Chapter 1234 Advancing to the semi-finals of the King's Cup, Emery held an emergency meeting wi
The game was played on January 1, and Sevilla returned triumphantly.
However, as Ye Chen and Emery's words appeared in the media, they instantly detonated the entire Internet.
There is support for Ye Chen.
But some people scolded Ye Chen for "being a good boy even though he got an advantage"!
Of course, there are also some people who hate Asians and have begun to take advantage of Ye Chen’s personal platform, insulting him and smearing him.
Many fans intercepted these words and denounced these people who promoted racism.
Just when the Internet was in turmoil, the chairman of the La Liga Football Association personally stepped down and said, "This issue has tarnished the image of football. Whether it is Ye or any other player, as long as they encounter racist insults, they will get the support of me and the Spanish Football Association." support."
Subsequently, the Professional Players Federation FIFPRO issued a statement in support of Ye Chen: "The abhorrent racism against professional football players not only shocked the victims, but also caused social hatred on a global scale."
"Of course, no one expected that Ye's words at the post-game press conference would be criticized and humiliated, and he would also receive a lot of harsh criticism on social media - when did it become a mistake to protect one's own rights?"
But this is only the beginning.
The fastest responder this time was the Chinese Embassy in Spain. Their ambassador spoke out through his own platform, "Spain is undeniably a beautiful country, and football is their favorite sport. However, the best players in the world have suffered. For such unbearable treatment, we need the Spanish Football Association to give a reasonable explanation and proper handling! Ye Chen is the banner of Chinese football, and we will not allow him to be treated like this!"
When he saw this statement, Ye Chen was stunned.
But there is a warm current surging in my heart——
This is the romance of the Chinese people!
Maybe Ye Chen can't represent the national football team, but he is always Chinese!
If something goes wrong, the country will always be his strongest backing.
Of course, the German side also reacted immediately, "It is necessary for FIFA and the Spanish League to take serious measures because we cannot let fascism and racism take over the football field! Ye is also the new representative of our German football. We He will never be allowed to suffer unfair treatment!"
Things got bigger.
They say football has nothing to do with politics.
But the category of racial discrimination is too big——
Sevilla lodged a complaint directly with Spain's National Prosecutor's Office.
And a righteous statement on the official website: "Hateful and racist attacks must be permanently eradicated from our society. Real Madrid hopes that all those with responsibility and ability will take immediate and decisive action to address the evils of racism, xenophobia and hatred." "
The role of high-definition cameras is reflected.
They documented the ugly faces of Valencia fans.
Valencia, which had always kept a low profile, was forced to stand up and said it would deal with the fans who were agitated and threw things at Ye Chen.
In the end, only three fans were handed over.
But this obviously cannot satisfy Sevilla.
Finally, with the intervention of the Prosecutor's Office, Valencia police arrested 15 suspects suspected of racial hate crimes.
The Spanish leader also expressed through social media: Sports should be based on the values of tolerance and respect, and a zero-tolerance attitude towards racism in football must be adopted. Hatred and xenophobia should not occupy a position in Spanish football or society.
Finally, 15 people were brought to justice, and this was the end.
Valencia also suffered a penalty of banning fans from entering the home court for three games——
In the second half of the season, it’s all about the championship.
But without the support of fans, Valencia can be said to be suffering the consequences.
In the 21st round, they challenged Málaga away from home. The exhausted Valencia performed like sleepwalking and were swept 3-0.
In the 22nd round, they again challenged the Spaniard away from home, but also lost the game.
Although they won one of the following three home games, they had a draw and a loss in the other two games, putting them out of contention for a Champions League spot.
Only participating in the Europa League while spending a huge transfer fee would be a huge failure for both the fans and the club.
Of course, these are all things for later...
This time anti-racism is like a whirlwind, sweeping the football world and the whole world.
Countless black players who had been discriminated against also jumped out and cheered for Ye Chen.
Only then did everyone understand——
Although Ye Chen did not react excessively during the competition, he was really full of energy.
Of course, the most important thing is that this incident served as a warning to the monkeys.
On January 1, the second round of the Copa del Rey comes.
Emery was very stubborn in this game - he continued to play with the full substitute lineup from the previous game.
Ye Chen was not even included in the main roster because of the racial discrimination incident.
Many people are watching the excitement and want to see Sevilla eliminated at home.
But Sevilla, who came on as a substitute, defeated their opponent 1-0 at home.
In the 37th minute, Wu Lei received a direct pass from right back Kimmich and went to the meeting alone. This time he did not waste the opportunity and succeeded in volleying from the near corner.
This was also the only goal of the game.
Sevilla also successfully advanced to the semi-finals with the advantage of away goals——
According to the division, their opponent is the winner of Malaga and Athletic Bilbao.
Because the two games started at the same time, Sevilla ended early.
Athletic Bilbao also relied on Susaeta's assist for Aduris' anti-offside goal in the 48th minute to eliminate Malaga with a total score of 1-0.
The Basque Lions meet Sevilla in the semi-finals.
The other group is Barcelona vs. Yellow Submarine Villarreal.
After the introduction of Suarez this season, Barcelona is also fighting on the third front.
Of course, apart from the initial run-in, their lineup's offensive power has also been demonstrated.
Here I have to mention former Sevilla core Rakitic.
When Xavi and Xiaobai were injured one after another, Rakitic successfully revitalized the offensive power of the frontcourt. In just half a season, his transfer price soared from the previous 2300 million to 3500 million——
This also fully illustrates the importance of the platform.
After Sevilla's successive victories, the players began to drift.
A very arrogant atmosphere began to spread.
Emery also realized something was wrong and held an emergency meeting within the team.
"Winning 20 consecutive league games is indeed a great achievement that should be proud of and remembered for a lifetime. But I want everyone to start forgetting our winning streak now!"
"In fact, our real test has just begun!"
"We have reached the semi-finals of the King's Cup. Does anyone want to give up now?"
"Of course not!" Many players expressed their opinions.
"We're already in the semi-finals, of course we have to make it to the finals and win the championship!"
"Yes, we want to win the King's Cup!"
Emery nodded, "I know that no one wants to give up. If we can pursue the victory and stabilize our points advantage in the league, then we can properly rotate the lineup in the next semi-finals!"
"But if our league collapses, I will give up the cup competition as soon as possible to protect the league!"
“So let’s continue the winning streak and prepare in advance for the final sprint!”
Anyone who has watched the entire league knows that there are countless teams that fall behind at the last minute.
Especially Arsenal in the 2022-2023 season, they stayed at the top of the Premier League for 248 days, but in the end Manchester City won the Premier League championship with a wave of consecutive victories.
This is due to Arsenal's lack of depth in the lineup and injuries to key players.
And if you want to avoid injuries, the best way is to rotate——
After all, excessive fatigue can easily cause injuries!
