174 Riots (Part II)
"What we saw. Lazio fans started throwing firecrackers, which was a bit too much. They were protesting against the offside decision. However, it is clear from the replay that Simeone. Inzaghi was indeed a bit offside. The goal was not a referee's mistake. On the contrary, the referee twice awarded the Lazio player offside, which was very accurate. ”
"But the Lazio fans weren't satisfied. They had already attacked the referee several times, and this time they threw firecrackers and incendiary sticks. ”
All found out.
It's impossible not to find out. It's just too obvious. When the Lazio fans threw firecrackers, the side of the Graz Storm goal was littered with all kinds of firecrackers. Smoke began to slowly fill the field.
All kinds of debris are also constantly thrown into the field.
The goalkeeper and defenders of the Graz Storm had already fled the scene of the incident, otherwise they would have been hit by firecrackers thrown by the fans. They were all rare to look at these firecrackers and incendiary sticks.
Jack was stunned for a moment.
It was the first time that Jack had been in charge of the game for so many years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. In fact, when enforcing the law in the Premier League, it is not that there is no phenomenon of throwing debris. But this is rare in the Premier League.
And even if you throw clutter, it's a very ordinary thing. Sometimes, during the game, fans will be so excited that they will throw coins, and some people will even throw lighters and mobile phones. But this is rare in the Premier League. Because once that fan is locked, it will be very difficult for him to watch the game live in the future.
So in the Premier League, this kind of thing just needs one or two people to come over and simply clean it up. When have I ever seen fans throw incendiary sticks and firecrackers?
It's just a few tens of seconds. The goal on this side of the Graz storm is already out of sight. One can imagine how many firecrackers and incendiary sticks were thrown by the fans in that moment.
But Jack soon woke up.
Jack knew he couldn't afford to mess around at this point. When he knew about Serie A before, Jack had long understood that Serie A fans had this habit. It's just that I didn't expect them to dare to use it in the League Cup.
Jack turned his head to look at the Lazio players. Then he turned his gaze to Mancini on the sidelines.
Most of the players who came on today were substitutes. Only Cotto is banned because of the league. Unable to play against Juventus, so he started this game. Most of the other players are rotation players.
They don't add up to as much weight as Mancini on the sidelines.
Roberto Mancini is a legend of Italian football. He had his best moments at Sampdoria and came to Lazio at the end of his career. But even Mancini had a very good result at Lazio. Become one of the favorite stars of Lazio fans.
When Roberto Mancini was ready to take over Lazio, the Lazio fans cheered.
In this situation, Jack can only find Mancini.
'Coach Mancini, you have to convince these fans. Tell them to stop throwing the clutter immediately. ”
Jack said as he looked at his watch. The Lazio fans threw too many incendiary sticks and firecrackers, and the smoke began to disperse in all directions. The place where Jack is located is near the midline. But visibility became very low. It's already very difficult to read a watch.
The figures of the players on the field are becoming more and more blurred, as long as they are more than a few meters, they are not visible at all.
Not to mention football.
Jack frowned and said to Mancini, "Coach Mancini, I'm going to suspend the game from now on." Ten minutes, I'll only give you Lazio ten minutes. You've got to get the fans to finish the action in 10 minutes. If the fans don't stop doing this after 10 minutes, I'll have to stop the game. ”
Jack can only choose to be tough at this time.
Blow-and-stop game?
It's not just talk. It's not easy to blow a stoppage, because under normal circumstances. If it weren't for irresistible natural causes, the referee would rarely stop the game.
If a game is stopped because of a problem with the stadium, especially with the team, the players, or the fans, all the responsibility must be borne by the club, where the team, the players, and the fans are located.
It's like it is now.
Once Jack thinks it is impossible to continue the game. If the game is stopped, then the biggest possibility is that UEFA will award a penalty for Lazio's 3-0 defeat at home to the Graz Storm in this game. Because it's caused by Lazio fans. So all the consequences must be held accountable by Lazio FC.
But it is precisely because of this severity that the referee cannot casually blow a stop.
In European football, it is rare for such a game to be stopped. Because once this happens. Then such a match will become the most watched thing in the whole of European football.
Even the most decisive referee chose to stop the game. It's all something to think about.
So of course Jack wouldn't choose to do so.
Because it's a double-edged sword. Some people may think that Jack is decisive, but it is also possible to think that Jack is making a big fuss. So Jack didn't think about blowing the stoppage. Jack wanted to put pressure on Lazio to get their fans right.
"I know."
Mancini was also in a hurry. Although there were some problems after the start of this game. But Lazio's lead is still huge. Because even if Graz Storm defeats Lazio 2-0, according to the away goal advantage, it will be Lazio who will eventually advance.
It wasn't a big deal.
But like this, it is the team that suffers in the end.
Mancini immediately took the players to the scene of the incident. The same goes for the commentators at the stadium. He kept telling Lazio fans to calm down and not to continue like this.
Jack also came to the place where the course was managed and picked up Mike. Speaking fluently in Italian, he said to the Lazio fans: "Attention Lazio fans, please pay attention. I'm the referee of the game, Jack. Lee, there will be a 10-minute pause in the game. After 10 minutes, the game will be resumed, at which point if anyone continues to throw debris into the stadium, and the game will be completely stopped. ”
"Attention. Note. ”
After Jack finished speaking, the on-site narrator kept repeating what Jack had said.
