The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 347 Tonight, there are no miracles in Istanbul!

"Fabio, I decided to let you wear it to start tomorrow's final!"

This is what Ye Qiu said when he handed the captain's armband to Cannavaro when the team was getting familiar with the venue at Istanbul's Ataturk Stadium the day before the Champions League final. At that moment, he took it for granted. Captain's armband.

To be honest, for Cannavaro, who is the captain of the Italian national team, he is not too surprised to be the interim captain of Chelsea, and he is very indifferent, because he is used to it.

"You are a veteran player with rich game experience. I hope you can lead your teammates more in the game. I believe you know as well as I do how difficult it is for us to get to where we are today. We are far from creating History is only one last step away, we cannot lose, we must win!"

"We will encounter great difficulties in this game. Many players will not be able to participate in the game, and I will not be able to command from the sidelines, so I hope you will become the captain of the team and issue orders on the court on my behalf. I I believe you can lead the team to complete this game well and achieve a satisfactory result."

Cannavaro, who was standing in front of his team's penalty area at the Ataturk Stadium, reached out and touched the captain's armband on his arm. He turned his head involuntarily, and searched for the head coach in the chairman's stand, but he couldn't help it. There are too many, it is impossible for him to find Ye Qiu.

So very quickly, he turned his attention back to the game, he was hesitating.

He has a feeling that the team is pressing too high, which is not a good thing, because more loopholes will be left behind, and that old fox of Benitez has arranged for Cisse to be near here, the name Cisse What is the most powerful French striker?
speed!

What is Liverpool's sharpest attack?
Fight back!

That is to say, with Harvey Alonso behind him making a long pass and Cisse sprinting in front, Chelsea pressed forward to attack. Didn't they just hit the muzzle of Liverpool's counterattack?As long as Liverpool find an opportunity to pull the trigger at any time, Chelsea will be finished!
On the football field, fortune and misfortune always depend on each other. Cannavaro, who has rich game experience, understands this very well.

"Head, what should I do?" Cannavaro asked himself in his heart.

"I believe you can do well!" Ye Qiu patted him on the shoulder and said these words with great trust, which rang in Cannavaro's ears again, making him further strengthen his confidence.

"Guys, don't go up too much, come back a little!" Cannavaro shouted at his teammates in front of him.

"Don't fall into the trap of the Liverpool people, they are going to counterattack us, come back and keep a compact formation!"

Cannavaro's shout was quickly conveyed to the frontcourt, and all the players immediately woke up after hearing it. It turned out that they had unknowingly thrown away all the words that the head coach kept telling him before the game. Didn't the coach ask them to keep a tight formation at all times before the game?

But at this time, Chelsea made a mistake in passing the ball in the frontcourt. Joe Cole wanted to pass it to Rooney after getting the ball, but Harman supported Joe Cole with his body, broke the ball at Joe Cole's feet, and stabbed him. To nearby Xavi? Alonso.

Harvey Alonso turned around after getting the ball, and kicked lightly forward. Seeing Cisse raising his hand in front of him asking for the ball, he rushed forward quickly and grabbed the ball before Essien. He kicked the ball quickly. Kick forward.

The ball crossed a large area of ​​the pitch, crossed a beautiful parabola, and fell behind Chelsea's defense.

This placement is very ingenious, just between the defense line and the goalkeeper, and near the penalty spot, so that the goalkeeper dare not attack.

Cannavaro had noticed Cisse a long time ago. When Liverpool successfully intercepted the ball and wanted to counterattack, he immediately waved at Gallas, and he rushed forward immediately, almost gnashing his teeth, because he All of his physical energy has been completely exhausted in the nearly two hours of the previous game.

Now, the only thing keeping him going is his will, his strong will to win the game.

Finally, he jumped ahead of Cisse, jumped high, headed the ball, and pushed the ball out of the penalty area. When it landed again, he almost fell to the ground, but he still struggled to stand up .

But when he stood up, he saw that the ball still fell at the feet of the Liverpool players. Smicer passed it to Gerrard. After getting the ball, the latter quickly inserted it, obviously wanting to directly Kick off.

"Offside!" Cannavaro saw that it was too late to stop Gerrard's kick, and Cisse was obviously aiming at Cudicini, so he reacted immediately to set up an offside trap.

Chelsea's defense moved forward in a tacit understanding. Cisse was undoubtedly in an offside position, and he was blocked in front of goalkeeper Cudicini. Then Gerrard kicked directly. This time Cudicini Dicini didn't react because his vision was blocked by Cisse, and the ball crashed into the net.

"This should be a very obvious offside. Cisse interfered with the goalkeeper. The offside is very clear and undisputed. The linesman also raised the offside flag. We.." A goal gave a comment, thinking it should be an invalid goal.

