long live football

After the game, the first reaction of the reporters in the media area of ​​Camp Nou was to look for Cruyff, but when they pointed the camera at the chairman's box, they found that the godfather of Barcelona had left the box at some point Inside disappeared.

It doesn't matter if Cruyff can't be found. Reporters from all over the world exchanged a tacit look. Anyway, this game has a lot to write about.

The post-match press conference was as lively as everyone expected.

Barcelona was bloodbathed 0:5 at home, Cruyff left the field early for "unexplained reasons", whether the referee was fair in law enforcement or made frequent misjudgments, the coach of the Lions was sent to the stands, no matter what happened in the middle Talk about a big show.

Perhaps it is clear that the media is likely to fire at himself and Barcelona at the press conference. Rijkaard, who has already confirmed that he will leave the team next season, does not want to get into too much trouble, so he ignores many The reporter asked tricky questions, and just talked about some things related to the game: "I am mentally prepared for this failure." The Dutch coach held the microphone, turning a blind eye to the noisy scenes in the venue, He said very calmly: "At around ten o'clock last night, I received a call from the club's scout. He said that 1860 Munich was still training on the field at that time. At that time, I already had a bad feeling, because at that time Barcelona The players are either asleep, or chatting and playing on their phones in the room, as far as the preparations before the game are concerned, our preparations are not as good as those of Munich 1860..."

After self-examination, Rijkaard directly signaled to the press officer that he had finished speaking, and then ignored the reporters' persuasion, he stood up and opened the small door next to the rostrum and walked out.

Then Carl came on stage.

As the most topical figure in the game, the head coach of Munich 1860 looked very good at this time, and his mood was not affected by being sent to the stands in the middle of the game-the reason why the media present judged this way was because when there was a The quick-mouthed reporter blurted out, "How did you feel sitting in the stands watching your team play for the first time?"

The Lions coach replied: "The life of a coach who has not been punished to stand in the stands is not a complete life. Now I think I am finally complete."

Such a self-deprecating answer naturally won the hearts of most people present, not to mention the charming smile that followed.

Hundreds of cameras sounded the shutter at the same time, and the flashes were connected together, and the people who illuminated the already bright hall could barely keep their eyes open.

……

The five-goal massacre of Barcelona at home in Munich 1860 really became the focus of media reports after the game. Various new materials emerged one after another, and they were still occupying the pages of major newspapers until two days before the start of the second round.

There are four main points of focus: Did Karl Oston offend the referee before he was sent to the stands?

Why is the referee's law enforcement so brain-twitching?

How will UEFA react to this matter?

Does Barcelona have a godfather?

Media such as "Marca", "Aspen", "The Times", "Sun", "French Football", "Gazzetta dello Sport", "Bild", "Munich Daily", "Ball" and other media cooperated with TV stations from various countries to stage a vigorous show "Into the Nou Camp" European football large-scale exploration program.

The first is the reason why Karl was sent to the stands.

Stark, the referee who enforced the game, was also chased by the media after the game. He refused to accept interviews at first, but when many reporters around him pointed at his nose and reprimanded him for "blowing the home whistle" At that time, the UEFA referee finally couldn't stand it anymore. He sternly shouted into the microphone: "If Munich 1860 has any dissatisfaction, you can appeal to UEFA. It's not your turn to speak for others! I The reason why Auston was sent to the stands was because he was dictating too much on the court, and he also intended to violate my authority as the referee, which seriously disrupted the order of the game!"

It is not uncommon for the head coach to be "invited to the stand" by the referee during the game. Ferguson and Mourinho are often called out by the head referee because of their hot behavior when coaching on the spot, but the Lions coach will be like these two people Talking harshly at Stark violated him... Sorry, not many people really believe that.

Was Stark telling the truth?The media with doubts will naturally find the answer by themselves.

