Chapter 294 Rejecting penalty kicks to be respected
After receiving the European Golden Boy Award and thanking their parents, coaches, teammates, and fans, Paul and Ever Woodrow exited the stadium, and players from both sides began to enter for pre-match warm-ups.
At 22:00 in the evening on December 21, 2012, with the referee's whistle, the match between Atletico Madrid and Celta Vigo in the 17th round of the 2012/2013 La Liga season was officially announced in the cheers of more than 50,000 fans at the Calderon Stadium.
start.
This game is also Atletico Madrid's last game at the end of the year in 2012. After this game, we will have a holiday and enter the winter break. European and American players can spend Christmas with their families at ease, and Qiao Anchen can also go back to China to see him on New Year's Day.
Parents.
My parents have been supervising the construction and decoration of the new house at home. It has been completed a long time ago. It has been airy and open for two or three months and is ready for move-in.
Qiao Anchen planned to go back and stay for a few days, then pick up his parents and return to Spain together.
Although Celta defeated Real Madrid 2-1 in the first leg of the Copa del Rey 1/8 finals, their overall strength is actually weak and they are currently only ranked 15th in the La Liga standings, ahead of last place Deportivo Deportivo.
Asia only scored 3 points.
At the same time, Celta Vigo has lost 7 of its 8 away games this season, while Atletico currently maintains a winning record at home.
In addition, Joan Chen's suspension has ended. In this game, Falcao and Diego Costa once again started with the three forwards, and their offensive power was off the charts.
Such a huge gap in strength made Celta Vigo unsurprisingly choose to defend at the Calderon Stadium, thinking that as long as they maintained a draw and scored 1 point, it would be a victory.
But would Atletico Madrid agree?
Not to mention that Atletico Madrid lost to Barcelona in the last league game and the top spot was repositioned. Now they are not allowed to lose points. Just a three-game ban, Qiao Anchen, who is holding back his energy to continue scoring goals and continuing to set new records, is not Atletico Madrid.
Erta can withstand it.
In particular, Qiao Anchen's shooting power has been increased to 100 full value. Even if Celta Vigo couldn't defend, even if it was still snowing in the sky, and the venue environment was not ideal, Qiao Anchen still quickly broke through Celta's goal.
In the 18th minute, Qiao Anchen received a pass from his teammate about 26 meters away from the goal on the right side of the top of the penalty area, moved the ball away from the defending Celta player in front of him, created a shooting space, and immediately started to stand still.
Shoot.
Even though there was no run-up and he just started shooting from the spot, Qiao Anchen's powerful shooting power still allowed him to hit a powerful long-range shot, which penetrated Celta's defense in the penalty area like a sharp arrow and went straight to the upper right corner.
.
Goalkeeper Barras tried his best to make a flying save, but still couldn't get the ball that flew straight into the dead center. In the end, he could only stand in the air and watch the ball fly into the goal against the right post.
Qiao Anchen opened the scoring, helping Atletico Madrid lead Celta Vigo 1-0. At the same time, this was also the 37th consecutive La Liga game for Qiao Anchen to score in a cross-season (not playing during the suspension period does not count as breaking the record).
In addition, with this goal, Qiao Anchen's total goals in 2012 were once again refreshed and increased to 116 goals.
Commentators from various countries at the scene and in the TV studio excitedly explained loudly:
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooal..."
"The ball went in!!!"
"After three games, Qiao Anchen finally appeared on the court again, and in the 18th minute of the game, he scored the visiting team Celta Vigo's goal with a powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area."
"The three-game suspension did not make Qiao Anchen's condition decline, nor did he make any mistakes in his footwork."
"From the beginning to the end of the year, except for the two La Liga games where he was suspended, Qiao Anchen scored in all La Liga games he participated in, setting a terrifying record of scoring in 37 consecutive La Liga games."
"You know, La Liga only has 38 games in the entire season!"
"The number of consecutive goals scored by Qiao Anchen will soon be as many as the number of games in La Liga throughout the season."
"It's unimaginable."
"Qiao Anchen's annual total goal record has also been refreshed to 116 goals."
"But I feel that scoring in 37 consecutive La Liga games is more terrifying than his annual total goal record of 116."
"After all, as a football player, who doesn't have ups and downs? When the condition is good, it is possible to score four or five goals in a game. When the condition is not good, there is no goal in the whole game, which is too normal."
"But Qiao Anchen broke the routine. He scored in every La Liga game."
"This is not talking about the average goal rate per game, but it is real. Qiao Anchen scored at least one goal in every La Liga game."
"Before the opponent starts the game, you must be prepared for at least one goal to be scored by Qiao Anchen."
