Chapter 234 Li Mingyu's free kick lore?
The referee quickly ran to the sidelines, there was a TV screen, the referee put on the earphones, and said, "I'm here, I can play it!"
The video assistant referee replayed the scene where Messi hit Li Mingyu with a free kick just now in slow motion.
In this replay, the referee clearly saw that when Li Mingyu jumped up, the left hand used to cover his face slightly left his body, and the football that flew over happened to hit this hand.
However, such a ball depends entirely on the referee's thought.
If the referee awards a penalty kick, there is no objection, because Li Mingyu's arm has left his body, just blocking the trajectory of the football.
But if the referee doesn't award a penalty kick, it makes sense, because Li Mingyu's opening of his arms is very small, and if the referee thinks that Li Mingyu is unconscious, he can ignore it.
However, after watching the replay three more times, the referee took off his headphones.
The eyes of the whole world were on the referee.
The referee drew a square in front of him with a serious face, and then pointed his right hand firmly into the penalty area of the Spanish team.
What the hell!
Really a penalty!
Li Mingyu, who was waiting for the verdict in the restricted area, looked shocked, and put his head in his hands, unable to believe it was true.
The players of the Spanish team rushed to the referee, hoping that he could give an explanation.
The Argentine players have already started high-fiving each other.
Unexpectedly, there would be such a gift from heaven!
Thank you Li Mingyu for the gift package.
The referee waved his hand to get all the players of the Spanish team out of the way. He walked up to Li Mingyu, took out a topaz God of War card, and gestured to Li Mingyu.
It seems that the referee decided that when Li Mingyu took off just now, he consciously reached out to block Messi's shot, so he awarded a small package of Topaz God of War Card + penalty kick.
Looking at the stern and selfless chief referee, Li Mingyu said that he could not make the other party change the penalty even if he broke his mouth. Moreover, seeing the chief referee's face getting worse and worse, Li Mingyu wisely left the moment before the chief referee was about to continue drawing cards.
Messi held the football and came to the Spanish penalty area.
Free kicks turned into penalties, closer to goal, and no more walls.
Messi put the football on the penalty spot, pursed his lips, with a very serious expression on his face.
For Argentina, this penalty is simply life-saving.
If the goal is scored, the two sides will come to the same starting line again. For Argentina, it can stabilize morale very well.
But if the goal is not scored, then for Argentina, morale will suffer a serious blow.
For Messi, that is even greater pressure. This is his last World Cup, and he has now entered the final, only one step away from the Hercules Cup.
Spanish goalkeeper De Gea opened his arms and stared at Messi.
In this world, when it comes to taking penalty kicks, Messi is definitely one of the best.
Messi looked at De Gea calmly, and De Gea was also observing Messi's body language, judging in which direction Messi might kick.
A penalty kick is actually a battle of wits and courage between the penalty shooter and the goalkeeper.
It's a very subtle aura.
One of the world's top goalkeepers once said that when I was saving a penalty kick, as long as I met the opponent's eyes, I basically knew which direction he would kick.
Therefore, in many cases, the person who takes the penalty kick basically does not meet the goalkeeper's eyes.
People who dare to meet the goalkeeper's eyes are basically players who are very confident in themselves.
Like Messi.
Messi has been observing De Gea since he put the ball, hoping to use his eyes or body language to make De Gea make a mistake in judgment.
The referee responsibly informed De Gea of the ban on moving his feet in advance. De Gea nodded, but his eyes were always on Messi.
The referee retreated to the side of the penalty area, looked carefully at De Gea, and blew his whistle.
Messi took two steps forward, flicked his left ankle, and pushed the football to De Gea's right side.
And De Gea judged the wrong direction, and could only watch helplessly as the football scored into the goal behind him.
Looking at Messi running wildly, the Argentine fans in the audience lit the Lusail Landmark Stadium again.
3:3 level.
It can be said that this is the most exciting World Cup final in so many years.
Not only were there enough goals, but the players on both sides did not play conservatively. It was a rare confrontation.
De Gea fished the ball out of the goal and drove it to the midfield with a big foot, in order to vent his depression.
Li Mingyu also shook his head, heck, he really didn't handball it on purpose, but when he saw the ball hit his face, he subconsciously raised his arm. Who knew, he was actually awarded a penalty by the referee.
The two sides drew 3:3. After the re-kick-off, the Argentine team's offensive was still very fierce, but it was no longer as determined as when it was behind.
Messi's connection in the frontcourt gave Argentina a slight lead.
Although Li Mingyu's high fever had almost subsided, his slightly weak legs made him really powerless with some balls.
The Spanish team's defense was very tenacious, and they were more resolute in double-teaming Messi, which put the Argentine team's offense in trouble.
The two sides had offense and defense with each other, until No. 705 minutes, the two sides have not been able to break the deadlock again.
The head coaches of both sides also began to deploy troops at this time.
Enrique thought about it again and again, but he still didn't win Li Mingyu. In such an important match, Enrique didn't want Li Mingyu to leave regrets.
Enrique replaced the cramped Fati with Ferran Torres.
Due to Fati's injury last season, he underwent a partial meniscus removal surgery on his knee. Although the operation was very successful, it still had an impact on Fati.
After Fati was replaced, he did not return to the bench, but stood beside the head coach, watching every move on the field nervously.
Fati, who is half a year younger than Li Mingyu, is ecstatic that he can participate in the World Cup final.
Seeing that his team had a chance to win the Hercules Cup, Fati couldn't hold back his inner excitement.
After the head coaches of both sides changed, the playing style of both sides suddenly became conservative.
