Chapter 31 - Injury with a Knife

The final score was 0:3, Atletico Madrid scored three goals at home, and Deportivo was not a perfect victory.

One side lost the game, while the other side lost a general Manuel. Even in the 4 minutes of stoppage time, both sides were full of anger, especially Nelson, who rushed forward without looking back. Hit anyone who stops him, as fearless as a calf.But Nelson played cleanly and did not make any harmful moves, so the referee just gave a warning and did not give a card.

Nelson's mood is not as simple as his footwork. The Portuguese boy who came on the field in the second half after a break in the first half felt that he had endless energy. When the referee was there, he smiled and expressed his innocence. It looks so vicious that it wants to go up and fight someone directly.

Both sides were full of anger, and all tactics and plans were left behind, which also made the stoppage time completely reduced to garbage time. After 4 minutes, the referee immediately blew his whistle to signal the end of the game. It was also a sigh of relief.

Although he made some mistakes at the beginning, which led to more fouls in the following games, relatively speaking, the game was carried on completely.

The work of the referee is far from over. After the game, he will call the line referee and the fourth official to have a meeting together, and make suggestions on the post-match report, and review the major events that happened on the field, just like Kos Although he was given a red card for his foul, it is still up to the judges to decide whether to add a suspension. The referees have to discuss it and make a proposal, and then let the La Liga committee make the final decision.

The players on both sides did not think as much as the referee. After the game, there was no verbal communication at all. Some of them just condemned each other with their eyes and even glared at each other.

At the same time, the Spanish team, even though Deportivo were relegated last season, still have Spanish players like Esami and Carlos who have played for Spanish national teams at all levels. The players have a very good personal relationship, but the general environment is such that the two sides just looked at each other and then smiled helplessly, and returned to the team.

This point is really a lesson learned from the past. Not long ago, Real Madrid’s captain Iker Casillas privately called Barcelona’s Spanish international in order to ease the atmosphere after the national derby, hoping to ease the atmosphere.This is understandable. After all, they are about to conduct the World Cup qualifiers. The interests of the club and the national team must be taken into account. As the captain of the national team, Casillas is obliged to maintain the harmony of the country in the locker room.But this incident was regarded as a betrayal by Mourinho, and he directly put Casillas, who was healthy and in good condition, on the bench, which directly detonated the tension in the Real Madrid locker room.

The players of Atletico Madrid and Deportivo do not want to repeat this incident, and naturally they will not take the initiative to provoke each other, especially when they completely tore their faces in the game just now.

However, the non-Spanish players in Deportivo are not so easy to talk about. When they walk into the player tunnel, they can restrain themselves and prevent people from being caught. The coded vocabulary emerged in an endless stream, and Vazquez walked aside to talk on the phone with the team doctor who had left early.

"Coach, how is the captain?" Clemens was wearing a pair of jersey shorts, his upper body was naked, and he wiped his hair with a towel, then walked up to Vazquez and asked.

Vazquez sighed and said: "The preliminary inspection is that this season is useless. I think our next games will be difficult."

Clemens' hands paused, then he put the towel over his shoulders, and turned around to find a new jersey to put on.

Vazquez let out a breath, put the phone away and said to Clemens, "Thomas, come with me to the press conference later."

Clemens responded, put on his jersey and left with Vazquez.

After they walked out, Nelson rubbed against Rich and whispered, "Is Thomas angry?"

Ricky and Nelson's positions overlap, but Nelson's temper is always pleasing, and he is selfless enough on the court. Ricky is very kind to him, and he is not pretending to listen to him now. Tsukuru couldn't hear it, but said, "How do you know? Thomas's face is always like a stone, whether angry or happy, it doesn't change."

Nelson blinked, then suddenly pointed to the front of Clemens' cabinet.

Rich probed his head and saw an empty mineral water bottle twisted into twists and thrown on the ground, leaving clear fingerprints on it. The poor water bottle was directly smashed into a small ball.

