Chapter 404: Tang Jue's Counterattack!
The cause of this battle was Tang Jue's remarks at the airport, the Spanish media already had an opinion about him, and the proud British media thought that they had been humiliated, so the media of the two countries united to suppress him collectively.
Tang Jue cooperated very well to provoke the home fans after the goal, and in this way, the media of the two countries seized on this issue, made a big fuss, and launched a vigorous offensive.
Tang Jue did not give in, held a press conference, and launched a challenge. The media of the two countries confronted each other.
On April 27, UEFA announced that it had begun an investigation into Tang Jue's provocation of fans.
Shortly after the news was released, Maradona, who was far away in Argentina, supported Tang Jue across the sea: "Don's counterattack at Old Trafford is normal, he has done nothing wrong. He should not have been subject to additional penalties. ”
Professor Arsene Wenger believes United are making a big fuss, telling the media: "It happens a lot at the stadium and Manchester United should review their problems rather than putting the blame for the home defeat on Don. They should think hard about what they can do to beat Roma 7-1 but not Milan. ”
"Asking UEFA for additional penalties is chilling for United. It's not something a big family should do. ”
Professor Arsene Wenger is French, and he wants to support Tang Jue.
Rijkaard criticised Tang: "A star should be on the pitch to face the boos from the away fans, not to provoke the fans. Don's approach is irrational and immature. UEFA should punish such a player so that he can mature faster. ”
Barcelona were eliminated by Milan in the semi-finals last season, and Rijkaard had no problem with Don. This time he jumped at the chance. The attack on Tang Jue is to create an atmosphere that you are not welcome in the whole of Spain!
This damn guy to Real Madrid, Barcelona still has a good life?
Let's let him go to the Premier League!
……
The Italian media fought back. Milan TV did a special program: Should Don be subject to additional punishment?
The panelists at the meeting believed that it would be a conspiracy for UEFA to impose additional penalties, as this kind of thing is common in matches.
Milan legend Baresi said: "If UEFA has to punish Don, it means that they want the Premier League team to win this year's Champions League, which is obviously not right. ”
Nello Sconi's private broadcaster, Mediaset, aired a video of Milan stars visiting leukemia two weeks ago, highlighting Tang Jue's interaction with children with leukemia. They tried to use this form to save Tang Jue's image.
Vieira wanted to take the opportunity to crack down on Tang Jue, but when he found out about the Italian media and the French media. is so firmly on Tang Jue's side. In the end, I had to be silent.
The Spanish and British media sent a large number of reporters to Italy and France, hoping to dig up the negative news. But they were disappointed and dug nothing. In desperation, they brought the issue of Vieira's departure from the French team back to discussion. thinks that Tang Jue is completely suppressing dissidents. Sweep away the French team from the World Cup. Describe Tang Jue as a villain who can only play tricks.
A battle has begun. The media of the two countries are waiting for Tang to make a mistake. Then launch an onslaught.
……
On April 28, the 35th round of matches in Serie A, Milan challenged Torino away. For the second leg with Manchester United in four days. An Shuai put most of the main force on the bench, and Tang Jue got the start.
An Shuai said to Tang Jue before going on the court: "Tonight is your chance to fight back against them, I believe in you!" ”
After the game, Tang Jue seemed to go crazy and ran wild on the field, and he wanted to use the goal to counter the attacks from the media.
Although his teammates did not support him in front of the media, they supported him with practical actions. So, after the football was transferred to the front court, his teammates tried to create a shooting opportunity for him.
Tang could not waste the support of his teammates, scoring in the 12th, 19th, and 27th minutes of the first half. In just fifteen minutes, Tang Jue scored a hat trick.
Obviously, this was not enough, as soon as the second half began, Tang Jue snatched the ball from the feet of the opposing defender in a lightning flash, bypassed the opponent's goalkeeper, and scored the fourth goal.
In the eleventh minute of the second half, Tang Jue grabbed a point in front of the goal and expanded the number of goals to five. An Shuai replaced him two minutes later.
Milan beat Torino 7-0 away in this game. After the game, the Italian media shouted: "Five goals, Don is counterattacking the Spanish and British media with goals!" ”
Milan Sport said: "This is a powerful counterattack, and Don obviously wants to use this method to tell the British and Spanish media that since there is going to be a fight, then come!" ”
Torino Sport exclaimed: "Manchester United wait to meet Don's wrath!" ”
Tang Jue said to the media: "The prelude to the war has begun, I will stubbornly and resolutely fight back with goals!" ”
Scored five goals in one game, and in the face of Tang's strong counterattack, the British and Spanish media were collectively silent!
……
Milan's match with Torino will be followed by the second leg of the semi-final against Manchester United. The British and Spanish media are waiting for UEFA's notice of Tang Jue's punishment.
The last day of April, two days before the match between Milan and Manchester United, UEFA's penalty was announced: for Don's irrational behavior on the pitch, UEFA decided to impose a fine of 50,000 euros after research.
As soon as the penalty decision came out, Milan fans nodded their heads, believing that the penalty result was acceptable. Milan general manager Braida declared: "We accept this penalty decision. ”
"It's a fair result and we accept it calmly. ”
The British and Spanish media were very unhappy with the result, with the Guardian saying: "UEFA is deliberately biased in favour of Milan! ”
"We are quite unhappy with the result and, of course, UEFA has a good reason to do so, because Don has someone at UEFA. ”
Marca mapped Platini in shielding the Don, because they were both French.
