Chapter 875: The Bernabeu Glasses Door (Part 2)
In the camera, Fang Jue was expressionless and Sunderland manager Martin. O'Neill shakes hands.
O'Neill patted Fang Jue on the shoulder and seemed to say something comforting. "1-1, Aston Villa were held to a draw at home by Sunderland, and in fact, if it weren't for Sunderland's lack of ability to take chances, Aston Villa could have lost at home today. ”
After a pause, he continued, "The weather in England is getting warmer and Aston Villa, who are entering the final stretch of the season, have suffered an injury winter. ”
Sendros and Silen. Clarke is still recovering from injury, Papastathopoulos is injured again, and Aston Villa's centre-back partners today are Stroman at cameo centre-back and youngster Nathan Baker.
In addition, there are Mane, who has just been seriously injured, Shinji Kagawa, who has the flu, Vardy, who has a muscle strain, and Danny Ros, who has just recurred from an old injury and cannot be guaranteed to be in the game.
Aston Villa is a camp full of wounded soldiers.
In this 35th round of the English Premier League, after Aston Villa was drawn 1-1 by Sunderland at home, even the media did not use the word 'upset' to describe it:
Aston Villa's current injury situation, which is barely a big upset if they lose to Sunderland, and a 1-1 draw has not surprised people too much.
With Sunderland holding out to a draw, a win for the Reds in the later match between Manchester United and Everton would see the Reds close the gap on Aston Villa to four points.
There are three rounds left in the league, and counting the round of replay between Aston Villa and Manchester United, this is four rounds, and the four-point difference is not safe for Aston Villa.
However, a few hours later, Fang Jue and Aston Villa received good news up and down that United did not take advantage of this 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity to chase the point, as they were held to a 4-4 draw at home by Everton.
"Long live Everton!"
"Well done, Moyes!"
Similar cheers can be heard within the Aston Villa squad and everywhere in Birmingham City.
David Moyes' Everton have really done Aston Villa a big favor this time.
Manchester United are still six points behind Aston Villa after being held to a draw by Everton, and with six points from four games remaining, Aston Villa's success rate in defending their league title has increased significantly.
……
A week later.
Fans gathered at a local pub in Birmingham to await the live broadcast of the 36th round of the league between Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion.
At this time, the TV was showing the guests' predictions and analysis of the Premier League round, and the famous BBC5 sports anchor Hendry was sitting in a precarious position.
"Now insert one of our latest messages......"
The quiet of the noisy bar, the sudden 'appearance' of Hendry, is generally the most timely blockbuster news.
The screen turns to an image of the office building of the UEFA headquarters, and the camera changes again to a conference hall.
"UEFA has just announced the results of its investigation into the 'Spectacle Gate at the Bernabeu', with Aston Villa manager Fang Jue being banned for three matches and a hefty fine of €50,000, while Aston Villa captain Clement has been banned for four matches and fined €30,000."
As the picture transitions, the camera returns to the Bernabéu stadium that the audience is familiar with, the familiar picture, the picture is Fang Jue's angry roar, which looks like he wants to eat Stark, the referee on duty.
It was Aston Villa's visit to the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Aston Villa, who won 2-1 at home in the first leg, had the initiative, but Real Madrid, who had lost just one goal and scored away goals, had a good chance of progressing.
The home team, Real Madrid, got off to a very good start and was perfect.
Just six minutes into the game, Aston Villa's young centre-back Nathan Baker brought down Cristiano Ronaldo in a reckless penalty area, and referee Stark awarded a penalty.
There was no problem with the penalty and Real Madrid took a 1-0 lead at home.
Then, just eight minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo fired low into the net to make it 2-0 to Aston Villa.
Just as the Bernabeu was in the midst of jubilation, a ten-minute old Aston Villa pulled a goal back.
Suarez was brought to the ground by Pepe in the box and referee Stark blew for a penalty.
James Milner converted the penalty and Aston Villa made it 1-2 to Real Madrid, making it 3-3 on aggregate, and the same number of away goals were scored.
In the ensuing game, Aston Villa defended with all their might, and it was as if they were on the verge of sending the game to extra-time.
Real Madrid scored, a late attack from Real Madrid, when Di Maria's cross from the wing was headed home by Sergio Ramos.
Aston Villa, for their part, thought that Ramos was offside when Di Maria passed the ball.
However, referee Stark decided that there was no problem with the goal and that the goal was valid.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Aston Villa 3-1 with this suspected offside goal, eliminated Aston Villa 4-3 on aggregate, and advanced to the Champions League final at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Fang Jue was almost out of anger, he protested angrily, and angrily sprayed Stark, the referee on duty.
The angry Aston Villa manager put his hands in front of his eyes, pretended to be glasses, and then made a gesture to put them on the face of referee Stark, sarcastically taunting the opponent for not wearing glasses and blowing the game.
Then Fang Jue was sent to the stands by Stark, of course, the game is over, and this penalty for the stands is just a formality, and then it needs to be recorded.
Ramos' stunning goal has caused heated discussions among the media and fans around the world.
Slow motion shows that at the moment of Di Maria's pass, Ramos was indeed slightly offside, although the offside was not too obvious, but it was indeed offside a few centimeters, offside is offside, this is a fact.
The media in England and China, as well as many neutral media around the world, are crying out for Aston Villa, believing that a misjudgment by the referee decided Aston Villa's fate.
Of course, there are also voices in favor of Real Madrid who say that Aston Villa is full of injuries, and the defense is patchwork, even if they play extra time, they will concede goals, and even concede more goals in 30 minutes of extra time and lose even more, so this misjudgment is equivalent to saving Aston Villa's face......
And Fang Jue's glasses gesture to referee Stark also caused an uproar.
Even the media in England believed that Fang Jue's move would cause him big trouble.
Because Fang Jue has a gesture of putting glasses on the referee, this is a bit 'excessive'.
However, UEFA finally announced that the other party was banned for three games, which disappointed many people who were waiting to see Fang Jue's bad luck.
As for Clement, the captain of Aston Villa roared at the referee and seemed to have insulting words, and the punishment of a four-game ban can be understood as a relatively light punishment or a normal punishment, but in the end, there is no heavy punishment.
This also made some media hotly discussed, it seems that Platini still takes better care of Fang Jue and Aston Villa, this is still his godson.
However, Aston Villa was out of the game because of a misjudgment, which seems to be suspected of being 'abandoned' again, in short, a bit of a mess.
There are even media reports that it is rumored that Platini personally called Fang Jue to apologize for the misjudgment, which is why Fang Jue did not continue to fire at UEFA and referee enforcement issues.
……
"You've been recruited." Rebeto commented, "Needless to say, next season's Champions League, Villa will definitely be compensated. ”
"Recruit an ass! Vera hasn't rebelled again! Fang Jue said angrily, as for the meaning of the second half of what Reberto said, he even denied it.
Don't talk nonsense about things that don't have a shadow.
However, there is one thing Fang Jue admits that with Platini's call, at least he doesn't have to worry about the team being deliberately targeted.
It's just that I can't say this, according to Platini, what happened at the Bernabeu this time was purely a technical error, a miscalculation caused by a blocked line of sight, which ......
