The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 581 God also apologized?
When the referee Roberto Rossetti blew the whistle for the end of the game, the whole Old Trafford stadium suddenly burst into deafening cheers, and almost all the Red Devils fans rushed out of their seats like crazy , crazily celebrating the team's victory, but this celebration definitely does not include their affirmation of the team's performance in this game.

0:0, Tottenham Hotspur finally failed to score at Old Trafford.

3:16, this is the comparison of the number of shots between the two sides in the whole game. According to international practice, the home team Manchester United is in front, and the visiting team Tottenham Hotspur is behind, and the number of shots on target is 1:5, Tottenham Hotspur There was also a beautiful effective goal in the first half that was blown off by the referee, otherwise the situation would be completely rewritten.

It can be said that, except for a period of time in the opening game, Manchester United was very passive throughout the game, especially in the second half, when Tottenham Hotspur almost desperately launched wave after wave of attacks on Manchester United. After 65 minutes, Ye Qiu even directly replaced Falcao to further strengthen the team's frontcourt scoring ability.

If Manchester United was able to fight Tottenham Hotspur evenly in the first half, then the situation in the second half was completely one-sided. Manchester United almost adopted an iron barrel defense to prevent Tottenham Hotspur from scoring. , And in the end, Ferguson's team kept the score 0:0 to the end.

Because the first round was 1:1, Tottenham Hotspur allowed Manchester United to score an away goal, so now Tottenham Hotspur is defeated by this away goal and eliminated from the Champions League.

This also made Tottenham Hotspur's captain Thiago Silva feel very annoyed. As soon as the whistle sounded at the end of the game, he sat on the turf and stared blankly at the front , watching Manchester United's players celebrating their promotion, and also looking at the disappointed eyes and expressions of their teammates.

Tottenham Hotspur's away goal was given to Manchester United by him. If he hadn't made a mistake in the clearance and directly turned the clearance into an assist and passed it to Sneijder, Rooney would not have scored, and now , It was his wonderful pass that sent Tottenham Hotspur directly to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

If it weren't for this wonderful pass, Tottenham Hotspur could reach the final and hope to complete the three consecutive Champions League titles.

"I am the team's sinner, and I should be responsible for the team's failure!" Thiago Silva cursed himself in his heart.

The teammates around them looked devastated. In the past two seasons, they have won almost everything. Whether in the Premier League or the Champions League, they are invincible. Any team that meets Tottenham Hotspur They would all feel terrified, but now, they lost, which made them all feel very uncomfortable and even depressed.

Turns out, losing feels so bad, we kind of forgot about it!

Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, silently watching the two completely different expressions on the field. Frankly speaking, Tottenham Hotspur made it to the semi-finals, and this result made him very satisfied. It was just that they lost in this way. He still feels stupid.

Tottenham Hotspur are in an adjustment stage this season, and being able to maintain their combat effectiveness in the Champions League has completed the task of his early-season booking, but the problem is that he and his team could have done better. Even won three consecutive championships, but now everything is disillusioned because of a misjudgment.

Who would be willing to accept such an ending?
But the problem is that the rules of the game in European football are like this, you can only accept it, unless you stop playing!
Those who dream of being able to change the world with their own hands are too young and naive, and only when they are no longer young and naive, will they suddenly look back and realize that they have been changed by the world up!

Ye Qiu can't change the current situation of 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, or Take it or leave it.

Of course, Ye Qiu was willing to believe that this was a misjudgment, but he couldn't stop others from making more conspiracy theories.

Perhaps, from now on, no one will say that Tottenham Hotspur is the personal favorite of UEFA President Michel Platini.

"Is there anything you want to say?" Ferguson came over. This time he didn't gloat. Maybe he knew that this time he was lucky, because the referee's misjudgment led to his success. And even in the second half, there was danger in front of Manchester United's goal. If it wasn't for Van der Sar's outstanding performance, he would have been finished long ago.

After Ye Qiu gave a wry smile, he shook his head, "Maybe I should care about you, can your heart take it?"

Ferguson laughed out loud after hearing this, he knew that Ye Qiu was mocking and teasing him, because he had a heart attack, and Manchester United's situation in the second half would definitely stop a heart attack patient's heart.

"Don't worry, my heart is not made of meat, but a machine!" Ferguson said with a smile.

As early as many years ago, Ferguson's heart was installed with a pacemaker to prevent his heart from stopping suddenly.

