Chapter 224: Preparation

Dick is back.

After a three-match ban, Dick is back in the Champions Cup, this time against Galatasaray, the symbol of Turkish football, which is known for its brutality and brutality!

Atletico have seven points and Galatasaray five, and for Galatasaray, if they want to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup for two consecutive years, or even go one step further in the Champions Cup, they will have to beat Atletico to be able to do so - a draw will not work, and a draw will not give them any chance of reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup!

For Galatasaray, this match is undoubtedly a do-or-die battle! And Dick's words after the second round also made Galatasaray quite angry!

Although Dick used sophistry to prevaricate the past, anyone with a little intelligence knows that what Dick said about "murderous football game" is to satirize the barbaric style of Turkish football!

Such a football nouveau riche who has only achieved some results in the last year or two dares to use such a disdainful tone to evaluate the great Turkish football! This is absolutely unbearable!

It is said that many Galatasaray fans have begun to take action, ready to give Atletico Madrid and Dick a good look in the next game, on the one hand, to give themselves a bad breath, and on the other hand, to lay a solid foundation for Galatasaray's promotion!

Just as Galatasaray fans began to take action, Atletico Madrid sent out a letter to fans, warning them that it was better not to go to Turkey to watch the game at this time.

"Atletico fans, I know what you're worried about and I know you're not afraid of any difficulties. However, some sacrifices are unnecessary, and some dangers can be avoided. Atletico will win away from home, even if the stands are full of Turks, even if you can't hear your singing and you can't see the Atletico flag and jersey waving in the stands. Let's watch in front of the TV and watch how our Warriors made Savage Football subservient on the road! Believe me, even if we can't fight together on the same court, our hearts will always be together. ”

This sensational article by Dick did not stop the enthusiasm of Atletico Madrid fans, but despite the dissuasion of the Atletico club, not a single Atletico Madrid fan went to Istanbul to watch the game!

When UEFA issued a warning to Atletico, Atletico's response was: "We just don't want the fans to have an accident. ”

This time, Old Hill was loved by many people, because he converted the electronic display of the Calderón stadium into a screen that can receive antennas, and then invited fans with Atletico tickets to watch it for free so that they would not feel lonely - on that day, Atletico Madrid fans would go to the Calderón stadium to watch the game happily as if there was a game at home as usual.

UEFA is very distressed about this, because they can't force Atletico Madrid to let their fans go to the away game, but if there is not a single Atletico fan in Galatasaray's home stadium, maybe Galatasaray fans will be happy, but both UEFA and the Turkish Football Federation will feel quite faceless.

Quite simply, if a club's home stadium makes away fans reluctant to come, how much impact will this have on the image of the entire country and city? The fans don't care about that, but the Turkish side does.

In the past, they connived at the fans to provoke the away team's fans, and connived at the fans to intimidate the away team with the atmosphere, so that the Ali Samyan Stadium became the world-famous hellish stadium, but now Atletico Madrid announced with such fanfare that they will not let a fan go to the away stadium, this direct tearing of the face makes the whole of Turkey feel shameless, you must know that Istanbul is also a tourist city, if you give the outside world such an image, their economy will also be greatly affected.

However, they can't do anything with Atletico Madrid and Dick, Dick didn't say you don't go to Turkey, it's all a bunch of bastards, and Atletico Madrid Club only advised fans not to go to the away game, and they didn't force fans not to go, but Atletico Madrid fans don't want to go, so who can force them?

However, for UEFA, there have been a number of things that have often happened at the home stadium in Turkey in recent years, the most important thing is that the death of two Leeds United fans on the streets of Istanbul two years ago is already a big scandal - no matter what the circumstances, the death of someone is a big thing!

Now Dick and Atletico Madrid are making such a fuss, others can't pay attention to it, if a club that can participate in European football competitions, the opponent is directly unwilling to go to the away game, then what is the face of European competitions? How can the seriousness of the competition be guaranteed?

To be honest, other clubs are not stupid, such as this group stage, Roma and Liverpool suffered a lot of losses away from home, and now Dick and Atletico Madrid take the lead, as long as other clubs meet Galatasaray in the future, there is a reason not to let the fans go away, although Galatasaray's rough style of play and Turkish fans can intimidate opponents for a while, but on the whole, they will definitely receive a lot of penalties - aren't you arrogant and unreasonable, be careful that others don't take you to play!

