MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 463 dispute
Chapter 463 Controversy
The effect of the "Hawkeye Guardian Card" was immediate. Less than ten seconds after Chen Ran used it, he saw the referee Cakir change the previous penalty, show a red card to Moreno, and awarded Brazil a point ball.
This time, it was the turn of the Mexican players not to dare, and they immediately surrounded the referee to ask for an explanation.
On the sidelines, Herrera, the head coach of the Mexican team, jumped even more angrily. If he hadn't been held back by the assistant coach, he might have rushed into the field to argue with the referee.
Realizing that the situation was not good, two assistant referees also rushed into the field to help referee Kakir maintain order, and the game was forced to be interrupted.
"Judging from the slow-motion replay, Douglas Costa was indeed tackled by Moreno after entering Mexico's penalty area. Brazil should indeed be awarded a penalty."
At this time, the major broadcasting stations also immediately replayed the foul action from various angles, and the guest commentators also expressed their opinions one after another.
"There is no problem with the penalty kick. If Douglas Costa is allowed to break through, then he will directly face the goalkeeper Ochoa. From this point of view, it is also appropriate to show Moreno the red card."
"I didn't expect the referee to be so brave. His decision was changed to correct his mistake in time."
"Mexico players and head coach had better control their emotions quickly. If another card affects the subsequent games, the loss outweighs the gain."
The commentators and guests in charge of broadcasting the game can see the slow-motion replay, and naturally they can calmly accept the referee Cakir's change of judgment.
But the Mexican players and coaches in the stadium didn't know this. They would only think that the referee Cakir was favoring the host Brazil.
The result is self-evident. After the referee Cakir showed a red card to Moreno, he showed a yellow card to the two most emotional Mexican players.
And, under the reminder of the fourth official, the coach of the Mexican team, Herrera, was also sent to the stands.
After the game was interrupted for more than ten minutes, it finally resumed.
But at this time, the severely injured Mexican players have completely lost their fighting spirit.
After Kaka scored the penalty kick, the Brazilian team finally ended the game with a score of 2:0.
While the Brazilian team won two consecutive victories in the group, Chen Ran also got a "first-level chicken blood card" from the system.
In another game in this group, Croatia beat Cameroon 4:0.
In this way, the Brazilian team ranked first in this group with six points. Although Croatia and Mexico have the same three points, Croatia squeezed Mexico to third place by virtue of its goal difference.
Who can grab another place to qualify for the group depends on the result of the next direct contest between Croatia and Mexico.
Because the Brazil team defeated Croatia and Mexico respectively, it has an advantage in the relationship between victory and defeat.
So even if the Brazilian team lost to Cameroon in the last game, they can still advance to the top sixteen as the first in the group.
Although the Brazilian team secured the top spot in the group one round ahead of schedule, after the game ended, the focus of the media reporters was all on the change of sentence during the game.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think of the referee Kajier's change of sentence?"
At the press conference after the game, Chen Ran naturally couldn't escape the reporters' questioning.
"I have watched the replay of the foul just now. At least from the slow motion point of view, Mr. Kajier's change of sentence is accurate. I admire Mr. Kajir's courage to correct his mistakes."
"But Mr. Herrera, the head coach of the Mexican team, doesn't think so."
"Understandable. If I were the head coach of the Mexican team, I would also find it difficult to accept."
"But some people think that this is the preferential treatment that the Brazilian team received as the host."
"Oh? Really? Who thinks so? You can ask him to stand up, and we are here, under the witness of all journalist friends, to watch the slow-motion replay of that foul together."
On the rostrum, Chen Ran said righteously.
Seeing that no one dared to answer the question below, Chen Ran smiled slightly.
"I know that as the host, many people will inevitably question the preferential treatment of the Brazilian team. But now that technology is so advanced, everything that happens on the field will be recorded by the camera."
