章 59: Black

There are different types of rain. Although it was considered a drizzle at that point, the drops were rather rapid. The weather report from the day before predicted that there could be a little up to a mid-sized downpour and it looked like it would not stop before the end of the game. 

For once, Chen Huafeng had forgotten to bring an umbrella; it was not until Xiao Zhang opened one for him that he realized his clothes were already soaked. Still, his thoughts were not on the match, but on that referee.

Kaka's beautiful tackle had been called a shoving foul; the ball had been out of bounds, but he gestured for them to play on. When Kaka fell to a tackle and the ball was still with Yang Pan, he ignored the offensive advantage, whistling for the game to stop instead.

And then there was the offside, which he totally ignored. He allowed Ma Ni to score freely, adding to Yingcai's advantage.

This referee!