But at this moment, the referee suddenly blew his whistle, signaling the ball to return to the midfield, and the goal is valid!

"What's going on? What's going on?" The on-site commentator was surprised.

The entire Ataturk Stadium was immediately blown up. Originally, Liverpool fans were regretting the offside, and Chelsea fans felt that the team had completed another defense, but suddenly, the referee signaled Goal valid?
"My God, the referee signaled that the goal was valid. What is going on? Didn't the linesman signal that Cisse was in an offside position? Why did the goal still count? Although Cisse was not directly involved in the attack, but He obviously interfered with the goalkeeper and blocked the goalkeeper's line of sight, which has already caused an offside in the new offside rules, an undisputed offside!"

Chelsea's players were also crazy, and they all surrounded the referee one by one.

"Sir, we are all very sure and certain that Cisse was in an offside position at that time, and the linesman also supported and agreed with our opinion, why did you rule that the goal is valid?" Cannavaro blocked the angry teammates , Negotiating with the referee is his duty as the captain of the team.

"Cisse did not directly participate in the offense. According to the new offside interpretation regulations, offside will not be caused!" The referee explained.

"But he obviously interfered with the goalkeeper's line of sight and affected the goalkeeper's judgment. According to the new offside rules, this is also considered an offside!" Cannavaro was a little excited. This was definitely an undisputed offside. The line referee has made a penalty, but the referee wants to overturn the line referee's judgment?
"I'm sorry, I don't think he interfered with the goalkeeper's sight!" Mehuto Gonzalez replied very positively.

This is indeed a very vague concept. If the referee stands at a certain angle, he can get the answer that Cisse interferes with the goalkeeper's sight, but if he stands at another angle, the situation may be different. The final right of interpretation lies in On the referee, Mehuto Gonzalez obviously believed his eyes.

"We cannot explain your answer, sir, at least the linesman was very sure that Cisse was offside and that he was running towards the goalkeeper, and you tell us that he did not interfere with the goalkeeper, which is certainly not a satisfactory answer! "Cannavaro felt unacceptable.

The introduction of the new offside rule itself is to encourage offense. A new interpretation of the offside rule is made. One of the most important points is that as long as it is defined by the referee as not directly participating in the game, or does not affect or interfere with the opposing player, and let the offside player If the offensive side benefits from it, it is not considered offside.

This actually gave the referee a lot of power, just like Cisse ran towards Cudicini just now, did he affect Cudicini's judgment and sight?Depending on the position of the referee, different conclusions may be drawn.

"From the slow-motion playback process, we can clearly see that Cisse was indeed offside, which is undisputed, and he was indeed standing between Cudicini and Gerrard, which affected Cudic Ni's line of sight, which should also be counted as offside, but the referee seemed to feel that Cisse had no effect on Cudicini."

New rules and interpretations are often accompanied by more controversy. This has already appeared in the European Cup, and it has also appeared in a series of UEFA Champions League matches in the past. Now, it also appeared in the UEFA Champions League final.

"This is definitely a misjudgment, indeed a misjudgment. Chelsea seem to be unable to accept the referee's penalty at all. Cudicini also chased the referee and said that he was influenced by Cisse, but the referee's opinion The attitude was very firm, and he also showed yellow cards to Cannavaro and Davis who took the lead in putting pressure on."

"There is not much time left in the game. This should be a goal that determines the outcome of the game, but unexpectedly, there has been such a huge controversy, which will definitely cause Chelsea's dissatisfaction after the game."

The referee was very firm in his judgment. He could not and could not make changes, so after warning the Chelsea players, he walked to the midfield and waited for the Chelsea players to come and kick off.

Chelsea was completely defeated by this goal!
The players shook their heads one by one on the court, looking depressed. They fought for two hours until their bodies were exhausted and their legs cramped. But in the end, they lost to such a very powerful player. The controversial goal, and it was still at the last moment, really made them feel unacceptable.

The Chelsea fans in the stands were also very dissatisfied. They booed the referee one by one, apparently complaining about his standard of enforcement in this game, thinking that this penalty was to murder Chelsea.

On the spot, some fans used graffiti to play cards, saying that the forces behind the referee wanted to murder Chelsea and prevent Chelsea from successfully defending the title. That's why such a controversial penalty appeared.

And this is obviously not the first time for Chelsea.

As early as in the semi-finals, there was already a lot of noise about the referee's over-indulgence in Porto. This directly caused 7 of Chelsea's main players to be unable to participate in the final due to injuries and yellow card suspensions, and the head coach Ye Qiu also Was sent to the stands.

Everyone originally thought that Chelsea was unlikely to win, but in the game, the Blues played very tenaciously, not even much inferior to Liverpool, especially as the game drew to a close, more and more people felt that the Blues played very tenaciously. The Red Army seems to have hope of beating Liverpool, as long as the game is dragged into a penalty shootout.

