Seeing Hu Lai fall in front of him, Noah Bowman's first reaction was to go to the referee.
When he saw the referee running towards the penalty area with the whistle in his mouth and pointing towards the penalty spot, he quickly raised his finger:
"No! No no no! No! It's not a penalty kick! I didn't touch him! I touched the football!"
He made a circle with his hands to indicate that he was scooping the ball.
However, judging from the replay of the game from multiple angles, he did shovel Hu Lai's foot, although the power of his kick was not great...
But Hu Lai didn't hold his ankles and roll around on the ground several times...so we can't say that Hu Lai fell.
At the same time that Bowman shoveled it out, Hu Lai's left foot pushed the football to the right. If Hu Lai moved slower, maybe Bowman could really shovel the football away...
Since Bowman's foot actually kicked Hu Lai's foot, it was a foul.
To say that the tackle is not strong enough to make Hu Lai fall...
This is a bit ridiculous.
What kind of power can make Hu Lai fall?
The rules do not say that it is a foul only if a player falls after physical contact.
As long as you make a tackle and hit someone first, no matter how hard the tackle is, it is 100% a foul.
In fact, the Ruerlein players all understand this. If Edman is tackled to the ground by Danny Drew in the penalty area, even if Edman is stronger than Hulay and is less likely to fall to the ground, they will
He will still firmly believe that the referee should give a penalty kick.
But now, they feel that Hu Lai is faking.
They surrounded the referee one after another, complained to him, explained and protested.
Some people even asked the referee to watch the VAR slow-motion video.
The referee actually looked at it and insisted on his decision. He still sentenced Noah Bowman to a foul and gave the captain of Ruerrhein a yellow card.
Bowman, who was shown a yellow card, widened his eyes: Brother, my slightest move is worthy of a yellow card?!
"Bowman may feel that he is wronged, but he shoveled someone, and if he shovels someone, he will get a yellow card. There is nothing wrong with him." He Feng said while watching this scene.
In front of the TV, Xie Lan didn't care whether Bowman should be shown a yellow card. She stood in front of the TV, put her hands together in front of her mouth, and said impatiently: "Stop making a fuss, let someone take a penalty kick!"
Then she suddenly felt something, turned around suddenly, stared at her grinning husband and said, "Are you laughing at me?"
Hu Lixin quickly waved his hands and shook his head, "No, no! No..."
"Then why are you laughing?"
"I'm happy." Hu Lixin explained seriously. "If this goal is scored, the Pirates will basically advance to the finals, and our son is not injured yet. Shouldn't we be happy?"
Xie Lan was speechless.
The moment Hu Lai fell to the ground, she screamed, worried that her son was injured.
I believe that at that moment, countless fans across China had the same reaction and thoughts as Xie Lan.
Fortunately, Hu Lai got up from the ground quickly and did not lie on the ground holding his ankles like Luo Kai did yesterday.
Only then did Xie Lan breathe a sigh of relief.
Not getting injured is indeed Xie Lan's bottom line.
On this basis, if Madrid Pirates can still advance to the finals, that would be better and everyone would be happy.
Although Xie Lan would be unhappy if he could not advance to the finals, he would not feel pain or despair.
"Hulay is standing in front of the penalty spot, and he will personally take the penalty kick he created. If he can score, the Madrid Pirates will lead Ruhrlein by two goals in the total score...
With less than ten minutes left in the game, this score means that their hopes of advancing to the finals have greatly increased! At the same time, Hu Cai will also score his twentieth goal in the Champions League this season! Two consecutive goals.
In this season, he raised the number of individual goals in the Champions League to the first two, and Hu Lai is the top scorer in football today! "
The commentator came from the TV
He Feng's excited voice.
Xie Lan spared her husband and turned her attention back to the TV screen.
Her son was indeed standing in front of the penalty spot, and when she looked back at her husband, he had already laid out the football.
In the close-up shot, her son is staring in the direction of the goal, with nothing visible in his eyes.
But Xie Lan knew that his son would be able to calm down and be more stable at times like this!
Perhaps others would be worried about how much pressure her son would have to endure to kick this penalty kick, but Xie Lan felt that her son would be fine.
pressure?
What pressure?
No matter how much pressure you put, it's just a matter of kicking!