"There is no doubt that Qiao Anchen is definitely the most efficient and terrifying super striker in the history of football."
"As long as he is given time, I am afraid that many football scoring records will be broken by him one by one and his name will be engraved on them."
After three games, Qiao Anchen scored a goal again on the court. He was also very excited. He rushed to the sidelines and did a gymnastics-style front handspring. He turned twice to celebrate, which made the Calderon fans even more excited.
, all applauded and screamed for Qiao Anchen.
Later, his teammates also ran over, surrounded Qiao Anchen, hugged and celebrated together, and congratulated him on returning to the court, scoring again, and setting two world records again.
Setting the world record twice in a row also allowed Qiao Anchen to receive another 20 million experience reward.
After the celebration ended and the game restarted, Celta did not attack aggressively in an attempt to equalize the score because the score was behind.
Because they know their strength well, it will be difficult for them to equalize, let alone reverse and win.
With Qiao Anchen back in the starting lineup, possessing superhuman speed, and Matthews' extraordinary skills, shooting skills, and shooting power, once Celta Vigo attacks in a big way, it will be easy for Qiao Anchen to quickly counterattack and lose the ball.
Therefore, Celta's goal in this game is very simple, which is to accept the loss, but not to lose too much, and the loss will be a tragedy.
Such a pragmatic goal indeed allowed Celta to avoid the fate of becoming the protagonist of the tragedy.
Although the offensive lineup of the three forwards of Qiao Anchen, Falcao, and Diego Costa was very powerful, the weather in this game was too cold and the playing field was poor in snow, so some opportunities could not be seized.
For example, in the 27th minute, Qiao Anchen was running without the ball and was about to rush into the gap to receive a pass from teammate Alda Turan. When he was trying to volley, his foot slipped in the penalty area and he lost his center of gravity and fell.
On the ground, the ball naturally failed to be kicked and was cleared by the opponent's defender.
However, coincidentally, at the moment when Joan Chen slipped and fell, Celta Vigo defender Belvis made a flying shovel from the side and slipped past Joan Chen's feet.
The referee who didn't see clearly blew his whistle with a "beep", rushed into the penalty area, pointed at the penalty spot, and was about to give Bellwis a foul for uprooting Qiao Anchen in the penalty area. Not only did he have to give a penalty kick, but he also put his hand in his pocket.
, ready to take out the cards.
Several Celta defenders and goalkeepers in the penalty area where it was clear that it was not Belvis who tackled Joan Chen, but Joan Chen himself fell, immediately gathered around the referee excitedly to complain.
At this time, Qiao Anchen had already gotten up and ran towards the referee while shouting: "No penalty, sir, no penalty!"
The referee who was about to take out the cards stopped what he was doing and looked at Qiao Anchen, who was running over, with some doubts in his eyes.
Qiao Anchen ran to the referee and said solemnly: "Mr. Referee, I slipped on my own just now. Belvis did not touch me. He did not commit a foul or take a penalty kick."
Any referee who is about to make a penalty would be very unhappy if a player questions his wrong decision.
Therefore, the referee said with a serious face and a cold expression: "Are you sure?"
Qiao Anchen nodded solemnly and said, "I'm very sure that he didn't shovel me. I slipped and fell on my own."
The referee stared at Qiao Anchen for a few seconds. Seeing that Qiao Anchen did not avoid anything and seemed very confident, he finally nodded and canceled the penalty kick. Naturally, he would not give Belvis a card.
The commentators have clearly seen the ins and outs of this goal through replays, and they all praised:
"When the referee made a mistake and was about to award Belvis with a tackle foul and give Atletico Madrid a penalty kick."
"Qiao Anchen took the initiative to stand up and explain the ball to the referee, telling the referee that he fell down by himself and was not tackled by Belvis."
"You are welcome to score goals that should be scored, but you will not accept benefits that are not deserved."
"Qiao Anchen's performance is in sharp contrast to the performance of Shakhtar Donetsk forward Luis Adriano who took advantage of others' danger to score a single goal in the last Champions League match."
"That's what sportsmanship looks like."
Qiao Anchen's behavior not only received applause from the commentators and fans, but also Celta Vigo's players, including Belvis, who was almost wronged, stepped forward to hug Qiao Anchen and thanked him for "speaking uprightly" and not letting anyone let him down.
Celta Vigo suffered a wrongful conviction.
Although he missed a must-goal penalty kick, a chance to refresh the annual total goal record and receive a record-breaking reward of 10 million, Qiao Anchen has no regrets.
The thunderous applause from the fans and the sincere hugs and thanks from his opponents are the meaning of his behavior.
Although everyone now pays attention to utilitarian football, some unethical profit-making practices should still be avoided.
