Chapter 270: Going to the Devil's Home Field
"This ball is a good reflection of Yang Fan's characteristics, his keen sense of smell in front of the 'goal' caught the passing route of his teammates, and successfully stuck the position, a sweep 'shot' score!" Tao Wei also praised Yang Fan's goal.
Tao Wei and Duan Xuan, these two commentators can be said to have watched Yang Fan's progress and growth in the past year or so, and have also witnessed this young man grow from an unknown youth team's 'shooter' to Wolfsburg's top scorer, to the Bundesliga Golden Boot, and to the European Golden Boy Award star.
Now, Yang Fan is arguably the most influential footballer in China. Including the two commentators, they are all proud and proud of every bit of progress of Yang Fan Yang Fan, and they are all proud of Yang Fan's performance in every game, cheering and proud of his every goal.
It's just that the biggest regret is that such a 'colorful' player was excluded from the 'door' of the national team because of the conflict with the Football Association and could not play for the country.
This year is the Olympic year, and the Chinese Football Association gambled on the Olympics and shouted the slogan of reaching the semi-finals. However, everyone knows about this big satellite released by the Football Association. Under such goals and tasks, the Chinese Football Association still did not 'reveal' the intention of recruiting Yang Fan, which shows how much they dislike Yang Fan, which almost eliminates the idea of many football 'fans' looking forward to Yang Fan wearing a national jersey.
Of course, in other words, even if the Chinese Football Association recruits Yang Fan, with Yang Fan's personality, unless the Chinese Football Association apologizes publicly, he will definitely not be willing to return to the national team. According to our consistent perception of the Chinese Football Association, it is simply impossible for them to apologize to a player!
For people like Tao Wei and Duan Xuan who know more about the inside of the Chinese Football Association, they have long known that Yang Fan will not have the opportunity to play for the country.
Therefore, at this time, they watched this young man kill all sides in the European arena, and while cheering for Yang Fan, the rest could only be emotional.
After the goal, Yang Fan rushed to the south stand, and he made a machine-gun shooting celebration to the ball 'fans' in the stands, which 'stirred' up the crazy factor of the entire stadium.
"Hooray!
"Hooray! Wolfsburg!" they shouted.
"Some people say that the 'mess' that happened to him recently will affect his scoring status, to be honest, I was worried before, and now, Yang used the goal to sue everyone, he is a qiēok, the outside world's speculation about his emotional disputes has not affected him, and he is also the super capable Yang Fan of the goal!" Hans sighed while cheering for Yang Fan's goal. To be honest, before the game, he and his commentary partner were also chatting about the media gossip about Yang Fan's emotional problems, and the two were speculating whether this would affect Yang Fan's state.
In the end, in this game, Wolfsburg won 2-1 at home to Duisburg, and Yang Fan scored his first league goal in the second half of the league, raising his tally in the Bundesliga this season to 20. In nineteen rounds of the league, he scored twenty goals, an average of more than one goal per game, which is really horrible.
The second goal for Wolfsburg was scored by centre-back Ricardo Costa, who took advantage of a set-piece opportunity to head in. Duisburg only scored a goal in the closing stages of the game, taking advantage of Wolfsburg's laxity.
Two minutes after the whistle blew at the end of the game, Yang Fan and his teammates applauded the ball 'fans' in the stands on the sidelines, when they heard a burst of cheers in the stands.
On the other field, a key matchup in this round has also ended, with Bayern Munich, who are ranked first in the league, and Werder Bremen, who are ranked third in the league, drawn!
In this way, the second-placed Wolfsburg fishermen profited, and their ranking rose to second place in the league!
Now, Bayern Munich is top of the standings with 39 points, while Wolfsburg is second with 38 points, just one point behind Bayern Munich. Bremen finished third with 37 points.

After playing the league against Duisburg, Yang Fan will leave for Istanbul, Turkey, with the team the next day, to prepare for the League Cup round of 32 knockout match against Galatasalej.
The next morning, Yang Fan 'handed over' some things that needed to be paid attention to to Xu Weiwei, after all, leaving the 'girl' child alone at home was always not at ease, Xu Weiwei couldn't speak German, and it was the first time to go abroad.
After the 'handover', Yang Fan set off for Istanbul with the team.
It was the 16-quarter-final match of the 2007/2008 UEFA Cup, and Wolfsburg faced Turkish side Galatasalej.
If it comes to the comparison of team strength, Wolfsburg is really not necessarily as strong as Galatasaray, Galatasaray is a Turkish giant. The three yellow stars embroidered on the Galatasaray jersey are known to those who are familiar with football, and this represents Galatasaray's unrivalled glory in the Turkish Super League.
