Volume 1 Chapter 593 God Apologized Too?
When referee Roberto Rossetti blew the whistle for the end of the match, the entire Old Trafford stadium burst into deafening cheers, and almost all the Red Devils fans rushed out of their seats in a frenzy, celebrating the team's victory, but this celebration certainly did not include their recognition of the team's performance in this game.
00 Tottenham Hotspur ultimately failed to score at Old Trafford.
16, this is the comparison of the number of shots on goal between the two sides in the whole game, according to international practice, the home team Manchester United is in front, the away team Tottenham Hotspur is behind, and the number of shots on target is Tottenham Hotspur also had a beautiful effective goal in the first half was blown away by the referee, otherwise the situation will be completely rewritten.
It can be said that except for the opening period, Manchester United was very passive throughout the game, especially in the second half, Tottenham Hotspur almost desperately launched waves of attacks against Manchester United, and after sixty-five minutes, Ye Qiu was directly replaced by Falcao to further strengthen the team's front-court scoring ability.
If United were able to match Tottenham Hotspur in the first half, the situation in the second half was completely one-sided, with United almost using a bucket of defence to prevent Tottenham from scoring, and in the end, Ferguson's side kept the score of 00 to the bottom.
Because the first leg was Tottenham Hotspur who gave Manchester United an away goal, so now Tottenham Hotspur is equivalent to being defeated by this away goal and eliminated from the Champions League.
This also made Tottenham Hotspur's captain on the field, Thiago Silva, feel very annoyed, as soon as the final whistle blew, he sat on the turf, staring blankly ahead, watching the Manchester United players celebrate the promotion, but also looking at the lost eyes and expressions of his teammates.
Tottenham Hotspur's away goal was given to Manchester United by him, if it wasn't for his mistake in clearance, which turned the clearance into an assist and passed it to Sneijder, Rooney would not have scored, and now, it was his wonderful pass that passed Tottenham Hotspur directly out of the Champions League semi-finals.
If it weren't for this clever pass, Tottenham Hotspur would have reached the final and would have hoped to complete a third consecutive Champions League title.
"I'm the sinner of the team and I'm responsible for the team's failures," Thiago Silva cursed to himself.
The team-mates around them look like they are losing their souls, they have won almost everything in the last two seasons, whether in the Premier League or the Champions League, they are invincible, any team that meets Tottenham Hotspur would be terrified, but now, they have lost, which makes them all feel very unaccustomed and even depressed.
It turned out that the feeling of losing was so bad, we all forgot about it a little
Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, silently looking at the two completely different expressions on the field, frankly speaking, Tottenham Hotspur reached the semi-finals, and this result made him satisfied, but he still felt very embarrassed to lose in such a way.
Tottenham Hotspur are in a phase of adjustment this season and have been able to maintain their fighting power in the Champions League, which has done what he booked at the beginning of the season, but the problem is that he and his team could have done better, even to make it three in a row, have now been disillusioned by a miscalculation
Who would willingly accept such an outcome?
But the thing is, that's the way it is in European football, you can only accept it unless you don't play anymore
Those who dream of being able to change this world with their own hands are too young and naïve, and only when they are no longer young and naïve, will they suddenly look back and find that they have been changed by this world
Ye Qiu can't change the status quo of the entire European football, no matter how rich he is, even if he has the most wealth in the world, he still can't change the European football, at best, he can only make two choices freely, either accept or quit.
Of course, Ye Qiu was willing to believe that this was a miscalculation, but he couldn't stop others from conjectures with more conspiracy theories.
Perhaps, from now on, no more people will say that Tottenham Hotspur is the personal favorite of UEFA President Michel Platini.
"Is there anything you'd like to say?" Ferguson walked over, this time he didn't gloat, maybe he himself knew that this time he was going shit luck, because a referee's misjudgment led to his success, and even in the second half, Manchester United was in danger in front of the goal, if it wasn't for Van der Sar's excellent performance, it is estimated that he would have been finished.
After Ye Qiu smiled bitterly, he shook his head, "Maybe I should care about you, can your heart still stand it?" ”
After hearing this, Ferguson laughed, he knew that Ye Qiu was sarcastic and ridiculed him, because he had a heart attack, and the situation in the second half of Manchester United was definitely able to stop the heart of a heart patient.
"Don't worry, my heart is not made of meat, it's made of machines," Ferguson said with a smile.
Years ago, Ferguson's heart was fitted with a pacemaker to prevent his heart from suddenly stopping beating.
"No matter what, I still have to congratulate you" Ye Qiu still showed his demeanor, if he lost the game, he could win it back in the future, but if he lost his demeanor, it would be difficult to make up for it.
