Chapter 203 The Lopera Tragedy
After breaking into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Valencia and Milan were drawn into a group in the UEFA draw ceremony.
They will start the first round on April 8, and the winner of the two rounds will advance to the semi-finals.
Valencia reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League and in the league their unbeaten streak continued...
After defeating Athletic Bilbao in the away game, they won the 64th consecutive game unbeaten.
Even if it is Athletic Bilbao's home court, San Mames can't stop Valencia. They paid the price of Villa's injury and finally took a victory.
It seems that no one can stop them.
The entire La Liga league will be swept away by them.
The direction of media opinion is also gradually changing.
At the beginning, they were all concerned about Valencia's undefeated. Now they start to pay attention to when Valencia will lose. Some people are already getting tired of Valencia's unbeaten streak.
Complaining about turning on the newspapers, TV and radio, all you see and hear is that Valencia has won again, Valencia is undefeated again... Such news is really disgusting...
Chang Sheng was right when he said that the undefeated streak is the glory of Valencia, but for the supporters of other La Liga teams, this is not worth being happy at all.
Many people even hope that Valencia will lose quickly.
Under such circumstances, in the twenty-seventh round of the league, Valencia played against the Espanyol at home. Except for the Valencia fans, other fans were cheering for the Espanyol.
But even so, Valencia still won a 2:1.
※※※
The twenty-eighth round of the league. Valencia will go to the Lopera Stadium to challenge Real Betis. Although it is an away game, everyone thinks that there is not much suspense in this game.
Including Valencia herself.
The score was 0:0 in the first half, neither side scored.
From the looks of it, this is another undefeated game.
But entering the second half, the game began to change suddenly.
First of all, Vicente was injured while fighting with Betis players, unable to persist in the game, and was directly carried off by a stretcher.
Chang Sheng had no choice but to send Reyes.
It is normal for players to be injured. What makes Chang Sheng unhappy is that the Real Betis player David Rivas who caused Vicente's injury did not receive any punishment.
In his opinion, the referee should at least give Rivas a yellow card.
But no.
The referee did nothing, not even a verbal warning.
Valencia players went up to protest. They were blocked by the referee.
This caused dissatisfaction among the Valencia players.
But they still continue to play. After all, the quality of professional players requires them. On the court, the game is the most important thing.
But what happened next made them really calm...
In the 65th minute, Alfonso Perez of Real Betis received the ball in the penalty area and scored! But the ball was offside before Alfonso Perez scored!
Carvalho raised his hand to signal Alfonso Perez was offside.
The other Valencia players also thought Alfonso was offside, so no one rushed back to defend, allowing Alfonso Perez to score easily without marking.
Even Canizares didn't make any saves, and followed Carvalho to raise his hand to signal the opponent was offside.
They are all so determined. It's because Alfonso Perez's offside was too obvious - a full body position, nearly one meter!
Such an obvious offside kick. Still need to defend? The referee must have ruled the goal invalid!
But things did not continue to develop as they had imagined...
※※※
When Chang Sheng saw Alfonso Perez shoot the football in, he was still thinking that if he traveled back to the previous era, he would get a proper yellow card! After the referee whistled and continued to touch the ball, it is definitely a yellow card!
Alfonso Perez was still celebrating the goal. Seeing him like that, Chang Sheng couldn't help shouting: "Stop celebrating, you are fucking offside!"
Then he heard the referee's whistle.
But instead of the whistle for offside, the referee ran into the penalty area and pointed his finger at... the middle circle!
The goal is valid!
This is the goal valid!
Chang Sheng was taken aback. Hastily went to see the lineman again. The linesman did not raise the flag to signal offside, but ran to the center line! This also means that the goal is valid!
what happened?
Isn't it offside?
How to score effective?
※※※
Not to mention winning often, even the Valencia players were stunned.
Especially those on the defensive line, they arranged this offside by themselves, and they are very clear about the effect. Alfonso Perez jumped a full body when Carvalho slammed forward. This is absolutely offside!
But why didn't the referee call offside? Instead, blowing the goal is effective?
Carvalho still raised his arm, but it looked so funny at this time...
Captain Albelda ran back quickly and signaled to the referee that it must have been offside just now.
But the referee did not intend to change his decision, he pointed to the middle circle unswervingly. Indicates that the goal is valid!
Then he began to fumble in his pocket, and soon he took out a yellow card!
Not only was Real Betis's goal valid, he also gave the protesting Albelda a yellow card!
※※※
"Goal!! Alfonso Pérez!! Eh? But it seems something is different... ah, it's Valencia, they are offside before Alfonso Pérez scores! Let's Check out the slow motion replay..."
"Ouch... Alfonso Perez did cross half a body before receiving the ball. The ball is indeed offside... This is really an offside... The referee made a misjudgment. Neither he nor the linesman looked at it. come out……"
"Valencia has died unjustly now, and the opponent's offside kick was effective... They surrounded the referee and asked him to argue. But the referee did not change his decision. Instead, he gave Albelda, who came up to protest. A yellow card! Looking at the expression on Albelda's face, he himself finds it very funny..."
"The situation of the game changed suddenly! Just when Valencia was going to storm and take the lead, there was such an unexpected situation on the field! A controversial goal of Real Betis was ruled valid! For Valencia, It couldn't be worse!"
※※※
Chang Sheng, who reacted off the field, became angry. He yelled at the referee: "This is definitely not a good goal! He is offside! Alfonso Perez is offside!"
