Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 278 The Most Absurd Scene

After the score was two to two, the head coaches of both sides made substitutions at the same time. Johnson replaced Laudrup, who was unable to run, with substitute midfielder Kroger, while Benitez replaced him with Yu Genwei. Gao Feng, who scored the goal in the first half, was off.

Johnson's substitution was a passive substitution. In order to avoid Li Gang's pervasive personal defense, Laudrup had to consume more energy than usual to get rid of the opponent's defense. The direct consequence was that there were more than 20 minutes left in the game. His physical strength was close to exhaustion when he was playing. Although Johnson did not want the Danish team to lose Laudrup's experience, he also knew that a midfielder who couldn't run was not a threat at all.

Benitez's substitutions are more active. The Chinese team has already fallen behind in the midfield competition. The replacement of Yu Genwei, who has better skills, will help to increase the ball control ability of the Chinese team. After all, it cannot Always count on Nie Fei for one.

The players on the field are fighting fiercely, and the head coach off the field is also doing their own tricks. After all, no one wants to go home early.

The current situation is clear to everyone - win this game!Or, a tie is not bad, at least you can still draw lots...

This led to an extremely absurd result. Both sides are strengthening their offense, but at least half of the players in the backcourt are defending while attacking. This fully demonstrates the complicated mentality of both sides-they do not want to lose...

This made the members of the World Cup Organizing Committee smile wryly. No one expected such a result. However, in today's increasingly conservative football, at least Denmark and China have performed well. At least they have scored two goals each. ball……

"Fortunately, this kind of situation will basically not happen... This is the first time in history." A FIFA official said with a wry smile.

"If this happens every World Cup, then we have to consider changing the rules of the game..." An official from the competition department thought about it: "We can add the rules of fair competition, such as those with fewer red cards If the number of red cards is the same, the team with the fewest yellow cards will qualify."

"What if these two figures are the same?" another official asked.

"God can't answer this question." The official shrugged. "Then we can only count on drawing lots."

Both sides pinned their hopes on the offensive players in the frontcourt. The Danish team's hopes were Laudrup Jr., Sander and Jorgensen, while the Chinese team's hopes were Hao Dong, Nie Fei and Yu Genwei who had just been replaced.In terms of reputation, the offensive players of the Chinese team are naturally inferior to the Danish team, which all play in the top European leagues, but in terms of performance, they are not inferior to the Danish team.

In these 10 minutes, the Chinese team threatened the goal of the Danish team three times, but they were resolved one by one by Schmeichel. After being responsible for both goals, Schmeichel showed that he was not inferior to him. The strength at the peak saved the fate of the Danish team three times in a row, including rescuing Hao Dong's header from close at hand with his feet on the goal line.

The Danish team also created four good scoring chances, which were also resolved by the Chinese team's defense. Ou Chuliang made a wonderful save. General Fan made two rescues in front of the goal. The game entered the No.805 minute. , both sides gave up their offense and quietly waited for the game to end.

"Why don't they attack! There is still time in the game, do they want to drag the rest of the time?" A FIFA official growled.

"No one would take a risk at this time." The person next to him sighed with a wry smile: "What would you do if you were to take the risk of losing the game and launch a fierce attack in the final stage, or pin your hopes on the draw? They put in a good game anyway, four good goals... can you expect them to take a risk at this point?"

At this time, the referee looked at his watch, put the whistle in his mouth, and blew it hard!
Two short and one long, the game is over!

After the regularization of the World Cup, this is the first time that such a situation has occurred. The matches of a group have all ended, but the final ranking has not yet come out, and the suspense is not over yet!

The French team won all three games and won the first place in the group, the South African team lost all three games and was fourth in the group, while the Chinese team and the Danish team...

One win, one draw, one loss, four points, five goals scored, five conceded, zero goal difference - mind you, this is not about one team's results, but two teams' results - Denmark and China The results are exactly the same!
The outcome of the match between each other?draw!

FIFA and the World Cup Organizing Committee quickly made a decision. The two teams each selected one person to go to the League Organizing Committee. The rules of the lottery will be notified to both parties in person. For the sake of fairness, the process of the lottery will be broadcast live.

