Chapter 57 – We are losing? (2/2)

Commissar Xu looked at Xu Yan and said: “I think it is your player who is diving.”

Damn! Feng Yu was furious.

The tempers were rising. It was only 5 minutes into the game, and there was 4 dangerous play by the opposing team. If this were not instructions from Commissar Xu, the players would not dare to be so aggressive. Even the World Cup finals matches were not so rough, let alone a friendly match between two government branches! This type of play was explicitly targeting the Western District team and Xu Yan!

Tan Limei ran over and took the medical spray from Dong Xuebing. She continued to spray the medicine on Zhuang Zhi’s injured leg. She was almost in tears.

Dong Xuebing was furious. He glanced at the smiling, Commissar Xu I will remember this!

In the end, the reserve player who went on the field with Dong Xuebing earlier replaced Zhuang Zhi. After this incident, the Western District players became more aggressive in their play. Curses and swears could be heard throughout the match. They no longer care if leaders were watching the game.

10 minutes……

20 minutes……

The Eastern District players were still tackling from behind, aiming for the players’ legs. They did not care even if they will get yellow cards or got sent off.

“Ahhhhh!!!!!”

When the first half of the match was about to end, there was a horrible shriek!

Eastern District team’s no, 13 had elbowed one of the Western District players in the back when they were fighting for the ball. The Western District player was sent flying on the pitch and could no longer get up on his feet!

The referee could not see what happened from his position, and he just awarded a foul. There were no yellow cards.

Dong Xuebing and many others saw what happened. Everyone shouted: “That’s a red card!”

The Western District players surrounded the referee: “He had elbowed him!”

“Are you blind? You did not see what happened?”

The referee stick to his decision and even showed the yellow card to the player who scolded him!

Xu Yan had a terrible expression on her face. But she remembered yesterday’s phone call from her higher-up, asking her to think of the big picture. She took a deep breath and said: “Stop it and carry on with the match!”

The first half was over. The Western District team got a yellow card, and the Eastern District Team got 4. The score was still 0:0/

During the half time break, a player from the Public Security Sixth Bureau shouted: “Leader, they are playing dirty. Can this even be considered a football match?”

Another player complaint. “The referee is siding with them! There is no way we can win!”

Xu Yan frowning and not saying a word. She was also furious by the actions of the opposing team. She suspects Commissar Xu did not want a win from this match. She was only aiming for a draw and wanted the Western District team to have zero wins from 8 games. She might also be trying to get the Western District team to use up all their reserve players. This way, the Western District team will have to play with lesser players!

Because of injuries, the Western District team only have 3 reserve players today. Dong Xuebing was the reserve goalkeeper. With the injured player injured substituted out before halftime, the Western District team does not have any more reserve players except for Dong Xuebing. If there were still players injured in the second half, goalkeeper Dong Xuebing might have to go on the pitch to play. A goalkeeper playing as a defender or a striker?

We are losing?!