It's a pity that the referee couldn't hear him yelling like that, and it was impossible for the referee to change his mind.
The referee insisted on his penalty and waved to disperse the Valencia players who came up.
Seeing that the referee insisted on the penalty, he gave the captain a yellow card. The disappointed and angry Valencia players couldn't control their emotions.
Some players ran to besiege the linesman, while others continued to besiege the referee.
Baraja ran to question the first assistant referee, that is, the line referee here. It should be the job of the assistant referee to judge whether the goal just now was offside. But he didn't raise the flag at the time, which means he thought the goal was okay, and then the referee adopted his judgment.
"It's definitely not an offside! Keep your eyes open! Don't you see it? Such an obvious offside ball! Don't you see it? You are a lineman, your eyes grow to the top of your head! "
Baraja scolded the linesman.
The stern-faced line referee didn't talk nonsense with him, but just called the referee through the walkie-talkie.
The referee Andredo. Garcia ran over. The two referees gathered together and whispered for a while. The linesman also pointed at Baraja.
Baraja continued to shout: "What else do you have to say? This is an offside! You made a wrong call! You are not worthy of being a referee at all!"
The referee patted the line referee on the shoulder, then ran back, and issued a... red card to Baraja who continued to roar!
※※※
"Ah... red card! Baraja was sent off with a red card! He was sent off by the referee for attacking the linesman..." Morn shouted loudly.
Chang Sheng's eyes turned red when he saw the red card held high in the referee's hand.
The offside ball before the contact was ruled valid, and he suddenly realized something.
He shouted at the fourth official: "Your referee is out of his mind!" He pointed to his temple.
The fourth official came over and warned him: "Please watch your words!"
Chang Sheng spread his hands, shrugged and said: "Isn't it? This is obviously an offside, and he can make it valid... Oh, I was wrong. He not only has brain problems, but also has problems with his eyes. Didn't see it, right? He didn't even see such an obvious offside!"
Bickering, the fourth official really can't beat Chang Sheng, who was a former professional scolding fighter in the forum, but he has a way.
So he called the referee down through the walkie-talkie.
The referee Andredo Garcia pushed aside the Valencia players who were besieging him, and ran to Chang Sheng.
"You need to be responsible for what you said just now, Mr. Chang." The black-clothed judge pointed at Chang Sheng with a righteous face and said sharply, as if sacred and inviolable.
Ever since he attacked the referee, Chang Sheng already knew his end.
But he doesn't care about that much. At this time, he just wants to scold people: "Of course I can be responsible for my own words. But do you dare to be responsible for your penalty, Mr. Referee? That ball is obviously offside. How dare you You can make such a rubbish penalty, do you dare to take responsibility? Do you dare to touch your conscience and say that your penalty is fine?! Do you dare?!! You still have the face to send off my player? You despicable and shameless Robber! Garbage!"
In terms of lip service, neither the referee nor the fourth official is a winning opponent.
And he won't confront Chang Sheng head-on on this issue...
So the referee also chose a fighting style that suits him - he pointed to the stands and said to Chang Sheng: "Now, please go up!"
Chang Sheng was also sent off with a red card!
Chang Sheng looked at the referee's gesture, and then laughed. While laughing, he applauded the referee.
This is blatant irony.
He applauded and walked off the field.
The fourth official said to him behind him: "I will write what you did in the game report, Mr. Chang!"
Chang Sheng didn't turn his head back: "Fucking you!"
"This sentence will do!"
Without looking back, Chang Sheng walked straight to the player tunnel.
※※※
In just one minute, the offside ball was called valid, the captain who protested was yellow carded, Baraja who questioned was sent off with a red card, and then the referee was also sent off with a red card.
The referee Andredo Garcia's series of thunderous methods did not deter the violent hearts of the Valencia players, but aroused their even greater anger.
They now believe that this is for the referee to target them!
When the referee returned to the field, the Valencia players were not frightened by the two consecutive red cards, and they continued to besiege the referee.
Don't let the other party come up with an explanation.
But how could the referee say anything?
He just knows how to play cards.
So the team's second captain Canizares also received a yellow card.
Angulo and Deco both received yellow cards during the protest.
Even Moen felt that it was a bit too much, and made a sarcasm: "Andredo Garcia looks like a professional dealer in a casino, and he deals cards skillfully, elegantly and quickly!"
Seeing that the referee only knew how to deal cards and drive them away, the Valencia players were furious.
Anxious Carvalho imitated his coach and also made a gesture of applauding the referee.
The referee took out the red card from his pocket without hesitation, and was about to play the card... In the end, Carvalho snatched it and showed the red card to the referee first!
The Portuguese central defender expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee in this way.
But he could not escape the fate of being sent off by a red card.
Carvalho threw the red card on the referee after playing the cards, and he cursed: "You son of a bitch!"
Then he turned and walked off the court - he already knew his fate.
Sure enough, the referee picked up the red card behind him and held it up high.
But who cares about that...
※※※
When Chang Sheng saw Carvalho was also sent off at the passage, he sneered.
Then he stretched out his hand towards Carvalho, just like a usual substitution, welcoming a hero who has returned in triumph.
He held Carvalho's hand, patted his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Go take a shower, Ricardo."
He used this action to express his support for Carvalho.
After sending Carvalho away, he continued to stand at the entrance of the passage, looking coldly at the court.
The messy scene made the sneer on his face more intense and colder.