For such an important event as the UEFA Champions League semi-final, there must be a lot of cameras placed in the stadium, even the small lanes outside the baseline and between the stands are always facing the camera, not to mention the side of the stadium that attracts everyone's attention. The media quickly found out I found the lip-shape picture of Carl and Stark's arguing, together with Stark's lip-shape, as long as I can find another lip language expert, I can completely restore all the conversations between the two at that time.

Lip experts are also easy to find.Many football programs like Spain and England maintain a fixed relationship with them. Players or coaches often have some whispers during the game. When these pictures are broadcast on TV, the fans often feel itchy. If you want to know what the stars said and can’t do anything, lip language experts will come in handy at this time. One of the favorites of many media is to invite experts to interpret the various mouth shapes of stars in the game after the game, and see how they all interact with each other. What was said, and because of this, many wealthy coaches will now specifically tell the players before the game: If you need to talk during the game, you must cover your mouth first.

Soon, all the conversations between Carl and Stark were deciphered by lip experts, and printed and published in major newspapers.

Many fans wanted to say "yuck" to Stark when they were reading newspapers or TV shows: "Auston violated you? Hehe, you are aggressive and want to violate Auston, right?"

"The Sun" also commented quite sarcastically: "Auston once said such a sentence in the post-match press conference, 'Abidal's foul is as big and obvious as a house, but Mr. Stark Just pretending not to see' The author thinks his irony is very correct, it is obvious that Mr. Stark does not have bad eyesight, but a ghost in his heart."

What happened between Carl and Stark was investigated by the media with great powers. Whether Abidal fouled Portillo during the game or not, after the slow-motion playback and replays over and over again after the game. Analysis, and there is no controversy anymore. Stark did have a relatively obvious misjudgment when he was law enforcement in the game, more than once.

Then the media fans are curious: how will UEFA solve this matter?

In fact, right after the game ended, 1860 Munich appealed to UEFA. They hoped that UEFA could re-examine the various problems that occurred in the game, such as re-issued a red card to Arneka, and the punishment was obviously wrong. The referee who judges the conduct, etc.

However, on the second day of Munich 1860's appeal, UEFA came forward to defend Stark: "The "Football Competition Rules" have long stipulated that the referee can only judge players on the field, substitute players or players who have been substituted. Showing red and yellow cards, for the disciplinary sanction of the head coach, there is no problem of showing red and yellow cards, so Stark's practice of inviting Oston to the stands through hand gestures during the game is completely in line with the rules... the game The situation in the middle field is changing rapidly, and the referee only relying on a pair of naked eyes will inevitably have omissions, so we think that Stark is not wrong, he just made a little mistake in law enforcement... Stark will not accept the UEFA Referee Disciplinary Committee penalty, but at the same time he will not referee the rest of the Champions League this season..."

UEFA's statement did not surprise the public.

In recent years, UEFA has become more and more protective of the referees. The reason is nothing more than the fact that the expansion of the giant clubs in various leagues has threatened UEFA, so UEFA has changed the way to set up referees. their authority, and then indirectly enhance their status in this way.

Not allowing Stark to enforce the remaining three Champions League games, UEFA's explanation on the surface is "worried that Stark will make mistakes again", but the truth is to protect Stark and let him avoid the recent whirlpool of public opinion. It also prevents him from being deliberately retaliated by fans.

However, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Only half a year later, in the 0809 season, Stark was assigned by UEFA to enforce the UEFA Champions League. One of them happened to be the group match of Werder Bremen. A Munich 1860 fan I also bought tickets, and when the game was about to start, I suddenly rushed into the field and stood in front of Stark, and showed him a red card!

At that time, not only Stark, but even the whole stadium was confused by this fan-the referee has always been the god on the football field, who has the right to give him a red card? ——It was almost seven or eight minutes before the stadium security came to expel the fan. Although the fans obediently did not leave the field obediently, this incident also became a popular phenomenon in European football during that season and even in the next few years. The "revenge incident" that we like to talk about.

