Chapter 509 Chapter 507: Red and yellow card battle!

Under the huge gap in strength, Mystery Tour North Korea suffered a disastrous defeat at the feet of Portugal, creating the largest point difference in nearly 40 years.

L'Equipe commented: The gap between Asian teams and the world's top teams is widening.

If Australia's four-goal defeat at the feet of Germany in the first round was an accident, then what was South Korea's three-goal defeat at the feet of Argentina in the second round, and Japan's four-goal defeat at the feet of the Netherlands?
The Portuguese won the most hearty victory in the history of the World Cup in the past 40 years.

The North Korean team made up for the gap in strength with their active running in the first half, allowing the Portuguese to score only one goal, but they collapsed in the second half...

The North Korean team is not a marathon runner. Their physical fitness problems occurred in the second half, and they fell behind by a large score, and their psychological problems also appeared.

So far, the four Asian teams have been defeated by their opponents in South Africa, which shows that the gap between the Asian teams and the world's top teams is further widening.

The Portuguese media took advantage of the victory to ridicule Messi.

The Portuguese Victory newspaper said: Before the game, Ronaldo said under the pressure of Chen Qiang that he would score in this game.Of course, the North Koreans know who is the most threatening in the Portuguese team, so Ronaldo failed to get a decent shot throughout the first half.

But at the end of the game, Ronaldo seized the opportunity to score!

After the goal, Ronaldo had a childlike smile on his face, and Eusebio, the number one legend in Portuguese football history, who was sitting on the sidelines, seemed to see his shadow when he was galloping on the field 44 years ago.

Messi, where is your goal?

The Argentine Cape of Good Hope counterattacked: Although Messi did not score, Argentina has advanced ahead of schedule!

Portugal, have you qualified yet?

Don't you forget that you still have to fight Brazil to the death?
Ronaldo did score, but Chen has already scored five goals, he has nothing to be proud of!
……

Chen Fan did not become a weapon between Portuguese and Argentine media. He is preparing for the last match of the group with his teammates in Cape Town.

Van Marwijk "grew his grace", and after arriving in Cape Town, let the players meet with their wives or girlfriends.

Chen Fan returned to the team to participate in training after spending a lingering night with Aimel, and Aimel used this time to visit the scenery of Cape Town with Buchela.

With the end of the second round of the group of death, people turned their attention to the 08 European Cup champion Spain.

Can Spain adjust to win?

If they lose again, they will be the first team to be eliminated in the championship favourites.

It can be said that the star-studded Spain ushered in a last stand.

In Group H, Switzerland, which defeated Spain in the first round, and Chile, which defeated Honduras in the first round, took the lead.

This is a competition to qualify one round earlier, and whoever wins will qualify early.

At 21 pm on the [-]st, the match between the two teams started at the Nelson-Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.

After the start of the game, Switzerland adopted a tactic of defending and counterattacking. They relied on this tactic to defeat Spain in an upset.

Under the intensive defense of the Swiss, the Chileans can only use long shots to threaten the Swiss goal, but the quality of their long shots is not high.

In the 301st minute of the first half, the Swiss team paid the price for their strong defense - the Swiss midfielder Behrami protected the ball from the sideline, first raised his left hand to touch Boserou's face, and then raised his right elbow to hit Vidal on the cheek. The Saudi referee Al Hamdi directly showed a red card!
The Swiss team can only fight with one less man.

With numbers at a disadvantage, Switzerland wanted to defend to the end. The Chileans had nothing to do with their intensive defense. In the end, the two sides ended the first half with a score of zero to zero.

Ten-man Switzerland has kept a clean sheet for 529 consecutive minutes, surpassing England's 1982-minute clean sheet from 1986 to 501 and approaching Italy's record.

After the start of the second half, the Chilean team continued their onslaught, and the Swiss adopted the back-and-forth tactics.

In the No. 20 minute of the second half, Chile launched an attack again. Valdivia made a pass in the midfield, and Paredes broke into the right side of the penalty area against offside!
Paredes waded past the attacking goalkeeper Benaglio and rubbed his left foot to the back post near the baseline. Mark Gonzalez scored a ferocious header from four meters in front of the goal!

The football hit the turf, evaded Lichtsteiner's clearance, and flew into the net!

