Chapter 337 Wait for your death!

The Chelsea player's goal once again ignited the anger of the Porto players. After the restart, they began to play more aggressively and their movements became larger and larger. From time to time, people fell on their backs on the scene, and the referee Sarr obviously I have completely lost control of the game.

In the 72nd minute, forward McCarthy broke into Chelsea's penalty area. After goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar had already attacked in advance and firmly controlled the ball at his feet, he still did not restrain his movements and directly knocked down van der Sar. , causing the Dutch goalkeeper to be injured and dismissed, and he himself was sentenced to a second yellow card and dismissed directly.

Five minutes later, Makelele collided with Mendes, who was playing as a defensive midfielder in this game. After being carried to the sidelines for treatment by the team doctor, he returned to the court.

Seeing that the two sides were getting more and more angry, and the referee was frequently taking out cards, Ye Qiu immediately asked Tenkat to make a substitution, replacing the injured Lampard, fearing that Lampard would be injured again during the game.

But the scene was still in chaos.

The moment referee Sarr blew the final whistle, this game was destined to become the focus of fans and media around the world, not because of his score, but because this game should have been the focus of the fans. The much-talked-about Champions League semi-finals turned into a farce of red and yellow card battles.

The referee showed a total of 11 yellow cards and 2 red cards in this game. One of the red cards was given to Porto forward McCarthy, and the other was given to Chelsea head coach Ye Qiu. 7 of the 11 yellow cards were given to Porto, 4 were given to Chelsea, of which McCarthy accounted for 2 of Porto's 7 yellow cards.

But this is not the most depressing thing. What is really impressive is that although Chelsea defeated Porto 1:0 at home and won the first round, they paid a heavy price. The main core Ronaldo Dinho suffered an ankle injury and will miss all games this season due to injury.

The main goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar sprained his right hand and will be out for at least a month and will bid farewell to the season early. However, Lampard, Terry and Cannavaro, who were originally injured, are all safe and sound. On the contrary, Makelele said after the game If an old injury is found to have recurred, he will also be absent. The specific time will not be known until the test results come out.

Three generals, just because of this game, Chelsea paid a heavy price!

Ye Qiu was only allowed to walk into the locker room 15 minutes after the game ended. What he saw was a group of indignant Chelsea players. Their eyes were obviously burning with rage. This made him feel that as the head coach, he , something should be done for them.

To put it bluntly, he wants to break the jar now!

Mourinho was sitting and waiting at the press conference at Stamford Bridge. The entire press conference hall was very quiet because there was a group of crazy Chelsea fans outside cursing the Portuguese, and many reporters and media who were biased towards Chelsea were I obviously don't like him because he's so mean.

But there are also some reporters and media who are biased towards Porto and believe that this is nothing. Even in the Premier League, when weak teams challenge strong teams, don't they often adopt such extreme and destructive tactics? Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, they have also encountered this kind of experience in the Premier League. All strong teams will encounter it.

If you are afraid, you are timid, and you lose because of this, it proves that you are not strong enough!

This is a Rashomon topic that no one can convince. Those who favor Chelsea will tell you that you cannot adopt such extreme tactics just because you want to win, but those who favor Porto will tell you that you are too strong. , If I don’t do this, I won’t win at all. The final result will definitely be a loud quarrel between the two parties, which will not help in the end.

Silence may be the best result now!

Ye Qiu walked into the press conference half an hour late, but what surprised everyone was that he didn't have the anger on his face as they had expected, but instead had a faint sneer. expression.

"I'm so sorry. You know, I can't enter the locker room until 15 minutes after the game!" Ye Qiu joked about being sent off the field with a red card, still with a sneer.

"I was just in the dressing room and got a couple of messages from my assistants that I'm sure will be of great interest to you."

"My main core, Ronaldinho, was severely kicked on his right ankle and ended the season early. It's great that he can rest at home peacefully. I'm happy for him!"

"My main goalkeeper, Edwin van der Sar, has this part on his right hand!" Ye Qiu patted his elbow, "It was sprained due to a violent impact. It will last for at least a month. Look, how good he is. You can take a rest too!”

"In addition, my main defensive midfielder, Makelele, is now being sent to the hospital for testing. It is initially estimated that there is no way to end the season early, so I must congratulate them here for being able to rest, and also congratulate them. Mr. Mourinho and everyone at Porto, you lost on the pitch but won on the outside, congratulations!”

Ye Qiu's almost sarcastic sarcasm finally made Mourinho sitting aside unable to bear it any longer.

"I don't know what the reason for Mr. Ye Qiu's sarcasm and sarcasm is. If it is because his players are injured, I am very sorry for it, but I don't think it has anything to do with us. With these players, or without these players, I don’t think it makes much difference to us!” Mourinho responded calmly, still expressionless.