... I am the dividing line in advertising ...

In the sunny Beverly Hills mansion in Los Angeles, David Beckham is watching his three sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz play football in the garden.

The older Brooklyn and Romeo ran around on the lawn passing the ball to each other. Cruz, who was only 3 years old, could not join the games of his brothers. He could only hold a football half the size of his body by himself. Rolling around on the ground with hands and feet and pushing.

The three lively little boys and the smiling and loving father who is watching them form a very warm and touching picture.

Suddenly, the mobile phone that Beckham placed on the table next to him gave out a notification tone.

Beckham picked up his phone and looked at it. It turned out that Karl, his friend on Twitter and also the coach of the team, had just updated a new post.

It was a beautiful picture of the Great Wall of China, and there was a simple sentence: "Holiday travel destination: Beijing, the Great Wall."

Beckham raised his eyebrows, and before he opened the reply box and left a message, a bunch of private messages popped up on his phone.

"The boss is going on a trip, do you want to follow?"

"The winter break is too long, and people who stay at home are almost moldy. Why don't you go on vacation with your boss?"

Within ten minutes, [-] or [-] teammates sent him private messages together. Cruz, who was playing football next to him, was very curious by the continuous beeping of the mobile phone. He abandoned his little friend football and ran to Beckham. Beside her, she stretched out her hands to hug: "PaPa?"

Beckham's eyes wandered for a while, and he made up his mind after a while. He immediately replied to his teammates and said, "Good idea, it's such a happy decision!" Then he hugged Cruz with one hand and private messaged Karl with the other: "Take me one for vacation?"

Carl's reply was quick: "It's okay to go on vacation together, but you have to keep up with my schedule. If you catch me, I will travel with you. If you can't, just wait for the club's training notice. :-D"

Beckham's cell phone was beeping again, and his teammates sent him private messages one after another. Although the words were different, there was only one theme - the boss has spoken, so what are you waiting for, pack your bags and go!

Victoria Beckham appeared in the picture at this time, and she greeted her family in a wine red dress: "David, children, it's time for dinner."

In the next second, Victoria saw her husband holding her little son, running towards her.

Victoria smiled, opened her arms, and was about to give her husband a hug, but when she saw her husband running in front of her, she suddenly stopped, stuffed Cruz into her arms, said "Thank you", and turned around like a gust of wind Go to the door!

Brooklyn and Romeo, who were playing football, were almost blown down by their windy father. After stopping, they, like their mother Victoria, both opened their mouths and stared in amazement at the figure who had disappeared outside the gate. The three-year-old Cruz was dazed and ignorant, biting his thumb and looking up at his mother: "MaMa?"

Screen switching.

At home in Munich, Germany, Lambert Koch, who was having dinner, accidentally looked at his mobile phone, and immediately ran into the room, picked up a sports backpack and left.

"Lambert!" Koch's mother poked her head out of the kitchen and threw a box of pizza over: "You must eat it for dinner!"

The square pizza box flew in the air at high speed, and when it was about to hit Koch's head, the goalkeeper of the Lions team turned around quickly, stretched his right arm forward, and grabbed the pizza box firmly in his hand , the whole movement is coherent and natural, very much like a scene in a movie.

The two Koch Lolitas at the dining table ate their dinner without changing their expressions, and they were not surprised by the god-like ability to pounce on food staged by their elder brother.

At the same time, Lars Bender and his younger brother Sven Bender were about to secretly drive the car out of the garage, but unfortunately the sound of the car starting betrayed them. Bender's parents stood in front of the window and shouted the names of the two brothers angrily. Sven stepped on the accelerator nervously, the car turned a dangerous curve and drove onto the road, the brothers cheered excitedly in the cab.

The camera was plunged into darkness, and the phone's notification sound of "ding ding ding" kept ringing, and before it converged into a fierce rhythm, the camera suddenly lit up!

