Chapter 967 The Istanbul Tragedy (Part 2) 5K Subscription Recommended Ticket Monthly Pass

Inside the home team's locker room at the Turk Telekom Stadium.

Trim is doing his best to boost the morale of the team.

He found a great example of motivating players.

"Eight years ago, in our great city, there was a great comeback," Trim said.

“A night in Istanbul!”

"The match between Milan and Liverpool."

Some players said that as soon as the coach said it, they knew which game it was.

"That's right, Istanbul night!" Trim nodded. "It's also 0-3 behind. The Liverpool people can do it, why can't we?"

"This is Istanbul, this is our turf, boys, cheer up, and have a real Istanbul night on our own turf!"

Looking at the confident Trim, some players rekindled their fighting spirit in their hearts.

In the hearts of many Turks, Trim is the national hero of Turkey.

He was even called "Emperor of Turkey".

Of course, Trim's reputation as the "Emperor of Earth" is not for nothing, it is a real meritorious service.

He once led the Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray to win the 2000 UEFA Cup and the 2000 UEFA Super Cup, and this is the best achievement a Turkish club has achieved in the European arena. Such achievements make Turkish fans regard him as national hero.

In the 2008 European Cup, it was Trim again who led the Turkish national team to the semi-finals of the European Cup, creating Turkey's best performance in the European Cup.

On the wall of Trim's home in Turkey, there is such a banner that reads "Nothing is impossible, miracles happen every now and then."

This is also what Trim often used to encourage the players before and during the game, and it is also his belief. He passed this belief on to his players, and only then did this miracle happen again and again.

It can be said that Trim's prestige in the Galatasaray team is no less than that of Aston Villa.

Only the encouragement of such a head coach who has created many miracles and honors can encourage the players to a certain extent in such an unfavorable situation.

Trim didn't expect his words to boost the morale of the whole team immediately. Some players had fighting spirit, which made him satisfied.

The fighting spirit of this part of the players is released in the second half of the game, and their performance on the court improves, which can boost the morale of the whole team.

What he hopes most now is to have better luck in the second half of the game. It is best to score a goal as soon as possible. As long as a goal is recovered as soon as possible, he believes that this can stimulate the fighting spirit of the players to the greatest extent. Instilled with the idea of ​​creating Galatasaray's own 'Istanbul Night', it can be fermented to great effect.

...

The second half begins.

Galatasaray kicks off in the middle circle.

The home team took advantage of the kick-off and attacked Aston Villa's goal as soon as it came up.

Objectively speaking, Galatasere's strength is relatively strong, and their offensive has indeed brought some trouble to Aston Villa.

Just three minutes into the second half, Galatasaray won a free kick in the frontcourt.

Sneijder's free kick went into the penalty area, Drogba successfully grabbed the point, and the football he pushed out was very threatening.

Ter Stegen made an excellent save as he single-handedly knocked the ball out.

Outside the penalty area, Altentop shot a long shot, and the football brushed the post and went out of the baseline.

Seeing the momentum of the home team up, the Galatasaray fans in the stands were excited.

Then, something very wonderful happened.

Excited Galatasaray fans threw fireworks towards the stadium.

Several large fireworks immediately filled Aston Villa's half-time with smoke.

Aston Villa captain Clement went to the referee to complain.

The referee Colum from Finland communicated with the assistant referee and announced the suspension of the game.

Aston Villa's players temporarily retreated to Galatasaray's half to avoid the fireworks.

...

Fang Jue was angry on the sidelines, and he complained to the fourth official Malvini from Finland.

"Look, look, this is our competition environment." Fang Jue complained angrily.

In fact, Fang Jue's heart was almost bursting with joy.

Over there, Trim was so angry that he almost cursed.

At this time, it was Galatasaray's starting stage. Less than five minutes after the start of the second half, they completed two shots. You must know that they only had three shots in the first half.

Moreover, whether it is Drogba's header or Altentop's long-range shots are very threatening.

It can be said that this period of time can be regarded as the period when Galatasaray began to find an offensive rhythm. According to this situation, Trim believes that the team is not far from scoring goals.

However, the fireworks thrown by the fans in the field forced the game to be temporarily suspended, which directly interrupted Galatasaray's just-rising offensive rhythm.

After a few minutes, the smoke caused by the fireworks dissipated and the game continued.

Galatasaray, whose offensive rhythm was interrupted, 'intensified' and swarmed up to attack.

Yilmaz wanted to pass Walker, and he succeeded, but the ball was immediately intercepted by Clement, who was replacing him.

Aston Villa immediately launched a counterattack.

The sequelae of Galatasaray's swarming pressure were immediately apparent.

Their midfield defensive coverage ability was weakened to the maximum.

Modric received a pass from Clement, and then when he distributed the ball, Galatasaray remained intact except for the four defenders, and the two wings and the midfielder all disappeared.

Mane and De Bruyne at both ends of Aston Villa are absolutely empty, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Lewandowski in the middle also have ample running space. The space formed by the two midfielders As wide as the Milky Way.

...

Aston Villa's offense is the most beautiful so far in this game, and the efficiency of transition from defense to offense is extremely high.

Lewandowski and Zlatan Ibrahimovic's oblique running back in the front field opened up the opponent's defense line, and the two sides opened up to create space for the center.

