After Hu Lai scored, Vesuvius' home stadium, the Southern Stadium, fell into silence and relative calm for about a second.
Then huge boos came overwhelmingly.
Vesuvius fans believed that the goal was offside and the referee should not have ruled the goal valid.
At the very least, you should communicate with the video referee team before this, watch the video replay, and then decide whether the ball is valid.
But as soon as the football flew into the net, the referee turned around firmly and pointed his finger at the center circle - this was a valid gesture for scoring a goal.
Vesuvius fans thought that the referee was deliberately favoring the away team: Please confirm it!
But this is 2034, and football has developed so far that some penalties are no longer judged with such primitive technologies and methods.
For example, "offside", which was the most controversial issue in the past, is now easy to get a relatively accurate and non-controversial result through technical means.
Just like this ball.
When Hu Lai and his teammates celebrated the goal, the TV broadcast and the large screen on the scene simultaneously issued a technical judgment on whether the ball was offside.
Through multiple high-definition cameras, as well as communication between the built-in chip of the football and the signal receivers at various locations on the stadium, the computer's artificial intelligence can quickly complete the judgment of whether it is offside, and can also quickly complete the real-time dynamic animation of the stadium.
Construction, the generated animation appears in the broadcast signal for the first time.
At the moment when Vukovich passed the ball, the body projections of Hu Lai and Vesuvius' young center back Giuseppe Giordano were completely on the same line.
Then the animation was enlarged ten times, and only then did everyone see clearly that the projection of Hu Lai's body was actually a little behind the projection of Giordano's body, but only a little.
In fact, there is no problem with overlapping.
This scene makes anyone who knows a little bit about the offside rules see it and know that it is not offside.
Not only is it not offside, it also shows that Hu Lai's grasp of running positions is extremely good.
It's like using a ruler to block movement.
"It's not offside! It's really not offside! There's nothing wrong with this ball!"
This offside judgment technology has been used in the competition systems of UEFA and FIFA for almost four years. The technology is mature and has been accepted by players and fans.
So when faced with the penalty result given by artificial intelligence, even Vesuvius fans were speechless.
Giordano, who was still a little unconvinced, looked up at the animation results shown on the big screen, held his head in his hands, and pulled his hair in pain.
In fact, he should have kept pace with Wang Guangwei. When Wang Guangwei made a sudden charge, he would press forward.
In this case, Hu Lai must be in an offside position.
But at that time, he was so preoccupied with paying attention to Hu Lai that he neglected to keep pace with his partner.
Of course, this is also because he is still young and lacks some experience.
Wang Guangwei saw Giordano sinking into self-blame and did not blame him.
He just sighed.
This is why it’s so hard to guard against bullies…
No one makes mistakes.

When Hu Lai scored, Madrid Pirates head coach Parotti on the coaching bench was not as excited as the Madrid Pirates players on the bench.
The calm expression on his face is so striking that one might even think that he is the head coach of the team that lost the ball...
In the same shot, Tommaso Renzetti, the head coach of Vesuvius next door, bared his teeth and seemed to be smiling at first glance.
But in fact, Renzetti was already heartbroken, and his expression was not a smile, but a "mask of pain."
On the contrary, Parotti's calmness is truly peaceful.
He Feng saw this scene and joked: "As expected of Parotti, he is used to seeing all kinds of big scenes. Similar to today's scene, he has seen it many times when he coached the pirates in the past. It's far away
If not, let’s talk about the Champions League quarter-finals two weeks ago...haha!"
In fact, over the years, some people have really studied whether Parotti's calmness comes from his strong heart or whether it is an act.
Parotti's calmness has also become a meme on the Internet.
There aren't many moments when he can lose his composure.
From conceding the goal in the opening minutes, to falling behind by two goals, to chasing two goals in a row to equalize the score, Parotti maintained a calm expression throughout.
It was as if everything was as he expected.
After Hu Lai equalized the score, the Vesuvius players were a little panicked. After all, they basically couldn't accept the result that the two-goal lead was gone.
Faced with this scene, Parotti still stood on the sidelines with a calm expression and did not make any instructions or adjustments.
Doesn't he know how to take advantage of victory and pursue it?
of course I know.
The reason he didn't do anything was because he knew his players knew what to do.
Because most of the Madrid Pirates players on the field now are "old guys" who have played with him for many years, their tacit understanding with each other is not only reflected on the field.
So everyone used Parotti's "calmness" or "sluggishness" as a hindrance, but never thought that the reason why Parotti rarely waved his arms and yelled at the sidelines to direct the game may be because he and his players
He has a clear understanding of the situation, and many times what he has to do and say, the players on the field will naturally know how to play.
This also increases concealment and can catch the opponent by surprise.
This is actually why Parotti "favors" older players so much.
Because these old guys can really reduce his management costs significantly, and he doesn't need to worry about it.
Just imagine, after leading such a team, how could anyone not rely on these veterans?
Madrid Pirates, who are full of veterans, performed poorly in marathon events such as the league, and the performance of the old guys was also criticized a lot.
But in a competition like the Champions League, which is similar to a "cup match", the experience and composure of the old guys can actually help them stabilize the situation, and then use their rich experience to seize the opponent's flaws.
After equalizing the score, the Madrid Pirates stepped up their offensive, making it seem like they were the ones playing at home...
The real home team Vesuvius could only shrink its defense and performed in a very embarrassing manner.
"king!"
The Italian commentator exclaimed.
