Chapter 1081
The game restarted, and Spain took advantage of the kick-off to quickly launch an offensive against the Chinese team's hinterland, but the Chinese players on the defensive end were clearly well-prepared.

Among them, David Silva, who is attacking the right rib, is the most active. From the beginning of his career, he and Aiello are called the Valencia Gemini, but for many people, Ailuo is much more powerful than David Silva.

But at that time, David Silva didn't care. If he was a green leaf, he would be a green leaf. Anyway, he was on the same team and won the championship.

But today's competition is different. This is the FIFA Confederations Cup final. In his career, the only remaining Confederations Cup champion can truly be called a Grand Slam!

David Silva, who is the same age as Aiello, is 27 years old. He doesn't know if he will have the chance to participate in the Confederations Cup four years later, so he must help Spain defeat the Chinese team and win the championship when he can participate in the Confederations Cup final this time!
However, it was the Chinese team that made the first attack, and it was his friend Ai Luo who scored the goal. The two formed a stark contrast.

He didn't want to lose, and wanted to help the team equalize quickly!
But David Silva's activity is based on the sacrifice of other teammates, coupled with the good positioning of the Chinese team's defensive players, even if David Silva is very active, he has no way to directly threaten the goal guarded by Wang Xiaolei.

On the contrary, the next two quick counterattacks by the Chinese team almost took the opportunity to expand the score to two goals. Bosque was so scared that he stood on the sidelines and repeatedly signaled his players to stabilize the rhythm, because he knew that once Spain got up fast, it would not be the real Spain.

Spain's goals have always been to boil frogs in warm water, and then suddenly speed up, catching the opponent by surprise, but the continuous fast pace is contrary to their core tactics. In addition, their semi-final match with Brazil is one day later than the semi-final match between China and Uruguay, which means that the Spanish players have one day less rest time, which requires a lot of physical fitness for the team.

Bosque is different from the players on the field, he must consider more comprehensively, so as to prevent the core players from being exhausted in the second half.

Watching Spain slow down the offensive rhythm again, Guardiola glanced at Bosque, and then pouted, Jiang is still old and spicy!
If Spain continues to play fast-paced games, he has absolute confidence in the Chinese team and will definitely expand the score to two goals before the end of the first half. What a pity!

※※※

The rhythm is slowing down, and the Chinese team is not in a hurry. Anyway, they are leading the score now. What they need to do now is to defend well and wait for the Spanish offensive players to make mistakes, so as to give a fatal blow.

In fact, the Chinese team did have such an opportunity, and even caused major controversy.

When the game progressed to No. 307 minutes, Harvey Martinez's shot in the middle was blocked by Feng Xiaoting. The football just rolled to Wu Xi's feet, and the latter passed the ball forward without hesitation.

Because Spain was behind in the score, they pushed forward, and only Pique and Ramos were left in the backcourt. They stood on both sides of the center circle arc to prevent the Chinese team from quickly counterattacking.

But Gao Lin's forward drive attracted Pique's attention, and he pushed forward, completely exposing the large space behind him.

No one thought that Wu Xi's pass was very clever, giving enough advance, and Ai Luo's running position was very weird, using the advantage of speed to run in front of the right back Azpilicueta.

Let Azpilicueta compete with Ai Luo for speed, and any fan in the stands will know the result...

So Azpilicueta had to use an unconventional foul when Ai Luo was about to overtake him, stretching his right leg and tripping the club captain Ai Luo.

There is no doubt that the on-duty referee Culpez in the camera blew his whistle, and then ran towards the fouled Azpilicueta with a bad expression.

At this time, how can the players on the field not know what the referee wants to do?

The players close to the referee flocked to the referee immediately, wanting to intercede with the fouled Azpilicueta. In addition, Ramos hurriedly ran to his teammate Azpilicueta, pushed him to his own half, and signaled him to leave the scene of the incident as soon as possible.

Fans who have tried a little bit of football know that the fouled Azpilicueta is the last defensive player in Spain. If Aiello's speed is fully accelerated, it will definitely be an attack to expand the score!

Therefore, the referee must give a red card in the face of this foul!
The Spanish players are begging for mercy, and the Chinese players are naturally unwilling to lag behind. If the referee is really persuaded, wouldn't the single-handed opportunity be wasted?

Gao Lin is closer, so he is naturally responsible for analyzing the seriousness of Azpilicueta's foul with the referee.

But Ramos is very sophisticated, he pushed Gao Lin away to distract the referee.

Indeed, the referee's attention was 'attracted' by Ramos' pushing action, which almost caused the players on both sides to explode and conflict.

※※※

Ramos' choice was accurate and reasonable. The referee first showed him a yellow card, and then showed a yellow card to the fouled Azpilicueta, which caused a false alarm to the Spanish fans in the stands, and then subconsciously applauded the referee.

If... the referee sends Azpilicueta off, then the game will be really difficult to play, you must know that you are still one goal behind.

The referee only showed Azpilicueta a yellow card, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the Chinese players, but he explained very patiently that Azpilicueta was indeed the last defensive player in Spain, but the problem was that Aiello did not completely surpass Azpilicueta when he was tripped.

In other words, Azpilicueta's foul was very timely. If it was half a second at night, it would be an undisputed red card!

Of course, the main reason for the referee’s yellow card is to take into account the smoothness of the game. If a Spanish player is sent off in the first half, the advantage over the leading Chinese team will be too obvious, and the game will lose its due appreciation. It will be a big stain on his refereeing career.

Because he doesn't want to be like the Norwegian referee Hauge who whistled for the 2005-2006 UEFA Champions League final. He sent off one person early, making the game lose suspense.

However, the referee's penalty still caused criticism from many commentators on the scene. They all believed that sending Azpilicueta off was the most correct penalty.

Azpilicueta's yellow card let Bosque breathe a sigh of relief. If he is sent off before the end of the first half, then the final will really be hopeless. As the executor of Tiki-Taka, no one knows better than him the truth that more people have more advantages.
