Chapter 037: The Stain on Henry's Life
The Barcelona players were tossed and tossed for five hours, which was supposed to be an hour and 15 minutes.
In the 11th round of La Liga, Barcelona, which is located on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, needs to go to Bilbao, a city on the Atlantic coast in the northeast, to challenge Athletic Biba. Originally, the club planned to arrive by plane in the morning, take a brief lunch break, go to get used to the venue, and then kick directly in the evening, and return immediately after playing.
Three days later, it was a do-or-die match with Inter Milan in the Champions Cup, and that was the main event.
However, when the whole team rushed to the airport, they were told that Bilbao airport was temporarily closed due to the sixth Atlantic tropical storm this year, and flights to there would have to wait a little. The wait was two hours, and everyone was already tired by the time they got into the cabin.
The Pacific Ocean is called a typhoon, this thing is called a hurricane in the Atlantic, and a little weaker than a hurricane is called a tropical storm. In fact, the center of the tropical storm is quite far from Spain, basically aiming at the British Isles, and Bilbao Airport is out of caution, their tower system is a bit old, and they don't want to take risks.
So, with this caution, the whole Barcelona team circled in the sky for another hour, everyone was exhausted in the cramped cabin, and when they were finally allowed to land, Zhuo Yang walked out of the airport with a crooked nose and mouth, and the game was about to start in an hour.
Barcelona's request for an hour delay in kick-off was flatly rejected by the Football Association, Bilbao and Biba fans. As a result, as soon as the tired Barcelona walked into the San Mamés stadium, which is known as the 'home of hell', they began an emergency warm-up amid the boos.
.
Before we set off here, the dust had settled on the two international breaks, and all 32 World Cup passes in South Africa were all in full swing.
In the Asian and Oceania play-offs, Australia defeated their old neighbors 1-0 in a way that was actually an Oceania qualifier. New Zealand said that it was very helpless, and some enemies were destined, and it was not possible to win it if they wanted to hide.
In the South American and CONCACAF play-offs, Uruguay eliminated Costa Rica 1-0 and 1-1, and last season's top scorer in La Liga, Diego Forlan, did not miss out on South Africa.
The most exciting battle is still in Europe, where eight teams fight in pairs.
Cristiano Ronaldo is still not healed from his injury, but Portugal did not intimidate, and two killed Bosnia and Herzegovina 1-0. After the departure of Twentie Gomez, the twin centre-forwards Dzeko and Ibisevic of Madiburg did their best not to pull Portugal down, but it was Bosnia-Herzegovina's 19-year-old midfielder Pianizi who caught everyone's attention, and he is now the main midfield of Ligue 1 Lyon.
Russia was eliminated by Slovenia 2:1 and 0:1 by away goals, and Tsar Arshavin and Bacchus Zhirkov looked at their old teammate Handanovic with helplessness. Bacchus went to Chelsea for £19 million this season and continued to pair up with Ribery Scar.
The 25-year-old Samir Handanovic is now Slovenia's goalkeeper of choice, and his replacement is 30-year-old Don Smin Handanovic, who is the doorman of Serie B Mantua.
The 33-year-old captain Derras led Greece to a 1-0 defeat at Ukraine, and Shevchenko, who is the same age as the rock, had nothing in front of him. Although Dellas has gradually faded out of the main squad of Madiburg this season, he is still the captain of Madipou and is still young.
He was a substitute in both games, and he saw his team lose their ticket to South Africa. Zhuo Yang comforted him and said, "It's all your fault for that stupid coach, why didn't he let you play as a starter!" ”
The Ukrainian coach is not stupid, Mikhalichenko was still very good when he played football back then.
The most controversial match came in the contest between France and Ireland. In the first leg at Dublin's Croke Stadium, France won 1-0 against Ireland thanks to Nicolas Anelka's 72nd-minute goal.
Four days later, the teams moved to the Stade de France in Paris, where Robbie Keane's 23rd-minute first-half goal levelled the teams on aggregate and the away goal was the same, and the score remained unchanged until the end of the 90th minute. In the 88th minute, French coach Domenech replaced Gourcuff with Scar Ribery, who had returned from injury.
Scar was beaten hard by Manchester United's Brazilian midfielder Anderson in the Premier League in February and spent eight months recuperating before starting recovery training again, and has now been deployed by Carlo Ancelotti to come on as a substitute twice, but his feeling and form are clearly not in place, which is normal.
Scar is awesome, he was injured in the 28th round last season, but finished the season with Gerrard in the joint third scorer with 16 league goals, ahead of Anelka 19 and Cristiano Ronaldo 18. So even though he wasn't fully recovered, Domenech couldn't wait to recruit him into the account. Scar's injury is also one of the important reasons why the French team stumbled in the qualifiers.
Anderson is worse than Scar, and the latest news says that he has been reimbursed in full this year, and will have to wait until next year after the winter break at the earliest.
Scar didn't make much of a splash when he came on, but he created a chance for France in the 117th minute of extra time with a sharp high-speed push down the middle.
Scar shook off his Chelsea team-mate Duff and forced O'Shea to take him to the canvas as France won a free-kick. Scar took the penalty himself, he hoisted the ball high to the back post against Henry, who stopped the ball with his left foot, and then fell to the ground and tackled it with his right foot. Because it was at the back post, Gara's header in front of goal picked up an empty goal.
However, when Henry stopped the ball with his left foot, it stopped in his hand.
Although Henry is a sincere man, he is also an old man who has been in the football world for more than ten years, and he immediately showed a happy and confident look, deeply confused the referee, and he insisted on the goal in spite of the strong protest of the Irish.
Five minutes later, the game ended with France taking out Ireland 2-1. After the game, the media blew up, Henry's handball was invisible in slow motion, and the old Henry carried the black pot for France.
Speaking to the media after the game, Henry frankly admitted that it was a handball, but when the media asked him why he didn't take the initiative to explain it to the referee, Henry avoided answering. To be honest, such a request, in such a situation, is too harsh on Henry.
The French got cheap and obedient, but they didn't answer positively, and no one helped Henry face the pressure of the media, only Scar stood up and said loudly: Why do you say so much nonsense? If you are not convinced, you will play again!
Zhuo Yang, who was far away in Barcelona, directly gave his brother a thumbs up: Cai! There are kinds of scars!
Ireland also asked for a replay, but FIFA and UEFA made it difficult. How to replay? From the 117th minute, or from the 91st? Or start from scratch?
And this kind of precedent cannot be set, otherwise it will be difficult for the referee to work in the future, but if there is a little mistake, it will be shouted for a rematch.
After Henry returned to Barcelona, he also expressed his willingness to replay, but no one responded, so the ball became the biggest stain on Henry's life.
It is said that FIFA later sealed the mouth of the Irish Football Association with 5 million euros, after all, whether in terms of football value or commercial value, France is much more important than Ireland, and the importance is several more than 5 million.
The Six Musketeers finally gathered in the World Cup for the first time, and when the brothers were discussing in the group who might reach the top next year, the five rotten people finally said in unison: China!
Zhuo Yang said: Don't beg for cheapness in your mouth, in case any of you run into me next summer, turn around and let me press it down, where will you put your face when you see it?