The ball is in!
One to zero!

Chile, who fought with one more man, finally paid off!

In the end, the Chilean team beat Switzerland by one goal and qualified from the group ahead of schedule with two wins in two games!
The Saudi referee Al Hamdi, who was on duty after the game, was criticized by the media. He showed a total of nine yellow cards and one red card in this game.

The German Bild newspaper used the headline: The World Cup's roughest battle is repeated!Saudi referee zero tolerance director 9 yellow 1 red tragedy!
When a fast offensive and defensive game is over, the fans can't remember which player's performance on the field is eye-catching, but they keep in mind the referee's penalty.

As the only protagonist who takes the lead, the referee obviously has to take full responsibility. The purpose of the referee is to make the game go more smoothly, not to use the whistle in his hand to blindly show his so-called authority.

Today, the referee from Switzerland and Chile, Alhamdi from Saudi Arabia, had 9 yellows and 1 red in the game, tying the previous record of Spaniard Marenco, and tied for the two most ruthless referees in this World Cup. But is it appropriate for him to do so?
In fact, there was no active coordinating effect.

Of course, FIFA also needs to reflect on the fact that there is zero tolerance for this and zero tolerance for that, so that referees can play their cards unscrupulously. If you look through the books, you can still find excuses.But is it interesting to continue such a game?

Alhamdi played cards for several situations today, one is shoveling or pulling from the back, the other is the conflict in the set-piece dispute, the third is competing with the referee, and the fourth is some foul actions in the offensive.

Alhamdi caused the most controversy, the second and the fourth, and the reason is simple: have you really seen it clearly?

In the 60th minute, Inle defended and kicked Sanchez down. Fernandez stood up for his teammate and pushed Inle. Alhamdi followed up and showed the two yellow cards respectively.

Double yellows are shown, are the two teams uniformed?
Not necessarily, and the scene was even more comical. Chile took the free kick. In the competition for the position in the penalty area, Medel pushed the Swiss team's von Bergen's chest, but von Bergen fell down covering his face.

This action is reminiscent of the performances of the Côte d'Ivoire and Brazilian film stars yesterday. Von Bergen's action was too exaggerated, and even looked unreal. However, like Rivaldo in 02, his acting skills were bad enough, but it was enough to deceive the referee who hadn't seen the situation. Alhamdi somehow gave Medel a yellow card.

The three yellow cards were issued within a very short period of time. Alhamdi felt that he had fallen into one of the big taboos of the referee when he was enforcing the law: it is not appropriate to play cards intensively in a football game, otherwise the rhythm may not be controlled by you, and the anger of everyone will be adjusted instead.

What's more, Alhamdi obviously didn't see what happened in the penalty area.superior
From the 18th minute of the half to the 205th minute of the half, Alhamdi played three cards in a row within 7 minutes. The rhythm was a bit ruthless, as if he wanted to show the authority of the referee earlier and scare the players.

But too many facts have proved that for referees who dare to draw cards like crazy, there are nine out of ten accidents in a game. Anyway, they are all killed by you.

The biggest controversy in this game came from the red card. Here, it must be emphasized that Behrami's two actions are quite ruthless. He used this arm raising action when dribbling the ball. It may not be convincing to say that he has no intention of doing so.

However, Alhamdi did not respond to the first action, and he was given a red card after the second action. The standard here is very confusing. It is normal for the players to play too excitedly.

The referee must know how to suppress this desire for performance, because it will hurt the opponent, but if the referee directly suppresses it with a red card, the damage will be too great.

The suspect, Behrami, can only make 100 objections, and whether he intends to or not, is it really a serious elbow incident?Chileans do that kind of action, so there must be no performance element?
Because of Behrami's rough movement, in the eyes of high-level professional players, there is an urge to use it for nothing.

Alhamdi should take into account the very important factor of performance. Of course, it is not to let him play cards to the performers, but to try to comprehensively and objectively view the reactions of the two sides, and then give a judgment on whether to play cards or not.

In this game, at the critical moment, Alhamdi was strongly reacted by the suspected victim, which took away the self-judgment and maturity that the referee should have.

A very interesting conversation between the second-tier elite teams in South America and Europe was turned into a 10-on-11 distorted match by Al Hamdi, who lacked the ability to read the game.