"That's so well said!" Ye Qiu nodded with a smile, "Yes, it makes no difference to the game whether they are there or not, because we will definitely win. I even said it here today, we will definitely win in the second round. Kill Porto in the stadium, I will baptize the Dragon Stadium, and I will avenge my players!"

When he said the last word, Ye Qiu almost gritted his teeth. He had never hated it so much.

"I want everyone to know that conspiracy and tricks can't defeat Chelsea, and your despicable and destructive tactics can't defeat us. On the contrary, this will only arouse our anger and make us stronger. We will kill you ball by ball at the Dragon Stadium and wait to die!”

With a bang, Mourinho punched the table hard. He gritted his teeth and glared at Ye Qiu fiercely.

All along, in the post-match press conference, regardless of the situation between the two sides in the game, the head coach would at least leave a little leeway after the game, and would not fight face to face like Ye Qiu, but now Ye Qiu said this to his face. , no one can bear it.

"Then I will definitely wait for you at the Dragon Stadium!" After saying that, Mourinho turned and left.

Normally, the reporters would have been crazy about this scene, because it was all news. But surprisingly, they were all so quiet, because no one had ever seen Ye Qiu get so angry.

Perhaps it is because for a long time in the past, Ye Qiu has always given people the impression of being good-tempered and easy to talk to, making people mistakenly think that he is a gentle man who will not get angry. However, they did not expect that now that the gentle man would get angry, he would actually He also had such great momentum that he was not inferior to Ferguson at all, and he even pointed at his opponent and scolded him in front of him.

No one dared to stand up to Ye Qiu's anger at this time, so they all chose to be quiet.

"I have always had great respect for the referee. I have always warned and instilled respect into my players. I told them that the referee is the hardest working person on the court, but it is difficult to make everyone feel Satisfied poor characters, but without their efforts there wouldn't be a complete game, so we have to give them the utmost respect!"

Ye Qiu's words were also recognized by almost all the reporters present. Some people even commented that Ye Qiu is the coach who respects the referee the most, because when both Ferguson and Wenger criticized the referee, only Ye Qiu chose to be considerate.

Of course, some people say that this is because Chelsea's results are good and the misjudgment did not affect Chelsea's results, which is correct.

The same thing, the same penalty, if you sit in two different positions, you will get two different results.

"I have never been a fragile person who cannot bear the results. I rarely give instructions or even put pressure on the referee. And now, I will not say how the referee misjudged this game because I have always We all believe that when we make an accusation, we have to make sure we have enough justification."

"Now, I feel I have to stand up and ask a few questions calmly."

Although Ye Qiu said he was calm, in fact, he was still a little excited and raised his right hand above his head.

"Everyone knows that the most effective way to disrupt a team's offense is to disrupt its offensive rhythm, so in order to protect the interests of the attacker, there is a principle of offensive advantage in our football rules, but here In one game, I didn’t, oh, I can’t say not, I can only say that I rarely see this principle applied to us at Chelsea.”

"If any of you want to ask me why this game was so intermittent and fragmented, then please go back and watch the video, count the number of whistles, and then count when Chelsea holds the ball and prepares to attack. How many times should we not call fouls? And then count our opponents, what about them!"

"I am very objective because I know very well what I am encountering and what I am facing!"

"What I also want to say is that it is indeed very necessary to maintain fierce competition in an event, but the most important thing in an event is not fierce competition, but fairness and fairness. If this is lost, the fans will We don’t need to watch the life-and-death battle between the two teams, just watch the performances of some actors.”

Many people have always thought that a black whistle is a misjudgment, that is, a penalty kick, a red card, an opponent's player being sent off, etc. In fact, it is a very low-level favoritism. The real high-level favoritism occurs when you attack, intentionally or unintentionally. A direct foul will be called, causing the game to enter a dead ball state and preventing your offense from launching.

When one team has been struggling to launch an offense and the game is fragmented and intermittent, but another team is able to play a continuous offense, then congratulations, you are dead!

"Here, I must apologize to all the fans who came to Stamford Bridge today and watched this game, because I did something that even I couldn't believe. The referee told me at the time, don't Challenging his authority, he then told him that he believed his enforcement was fair and that he adhered to his professional ethics."

"At that moment, my anger controlled my reason, and I made an inappropriate move. I am willing to apologize for it and accept all the consequences, but I will not regret anything I have done!"

"Finally, I also want to tell all Chelsea players and fans here that no matter what happens next, I hope that we can all fight side by side and that we can all advance and retreat together as we did in the past. I believe that as long as we remain united, we will be able to win. No force can defeat us!"

Ye Qiu's self-defense and accusation at the post-match press conference immediately caused an uproar in the media around the world.

