The second half of the game unknowingly reached the 75th minute, but the most anxious thing was not the two teams on the field, but the referees.

These Swedes have long been on the verge of death. If the Chinese team really drags the game into overtime or even steals the victory, wouldn't they become real clowns?

If the Chinese team loses, perhaps FIFA and the Western media will really downplay the big issue and make it a trivial matter.

But if the Chinese team wins, will these people still give them a platform to deal with the aftermath?

At that time, even if you have the leverage to bring FIFA down, the media may respond by blocking you. The simplest way is to close your channel to speak to the outside world. At that time, even if you have eight boxes of leverage, it will be useless.

This urgent sense of urgency will naturally further intensify the punishment of the underworld.

The Chinese team could feel that the referee was letting himself go, but their pressure did not increase further because the Argentinians were almost unable to rush.

In this game, the Chinese team's offensive and defensive rhythm was more than one beat faster than usual.

This kind of "fastness" is mainly reflected in the "speed of transition between offense and defense." Although the Chinese team has a steel barrel formation in the backcourt and the time of possession of the ball is greatly shortened compared to the past, as long as it gets the ball, it will look for Wu Jie with a big kick.

, or let the two wingers not care whether it succeeds or not, and rush over first to consume the Argentinian's physical strength.

When they didn't have the ball, they used a crazy version of "Eagle Catches Chicken" to press, which greatly reduced physical contact and greatly increased the intensity and frequency of the siege.

This forces the Argentinian players to speed up the rotation between offense and defense. The time each player spends running on the court is greatly increased, and the running distance naturally increases at the same time.

However, under the so-called inhumane training reported by Western media, Chinese players can barely withstand this kind of exhaustion, but it is difficult for Argentine players to withstand it!

This gap in "physical fitness" is mainly caused by differences in existing rules, tactical systems, football concepts, training intensity and quality.

In football in the 1980s, regardless of offense or defense, the three fronts were not so closely linked. Some players could temporarily stay outside the system and find some opportunities to take a lazy walk.

Coupled with the rules that are conducive to defense such as back-passing and behind-the-back tackles, the offensive and defensive rhythms of each team are not fast, and the tactical coordination is not simple enough. Ultimately, the overall rhythm is not intense enough, and the players do not consume much physical energy, and there is no need to make every effort.

Running distance of more than meters.

But at this time, the Chinese team has begun to simplify its technology and develop integrated offense and defense. It pays great attention to the overall advancement and return to defense, as well as the interaction between different fronts.

This allows them to play more concisely and quickly on both ends of the offense and defense, with more coordination between the front and backcourt. It also allows the players not to have too many opportunities to take a break, and the requirements for average physical fitness are much higher.

However, the Chinese team did not use the training methods of the 1980s from the beginning. The Argentinian players were not bad technically, but they could not keep up with the offensive and defensive rhythm of the Chinese team an era earlier, and they did not have the physical strength to maintain a stalemate with the Chinese team for the entire game.

Contest.

This is similar to the original men's basketball team before 2008. Even if it faced the Dream Team, the Chinese men's basketball team would often be able to fight back in the first quarter. If the opponent looked down on others too much, they could even survive the first half.

But in the second half, the American players had just warmed up and entered the state, but the Chinese players had no strength. At that time, it was difficult not to collapse.

Now the Argentinian players could hardly run. If the third party hadn't been too powerful, the Chinese team would have already blown the charge and drowned their opponents. Unfortunately, the referee prevented their biggest trump card from being effective.

In the 78th minute, Chen Haonan, who was still flashing support up to this point, forced Buruchaga, who had outstanding footwork skills, to make a mistake by himself.

However, in order to prevent a foul, Chen Haonan did not dare to take the ball away immediately. Instead, he prepared to form a double-team with Wang Dongning, who was coming over, so that his teammate, who did not have a yellow card, could steal the ball.

This cannot be more prudent, and there is absolutely no need to do this under normal circumstances.

But the referee was impatient and blew the whistle almost at the same time when Buruchaga made a mistake.

This was embarrassing. He didn't expect that Chen Haonan would stop temporarily when he had a chance to steal the football. Isn't this a match-fixing game?

This unnatural action caused the referee to blow the whistle. Buruchaga controlled the football again due to Chen Haonan's release. Although he was already in a semi-unbalanced state, there was indeed no fierce physical confrontation at the moment.

The fans in front of the TV could see it more clearly. At this time, Wang Dongning had just arrived at the scene, and Chen Haonan was so clean that he even raised his hands. The football was still at Buruchaga's feet.

The whistle sounded at this time, which made the Argentinian fans feel embarrassed. You are blowing it for Bo.

The referee couldn't care less about the embarrassment and could only resist the follow-up action of taking out the card and awarded Argentina a frontcourt free kick.

The Chinese players sneered in response, but were not worried about the threat from the set kick because the kick was taken 50 meters away from the goal.

At this time, Wu Jie quietly moved to the center. In recent minutes, he has re-entrusted the task of defending Maradona to his teammates, while he looked for opportunities to launch a counterattack.

Chinese players still have the physical ability to defend, but if they want to launch long-distance attacks, currently only he and Chen Haonan have this physical ability.

Even if Gu Guangming and Ren Zhihui can still sprint, their speed has dropped, making it difficult to penetrate Argentina's defense with one sneak attack.

But as long as he and Chen Haonan get a chance, the Argentinians will know what "black ten minutes" is.

The Argentinians are also very confused at this moment. The Chinese team has a lot of people in front of the goal. If they want to be sure to score, they naturally have to invest a corresponding number of people.

But what should I do if Wu Jie finds the opportunity for a sneak attack?

They have all seen countless highlights of the aliens sprinting fifty or sixty meters to score a goal at a speed of 100 meters in 11 seconds at the end of the game.