Because the Turkish Football Association stipulates that every 5 championships can be printed on the jersey, and the three stars can be printed to represent that the team has won 15 championships, which is a number that no big club can be underestimated. The last star was imprinted in 2003, when, after Galatasaray were crowned champions with a 5-0 thrashing of local rivals Fenerbach in the league final, Galatasaray fans went on a parade around the city.
The level of the Turkish league is not bad, and the fact that it has won fifteen league titles in the Turkish league shows that the team is strong.
Let's put it this way, if you compare the history and glory of the team, Wolfsburg, as a relatively junior team in the Bundesliga, really can't compare with the Turkish team Galatasaray.
Therefore, the strength of these two teams, on the whole, Galatasaray's strength should be slightly stronger. Of course, Wolfsburg have Yang Fan, last year's European golden boy, and in terms of attacking strength, they have the confidence to threaten the goal of any team in the UEFA Cup.
However, as a Turkish team, they have the most powerful weapons! their home stadium is the Devil's Stadium, which is recognized as the whole of Europe.
There was once a survey that showed that the most reluctant road trip for teams in the top five leagues in Europe was Russia and Turkey. The former is because, if you are on a winter expedition to Russia, you can't play well in temperatures of minus 12 degrees, and there have been complaints that in the winter games in Russia, you even have to worry about whether your birdies will be frozen.
Russia is considered the Devil's Stadium because of the cold weather, but Turkey is not, their horror has nothing to do with the weather, because this is really the Devil's Stadium, whether it is Galatasalej, or Besiktas, or Fenerbahce, one of the most striking characteristics of the Turkish team is that their home stadium is very, very scary - how terrifying?
You can't even be sure that your life will be guaranteed when you play here, because you will be at great risk!
Turkey's football 'fans' are notoriously fanatical, and their ferocity is even far above that of English football hooligans and German football hooligans, because even the English, who can fight well, have suffered a big loss in front of Turkey
※※※※※※※
Turkey's reputation as the devil's home is not a blow up, it's a terrifying name forged through countless battles. The fame of Turkey's Hell home stadium comes from the 'fans' with Galatasaray Ball and that famous slogan 'Wehell (Welcome to Hell). "Turkish football 'fans' are out-and-out berserkers, and with the provocative participation of football hooligans, it is not surprising that a football match has turned into a bloody tragedy. In the semi-finals of the 2000 League Cup, two Leeds fans were stabbed to death in Istanbul, making this land between Europe and Asia terrifying.
After the World Cup qualifying play-offs between Turkey and Switzerland at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the Swiss suffered a big loss on Turkish turf, which the Turks like to call their Istanbul home stadium "hell". The brawl was a "passage to hell" for the two teams.
When the final whistle blew for the game, the Swiss players ran to the dressing room before they had time to celebrate, and their bravery made one wonder if they felt that if they ran slower, they would be in danger of dying.
According to footage released by Turkish television, the brawl appears to have been started by Swiss midfielder Hugel: his kick to Turkish physical trainer Ozdilek for no apparent reason was the trigger for "hell to lift the lid". However, the Turkish media with a journalistic conscience had to reveal that the video was carefully edited to eliminate the unfavorable footage for Turkey, and in fact it was Ozdilek who first used a "'yin' trick" to provoke and stretched out a kick to try to trip the running Swiss midfielder Behrami. At least two photographs taken from different angles have been published in the Turkish media, proving that Özdilek did indeed have "shadowless feet" at that time. It is said that the officials of the match also wrote this into the report. Luckily, Behrami dodged the move by jumping up as if dodging a tackle and continued to run towards the dressing room, but Frankfurt general Hugel, who was running behind, saw this scene and angrily launched a retaliatory 'sex' attack.
Whether premeditated or hot-headed, Hugel's attack immediately sparked the wrath of Turkish defender Arpay, who was just five yards from the road, and after contributing a penalty in the first minute, he kicked Stuttgart striker Streller, who had scored the crucial goal for Switzerland. Hugel, who had a super "attack", had reached the entrance of the passage at this time, and he immediately choked Arpay's throat from behind, but unfortunately he lost his balance and fell to the ground, and the conflict immediately detonated completely in the passage that the camera could not capture.
