Many Juventus players were seeing such a bizarre penalty kick for the first time in their career.
They rushed to the referee, saying that Tang Long's penalty was a foul, it couldn't be passed—
A penalty kick, that must be a shot!
But the professionally trained referee, obviously with a much richer reserve of football knowledge than these Juventus players, signaled the goal was valid.
It turned out.
This was a collaboration Tang Long had planned with Bony before the match.
Once they had such an opportunity, the two decided to execute this unconventional penalty kick and thoroughly fool Buffon.
When Tang Long first mentioned this idea, Bony was quite apprehensive, saying what if the ball didn't go in?
After all, it's Buffon we're facing here, won't we be laughed at by the media?
But Tang Long said it didn't matter, we just want to play a good trick on Buffon and completely dispel this Italian's arrogance.
Sure enough, once the ball went in, Buffon was utterly dejected~
