I don't know if it's a mistake or carelessness. Wang Gang, a 35-year-old former international player, made a low-level fatal mistake in the 17th round of the Chinese Super League against Shandong Taishan, which almost caused the home team Beijing Guoan to concede a goal. Seeing Wang Gang's surprise operation, the fans laughed. What's going on?
It turned out that in the 83rd minute of the game, the home team Beijing Guoan led 2-0. At this time, Shandong Taishan sent a corner kick, but the away team headed a header, and the ball was pushed to the right side of the Guoan goal near the bottom line, and it seemed to be rolling outside the bottom line. Guoan right-back Wang Gang quickly followed, guarding the ball and waiting for it to go out of bounds. Once the ball goes out of bounds, it's Guoan's goalkick.
However, the ball was very disobedient, and it was about to go out of bounds, but it just rolled forward along the bottom line, and it seemed to be out of bounds, and it seemed to be a little close. At this time, Shandong Taishan foreign aid Croisan also followed behind and watched the development of the ball (above). The result was not long in coming, and the fans in front of the TV found out: Crosan came back with the ball to shoot and almost scored.
What the hell is going on here, and what happened in between? About 10 seconds later, the live broadcast camera was finally explained, and the truth was revealed.
It turned out that Wang Gang was jogging with the roll of the ball, and just as the ball stopped, he looked back at Crosan and signaled that the ball was out of bounds (above). After signaling the ball out of bounds, he raised his right hand to signal to the referee before turning and walking back. In this regard, commentator Li Xin said that he thought the ball was out of bounds, but Crosan took the ball away, this is Wang Gang, right?
However, as soon as the former national football right-back turned around, he found that there was a big movement behind him, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that Crosan actually took the ball into the stadium and ran towards the Guoan penalty area. Only then did he panic, and he was busy chasing after him.
So, did the ball go out of bounds? Just after the ball stopped, Wang Gang told Crosan about the point when the ball was out of bounds, and we took a screenshot and zoomed in on the image and found that the ball with white dots really didn't seem to be completely out of bounds. It may be for this reason that the linesman did not raise the flag to signal that the ball was out of bounds.
As an old international player with rich game experience, Wang Gang should not make such a low-level mistake. Fortunately, it is a game for a club in the Chinese Super League, and if you appear in an important international match as a defender of the national football team, you may suffer a fatal punishment at any time.
The performance of the right-backs of both teams in this game was more eye-catching, Guoan was Wang Gang, and Shandong Taishan was Wu Xinghan. Former international Xu Yang, who is a commentator, also has something to say about the performance of these two, and he said that he suggested that the national team coaching staff also look at the two right-backs, because they both played relatively well in this position. I never thought that Wang Gang would make such a fatal mistake later.