The hapless Swiss had to deal not only with the Turkish players, but also with the Turkish riot police, who were outnumbered and outfitted. In the 'chaos' and 'chaos', the substitute defender Grichtin, who did not play in the game, was stepped on the vital part of the root of the big 'thigh', and was rushed to the hospital for treatment due to internal bleeding, and was 'inserted' into the catheter, and was still 'urinating' blood until the next day. His teammate Lonfat was frightened and cried: "Grichtin was beaten many times by the riot police, and his whole body was covered in blood. We were attacked, it was hard to believe, beyond the boundaries of intimidation. They also said to me, "We're going to cut your throats!" and said to Frei, the 'shooter' who was instrumental in Switzerland's qualification for the Cup: "I knew the atmosphere was a bit scary, but I didn't expect it to come to this way." I was 1 scared and I never wanted to play here again. ”
Switzerland's Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Barnetta said three Turkish officials tried to kick him. Swiss goalkeeper coach Bergner was attacked by police on both the face and buttocks. Swiss midfielder Volger, who was still playing in Milan at the time, did not dare to speak until he returned to Switzerland, and as soon as the final whistle blew, the Turkish football 'fans' threw debris from the stands in all directions, "It's really not a good thing that we have to run out of the stadium to avoid being hit by debris after we finally enter the World Cup." I've never been so scared on the pitch and I wouldn't want to experience it again. They were premeditated. ”
Turkey's Goshawk News Agency even said that there were two people at the scene with official IDs, and not only confiscated a videotape they had taken, but also called them "Turkish traitors." The investigation showed that the two were not officials of the Turkish Football Association, but only good friends of an official of the Football Association, and they even participated in the beating of Rustu, the 'goalkeeper' who was still in Fenerbahce at the time, in 1999! ”
The clash that followed the match between Switzerland and Turkey shocked the entire football world at the time, when in fact, Turkey's home stadium had already been 'notorious' before this incident.
In January 2003, England and Turkey had a post-match brawl on the same pitch, and Alpayi also left a criminal record. Chinese player Hao Haidong used to play for Sheffield United's coach Warnock, who is currently running a "Weekly Lessons" column in the British newspaper "Independent", and once wrote about the necessary experience of going to Turkey to play: "The first lesson is that if you don't have protective armor and kung fu training, you should never take the team to Turkey. ”
In fact, Warnock was on hand when the post-match clash between Turkey and Switzerland broke out, as he had to watch some foreign players who were ready to bring in. He recalls the game: "For every free-kick, eight Turkish players rushed up and shoved the referee from different angles. The referee couldn't show a red card at all, because then the whole Turkish team would have to go off. In the second half, every time the Swiss got the ball, the stadium broadcast even called "Come on, let's boo them." 'I love Turkey, Istanbul is a wonderful city, but I don't want to bring my team here to play. Maybe I should threaten my players like this: If you don't get promoted at the end of the season, then we'll go to Istanbul!"
And Irish legend Cascarino also wrote in The Times that he also has horrific memories of being in Turkey, when he played for Ireland for the last time in the Euro 2000 play-offs against Turkey. Players love the excitement, but when your heart beats faster because your life is at stake, it's a different story. The Turkish police are also part of the problem, they are not here to protect you, but to remind you that you are a foreigner, this is their country, and you are alone. When there is a clash after the game, the police will even laugh and watch the Turkish football 'fans' run into the field and beat the opposing player, or they will give the away player's body a rubber 'stick' in the name of protecting the player.
From the beginning of the game, the home team's football 'fans' can't stop completely crazy, as long as the away team gets the ball, that crazy boo can scare the timid people into 'peeing' and 'pants'.
Yang Fan often receives the courtesy of boos from the opponent ball 'fans' in the game, that is because he has a holiday with the opponent ball 'fans', but in the home stadium of the Turkish team, it is not like this, they just want to boo the opponent team, which has nothing to do with whether there is a festival or not, the English have a saying "football is more important than life and death", which has been the most perfect interpretation in the Turks, in the eyes of the Turks, every football game is a victory, they want to kill every opponent!
For Turkish football fans, throwing debris into the field, such as mineral water bottles, lighters, umbrellas, and dismantled seats, is a common thing.
It's not even a matter of throwing fireworks at the away players, they used to throw flashbangs at the away players, homemade Molotov cocktails at the pitch, and who knows how they got it to the pitch through guò security.
Yang Fan didn't have much experience of the horror of the Turkish stadium, after all, he hadn't played away games in this country.
Moreover, when the 'draw' turned out that their opponent was Galatasalayi, Yang Fan still felt that this opponent was nothing.
In addition, in Yang Fan's eyes, he is still very interested in the ancient city of Istanbul, and he even plans to travel and walk around before the competition.
With a longing for the capital of the ancient Ottoman Empire, Yang Fan and his teammates boarded a flight that landed at Istanbul's international airport.