The Argentinian still chose to give Wu Jie full respect. This time the set kick allowed the defense to stay behind and stare at Wu Jie.

This allowed Buruchaga to take a free kick, and only Valdano could pose a threat to the Chinese team.

But this high center forward, who Real Madrid did not intend to renew his contract, had to face the joint defense of Jia Xiuquan and Cui Yonghua. In the end, Jia Xiuquan got the first spot.

But at this time, Jia Xiuquan did not know that he had indirectly created a masterpiece of God or Satan.

Argentina's set kick was too far away from the goal. The players were fighting outside the penalty area, and the first landing point was also outside the penalty area.

Jia Xiuquan was still wary of Valdano, who was 1.88 meters tall, so after getting the first shot, he tipped the ball to Lin Yaodong in the penalty area.

He believes that this is the safest choice. Lin Yaodong, who is stronger in "air defense" than "attack point", is unlikely to make mistakes.

Of course Lin Yaodong would not make such low-level mistakes, but when he saw Maradona rushing towards him from outside the penalty area, he deliberately slowed down his movements and waited for the opponent to jump towards him.

"Suffer it!"

Wu Jie was shocked. The tool man did not have the authority to view the competition in the original plane, so Lin Yaodong did not know about the "Hand of God".

But he knew that Maradona also had a special move that he could use with his hands. Lin Yaodong obviously wanted to cause the opponent to foul the goalkeeper, so he deliberately slowed down the beat and waited for Maradona to jump towards him as if he had lost his mind.

, then as long as you bump into him, you will get at least a yellow card.

Maradona was indeed crazy at this moment, but it was more because he was forced by Wu Jie. Now he saw Lin Yaodong clearly wanting to tease him, so his mind got excited and he actually raised his hand to slap the football after jumping to the highest point.

passed.

"That's stupid!"

Lin Yaodong was dumbfounded. Although he was suspected of playing with fire, based on his judgment, everything was under control.

Unless Maradona can jump two meters high for this ball, how can a short player who cannot use his hands compete with a tall goalkeeper who can use his hands?

But this bastard's hands were different. At this moment, Maradona seemed to be possessed by Lang Ping, and with a thunderbolt from the clear sky, he instantly taught Lin Yaodong how to behave.

"I'll catch you in my mouth!"

Lin Yaodong was really angry now. After landing, he tried his best to chase back, but he rushed into the goal but could not get the football out in front of the goal line.

Now he couldn't bear it any longer. He turned around and rushed towards Maradona, ready to talk some sense into his former teammate.

The atmosphere in the "Estadio Azteca" was very strange at this moment. The Argentine fans in the front were raising their arms and cheering wildly, but many Argentine fans in the back looked embarrassed.

This is because most of the fans in the front row do not use telescopes or other tools to watch the game due to the close distance.

But the fans in the back row didn't use binoculars, so they could only watch 22 stick figures walking around on the field, so many fans in the back row saw this outrageous scene.

As for the fans in front of the TV, of course they were all laughing at Maradona's handball.

This time the "Hand of God" is a little different from the original one. The action in the original version is more hidden, the process happens faster, and it is difficult to judge from most angles of playback, so it is understandable that the referee cannot see clearly.

But this time, first of all, the angle is more intuitive. Although the process happened just as quickly, because Lin Yaodong's position was more advantageous, Maradona's handball was really not hidden, and it was easily captured by the live camera.

, the fans in front of the TV can see it clearly.

The players on the scene could also see it very clearly. Some Chinese players immediately clapped their hands, some made handball gestures towards the referee, and the rest stepped forward to stop Lin Yaodong who was about to hit someone.

You can't really hit someone at this time. Maradona will definitely be sent off with a red card for such an obvious intentional handball in the penalty area. They can't go with him.

The Argentine players also felt that they could not escape with a red card. After seeing Maradona start celebrating, no one came forward to hug him for a while, and they all showed frustrated expressions.

These people think very simply. Such an obvious handball must be a red card. Although it is still 0:0, it is really too bad to lose the numerical advantage and play overtime with the Chinese team!

"Come and hug me, otherwise the referee will disallow the goal."

Maradona was also in a hurry. Seeing that his teammates were indifferent, he hurriedly said to Valdano and Ruggieri who were nearest.

Only then did the Argentine players react and hurriedly started celebrating the goal with him.

"Didi!"

The referee also hesitated for a long time, and finally blew the whistle, but his gesture was not to declare the goal invalid, but to point to the midfield, which was "the goal is valid"!

"You bastard!"

The Chinese players were stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened, and then they showed a ferocious look on their faces, and swarmed towards the bastard referee!

This startled the Swedish referee, and of course he turned around and ran away. It seemed that he also felt that there was a high probability of being beaten to death for this kind of behavior.

But the physical fitness of these referees is not even as good as that of Argentine players. If they can outrun the Chinese players, they will be overtaken in the blink of an eye.

"Don't be impulsive! Don't do anything!"

Lin Yaodong calmed down at this time. Seeing that his teammates surrounded the referee, he and Chen Haonan rushed forward and forced several of his dizzy teammates away.

At this time, several assistant referees, including Argentinian players who wanted to add fuel to the fire, rushed over amidst the cheers of the Argentinian fans at the scene.

Of course those referees were trying to protect the referee, but the Argentine players took the opportunity to push the Chinese players, and the whole scene instantly became chaotic!

Wu Jie did not rush to the scene. He was worried that he would be involved. He must not have any accidents at this time. But now these referees are obviously crazy. Who knows if they will take the opportunity to give him a red card?

He had just seen this low-end version of the "Hand of God". He originally thought that no matter how reluctant the referee was, a yellow card would be enough to get away with it, but in the end he underestimated the opponent's madness.