So when the whole Atletico Madrid team flew to Istanbul with the hopes of Atletico Madrid fans, UEFA also began to urgently start negotiations with the Turkish Football Association and Galatasaray.

What exactly was negotiated, others naturally don't know, but the referee of UEFA's match arrangement is the most famous bald referee Collina.

In a way, UEFA's sending Corina to officiate this game is also sending a message to the Turkish side - you can say that the behavior of the fans cannot be stopped, but on the field, the players deliberately use big actions to force the referee to make a more lenient decision, which is no longer allowed - you must know that some of Galatasaray's previous rough actions are very clever use of the referee's psychology, according to strict rules, some of their actions will receive yellow cards, but at this frequency, I'm afraid that they will soon have less than seven people on the field, and in order to avoid this embarrassing situation, the referee has to relax some scales, and they will naturally be able to take advantage of some advantages.

Now send out Corina, a notoriously strict referee who doesn't give anyone a little face! If Galatasaray's players were to try it again, Corina wouldn't mind proving his iron fist by sending off one or two shortly after the game started!

Dick laughed when he knew that the referee of the game was Collina.

Sometimes in this world, it's really a crying child who has milk to eat - Dick doesn't mind a fair confrontation with his opponent in a fair environment, but if the other party wants to create a situation in their favor, then Dick will try to create a fairer situation!

Upon arrival in Istanbul, Atletico Madrid were not welcomed, and when they boarded the bus to prepare for their hotel, Galatasaray fans on the street raised their middle fingers at the bus and began to shout insults when they saw the Atletico logo on the bus......

Atletico suffered abuse all the way over, and the bus driver seemed to be deliberate, driving wherever there were many people, and driving very slowly......

In this case, the Atletico players can be said to have been invective all the way, Dick looked out the window at the fans with distorted faces, and then shook his head.

"Close the curtains." Dick ordered the Atletico players to close the curtains and not look out the window.

However, it was only quiet for a few minutes, and many windows were rushed up, constantly patting the windows with their hands, and at the same time there were insults.

"Hell, are you driving? Slower than walking! Dick scolded the driver in annoyance, and the driver laughed heavily, and then sped up.

"It's a fucking bitch, no scolding, no acceleration, the same as your club and country."

Dick smiled at the driver with the most simple smile and said a word in Chinese, and the driver blinked his eyes a little confused, seeing Dick smiling so sincerely, he also grinned at Dick, and then accelerated towards the hotel where he was staying.

"Settle into the room first, and then go to the conference room for a meeting! I have very important equipment to give you. Dick said mysteriously to the players in the lobby.

The players looked at each other and walked to their rooms in confusion, and after ten minutes, all the Atletico players arrived in the hotel conference room.

Dick sat in the middle of the long round table with a few assistant coaches, and after seeing that all the players had arrived, Dick smiled, then took out a large bag from under the table and placed it directly on the table.

"It's something that doesn't make you play better on the field, but it gives you a better rest before the game."

After saying this, Dick opened the bag, and then poured all the contents of the bag directly onto the conference table!

That's thirty headphones...... The large, large one, worn on the head, encloses the entire ear and the area around the ear.

"Silent headphones can keep you undisturbed while sleeping, and it may be a little uncomfortable to wear, but it's better than waking you up while sleeping...... It's not once or twice that these guys have done this kind of thing, constantly interfering with their opponents before the game, giving them rest and not affecting their form. I know you're all good players, so don't let them distract you. ”

It dawned on the players that such an approach was necessary, considering that in the semi-final of the UEFA Cup two years ago, not only did two Leeds fans stain the streets of Istanbul with blood, but before the game began, there was always a group of unknown people who were making an all-night noise outside the hotel where Leeds was staying, causing the Leeds players to suffer a poor rest and eventually lose away from home......

The players began to look for the right headphones for themselves, and Dick bought them all with labels and sizes this time, and the players grabbed the headphones in a mess and began to try them on, giggling like a group of children.

Marriner looked at Dick, although it was just a small trick, but it made the players' morale all mobilized, and they no longer worried about what tricks the opponent played, such a relaxed mood will affect the state of the players on the field - relaxed state can make the players perform better.

"In the next game, we're going to put in a good show...... We won't have any disadvantage in this game, even if the fans shout hoarse in the stands, it won't affect us! Behave well and kick those guys so much that they don't even know his mother! ”
