Chapter 312

When Di Maria took the ball out of bounds and the ball was dead, Yin Tiesheng replaced Hao Junmin with defender Wan Houliang, continued to strengthen the defense, and completely gave up attacking and counterattacking.

Even Jiang Xiaolin was ordered to return to the penalty area to participate in the defense.

However, the substitution process made the Argentines hate it.

Because Hao Junmin, who was leaving the field, walked too slowly.

It took more than 20 seconds for Hao Junmin and Wan Houliang to complete the substitution.

However, it was not over yet.

It was not that Argentina could immediately enter the game after the Chinese team completed the substitution.

Because it was a throw-in, and Di Maria himself made it out of bounds, the serve was on the Chinese team.

Zhao Xuri, who threw the throw-in, kept probing, and Jiang Xiaolin and others kept running around in the field to pretend to respond, until Zhao Xuri threw the ball out after probing three times.

The ball was naturally thrown to Jiang Xiaolin's feet.

Jiang Xiaolin's full-value ball-stopping skills allow him to stop the ball well and will not be easily intercepted by the opponent.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaolin also has full-value dribbling skills. Even if he cannot break through the opponent, it is easy to control the ball under his feet. It is difficult to intercept it if one or two opponents rush to grab it separately.

However, this time the out-of-bounds ball was dribbled out of bounds by Di Maria during the attack, and the position was in the Chinese team's half, so Jiang Xiaolin did not dare to play with fire too much.

After two players from the opponent surrounded him aggressively and kept trying to kick the ball, Jiang Xiaolin waited for an opportunity to pass the ball.

Then Jiang Xiaolin turned around and rushed to Argentina's half.

Although the head coach Yin Tieshen issued an order to defend with all his strength and no longer attack, it would be good if he could counterattack and threaten the opponent's goal.

It can also send the ball to the opponent's half, away from his own goal, making his own goal safer.

It was with this idea that Jiang Xiaolin immediately turned around and rushed to the opponent's half after passing the ball, and asked his teammates to pass the ball over.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaolin's counterattack caught the Argentines off guard.

Because in the last few minutes, even Jiang Xiaolin himself retreated to the penalty area to participate in the defense, which led Argentina to subconsciously believe that the Chinese team had completely given up the attack by retreating all the way and defending the 2-1 victory.

This not only made all the midfielders of Argentina cross the center line to participate in the attack, but even Pareja, one of the two central defenders, crossed the center line to join the attack.

Only the central defender Gare stood near the center circle, acting as the last central defender.

In fact, it was just a show.

When Jiang Xiaolin retreated to the penalty area to participate in the defense, Gare had no one to defend.

Therefore, Gare was eager to try many times, walked forward a few steps to join the transition of passing and receiving the ball, and tried his best to participate in the attack.

The Chinese team's substitutions during dead ball time and the use of out-of-bounds balls to delay time further deepened the Argentines' anxiety and subconsciously deepened their impression that "the Chinese team will definitely continue to defend."

Therefore, with this impression, all Argentines were completely unprepared for Jiang Xiaolin's sudden counterattack.

When Jiang Xiaolin turned and rushed to their half, no one blocked Jiang Xiaolin's running path in the first time, and no one even blocked the route or delayed Jiang Xiaolin's sprint.

By the time they realized that Jiang Xiaolin was going to counterattack, it was too late.

Jiang Xiaolin was about to cross the center line.

At this time, the ball had been passed to Zheng Zhi's feet.

Although Zheng Zhi played as a defensive midfielder, he was an all-round talent and could also be an organizing midfielder, and he played very well.

Seeing Jiang Xiaolin rushing towards the opponent's half, Zheng Zhi understood Jiang Xiaolin's intention, so after receiving the ball from Tan Wangsong, he did not pass the ball back in the backcourt, but kicked the ball directly to the frontcourt with a long pass.

As long as Jiang Xiaolin rushed into Argentina's half and surpassed the last central defender Garay, he would receive the ball and form a single shot.

The Chinese fans in the stands were already excited.

Because Jiang Xiaolin had indeed rushed across the center line, and quickly surpassed Garay, who turned a little slower, to form an offside, and then received Zheng Zhi's air pass about 20 meters away from the Argentine penalty area, and stopped and unloaded it to the front, and followed up at full speed, ready to take the ball and play another single shot.

In fact, a single shot has been formed now.

