Chapter 982: Post-Game Dispute
When referee Michel blew the whistle for the end of the game, Liverpool and Porto were unhappy, and even the referee was unhappy, because many fans also booed the referee. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
1 point is the minimum goal set by the two teams before the game, and it is also the bottom line, but Porto has a great chance to win during the game, just 50 minutes into the game, Liverpool was sent off, and for more than 40 minutes, Liverpool were 10 players, but Porto was not able to grasp this golden opportunity, how can the Porto people not be disappointed.
And Liverpool, as the defending champion, even if it is an away game, three points against Porto can never be regarded as an upset, and getting one point can only be said to be passing, but judging from the scene of the game, Liverpool is completely behind, compared to the draw, this is something that makes the defending champion more embarrassed, so it is strange that Liverpool's players can be happy.
After the game, the reporter interviewed Chen Yu and Quaresma, who were also the best players today, and it can be said that their performance determined the result of today's game.
In the face of the reporter's interview, Maresca is still in a good mood, the draw is the best result, but for him, today's performance is highlight, and he is so excited, that is, he wants to show himself in front of Liverpool.
Maresca told reporters, "Although Liverpool is the best team in Europe, but today we played better and had a chance to get three points, but we were not lucky enough, but this is only a group game, and against the strongest opponent in this group, one point is acceptable." ”
Maresca said he was satisfied with his performance in this game, but if he did, he would give himself an 8 for today, and Maresca hopes to play better in the later games to help the team qualify from Group A and reach the last 16 of the Champions League, and even go further.
Although Chen Yu scored an equalizing goal today, after Pennant went off the field, he played a major role at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but compared to the previous performance of one person to decide the outcome of the game, today's Chen Yu can only be regarded as a normal performance.
Regarding the result of this game, Chen Yu bluntly said that it was not good, "A game without a win is a bad game, not to mention the process is even worse, we didn't play our own style today, the rhythm of the game was controlled by Porto, and it was more difficult to play after one less person in the second half, I have to say, even if you get a point, you are very lucky." ”
When the reporter asked him how he played in this game, Chen Yu said that he was quite satisfied with his performance, "Porto's strength is not weak, they should be the second strongest team in this group, their skills are very good, they didn't give us many opportunities to possess the ball, and this is Porto's home stadium, and it can be regarded as a guarantee to score a goal." ”
Of course, the reporter will not ask Pennant about the red card, Chen Yu explained, he said: "The scale of today's game is more suitable for Porto, the Premier League's body and strength of the play have been limited, Pennant is very uncomfortable, he must be very impatient, there may be some off-field factors, I heard that Pennant and his girlfriend just broke up, maybe this is the reason why he can't suppress his anger today." ”
Chen Yu is optimistic about the rest of the Champions League group stage, he said: "A draw is not to be feared, our goal in the group stage is only to win the group, not to win all, from the current point of view, no team can really threaten our group top position." ”
The reporter also asked about the situation of the league, Chen Yu believes that his ban has brought a lot of trouble to his teammates, fortunately, his teammates have performed well, in the three games of his ban, his teammates won two games, only one draw, and did not let the championship opponent behind him catch up, Liverpool's next opponent is Birmingham, which is a team controlled by the Chinese owner, Chen Yu regretted that he could not participate in the game with Birmingham because of the ban, he said: "It must be a very exciting thing to be able to play with a team with Chinese elementsI can't play, but I'm going to be there to cheer them on. ”
"It's like at least two of the three games you've been suspended have been spent on the field with your teammates for 40 minutes, why would you want to do that?"
A reporter asked curiously.
Hearing this question, Chen Yu's expression became serious, and he replied very seriously: "Although I am banned and cannot fight side by side with my teammates, I must let my teammates know that I have always been with them, and I hope this can make my teammates feel more at ease and give them a little help." ”
After the post-match interview, Chen Yu walked back to the dressing room to the applause of Liverpool fans in the stands.
At the moment, the coach in Liverpool's dressing room was not there, the players didn't know what they were arguing about, and everyone didn't even stop when Chen Yu came in.
The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Chen Yu closed the door of the locker room, and didn't say anything, just stood there and listened.
It turned out that after the game, everyone was unhappy with the result, so they complained to each other, and finally quarreled, and even the captain Gerrard was involved.
