The remaining time in the first half was only ten minutes, and both sides wanted to score a goal at this last moment to bring the lead to the second half.

The scene suddenly became intense!

First, Yue Lingxiang was tackled by the opponent's Brnovic when he was driving the ball. This foul, which was not too serious, was "reward" from the referee with a yellow card.

Before the 1998 World Cup, FIFA formulated new rules for the game. Anyone who tackles behind the scenes will play red cards - whether you tackle the person first or the ball first, you will be sent off for such dangerous moves.

Therefore, the referees are very strict when making penalty decisions. In the eleven games that have been played, the referees have presented a total of 38 yellow cards and three red cards!

(Real record of the 98 World Cup, Lao Bing, I took the record table of the game and counted each game 8 years ago...)

Among them, in the match between Bulgaria and Paraguay, Bulgarian defender Nankov was sent off with two yellow cards in one game, while Dutch talented striker Kruyvit raised his hand to beat someone because his opponent called him a rapist, and he received the second red card of this World Cup.

The winner of the third red card was South Korean forward Ha Xizhou. He became the first victim after the new rules were formulated. After 20 minutes of the game, he was sent off by a red card for the tackle behind him. The South Korean team also scored three goals in a row by the Mexican team and lost the first game.

Speaking of the South Korean team, I would like to mention that before the World Cup, as the Chinese team was highly valued, the South Korean team, which is also an Asian team, naturally received more attention. In the warm-up match before the World Cup, Yugoslavia and the United States listed it as China's substitutes, which forced Koreans touted it.

Perhaps the Koreans who were not in the same group as the Chinese team in the top ten games forgot how they were defeated by Ling Feng in the Asian Cup. Che Fangen shouted that he would reproduce the miracle of Tai Chi Tigers eliminating Italy into the quarterfinals in 1966, claiming that the Red Devils wanted to bring a surprise to the World Cup and defend the honor of Asia with the Chinese team...

Fans all over the world are too lazy to pay attention to them. North Korea was the one who eliminated Italy back then, not the current South Korea. What kind of virtue can you compare with China today?!

The Internet has become popular in this era, and a netizen’s comments on Sohu are classic:

No matter how nine lives a Tai Chi cat is, it is still a wild cat, and it cannot be tied to a tiger; South Korea is South Korea, so why are there South Korea? The second ghost is the second ghost, so why are there Goryeo? The stick is the stick, so why are there the Red Devil!

The so-called Red Devils were dyed red in the first game, and they were jumped by the opponent's Blanco, who had no temper at all. They fell into a big frog in the first game of the Goryeo Bangzi World Cup.

The shameless Che Fangen and the shameful South Korean team - South Korea is also an old customer of Asia's World Cup. Unfortunately, since they participated in the name of South Korea, they have not been able to win a game in the World Cup.

Another one is Japan. South Korea and Japan have been confirmed to hold the 2002 World Cup, but one is a team that has never won the World Cup, and the other is a team that has never participated in the World Cup. Two such countries will hold the World Cup. No matter what economic benefits the fans do, anyway, the results of these two countries in the World Cup are not qualified to hold such large-scale events!

Think about how impressive the performance of South Korea and Japan - especially South Korea in the local area was in 2002, but four years later, both teams returned to the original form - it is not that the Asian teams entered the quarterfinals for the first time in the 2002 World Cup can represent the improvement of Asian football level!

But it is enough for Koreans to get into trouble. The crazy performance of the home team in the 2002 World Cup has greatly increased the difficulties of Asian countries in bidding for the World Cup in the future - after all, no one wants to see some garbage teams defeating the popular teams who won the championship with the help of fans and referees - and they also won so shamelessly!

Shameless people are fearless. Even for the sake of Asia's reputation, Ling Feng cannot allow the 2002 World Cup to be held in South Korea!

Let's look back to the current game.

Brnovic's red card triggered a wave of dissatisfaction among Yugoslav players. Although everyone knows that yellow cards are flying all over the sky in the game that has been held, it is natural to argue about such a not-serious physical contact.

The referee will naturally not take back the signs that have been shown. There is no big problem with the yellow card, and it can also play a certain role in controlling the emotions of both sides on the court.

However, the referee from Colombia regretted it after taking out the cards.

Three minutes later, in the 40th minute of the first half, Zhao Jun made a foul while defending Stoykovic. Although he just pushed the opponent lightly from the back, the referee showed a yellow card like he was pursuing balance!

The two teams played fifty boards each, but it was obvious that the two fouls that were not very serious just now were treated by the referee, which really annoyed the players of both teams.

The experienced Ling Feng quickly pushed away his teammates who were arguing with the referee. At this time, wasn’t he seeking death by making trouble with the referee?

At the same time, Yugoslavia's Mijatovic and others also began to disperse their teammates who were fanning the flames, so that the conflict between the two teams was not aroused. Otherwise, you will know that the game between Portugal and the Netherlands in the 2006 World Cup quarterfinals.

But then, the actions of the two teams were a bit big.

The referee's yellow card did not act as a deterrent, and on the contrary, it gave the players of the two teams a rebellious mentality - anyway, a smaller move is also a card, and a bigger move is also a card - why not a bigger move?!

Lao Ma and the opponent's head coach Santrachi frowned. If this continues, the situation will be very bad - but fortunately, the first half is about to end, and I'll just give some advice to the players during the break.

However, things were not satisfactory.

When the referee raised the two-minute stoppage time sign, the Chinese team planned an attack. Yang Chen got the ball on the right and broke through hard, and passed by the defender Djonovic on the side. When he was about to make a cross, he suddenly felt a pain in his heel and then he fell to the ground!

Tackle behind the scenes!

This is an unquestionable malicious foul!

