When the Dutch team launched a counterattack, the stands were filled with boos and screams from Chinese fans:

Seeing the situation in the backcourt of the Chinese team, many people can only feel despair.

However, after Hu Lai suddenly accelerated to catch up, many people regained hope in their hearts.

Xie Lan in the stands shouted excitedly: "Shovel him, son!"

Then she quickly changed her words: "Oh, don't shovel! Don't foul!"

Then he asked himself: "But can you stop it without fouling?"

She did not continue to fall into painful choices because her son gave the answer - foul!

Seeing Hu Lai reaching out and grabbing Kyrie's jersey, Xie Lan couldn't help but open his mouth wide, but no more sound came out.

She hopes that her son will succeed, but she is worried that her son will get a yellow card for her...

In the 52nd minute of the game, Hu Lai kicked Danny Drew from behind for a foul during a counterattack in the frontcourt and received a yellow card.

If you get another yellow card, you will be sent off.

Without Hu Lai, even if the Chinese team can reach overtime, how can it beat the Netherlands? Can it really be delayed to a penalty shootout?

Taking a step back, even if the Chinese team really eliminated the Dutch team in a penalty shootout, how would they defeat Italy in the semi-finals after losing Hulay?

Just when Xie Lan was thinking wildly, reality gave her a crueler blow - her son's foul did not stop the Dutch team's counterattack!

While being pulled down, Kyrie passed the football to Tesis!

The Chinese fans screamed even louder around Xie Lan.

Their screams were like a tidal wave.

When Tesis passed the football to the center, it rose.

Seeing Ding Yuanhai still guarding the middle road, he fell down.

Saw Jaden Van Bruggen miss the ball and get up again.

Until finally Robin Feeney kicked the football into the Chinese team's goal...

The tide has completely fallen.

The hearts of Chinese fans also sank to the bottom of the sea.

In the Casavalla stadium, which can accommodate 45,000 people, only the Dutch fans cheered deafeningly.

Robin Feeney, the Dutch player who scored the goal, got up from the ground, opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area, with an expression of ecstasy on his face.

Jaden van Bruggen, who missed the ball to him, also got up from the ground and chased after him.

There are many more Dutch players.

They ran all the way from the backcourt, as if they were just here to celebrate.

When the football was passed to Jaden Van Bruggen, Maxi Carey tried to get up from the ground, but he failed in his first attempt.

Because Hu Lai's hand was still holding on to his jersey... It seemed that he was afraid that he would move forward and participate in the attack.

Now he was kneeling on the ground, turned around and said to Hu Lai, who was still holding his jersey: "Stop pulling, we have all scored."

But Hu Lai, who was sitting on the ground, still didn't let go.

Kaili raised his arm again and exerted a little force, but this time he broke free easily.

Looking back at Hu Lai who was still sitting on the ground, Kaili turned around and ran away to celebrate.

In the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team, Luo Kai, who had tackled Robin Feeney but failed to prevent him from scoring, was lying on the ground, panting and his chest heaving violently.

Ding Yuanhai didn't get up either.

Lin Zhiyuan lay on the ground and turned to look at the goal. The football was indeed there. So he turned his head back again and buried his face in the turf.

When the football flew into the goal, Zhou Zijing had just ran through the center circle. When he saw the ball thrown, he stopped and stood there blankly.

Then he heard a cry of pain suddenly coming from beside him.

He turned around and looked around, and found Xia Xiaoyu not far from him. He sat down again and hugged his right leg with both hands - the same leg he had cramped just now.

After limping back, he cramped again.

Zhou Zijing quickly pressed his legs.

In front of the Dutch coach's bench on the sidelines, head coach Joseph Drost hugged his coaches. The substitute Dutch players had already left the bench in a swarm and rushed to the Chinese team's corner flag area to join their teammates on the field.

The celebration went.

They passed the Chinese team's bench which was deathly silent.

The substitute players of the Chinese team who could not help but stand and watch the game before were now either standing there dumbfounded or kneeling on the ground.

Head coach Jorge Dillon didn't say anything when he lost the ball at the last moment, maintaining the same posture as before, still standing on the sidelines.

Behind him are the coaches with their heads in their hands.

In the stands not far behind the Chinese team's bench, Wang Guangwei clenched the iron railing tightly with his hands until his knuckles turned white, making a "squeaking" sound.

Around him were the lamentations of the Chinese team staff.

In fact, he has never regretted the handball foul against England.

Because without that handball foul, the Chinese team would not even be where it is today.

But he does feel very unwilling now...

※※※

“Watch out for the Dutch team’s counterattack!”

"Hu Lai! He pulled down Kyrie! But Kyrie had already passed the football!"

"Tesis! Cross!"

"Danger! Danger!"

"Van Bruggen...leaked!!"

"Fini! Ah——"

"well!"

He Feng and Yan Kang sighed heavily at the same time when they saw the football flying into the goal.

Then He Feng remembered his responsibilities and endured the pain and said:

"The Chinese team... the Chinese team finally lost the ball... At the last moment of the game, the Dutch team counterattacked after a corner kick was taken..."

Then he felt that his throat was tight and he couldn't say much.

Everyone in front of the TV was speechless.

Every fan, even non-fans who don't usually watch football, saw this scene clearly.

If the ball is lost at this time, it will be difficult for the Chinese team to get it back.

Because... there is no time!

There was eight minutes of injury time. Logically speaking, the game should be over at 98 minutes.

Because of Xia Xiaoyu's cramp and other dead ball situations, the referee gave some additional time as appropriate.

The added time of injury time cannot be the same as the added time of regular time. Just make up as many minutes as you miss.

Basically, if you can give it two minutes, it's almost over.

Therefore, if the Chinese team concedes the ball in the 100th minute, it means that they may not even have a chance to kick off, and the game will be over.

Even if the referee did not directly blow the whistle to end the game, it is estimated that the Chinese team just kicked the football out and the game ended.

Therefore, the Chinese team is destined to lose.

"Woo..."

There were sobs in the living room.

From Jiang Yin.

When others were silent, she couldn't help but cry.

Before this World Cup, she was not a football fan and had almost never watched football games.

It can be said that it was precisely because of this World Cup that she began to gradually enter the world of football, trying to watch games and discuss football with others.

She has become a "football fan".

But as a new fan, she may not be able to accept the cruelty of the football world.

He obviously worked so hard, even though he was given a penalty kick at the last minute against England, he was still able to turn defeat into victory...

But why?

Why doesn't it work this time?

Hearing the cry, everyone turned to look at her, including Yan Yan.
To be continued...