"If there is a serious misjudgment or omission of judgment, it will naturally not escape your eyes. Right and wrong, everyone is very clear in their hearts, so don't focus on this undisputed matter."
Ten thousand miles away in China, the video of Chen Ran's press conference was also posted on the Internet by fans.
"Good guy, I have seen what it means to fight against Confucians with words today."
"That's right. Chen Ran is so handsome when he speaks so many foreign journalists by himself."
"Haha, this guy Chen Ran has yelled at reporters at the press conference not once or twice, when have you ever seen him suffer?"
"If you put Chen Ran in Hanfu and put a goose feather fan in your hand, then Zhuge Liang will be the one who meows."
"'Football Zhuge Liang's tongue against the Confucians', I have already thought of titles for those who make short videos."
After resolving the small incident lightly, Chen Ran turned his attention to the team again.
Brazil's last opponent in the group stage, Cameroon, is a wonderful thing.
If you only look at the strength of the players, the African Lions are definitely a formidable opponent that cannot be underestimated.
With the top striker Eto'o as the arrow, coupled with Choupo Moting, Matip, Alexander Song and other strong players to assist, even if the Brazilian team encounters it, they dare not take it lightly.
But just before the start of the World Cup in Brazil, Cameroon players headed by Eto'o threatened to refuse to board the plane to Brazil because they were dissatisfied with the game bonus offered by the Cameroon Football Association.
In the end, the Cameroon Football Association made concessions and satisfied the players' demands before the farce came to an end.
However, things are far from over.
In the last round of the match between Cameroon and Croatia, Alexander Song used a Muay Thai action to elbow Croatian striker Mandzukic from behind, and was sent off by the referee with a red card.
Immediately afterwards, defender Hector had a dispute with teammate Mudekanyo and hit each other with his head. If it weren't for the other teammates, even if they rushed to separate the two sides, they might have to fight again in full view.
Cameroon's performance will not be better due to the occurrence of internal strife one after another.
After consecutive losses to Mexico and Croatia, they have been eliminated from the World Cup ahead of schedule.
Facing such a Cameroon team, Chen Ran was really happy.
Brazil's last game against Cameroon was just enough for the main players to take a good rest and let the substitute players go up to find the state of the game.
Left winger William, center Fred, right winger Douglas Costa
Central midfielder Coutinho, Central midfielder Casemiro, Central midfielder Oscar
Left back Maxwell, center back Marchinhos, center back Dante, right back Maicon
Goalkeeper Alisson
In the end, with the goals of Fred, Douglas Costa, Coutinho and Oscar, the Brazilian team beat Cameroon 4:1, which had no fighting spirit.
While winning three consecutive group matches and ranking first in the group with nine points, Chen Ran successfully advanced to the top 16. At the same time, Chen Ran also got a "first-level sight card" from the system.
In another game of this group, Mexico broke out in a life-and-death battle with Croatia, and beat Croatia 3:1, grabbing another spot in the top 16.
According to the pre-established rules, Brazil, the top team in Group A, will face Chile, the second place in Group B, in the round of 16.
Although Mexico tried their best to grab another spot in the top 16, their next opponent is the top favorite in Group B, the Dutch team.
"Good guy, the Brazilian Football Association has a master. After they enter the knockout round, they will meet Chile first. If they advance to the quarter-finals, the opponent will be between Colombia and Uruguay, and it will still be a South American team."
"If you don't tell me upstairs, I really didn't pay attention to this matter. Whether it is Chile, Colombia or Uruguay, they are not as strong as Brazil. Moreover, they are both South American teams, and they know the opponent's situation well. It seems that this move is The foreshadowing has already been laid."
"The arrangement of this schedule is really particular. If you only look at the opponents in the group, Brazil's grouping is actually not very good. Whether it is Mexico, Croatia or Cameroon, they are all second-rate teams with good strength. I thought Brazil was really impartial. , I didn’t expect the tricks to hide behind.”
"You say, such an exquisite design, is it Chen Ran's idea for the Brazilian Football Association?"
