Chapter XXXVII

Football is full of passion, players are in a state of high excitement on the field, physical contact is inevitable, and small collisions occur from time to time.

However, as a professional player, rather than an idle person in society, the sportsmanship and high professionalism are essential, and how to maintain a rational mind in a state of excitement is also the first lesson that all football superstars have to accept, and the performance of some players is far from the same.

For example, the male protagonist of this chapter!

Name, Pepe: Male, Portuguese and Brazilian, born with a villain face, garlic nose and crocodile mouth, always a jiashi who wants to eat people.

In this summer's transfer boom, he defected to Real Madrid, known as Mr. More than 30 million, known in the industry for his rough football style and terrifying nervous temper, and when he first arrived, he firmly sat in the starting central defender position in the Cosmos team.

With his equally rough and fierce teammate Ramos, he started a tug-of-war for red and yellow cards in the league, and people in the circle nicknamed "Black Wind and Double Evil", which can be described as prestigious.

In Digan's previous life, one of Pepe's most commendable performances was in La Liga, once against Getafe.

In the 87th minute of that game, a player of the Getafe team received the ball and burst into the penalty area, Pepe made a decisive move when the defense was out of position, and the player pushed with one palm, and the person who was pushed understood and fell to the ground.

The deacon's referee immediately showed Pepe his second yellow card of the game, two yellows turned into one red, and Pepe was ejected.

It can be said that it was too late and that was fast, and I don't know if the peripheral nerves were activated, or the second pulse of Ren Du was opened, and the reality of the blood Linlin made Pepe become animalistic, and staged a martial arts show in front of everyone, and sprinkled joy.

He first violently attacked the players who fell to the ground, and took Taishan to suppress the top, horses and quail pigeons, etc., wantonly trampling on the right to life and health of others, and then he performed a blow to the opposing player who came to persuade the Huanglong, the killing was quite strong, the other party complained bitterly, lamented and sighed, and then Pepe used intimidation and verbal threats to the fourth official and other retaliatory actions, which approached the bottom line of the other party's soul, which can be described as yin, damage, poison, spicy, and everything is extremely exerted, which makes people sigh and praise!

After the game, the Shijie media launched a fierce bombardment of Pepe's atrocities, and even Real Madrid's mouthpiece "Marca" criticized Pepe this time, instead of protecting the calf. Just imagine, even if Pepe has 110,000 reasons to defend himself, and countless people have come forward to cover him up, people can only think that you don't have the quality of a professional player at all, and you can't see any superstar potential from you, or be obedient, don't have fun on the football field, go back to your hometown to raise chickens and farm, without people like you, football Shijie will be much more peaceful.

Although today's Pepe is still not famous, the essence of the villain has been revealed, you must know that in the era when Degan originally lived, this guy has almost become synonymous with violence on the court, and there are countless bad deeds, and he even won a nickname from Chinese netizens - Bulletproof Warrior Monk!

Pepe also expressed remorse in the Real Madrid dressing room: "I do go too far at times. โ€

His team-mates couldn't understand why Pepe had repeatedly lost control on the pitch.

'I don't know why he's become two very different people on and off the pitch, he's a bubbly lad off the pitch and he's a very good person. Anyone who knows him is hard to imagine that he would do these things on the pitch. Even Pepe himself couldn't understand his own actions when he rewatched the footage. A Real Madrid player once said.

In terms of physical fitness and technical and tactical ability, Pepe is definitely one of the best central defenders today, and even Barcelona's opponent Gerard Pique has even hailed him as "the best central defender of the day".

However, Pepe often made mistakes on the pitch, and his brain-dead moments were countless, which greatly hurt the image of Real Madrid.

At the beginning of joining Real Madrid, Pepe's style on the field was quite restrained. But soon, the villain is revealed, and Pepe even becomes the target of his teammates' violence.

During an intra-squad training session at Real Madrid, Pepe was fouled on Balboa, which led to a verbal exchange between the two sides. In the ensuing corner, Pepe knocked Balboa to the ground with a black elbow. Balboa immediately got up and punched Pepe in the face, and the Portuguese immediately spurted a nosebleed. The Real Madrid players quickly separated the two players who were scuffling together, and Schuster kicked both men off the training ground.

On the pitch, Pepe is even more unscrupulous, as far as Degan remembers the experience of countless mistakes, in the second leg of the 2011 Champions League 1/8 finals, Real Madrid defeated Lyon 3:0 at home. In defense of Lisandro. When Lรณpez, Pepe hit the back of the head with his right knee and also stepped on the abdomen of the Argentine center. And when the big foot cleared, Pepe habitually kicked Sissoko on the left cheek. It's inconceivable that Pepe wasn't sent off for these three rough fouls.

In the 2011 Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 1-0. When Camuro scored, Pepe rushed to the stands of the Barca fans and made an insulting gesture with an umbrella, but he was not punished for it. When Messi fell to the ground in the game, Pepe deliberately stepped on the flea ankle, and the referee Marienko did not punish him.

In the first leg of the 2011 Champions League semi-finals, Pepe's red card off the pitch changed the course of the game. Real Madrid both interpreted the "godfather theory" on the grounds that Alves faked a fall, but in fact, whether Alves was kicked or not, Pepe's extremely hurtful actions were enough to get a red card. If this kick is fully forced, Alves is likely to suffer a broken leg.

In the first leg of the 2012 Copa del Rey quarterfinals, Pepe showed an all-round performance. Cesc Fabregas's palm inadvertently touched Pepe's face, and Pepe immediately covered his face and fell to the ground for a long time, peeking through his fingers to see if the referee punished Xiaofa. When Messi sat down on the ground, Pepe deliberately stepped on the flea's palm, but also escaped punishment. Pepe's act of trampling Messi was even made into a popular internet game.