In airports around the world, countless 1860 Munich players wearing shirts, T-shirts, jackets and even pajamas stood in front of the ticket counter and said anxiously: "Beijing, China! Give me a plane ticket to China!"

Countless planes took off at the same time, and quickly unloaded the group of players in the airport hall full of yellow people. When he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and wanted to send a private message to the boss that he had arrived in Beijing, he heard a notification sound. After clicking on it, Carl’s Twitter homepage was updated again: this time it was a photo of the blue sky outside the window from the cabin The white clouds and the photos of the Red Square in Russia are collaged together. It is obvious that the Lions coach is telling his players: You are late, I am already on the plane to the next stop.

The Lions players looked at me and I looked at you, and rushed to the crowded ticket counter together: "Give me a ticket to Moscow!"

Then it's a game of chasing after me.

In the constantly switching pictures, Carl’s Twitter keeps showing photos of new destinations, sometimes skiing in the Swiss snow mountains, sometimes visiting the Colosseum in Rome, and sometimes in the bazaar in New Delhi, a black and fat Indian woman Smiling and putting a sari on Karl's body... Accompanied by the picture, there is a sentence of "you are late again", whether it is pride or disappointment, and in the next shot, there must be scenes of Lions players running around In the scene, dozens of players swarmed in different airport halls one after another, and the expressions on their faces gradually changed from inevitable to dejected, and then to persevering to the end.

When the players missed out because of falling behind again, Portillo suddenly pointed to a photo on his mobile phone and said: "Look, there is an aviation emblem on this photo!" The aviation emblem represents a certain airline. The company's mark.

The lens gave a big close-up to the yellow-based aviation emblem, and then fell into darkness.

The background music was still so bright and brisk. Carl in a suit and leather shoes was sitting in the cabin of a plane flying to Rio de Janeiro, and had just updated the Twitter status of the last stop.

Looking at the inbox without a single private message, Carl's expression suddenly became a little melancholy. Brazil was his last stop, and he thought he had no chance to travel with the players.

Turning off the phone and closing his eyes, Carl prepares to fall asleep.

Other passengers began to board the plane one after another, and only the lower bodies of this group of people appeared in the picture, almost all of them were wearing blue ball pants and sneakers.

A stewardess wearing a navy blue dress and a yellow silk scarf suddenly walked up to Karl's seat and patted him on the shoulder.

Carl opened his eyes and looked at the stewardess with some doubts.

The stewardess motioned him to look behind him.

Carl turned his head, and was shocked to find that the entire cabin was filled with his own players.

In the next second, an extremely gratified smile appeared on his face.

Rio de Janeiro.

The turquoise water beats against the shore in waves, and the golden sand is filled with countless beautiful bikini girls. The samba dancers are dancing with the 1860 Munich players in beach shirts and shorts. Behind them is a huge On the barbecue grill, several helpers were diligently grilling meat. Not far away, the team coach in a white shirt was holding a glass of champagne and looking at the scene in front of him with a smile.

A group of samba dancers suddenly appeared next to Karl, dragged him into the crowd with great enthusiasm, and invited him to dance together.

Facing the beautiful blessings that came to his door, Carl did not back down, he stepped on the beat of the music and took a dance step.

Gradually, all the samba dancers around were attracted by the coach of the lion team. The player who was dancing high turned around, and the girls who were still around before all surrounded the boss like bees chasing flowers!

The players stood side by side, looked enviously at the bigger and bigger dance circle not far away, exchanged dark glances with each other, and Owen quietly dialed the airline's booking number.

The next second, the players who had finished dressing suddenly rushed into the middle of the samba dancers, kidnapped their boss one by one, and ran out of the beach. The samba dancers were stunned, looking at each other with puzzled expressions.

In the next second, the plane landed after a huge roar, and the players of Munich 1860 had already held Karl hostage and arrived at Munich Airport.

The last shot is the LOGO display of Lufthansa and Twitter.
