Chapter 116 Winning Upright
"Penalty kick! Lehmann pounced on Digan, penalty kick! Penalty kick! AC Milan's chance is here! Lehmann pounced on Digan! His foul is very likely to attract a red card for him!" Italy's Excited, the narrator jumped up and shouted loudly.
England's commentator was scolding Degan: "Digging! This is a diving! Lehmann didn't touch Degan at all! He was diving. This behavior is really despicable."
The AC Milan fans and Arsenal fans outside the stadium also shouted at the same time, cheering and scolding at the same time.
Everything that happened just now happened in an instant, and even the camera lens couldn't capture it. Whether it was Lehmann who threw Deagan down, or Deagan flopped.
There was a lot of noise outside the court, but the referee made a penalty first, a penalty kick! At the same time, he reached into his pocket.
"No! I didn't touch him! He fell by himself! I didn't touch him!" Lehmann was still defending loudly. In such a crucial game, if the goalkeeper is sent off, Arsenal will lead by one I am afraid that the next game will be difficult to play.
Wenger on the sidelines also found the fourth official and protested loudly. Although he didn't see what happened, he knew very well that if Lehmann was sent off, Arsenal would be really in danger.
When Digan fell down just now, he didn't do a good job of protecting his head. He didn't know what happened. Seeing the players from both sides running over, Fabregas was yelling at him with a ferocious face. Roar.
"Liar! Liar! You damn liar! Is that all you can do to play football?"
Degan frowned, and pushed Fabregas away. As soon as he stood up, he saw that the referee had already drawn out the red card.
Did he think that Lao Tzu flopped! ?
Diving won't give a red card! ?
Looking again, standing in front of the referee was an aggrieved and angry Lehman, and Degan immediately understood.
"Wait a moment!"
Digan directly held down the referee's hand, and the referee who was about to draw a yellow card to send Lehman off was also stunned. He looked at Digan suspiciously, wondering what this perverted bastard was going to do?
"I tripped over it myself just now, he didn't touch me!"
What?
The referee frowned, he couldn't believe his ears!
In such an important game, AC Milan fell behind by another goal. Degan actually stood up to speak for Arsenal. He didn't want this penalty. If he could equalize the score through this penalty and send off the opponent's goalkeeper, AC Milan can basically put the Champions League in their pockets.
"What did you say?"
Digan's face was firm: "I fell by myself just now. I didn't flop, but I tripped over myself. He didn't touch me either, so there are no penalties or red cards."
The Arsenal players who were shouting around Degan were also stunned when they heard the words. They didn't expect Degan to be so virtuous that he didn't even want a penalty kick.
The AC Milan players were also taken aback. Just now they were putting pressure on the referee, hoping to send Lehmann off, but Digan jumped out and sang the opposite.
The referee wanted to insist on his penalty, but Degan refused to let go: "I don't deserve it, even if it is given to me, I don't want it. If I want to win, I have to win it openly. This penalty does not exist. ! He didn't touch me!"
The referee frowned tightly, and the field was quiet at the moment. Finally, the referee gave a wry smile, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and with a strong wave, the penalty kick was cancelled.
Ancelotti on the sidelines was hugging Tassotti excitedly just now, but now he was stunned, his fat face flushed with anger was full of anger.
"Who does that bastard think he is? The Archbishop of the Inquisition? Bastard! Bastard!"
As soon as Ancelotti finished cursing, he heard a burst of applause from the stands, including Arsenal fans and AC Milan fans. Those neutral fans stood up collectively and paid respects to Degan.
"Degan actually asked the referee to cancel the penalty kick. He seemed to say that he tripped himself just now, and it had nothing to do with Lehmann. This is not the first time Degan has helped his opponent intercede. Last season, Degan When he was still playing for Atlanta, he refused the penalty kick awarded by the referee in the game against Bologna. This time when the referee made a mistake, Degan stood up again, but he refused the penalty, which may lead to AC Milan lost the game in the end, but Degan's spirit of fair play deserves a standing ovation!"
Maldini looked at Digan with a determined face, waved his hands, let his teammates disperse, and walked to Digan's side: "Although doing so may cause us to lose the game, but you did the right thing, even if you want to win , we also want to win dignifiedly!"
Digan just smiled and didn't say anything. It's not that he's so noble, it's just something that doesn't exist. He doesn't want it. Even if it will make him win the championship, he doesn't want it. To win, you have to win openly and rely on a point that doesn't exist. If he wins the ball and wins, even if he gets the championship trophy, he won't feel safe holding it.
But not everyone can understand Digan's thoughts like Maldini. Most of the AC Milan fans in the stands obviously cannot forgive Digan's approach.
The team fell behind and got such a good chance of a penalty kick. The opponent's main goalkeeper, Lehmann, might be sent off with a red card. Such a good chance, but Degan actually refused, just because of that damned sportsmanship, What the hell.
"Who does that bastard think he is? If he loses the game, can he take the responsibility?"
"That self-righteous bastard, he will pay for his decision to be a bastard!"
For the fans, all they care about is the championship, which can make them happy. No one likes to lose, especially AC Milan, who have experienced the Istanbul night, they have had enough disappointment.
But now Digan's decision is very likely to make them taste the bitter fruit of failure again, how can they not be angry.
But at this moment, they were so angry that they couldn't change anything. The referee respected Degan's decision and canceled the penalty kick. Degan won applause, but more scolding came from AC Milan fans.
The game continued, and Arsenal, who had escaped the catastrophe, played more conservatively, making up their minds to keep the lead of this ball until they won the first championship trophy in the history of the club.
Digan is still looking for opportunities. The competition must be upright, but it is even more important to win!