"I'm thinking now, if you didn't stop Thomas just now, and really let Thomas punch that old guy in the face, would his face become like this?" Nelson said with a smile, Young players don't feel the seriousness of the matter at all, but feel that it will be very enjoyable.

But Rich felt that he helped Clemens escape a red card and avoid at least a ten-game suspension.Probably the most correct thing he did all game.

Reporters from all walks of life gathered at the post-match press conference. This is the knockout match of the Copa del Rey, and the two sides are Atletico Madrid and Deportivo who have just tied the knot, which naturally attracts attention.

The team wants to win, the fans want to win, the passers-by want the game to be exciting, and the media is looking forward to the fight!The more intense the fight, the better!

Today, Costa's consecutive fouls and the last action of directly hitting Clemens' chest directly aroused the sensitive nerves of all reporters. They waited excitedly for Vazquez and Simeone to enter the field, looking forward to Seeing that the two head coaches can have a fierce battle on the spot, it is best to have a big fight or even a bloody head. If this is the case, there is absolutely no need to worry about the headlines tomorrow!

Simeone was the first to enter. He sat on a chair with a serious face, without any players or assistant coaches with him, and he seemed to be going to the meeting alone.

Vazquez was later than him. Manuel, who had been following Vazquez to attend the press conference, was not among them. Captain Laco, who lay down directly on the field, was receiving treatment to check for more serious injuries. Naturally, he could not hold up.It was Clemens who replaced Manuel to attend the press conference. In fact, Vazquez didn’t want to bring Clemens with him. After all, he was also a member of this accident and would definitely be chased by reporters. , but Clemens was selected as the man of the game, and Vazquez brought his own children.

But seeing the empty seats next to Simeone, Vazquez regretted it at the time.

Can you still play like this, is it too late for me to let my goalkeeper go back now...

Clemens didn't have so many worries. He tidied up his sportswear jacket and sat next to Vazquez. A pair of blue eyes looked at the reporters in the audience. Clemens, who was used to all kinds of flash lights, Once, without the slightest surprised expression, but calmly facing those shining cameras, he picked up the mineral water bottle and unscrewed the cap to take a sip.

However, before Clemens put down the bottle, he heard a reporter speak: "Thomas, what do you think of the conflict in the game?"

Clemens put down the mineral water bottle, looked at the reporter who stood up, didn't care which newspaper he belonged to, and directly pulled the microphone in front of him, saying: "The referee has made a fair penalty, I respect The opinion of the referee. If you ask my opinion, I can only tell you: I don’t like any violence on the pitch, Costa’s violation of the captain was completely malicious.”

Simeone has a serious expression on his face, and he also knows that Costa must not have brought his head up today. Although Simeone usually does not control the movements of Atletico Madrid players, after all, this style of playing will bring them victory, but this kind of natural The behavior of asking for a red card to end the game is no longer part of competitive sports, it is under the jurisdiction of the neurology department of the hospital.

But as the head coach, Simeone does not want Costa to be suspended.A red card will suspend one game. Costa is doomed to miss the next away game against Deportivo, but Simeone is still very optimistic about Atletico Madrid's promotion. Costa's suspension should not last too long. Long.So Simeone also pulled up the microphone, and his voice sounded a little cold: "I want to make a correction. Costa's foul was not subjective. He put his foot on his left foot when he got up, but at that time his back was facing Manchester United. Nuel couldn't detect Manuel's movements at all, so he stepped on it. As for his subsequent violation of Clemens, it was just Costa's impulsiveness. I will criticize him, but this is not a Conscious action, he is still young, it is normal for young people to be impulsive."

Your logic is so strong that I am speechless.

Vazquez crossed his shoulders and looked at Simeone sideways. The old coach had an expression of "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Anyone with long eyes can see that Costa's foul on Manuel is definitely malicious and vindictive, and it is aimed at the useless.If Manuel hadn't dodged for a while and didn't step on a key part, he might have been reimbursed for the next season sideways.Moreover, the subsequent push-up action was taken away by an understatement of "young people", and they were properly covered and indulged, but they turned a blind eye!

