Red Rebels

686 punching bag

Reporters gathered at the press conference at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Olsen sat at the center of the press conference, and beside him were some UEFA officials.

Everyone knows that this time UEFA holds a meeting to announce the results of the Red Rebels' lawsuit against Barcelona.

"After the hearings we held and the testimonies of relevant parties, we have obtained the truth of the entire matter. We have enough evidence to prove that Barcelona illegally contacted Red Rebels player Fabre in 2007. Gase's agent, Jose Diaz, made private contacts and reached an agreement."

"According to the FIFA Player Qualification and Transfer Regulations, both Barcelona and Jose Diaz will be subject to sports law sanctions. For Barcelona, ​​we have decided to impose a fine of 00,000 euros on Barcelona and prohibit them from playing in the future. New players will be signed within a transfer period, and Jose Diaz will have his agent license revoked and be fined 00,000 euros."

When Olson announced the above penalties, all reporters present were in an uproar.

Barcelona is prohibited from signing new players in the next two transfer periods. Doesn't this mean that Barcelona will not be seen in summer transfers and winter transfers in 2009? This is absolutely bad news for Barcelona, ​​whose current lineup is not perfect.

As for the agent Jose Diaz, he is unlucky. Besides, not many people know him, so no one cares whether he is dead or alive.

In addition, Olson also responded to the Red Rebels' lawsuit against Barcelona player Pedro for diving to cheat a penalty kick in the Champions League quarter-finals. He said that he would let the relevant departments conduct follow-up investigations as soon as possible. Give an answer, and he won't make any statement until the results are out.

After UEFA held a press conference, the official website immediately issued a penalty statement.

Barcelona immediately held a press conference. The club stated that FIFA's punishment was unreasonable and stated that it would appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, which is also the highest arbitration body in the sports world. His decision , any sports organization must comply.

"But, Mr. Laporta, you should be aware that if you appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, you may get a reduction, but if you lose, the penalty is likely to be increased," a reporter at the scene reminded with a sneer.

Barcelona privately contacted Jose Diaz,

It is already known to everyone that Barcelona has reached an agreement with him. The reason why Barcelona appealed was just to make a gesture.

To put it bluntly, contacting players privately is something every giant team does, not only Barcelona, ​​but also Real Madrid and the Red Rebels. For example, the Bundesliga team Schalke O4 once questioned the Red Rebels. , believed that Red Rebels scouts had privately approached their player Ozil.

However, the Red Rebels responded immediately, saying that they had no illegal contact with the players, and were only paying attention to Ozil. Zier will definitely get in touch with Schalke O4 as soon as possible instead of contacting him privately.

Schalke O4 responded positively to the Red Rebels' response, so they did not take the Red Rebels to court in the end.

In fact, as parents, FIFA and UEFA also turn a blind eye to private contact with players. It is not just the wealthy clubs, but almost all teams are doing this. But this time, who Everyone knows that Barcelona has crossed the line.

There are unspoken rules in European football. There are some things you can do, but you cannot say; there are some things you can say, but you cannot do; similarly, there are some things you can neither say nor do.

Therefore, in Xiao Yu's previous life, Barcelona continued to seduce Fabregas through the media, because everyone knew that no matter how the media broke the news or publicized it, it had no impact on Barcelona, ​​and they did not deny it, or even acquiesced. and the media hype that supports this.

Arsenal's Arsene Wenger was most disgusted with this approach, but there was nothing he could do because Barcelona did nothing at all.

But this time, Barcelona went too far. They actually promised to give agents commissions and wanted players and agents to cooperate with them in lowering transfer fees. This is definitely over the line, so UEFA must impose penalties, otherwise , cannot quell the anger of the Red Rebels and fans, and will cause more serious sequelae.

If all clubs do this, the transfer market will be in chaos in the near future.

But it is precisely because of this that after Barcelona accepted the punishment, almost the entire European football world applauded, because everyone knew that they had gone too far.

The incident with Barcelona also serves as a reminder to Chelsea, Manchester City and several other English clubs with too much money to spend, not to overdo it, otherwise, they will become the next Barcelona.

The Red Rebels were defeated by Barcelona with a total score of:, but they were eliminated with the away goal difference. They suffered a moderate upset in the top 8 knockout rounds of the European Champions League. After all, the Red Rebels have the highest odds of winning the championship among bookmakers. Big hit.

This has also made many conspiracy theorists wonder whether the betting company is manipulating the results of the game behind the scenes?

In a game played at the same time as the Red Rebels, Droisden first defeated Chelsea in the away game, and then defeated the Blues at home:o. As a result, Pellegrini's team finished with 4: They defeated Chelsea with a total score and entered the Champions League semi-finals historically, and their opponent was Barcelona, ​​which eliminated the Red Rebels.

Pellegrini is very happy that his team can reach the semi-finals. He said that Droylsden can even be said to be the weakest in the top eight in terms of strength, but it can reach the semi-finals by relying on the ball. With the team as a whole and the players' tactical execution, he hopes to eliminate Barcelona in the semi-finals.

"We are brothers with the Red Rebels. Barcelona eliminated the Red Rebels. I hope to avenge them." Pellegrini said jokingly, but in fact, he also wanted to use Barcelona to prove that Mourinho's victory He can beat teams that he can't beat.

And one thing that is beneficial to Droyden is that in the next round of the game, Xavi will be suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards. With the current Barcelona lineup, the lack of Xavi will bring fatal losses to Barcelona. After all, in Barcelona In the lineup, there is simply no candidate who can replace Harvey.