However, Zheng Zhi's pass and Jiang Xiaolin's speed did not form the most perfect match.

When Jiang Xiaolin stopped and unloaded the ball, he had to slow down and wait for a while before unloading the ball and dribbling it out.

It was a delayIn less than half a second, Garay, the last central defender of Argentina, caught up with him.

After being offside by Jiang Xiaolin, Garay was already in despair.

He knew that as long as he could catch the ball in the air and form a single shot, Argentina would be dead.

At this time, if Jiang Xiaolin scored again, it would definitely be a decisive victory and Argentina would not have even a slight chance.

Therefore, while desperately chasing back, Garay looked at Jiang Xiaolin's back and prayed, hoping that Jiang Xiaolin would stop the ball and kick it directly to the goalkeeper Romero who had already attacked, so as to resolve this crisis.

But what made him desperate was that Jiang Xiaolin's stopping technique was really too extreme.

During the running process, Jiang Xiaolin actually unloaded the ball perfectly, without stopping far, without going far, and without unloading it crookedly, but unloading it right in front of his running route, and the distance of the dribbling ball was also perfectly matched with Jiang Xiaolin's running speed.

What kind of stopping technique is this?

Even the football kings Maradona and Pele couldn't do it so easily, right?

Fortunately, Gare, who was desperate but continued to chase back at full speed, found that Jiang Xiaolin slowed down a little when he stopped the ball. This was because the landing point of the ball did not completely match Jiang Xiaolin's speed. Jiang Xiaolin was forced to slow down and wait for the ball to fall before dribbling forward.

It was Jiang Xiaolin's slowing down to unload the ball that made Gare, who had been thrown two or three meters away from Jiang Xiaolin, suddenly close to a distance of only one body length.

Of course, at this time, Jiang Xiaolin had successfully unloaded the ball and dribbled it out again. He was about to move forward at full speed and was about to throw Gare away again.

Jiang Xiaolin's dribbling skills and speed, even if he was running with the ball, were faster than Gare who was running without the ball.

This has been verified countless times in previous games.

Jiang Xiaolin's speed is really unique in the world of football and invincible.

At this time, it was less than 10 meters away from the Argentine penalty area line.

Gare knew that as long as Jiang Xiaolin with the ball got rid of him smoothly, Romero would not be able to stop Jiang Xiaolin's single-handed attack.

Whether it was a lob shot or a powerful shot, Jiang Xiaolin's shooting skills were enough to send the ball into Argentina's goal, and the goal rate was infinitely close to 100%, while Romero's probability of successful saves was infinitely close to zero.

As long as Jiang Xiaolin got rid of him with the ball again, Argentina would be dead without a burial place.

Gare tried to reach out and pull Jiang Xiaolin, but the distance was too far.

Although there was only a body distance, because both sides were running at high speed, Gare could not accurately hold Jiang Xiaolin's hand, and even his clothes could not be held.

After all, he was the lagging party, not running side by side.

In this situation, Gare's idea of ​​trying to stop Jiang Xiaolin suddenly reached its peak, and an impulse to tackle him arose spontaneously.

Without waiting for Gare to consider the consequences of the tackle, he subconsciously threw his body out, showing his studs high, and kicked Jiang Xiaolin's calf.

Witnessed by countless viewers at the scene and around the world watching the live broadcast, Gare, who was one step behind Jiang Xiaolin, was unable to stop Jiang Xiaolin, and suddenly made a fierce tackle from behind, directly kicking Jiang Xiaolin's calf.

Jiang Xiaolin, who was dribbling the ball to observe Romero's position and was ready to shoot, was caught off guard. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his right calf, and then lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Ah..."

A shrill scream came out of Jiang Xiaolin's mouth, resounding over the sky above the National Stadium, even overwhelming the noise of the fans in the stadium.

Seeing Jiang Xiaolin, who seemed to have even deformed his calf and fell to the ground holding his calf and screaming, many neutral fans not only shuddered, but also a chill climbed from his back to the top of his head, leaving them dumbfounded.

The people at the scene and in front of the TV, after being stunned for a second or two, suddenly burst into huge screams and curses, mixed with the panic of countless people.

In the commentary booth, the commentator of the TV station's sports channel was still excitedly explaining Jiang Xiaolin's counterattack:

"Zheng Zhi made a long pass!"

"Jiang Xiaolin surpassed Gare and successfully countered the offside."