Jack's admonition. Coupled with the persuasion of Mancini and Lazio players, the situation finally calmed down. The staff of the Stadio Olimpico in Rome also rushed in to deal with the things that remained on the field.
Jack was on the field all the time.
Because Jack has to be on the field. Although it is said that the kick-off will be restarted after 10 minutes. But Jack also has to depend on the visibility on the field. If the smoke doesn't clear within 10 minutes, then Jack will have to postpone kick-off.
However, it seems that the staff at the Italian stadium are very experienced. Within a short time, the smoke on the pitch slowly cleared.
After about thirteen minutes or so, Jack noticed that he could see the ball very clearly. So get ready for a restart.
"Webb, put the ball in the spot where Inzaghi was offside. Webb, he's going to kick off...... Webb, Webb looks like he's been hit by something. The Lazio fans threw something again, and it looked like a burning stick. ”
Lazio fanatics, or football hooligans among Lazio fanatics. Anyway, Jack had just blown the whistle to call for the game to restart, and someone threw things at the pitch again.
Jack hurriedly ran over to take a look.
Saw Jack coming. Lazio fans were on fire again. Throwing things at the pitch non-stop, not just throwing things, Jack also found them burning seats there.
Jack looked at the debris falling like rain in front of him, and his heart was furious.
These Lazio fans really think of themselves as sick cats. Originally, Jack didn't want to go too far, but the attitude of Lazio fans made Jack unbearable. Jack considers himself a fair referee and doesn't give a penalty based on his personal preference.
But Jack never considered himself a bad guy.
When someone slaps you, Jack will never stick out the other side for someone to beat. And Jack is not a generous person, others treat themselves badly. Jack will take it to heart.
Today the Lazio fans completely Jack.
"Doodoo-"
Since the Lazio fans are unkind, let us blame Jack for being unjust.
Jack was decisive and blew the whistle to end the game. The Lazio players were stunned, and the Graz Storm players didn't react at first. The first to react was Mancini on the sidelines.
The referee blows for a stoppage, which is a big deal. In the history of the Champions League, the UEFA Cup. It took years to come across one of these things. Even if the top five European leagues are combined, it is difficult for this to happen in a year.
It is precisely because of the rarity that the referee once the game is stopped. It is necessary to write a detailed match report to UEFA. UEFA then judges the match based on the match report written by the referee.
If it is because of irresistible factors to end the game. Like heavy rain, heavy snow, and so on. At such times, after blowing the stoppage. Will find another day to make up for the rest of the game.
Another is that when there are too many red cards in the game, and when there are not enough players, the game will be stopped. There's nothing to say about this kind of thing, and the team side with insufficient numbers can only accept a 0-3 result.
That's all there is to it. Now this situation, to put it mildly, can also be justified as an irresistible factor, and then find a day to make up for the remaining game time. But it can also be considered that the fault is on Lazio's side, and Lazio is judged to lose 0-3.
It all depends on one thing.
That's the referee's post-match report. If Jack says that he is light and lets Lazio go, then Lazio has a chance to play again. Play the rest of the half.
If Jack is serious, don't say that Lazio will be judged to lose at that time, and punish Lazio well.
So Mancini was in a hurry. immediately entered the court, grabbed Jack and said, "Jack. Referee Li, you give me a chance. I used to deal with this. Five minutes, no, only three minutes. Three minutes, and I promise never to happen again. ”
0-3, if it is really decided that the loss is 0-3, then Lazio lost to Graz Storm with an overall score of 3-4. Lazio will be eliminated at that time.
That's why Mancini is in a hurry.
"Coach Mancini, I've given Lazio a chance. I said, ten minutes, I'm only giving the Lazio fans ten minutes. Now that Lazio fans have also attacked the goalkeeper of the Graz Storm, the game cannot continue. ”
"No, Jack. Referee Lee. You can't do this. ”
Mancini almost pleaded with Jack.
But Jack no longer had the energy to argue with him, and said decisively: "Sorry, Coach Mancini." It's not once or twice that you've been in this situation in Lazio. If you don't put things in order, I'm sure there will be a next time for things like this. ”
This game made Jack have a very bad impression of Lazio.
Lazio fans are already notorious in European football, and Lazio itself failed to rectify its fans, and deserved this kind of thing. Jack doesn't want to say that he stopped the game, and Jack must also make Lazio fans look good in his post-match report.
So instead of listening to Mancini's pleas, Jack went straight to the exit.
"There was an unexpected situation on the field. England came Jack. Referee Lee whistled for a halt to the game, presumably believing that the Lazio fans were in a situation where they could not continue the game. UEFA is likely to give Lazio a 3-0 home defeat to Storm Graz. ”
"Jack. Referee Lee went too far. How can he blow a stop? ”
"Jack. Referee Li was very decisive and directly stopped the game. ”
Different commentators have different emotions, but they are all shocked. Because of this game, which was originally no suspense, such a situation occurred. (To be continued......)
