Chapter 472: Say Goodbye Without Saying Goodbye
After the game, Yuric's goal was repeatedly broadcast on social media, and it was indeed an offside goal, but it was not as exaggerated as Li Guo said, and it was an offside position, which was really not easy to judge under the circumstances at the time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Iranian Football Federation appealed to the AFC for a replay, which soon made it clear that it was impossible unless it was proven that the misjudgment was intentional.
Then the Iranians left without saying goodbye and boarded a flight home in the early hours of the second day after the race, because Iran's domestic aviation was very backward, and the flight would land in Qatar first, and then there would be a flight back home.
As soon as he stepped off the plane in Doha, Queiroz was like a dam that opened the floodgates, pouring out all the dissatisfaction in his heart.
'I repeat, it wasn't a miscalculation, it was deliberate, and the referee was biased in favour of Australia.
"Carlos, you say that, aren't you afraid of being punished by the AFC?"
"I know that as a coach, I shouldn't be judging the referees, but this time it was different, we were directly deprived of the qualification, which is shameful."
"Will you stay? Will the Iranian Football Federation continue to appeal? ”
"I don't know, I can only say that I am disappointed, I hope the Chinese team will not be hacked again."
Queiroz's words caused a huge wave, and he almost said that the AFC is black and black.
The consequences of a professional coach saying such a thing can be imagined, and Queiroz immediately received a six-match ban.
Queiroz was punished, but public opinion could not be silenced, and many people were also questioning the fairness of the AFC, and every misjudgment caused many chain reactions, such as the goal-line injustice case of Frank Lampard at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, which later promoted the use of goal-line technology.
This time is the same, after the game, public opinion is discussing whether it is possible to introduce video replay, just like the NBA, if there is such a technology, then the Iranian team will not be wronged.
Li Guo was the first to jump out in agreement, "I sympathize with Iran, in fact, the team participating in the final should be them, I think this is unfair." ”
"If the referee has to watch the footage every time it's offside, the football game will be 180 minutes, the game will be endless, and I want to say that misjudgments will always exist, and we in Australia have suffered." ”
Such a thing happened in such an important match as the semi-finals, and the AFC's face was gloomy, and it became a joke on other continents, especially Queiroz's words.
So the AFC immediately held a meeting to conduct surprise training for the referees of the final, and the referee was Yuichi Nishimura, who blew the whistle for the opening match of the World Cup.
There are two most famous referees in Asia now, one is Ilmatov, and the other is Yuichi Nishimura, both of whom have blown the opening match of the World Cup, Ilmatov is the referee of the opening match of the World Cup in South Africa, and Yuichi Nishimura is the referee of the World Cup in Brazil.
Because Ilmatov has already blown the knockout round before, so this time it is the turn of Yuichi Nishimura, and everyone has nothing to say about such an arrangement, after all, the AFC has moved out of the World Cup-level referee.
Li Guo welcomed the arrangement, as did Postecoglou.
*****
The final was four days later, the first stop of the Chinese team in Australia was in Sydney, the players also went to the Sydney Opera House to take a selfie, and now in the past 20 days, the Chinese team is back here.
In order to welcome, the Sydney Opera House deliberately draped the five-star red flag at night, which is illuminated and only the finalists can enjoy special treatment.
Chinese fans have also come to Sydney one after another, and there are more Chinese faces on the streets, and everything is brewing for the final.
After coming to Sydney, the Chinese team began to train in closed straits, not receiving any media, and the Chinese media were also driven away.
The outside world estimates that Li Guo is going to come up with new tactics again, and Australia thinks that Li Guo is playing tricks, and the Chinese team has only a few people, what new tricks can they play.
On the Australian side, it's the same, open for 15 minutes for the media to visit, Postecoglou will arrange the inconsequential jogging at the front for the media to shoot, and when the time is up, the media have left, and then Australia will start tactical training.
In fact, after the semi-finals, the whole Australian team was permeated with this bad mood, that is, they felt that they could not win.
How much the players hope to win a game in front of their hometown fathers and then enter the final, no one expected that in the end, they would stumble into the final with the help of the referee.
Of course, Bo Shuai saw it, and he wanted to talk to the players.
"What are you doing with a sad face? Do you feel like you owe someone something? ”
"Nope!" Answers in unison.
"Really? It's all written on the face. ”
Everyone was ashamed.
"I ask you, who won the 1966 World Cup?"
"England."
"That's right, so who knows what the game will be like?"
Everyone was stunned, no one knew.
Bo Shuai continued: "Yes, no one knows, let's say 50 years from now, someone asks, who will win the 2015 Asian Cup? ”
'I think someone will answer Australia and no one will remember a controversial goal in the semi-final.
"By the same token, if someone answers that the winner is China, then no one remembers a controversy in the semi-finals."
"Does anyone in world football care about semi-finals? No! ”
The players were stunned, the manager's logic was too strong, but there was nothing to refute, because it was right, people are forgetful, they only know the winner in the end.
"Some people may think that the Asian Cup needs to play six games, but in my opinion, it is very wrong, there is only one game in the Asian Cup, and that is the final, and it doesn't matter if you are in a few days. ”
Postecoglou's words completely opened the players' hearts, and everyone understood that as long as we win the final, we are the champions, looking down on everyone, it doesn't matter what the other teams say.
Bo Shuai took out his mobile phone, "Look, this guy, Li Guo, how cheap he laughs, if we beat the Chinese team, he will cry." ”
Bo Shuai has photoshopped a photo of Li Guo crying, everyone looked at it, hahaha laughed, although a little Ah Q spirit, but very relieved, the whole Australian team wants to see Li Guo crying, it must be very cool.
"We came to the AFC to conquer Asian football, in fact, Colwill's generation should have won the Asian Cup, but we were unlucky, we got our own Asian Cup, you know?"
"Yes, boss." Everyone looked at Boshuai as if they were about to burst into flames, as if the players had been beaten by Postecoglou. (To be continued.) )