"Jiang Xiaolin received the ball and had a one-on-one chance!"

"Is Jiang Xiaolin going to score another goal?"

When he said this, the commentator's voice became much louder and even trembled a little.

This was the sound of excitement.

Thinking of Jiang Xiaolin's success rate of scoring a one-on-one goal, thinking that after scoring this goal, the Chinese team will lead Argentina by two goals, and thinking that it has entered injury time, it is no wonder that the commentator is excited and trembling.

Not only the commentator, but also the one who saw Jiang Xiaolin receiving the ball and having a one-on-one chanceAll Chinese fans and spectators were excitedly waiting for Jiang Xiaolin to score the third goal for the Chinese team.

However, in the next second, everyone watched Gare kick Jiang Xiaolin from behind.

The key point is that even through the screen and from a long distance, everyone clearly saw that Gare did not shovel the ball, but directly kicked Jiang Xiaolin's calf, and Jiang Xiaolin's calf seemed to be deformed.

Jiang Xiaolin's shrill scream to the sky seemed to be heard by everyone through the screen.

The commentator was speechless for two or three seconds, and then suddenly woke up and said with horror:

"Jiang Xiaolin was tackled from behind by Garay!"

"Garay was not tackling, he kicked Jiang Xiaolin's calf directly!"

"Jiang Xiaolin fell down screaming, and it seemed that his calf was a little deformed!"

"This is not a foul, this is intentional injury, Garay is killing and committing a crime!"

"This is not a football game!"

"Garay should be sent to prison and sentenced! He is intentionally injuring people!"

"Jiang Xiaolin may be seriously injured!"

"The team doctor has entered the field, we hope Jiang Xiaolin is okay!"

Under the gaze of countless Chinese people at the scene and in front of the TV, the players on the scene broke out into a large-scale shoving and cursing.

Zheng Zhi rushed up and punched Garay, and then Zheng Zhi was kicked away by Di Maria, and the players from both sides immediately wrestled together.

The referee, the linesman, the fourth official, and even the police who were maintaining public order rushed into the field to control the situation.

The Chinese team's team doctor did not even wait for the referee's permission, but rushed into the field with a stretcher and began to check nervously.

The result of the check was very bad.

Jiang Xiaolin's calf was directly broken by Garay, a fracture!

Jiang Xiaolin covered his face and was carried off on a stretcher, and was immediately sent to the most professional orthopedic hospital in the capital for emergency treatment.

Countless fans at the scene and in front of the TV were in tears, booing and cursing Garay and the Argentines.

However, none of them helped Jiang Xiaolin's injury and his end.

With the help of the linesman and the police, the referee took several minutes to completely control the situation on the field.

Naturally, Garay was directly sent off by the referee with a red card.

And this is not the end. After the game, he will definitely be severely punished by FIFA and even face a global ban.

In a globally broadcasted game like the Olympics, tackling someone from behind, and tackling directly on the other person's calf, this is too bad.

This is an approach that aims to directly ruin the other person's career.

As the commentator said, this is not a game, this is intentional injury, or even a crime.

The red card is definitely not the final punishment that Garay faces.

When Garay left the field, countless mineral water bottles, coke, popcorn, lighters, and even shoes of fans flew from the stands like snowflakes.

As for boos and curses, they were endless.

Garay returned to the locker room from the player tunnel under the protection of the police, otherwise he would have been torn apart by the fans.

In addition to Garay, other players who had conflicts on the field did not get any benefits.

Zheng Zhi, Di Maria and other players who had direct conflicts each received a yellow card. After a delay of four or five minutes, the game resumed.

After Jiang Xiaolin left the field, Yin Tieshen replaced Han Peng in his place.

The Chinese team got a free kick in the front court because of Gare's foul. Wang Yongbai took the penalty kick and kicked it over the crossbar.

Then, the Argentines took over the attack.

Although Argentina wanted to score a goal in the last few minutes to tie the score and drag the game into overtime, how could the Chinese team allow it?

Zheng Zhi, who was sent off with a red card, directly elbowed his opponent when competing for the header at the front of the penalty area.

The opponent's head was immediately broken and bleeding, and Zheng Zhi was shown a yellow card. Two yellows turned into one red, and he was sent off.

But Zheng Zhi's red card was not only not booed by the fans, but was treated like a hero.

Everyone tacitly agreed that Zheng Zhi was avenging the opponent for Jiang Xiaolin's injury.
