"One to zero, one to zero. No one expected such a thing to happen, less than a minute into the game, and the correct time was sixteen seconds into the game, when the Graz Storm scored a goal. It was the fastest goal in the UEFA Cup this season and the fastest goal ever scored in League Cup history. The overall score of Graz Storm became 2-3. ”

Although Lazio's lead was still very large, the opening was still a surprise for the Lazio players.

Even Lazio fans were stunned.

After all, Graz Storm, what a team this is. A team from Austria has no place in European football at all. Their league is completely ninth-rate, and none of the teams in the big five leagues have them in mind.

Take a look at the first round of the game.

Lazio comfortably fielded them 3-1 at home. At home, the Graz Storm did not fight back. So there was no suspense, everyone thought that today's game was all about playing. Who knew something like this would happen.

'It's a foul, it's a foul. The referee's whistle was too soft, and it was a foul. ”

The commentator on Lazio's side criticized Jack as a foul.

He grabbed the tackle and thought it was a foul. Of course, the players on the pitch think the same way, including the fans on the pitch. So when Jack ruled that the goal was valid, the crowd booed Jack.

"Shhh

"Mr. referee, this is a foul. How can this not be a foul? ”

Even Lazio coach Roberto Mancini. However, Jack still shook his head, indicating that it was a good shot. That goal is not a foul, and in the Premier League it is nothing controversial.

Even if it's in the Champions League and the League Cup. These tackles are good shots. Although he was later tackled with the ball, Jack saw it clearly. This tackle is the first tackle to the ball.

And it's a clear tackle, not a tackle.

Now FIFA and UEFA are also considering. Is it a foul to take a tackle from the side behind? But the resistance was too great, and many people were fouled. If even such a tackle is considered a foul, then how will the game be played in the future. Therefore, this clause has always been the opinion of some people, and it cannot occupy the mainstream of the adjudication community.

The only blame can be that Liverani is too slow. The players of Graz Storm were not expected to be so positive.

But Lazio players and fans blamed Jack for being too soft. However, Jack didn't care about their complaints at all and insisted on his punishment. The goal came so suddenly, and so quickly, that even Lazio were caught off guard.

It really affected the mental state of the Lazio players.

Webb tossed the ball to Saomel in midfield. Saomel had good pace and he broke through midfield. Riverani tackles, which doesn't hit the ball. Instead, he shoveled Saumel down. ”

"Toot-"

Jack shook his head.

Because this is an obvious act of revenge. Because it was the Graz Storm players who tackled Liverani, but Jack didn't blow the whistle. This time, Livilani was venting his frustration with the ball just now.

So when Jack walked over, he already had a yellow card in his hand.

"Why. Mr. referee, you didn't award that ball just now, so you will get a yellow card. ”

Dino. Baggio stands in front of Jack and blocks Jack's path. Hopefully Jack will change his mind. Jack looked at Dino. Baggio, shaking his head, said, "Dino. Baggio, Strafoller's tackle was the first tackle to the ball, not a foul. And Liverani's ball was completely headed. What an action this is. I'm sure you should understand it yourself. ”

Jackclas opened Dino. Baggio, but still to Dino. Baggio explained.

Then he came in front of Liverani and gave him a yellow card. Then he said to him, "Fabio, you listen to me." Keep your temper in check. Don't do that again. ”

In the first five minutes, Lazio had already received a yellow card and had scored a goal by the Graz storm.

Lazio fans were not satisfied.

Lazio fans who came to the scene today. But they are all fanatical Lazio fans. These people are basically concentrated in the North Stand. Say it's an avid fan, in other words. The football hooligans among Lazio fans were born from among them.

Fights and brawls are commonplace for them.

At the time of the game. The clashes at the scene were all made by these so-called fanatical fans. In fact, they are not much different from some extreme fans.

Usually the club will not offend them. Because they are the strongest supporters of the club. But again, the club is very unhappy with them. Because they frequently cause trouble, they actually affect the club. This is called a fanatical fan, but also an extreme fan.

Now they are furious to see Lazio behind and Jack to give Liverani a yellow card.

"Yellow-skinned monkey, get out of Italy for me!"

"Fuck off! You idiot referee! ”

Jack heard the mockery of the Lazio fans in an instant. Jack has long known that in Italian football, racial discrimination is very serious. Lazio is one of the hardest hit areas.

They mock and racially discriminate even their own players. Not to mention the other players.

Like Thuram, when he was still in Parma, he was racially discriminated against by Lazio fans. Therefore, Lazio and Juventus snatched Thuram that year, but Thuram naturally chose Juventus. How could he choose Lazio, who had once racist against him.

Of course, there are a whole host of people on this list, including Roma's Cafu and Arsenal's Patrick Vieira, all of whom have been attacked in racist language at Lazio's home stadium.