The newspaper As, which expressed the same opinion, went further. directly called Platini's name and said: "UEFA wants to set Don as a banner for players, and Platini shields his compatriots and makes UEFA lose justice." ”
Platini, who was sitting in the office of UEFA headquarters at this time, looked at the reward of the newspaper and said to himself: "Of course I want to protect him, not only because he is the captain of the French team, but more importantly, football needs such a star." Do you think it will be easy to find such a person? ”
"However, shouldn't he be reminded to be a little more restrained? Headache ......"
……
On April 30, the 35th round of Serie A continued. Inter won 3-1 at home to visiting Empoli. Inter bit Milan to the death. The points gap between the two teams is still three points. There are three rounds left in Serie A, and the title race is not over yet.
May is upon us, the month that will decide the fate of European teams. La Liga Real Madrid came back from fifteen points behind. They are just two points away from Barcelona at the top of the table. Maybe they're going to work a miracle with Milan too. In the case of fifteen points behind. Won the last championship.
At the end of the season, some people praised Real Madrid: "They are a group of warriors who never give up, and they have accomplished a feat that shocked the world." ”
The first day of May. The second leg of the semi-final between Chelsea and Liverpool is just around the corner. Liverpool have no way back as they lost 1-0 at home in the first leg seven days ago.
Chelsea beat Liverpool 1-0 at home in the first leg, meaning they only need a draw in the second leg to progress. With Chelsea not conceding a goal at home, once a goal is scored on the road, Liverpool need three goals to turn the tables around, and it will be difficult for any opponent to find it three times in a game for Chelsea, who are known for their defensive solidity. It's fair to say that Chelsea have a clear head start in the race for promotion.
Liverpool, on the other hand, face a tough situation as they must beat the Blues by two goals to progress. In last season's Champions League knockout round, the Reds were eliminated by Benfica after losing 0:1 away, in fact, in the nearly 16-year history of the Champions League, the Reds have never made a comeback when they returned to home as long as they lost the first leg away. This time they faced an opponent who was known for their tenacity, Chelsea, and it was difficult for the Reds to change history.
Chelsea have no way back, and the Blues, who are dreaming of a quadruple victory, suffered a major blow last weekend: Chelsea are five points behind leaders Manchester United after being held to a 2-2 draw at home to Bolton Wanderers in the league, and with a clear goal difference, the chances of the Blues winning the title are slim to none, with three games remaining.
In this case, Chelsea, who are already somewhat tired, have shifted their number one target to the Champions League. In fact, after two consecutive Premier League titles, Chelsea's focus this season is on the Champions League, as evidenced by the fact that most of the substitutes were deployed in the last round of the Premier League. With the Champions League final just one step away, Chelsea must try to win the title.
Liverpool has long been empty this season, and the only hope of winning the Champions League is the Champions League, and Benitez has shifted his focus to the Champions League early. The Reds even lost to Portsmouth in the Premier League last weekend and are now fully focused on this game against Chelsea.
Benitez's two seasons at Liverpool, with the Reds winning titles, a Champions League and an FA Cup, will they come home empty-handed this year, or will they add another title? It was a decisive battle.
Chelsea and Liverpool have played each other for many years, and with both teams in a back-to-back situation, it is to some extent that determines the fighting spirit of the players.
Chelsea's morale has taken a toll on the morale of their players in the league that has taken a heavy hit, but it may have spurred them to make a difference in the Champions League, especially in the Premier League this season, where the Blues have suffered repeated injustices and are in a fairer Champions League where they can prove their worth in a fairer Champions League.
The Reds have been playing well in recent years, and the two titles of the past two years have been marked by reversals, especially at Anfield, which is known as the home of the devil, where Liverpool often have amazing performances and repeatedly destroy opponents with fighting spirit.
Moreover, Chelsea lost their main central defender Carvalho in this game, and the Portuguese defender is considered to be the backbone of Chelsea's backline, which will undoubtedly make Liverpool's attack more confident, however, the return of Chelsea midfielder Essien will also cause a lot of trouble for the Reds, and Liverpool will need a miraculous performance from captain Gerrard if they want to qualify.
At 7:45 p.m., Chelsea ushered in Liverpool's ferocious counterattack at Anfield, and Liverpool, who had no way out, launched a frantic attack on Chelsea at the beginning of the game.
In the 22nd minute of the first half, Liverpool captain and midfielder Steven Gerrard took a free kick from the left side and crossed the penalty area, and defender Ager hit the edge of the middle of the penalty area with his left foot and volleyed into the bottom left corner of the net. The goal also brought the two teams to 1-1 on aggregate and return to the same running line.
Since then, both sides have had a number of opportunities, but neither has taken them. At the end of the 90 minutes of the game, the aggregate score was still 1-1 and the game was forced to go to extra time. In extra time, the two teams still failed to change the score, and the game had to go to a brutal penalty shootout.
Unlike the close competition in the previous games, the penalty shootout was completely one-sided, and the Liverpool team with rich experience in the Champions League performed well, with Cenden, Alonso, Gerrard and Kuyt all hitting penalties in the first four rounds, while the team's goalkeeper Reina saved the penalties shot by Robben and Geremy respectively, so that Liverpool won the penalty shootout 4-1 and advanced to the final after eliminating Chelsea twice in three years.
……
Liverpool were the first to reach the final, with the second leg between Milan and Manchester United on the verge of a split. The British and Spanish media are waiting for this match, and they are looking for material to attack Tang Jue! (To be continued......)
