Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1974 Today We Are All Chinese Fans

While the Chinese team players ran to the corner flag area and prepared to celebrate, the England players found the referee. They once again protested to the referee after the Chinese team scored.

Because they thought that the moment Luo Kai touched the ball, the football had passed the line as a whole.

One of the strongest testimonies came from goalkeeper Tom Walker.

When he jumped back, he saw through the net that the point of contact between the football and the ground was already outside the baseline.

"Absolutely out of bounds! When Luo touched the ball, the ball was 100% out of bounds!"

He waved his arms and appealed to the referee.

Other England players asked the referee to go to VAR.

"This ball...is this ball out of bounds?"

Even many experienced commentators are not sure.

Many of them yelled, "The ball is out of bounds!"

"The football goes out of bounds first, the ball should be invalid!"

From where they are, it's certainly not clear what's happening on the bottom line.

But there are monitors in front of them, and the monitors are live broadcasts.

Just now, many of them commented while watching the live broadcast on the monitor.

After the initial cheers, He Feng gradually calmed down, and he was also a little worried—won't he really go out of bounds?

※※※

The commentators were anxiously awaiting the result, as were the fans.

The Chinese fans, who were still cheering before, fell silent. They stared at the stadium with wide eyes, and some looked up at the big screen, trying to find information from the live broadcast on the big screen.

England fans kept chanting: "Out of bounds! Out of bounds! This ball is out of bounds! Invalid! Invalid goal!"

They are also doing the gesture of crossing their hands at the same time.

The Chinese fans remained silent with a guilty conscience.

Because they are not sure whether the ball really went out of bounds early.

Even if you ask Luo Kai himself, he probably doesn't know.

After all, at that critical moment, no one would stare at the football going out of bounds. Being able to kick the football is already very remarkable...

That's why Luo Kai was also in a daze, standing in front of the corner flag area with Zhou Zijing and Hu Lai, looking back at the referee.

Since the introduction of VAR video referee technology in football matches, this situation has often occurred-if a goal is disputed, the scoring team cannot rush to celebrate and has to wait for VAR to confirm.

If it is confirmed that the goal is valid, the players will celebrate happily, and the cheers of the fans will re-emerge in the stands.

But in this way, the emotions will definitely be interrupted.

"Ah, that's why I don't like VAR..."

Before the live broadcast, Meng Xi complained.

Someone asked: "Did the ball go out of bounds?"

"I don't think so..." Mao Xiao shook his head, but his tone was not sure enough.

"It's hard to say..."

At this time, the slow motion of the goal just now was released on the live TV. The playback speed was obviously slowed down a few seconds before and after Luo Kai touched the ball.

From the video, when Luo Kai touched the ball, the football was indeed not within the baseline.

"It's really out of bounds..." Someone lamented.

"No, not out of bounds!" Yan Yan said with certainty. "The football has to pass the line as a whole before it is considered out of bounds. I think there is still a part of the ball on the baseline."

"Let's see how the VAR judges." Chu Yifan also expressed his opinion, "There is actually no controversy about this ball, and the current VAR can also judge whether it is out of bounds. Now the VAR referee team will give a result after watching the video."

As soon as he finished speaking, the VAR judgment screen was released in the live broadcast of the game.

When the football is about to roll off the bottom line, the picture freezes, and then the perspective changes to a vertical bird's-eye view.

This picture is not actually shot, but is calculated through the signal exchange between the chip built into the football and the receivers all over the stadium.

The calculated data is then simulated by computer animation to finally generate the picture that the audience sees.

The frozen picture began to change, and the trajectory of the football rolling just now was reproduced frame by frame.

From the entire ball in the baseline to rolling over the baseline.

Then when the overall projection was about to cross the bottom line, Luo Kai's feet appeared next to the football.

The screen freezes again.

This is the moment Luo Kai touches the ball.

The overlooked picture is clear at a glance.

There is still a trace of the projection of the football on the white bottom line.

It is because of this trace of projection that VAR gave a judgment:

GOAL

The goal is valid!

"Cow batch!"

"pretty!"

"Hu Lai Niubi!"

"Rocky beef batch!"

"Dongchuan Middle School is awesome!"

The men in the living room cheered.

※※※

It was not only Yan Yan and Chu Yifan in front of the TV who cheered, but also the Chinese fans at the scene.

Huge cheers spread over the Pirates Park Stadium.

All the emotions that had been suppressed before were gushing out.

