Chapter 92: We Are Champions 1

"It was a clear foul, it was a foul that could be drawn, but the referee didn't do anything, which made the result unfair!"

Lum coach Barrett, who was dissatisfied with the result of the game, put all the blame on the referee in an interview with reporters after the game and questioned the fairness of the game.

His words were immediately reprinted and commented on by major Belgian media.

"Foul! That's right, I very much support Barrett's point that it was a clear foul and Di Gregorio deserved a yellow card. ”

Jason, a reporter for the Antwerp Sports Express, backed up Barrett in his column.

"But the referee didn't do anything. He was not far from the penalty area, and he saw what was happening there, but he didn't say anything about it, it wasn't a fair thing to do. He buried the dreams of a city! He should be stopped from blowing the game! I am very happy to see the staff of the Football Association seriously investigate this matter, and there may be unexpected gains. ”

"The players of Real Antwerp should be brave enough to stand up and admit their mistakes! This is a professional footballer with a minimum work ethic! ”

Although Jason's column did not say anything explicitly, it was very pointed, questioning the principle of fairness and impartiality of the game, and questioning the professional ethics of the referee.

However, when his report appeared, it received only an enthusiastic response from the Lomb people.

The response in other parts of Belgium has not been significant.

In fact, anyone who watched this game, or watched the video of this game, knows that there was no problem with Di Gregorio's tackle before the end, and there was no problem with the referee's decision.

After a day of silence in the face of Jason's malicious slander, Real Antwerp finally responded: "It was a good game. We've got the ultimate victory! This victory is the result of the hard work of the whole club! ”

After the club's statement, the team's head coach Van Ake and the players also spoke to the media after the resumption training on the afternoon of April 17.

"There were no problems with the process and the result of the game, we got a great victory! It's the result of the hard work of the players and we deserved a win like this! As for the foul you said, I'm sorry. There were no fouls before the end of the game! ”

After all the players were interviewed, Yu Liang also accepted an interview with the media.

"I'm very happy to score the crucial goal and beat the opponent! I don't think there was anything wrong with this goal, first of all Di Gregorio didn't foul him, his tackle was very clean! If anyone should stand up and admit their mistake in this match, it should be Lunm's Valigora, who faked a fall in the match, which is a very abominable act! ”

"There is an even more hateful behavior that is to tell nonsense with your eyes open, knowing that this is not the way things will turn out. If Jason could switch careers to become an entertainment journalist. I think his achievements will be even higher! ”

At the end of the interview, Yu Liang also disgusted Jason for a while, and then left the training ground satisfied.

A grandiose farce, with the interview of the Antwerp general, became the talk of people after dinner.

……

After the match against RUM, although Antwerp moved to the top of the overall table with one win, it does not mean that they have no worries about winning the championship.

The players are still preparing for the game in earnest on the training ground.

On April 23rd, they welcomed Shexton Souda at home. The team with the lowest total points in the league.

This team is on the verge of bankruptcy this season due to financial problems. During the winter break, he requested to withdraw from the league, but after receiving new funding, he withdrew from the league. However, this injection not only did not bring them a new atmosphere, but dragged them into the whirlpool of match-fixing, and their qualification could be cancelled by the Football Association at any time.

It's just that the Football Association is currently investigating and collecting evidence, and they still have to participate in the league as usual.

But because of the instability within the team. The players were not motivated. Therefore, after the start of the third stage of the league, Shexton Suda was called the point boy.

Although the game was described by the media as a game to give Antwerp three points, the cautious Van Ake fielded most of his main players in the game and stressed before the game that he should take the game seriously.

Serious Antwerp, after the start of the game. It took less than five minutes to score.

Shextonsuda's negative attitude towards the game could not arouse the morale of the Antwerp players.

Even so, in the thirtieth minute of the game, they managed to gain a three-goal advantage. Yu Liang, who started the game, even scored a hat trick.

After seeing what it means to give away points, Van Ake directly replaced him after Yu Liang delivered his third assist.

At halftime, the other two substitutions were directly used up.

The second half was uneventful, and Antwerp did not go all out against a negative Shexton Souda. Amid the cheers of the fans, the two sides finished the second half in great harmony, 3-0 Antwerp won all three points at home.

However, because Shexton Suda reacted negatively to the game, the game went very smoothly.

The two halves combined, and the referee only gave one minute of stoppage time.

So when Antwerp finished the game, the other two games were not over yet.

In order to wait for the results of the other two matches, the fans did not leave the stadium.

Seeing this scene, the players naturally stayed in the field and waited for the news.

Five minutes after the end of their game, the other two games were over.

The Mons team, who made mistakes in the last game and missed the chance to reach the top, did not make mistakes in this game.

Playing away from home, they beat Ham 2-0 thanks to a goal from Jeremier in the second half.

In the other match against Kortrijk, the Rums were stubbornly resisted.

After the last game, Lunm coach Barrett questioned the impartiality of the referee, and they were faced with the harshest referee in this game.

A total of 10 yellow cards and three red cards were shown by the referee throughout the match.

In the last ten minutes of the second half, Kortrijk played at home with nine men, but the Rums team who played with one more man still failed to win.

0-3, they suffered a heavy defeat on the road.

Antwerp, who have taken all three points in this way, continue to lead the overall standings.

When the results of the match between Mons and Lunm were announced, the stadium erupted in cheers.

Excited fans sang the team song in the stands, reluctant to leave for a long time. (To be continued.) )