But the reporters all held their breaths and no one spoke. Only the reporter who held the microphone and asked the question had a serious expression, but his eyes flashed and said: "So, Coach Simeone, you don't think Costa's foul is a red card. action?"

Simeone is also a figure who has been in football for many years. Naturally, he will not be trapped by such an obvious trap of the reporter. He slightly frowned and said to the reporter: "Please understand what I mean, Mr. reporter, I agree with the red card. penalty, but I don't think Costa has the intention of fouling on purpose."

"My coach, Mr. Vazquez, once explained to me what is meant by the intention of actively fouling." Clemens said suddenly, leaning on the back of the chair, his expression calm and indifferent, without even a trace of angry blush on his face, but He said slowly in a slightly deep voice, "The nature of hurting someone unintentionally is different from that of hurting someone with a knife. Obviously, the Atletico Madrid striker is obviously the latter."

Simeone was the first to change his face. He had never heard anyone compare a foul to committing an attack with a knife. Even though he thought Costa had indeed committed some aggressive behavior, he didn't think it was necessary to use such a harsh tone. Deny and exclude.

In the final analysis, in Simeone's heart, victory is the most important thing in the football world, and appropriate means are just means. Suspension is already a very serious punishment.

But this seems very unreasonable to Clemens.

Clemens was close enough to see what Costa was doing.

Costa didn't mean to evade. He deliberately stepped on Manuel's ankle. Clemens is very aware of the fragility there. Er is going to be reimbursed.Clemens was able to help, but he couldn't understand why Costa was sent off instead of being picked up by officials.

Are the rules of foreign friends different from the ones I have seen before?

Vazquez coughed twice. This description was indeed what he said to Clemens. After all, Clemens was in a state of ignorance about many things on the court for a while, and Vazquez Automatically understand that this poor good boy left sequelae after his head hit the goal post, so Vazquez spent the shortest time teaching him all kinds of football knowledge he needs to know.

As for the foul, Vazquez absolutely did not want to have another embarrassing experience of the goalkeeper being sent off with a red card, so he said it very seriously, in order to prevent this situation from happening to Clemens.

But now that he said this, it directly detonated the reporters at the scene. The reporter who asked the question grabbed the microphone and refused to pass it on to others, and said directly: "Then Mr. Clemens thinks that Costa's foul action is like a murderer?"

Clemens looked over calmly, with a calm expression: "I didn't mention the word murderer. If you want me to give you an adjective, I think bastard is a good description."

Simeone's eyes widened at the side, and he didn't care whether the reporters below would take pictures of him, and stared straight at Clemens.

It's not a new thing for coaches to talk. The most popular coaches are the Premier League next door. There are many coaches who use their mouths to curse people invisible, and even use f and s directly at the press conference. The words at the beginning describe the coaching presence of the opposing female relative.And among those coaches who like to use scolding to start psychological warfare before and after the game, the most famous is the Red Devil Sir Alex Ferguson who has been rumored several times to retire but has not yet retired. What can compete with it is Arsenal's coach Arsene Wenger, who is called a professor, as long as he meets Ferguson, he can synchronize his skills every minute, and the switching of skill points is extremely smooth.

With the outbreak of this trend, some coaches in La Liga also began to learn psychological warfare, applying pressure before the game and spraying after the game. This method began to become popular after being found to be more and more effective, especially It was with the arrival of the magic bird Mourinho at the Bernabeu that the Spanish media fell in love with these head coaches more and more.

Only conflict can have sales, which is why they still stubbornly follow even if they are shattered by Mourinho's irony.

And now, these reporters have discovered that someone has already started the war in his place before the head coach started to complain.

This person is actually Clemens who has always been crowned as a good boy!

