The curtain fell on the 24th round of the Chinese Super League on August 27th, Beijing time. In Wuhan Sanzhen's passionate home field, a promotion horse Nantong Zhiyun suffered a 4-2 defeat. Two consecutive victories of Wuhan Sanzhen jumped to sixth in the table, 39 points behind the good results, but hides an unexpected dramatic end.
The match was about to enter injury time, Wuhan Three Town was expected to extend the score to 5-2, however, the two international players Xie Pengfei and Wei Shihao in front of the open goal opportunity, staged a jaw-dropping "goal drought".
Just as Three Town were heading into the first minute of extra time with a 4-2 lead, they continued to attack. Substitute Wei Shihao rushed to the bottom line like an arrow from a teammate's precise direct line and delivered a timely and accurate cross. The left side of Nantong Zhiyun's goal was empty, and Xie Pengfei was facing an almost empty half of the goal.
Perhaps because of the lack of confidence, Xie Pengfei did not choose to shoot, but instead chose to pass the ball. Wei Shihao was unprepared for this and passed the ball back in a panic. Xie Pengfei, also panicked, kicked the ball away again. The two of them played "ping pong" in front of Nantong Zhiyun's goal, but never chose to shoot.
At this point, the three foreign aid Malcolm in the middle of the penalty area witnessed this absurd scene, all shocked, incredulous of what happened in front of them. Fortunately, this missed goal did not have too much impact on the outcome of the game, otherwise Wei Shihao and Xie Pengfei would have faced more verbal abuse from the fans.
Numerous netizens have said, see the two popular international players in front of the goal so grasp ability is insufficient, Chinese fans for the future of the national team's confidence and expectations can not help but feel disheartened.