When Hu Lai was setting the ball, a lot of things were actually happening on and off the court.
The Ruerrhein players still couldn't accept this result.
Therefore, in addition to Noah Bowman, Edman also received a yellow card for being rude to the referee.
At the same time, Ruerrhein's head coach Kuhn was sent to the stands by the referee with a red card because he protested excessively on the sidelines.
The reason why everyone in Ruhrlein, from the head coach to the players, were so excited about this penalty kick is because they all know what this penalty kick means to Ruhrlein.
If the Madrid Pirates score a penalty kick, they will be two goals ahead of Ruhrlein.
At this time, falling behind by two goals... was almost a death sentence for Ruhrlein.
If you are only behind by one goal, you can still make a desperate move in the last ten minutes of the game and create a miracle.
Two goals behind... Even if Hu Lai puts on the Ruerrhein jersey, that may not work!
After four minutes of chaos, it was all over.
Regardless of their reluctance, Ruerrhein's players also exited the penalty area and gave up the stage.
The head coach Leroy Kuhn, who was driven into the stands, was lying on the railing of the first-level stands, pursed his lips, and stared in the direction of his goal.
Goalkeeper Koenigs stood on the goal line, opened his arms, and covered one third of the goal.
In the box, Ramirez, his wife, and teammate Ion Martinez stood up. Ramirez stared at the court in silence, while Ion turned his back, closing his eyes and not daring to look.
.
The Pirates Park stadium, which had been noisy for a long time, became quiet at this moment.
Everyone is waiting for God to knock the final hammer.
In this silence, the referee's whistle sounded particularly clear.
"Wow!"
Hu Lai took a running start, raised his right leg, opened his hips and arms, and pushed with one kick!
The football flew quickly against the turf towards the lower right corner of the goal!
Koenigs pounced on the lower left corner!
He made a wrong judgment!
"HUUUUUUUUUUGOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!"
"Hu Lai! The ball is scored! Steady! So steady!"
"Ladies and gentlemen! The first player in the history of the Champions League semi-finals to score four goals in a single game, the first player in the history of the Champions League semi-finals to score five goals in a single game - Hu!"
"Since the Champions League was restructured, only one team has been able to come back after losing three goals in the first leg of the semi-finals, but not one team has come back after losing two goals... And now, Madrid Pirates have the opportunity to become the first team in history.
The team that did it! After they lost to Ruhr Rhein 0:2 away from home in the first round, after 87 minutes of hard work, they not only tied the point difference, but also led Ruhr Rhein by two goals! "
"Incredible! Incredible! The Pirates are going to create a miracle comeback on their home court!"
"No one has ever done it in history? It doesn't matter! Hu Lai is the one who specializes in making history! Not just the history of the semi-finals, but maybe also the history of the finals!"
The commentators from all over the world had a collective climax.
The stadium, which had been quiet just a moment ago, burst into cheers.
Back in the box
Ion Martinez, who had still closed his eyes facing the court, heard the cheers of the people around him and immediately opened his eyes and turned to look inside the court.
I saw Hu Lai running towards the corner flag area!
In another box, Song Jiajia jumped three feet high, raised her arms and shouted: "Hu Lai is awesome!!"
Beside him, Li Qingqing was applauding vigorously with a bright smile on his face.
After cheering, Song Jiajia turned to look at Li Qingqing and said, "Tickets for the final are also arranged for you!"

Kuhn remained lying on the railing, surrounded by cheering Madrid Pirates fans, and he was indifferent to this.
Although the game is not over yet, he knows that he has lost even his underwear...
But he felt that the ending should not have been like this.
He knew that Madrid Pirates would adopt offensive tactics in this game, and he also knew very well that Madrid Pirates' offensive firepower was very strong, and his defense would definitely not be able to defend it, and he would 100% lose the ball.
So he attacked the Madrid Pirates and adopted a high-pressing tactic.
But judging from the current result, he still doesn't know enough about Madrid Pirates...no, he doesn't know Hulay's scoring ability deeply enough.
But can you blame him?
Who would have thought?
Who could have imagined that the game would turn out like this?
Just like no team has ever lost two goals in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals and still managed to come back.
No player has ever scored five goals in a single game in the Champions League semi-finals before!
Scoring...why is it so easy for that person?!
Then Kuhn became a little angry again:
Then why didn’t you score a single goal at our home court?! Just to make a big news in the second round?!
He looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to get some answers from God.
But the answer was not God, but the cheers of more than 80,000 home team fans at Pirates Park.
Or...is this God's answer?

PS, I stayed up for five consecutive days and had to get up early the next day to do nucleic acid tests. I really couldn’t stand it anymore.