No one doubted Clemens' character and game quality. The entertainment reporters who had followed him were the best witnesses. Even the most pervasive reporters had to admit that Clemens was perfect as if there was no stain.

No bad habits, no girlfriend, no bars or nightclubs, and even a reporter who squatted outside Clemens' apartment broke down and said that this 19-year-old boy went to bed at nine o'clock!

Now whose children go to bed at nine o'clock, hey!You are an old man!

But now the good boy pointed directly at Costa's nose and said that he was going to be arrested, and that he was a jerk, which can be regarded as big news.

Even more eye-catching news than this foul!

Vazquez didn't want Clemens to directly face these wolf-like reporters. The old man who was eager to protect his disciples gritted his teeth and decided to direct the firepower to himself. He directly pulled the microphone and said with a serious face. : "Deportivo respects the referee's penalty. After all, this is football, and we all have to abide by the rules. Even if I think the style of play of some teams is really a jerk, I can't say it directly. After all, it will affect the interior of La Liga. unity."

... Didn't you just say it or not? Then what do you mean by saying it so blatantly?

This unremitting black man, Coach Vazquez, has a good temper!

At this moment, Simeone also knows that the two guys on the opposite side don't want to end peacefully at all. This kind of way of playing tricks is simply novel and emerges endlessly. They are comparing themselves one by one, this is it!

If I don't talk, do you think I'm a sick cat!

Simeone simply didn't care about any cover, he unbuttoned his suit jacket, then stared directly at Vazquez and asked, "I will appeal against your words."

Vazquez rolled his eyes. Compared with Simeone, a young man among the coaches, Vazquez, an old coach who has struggled a lot, is not afraid of this at all: "Coach Simeone, I'm not talking about you." , Deportivo is also going to appeal. Deportivo will apply to the committee to suspend Costa. I haven't figured out how many games. The victory belongs to Deportivo, Coach Simeone, I am looking forward to it When you come back to the Rizoya Stadium again, there will be a big and big cheer."

Are you kidding me?

cheer?Will those barbaric Deportivo people just overturn Atletico Madrid's team bus?

The Spanish reporter was about to burst into tears right now.

Every time I envy other British journalists, one or two have so much news every day that I don’t know what to write, and now we have this kind of treatment!Just pick out a word is a headline!

"Hello, Coach Vazquez, I would like to know what do you think of the score of this game? And what was written on the little notes you gave to the players during the game?"

Vazquez looked calm, crossed his slender fingers and put them on the table: "We have wasted many opportunities, but I believe that when the team no longer rearranges due to accidents, we will definitely get better results .As for that little note, it’s just a new formation drill, and we’re doing pretty well.”

Every reporter has an automatic translation machine in his head. The translation of this sentence means that if we only get three, then our performance is not good enough. If we perform well, there will be more than three.

Anyone who has watched the game knows that there is nothing wrong with this sentence. After one person was sent off, the situation of ten against eleven made Atletico Madrid completely passive. In the end, under the constant impact of Deportivo, their The defense was almost broken.If it weren't for the missed shot at the goal and the help of the home post, Atletico Madrid's result might have been even more tragic.

But the eyes of the reporters lit up, and they did not miss a single bit of the records they wrote.

But the reporters did not forget Clemens, and a female reporter raised her hand: "Can you comment on your opponent?"

Clemens pulled the microphone, his brows and eyes were cold and indifferent: "If he thinks scoring goals can reflect the value of a player, then I don't think he will score any more goals this season. The existence of this kind of behavior is harmful to football. It's humiliating."

No one took this sentence to heart.

Nonsense, if curses work, then why play?Wouldn't it be good to draw a circle at home every day and curse people to play?

But Clemens sat there with an indifferent expression after letting go of the microphone, his eyes watching the flashing flashlight, without saying a word.

No one would ignore the words of a half-immortal, any word.

I hope that Costa's next game will be more colorful.
