Chapter 86 Cut Off the Waist

"Umtiti handballed!"

"There was nothing wrong with the penalty! Umtiti's hand touched the ball."

However, at this moment, almost all French players gathered around the referee.

Especially headed by Griezmann and Pogba.

They want to put pressure on the referee, and they want the referee to change the penalty.

But such an obvious handball?

is it possible!

The French players pressed forward step by step, and the referee almost retreated beyond the baseline. In the end, the referee blew the whistle, forcibly pushed them away, and then walked out of the court.

Yes, under pressure, he went to the video referee and wanted to watch the video.

Although his eyes clearly saw it and determined that it was a penalty kick, in order to stabilize the situation and make everyone more convinced, he still went to look at VAR.

"Do you still want to watch the video?"

"It's completely unnecessary. This is not a ball hitter, this is a ball played with hands! Although Umtiti later stretched his hand back, he still did it on purpose!" Duan Xuannian said thoughtfully.

"Never succumb to the power of French players!"

The Chinese fans in the stands could not sit still, and wave after wave of boos came out, expressing their dissatisfaction with the referee and the French players.

French coach Deschamps went to the fourth official and was also putting pressure on the opponent.

On the coaching bench of the Chinese team, Gao Hongbo stretched his neck and kept looking in the direction of the video referee. Although he was not the head coach, he was also praying that the referee would not change the penalty.

Teammates around Dong Fangzhuo also cursed.

"Fuck,"

"If this changes the penalty, I will fucking beat the referee to death."

"Hold,"

"There's nothing to be hesitant about with this kind of ball, it's obviously a penalty!"

Huang Bowen and Feng Jin both started to curse. Anyway, the curses were in Chinese and others couldn't understand them.

"Calm down,"

"It shouldn't be possible." Dong Fangzhuo remained calm and looked at the video referee with squinted eyes.

Half a minute later, the referee walked back to the court, eagerly taking something out of his pocket as he walked.

It looked like he was going to draw his cards.

After a topaz card came out, it immediately flew towards Umtiti. Things have become very clear. Not only will a penalty kick be awarded, but Umtiti will also be given a yellow card!

Originally, the referee did not give Umtiti a card, but the French players put pressure on him and forced the referee to watch the video. After watching the video, Umtiti was in tragedy...

Adding insult to injury.

"good!"

"good!"

"Very good!"

"This can show fairness. The referee did a good job. The French thought he could put pressure on the referee, but he didn't expect to give Umtiti a yellow card."

"Now, Dong Fangzhuo can stand on the penalty spot calmly."

All the noise returned to calm. Whether it was Chinese fans or French fans, they all stared quietly at the French team's goal.

At this time, the French fans were much more nervous than the Chinese fans, because the Chinese fans were confident about Dong Fangzhuo's penalty kick, but the French fans could only pray that Dong Fangzhuo would not score.

Dong Fangzhuo put the ball on the penalty spot, while former Real Madrid teammate Varane walked up to Lloris and whispered in his ear.

how?

Is this teaching Lloris how to save my penalty? Dong Fangzhuo actually had a smile on his lips.

This is so funny.

There is no player in the world who can save my penalty kick, at least not Lloris.

Even if I give you ten chances, there is nothing you can do!

Dong Fangzhuo is really confident and has no fear of any move. He gave Varane enough time...

After Varane finished speaking, Dong Fangzhuo slowly opened his running position.

It's just a penalty kick, what's there to think about?

No.

There was a beep and he rushed forward.

He hit a curve ball with the inside of his right foot.

boom--

The ball hit the upper right corner of the goal.

Dead end!

Unless Loris is a god,

Otherwise, how could he seal it!

boom--

The stands finally erupted into deafening cheers.

The Chinese team led the French team 1:0 and got a dream start. The person who gave the Chinese team the chance to score was Umtiti.

All the plans made by the French team before the game failed.

Dong Fangzhuo raised his arms high and did not celebrate too much, but his teammates ran over and surrounded him to celebrate.

"Brothers! We are ahead."

"We must continue to maintain a high fighting spirit, concentrate our energy, and continue to fight!"

"Victory will definitely belong to us!"

In the hospital, Krauchen watched the game with a group of nurses.

"hehe,"

"hehe,"

"I told you, we can win."

"We can make it to the Final Four."

Without being a head coach, Krauchen can finally become an ordinary fan and express his opinions freely.

"No one in this world can save Dong's penalty kick."

"No, absolutely not!"

…

…

The game resumed and France had to face the situation of falling behind. Their formation began to press forward. Pogba, in particular, couldn't resist his desire to attack forward. In the 19th minute, Tolisso made a cross and Pogba shot away from 25 meters away. This was his first shot, but due to interference from Huang Bowen, his shot also lost its aim.

The Chinese team built a steel defense line in front of the penalty area. Although it still could not prevent the French team from shooting, the threat of the shot was not great.

Three minutes later, Dong Fangzhuo used his body to block Pogba's shot again. There was no way for the French team to do anything in the middle, and long-range shots could not threaten the Chinese team's goal. The French team began to play on the wing, with both wings flying together. Griezmann and Mbappe frequently pulled the ball to the wing, and then kept feeding the ball to Giroud in the middle. However, Giroud was weak in the middle alone. Although he had enough height advantages, he was always in the middle. Under the double-team of Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng, it was difficult for him to fly.

In the 31st minute, Dong Fangzhuo intercepted Pogba's pass in front of the penalty area and sent a through ball directly to Wu Sanshi, but Varane still intercepted it, otherwise the Chinese team could have made a beautiful counterattack.

Half an hour later, the French team still couldn't score, and Deschamps looked sad. The French team encountered no obstacles in the first four games. In the fifth game against China, they played really poorly. Although the offensive initiative was at the feet of the French team, they could not break the Chinese team's goal.

Henry and Zidane kept shaking their heads in the stands, sweating for the French team. They really wanted to put on the French team's jersey and play now, but they have already retired.

In the 37th minute, the French team had its best chance. Mbappe on the right finally got past Wang Gang and sent the ball into the penalty area. However, the ball he sent was not aimed at Giroud, but at Gullet. Griezmann, Griezmann is not tall enough, so he just jumps and makes an overhead kick!

But the barb lost its aim and the ball flew directly out of the baseline...

After nearly 40 minutes, they became a little tired and the pace of attack finally slowed down.

The two sides were in a stalemate in the midfield for five minutes, and the time finally came to stoppage time. Pogba couldn't hold it in any longer and took the initiative to rush forward. He played a one-two with Tolisso and was heading towards the Chinese team's half. Dong Fangzhuo took him straight away. Crash.

With a crash, he hit the turf hard, much worse than Zheng Zhi's just now.

I was caught off guard.

He didn't expect Dong Fangzhuo to be so cruel!

Pogba struggled continuously on the turf and finally raised his right hand.

My waist is broken!

It really doesn’t work anymore…

He's going to end!

"ah,"

"Paul,"

"Paul is gone. It seems the impact injured him."

Adding insult to injury!

"!!!"

"Asshole! Dong!"

Deschamps almost roared on the sidelines, quite dissatisfied with Dong Fangzhuo.

Dong Fangzhuo must have done it on purpose.

Dong Fangzhuo stood in front of Pogba, staring at Pogba coldly, without even looking at the referee who gave him a yellow card.

Yes,

It’s okay not to let this kid suffer a little bit, but even though he knows that he is not good enough, he is going to end up?

You look down too high on him, I have nothing wrong with you now...

France's toughest waist is broken.