Pepe was also ruthless to his enemies and his own people, and in the 2012 match against Valencia, Pepe was tackled by Piatti and rolled on the ground exaggeratedly, but referee Gomez refused to punish the Argentine. Avelloa came over and asked Pepe to get up as soon as possible and not to delay the game, but Pepe, who suddenly had a short circuit in his brain, raised his left foot and kicked Avelloa's left knee, and then continued to roll. Averoa could only laugh at himself on Weibo afterwards: "It's good that Pepe retracted his foot, otherwise I would have broken my bones." โ€

The soul-piercing Degan is of course familiar with Pepe's repeated evil deeds, so at the beginning of the game, he was on guard against him, but Degan didn't expect that just before the end of the game, Pepe actually gave him such a sudden.

Di Gan, who was thrown to the ground, intuitively felt that his entire upper body was going to fall apart, and he only cared about fighting for the top just now, and he didn't do any protective action at all.

But this is not over, Pepe is very satisfied with his work, suddenly saw the referee's hand pointed to the penalty spot, if he concedes another goal at this time, what will be the end, he knows very well.

At this moment, his heart, which he prided himself to be very pure, was once again occupied by the devil, and he kicked Degan, who was about to get up.

Degan was a little dazed by the fall, and just as he was about to get up, he felt a pain in his shoulder, and then fell to the ground again, and before he could understand what was happening, he was kicked in the chest by Pepe again.

Now Degan is completely sober, looking at Pepe, who is still unrelenting, he is also on fire, although Degan rarely has any radical behavior on the court, but this does not mean that he is a good talker.

Seeing Pepe's feet come again, Degan dodged to the side, jumped up violently, and turned his fist at Pepe's ugly face was a heavy cannon.

With a fist, Pepe, who was still fighting very well just now, suddenly had a peach blossom on his face, this is not the end, Degan has suffered such a big loss, if he doesn't get it back, where can he be worthy of himself, and then he stepped forward and grabbed Pepe's collar, which was a violent beating.

Pepe feels that his combat effectiveness is high enough, but where is Degan a good match, as early as when he was in Atlanta, he had beaten Saudati on the training ground and beat him to a half-crippled, Pepe, a bald donkey, didn't want to chant and eat fast, and actually dared to tease his tiger whiskers, which was obviously looking for death.

If it weren't for the players on both sides stepping forward in time and the referee trying his best to separate the two people, Pepe's face, which originally looked like a joke, was estimated to be beaten into a flat mode by Degan.

The two had a big fight, of course, most of the time it was Deegan who was beating people, which made the players on both sides also angry, especially the players of the Portuguese team, who were already anxious because of the score behind, and now they were awarded a penalty.

The Portuguese want to fight, and a bunch of strong men in Belgium, of course, don't mind being accompanied, seeing that a riot is about to break out, fortunately, there are still people with cool heads.

Hojkens, Simmons and Boufer stopped their teammates and pushed their teammates to the sidelines, regardless of the punches that kept falling on the three of them, and the Belgian coaching staff immediately went out to protect the players.

The riot police were in full force to calm down the gaffe, and when it was all over, people went to see Pepe, who had been beaten unconscious by Degan.

Degan, who beat someone, also knew what his end was, took the initiative to walk in front of the referee, applied for a red card, and then, like a winner, walked off the field in the face of the boos of tens of thousands of Portuguese fans.

Antienes looked at it, and also had a headache, although it was not Degan who took the lead, speaking of which Degan was still a victim, but looking at the tragic situation of Pepe who was carried on a stretcher, it is estimated that the punishment that Deegan will face after the game will not be light, not to mention that Degan has offended UEFA and FIFA before.

The referee on duty first gave Digan and Pepe a red card, and then Simao, Petit and Carvalho of Portugal and Gul and Van der Haeg of Belgium were also sent off one after another.

There was not much time left in the game and the referee declared the end of the game after the Belgian had converted the penalty.

So many things happened in one game, not to mention the football associations of the two teams and the two countries, even the referee is also a headache, how to write the report after the game?

Belgium qualified, but Antienes was not happy at all, the team's top scorer was sent off, and there is a high risk of UEFA heavy sentence due to violence on the pitch.

At the post-match press conference, the furious Antienes also failed to maintain his gentleness for the first time: "This game was terrible, I didn't say my players, they played well, they did everything they could to win, but my opponent was very disappointing, especially Pepe's thug, I don't know if his heart was occupied by the devil at that time, that kind of behavior should not have been in such an important game, I don't want to defend the player, Degan will be punished." It's not something I can manage, but Pepe should be fully responsible for this conflict, he ruined a good game. โ€

Antienes condemned Pepe, and Scolari certainly couldn't remain silent, although he was no longer the head coach of the Portuguese team after this game, but he couldn't ignore his Brazilian countryman.

"Coach Antienes' accusations against Pepe are completely unjustified, no one knows what happened at the time, I only saw what Digan said, which provoked my players, and it caused this conflict, maybe Pepe's reaction was a bit fierce, but he should not take full responsibility."

When Antienes heard this, he immediately mocked: "Did Degan speak? At that time, Deegan was lying on the ground, and I really didn't understand how coach Scolari saw Deegan talking and stimulating Pepe? โ€

Scolari's face turned red and he quickly changed the subject: "Regarding this conflict, I think UEFA will give a clear result, and it doesn't make any sense to say this now!" โ€

"Of course I know it doesn't make sense, I just want to tell people that Deegan is innocently victimized, he just wants to play with all his might, try his best to win, but he is beaten by others!"

Although Pepe was beaten more badly, no one sympathized with him, as Antienes said, and Degan was an innocent victim in this incident.

Attention is now focused on UEFA, and how they decide will have a direct impact on Belgium's fortunes at the European Championships.
