Chapter 323 Penalty Results and Competition Trends
Li Tongfan then threw a sweet bait.
"... There is no team that comes to Orlidia and Switzerland that does not yearn for the final championship. I am used to making the best and worst preparations from the beginning. Alan's stay determines my prestige and control in the current team. If I can't even protect my players, I can't imagine who else will The team is trying hard to win, Mr. Brian. You should know how deadly this problem is for a head coach, right? If you want to win the championship, please give me a united team..."
At this moment, Li Tongfan is like a little devil with a sharp-eared tail gradually waving this sharp three-stranded fork in his hand, looking at the wonderful of the phone receiver releaser from hell**!
The other part of the phone call was silent for a while, and Brian Balvik was finally persuaded by Li Tongfan: "Okay! Li, don't let me down!"
...the other side of the English Channel.
Brian Balvik hung up the phone and sat on the sofa in his pajamas with a long breath. Since the madman Lee became the head coach of the England team, a series of incredible winning streaks have made the FA's prestige in the minds of fans higher and higher, and the fan support rate has also risen.
Moreover, it seems that only this Chinese can bring the championship trophy that everyone dreams of to Great Britain. No matter what, he must meet his conditions and help Alan Smith stay in England!
Of course, there is another unknown reason.
In fact, as a fan of Michael Owen, Brian Balvik shouted excitedly in the office when he saw Alan Smith punching down the damn Spanish No. 4 player on the TV screen!
Cool!
It seems that every man has a violent plot in his bones!
... In the following days, the public opinion controversy about Alan Smith remained endless.
The British and Western media launched a large-scale scolding war.
After the game, the Spanish team announced Machena's injury: one missing front tooth, a slight concussion, and a week's truce.
Such a sad card has won the sympathy of many people. In the eyes of the Spanish media, the white-haired Alan Smith is simply abominable guy than the hell demon Satan. If possible, the Spaniards can't wait to tie this violent man to the stake of the medieval Inquisition and burn it to ashes.
England's counterattack is also unambiguous.
The injury of Michael Owen, the top scorer of the Three Lions, touched the hearts of thousands of fans around the world. At that time, Marchena's fierce shoveling and the shocking scene of Owen's injury made everyone who liked him afraid that the teenager who chased the wind would repeat the mistakes of the 2006 World Cup in Germany... Fans could no longer bear it. Once there was the pain of losing the golden boy.
So, in a few days, letters of condolence are like snowflakes in the twelfth lunar month, drifting from all over the world to the fan public relations department of the FA, England and even Newcastle Club. Compared with Alan Smith, which is the Spanish, the English fans' hatred for Machena is undoubtedly more unforgettable. Some fanatical fans have even issued death threats to the Valencian central defender... Fortunately, the official websites of England and Newcastle soon announced Owen's injury - ankle contusion, a week's truce!
As soon as the news came out, even the earth seemed to take a breath easily.
Although the week of truce is a big obstacle for Owen to compete for top scorer, Owen fans have been able to stay in the European Cup under such a malicious foul!
Due to Owen's injury, Alan Smith's heinous behavior in the eyes of the Spanish is as cute as an angel in the eyes of the British. In the face of national honor, this time, not only the fans, but also the always harsh British and British Isles media have become a piece of iron plate, unanimously supporting Alan Smith.
The British media has portrayed Alan Smith as a hero who has the courage to stand up to protect his teammates. In addition, Smith's previous tenacious and brave autumn style at Leeds United and Manchester United, Smith has become synonymous with "men" overnight, and his popularity among British female fans is hidden. It has surpassed David Beckham, and for many young male fans, it has become a fashion to dye their hair white and wave their casserole-sized fists from time to time... As for Li, the madman who led the team to win both games and cut [Otto Emperor] and [Football Wisdom], there is no doubt that He has become a figure in the British three islands and China. The picture of Lao Li's cold face in front of Machenna became the most frequent photo on TV and in newspapers and magazines.
The Sun made a very intriguing fan survey - "If it weren't for Alan Smith, would the madman Li wave his fist?"
8.6% of fans did not hesitate to choose the option of "can".
It is obvious that the stuffy man has practiced his pretentious skills to a certain extent, because he just stood in front of Machena and put a cool POSE, and took away a large part of Alan Smith's "bratory credit"... The war of words between the media and fans was infamous, and the football officials We are not idle either.
The undercurrent surges under the sun.
On June 20, the UEFA Records Committee announced the results of the investigation in advance. Although except for England itself, no team that is expected to advance to the top 8 of the European Cup is in favor of a lighter penalty for Alan Smith, when Platini finally announced the result of the penalty, everyone was shocked - Spanish No. 4 player Machena maliciously fouled and suspended for one game.
England's No. 13 player Alan Smith's violent behavior at the stadium, suspended for three games and an additional fine of 100,000 euros!
Such a punishment, whether for Machena or Alan Smith, is extremely light, especially for Alan Smith. Although the fine of 100,000 euros can be regarded as a heavy penalty, it is suspended for three games... It is thought-provoking!
As soon as the penalty result came out, in addition to the media, the Spanish Football Association and the British Football Association both humorously expressed their full obedience.
...night.
Hotel.
Lao Li's room.
"...Li, I have done your request," Brian Balvik, CEO of the Football Federation, revealed his deep fatigue on the phone: "I hope this will not happen again in the future. The price is too high..."
Li Tongfan smiled at the phone.
This time, the penalty scale of UEFA was relaxed. It is estimated that Balvik did take a lot of effort. Listening to this voice, he knew that he was tired enough, but fortunately, things were finally done!
After a pause on the phone call, he asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Li, you know, now all England is waiting for you to bring them a trophy that has been waiting for too long like a savior..." I know what you mean, Mr. Balvik! No one who likes football will hate trophies, and so do I!"
... The European Cup was thrown into flames.
More than two hours after England swept Spain 3-0, another game in Group D was also divided - at the Sietsenheim Stadium in Salzburg.
The defending champion Greece was defeated by a goal from the Norwegian team. In the 33rd minute of the game, the 37-year-old old goalkeeper of the Greek team, Nico Polidis, made a fatal mistake. The attack and stealing did not become an empty door gift from the Norwegian team. High school striker Karu laughed rudely!
Although Greece still has a group match with Spain, it has lost the possibility of advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2008 European Cup ahead of schedule.
"The myth collapse only takes one ball!"
"Otto the Great is no longer magical, and the defending champion leaves sadly"
In the midst of the mourning of the world media, the most beautiful and dazzling myth of Europe in 2004 was finally shattered four years later.
After the Greek team was out, [Otto the Great] Rehagel officially announced that he would no longer coach the Greek team after the end of the European Cup, and the team's hero Charistias in 2004 also announced that he would withdraw from the national team after the end of the cup... The coach left, and the hero was late... History condensed a touch of brilliance. Brilliant, but there is a miracle caster missing on the green field!
... The exit of the defending champion shows the cruel surname of the football game. Greece is not the first team, nor will it be the last.
After the second round of the group stage, the third round will start immediately!
