I AM the Football Star
Chapter 903 - 219: Red Card! Red Card! Saint Lu Yang!
Bang!
Bernulin flew in from the side with a tackle.
Chiavich won valuable time for him.
However, Robben paused, stepped on the football, and stood still.
Bernulin slid past in front of Robben.
At this moment, time stopped once again.
Robben was focused on the goal, and he exchanged glances with the goalkeeper Audi.
They both knew, the most crucial shot was about to happen!
Robben vowed that he would score this most crucial goal for him!
In this year’s Champions League, he missed an important solo shot, and as a result, AC Milan reversed to beat Bayern Munich and lifted the Champions League trophy!
The same mistake, Robben would not make a second time.
So he calmed down now.
He had a premonition that he would definitely score this goal.
Similarly, Audi looked at Robben, cold sweat involuntarily dripping down.
It was the final moments again.
Facing the shot from a France Team player again.
This time, could he save it?
Audi had no certainty in his heart.
But he absolutely could not show weakness; he needed to uphold not only his former world’s number one goalkeeper dignity but also the dignity of Italian Football!
The Italy Team must defend!
But soon, this ultimate confrontation between the forward and the goalkeeper was disrupted.
Because...
Bernulin!
He slid past Robben’s foot.
Robben easily bypassed Canyes, Chiavich, and Bernulin, like a god descending, unstoppable.
This goal would be the top highlight of Robben’s future career goals!
And the Italy Team and these three players would forever become the backdrop for Robben, recounted by future generations again and again.
As an excellent defender, Bernulin could be a backdrop.
But he absolutely couldn’t accept passing through Robben’s world without doing anything!
He...
Reached out!
Robben had his right foot on the football while his left supporting foot was grabbed by the hands of Bernulin, who was sliding past, forcibly pulling him down!
Bernulin went mad!
He didn’t know what he was doing!
But he knew he had to do something for the Italy Team!
Until Robben hit him, he suddenly realized this was the European Cup final overtime!
The score was currently four to three, Italy Team was leading.
And where they were, was inside Italy Team’s penalty area!
So...
Whistle!
The main referee blew a whistle and decisively pointed to the penalty spot!
Simultaneously, he rushed towards Bernulin’s direction, pulling out a card.
"No!"
Chiavich cried out in despair, rushing out first to block the main referee!
"No, please listen to my explanation, it’s not like what you saw!" Chiavich’s voice was trembling.
Bernulin was one of his best friends, and the two had collaborated nearly ten years in the national team and the club.
He knew too well the consequences of this foul.
This would ruin Bernulin’s life!
He’s already thirty-five!
He wouldn’t have another European Cup!
He wouldn’t play much longer before retiring.
Why be so cruel to him in the last moments of his career?
Could an old veteran have a dignified departure?
However, the main referee pushed Chiavich away, then pointed at Chiavich to imply if you touch me again, I’ll card you!
Chiavich was at a loss.
"Are you really playing football?"
At this time, Robben, who was pulled down in the penalty area, got up and started swearing at Bernulin.
He had a hundred percent certainty in that shot!
Audi’s mind was already disoriented!
Robben’s consecutive bypass of three players and the most crucial European Cup showdown, these gimmicks crushed Audi.
The seemingly calm Audi would definitely react slower than usual.
Robben was well aware of this, and with sufficient thinking time before the shot, his shooting would only be stronger than usual.
He was sure to win!
And yet...
Was Bernulin really playing football?
If he had tackled Robben with his feet, Robben would have accepted it.
But evidently, Robben’s shoot-and-stop was so skillful, Bernulin had already slid past in front of Robben.
Yet Bernulin actually stretched out his hands to grab Robben’s leg?
Was this something a person did?
Facing Robben’s anger, Bernulin didn’t respond.
He just lay quietly on the turf, gazing at the sky above the stadium, tears slowly flowing.
He didn’t regret it.
But he knew his European Cup... was over.
Sure enough, the main referee rushed over and pulled out a red card.
Undisputed!
Even, post-match UEFA would definitely apply additional suspensions and fines to Bernulin!
The action was non-football.
Though not injurious, it was also an extremely vile behavior.
Lu Yang came rushing back, but the situation was decided, and he was powerless.
This person Robben was really... too damn strong!
How did Izalelt deal with Robben back then?
A player who hung the title "world’s number one" before his name was truly invincible.
Only invincible could be worthy of the title "world’s number one!"
Italy Team’s players still refused to accept fate, still pleading around the main referee.
"No, no, no, I was the closest, I saw everything clear. Bernulin didn’t do it on purpose, he opened his hands while tackling to maintain his body’s balance, and then his arm caught Robben’s supporting foot! He had no intention to trip Robben..." Audi tried to describe what he saw.
But evidently, this too could be his beautified version of events.
Though Bernulin opened his hands to maintain body balance.