"No matter what, I still have to congratulate you!" Ye Qiu still showed his demeanor. If he loses the game, he can win it back in the future, but if he loses his demeanor, it will be difficult to make up for it.

To put it bluntly, misjudgment, which game has not been played?Whether it is intentional or unintentional, Tottenham can afford to lose and let go!
"But, old ghost, let me tell you, you eliminated us and entered the final, don't take advantage of that bastard Mourinho in the end, otherwise, I really won't let you go!" Ye Qiu clenched his fists, Ferguson cheered.

"Don't worry, after waiting for so many years, I finally got this opportunity, and I will not let it go!" Ferguson also assured him with confidence, because Inter Milan's cards this season are indeed not ideal. There are loopholes in both the position and the goalkeeper position. Mourinho can lead such an Inter Milan to the Champions League final. In addition to the luck of the draw, his coaching ability has also been fully reflected.

Ye Qiu patted Ferguson on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the player tunnel, because the Tottenham Hotspur players had already entered the player tunnel one after another and went back to the dressing room.

The visiting team’s locker room at Old Trafford, like all other stadiums, is very simple, obviously much simpler than the home team’s dressing room. This is also the conspiracy of all the teams playing at home, that is, they will do everything they can to block the visiting team. , among which the locker room is an inevitable link.

Of course, there are strict regulations on the facilities in the visiting team's locker room, so there will still be the necessary facilities.

Ye Qiu pushed open the door of the visiting team's locker room, and found that all the players were quietly sitting in front of their closets. The whole locker room was filled with frustration and disappointment. After all, they fought for a season, and everyone hoped I can have a better harvest and be able to win all the championships.

Sometimes Ye Qiu even thought, maybe in the past period of time, Tottenham Hotspur was too smooth, and a setback was actually not a big deal, maybe it could actually make the players' mentality become more Maturity brings the team's overall cohesion and combat effectiveness to a higher level.

"Okay, guys, forget about this game!" Ye Qiu walked into the locker room and closed the door behind his back.

All the players looked at Ye Qiu, but the gazes projected from each pair of eyes were obviously different. Some of them hoped to find hope from the head coach again, while others hoped that the head coach could help them get out of the game. The shadow of losing, and some feel ashamed and remorseful, feeling that they have failed the head coach's expectations.

"I am here, and I must apologize to everyone. The biggest responsibility for this loss is on me. It is my poor command. It is also because I have known that the team's lineup is not thick enough in the past, but I insisted on fighting on multiple lines. , which ultimately led to the team's defeat, 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 unquestionable. He is the god of Tottenham Hotspur, the most supreme god , no one can shake it.

But now, God also apologized?
"To be honest, I'm proud of everyone's performance, not only the progress and brilliance of the past few seasons, but also this season, I think your performance is unparalleled. You are the best and the best professional players in the world. I even think that no one is qualified to ask you to do more and better, because you are already pretty good!"

Ye Qiu's words were sincere, which obviously eased the atmosphere in the locker room.

"Losing is not a disaster. No team can guarantee that they will never lose, and no professional player can guarantee that they will always win. We should learn to accept failure and accept loss, because this is a real team. The performance that a mature and strong team should have!"

Ye Qiu's words made many players 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 forever here.

"I also want to say that I am very proud to have such outstanding players as you. We are a young team. We are still developing and improving at a high speed. We will not just be satisfied with what we have in the past. For the honors we have received and all the achievements we have made, we will continue to strive for more honors and higher achievements!"

"As I have said before, on this road to success, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and all Tottenham Hotspur fans, will not forget any of you , will never forget any drop of sweat you have shed for Tottenham Hotspur."

"I can assure and promise everyone that over the next three years we will build a better and better Tottenham team than we are now, better than we have been, and you, all of you here, you belong to me and the management It is a very important part of the plan, so don't lose confidence in yourself, your teammates, and the team just because of a loss!"

Ye Qiu didn't say anything at the end, but just clenched his fists and shook them as a sign of encouragement.

The news that Tottenham Hotspur was eliminated from the Champions League by Manchester United immediately became the headlines of the major European media the next day. Nam Tottenham fought unfairly, 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 had indeed crossed the goal line, but because it all happened in an instant, the referee didn't see it clearly. Many Manchester United players can't see what's going on.