The Chinese players also started to celebrate again.

Hu Lai was the first to react. He turned around and ran to the sidelines. Because the run-up distance was relatively short this time, he only took two steps before making his signature celebration movement. The movement was not as stretched and powerful as before, but No one cares about this.

Teammates swarmed up to celebrate with him.

Even the Chinese players on the bench rushed over and joined them.

Amidst the cheers all over the sky, He Feng in the commentary seat shouted excitedly again:

"The ball did not go out of bounds! The vertical projection is still a little bit on the line! That is, this little bit may change the fate of the two teams! At least, the precarious fate of the Chinese team has been changed! Now we can continue Stay in the World Cup! In the 84th minute of the game, the Chinese team 3:3 England! Tenacious Chinese team, great Chinese team!"

Yan Kang next to him was also very excited. Before He Feng could finish speaking, he couldn't wait to answer:

"Supposing Luo Kai's movements were slower, or he gave up chasing completely, the ball would have been lost...but because Luo Kai didn't give up, Hu Lai had a chance to score a goal in the middle! This ball is really It's a little bit close, but if there is no desire to score goals and stick to professional beliefs, no matter how fast you run, you can't catch up! The last slight difference is actually the ultimate reward for all Chinese players' unremitting efforts and self-sacrifice. Good return! This Chinese team deserves our high hopes for them! They deserve it!"

When it came to the end, Yan Kang's voice was a little choked up, and there were tears in his eyes.

Not only because this ball helped the Chinese team equalize the score, but also because the process of scoring was really... so youthful and full of passion!

A football that was shot wide and was about to roll out of the bottom line was rescued by the Chinese team players desperately.

The ball looked like a miracle.

But unlike those world waves, this "miracle" was clearly created by people.

The world wave has a luck component, and even the luck component accounts for the largest proportion.

And this ball also has an element of luck, but in this ball, the luck factor cannot be the decisive factor.

Someone might say "If Luo Kai's foot arrives later, the ball will be out of bounds".

But if there is no if, Luo Kai just rushed to the last chance.

Why can he arrive?

Because he rushed to the bottom line without hesitation, because he kicked the football without hesitation.

If this is "good luck", it was also created by Luo Kai, not a gift from heaven.

The players of the Chinese team near the corner flag hugged Luo Kai, patted his body, rubbed his hair, and yelled at him.

Luo Kai, who was surrounded and pushed by everyone, gritted his teeth, and even his neck was red.

I live again!

I am alive again!

I am worthy of this jersey and the flag on my chest!

He yelled to himself in his heart.

※※※

While the Chinese team wildly celebrated the goal, the England fans in the stands stared at the big screen dumbfounded.

The VAR judgment screen was put on it again.

"It's unbelievable...the ball didn't go out of bounds..."

"Has God not blessed us?"

Some people murmured in shock, while others questioned angrily:

"VAR fraud! This must be a live animation! FIFA has never announced their algorithm, why do they say what is what?! This ball is absolutely! 100%! Out of bounds!"

"FUCK! FUCKOFF! FUCKFIFA!"

They raised their middle fingers at the VAR animation on the big screen and shouted curses.

But that doesn't change anything.

No...they changed the picture on the big screen.

The VAR animation disappeared and was replaced by the celebration scene of the Chinese team fans on the spot.

After the camera quickly cut to some Chinese fans, it suddenly stayed on a group of fans in blue jerseys for a long time.

What they are wearing is not the Chinese team jersey - no matter the Chinese team's away jersey or home jersey, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com or the second and third away jerseys, there is absolutely no blue color.

So when a group of fans wearing blue jerseys are waving China's five-star red flag in their hands, it's no wonder that they stay in the broadcast for a few seconds longer.

Not only did they wear the wrong jerseys, but they even looked wrong... They were all fans with big noses, and they didn't have any Chinese characteristics on them.

"Ha! It's a group of Madrid Pirates fans!"

Seeing this scene, He Feng and Yan Kang both laughed. They explained that the Madrid Pirates played a lot of games, and they even felt familiar with the faces of some of them...

These Pirates fans obviously also found their own shots on the big screen at the scene. Not only were they more excited than before, but they also raised the banners in their hands and waved them at the camera.

It was a banner with Chinese characteristics.

On the red cloth, there are yellow square characters printed.

A group of foreign fans proudly showed them to the camera lens:

"Today we are all Chinese fans!"