"Hey, don't tell me it's really possible. Chen Ran is so smart, the nickname 'Chicken Thief' is not for nothing."
Both South American teams, Brazil and Chile know each other very well.
Chile's Argentine coach Sampaoli knew very well that his team was not as strong as Brazil's, so he also decisively adopted the method of Mexican coach Herrera - put the bus.
Forward Vargas, Forward Sanchez
Central midfielder Dias, Central midfielder Vidal, Central midfielder Arangis
Left back Mena, center back Hara, center back Medel, center back Silva, right back Isla
Goalkeeper Bravo
As for the Brazilian team, after the rest of the last game, the consumption of the main players in the first two games has been fully recovered.
Facing Chile, the knockout opponent, Chen Ran unreservedly dispatched the entire main lineup.
Left forward Neymar, center Diego Costa, right forward Hulk
Front midfielder Kaka
The midfielder Fernandinho, the midfielder Ramirez
Left back Marcelo, center back Thiago Silva, center back David Luiz, right back Alves
Goalkeeper Cesar
The Chilean team did even more extreme than Mexico. From the first minute of the game, except for the two forwards Vargas and Sanchez, all other players shrank to defend in their own half.
Once you get the ball, immediately kick to the front and look for two forwards to fight back.
The entire counterattack process basically depends on Vargas and Sanchez. Whether a shot can be formed depends on their personal performance, and other players do not even participate in the counterattack.
Seeing this situation, Chen Ran on the sidelines could only curl his lips helplessly.
Although he had long been mentally prepared for the bad game, he still couldn't help frowning after seeing the performance of the Chilean team.
At this time, he missed the high center forwards of Crystal Palace very much.
Throughout the first half of the game, the Brazilian team was looking for space around the Chilean penalty area.
But the Chilean team united as one, abruptly blocked the Brazilian team's wave after wave of attacks.
Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the score on the field remained at 0:0 without any change.
Intermission, Brazil locker room.
After experiencing the Mexico game, the emotions of the players have not been affected much this time.
Chen Ran is already used to this kind of situation.
In the middle and late stages of his coaching of Crystal Palace, most opponents would use the tactics of placing a bus to deal with Crystal Palace. It is common for the first half of the game to fail to open the situation.
So, Chen Ran is not in a hurry.
He turned on the system silently, used a "free kick master card" for Neymar, and used "a first-level sight card" for Diego Costa.
"Diego, you hit more goals in the second half of the game. I think your shots today feel good."
"Really? Boss, you think so too?"
Diego Costa didn't expect Chen Ran to call his name suddenly, and he still asked him to shoot more.
This was exactly what he wanted, and Diego Costa immediately felt that the boss understood him, so he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
Chen Ran nodded to Diego Costa with a smile, and then said to the other players of the Brazilian team:
"In the second half of the game, you can increase the number of breakthroughs with the ball near the penalty area of the Chilean team. Even if you can't create a shooting opportunity, you can also create a free kick so that Neymar can play his strengths, understand?"
"Okay, boss."
"Understood, boss."
As for the Chilean team, coach Sampaoli is very satisfied with the current progress of the game.
His plan is to drag the game to a penalty shootout.
Kicking a penalty kick, the variables can be big.
No matter how big the star is, there is no guarantee that a penalty kick will be scored.
So, apart from encouraging the Chilean players to make persistent efforts, Sampaoli also did not make substitution adjustments.
After the start of the second half, the situation on the field was still the same as that of the first half. The Brazilian team stormed around the penalty area of the Chilean team.
It's just that the players of the Brazilian team seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, one by one desperately dribbling the ball to break through the Chilean team's penalty area.
After several sabotages by the Chilean team, when Neymar finally dribbled the ball in and broke through, because Neymar was too fast, the defender's foot that was going to tackle the ball hit Neymar's leg.
"Beep!"
The referee blew his whistle without hesitation.
