Chapter 1986 Upper Half District

When the Chinese team was preparing for the match against the Netherlands, FIFA's final penalty for Wang Guangwei's intentional handball foul also came out.

The English media have been calling for additional punishment for Wang Guangwei before, and some idiots in China are following suit.

In their view, just a red card suspension for one game is too light for Wang Guangwei, and it is not enough to achieve the purpose of punishment.

They gave a lot of reasons for additional punishment, such as Wang Guangwei’s handball foul was serious and had a bad impact. If the punishment is not severe, more people will follow Wang Guangwei’s example in the future and use their hands to interfere with shooting... blah blah blah.

What else is there that Wang Guangwei did not return to the locker room in time after being sent off, but stayed outside the player tunnel, which is a blatant defiance of the rules...etc.

But in the end, the penalty given by FIFA was that without any additional penalty, Wang Guangwei would be suspended in the quarter-finals in accordance with the red card suspension for one game.

This penalty result means that if the Chinese team can pass the Dutch team again and reach the semi-finals, Wang Guangwei can come back.

But in theory, this is the case, but it is too difficult to actually do it...

Apart from the fact that there are fans in YY, there is actually no discussion within the Chinese national team that Wang Guangwei will be suspended for several games.

If they can't make it through the Netherlands, it doesn't matter if Wang Guangwei is suspended for a few games.

Even if Wang Guangwei is suspended for ten games, he can disappear one game at a time in the next national team games. As long as it is not suspended for ten games in the World Cup, it will have almost no impact...

They care more about the ongoing World Cup.

After a one-day truce, the World Cup resumed.

The quarter-finals of the upper half were fully kicked off on the same day.

Uruguay, who eliminated Germany in the quarter-finals, faced host Portugal and failed to go any further this time.

Portugal beat Uruguay cleanly 2-0 at home without giving the opponent any chance to struggle.

Next is the match between the French team and the Brazilian team.

※※※

Ismail Kamara appeared on the left side of the pitch.

He switched from the right to the left, hoping to create a murderous opportunity.

From the end of the 90-minute game, with more than ten minutes left, the French team fell behind the Brazilian team with a score of 1:2.

The French team must first score a goal and equalize the score before they can consider reversing things.

In order to get more opportunities, Kamara frequently changed positions on the court.

After pulling to the left, he moved to the middle again, and then retreated in the ribs to respond.

The teammate came up from behind with the ball, and when he was close to him, he passed the football to him, and then continued to go forward, trying to cooperate with him in a two-on-one wall.

At this time, the Brazilian player Dudu Carlos, who went up to defend Kamara, was also preventing this situation, so he did not rush directly behind Kamara, but leaned slightly to Kamara's right hand. In this way, if Kamara passes the football horizontally to his forward teammate, Dudu Carlos still has a chance to destroy the pass.

Even if he can't break the pass, he can chase back in time and assist his teammates to complete the defense.

Unexpectedly, Kamara didn't pass the ball, but after realizing Dudu Carlos' position, he suddenly stopped the football with his right foot to his left!

At the same time, he quickly turned around and cut across, took a big step, protected the football with his body, and accepted Kabanka's collision!

Both of them staggered a little, but Kamara still managed to control the football with his feet and hooked the ball in front of him.

Kabangka did not give up after the first collision was unsuccessful, and continued to stretch his feet, trying to steal the ball.

The two entangled twice, and Kamara hooked the football to his left foot, protecting the ball with his body, so that Kabanka had no chance to steal the ball.

After adjusting his body orientation, Kamara took the football forward.

Behind him, Kabanka is still chasing after him.

And directly in front of him, there are two Brazilian players intercepting, one is Dudu Carlos who defended him just now, and the other is central defender Tavares Kayo who rushed forward to defend.

The two of them are trying to close the door and defend.

Seeing this situation, Kamara suddenly accelerated and moved the football forward!

Then turned on the nitrogen acceleration switch.

Kabangka, who was behind him, wanted to reach out to grab him, but he stretched out his hand, but he didn't catch anyone... He ran away early!

After passing between two Brazilians who hadn't had time to close the door completely, Camara sped to the ball.

At the same time, the defenders of the Brazilian team also rushed to grab the ball.

They seem to be closer to football.

But it was Kamala who hit the ball first!

Of course, when Kamara touched the ball, he had almost no room to hold the ball again-right in front of him, there were two Brazilian players, and behind him was Tavares Kayo who was chasing back.

As long as he stops the football, he will immediately fall into a three-team.

But Kamara didn't stop the ball!

He jumped up and pulled the football back with his left foot, while turning his body in the air, and when he turned his back to the attacking direction, he knocked the football back with the heel of his right foot!

The football ran past the Brazilian defender Jose Amorim, who intercepted him from the front, and passed to the space diagonally behind him!

"pretty!"