What made him scream was Wang Guangwei. He decisively chose to tackle before Hu Lai's kick, and shoveled the football out of the baseline first.
Although the Madrid Pirates were given a corner kick, all the Vesuvius fans and Italian commentators were cheering for him.
Because if he didn't give Madrid Pirates a corner kick, the opponent might have scored.
How much courage and courage does it take to make a decisive tackle in your own penalty area, but your opponent is still a fool?
Just as Wang Guangwei shoveled the football away, Hu Lai's foot came over and kicked him in the leg.
Then he screamed in surprise and fell to the ground.
Although Wang Guangwei was in pain himself, when he turned around and saw Hu Lai shouting on the ground, he was so angry that he ignored his own pain and said "greetings" in his hometown dialect:
"You call me a hammer! I'm the one who gets kicked!"
Hu Lai still held his toes with his hands, bared his teeth and frowned: "You are so stupid that you don't know how to sneer at each other?!"
Wang Guangwei didn't give him a chance to continue his performance. He turned over directly, put his hands on Hu Lai's arms, and pulled him up from the ground: "Hammer! Don't pretend! I don't know you idiot..."
"Pretend to be a shovel, it really hurts me!"
Hu Lai said as he limped slowly away from Wang Guangwei.
Behind him, Wang Guangwei made a successful defense and was praised by everyone, but the expression on his face was not relaxed at all.
The Madrid Pirates' offensive is getting stronger and stronger. He was lucky enough to defend Hu Lai this time, but there is no guarantee that he will be able to successfully defend the opponent every time in the following games.
It turns out that with a two-goal lead, all the players on the team can still maintain a relatively good mentality.
Now tied with Madrid Pirates, most people's mentality is wrong, and mistakes will definitely increase.
Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible not to continue to lose the ball.
Wang Guangwei can only hope that he and his teammates can work hard to maintain the 2:2 score until the end of the first half.
Then use the halftime break to allow the head coach to make effective responses and adjustments, while also allowing him and his teammates to take a breath and relieve their anxiety and tension.
※※※
Vesuvius took a two-goal lead in the 16th minute of the game. Twelve minutes later, in the 28th minute, Farias helped Madrid Pirates get a goal back.
By the time Hu Lai helped the team equalize the score, it was the 38th minute of the game, exactly ten minutes later.
At this time, it was actually not far from the end of the first half.
Vesuvius didn't need to hold out for long before he could enter the intermission and get a chance to breathe.
Without anyone reminding them, the Madrid Pirates players knew what the Vesuvius players wanted to do.
Whatever the enemy wants to do, it must not be allowed to happen.
This is a "truth" in the game.
At the last moment of the first half, the Madrid Pirates stepped up their offensive and once overwhelmed Vesuvius, both in terms of football and players, and could not even make it past halftime.
The Vesuvius fans in the stands continued to boo to put pressure on the Madrid Pirates players who took the ball.
As a result, the boos above the Southern Stadium never stopped.
Especially when Farias got the ball, the boos in the stands were particularly loud.
If Farias fails to dribble past a defender or makes a mistake in handling the ball, the boos will quickly turn into laughter.
Just like this time.
He dribbled the ball and tried to cut in from the wing, but because his intention was too obvious, when he was cutting in, the Vesuvian midfielder Montero, who came to specifically defend him, took a kick and destroyed it.
The moment the football was stabbed away by Montero, huge roars of laughter rang out over the Southern Stadium.
The football that was poked fell at the feet of Hu Lai - Hu Lai, who was originally in the penalty area, pulled out of the penalty area and intercepted the football that was poked by Montero.
The laughter quickly turned to catcalls.
Hu Lai, who was being booed, passed the football to Joaquin Vela and then made a diagonal run.
At the same time, he also made a gesture to signal Bella to pass the ball over again.
Joaquín Vela did not hesitate and directly sent the diagonal plug, looking for Hu Lai.
Hu Lai, who crossed into the penalty area, looked back at the football while running.
Wang Guangwei quickly followed up and got stuck on the inside, preventing Hu Lai from getting a chance to kick.
If Hu Lai wanted to force a shot, he would block it immediately.
Sure enough, he saw Hu Lai raising his right leg while running, as if he was going to shoot directly with his right foot.
Wang Guangwei didn't dare not be on guard, but he still had a trick up his sleeve.
He uses his body to block the position, so that when he extends his legs, he does not have to throw all his weight out, leaving room for adjustment and maneuvering.
Sure enough, Hu Lai's right foot was just a fake shot, not a real shot. When his right foot came down, he dunked the football to the left.
Wang Guangwei immediately stopped and turned around, getting ready to continue intercepting.
But the football did not roll over, but was knocked back again by Hu Lai's left foot!
Then Hu Lai took a lunge step to the right!
In this way, the distance between him and Wang Guangwei was instantly opened, and then he raised his right leg again...this time for real!
Shoot!
Peng!
Wang Guangwei turned around in a hurry, and it was too late to block the shot. He just heard a muffled sound in his ears, and the football rushed past him and headed towards the near corner of the goal!
Vesuvius goalkeeper Jakob Persson was also stunned by Hu Lai's fake move just now. Facing Hu Lai's powerful, heavy and decisive shot, he did not fully react.
Although he made a save, he was unable to completely block the angle.
When he rushed over, the football had already flown from his hands into the upper corner of the goal!
Both goalkeepers Persson and Wang Guangwei looked at the football spinning in the goal with painful eyes.
Not only did they fail to maintain their two-goal lead in the first half, they even fell behind!