To put it mildly, misjudged, which game has not been played? Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Tottenham Hotspur can afford to lose and let go
"But, old ghost, I can tell you, you eliminated us and entered the final, don't be cheap Mourinho bastard in the end, otherwise, I really won't let you go" Ye Qiu clenched his fists and cheered for Ferguson.
"Don't worry, I've waited for so many years, and finally waited for this opportunity, I won't let it go" Ferguson is also full of confidence to guarantee, because Inter Milan's card this season is indeed not ideal, the midfield, the back line and the goalkeeper position are all holes, Mourinho can lead such an Inter Milan to the Champions League final, in addition to the draw luck, his coaching ability has also been fully reflected.
Ye Qiu patted Ferguson on the shoulder, turned around and walked to the players' tunnel, because the Tottenham Hotspur players had already entered the players' tunnel one after another and went back to the locker room.
The away dressing room at Old Trafford, like all stadiums, is very rudimentary, significantly more modest than the home team's dressing room, and it is the conspiracy of all the teams playing at home to do everything they can to jam the visitors, and the dressing room is an inevitable part of it.
Of course, there are strict rules about the facilities in the away team's dressing rooms, so there will still be facilities that should be there.
Ye Qiu pushed open the door of the away team's locker room and found that all the players were sitting quietly in front of their wardrobes, and there was a sense of frustration and disappointment everywhere in the whole locker room, after all, they had fought for a season, and everyone hoped that they could have a better harvest and be able to win all the championships.
Sometimes Ye Qiu even thinks that maybe it is because Tottenham Hotspur has been too smooth sailing in the past period of time, and it is actually not a big deal to suffer a setback, maybe it can promote the mentality of the players to become more mature, so that the overall cohesion and combat effectiveness of the team can be raised to a higher level.
"Okay, guys, forget about this game" Ye Qiu walked into the locker room and closed the door with his backhand.
All the players looked at Ye Qiu, but the look projected in each pair of eyes was obviously different, some of them hoped to find hope again from the head coach, some hoped that the head coach could help them get out of the shadow of losing, and some felt ashamed and self-blame, feeling that they had failed the head coach's expectations.
"I'm here, I have to apologize to everyone, the biggest responsibility for this loss is on me, it's my poor command, and it's also because I knew that the thickness of the team was not thick enough in the past period, but I insisted on fighting on multiple fronts, which eventually led to the team suffering this defeat, and I must apologize to everyone for this."
Ye Qiu's words obviously surprised many players present, you must know that in their minds, Ye Qiu's status and influence are beyond doubt, he is the god of Tottenham Hotspur, the supreme god, no one can shake it.
But now, God has apologized?
"To be honest, I'm very proud of everyone's performance, not just the progress and brilliance of the last few seasons, but also this season, I think your performance is unparalleled, you are the best and best professional players in the world, and I even think that no one is qualified to ask you to do more and better, because you are already quite good"
Ye Qiu's words were sincere, obviously easing some of the atmosphere in the locker room.
"Losing is not a disaster, no team can guarantee that they will never lose, no professional player can guarantee that they will always win, we should learn to accept defeat, accept loss, because this is what a really mature and strong team should be"
Ye Qiu's words made many of the players present nod their heads, but they all need some time, maybe a few hours, maybe a day or two, they need time to get out of the shadow of this loss, but no one will stay here forever.
"I also want to say that I am proud to have such a great player as you, we are a young team, we are still developing and improving at a high speed, we will not be satisfied with the honors we have received in the past, everything we have achieved, we will continue to strive for more honors, higher achievements"
"As I said before, on this path to success, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and all the Tottenham Hotspur fans will not forget any of you and not a single drop of sweat that you have put into Tottenham Hotspur."
"I can assure you and promise that in the next three years, we will build a better Tottenham Hotspur team than we are now, better than we have in the past, and you, all of you here, you are a very important part of my plan and that of the management, so don't lose confidence in yourself, your team-mates, your team because of a loss."
Ye Qiu didn't say anything after that, just clenched his fists and shook them, making gestures of encouragement.
The news of Tottenham Hotspur's defeat to Manchester United in the Champions League immediately made headlines in the major European media the next day, but unlike the hype of the winners in the past, this time all the media were fighting for Tottenham Hotspur, and even the Manchester Evening News felt that Manchester United's victory was a bit unfair.
Van der Sar said in an interview with the Manchester Evening News after the game that Messi's long-range shot did cross the goal line, but because it all happened in an instant, the referee did not see it clearly, and many Manchester United players could not see what the situation was.
In fact, what Van der Sar said is what often happens on the football pitch, which is that no one can guarantee that they saw everything that is happening, or that they can see it clearly, but they still choose to rush up and press.