After all, it is the last 15 minutes. At this time, if one side loses the ball, it will definitely be fatal.
The head coaches and players of both sides understand this very well, so basically, the substitutions are all counter-position substitutions. It is necessary to maintain the physical balance of each position, and there cannot be a sudden collapse of a position.
The fans in the audience and the fans in front of the TV were equally excited.
In 15 minutes, perhaps the champion of this World Cup will be born.
Fans from both sides in the stands sang their national anthems loudly, cheering for the players below.
On the court, whether it is Argentina or Spain, they cherish the control of the ball very much. If there is no chance, I would rather give up this offensive opportunity than hand over the ball at will.
After all, as long as the football is always under your feet, then the opponent cannot have any chance.
Time passed slowly, and fans all over the world were waiting. Judging by this, the possibility of overtime will be very high.
The fourth official took out a sign indicating that there were 3 minutes of stoppage time in the second half.
The Spanish team finally controlled the ball, and Li Mingyu firmly controlled the football in the midfield.
Moreover, the Argentine players did not dare to rush forward, for fear of losing their defensive position.
Two minutes passed, and it was the last minute countdown.
The referee kept looking at his watch.
Li Mingyu was also slowly calculating the time in his heart. He planned to take a shot and try to see if he had the luck of a lore before the attack time ran out.
However, Li Mingyu did not let the Argentine team feel the coming of the killing intent.
Li Mingyu kept cooperating with Pedri on the wing, and the Argentine players didn't go out, just stood there waiting for the end of the game.
The referee has already put the whistle in his mouth, and it is estimated that there is not much time left.
After Li Mingyu received Pedri's cross pass, he suddenly pulled the ball away, shaking the careless Paredes away, and then Li Mingyu quickly moved forward.
This sudden ups and downs stunned the Argentine fans who were already waiting for overtime.
Messi, who was some distance away from Li Mingyu, shouted in shock, "Quick, guard against him!"
The Argentine team's defense all rushed towards Li Mingyu.
Although Li Mingyu's attack was sudden, the Argentine team's defensive formation was not in chaos.
This is equivalent to Li Mingyu challenging the entire defense line of Argentina alone.
After Li Mingyu rushed forward two steps, he immediately raised his foot and shot from a long distance.
However, before the guards used their bodies to block the guns, Li Mingyu staggered and fell directly to the ground.
"Oh no!"
Off the field, the Argentine coach kicked a mineral water bottle in a fit of exasperation.
At this time, the 3 minutes of stoppage time have actually arrived.
However, due to a foul by the Argentine team, this is a free kick in the front court. The referee will blow the whistle for the end of the game after the free kick will be given to the Spanish team.
This gave the Spanish team a chance to beat the Argentine team!
All the players of the Argentine team surrounded the referee. They believed that Li Mingyu was suspected of flopping the ball, and the time for the game was up. The referee should announce the end of the game in 10 minutes.
But the referee ignored the appeal of the Argentine players, and not only resolutely awarded a free kick, but also turned two yellows into one red. Paredes, who already had a topaz Ares card, was directly sent off the field by the referee.
For the Argentine team, this is simply worse.
Even if the Spanish team did not score this goal, then in the next 10 minutes of overtime, the Argentine team will play ten to ten.
However, the Argentines can't think so far. They must ensure that the goal is not scored, so that they have a chance for overtime.
Li Mingyu picked up the football and stood on the penalty spot with a firm expression.
This position is directly facing the goal, and the distance from the goal is about 35 meters.
For Li Mingyu, this distance has already entered his range.
The Argentine team lined up a six-man wall, blocking almost all of the front.
However, the Argentine team paid great attention to the defense of other Spanish players. After all, as a veteran of tactical free kicks, they were naturally afraid that Li Mingyu would give them a countermeasure and return him.
Li Mingyu retreated twelve or thirteen meters. It seemed that Li Mingyu was going to use his powerful free kick to end the game.
Faced with such an opportunity, even Li Mingyu couldn't help his heart beating wildly.
As long as I can score this goal, I will become a hero, beat Argentina and win the Hercules Cup.
What a wonderful script this is!
Li Mingyu stood on the spot and made two vertical jumps to tense up the muscles in his legs.
If it was the past, Li Mingyu could be said to be more than [-]% sure of this kind of ball.
But today, with my slightly weak legs, my chance of lore has been greatly reduced.
The referee spent nearly half a minute to make the actions of the players on both sides in the penalty area more civilized.
With the crisp whistle of the referee, the whole world fell silent.
Whether Li Mingyu can kill Argentina with a direct free kick and help Spain win the Hercules Cup again depends on the next few seconds.
No one would have known in advance how difficult these few seconds were for these two teams.
Li Mingyu started running in small steps.
The fans in the stands all held their breath and put their hands together, either praying that the ball must be scored, or praying that the ball must never be scored.
God: I'm so hard!
Ronaldo in the box did not expect this game to be so dramatic.
At the last moment, there may be a lore goal. This is a real lore goal. Regardless of whether the goal can be scored, the referee will directly blow the whistle to end the game.
The Argentine team can only desperately defend this shot before they can have a chance to play overtime.
Seeing Li Mingyu's familiar pace, Ronaldo showed a strange expression.
This young man not only knows his own stunts, but also learns Robert Carlos' free kicks in a decent way.
If Li Mingyu's strong free kick was kicked with his left foot, it would really be exactly the same as Roberto Carlos.
From small steps to high-speed running, Li Mingyu was getting closer and closer to the position of football, and the hearts of fans all over the world were raised.
Argentine goalkeeper Damian Martinez was the most nervous man on the pitch.