But who would have thought that at the last and most critical moment, the referee killed Chelsea and everyone's hopes with such an obviously controversial goal.

How the next game will go on, I believe many people don’t know, Chelsea players have been drained of strength and lost their fighting spirit, kicking the ball like walking dead, while Liverpool are wholeheartedly guarding their 1 :0.

Not long after, the whistle for the end of the game sounded at the Ataturk Stadium.

All the Chelsea players on the pitch were paralyzed on the pitch, looking extremely frustrated and disappointed.

They lost!Lost the epic quadruple!They also lost their hard work and persistence in the past season!
The most painful thing in life is when you think you see hope, but what you waited so hard for is despair!
Ye Qiu also sat back in the stands. This was undoubtedly the most painful loss of his coaching career, and he paid the most painful price, that is, the chance of him becoming a legend in one fell swoop was completely wiped out, and the next time the same I don't know when the opportunity is, and it may never appear again.

Even though he had mentally prepared for the result of the game before the game, but now, he still finds it difficult to accept.

"Chelsea's performance in this game is indeed unforgettable, even if they have many players absent, even if their head coach was sent to the stands, even if everyone thought before the game, they would have to wait for a miracle if they want to win, But they really came close to creating a miracle, but in the end, the referee's controversial call decided the outcome of the game."

"This night, there are no miracles in Istanbul!"

The UEFA bosses in the chairman's stand looked very excited, and they did have enough reasons to be excited, because at least Chelsea did not successfully defend their title, right?
Of course, you can also say that reaching the final is a victory, just like when Juventus reached the final for three consecutive years, even if they only won one championship, who can ignore the strength of Juventus?
But Ye Qiu was still not reconciled in his heart. If it was a real fight, and he lost, he would have nothing to say, but the fact is not like this. To curse!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye Qiu, you have to return to the locker room 15 minutes after the game!" Seeing Ye Qiu stand up, a UEFA employee beside him blocked the aisle in front of him, preventing him from returning to the locker room.

"Fuck you, are you blind? The game is over, why don't you block!" Ye Qiu directly pushed him away, and the man was caught off guard and fell on the seat, obviously knocked on the back His back hurt badly, but Ye Qiu didn't even shake him, and walked directly to the aisle of the stands.

Atatürk Stadium is full of cheering Liverpool fans and cheering Liverpool players everywhere. This place belongs to the winners, to the group of officials who smile as brightly as chrysanthemums, but not to He is Ye Qiu.

The game is over, the result is doomed, everything is over!

Ye Qiu sat on the elevator in the stands of the stadium and descended slowly. When he reached the ground floor, he entered the passageway of the dressing room. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw a Chelsea player leaning against the door of the dressing room, crying bitterly.

A group of strong old men who are usually strong are crying like girls now, not only those players who played the game, but also Fabregas and Messi who failed to play, also cried because The team has come to this day, and part of their credit is also in it, and they are also part of the team.

Of course, there are also strong people, such as Cannavaro, Davis, Heinze and other players. They are more mature and are comforting their teammates. Players such as Pade and Makelele, they all ran to find and comfort their teammates immediately.

Many people say that Franck Ribery is the most rascal and the most nonchalant, but now he is crying the most, like howling ghosts and wolves, tears keep falling, and can't be wiped off. The same goes for Rooney, who originally He thought that he would be able to help the team create a legend in the first season after joining Chelsea, but who could have imagined that the result was a failure.

Ye Qiu didn't go out, but leaned his back against the corner, raised his head, eyes red, listening to their cries and persuasion, he was also reflecting on himself, because the team has come to this day, and he has to take responsibility , even, as the head coach, he must bear the greatest responsibility.

The podium is being built outside. Liverpool players must be being interviewed by the media and reporters. They are heroes and winners. At this moment, no one will pay attention to Chelsea or the losers.

It was not until a long time later that the staff came in and informed Chelsea that the awards ceremony was about to begin, and as the runners-up, they had to go on stage to receive the runner-up's medal first.

Then Ye Qiu walked out of the corner, walked towards his players, did not speak, just walked all the way, hugged his players one by one, pushed open the door of the locker room with his own hands, turned around and told them, "Don't let people see the joke and say that we lost!" I'm sorry, we lose, and we have to lose like a man!"

With Ye Qiu present, the players seemed to have a backbone. One by one, they walked into the locker room, tidied up and calmed down, took a shower and changed clothes, and then returned to the Ataturk Stadium under Ye Qiu's leadership. When they saw them, all the Chelsea fans in the stadium sang the Chelsea team anthem, and the momentum even suppressed the Liverpool fans.

They are also part of the team, and they are using this way to tell their players that you will never walk alone!