It's a game strategy on a football field
Rio Ferdinand said he didn't see exactly whether it had crossed the goal line: "I had only one thought in my mind to stop the ball from going into the net, and in fact I cleared it before it hit the ground again, and I don't know exactly if it crossed the goal line the first time. ”
This explanation of the two Manchester United tigers reflects their sportsmanship, because they have already won, no matter what they say now, it is impossible to change the outcome of the game, and through the slow-motion replay of the live broadcast, fans all over the world can clearly see that the first time they landed, they did enter the goal line.
"Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur to reach the final after a terrible and clumsy misjudgment by the referee team"
"From a football practitioner's point of view, we would like to see Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur, even if it is in such an unfair way, but from a fan's point of view, I feel sorry for Tottenham Hotspur because they had the opportunity to achieve greater glory and even the great miracle of three consecutive titles
"Roberto Rossetti did what all the managers of football clubs in the world want to do, but the embarrassing thing is that he did it in the role of referee"
In all the reports on the second day, Tottenham Hotspur was completely played up and hyped as a tragic character, and everyone felt that Manchester United had won the game, and the media spared no effort to bombard Italian referee Roberto Rossetti who had such a bad misjudgment in the game.
Tottenham Hotspur officials gave an understanding of this, saying that head coach Ye Qiu had communicated with Roberto Rossetti after the game, and also accepted Roberto Rossetti's explanation, believing that this was a miscalculation, and Tottenham Hotspur would not appeal to UEFA on this matter.
Italian bald referee Collina, who has joined the European Disciplinary Committee, publicly praised Tottenham's approach, believing that if all football clubs were like Tottenham Hotspur and supported and considerate of the referee's work, then the referee would be under much less pressure, and in a virtuous circle, many misjudgments would not occur.
UEFA President Michel Platini also expressed his appreciation for Tottenham Hotspur, "You know that it is easy to beat an opponent on the football field, but it is difficult to convince people, including your opponents, and Tottenham Hotspur's attitude today reflects the demeanor of this team, which makes people feel admired." ”
But both Collina and Platini said in interviews that it was indeed a miscalculation, but they would not punish Roberto Rossetti for this.
"Everybody makes mistakes, doesn't they?"
In the case of such a major mistake, the talk about the introduction of Eagle Eye skills, or the bottom line referee is once again noisy, and many media and professionals believe that in the case of football games getting faster and faster, passing and receiving the ball is getting faster and faster, the referee is making more and more mistakes.
The referee is a single person, even if two linesmen are added, but it is obviously not enough to meet the needs of today's football game, after all, the football environment and rhythm of decades ago are almost different from the current football rhythm, and UEFA should also reconsider adding the help of the referee to reduce some unnecessary mistakes
Ye Qiu also supported these proposals, but he believed that the Eagle Eye technique used in tennis and other competitive matches would not be applicable to football, because in a football match, time does not stop, so the instant replay system is difficult to work because it will cause the football game to become very fragmented.
I believe that no manager in the world will want his game to be completed in fragments, unless it is in some game with a huge disparity between strength and weakness, and the manager of a weak team will be willing to accept it.
"I think we should consider adding referees, especially the baseline referees, and I think it's necessary because the pressure on the three referees is too great and they work too hard, because the distance traveled in a game is even close to 12 kilometers, which is not at all lost to the average distance of a professional player."
Ye Qiu is talking about the previous statistics about the Champions League and the Premier League, according to the data given by OpT under Moon Sports Services, the Premier League referee's running distance per game is almost l56l kilometers, while the average running distance of professional players per game is l593 kilometers, that is, the running distance between the two is very close.
Ferguson had previously bombarded the Premier League referees for not being professional enough, but from all indications, whether it is the Premier League referee or the Champions League referee, they have actually done their best.
Of course, some people may say that the referee does not need to defend or attack, but the problem is that the referee has even more switchbacks than the players, which is the biggest part of physical energy, and the referee must maintain a high level of mental concentration throughout the game, and even every penalty needs to be under pressure, and the players can be replaced, when has the referee ever changed?
This is also the reason why Ye Qiu chose to understand UEFA, on the one hand, the referee is indeed under a lot of pressure, and Ye Qiu does not want to continue to entangle on this issue, which will damage the good relationship that Tottenham Hotspur has finally established with UEFA; On the other hand, Ye Qiu also hopes to promote the reform of referees.
In response to Ye Qiu and the appeal from all walks of life in football, UEFA has finally made a statement, saying that it will conduct hearings and discussions on the introduction of bottom-line referees, but this will take some time.