Huge cheers erupted from the stands and commentary booth.

In the direction of Kamara's pass, it was Mendy Paye who went forward!

I saw him adjust his pace, and directly swung his right leg to face the rolling football!

Shoot!

The football goes straight to the far corner!

Brazil goalkeeper Victor Lemos made a hasty save but missed the ball!

The football slipped past his fingertips, made an arc, and rushed to the back corner!

Everyone's hearts were lifted up.

Then their wide-eyed eyes saw the football scrape the outside of the back post...and roll off the line!

"Ah-ahhh! My God! Paye didn't score this goal! Oops! This is just... ridiculous! Unbelievable! What a perfect series of Kamara's previous performances! Mendy Paye, Gate Di Payer...it's demoralizing to miss an opportunity like this!"

After Kamara passed the ball, he expected Paye to kick the football in. Seeing this scene, he knelt down on his knees and hugged his head.

Paye, you are too pursuing the angle! If you want to kick the far corner, rub the football up and hit the top corner!

After following Hu Lai for a long time, even Kamara himself can see some clues of shooting...

After Payye shot, he turned his head to pay attention to the football.

After seeing the football deflected from the post, he also held his head in his hands, ran two steps, knelt down on the turf, and then fell down.

He also knew what a good opportunity he had missed...

So he didn't even have the face to face Kamara who passed the ball to him, and he didn't even have the face to face his teammates.

It can be said that Kamara has done all the work that can be done before shooting, launching an attack with the ball, attracting the opponent's defensive attention, and sending a wonderful pass...

Payet really just needs to shoot.

And he ran into the space at that time, and there was no interference from any Brazilian players around him. He had enough time to adjust his pace and take a shot...

Such a good condition, but he pushed the bottom line with one kick!

He himself knew that this mistake was simply unforgivable.

"competition is over!"

With three whistles, the Brazilian players cheered and raised their hands, running on the pitch to celebrate.

The French players slumped on the turf, staring blankly at the celebrating Brazilian players.

The telecast also featured a close-up of France captain Mendy Payet.

In the camera, he is sitting on the turf with his hands on his knees and his eyes are blank.

The French team reached the semi-finals in the World Cup in the United States and Canada four years ago, and finally defeated Belgium in the third and fourth finals and won the third place.

As a result, in this World Cup, they stopped in the quarterfinals.

This result is really surprising, because in terms of team strength, it may be even stronger than it was four years ago.

At least four years ago the French team did not have Ismail Camara.

As a result, the stronger French team was not as good as the last World Cup...

In fact, Mendy Payet's performance is not as good as it was four years ago.

The long-term insistence on staying in Ligue 1, a relatively less competitive place, limited Payet's performance.

He also finally paid the price for his stubbornness and stubbornness.

"...I think the French team should realize that the future of French football belongs to Ismail Kamara, a twenty-three-year-old young man who should be the core of this team. And Mendy Payet, The era of his national team has come to an end..."

Instead of comforting the heartbroken French player, the commentator criticized mercilessly.

To do so seems very unsympathetic.

In previous games, everyone would comfort the losing side more or less.

But who let the failure of this game be caused by the French team itself.

If Mendy Payet had seized that chance, France could at least have pushed the game into extra time.

The equalized side will have a better state, and the equalized side will be in chaos.

But unfortunately, Paye failed to seize this opportunity.

The French team also lost heart.

In the remaining ten minutes of the game, their counterattack was feeble and disorganized.

It can only rely on individual performance to fight against the entire Brazilian team.

Mendy Payet also failed to save the team at the last minute.

After this game, Paye will definitely receive a lot of criticism, and he may have to seriously consider whether to continue to stay in Paris Eger.

Although he is thirty years old, as long as he is willing to change, it is not impossible to go abroad at the age of thirty.

Besides, with his ability, there are still many rich teams that want him, but it may be difficult for him to get the core guarantee.

The broadcast turned the close-up on Ismail Kamara again.

He knelt on the ground, didn't cry~lightnovelpub.net~ just watched the scene in front of him in a daze.

"Camara is the most outstanding player of this French team in this World Cup. He is also the future of the French team. We look forward to him leading the French team to comeback in the World Cup in China four years later!"

Facing Kamala, the narrator is much gentler.

Thus ended the two quarter-finals in the top half.

Portugal beat Uruguay, while Brazil knocked out France to reach the semi-finals.

These two historically well-connected teams met in the semi-finals to start another "father-son derby" in this World Cup.

The last "father and son derby" was between England and the United States.

What? Why do you say that the United States and South Korea are not "father-son derby"?

Don't be funny, it's not a matter of seniority, the species are all messed up.

PS, I watched "The Wandering Earth" 2 last night, it's really super invincible and beautiful!

I strongly urge friends who haven't seen it yet to go to the cinema to support a movie ticket!