In fact, what Van der Sar said is what often happens on the football field, that is, no one can guarantee that they have seen what happened, or that they have seen everything clearly, but they still choose to rush forward exert pressure.

This is a game strategy on the football field!

Ferdinand said that he didn't see clearly whether it had crossed the goal line. "I only had one thought in my mind at the time, to prevent the ball from entering the goal. In fact, I cleared it before it landed again. And I don't see very clearly whether it crossed the goal line the first time it hit the ground."

The explanation of the two Tigers of Manchester United reflects their sportsmanship, because they have won, no matter what they say now, it is impossible to change the result of the game, and through the slow motion playback of the live broadcast, fans all over the world can watch It was clearly seen that when it landed for the first time, it did enter the goal line.

"Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur and made it to the final after a bad and botched miscalculation by the referees!"

"From the perspective of football practitioners, we hope to see Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur, even in this unfair way, but from the perspective of a fan, I am proud of Tottenham Hotspur. It's a pity, because they had the opportunity to create higher brilliance, and even staged the great miracle of three consecutive championships!"

"Roberto Rossetti did what the head coaches of all football clubs in the world wish to do, but embarrassingly, he did it with the role of the referee!"

Among all the reports on the second day, Tottenham Hotspur was completely exaggerated and hyped as a tragic role, and everyone felt that Manchester United was invincible. The referee Roberto Rossetti and the media spared no effort to bombard him.

The Tottenham Hotspur official gave an understanding of this, saying that the head coach Ye Qiu had communicated with Roberto Rossetti after the game, and also accepted Roberto Rossetti's proposal. Explain that this is a misjudgment, and Tottenham Hotspur will not appeal to UEFA on this matter.

The Italian bald referee Collina, who has entered the European Disciplinary Committee, publicly admired Tottenham Hotspur's approach, thinking that if all football clubs are like Tottenham Hotspur, they will support and encourage the referee's work. If you are considerate, then the pressure on the referee will be much less, and under a virtuous circle, many misjudgments will not occur.

UEFA President Platini also expressed his appreciation for Tottenham Hotspur, "You know, it's easy to beat an opponent on the football field, but it's hard to convince people, including your opponent. It is difficult, but the attitude of Tottenham Hotspur today reflects the demeanor of this team, which is admirable."

But both Collina and Platini said in an interview that this was indeed a misjudgment, but they will not punish Roberto Rossetti for this.

"Everyone makes mistakes, don't they?"

In the case of such a major mistake, discussions about the introduction of Hawkeye technology or bottom-line referees are raging again. Many media and professionals believe that the pace of football games is getting faster and faster, and the passing and receiving of the ball is getting faster and faster. Under the circumstances, the referee made more and more mistakes.

The referee is one person, even with two line referees, but it is obviously unable to meet the needs of the current football game. After all, the football environment and rhythm decades ago are almost completely different from the current football rhythm. And UEFA should also reconsider increasing the referee's assistance to reduce some unnecessary mistakes.

Ye Qiu also supports these proposals, but he believes that the Hawkeye technology used in tennis games and other competitive games cannot be applied to football, because in a football game, time does not stop, so the instant replay system is difficult. Come into play because it will lead to a very fragmented football game.

I believe that no head coach in the world would want his game to be completed in fragments, unless it is in some games with great disparity between strength and weakness, the head coach of a weak team will be willing to accept it.

"I think we should consider adding more referees, especially bottom-line referees. I think this is very necessary, because the pressure on the current three referee group is too great, and they work too hard, because the running distance of a game can even be calculated. It’s close to [-] kilometers, which is not at all inferior to the average running distance of professional players.”

What Ye Qiu was talking about was the previous statistical data about the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League. According to the data given by OPTA, a subsidiary of Moon Sports Services, the running distance of the Premier League referees in each game is almost 11 kilometers. The average running distance of the players is 561 kilometers, that is to say, the running distance between the two is very close.

Ferguson had bombarded the Premier League referees as unprofessional before, but from all indications, both the Premier League referees and the Champions League referees actually tried 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 runs even more than the players. With a high degree of concentration, even every penalty needs to be under pressure, and players can be substituted. When did the referee change?

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. Ye Qiu does not want to continue to entangle on this issue. This will damage Tottenham Hotspur's hard-won relationship with UEFA. On the other hand, Ye Qiu also hopes to promote the referee reform.

In response to the appeal of Ye Qiu and 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.
