"Champions League semi-finals Serie A civil war, the protagonist is the Spaniards! 》

It was the headline on the front page of the newspaper Sport the next morning, and it was all the more striking after the editors made the words bold and bold.

This comment from the Milan Sport newspaper speaks to the hearts of the vast majority of fans who believe that what should have been a classic match between Fiorentina and Juventus was all messed up by referee Flores.

The Spaniard's performance in the first half was remarkable, but in the second half it began to be revealed, and it was not wrong to stare at Montero, who had been suspected of malicious fouls, but it was indeed his major mistake to blow away an undisputed goal from the Uruguayan, and in order to make up for this mistake, Flores balanced the home team after Montero went off the field, and blew it off again near the end of the game, and at the same time did not give a reasonable explanation under Eeffenberg's questioning, Instead, he showed a yellow card to the Germans for no reason!

Flores' unreasonable approach completely intensified the conflict between him and the Fiorentina players, and the Spanish referee did not calm the opponent's dissatisfaction well after that, not only did he not plan to calm down, but also sent a yellow card on the side to brush his presence, which played a role in adding fuel to the fire.

The result of Flores's doing this is that not only the Fiorentina players who felt wronged before, but even the Juventus players began to be dissatisfied in their hearts, saying that we just came forward to protect you, and you actually gave us a yellow card? Brains in water, right?

It is precisely for this reason that in the zuihou stage of the game, the players of both sides almost rushed up and beat the Spaniard with his head in water, if it were not for the experienced Deschamps and Effenberg who saw that the momentum was not right and shouted at the same time to calm the field, I am afraid that Flores would have become the first referee to be beaten in the Champions League.

Although he escaped being beaten up, when Flores left the stadium after the game, there was a deafening boo from the stands at the Stade Alp, and both Fiorentina and Juventus fans expressed their displeasure with the dominating referee.

Fans of both teams saw very clearly that although the game would have ended in a draw without the referee's intervention, it is estimated that no one will be in the mood to consider this possibility if such a mouse as Flores messes up the game. At the same time, because the referee personally jumped out to attract hatred, it was rare for fans on both sides not to fire at the opposite side after the game, but to focus the fire on the referee with the muzzle of the gun.

"Flores is a thief! His nonsense has ruined a classic game! Stole the victory that should have belonged to Florence! It was the slogan that Fiorentina fans shouted after the game.

Juventus fans were not to be outdone, and said in interviews that if the referee hadn't favored Fiorentina at the beginning of the second half, Montero's goal would have given the Bianconeri the lead at home.

Fiorentina and Juventus also submitted official written submissions to UEFA after the game, demanding that UEFA give a clear account of Flores' stupid decision in the Champions League semi-finals.

Caught between the two clubs, UEFA is also in a dilemma, as the two teams are not at fault in the game other than the referee's clash. Regardless, Flores is the culprit who caused all of this to happen.

Two glaring miscalculations and a ton of yellow cards, that's what Flores contributed to this game.

The UEFA officials were also hesitant to deal with the situation in this game, and at first the group of officials planned to contact the two clubs so that the two parties would not make any more trouble. However, when their chairman, Mr. Johansson, made it clear in an internal meeting that he would strengthen the quality training of referees for this special group in the future, and try to prevent the recurrence of the semi-final at the Alp Stadium, the wind immediately took a 180-degree turn, turning from a big thing to a small matter, and suddenly it became a severe punishment for the amateur referee Flores, and sounded a wake-up call for all referees under UEFA.

"Tsk, this is finally a small benefit to the Florentine side, otherwise it would not be a problem for those favors to be dragged on like this before." The old man Johansson, who came out of the conference room, wiped the sweat oozing from his head and thought to himself, "Boy Corleone, your Florence is blessed. This time, if I hadn't gone out in person, even if it was really the referee who blew the whistle on the field, UEFA would never have slapped itself in the face and punished a referee. ”

In this way, under Johansson's personal intervention and instructions, UEFA quickly handed down the verdict on Fiorentina's away match against Juventus, and the result was as follows:

1. The score of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals between Fiorentina and Juventus is valid and there will be no replay;

2. The referee of the match, Flores, made a series of major mistakes in the game and had an irreversible and serious impact on the outcome of the game, so UEFA decided to impose a two-month ban on Flores, prohibiting him from officiating any football match in Europe during this period of time, and a fine of US$10,000;

3. The yellow cards received by several players before and after the clash in the game, namely Fiorentina's Effenberg, Stam, Toldo, Di Biagio and Carlos, and Juventus' Didier Deschamps and Iuliano, all of whom received this yellow card in the game.

Flores' refereeing career ended there, as the referee's future was completely ruined in the semi-final between Fiorentina and Juventus. At the same time, after the game, he received a lot of abusive emails from fans of both teams, which made Flores's mood very depressed, in his opinion, the referee on the field is the boss, no matter what kind of decision is made, the players should not have objections.

Therefore, when Flores learned of the UEFA verdict, the next day he published a news in the newspaper, announcing that he had decided to officially retire from the refereeing profession for some sad reasons.

After learning of Flores' retirement, Zhuang Mingge did not show any sympathy for the Spaniard, who in his opinion could be said to be entirely self-inflicted. The biggest role of the referee is to ensure the fairness and fluency of the game, and the Spaniard treats the game as his own backyard and acts recklessly, of course, the fewer such referees, the better.

Although the referee is also a human being, and the old saying also says that a person is not a saint or a sage, not all misjudgments in the game can be perfunctory with a light sentence. Only by putting a sword of Damocles on the top of the referees' heads, so that they can be more rational when making major decisions and not affected by other non-game factors, can football games be more beautiful and exciting!
