Chapter 183
The regular time of the game ended.
Neither side scored in the final stage and the game entered the overtime stage.
"Coach Zhang, it seems that our national team has practiced penalty kicks before the game, right?" Xiao Zhan asked
"Yes. It seems that Coach Leeson's judgment was correct. This game will most likely be decided by a penalty shootout."
……
"We are already here."
In the locker room of Longguo, captain Zheng Jun stood in front of everyone and gave a short speech.
"Win, only win! I don't want to fail in the finals for the first time, do you understand?"
Many players laughed while wiping their sweat.
Chen Huan also laughed. The team doctor who was massaging his legs to relax his muscles asked him,"Brother Huan, can your body hold on in overtime?"
The team doctor asked this for a reason. Chen Huan had already shown signs of fatigue before.
This is a normal phenomenon that often occurs in players who fight on multiple fronts.
"I can hold on."
Even if he couldn't hold on, he had to grit his teeth. He was the soul of the national team. If he couldn't hold on, how could others?
Outside the locker room, another staff member came in to announce that the second half of the game was about to start. Zheng Jun led the others to line up and leave the locker room.
This time the player's tunnel was very quiet. The Dragon players and the Korean players no longer had any contact or communication.
Then they went to the sidelines to prepare for the game. With the referee's whistle, the game began.
The two substitutes of the Dragon team, Xie Wenqiang and Zhang Dong, have already appeared on the court. Their physical fitness is better. The extra time was full and extremely active.
In the entire first half of the overtime, both teams failed to organize a threatening attack.
After a short break in the middle, the two teams changed sides and continued the game.
The Korean team took advantage of Xie Wenqiang's unsuccessful forced breakthrough to organize a quick counterattack in the middle.
The ball was quickly passed and cut between several Korean players, and finally delivered to Son Heung-min's feet.
The Dragon Kingdom's defense line was like facing a great enemy and shrank across the board.
After Son Heung-min shook off the Dragon Kingdom's defensive players from the wing, he cut inside to the middle, and then used his speed to create an angle for a shot.
Kick, shoot
"boom——"
With a muffled sound, the football drew an arc in the air and flew to the far corner of the goal.
Just as the football was about to cross the goal line, a figure rushed out like a god descending from heaven.
Zhao Qianming stretched out his hands in mid-air and"picked" the ball down.
……
"Huh-huh——"
Chen Huan felt as if his lungs were on fire. Every time he ran, his body felt as if it was filled with lead.
He knew that his physical strength had begun to fail.
The midfield of the Longguo team launched an attack. Xie Wenqiang and Tang Chi played a wall match and brought the ball to the middle.
"Well, now I have to charge forward even if I have to die.……"Chen Huan gritted his teeth and ran sideways.
Xie Wenqiang passed the ball to him under the double team of several Korean players.
Chen Huan unloaded the football with the outside of his left foot and accelerated into the penalty area of the Korean country.
Although he was extremely tired at this moment, his body's absolute speed was still there.
He passed Ki Sung-yueng, who lost the interception, with his speed, and then passed Jang Hyun-soo again with two changes of direction.
Just as Chen Huan was about to look up to observe the situation of handling the ball, a figure rushed over from the side and slid over.
The next moment, Chen Huan felt a sharp pain in his supporting leg, and his body was knocked to the ground by someone.
The pain spread from his left leg to his whole body, and cold sweat oozed out of his pores at an alarming speed. Chen Huan hugged his left leg.
For a moment, Chen Huan even thought his leg was broken.
The angry Longguo players rushed to Jin Yingquan who stood up from the ground. Zheng Jun rushed to the front. He stretched out his hand to pinch Jin Yingquan's neck and pushed him to the ground angrily.
The players of the Korean team also rushed over, pushing each other, and their hands were not clean.
Under the high pressure, the mentality of the players of both teams was obviously unbalanced.
The team doctor rushed up to check Chen Huan's injuries.
At this time, the benches of both teams also erupted in normality. The substitutes all stood up, and it seemed that a large-scale conflict was about to occur.
……
"Staff please come in and stop them, a fight is about to break out"
"Now the key is to make a penalty for Jin Yingquan's action just now."Coach Zhang said.
The live broadcast screen switched to the replay clip just now.
When Chen Huan looked up, Jin Yingquan rushed over from the side and knocked Chen Huan to the ground with a flying tackle.
"Both legs were off the ground, and he didn't retract them at the end... Looking at Chen Huan's painful expression, we can also know that this is a very serious and bad foul. The team doctor is now next to Chen Huan to check on his injuries. Don't get hurt!"
……
The situation was finally calmed down after the referee showed yellow cards to two Dragon players and two Korean players.
The referee hooked his finger at Kim Young-kwon, then pulled out a red card from his pocket and raised it.
"Straight red card, leave the field!"
Kim Young-Kwon's face showed great fear. He tried to approach the referee to explain his behavior, but the referee pointed to the sidelines, signaling Kim Young-Kwon to leave immediately.
Kim Young-Kwon lowered his head and slowly walked to the sidelines.
He seemed to want to interact with the head coach Quan Taiyong, but Quan Taiyong moved sideways and avoided Kim Young-Kwon.
Kim Young-Kwon lowered his head and came to the bench. The next moment, he buried his head in his clothes.
……
"Red card?"
The anchor in South Korea, with silver hair combed back, stood up.
"This is too fake, right? This action should at most get a yellow card, how could it be a direct red card?"
At this time, some people in the barrage area began to post"The anchor is a fake fan. The flying tackle with both feet off the ground, except for the action of pulling back the legs at the end, which can avoid a direct red card, all others will be sent off with a red card. This is an extremely dangerous foul action"
"The administrators will ban the people who are stirring up trouble in the live broadcast room.���Stop, start yelling
……
"Thank God, there is nothing serious wrong with your leg, just bruises."The team doctor was obviously relieved after the examination.
The team doctor took out the sedative and analgesic spray and sprayed it on the bruise of Chen Huan.
Captain Zheng Jun, who had just stood up for Chen Huan and received a yellow card for pinching Jin Yingquan, came over and said,"Chen Huan, are you okay?"
Chen Huan adjusted his socks, raised his head and nodded with a smile.
The Longguo team got a direct free kick at the position where Jin Yingquan violently tackled.
Chen Huan took the ball thrown by Zheng Jun, raised his head and looked past the wall of Korean players, looking towards the direction of the Korean goal.
