! Penalty!!!--"

Zhang Lu on the side also kept shouting "penalty".

And there was an uproar in the stadium.

Just 11 minutes into the game, the German team made another mistake.

Hummels hurriedly argued with the referee.

"Sir, I..."

The referee's eyes made Hummels feel very bad.

He just waved at Hummels and immediately took out a yellow card from his shirt pocket.

Beep! !--

A sharp whistle sounded.

Hummels was stunned.

Immediately, the referee pointed to the penalty spot again.

This time, the German team was completely blown up.

Just 11 minutes into the game, they were awarded a penalty.

At this point, how could the German players sit still?

German coach Loew on the sidelines repeatedly defended himself to the fourth official.

"We asked VAR to take it into account, yes! I am very clear!"

Loew was very emotional.

This World Cup used VAR for the first time, with video referees.

For this, he was considered to have grabbed the last straw.

The referee in the stadium also received a notice from the fourth official.

When the two sides of the game have disputes over the penalty, they can ask VAR to intervene.

In response, the referee also drew a square figure on his chest to indicate the intervention of VAR.

Immediately, the referee ran to the sidelines to watch the replay of the game.

At the same time, slow motion also appeared on the major screens.

"It's definitely a penalty!!"

He Wei was extremely confident.

In the slow motion, Chen Xiang had already entered the penalty area, and Hummels just reached out to pull him.

Although this pull was only once, any slight impact during fast dribbling would cause the offensive player to fall.

It can be said that this is obvious interference.

Without VAR, it is at most a misjudgment, but with VAR, it is confirmed.

Sure enough, after the referee returned to the field, he still insisted on the original judgment.

Now, the German team was speechless.

"Penalty!!! Very good!!!"

He Wei said excitedly; "The Chinese team got a valuable penalty in the 11th minute, Chen Xiang!! A wonderful escape from the opponent's rough violation, but he still got a penalty for the Chinese team."

"Hummels shouldn't be, this hand god has a problem."

"He probably did it subconsciously, but Chen Xiang" Zhang Lu said with a smile.

Others may not understand, but in the domestic league, Chen Xiang has the title of a card cheating master. Although this method is not mainstream, it is also a good weapon in official competitions.

Just like now, Chen Xiang conquered the referee with his acting skills.

"You dare to pull people?"

Chen Man said in surprise.

Le Kai was also puzzled.妵

Hummels is his teammate, and based on his understanding of the former, he should not make such a mistake.

Chen Xiang got up from the ground, he covered his mouth and said; "He didn't pull it, I acted!"

Hearing this, Chen Man widened his eyes.

"You are good!"

Lekai was also stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed.

"Captain Kai!" Chen Xiang looked at Lekai and said; "The penalty is given to you!"

Lekai is a person who specializes in Neuer, who else should this ball be given to. 妵

Lekai nodded to this.

"Don't worry!"

At this time, the penalty has been settled.

The German team also has to accept the fact of this penalty.

Seeing Lekai holding the ball and coming to the penalty spot, Neuer's heart was instantly pulled up.

This guy again.

Another penalty!

Neuer's head was in a mess.

"Absolutely can't talk!"

Neuer thought so.

After Lekai put the ball on the penalty spot, he pulled away without any nonsense.

Neuer kept adjusting his breathing.

Lekai lowered his head.

The Kazan Stadium suddenly became quiet.

No one thought that the game would develop in this direction.

At the beginning of the game, the German team attacked fiercely and the situation was very good.

But in the 11th minute, the Chinese team actually got a penalty kick opportunity.

This penalty kick will rewrite many things.

The eyes of the world are focused on the two.

"Lekai stands at the penalty spot, he wants to break the German goal guarded by Neuer!"

"The two are old rivals, but Lekai has never missed a penalty kick against Neuer. It was like this before, and it must be like this now!"

He Wei seemed to be cheering Lekai up.

At this time, Lekai took action.

"Lekai, run-up!"

In the field, Lekai started to run forward.

Each of his steps seemed to be stepping on the heartbeats of the fans. As Lekai's steps became faster and faster, their heartbeats also gradually accelerated.

Finally, Lekai ran to the penalty spot and started shooting.

His posture was extremely relaxed, without any tilt.

His eyes were drooping, and he couldn't tell the angle of the shot at all.

Neuer was extremely nervous. At this moment, he could only rely on data to make saves.

Lower left corner!

This is the position that Lekai is most familiar with.

Boom! !

Swish!

Lekai's shot and Neuer's save were almost simultaneous.

Everyone's eyes widened.

They saw Neuer guessed the direction correctly.

Lekai's penalty was indeed aimed at the lower left corner.

However, Lekai's penalty was very fast.

Because it was shot with the instep, it was faster than a push shot.

Neuer reacted quickly and his arm span was also long.

But he was still a step slower in getting to the ground.

The ball almost brushed the skin and passed through the armpit and rolled into the goal.

"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--"

He Wei shouted excitedly, and then he covered his chest with his hands and gasped; "It's so scary! Neuer guessed the direction correctly, but Lekai's penalty was too fast."

"This is a volley shot. If it was changed to a push shot, it might really be saved by Neuer!" Zhang Lu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"But the result is good!" He Wei was excited: "In the 11th minute, the Chinese team took the lead with Lucky's penalty kick!"

"Three games, three leads! Everyone has to face up to the performance of the Chinese team. One or two times are accidents, but the third time is not!" He Wei said excitedly; "The performance of the Chinese boys is much better than we expected!"

The Chinese team took the lead, which made the whole stadium like a pot of boiling water.

The Chinese fans cheered and shouted like crazy.

They thought about many processes of the game, and of course they thought about taking the lead, but this was probably a daydream.

But this daydream really came true.

Lucky scored a penalty kick to break the German team's goal and help the Chinese team take the lead.

If they win this game, they are likely to enter the World Cup knockout stage as the first in the group.

This is simply too good.

The Chinese fans are already crazy with joy.

The whole stadium was almost resounding with various cheers from Chinese fans.

And the German fans were dumbfounded.

This is a situation they have never imagined.

Although the German team encountered an accident in the first round, they still stopped the loss immediately in the second round and slightly recovered the situation.

Especially after the Chinese team defeated Mexico, everything was moving in a good direction.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, the German team also looked at ease.

But who would have thought that the situation would suddenly change and take a sharp turn for the worse.

The German team was awarded a penalty in the 11th minute, and Lucky successfully broke through the German team's goal.

In a situation that seemed stable, the German team was pulled down again?

"Stabilize it! Stabilize the situation! It's just a lost ball, no big deal!"

Loew shouted loudly on the sidelines.

He could feel that the mood of the German players suddenly became a little strange.

It seemed to be depressed and collapsed.

If the loss to Mexico in the first round was an accident.

But this knot has always existed in the hearts of the German players. Although they did not express it, they had a lot of negative emotions in their hearts.

This kind of emotion needs to be vented, but it cannot be vented through a hearty victory.

They have been holding back until now, and they are about to slaughter the Chinese team, but they didn't expect that they would be beaten back by the opponent.

This goal caused the negative emotions of the German players to burst out directly.

Under the emotions of irritability, anger, frustration, etc., morale is also constantly decreasing.

No matter how Löw shouted for remedies, he still couldn't wake these people up.

At this moment, Löw's expression was also extremely nervous.

He felt that there was a breath of disaster entangled with them.

Is there really a so-called championship curse?