********************************************
"This lot...who will draw?"

In a large room of the hotel where the Chinese team is located, the head of the Chinese delegation Wan Junsheng, the team leader Li Chuanqi, the deputy team leader Li Xiaoguang, the head coach Benitez, the assistant coach Qi Dashuai, the translator Pei Wei, six people sat in groups, Wan Jun He glanced at everyone and asked this sentence.

There was silence.Everyone knows that this lottery is not easy to draw.

If you make it to the top [-], you will have nothing to say, and you will be immediately regarded as the "hand of God" by fans all over the country.But if you don't get in... the whole team's efforts in the three games will be wiped out by you. Even if everyone knows the person who is responsible for the lottery, he will still be scolded by irrational fans. Not everyone can do it bearable.

Pei Wei glanced at the three football association leaders and knew that none of them would be able to draw lots. Marshal Qi finally got out of the situation of being blamed by fans all over the country. If he was hit again, he would be devastated.He sighed and stood up: "It seems that I am the only one going."

He forced a smile: "Anyway, I'm not a member of the Football Association, and I don't intend to go into an official career... If I get drawn, my old Pei will immediately become the most beloved club chairman by fans all over the country. If I don't get drawn, I have nothing to lose."

"No." Benitez stood up and pressed him to sit down: "I will go. I am the head coach. According to international practice, it is only suitable for me to do this kind of thing. Besides... Anyway, I want to serve the players They are responsible for their hard work. It is their hard work to make it to the top [-]. It is my responsibility to fail to make it..."

"Raphael, stop talking nonsense!" Pei Wei pushed him down again: "Don't forget, this is the Chinese team! We have no reason to let you, a foreigner, decide the fate of our Chinese team!"

As soon as these words came out, Wan Junsheng coughed immediately, and glared at Pei Wei, indicating that what he said was really inappropriate.

Pei Wei said this on purpose, he didn't want Benitez to take the blame for his hard work.

"Pei..." Benitez was not angry, but smiled: "Do you think that saying this will make me angry? I know you too well... Don't worry, this is also for the sake of my own future. If I This head coach dare not take on this responsibility, do you think I have the face to coach in Europe in the future? Don’t forget, my future goal is in Europe!”

"Raphael, you..." Pei Wei choked.

"Okay, I'll go tonight! Stop arguing with me." Benitez straightened his collar with a smile: "Heaven or hell, I will control it alone...I really enjoy this feeling."

****************************************
In a hall arranged by FIFA, Benitez met Johnson.

The two opponents shook hands tightly, and Johnson smiled wryly: "I didn't expect to use this method to decide the winner..."

Benitez shrugged: "Me too."

"The draw is done in two steps." Blatter, the newly appointed president of FIFA, was explaining the rules to them: "There are four playing cards in total, namely spades, hearts, clubs and squares. First draw clubs and squares. For piece A, the team that draws the club will draw the second lottery first, and in the second lottery, the team that draws the ace of spades will enter the top [-], understand?"

Benitez nodded: "Understood, it's a fair thing to do."

Like all matches in the World Cup, this draw ceremony is also faced with global broadcast. In the first round of draws, Benitez drew club A, and he won the first choice.

The fateful moment came. Two playing cards were buckled and placed on a plate, and Benitez stepped forward.

His hands trembled a little, but Benitez still stabilized his emotions and pressed his hand on the playing card on the left.

"Have you chosen?" Bratt asked.

Benitez closed his eyes and nodded.Johnson also stepped forward and put his hand on another playing card.

The two took a deep breath at the same time, and flipped over the playing cards in their hands at the same time.

A flash of red flashed in front of Benitez's eyes!
Heart A!He drew the Ace of Hearts!

Johnson's ecstatic cheers sounded in his ears, and the Chinese fans who were guarding in front of the TV at the same time softened their legs and sat down on the chairs.

"The Danish team won. Although they did not beat the Chinese team on the court, they obviously had much better luck... For the loser Chinese team, this is obviously a cruel ending, but what can be done? This A team from Asia has shown that they really have good strength, and it is just a lack of luck that they have not been able to go further... Let us congratulate the Danish team and express regret to the Chinese team..."

Finally, the Agence France-Presse reporter put an end to the draw with a classic sentence: "The draw must be used to decide the life and death of the two teams. I think this is the most absurd in the 68-year history of the World Cup." The scene of..."
