Chapter 52 Retribution

Fiorentina defeated Atlanta at home, winning three times in a row, and continued to lead the table. In several other games the day after tomorrow, AC Milan was tied 1:1 by weak Siena away.

In the first half, Siena striker Makarone opened the record. In the next game, AC Milan played extremely hard. It seems that Milan's players have not come out of the shadow of being defeated by Fiorentina. Ronaldo on the front line is like sleepwalking. Although Gilardino has several chances to score, it is a pity that he always lacks a little luck when he comes to the goal. Qi.

Seeing that Milan is about to suffer the second game of strength of this season, Milan's savior finally arrived in the make-off period, but this time, it was not Kaka who saved Milan, but central defender Nesta. He used a header to equalize the score with a corner kick. After that, Milan still wanted to take the opportunity to overtake the score. A minute later, Sendorf hit the crossbar with a long-range shot, and finally AC Milan could only accept a helpless draw.

Another team in Milan City has defeated their opponent Catania in this round. Materazzi, Ziwu, Samuel and Vieira were absent due to injuries. Mancini also had to make a rotation for the Champions League in the middle of the week. Adriano, who has been idle for several games by Mancini, finally got the opportunity to start. Partnering with Crespo, veteran Cesar became the left-back.

Catania drew in the previous two rounds. Although this round was an away game, it was not conservative at all, but it was weak. Inter Milan defeated Catania 2-0 at home with Stankovic's two goals in the first and second half.

In this game, Adriano, who started the game, worked very hard, but his state reached a freezing point. He didn't even have two decent shots in the whole game. Just ten minutes in the second half, Mancini replaced him with Cruz, and Adriano also broke up with Inter Milan. Enter the countdown.

Roma, who also won two consecutive victories at the beginning, played against Reggina. Due to Panucci's injury, Brazilian central defender Juan got a chance to play.

Both teams lacked highlights in the first half. It was not until the 50th minute of the second half that the deadlock of the game was broken. Totti made a free kick in the front court. Juan inserted and cleverly bypassed the opponent's defense from the left side. Five meters in front of the goal, heftly shot the goal!

In the next game, Reggina tried to strengthen the attack to equalize the score, and also played several waves of beautiful attacks, but when the game went on, their hopes were finally dashed. Sicinho made a low pass from the right side, Aquilani cleverly missed it, and Totti shot low with his right foot to the left 13 meters in front of the goal. Corner, 2:0 locked the victory.

Juventus, another team that is expected to compete for the championship this season, also has the confidence to win against Udinese after two consecutive victories.

Ranieri formed all the main lineup, but replaced the suspended Zebina with Birindri. Trezeguet and Piero partnered the front line. The Frenchman was only one goal away from their 100 goals in Serie A, and Udinese's former player Aquinta did not start.

However, at the beginning, Udinese took the initiative. The continuous attack made Juventus dangerous in the penalty area. After stabilizing the situation, Juventus also began to launch a counterattack.

However, when the game reached the 20th minute, Juventus suffered a heavy blow. Camoranesi's leg muscles in excellent condition were strained and were left by the staff. Degan's former teammate Nocerino came on as a substitute.

Without the hot spot in Camoranesi's offensive system, Juventus' offensive gradually showed signs of silence, and the two teams fought against each other in the first half.

As a result, in the second half, the situation on the field suddenly changed. In less than 100 seconds, Udinese took the lead. Inle passed the header from the front of the penalty area, Dosena grabbed the volley in front of Crischito, and Di Natale scored a header 10 meters in front of the goal, 1:0.

In the next game, Juventus launched a full-line counterattack, and Ranieri also made a series of substitutions, hoping to save the defeat. However, on the whole, Juventus' attack still seemed to lack penetrating, but Udinese's counterattack was excellent.

Towards the end of the game, the biggest controversy of the game emerged. In the 89th minute, Yaquinta headed into the far corner, but the referee decided that Piero pushed Koda first and the goal was invalidated, triggering a collective protest from Juventus.

Juventus lost 0:1 at home in the end.

The first defeat of the new season, and in an extremely painful way, Ranieri's team tasted the first defeat of the new season at home. In Turin's "All Sports", Juventus's defeat is still paying heavily for the storm a year ago. The price.

According to All Sports, it is not the first time that the referee of Juventus against Udinese, the referee, has severely targeted Juventus. Previously, he canceled Juventus' goals, ignored penalties that should have been awarded, and punished Nedvede in Juventus-related games. Red card sentencing.

In this game, his last-minute penalty undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Juventus again. Commenting on Farina's law enforcement against Juventus watches in the game, "All Sports" used the words "use of precision sights" to accuse Farina of being critical of Juventus.

and said that although Udinese did show a better physical state, in addition, Juventus' final defeat was indeed inseparable from the two penalties given to Juventus by Farina, and his decision also aroused the dissatisfaction of the Bianconeri.

However, it is no longer useful for Juventus players to argue with the referee on the court. At present, the referee has never been clear about the principle of enforcing Juventus-related games, that is, when there are doubts about the penalty, it is advantageous to judge Juventus' opponents.

And this not only made Juventus players dissatisfied, but also made Juventus fans feel isolated and deceived because of these controversial referees' decisions.

In the last round of Serie A, Juventus' away game against Cagliari, the referee also awarded Juventus two penalty kicks.

If the penalty in Sardinia at that time did not affect the final result, then the injustice suffered by Juventus in this game against Udinese completely damaged Ranieri's team.

However, the dissatisfaction of Juventus players and fans has not been supported by the management of Juventus Club. When talking about the attitude of Juventus executives on sentencing, All Sports said sarcastically that out of respect and importance to social ethics, this Instead of protesting, the polite gentlemen bent down humbly.

This aroused the dissatisfaction of the fans, who asked the club that although they did not have to be overreacted like the era of the Big Three, Copley and others should at least protest and become the protectors of the club's players.

Now Juventus are paying off their original faults, and the truth is the same. Whenever there is a disadvantage on the court, the referees always face Juventus' opponents.

Juventus fans are protesting, but this time, no one is on their side. Although the referee's judgment is indeed unfair, more people still feel that the reason why Juventus is today is entirely due to retribution.

"That's not strange, and I don't think they should complain about anything, because when they were taken care of like nannies, weren't those who suffered injustice not compensated!"

Degan, interviewed by reporters, only left such a sentence, and it can be heard that he had no good impression of Juventus at all.

"I don't want to discuss this now, because I have more important things to do, the Champions League. I think it's much more important than Juventus!"