At this time, the deputy Carragher came over and said, "You persuade everyone, the fight is over, and there is a fart." ”
Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "The game is not good, everyone is uncomfortable, and if you can sulk at the noise, it will be good." ”
Carragher saw that everyone looked tense and said, "I'm afraid of fighting." ”
Chen Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's talk about it when we fight." ”
Carragher wanted to persuade again, but Chen Yu said in a low voice: "The coach is already here." ”
Then the door opened, and Benitez entered, who had actually been outside for a while, not quite clearly, but also a rough idea.
The people who were arguing in the locker room stopped arguing when they saw the manager coming in, and looked at Benitez in a sneering manner, arguing and not sitting.
Originally, Benitez didn't get angry after the game, and it was okay to get a point with one less person, and today's referee's penalty scale is so severe, even if he doesn't send off a person, he doesn't dare to say that he can definitely win, but seeing that the players are still noisy now, his fire has also come up.
"Noisy! Keep arguing! ”
Benitez said sternly.
There was silence in the locker room.
Benitez glanced at all the players in the dressing room and said, "What is the blame, is it anyone's fault that the game is played like this?" Pennant was the culprit today, but did we play well in the first half? ”
The vast majority of people in the dressing room bowed their heads, everyone didn't play well today, and no one dared to say that they played well today.
Benitez said: "Today's game was not good, but the process was not good, the result is acceptable, draw away, back at home, as long as we can beat Porto, the group will not be left behind, but why did the process play so badly? Don't just consider that the referee's law enforcement scale is too strict, in the Champions League, the referee's law enforcement scale has always been stricter than the Premier League, which you should all know very well, and it is not the first time to play the Champions League, today's problem is that there is no fuller estimate of the difficulty of the game, the strength of Porto is not clear, the opening was beaten by the opponent and could not raise his head, the face is ugly, and the psychology is impatient, which is the root of our passivity today. ”
After Benitez knocked the players for a while, he said: "If the worst performance today is Pennant, then the second worst performance today is me, I didn't replace Pennant when he was psychologically unbalanced in the game, missed the last chance to win, I didn't know enough about the players before the game, I didn't know that Pennant had just broken up with his girlfriend, if I knew, maybe I wouldn't have let Pennant play for so long today." ”
Just when they were arguing, most of the Liverpool players pointed the finger at Pennant, and now Benitez said this, Liverpool's players understand why Pennant couldn't control their emotions in the game, and they were a little ashamed of the merciless rebuke of Pennant just now.
Benitez didn't come to the locker room just now, just to ask the assistant coach Pennant about Penante, who was favored by Benitez, bought, and pulled it up, he was worried that a mistake in a game would ruin this talented teenager he was optimistic about, so when knocking Pennant and other players, he took the opportunity to explain for Pennant.
After beating Pennant and other players, Benitez said: "Today's best performance is Chen Yu and Reina, to be able to take away a point from the Dragon Stadium, they are indispensable, today's scene is embarrassing, if it weren't for Chen Yu and Quaresma's several highlight performances when they played against each other, our defending champion's face would have been lost today." This is only the first game of Group A, and the next games against Marseille and Besiktas may not be easy to play, so I hope you will learn from today's lessons and play well in the next games. ”
Rafael Benitez was out for his post-match press conference after training his players, and by the time he arrived, Porto coach Patrick Ferreira had been waiting for a long time.
As both sides were not so happy with the outcome of the game, the two managers also made decent statements at the press conference, reviewed the game, praised their opponents, looked to the future, and were ready to answer a few more questions from reporters.
But the reporters didn't want the press conference to be so dull, and an English reporter asked Porto coach Patrick Ferreira almost defiantly: "If Pennant is not sent off, can Liverpool win the game, is it the referee Michel's decision that determines the outcome of the game?" ”
Ferreira was angry at the issue, saying: "Is there a problem with Michelle's decision? Shouldn't you be a card for a foul? So why do you need red and yellow cards? The referee can't decide the game, it's the players who decide the game, and when Pennant wasn't sent off, we didn't fall behind. ”
With the provocation of the English journalists, the Portuguese journalists, of course, were not polite, and the questions they asked Benitez were also scathing.
"If you don't look at the jersey, fans might think that the defending champions are Porto. Did Liverpool play at a normal level today? ”
"Is it fair that Liverpool take a point away from the Dragons?"
'Are Liverpool sure they can beat Porto at Anfield?'
In the face of such a problem, Benitez passed a lot of big scenes, he was very calm and did not be provoked by reporters, "We didn't play well today, but we were able to get relatively good results when we didn't play well, which is why Liverpool is the European champion." ”
Seeing that the reporters were suppressed, Benitez smiled contemptuously and turned away, no longer giving the reporters a chance to attack.