Both sides were angry because of the referee's mistake. Otherwise, when FIFA repeatedly emphasized that the foul behind the scenes would be given a red card, and Yang Chen's breakthrough just now did not create a good opportunity, Djonovic would never dare to do this under normal circumstances.

But Djonovic, who was blinded, was severely punished at this time. The referee from Colombia, Tejada, showed him a red card without hesitation!

If the foul just now was completely said that he was a tackle behind the back, it would be a bit unfair to Djonovic, because he and Yang Chen were not on the same vertical line. Although they were tackles behind him, they were not entirely behind Yang Chen - they just tackled the Chinese forward from the back.

Although such actions are malicious fouls, if FIFA does not formulate this new rule and the referee's enforcement efforts are looser, it will probably be a yellow card.

But, but, but.

Both FIFA and referees were all occupied by Djonovic, so as Yugoslavia's first player to receive a red card in this World Cup, he could only leave the court in disgrace.

Yang Chen was carried off the court for treatment. He had two minutes left in stoppage time in the first half and probably wouldn't return to the court. The free kick obtained by the Chinese team can be said to be the last chance in the first half.

The Chinese team got a corner kick with a good position - he said he was good, but because the position was not far from the goal, but because the ball was located near the sideline of the penalty area, it was almost impossible for this free kick opportunity to hit the goal directly.

Even Ling Feng, who claims to be able to score within a fan-shaped range of 40 meters from the center of the goal, from the extension line from the penalty area to the center of the circle, is probably powerless - because the position of the ball is no longer within the fan-shaped range just now, if you want to shoot directly, the angle would be too small.

Ling Feng stood in front of the ball and acted as a free throw with his right foot, which made Yugoslav players feel relieved - following the arc of this shooting, he would not directly hang the goal.

If you have a left foot, the arc can also be bypassed by the goalkeeper and hung in the far corner - just like directly scoring in a corner kick, but if the arc drawn on the instep of the right foot wants to hit the goal, it will easily fall into the goalkeeper's arms.

This is theoretical knowledge, but theoretically speaking, this ball is also possible, but it is too difficult to operate in practice.

Ling Feng glanced at the people standing in the penalty area. The average height of the Chinese team is at least five centimeters shorter than that of the opponent, and his body is not as good as that of the opponent, so there is no advantage in the high altitude ball.

Unless Ling Feng's pass position is quite accurate and directly gives the gap that the opponent's defender has not taken care of, otherwise this opportunity will definitely be wasted.

Just as Ling Feng was preparing to make a free throw, a light flashed across his mind and he immediately became calculating in his heart.

The referee blew the whistle of the free throw. Ling Feng started, swung his arms, his body leaned to the ground, and rubbed his right instep hard against the bottom of the ball!

The ball flew towards the goal in a beautiful arc!

goal?!

That's right! If the ball can continue to fly, it will be a very beautiful arc - if it is an outer arc drawn from the instep of the left foot, then the fatal point is at the end of the arc, but the fatal point of the ball is at the middle of the arc!

In mathematical terms, the goal line becomes the tangent of the arc just now, and the position of the tangent point is - the blind spot of the back point of the goal!

When defending such a free kick, the goalkeeper will stand in a relatively high position, and when he finds that the ball is actually hanging towards the gate, it is too late to move backwards.

Although Kraji tried his best to save the ball backward, he was standing too far for the ball that fell from a diagonal line from a high altitude.

The ball fell into the gate from the edge of Craj's finger that was regressing to save!

2:1! Ling Feng's shocking free kick helped the Chinese team take the lead again!

After scoring the goal, Ling Feng did not show too much surprise, but stood there and raised his hands into the air, shouting: YES!

Similar to Ling Feng's celebration of the goal just now, one is a powerful waving arm, and the other is a raising hand to the sky - but it all explains one problem, that is, before Ling Feng shot, he knew that the ball would definitely be scored!

Otherwise, he would not have shown any surprise!

The advantageous wave of arms and raising hands are all demonstrations of self-confidence!

"Ling Feng scored another goal!" The whole China heard Liu Jianhong's excited roar: "This free kick is extremely beautiful, it is a world-class free kick to score! Ling Feng! Our Ling Feng! He scored twice in the first game. He is the well-deserved first player in China!"

I was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Jianhong being excited there. It can be said that the fans in front of the TV could not hear what he was saying at this time. When the ball entered the net, a neat cheer came from the sky above the eastern hemisphere!

That was the cheers of hundreds of millions of people at the same time, and the Chinese team took the lead again!

And more importantly, Yugoslavia sent off one person, which means that in the second half, the Chinese team not only led the opponent in the score, but also had one more opponent in terms of number!

It can be said that victory is almost in front of the Chinese team!

Let's take a closer look at the goal just now.

If the position of the ball moves back ten meters, then readers will understand that in the 2002 World Cup, Ronaldo scored a classic free kick that was similar to this goal!

This ball is a reflection of the peak of technology!

The speed of the ball is not fast, it can only be said to be average - but compared to Ling Feng's powerful shot when he scored the first goal, the speed of the ball is nothing.

But what is important is the angle. The ball flies over the goalkeeper's head at the front point and hangs directly into the blind spot of the back point of the goal - so the external arc is more than twice as difficult than the internal arc!

Especially for this kind of high-falling hanging gate, the goalkeeper's height is a little different and the standing position is a little higher, which is impossible to defend.

However, if the ball is less powerful, it will be blocked by the goalkeeper at the front point. If the ball is more powerful, it will fly out of the bottom line.

The manifestation of the peak of wonder!

Within the first forty-five minutes of Ling Feng's first World Cup, he scored two extreme shots with his left foot and his right foot!

No one knows the final result of this game, but as a midfielder, Ling Feng's threat is still so powerful, which makes all the opponents of the Chinese team terrified...
Chapter completed!