Regarding this top-level event that should have been talked about by countless fans, it eventually turned into such a farce. The referee can be said to have contributed a lot. At least there were very obvious flaws in his many enforcement actions during the game. question.

The French newspaper L'Equipe publicly criticized the referee Sarr's law enforcement on the front page the next day. L'Equipe believed that Sarr, as France's top international referee, was assigned to officiate the Champions League semi-finals. The final was such an important event, which directly caused Thrall to be unable to control the game scene.

Even the French, who have always had the habit of favoring domestic celebrities, admitted in the newspaper this time that Sarr's enforcement was indeed soft, which is undoubtedly more beneficial to Porto, which advocates strength confrontation and aggressive defense. For Chelsea, which has an absolute advantage in strength, it is a disaster.

"Saar's immaturity is also reflected in the timing of his whistle. Ye Qiu rarely criticizes the referee, but this time he couldn't help but stand up and criticize him. He had no excuse for his offending the referee, and He took responsibility, but criticized the referee's timing of blowing the whistle. He believed that Sarr often blew the whistle at key points when Chelsea was preparing and planning the attack, causing the game to fall into a dead ball state, which was very detrimental to Chelsea. "

"From the perspective of the game, we did see that Sarr, who was severely inexperienced, did have huge flaws in utilizing the principle of offensive advantage. In some fouls that should have been passed because of the offensive advantage, But he seems very careless, and he seems very hesitant about some fouls that should be given a severe warning or even a card."

In this regard, L'Equipe also said, "We can understand the idea of ​​an inexperienced referee who wants to control the game well, because all referees hope to be able to appropriately base their decisions on their own while maintaining the smoothness of the game and the suspense of the game. Ideas to guide the game, for example, in a strong dialogue, we are often very cautious when a red card appears after the start, because it will kill the game and make the game lose suspense early. "

"But Sal's enforcement of this game did not reflect his wishes at all. On the contrary, his clumsiness murdered this game and also murdered some fans' expectations for this game."

Not only the French newspaper L'Equipe, but also the German newspaper Bild also fiercely criticized Sarr's poor law enforcement in reports.

As an influential and authoritative newspaper, like France's L'Equipe, they did not link the referee's enforcement with terms such as black whistle, but they also made it very clear that Sarr's enforcement in this game was very harmful to Chelsea. unfavorable.

"We can understand Ye Qiu's dissatisfaction. In fact, except for what Ye Qiu said at the post-match press conference, except for Porto, everything else reflected the situation at that time very fairly. Of course, we are more willing to believe it, which led to The reason why the game is in this situation is due to Thrall’s own lack of ability.”

"Generally speaking, any referee will make mistakes. This is inevitable, but an experienced referee will properly balance the game situation. For example, if there was a misjudgment of this team before, he will give appropriate punishment later. Some compensation to make up for this, but Sal seems to be very confident that he is not wrong. "

"We can also clearly see from the live video of the game that when Ye Qiu asked Sal in a very emotional manner whether he knew what he was doing and whether he followed fairness and professional ethics, Sal answered without hesitation. , and then he was pushed away by an angry Ye Qiu. This was the first red card in Ye Qiu's coaching career! "

"One thing we have to say is that Ye Qiu definitely has reasons to be angry. Not only him, but any head coach will be angry when encountering such a game, because they have worked so hard We’ve just reached the Champions League semi-finals, who wants to be murdered like this?”

"Sal lacks officiating experience and we all wonder why the UEFA Referees Committee would assign such an inexperienced referee to officiate such an important match?"

Unlike the media in countries such as France, Germany, and Spain, which are relatively neutral and objective and have a gentle tone, almost all media in the UK blasted the referees, believing that they were trying to murder the best team in the Premier League. This is because UEFA does not want the two Premier League heroes to come together in the final, nor does it want Chelsea to successfully defend the title.

Even the Guardian, which has always been cautious, said this time, "We do not agree with Ye Qiu's offending the referee, but we must also see that the cause of the matter came from referee Sal's biased behavior. Law enforcement has affected Chelsea, and this is why Ye Qiu is angry."

At the same time, almost all the media around the world are accusing Porto of this aggressive style of play. They killed three of the opponent's generals in one game. No one can stand it. The Italian media is even condemning Porto and Mourinho. Rinho is at the forefront because Porto defeated the Milan duo in Serie A, and the two sides have long had a close relationship.

This incident spread all over the world overnight. Not only did Ye Qiu become famous, but also Sarr and Mourinho became famous. Ye Qiu's mobile phone also became famous, because many media believed that it was Ye Qiu's mobile phone that facilitated Chelsea's adjustment and goal in the second half.

And this time, UEFA also responded and handled it very efficiently and quickly!
