The next day.
Yuetan Stadium.
The atmosphere was tense. It was like the calm before the storm. Deputy Bureau Chief Xu Yan led the Western District team into the stadium. She looked at the Eastern District team, who were in their red jerseys, warming up on the grass. Xu Yan's face turned serious as she scanned the faces of the team members. "I will say it one last time! Our goal is to win! Raise your spirits! Don't embarrass the Western District Branch! "
"Yes, Sir!"
"Ok!"
Today's match was crucial, and many people from the branch had come to cheer for the team. Tan Limei, Changjuan, and even Old Yan were there. Guo Panwei and Zhuang Zhi were still in the starting lineup. Maybe it was because Xiao Gao and another official team member were injured yesterday, and Guo Shunjie was also in the starting lineup. Everyone took off their jackets and entered the stadium to warm up. Dong Xuebing and the other two substitutes stood behind Xu Yan and Li Qing. They were looking at the stadium from the shade.
On the other side, Deputy Political Commissar Xu Yan was not far from Dong Xuebing. They were only about 10 meters apart.
Xu Yan was holding her handbag and looked at Dong Xuebing coldly.
Xu Yan turned to Dong Xuebing and forced a smile: "How many goals are you prepared to lose?"
Xu Yan frowned: "This is what I wanted to ask you."
"Haha, I don't know where you all get your confidence from. Let's wait and see."
Xu Yan had probably also given the team a mission to win. Before the match started, both teams and their respective managers could vaguely smell the smell of gunpowder between them. It was very strong. The referee was the same person from yesterday's City Bureau. He saw both teams were ready and blew the whistle to start the match.
The Eastern District team started the match and passed the ball quickly. They had already broken through the midfield.
Xu Yan used her hand to make a megaphone gesture and shouted: "Attack! Press forward! "
The Eastern District team's players seemed to be on steroids. They did not care about the defense at the back and continued to press forward. Bam! The ball was intercepted by the Western District's Commission for Discipline Inspection player. But before Dong Xuebing's teammates could counterattack, a shoe with spikes appeared from the side. That guy from the Commission for Discipline Inspection was shocked and tried to dodge. In the end, the ball was scooped away and returned to the Eastern District team.
The scene was somewhat intense and urgent.
Dong Xuebing clenched his fist. Foul! Penalty! Foul! Penalty! Penalty! Uh, he suddenly felt that he was too bad. His teammates and leaders were all looking forward to victory, but he was praying for everyone to fall behind. If he wanted to let others know what he was looking forward to, he would definitely be beaten to death by his teammates.
Beep! The whistle blew!
Dong Xuebing looked up and saw Zhuang Zhi clutching his leg and screaming on the ground. A player wearing a red vest was standing beside him and was talking to the referee. The referee looked down at Zhuang Zhi's condition and hesitated for a moment before taking out a yellow card to warn the opposing player.
Xu Yan couldn't stand it anymore. "Raise your leg too high! Why is it only a yellow card!? "
Dong Xuebing's heart skipped a beat. He saw Zhuang Zhi was still lying on the ground. He pulled a substitute player and ran over to Zhuang Zhi's leg. "Zhuang Zhi! How was it? Is it serious? " Dong Xuebing knew Zhuang Zhi's character very well. Zhuang Zhi was not the type of person to feign ignorance. Since he was in so much pain, it was definitely not an act.
Zhuang Zhi was sweating profusely and shook his head. "Ouch … … I can't … … play anymore."
"It's fine. Let me help you off the field." Dong Xuebing helped Zhuang Zhi out of the field, and the substitute player gestured to Xu Yan.
Xu Yan's face changed and stared at the referee.
The players from the Western District team surrounded the referee. "He did not even manage to tackle the ball! He is obviously aiming for the player! "
"Red card! Give him a red card! "
Xu Yan looked at Xu Yan and said: "I think your team is faking. Did he manage to tackle the player? "
You are the one who is faking! Dong Xuebing was furious. It was only 5 minutes into the match, and there were already 4 dangerous tackles. If it wasn't for Xu Yan's plan, the Eastern District team would not dare to play like this. This was just a friendly match. Even the World Cup finals would not be so ruthless! This guy must be targeting the Western District Branch and Xu Yan!
Tan Limei ran over and took the spray from Dong Xuebing's hands. Her eyes were red.
Dong Xuebing was also unhappy. He gritted his teeth and looked at the smiling Xu Yan. He will remember this incident.
In the end, Dong Xuebing's substitute, who had just helped Zhuang Zhi off the field, replaced Zhuang Zhi. After this incident, the Western District team's anger was ignited. They were even more ruthless than before. When they snatched the ball, they were cursing and swearing. They didn't care if their leader was watching them or not.
10 minutes … …
20 minutes … …
The Eastern District team was still trying to tackle the players. They did not care if they will get a red card.
"Ah!"
Just when the first half of the match was about to end, there was a scream!
The opponent's number 13 had secretly made a move when he was fighting for the ball. He used his elbow to hit the back of a player from the Western District's Political Section. The man flew out diagonally, his arm touching the ground. He was caught off guard and fell hard on the lawn, never to get up again!
The referee did not see that move from his angle. He blew the whistle but did not give out a yellow card.
But Dong Xuebing and the rest saw it clearly. Their faces turned pale and shouted: "Red card is enough!"
The players from the Western District team were furious and surrounded the referee. "His arm is moving!"
"Are you blind? You can't even see that? "
In the end, the referee did not change his decision. He waved his hand at the player who scolded him and showed him a yellow card!
Xu Yan was furious. But she remembered her leader scolding her over the phone yesterday. She took a deep breath and said: "Stop it! Continue the match! "
The first half of the match ended quickly. The Western District team got a yellow card, and the Eastern District team got 4 yellow cards. The score was still 0: 0.
During the break, a player from the Sixth Bureau said angrily: "Leader, these players are too dirty. Can this still be called football?"
Another player grumbled: "The referee is also siding with them! They can't play anymore! "
Xu Yan did not say a word. It was obvious that she was angry with Xu Yan's shameless way of playing. She even suspected that Xu Yan's motive was not to win the match but to drag the score to a draw. This way, the Western District team would have to bear the shame of losing 8 matches. Or, Xu Yan wanted to deplete all her substitutes so that the Western District team would not have any substitutes.
Because of the injuries, the Western District team only had 3 substitutes, and one of them was Dong Xuebing, the goalkeeper. Including the player who got injured before halftime, the Western District team had no substitutes left. If another player got injured, the Western District team could not let Dong Xuebing play as the center back or forward.
Losing?!
