Chapter 238: Shanghai Fantasy
Sure enough, when the ball hit the goalpost just as Wu Hao had planned, ricocheting narrowly outside the goal, the entire stadium, including the goalpost and Cristiano Ronaldo along with the other Real Madrid players, was stunned.
From their perspective, Ronaldo’s shot seemed like a certain goal, but it ended up hitting the post. How could Ronaldo believe it?
“Impossible!” Ronaldo looked at the scene before him, feeling extremely frustrated and angry, especially since this was not the first time today he had faced such an outcome.
Normally, his shots would be certain goals, but today he was missing by just a little bit.
It was easy to imagine how upset Ronaldo must have been. Being someone with a proud and arrogant personality, encountering such frustrating situations continuously would definitely affect his mood.
So, Ronaldo erupted immediately, shouting and holding his head in frustration on the field. The referee, seeing Ronaldo’s loss of control, attempted to intervene, but Ronaldo ignored him.
Eventually, the Real Madrid coach on the sidelines, seeing the situation, signaled to the referee to make a substitution. The coach had been wanting to take Ronaldo off for some time.
Since the second half, Ronaldo had become increasingly agitated after several seemingly certain shots missed by a narrow margin. The coach had intended to prevent Ronaldo from taking the penalty kick Real Madrid had just been awarded.
