Chapter 58 – I will play! (1/2)
The second half of the match started.
The Eastern District continued with their tactics. Other than those players who got yellow cards were played cautiously, the rest of the players were playing “dirty.” Both sides were attacking. When the Western District players threaten them, the Eastern District players will purposely foul them. They pushed, tackled, pulled, and even hugged. They will do whatever it takes to stop the Western District from scoring a goal.
The Western District players were not playing to their usual standards. Xu Yan, Dong Xuebing and the rest of their supporters were vexed!
Because her boyfriend was injured, Tan Limei was supporting her team angrily. “Western District! Go for it!” Changjuan and a few other girls from the Finance Department were also cheering for their team. When the opposing team played dirty, they will curse and swear at that player.
15 minutes……
30 minutes……
There was no progress in the match. The score was still 0:0.
Will this game ended in a draw? That will be zero wins in 8 games!
Dong Xuebing was no longer hoping for the other team to be awarded a penalty kick. Even if he had saved the penalty kick, the match would still end in a draw. He was pissed by the Eastern District team and Deputy Political Commissar Xu. He was hoping for a win.
Finally, in the last two minutes of the match, an opportunity arises for the Western District team!
Guo Panwei was long pass from the midfield had touched an opposing team player, and the ball fell in front of their team’s striker. No players were guarding him, and that striker turned and ran with the ball towards the goal.
Xu Yan jolt up and shouted: “Everyone goes forward and supports him! Press forward!”
The Eastern District team’s defense line had been moved up the field, and the striker only has to face a defender. If he gets past this defender, he might score the winning goal!
The Western District team saw a glimpse of hope and rushed forward to provide support!
At the same time, Political Commissar Xu also shouted. “Stop him! Don’t let him through!” The defender heard her orders and increase his speed. The small size striker moved the ball slightly to his left and wanted to get past the defender. But that defender ignored the ball and went straight for the striker!
Crash! The defender crashed into the striker!
The striker fell onto the ground and was rolling in pain.
Beep! Beep! The referee showed a yellow card and gave a free kick to the Western District team.
Yellow card and a free kick? If the striker gets past the defender, it will be a goal!
Li Qing ran onto the pitch to check the striker’s injuries. Seeing that he could no longer continue with the match, the Western District Team went into a rage!
“Fuck! I quit!” A player from the Finance Department took off his jersey and threw it on the floor!
Guo Panwei shouted furiously: “Shouldn’t this be a red card?!”
“You did it on purpose!” Two players from the Political Section shoved that defender.
The Eastern District team players also ran over, and both sides started arguing. The situation was getting out of control!
Maybe it was because this was the last match of the tournament, two leaders from the City Bureau entered the stadium through one of the side gates. They should be there to watch the game. But when they saw what was happening on the pitch, they immediately shouted: “What’s going on? What are you all doing?”
Most of the players recognized the leaders, and the arguments stopped.
The leader with a small mustache looked over at the reserve bench: “Xu Yan (Deputy Branch Bureau Chief Xu), Xu Yan (Deputy Political Commissar Xu), is this the way you all lead your teams? Look at them!” He pointed at the players. “Is this the way your players should act?”