In the other quarter of the top eight knockout rounds, Manchester United first defeated AC Milan away from home, and then returned to home and defeated AC Milan again, defeating the Nerazzurri with a total score of 0. This also made everyone Everyone has seen the strength of Manchester United, after all; After this showdown with AC Milan, Manchester United suddenly became the team with the highest claim to win the championship. After all, Ferguson showed a balance of offense and defense in these two rounds, especially It was the control of the game that almost made AC Milan unable to counterattack, and in the end they could only end up with a complete defeat.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, relied on two games at home and away: o to eliminate the same country team Valencia with a total score of: o. The Bat Legion was at a disadvantage in both rounds. Although the defense was very strong, it was still unable to stop Real Madrid in the end. Pele's light, the Frenchman led Real Madrid to the semi-finals.

As a result, the four teams in the semi-finals have emerged, and the two duels are Droyden versus Barcelona and Manchester United versus Real Madrid.

But all of this has nothing to do with the Red Rebels.

Calculating carefully, this should be the most relaxing season ending for the Red Rebels in recent seasons.

When they were in the English Championship, they reached the UEFA Cup. In the first season when they were promoted to England, they won the UEFA Cup again. After that, they won the Champions League for three consecutive seasons. In these five seasons, the Red Rebels have won every season. The official stage is often when the fight is the most intense, and the players simply wish they could master the art of clones.

But this season, they were eliminated from the League Cup, the FA Cup, and then the Champions League. Now the Red Rebels only have one league championship left to fight for. It always feels sad to say that.

If the League Cup and the FA Cup are not taken seriously by the Red Rebels, and Mourinho arranges substitute players to play, then being eliminated from the Champions League makes the Red Rebels feel a little unacceptable.

Even the players were sluggish in training, and Mourinho had to hold a first-team meeting for this reason.

Xiao Yu also participated in this meeting and asked the players to cheer up.

"We have lost the League Cup, the FA Cup, and the Champions League, but we cannot lose the league again. If we end up empty-handed at the end of this season, we will suffer the ridicule of others. They will say, last time Seven championships this season, but now I can’t even win one.”

"That's right," Mourinho also supported Xiao Yu's words, "I can't allow my team not to win even one championship in a season, so we are determined to win the league championship."

"With five rounds left, we are six points ahead of Manchester United. This is a good advantage, but I don't think we have the capital to be careless. We must win all the next games and win all five games." record to ensure that we can win the English League Championship this season and defend the dignity of our Red Rebels."

I don’t know if the words of Mourinho and Xiao Yu inspired the players, or if the players have gradually come out of the shadow of being eliminated from the Champions League after two days of rest, and their enthusiasm in training is even stronger. Big.

In this round of the English League, the Red Rebels welcomed Aston Villa at home.

Mourinho sent out all the main players to face Martin O'Neill's team this time. The Red Rebels vowed to vent their humiliation in the Champions League in this game.

After the game started, both sides were trying. After several contacts, the Red Rebels took the lead in attacking.

In the 5th minute, after Ronaldinho made continuous passes on the left, he cut across the road in front of the penalty area and suddenly took a long shot, which penetrated the goal guarded by Carson and helped the Red Rebels break the deadlock on the field. :o

Only a minute later, the Red Rebels used this time to make a breakthrough. In the 6th minute, Ismail, who replaced Drogba, grabbed a point in the penalty area and poked Messi's pass from the right. Aston Villa's goal changed the score to: o

The Red Rebels fans at the scene were getting more and more excited. Many of them had experienced the depression of the Champions League, but now they were relieved in this game.

Obviously, Martin O'Neill's team was unlucky to be the target of the Red Rebels' leaks.

In the 6th minute, Aguero made a quick intervention on the road and played a clever one-two with the retreating Ismail. After using his speed to enter the penalty area, he calmly challenged the attacking goalkeeper Carson. Scored a goal, :o

Martin O'Neill had to make adjustments because he was facing a crazily attacking Red Rebels. He felt the ferocity of the Red Rebels better than anyone else, especially the unrivaled force. of sharp momentum.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, but Mourinho did not adjust his tactics.

In the 59th minute, Agbonlahor retreated to defend and fouled the Red Rebels about 5 meters from the front of the penalty area. Michael Johnson personally took the free kick and it was a very beautiful kick. 4: o

Less than 5 minutes later, Michael Johnson once again performed well. After intercepting the ball, he passed the ball diagonally to the right. After Messi successfully countered offside, he went all the way to the right side of Aston Villa's penalty area and picked up the pass. Ronaldinho arrived in time and succeeded with a header, 5:o

The fans at the scene were completely crazy. They originally thought that after experiencing the low ebb of being eliminated from the Champions League, the Red Rebels might usher in a low ebb, but they never expected that the team would come out of the shadows so quickly and play a good game. Such a hearty goal feast.

But just when the fans thought the goal was about to end, Messi finally scored.

The Argentine teenager was very active on the right wing in this game, assisting his teammates to score several times. Now he finally got a taste of the goal in the 86th minute. After a deft escape in the penalty area, he pushed the shot towards the near post. , the football stuck in the post and rolled into the goal, and the score was rewritten to 6:o

This is also the last goal of the game

Throughout the game, from beginning to end, the Red Rebels completely controlled the direction of the game. Aston Villa failed to get any chance at all. Martin O'Neill could only accept this ruthless bloody massacre in depression.

But what makes Red Rebel fans even more happy is that in this simultaneous game, Manchester United was held to a draw by Middlesbrough away from home.

Although Robinho took the lead in scoring for Manchester United, Middlesbrough's powerful striker Alfonso Alves, who had spent a lot of money during the winter break, scored twice in just 5 minutes to help Middlesbrough reverse the score. .

If Rooney hadn't scored the equalizer for Manchester United in the 84th minute, Manchester United would undoubtedly have lost.

However, it is precisely because of this draw that the points gap between Manchester United and the Red Rebels has widened to 8 points. With 4 rounds left in the league, this has almost declared the English League championship in advance.