And even more excessively, Lazio is not just racist fans at every turn. Even their players are notorious. Many of their players have been suspected of racism.

When Jack came, he also thought that this would happen.

But Jack didn't think about himself, because he was the referee. Most of these fans' attacks are directed at opposing players. I didn't expect the game to just start. This group of fans turned out to be attacking themselves. Jack was very unhappy in his heart, they simply regarded the referee as a soft persimmon.

Racism is such a thing. UEFA's penalties are severe.

The severity of the punishment has a lot to do with the referee's post-match report. If the referee lets you go. Then there will be a ban for one or two games at home. But once the referee gets angry and gives them a serious report, then it is possible to ban the home fans for four or five games.

Jack was already furious in his heart, and he didn't give them a little color to see, and he really thought of himself as a sick cat.

Even Liverani, who was shown a yellow card by Jack, was a little angry.

Because Liverani is black, he is the first black international in the history of Italian football. He also suffered a lot of discrimination in Italy back then. Not once or twice, so he understood Jack's thoughts better than anyone else. He wasn't happy about Lazio fans' approach. Instead, I felt angry.

"Jack. Referee Lee, don't care. They're just a small group of extreme fans. ”

Seeing Jack's expression, Coto came up and explained to Jack in a friendly way. In fact, in his heart, Coto has scolded those Lazio fans I don't know how many times.

What a bunch of pig teammates.

You usually insult your opponents, so it doesn't matter. But it's no joke that you're attacking the referee so nakedly. If the referee is angry, then it is Lazio who suffers in the end.

Cotoko is a player of Portugal's golden generation and has a lot of experience. Seeing Jack's expression, you can know that Jack is very angry at the moment. He didn't want Jack to target Lazio.

"Perhaps."

Jack shrugged. Very usual response to Coto. Jack is actually very angry, and he can describe it as angry. But the more angry he became, the calmer he found himself. Instead of being angry as he imagined, he became more and more calm.

"Toot-"

Jack signals for Graz Storm to take a free-kick. It's like nothing happened. It may have been that the first goal went in too quickly. To the great delight of the players of Graz Storm.

It also boosts their morale.

They were very active and pressed all over the court. This made the Lazio players, who were not very mentally prepared for this game, very passive. Originally, in terms of strength, Lazio was crushing the opponent.

Even Lazio's substitute is much better than Graz Storm in terms of strength. But after the start of the game. It turned out to be very passive. Being pushed aside by the Graz storm left neither Inzaghi nor Chiesa with any room to play.

"Cotto. Handed the ball to Castroman. Sabikos, Sabikos steals the ball. Castello is too slow. Didn't observe their side at all. ”

Slow pace.

That's all I can say. Serie A teams are already slow-paced, but a slow pace doesn't mean it's bad. Like Milan this season, Carlo Ancelotti invented a very clever four-ten's play. Pirlo, Seedorf, Rivaldo, Rui Costa four of the 10 combination.

Milan are also slow at the tempo, but they are able to control their tempo very well. Their slow pace is deliberately lowered tempo, but when it comes to the need for fast, they have never hesitated.

But Lazio in this game is different. Probably because Lazio were too contemptuous of their opponents before the game, and when they didn't tie their hands as they thought, they became a little flustered.

This time Castroman was like that.

After receiving the ball from Coto, Castroman had some nonchalance. Sabikos was not found to be next to him, so he had some calm possession. Sabikos, who was next to him, was alert and immediately ran to Castroman's side to grab the ball. Castroman was in a hurry, after all, he was standing at the back, with the centre-back behind him. After Sabikos grabbed the ball, he was completely facing the Lazio backline.

Any strong backline in the world would be very dangerous if it faced the opponent's attackers directly. Now Sabikos grabs the ball, which is what caused this situation.

Therefore, Castroman had no choice but to pull Sabikos down.

"Toot-"

Jack definitely didn't expect such a situation to occur before officiating this game. It should be said that the game is very simple. With Lazio's quality, this game should be a one-of-a-kind game.

But when the game started, Lazio was flustered.

This time Castroman's action was a typical tactical foul, and Jack showed another yellow card.

There was no controversy about the yellow card, and Castroman himself knew about it. So seeing Jack's yellow card, he just silently left the foul site and went to the wall.

'There was some anxiety on the part of the Lazio players. It was only 11 minutes of the first half, and the Lazio players had already received two yellow cards. One is Liverani and the other is Castroman. If this continues, there may be a red card. Lazio's players need to calm down. ”

"People thought it was going to be a one-of-a-kind game. But no one expected the Graz Storm players to be so positive. Lazio should be careful not to underestimate the Graz storm. ”

Yes, the game is completely different from what I thought before the game.

The Lazio players also felt it. Mancini has not been able to sit down since the start of the game. Walking around on the sidelines, shouting a few words from time to time. (To be continued......)
