Beast King Costa

Chapter 173 Is this ball more likely to be offside?
"The ball is offside! Referee!"

"This ball must be offside!!!"

"It is definitely offside! Otherwise we will chase back!"

……

After Diego scored, Sporting Lisbon's two central defenders Abel Ferreira and Canela, as well as midfielder Custodio, quit on the spot. The three angrily put pressure on the referee.

At the same time, Joao Moutinho, the core midfielder of Sporting Lisbon, and Tonier, the full-back, also asked the line referee in the direction of Braga's attack for an explanation.

After being put under such pressure by the Sporting Lisbon players, the referee immediately felt—there was a way!

After all, as a hardcore Benfica fan, he doesn't want Braga to equalize the score, but he needs to refer to the opinions of the linesman to make a qualitative decision on this offensive penalty.

However, to the referee's surprise, the lineman's attitude was quite firm: "The ball must not be offside! I can see it clearly. When Sessin took the ball, Diego Costa was still behind Abel Ferreira !"

"Are you sure the ball is not offside?"

"Absolutely not!"

In order to find out the truth, the referee signaled the Sporting Lisbon players to stand back, and he ran to the sidelines alone for further discussion with the linesman.

"Oh???"

In the Portuguese national sports station studio, "Fancy Blowing Brother" watched the referee hesitate, and did not immediately point to the center circle to indicate that the goal was valid. He immediately felt: Benfica seems to have a chance to survive. ?
I saw "Fancy Blowing Brother" adding fuel and jealousy: "Looking at the referee's meaning, the ball seems to be offside! Fans and spectators, don't worry, let's wait patiently for the referee and the linesman to discuss the result."

But at this moment, Diego was so excited after scoring the goal that he didn't even notice the change of the referee team on the field. He was still immersed in the joy of scoring, and even took off his shirt and ran to Braga. Under the stands of the audience, they cheered and celebrated this with the audience, which means the goal that can help the team return to the third place in the league.

Wende and Sessin found that the referee seemed to have a sign that the goal would be blown away, and they both didn't care about celebrating with Diego. pressure.

"The ball was definitely not offside! The moment I took the ball, Diego was still behind the defenders! It's just that Diego was fast enough, so he quickly got rid of the defenders!"

"It's definitely not offside! I can see the ball clearly!"

"No offside! Absolutely no offside!"

At this moment, even the old coach Jesúaldo Ferreira came over. He shook his fingers with a serious face and put pressure on the referee team together with the players.

You know, in the first half of the game, a penalty kick was inexplicably awarded for an "air foul". At this moment, if there is such a beautiful anti-offside two-for-one cooperation, the equalizer goal scored by the referee will be blown away. , then this game is really more wronged than Dou E!

"Go back, everyone! Go back, everyone!!!"

The referee was quite dissatisfied with the way players on both sides kept putting pressure on him, which made it impossible for him to discuss with the linesman whether the ball was offside or not.

Therefore, the very bad-tempered referee even showed a yellow card warning to Custodio, who put the most pressure on him, and the old coach Jesúaldo Ferreira.

In this way, the players on both sides were able to calm down for a while.

As a result, the referee began a long discussion with the linesman, but no one knew what they were discussing, and no one knew what the final penalty would be.

The Sporting Lisbon players are not in a hurry. After all, this game is irrelevant to them. Even if they can't complete the task assigned by the club's senior management to stop Braga, it doesn't matter-they played so hard in this game. The club's senior management is also obvious to all, right?It can't be helped if you can't kick it!

The players in Braga, and the Benfica fans who flooded the Jose Alvalade Stadium, were in a hurry.

Whether this goal is offside is quite decisive for both sides.

Now it is the 78th minute of the game. Once the score is equalized at this time point, then Braga has a high probability of being able to hold on to this 1-1 score to the end and win at the Jose Alvalade Stadium. Crucial 1 point!
Ran goose ...

At this moment, Diego is still celebrating his wonderful "two over three" goal with the fans in Braga, ignoring the referee at all. Why hasn't he signaled him to go back and continue the game?

hum hum!
Anyway, no one told me to go back and continue the game, so I continued to celebrate and waste time!
Diego's head is still very bright at the moment - after the score is equalized, there is no need to think about expanding the score, and the rest of the game time is to resolutely implement the "procrastination formula".

After dragging out the last 10 minutes or so, you've got this 1 point. Why are you still thinking about 3 points?

While Diego had already celebrated with the Braga audience on the sidelines and didn't know how to celebrate, on the other side of the court, the discussion between the referee and the linesman had also ended.

I saw the referee ran back to the court.

Everyone held their breath and watched the referee's next move.

I saw the referee blowing his whistle calmly, pointing his left arm to the center circle - no offside!The goal is valid!

"yeah!!!"

"Great!!!"

The players in Braga were all excited. They were all sweating just now. Now they can finally celebrate the equalizing goal with peace of mind.

However, the Benfica crowd in the stands of the Jose Alvalade Stadium quit, and all kinds of boos sounded everywhere.

"Black whistle! The referee must be a black whistle!"

"How could this ball not be offside! This ball must be offside!"

"Black call! Match-fixing! The referee is going to eat SHI!"

……

The referee didn't pay any attention to this. After all, the referee had no right to interfere with the audience's boos. He just urged the players on both sides to get ready to continue the game and stop wasting time.

At the same time, the referee showed a yellow card to Diego who had just returned to the court.

Regarding this yellow card, Diego stuck out his tongue helplessly—it can’t be helped, he was so excited after scoring the goal that he forgot about getting a yellow card for undressing to celebrate.

Of course, what Diego didn't know was that his goal just now was almost blown away.

Otherwise, Diego will definitely tease the referee: "Why don't you just blow this ball away? Aren't you a big fan of Benfica?"

But also, none of this happened.

Otherwise, with the on-duty referee's character of vengeance, Diego will be shown another yellow card for "provoking the referee" every minute.
