Bright guns are easy to dodge, dark arrows are difficult to prevent! If you are knocked to the ground by your opponent on the pitch, and then the player on the opponent's bench takes the opportunity to take the ball and "smash" you lying on the ground, will you be angry? A similar scene occurred in the second round of the World Cup in Qatar between Australia and Tunisia. After "smashing" the opponent, the Tunisian players on the bench also secretly had fun.
In Australia's match against Tunisia, Chinese Super League veteran Mooy made a brilliant start. As the playmaking core of the Kangaroos' midfield, Mooy played well, whether it was defensive interceptions or offensive passes, he could get the job done. However, the protagonist of this article is not the former Shanghai foreign signing, but Duke, a striker from a Japanese second-division team who wears the number 15 shirt of the Australian national team.
In the 23rd minute, Australia attacked and Duque scored the only goal of the game by leaping high in the Tunisian penalty area. With this goal, the Kangaroos scored their first World Cup victory, which was also Australia's third victory in the World Cup.
Australia had a clear advantage throughout the game, and Duke, who scored one goal, also became the main target of the opponent's defense. In the 30th minute of the game, a scene of spicy eyes happened. Duke was knocked down from behind by his opponent and lay on the ground crying out in pain and complaining about his opponent (above).
However, just as Duke was complaining, suddenly, a ball hit his head directly (above). A sudden "smash" stunned Duke. He looked up at the direction of the ball and saw that the ball that had hit him was from the Tunisian bench. So Duke and his teammates went straight forward and angrily scolded their opponents (below)!
The camera then turns to a player on the Tunisian bench (below). I saw that he stretched out his hand to defend something, as if to say "not intentionally".
However, the perpetrator was not the bald player, but a unkempt player next to him. Later, the courtside referee called the player to his side and asked him to shake hands with Duke (below), which resolved the conflict.
However, as soon as Duque left, the Tunisian player who returned to the bench had just taken the bench, he smiled strangely (below). Whoever scores my goal will smash whom? Was this smash done on purpose, or was it unintentional?
So, what exactly happened on the scene? After Duque was knocked down, the ball rolled to the Tunisian bench, and Mebri, a 19-year-old wearing the number 8 shirt, picked up the ball (below).
Then he threw his hands forward hard, and the ball arced in the air, falling straight down and hitting Duke's head directly (below). Although this smash does not hurt much, it is extremely insulting. Unable to stand such humiliation, Australia's goalscoring heroes were outraged on the spot.
Although he didn't have a chance to shine in the World Cup, 19-year-old Mebry still "snatched" the scene in an alternative way and showed his face. Many substitutes did not declare their presence in front of the cameras throughout the World Cup because they did not have the opportunity to play, and failed to show themselves in front of fans around the world, but at this moment, Mebry did.
Did Mebre do it on purpose? We don't know, but only he knows this in his own heart. With a draw in Denmark and a defeat to Australia in the first match, Tunisia will face France in the final round. They have participated in 4 World Cups before, none of them have been able to qualify, and this time will probably be no exception, because France is an insurmountable mountain for them!