The football advanced rapidly, and finally after Mane took the ball from the wing, he dribbled the ball all the way and then cut the ball inside.

Ibrahimovic made a gesture to shoot, but missed the football.

Lewandowski got ahead of Cameroonian defender Noenko, stopped the ball, turned around, and shot in one go.

The football flew under the arm of Galatasaray goalkeeper Muslera and into the net behind him.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"

"Robert Lewandowski, second, he scored twice, Aston Villa lead Galatasaray 4-0 away."

"The mercury-like attack, from Clement stealing the ball to Aston Villa's goal, took less than ten seconds. It was too fast. Aston Villa's counterattack was too sharp."

In the stands of Turk Telekom Stadium, huge boos resounded, and angry fans threw fireworks into the stadium again, as well as water bottles, coins, etc., all fell down one after another.

The Aston Villa players were going to celebrate the goal, but they fled quickly when they saw it, avoiding debris in a panic.

Fang Jue once again complained angrily to the fourth official on the sidelines. His attitude was very clear. If the safety of his players could not be ensured, Aston Villa would not continue the game.

On the field, Galatasaray was in a state of frustration, and their captain Altentop was called by coach Colum to discuss the situation on the field with Aston Villa captain Clement.

Clement, who received Fang Jue's instructions, is too strong and tough. If the Galatasaray fans cannot be restrained and the safety of the players cannot be guaranteed, this game cannot be played.

Subsequently, Altintop, Inan, Kaya and other Turkish internationals came to the stands and called on the fans to calm down.

Fang Jue also found Trim, and he strongly asked Galatasaray to restrain the inappropriate behavior of the home fans.

Trim was also full of anger.

In his view, if the fireworks from the fans hadn’t interrupted Galatasaray’s offensive momentum, it would have been one to three instead of zero to four, and the situation would have been completely different:

If it was one to three, Galatasaray saw the hope of an equalizer.

However, it is now zero to four, and it is basically certain that Galatasaray's hope of a comeback is gone.

Trim came to the sidelines impassively, joined his players, and called on the fans to calm down.

The face of the Turkish emperor is still great, and the commotion of the fans at the scene has been temporarily subdued.

...

The game continues.

After such a fuss, the fighting spirit of the Galatasaray players was completely gone.

In the 71st minute of the game, Milner suddenly took a long shot from the top of the penalty area, and the football went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Five to zero!

From this conceded goal, it can be seen that Galatasaray's morale is gone. When Milner shot, in such a dangerous area, no one went up to block the shot immediately.

With a five-to-zero lead, Fang Jue began to make substitutions and adjustments.

Lewandowski was replaced and veteran Inzaghi came off the bench.

Mane was replaced and Hamei came off the bench.

Modric was substituted and a young Pogba came on as a substitute.

In less than ten minutes, Fang Jue used up three substitutions.

In the 83rd minute, the demoralized Galatasaray's defense made a mistake.

Kaya's return pass to goalkeeper Muslera's pass is weak.

Veteran Inzaghi swiftly rushed up to steal the ball midway, facing the attacking goalkeeper Muslera, Super Pippo volleyed from a small angle and scored.

Six to zero!

"Goooooooooooooooooooooaal!"

"Philip Inzaghi! Inzaghi! This is Inzaghi, six to zero, an incredible score."

The huge Turk Telekom Stadium was about to explode. At this time, even if the players on the field and the coaching staff of the home team went to the sidelines to restrain the home fans, it was useless.

In the next seven or eight minutes, players from both sides will play in the smoke.

Aston Villa once scored a goal from a long shot from Pogba in the 89th minute.

This is Pogba's long-range shot, and Muslera threw the football.

The slow motion shows that when Muslera threw the football, the football had crossed the goal line as a whole. However, because of the smoke, neither the linesman nor the referee saw the football cross the line.

Even the Aston Villa players didn't see clearly whether the ball crossed the line.

Only the audience and commentator in front of the TV saw the goal scored through replays.

However, this ball was not counted after all.

The score was still six to zero.

...

As soon as the 90-minute regular game time came, the referee Colum from Finland ignored the electronic signal board for six minutes of stoppage time and blew the whistle for the end of the game. sound.

The Turk Telekom Stadium nearly exploded, and home fans in the stands rioted.

Emotionally frenzied fans set grandstand seats on fire.

Water bottles, coins, fireworks and even burning seats were thrown down.

Fang Jue led the Aston Villa players, and under the protection of the shields raised by the riot police, they bent over and fled in embarrassment. They almost escaped from the pitch and entered the player's tunnel, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

...

The next day, all major sports media around the world were reporting on the game.

Aston Villa slaughtered Galatasaray 6-0 in the Devil's away game and staged the tragedy in Istanbul, which shocked fans all over the world.

The six-to-zero massacre, though, wasn't even the focus of the coverage.

The TV screen that appeared in front of the global audience was the scene of Aston Villa players fleeing from under the explosion-proof shield in a hurry.

On top of their heads, debris is raining down.

Just as Thornton, who was walking slowly, just ran into the player's tunnel, a burning seat fell, and the shield collapsed. If the Italian defender slowed down, he was smashed.

In the TV screen, at the press conference after the game, Fang Jue angrily denounced the poor environment of the away game.

"I admire the courage of my players to play in a situation where they risked their personal safety, and it makes me even more angry."

"If we can't ensure the safety of my players, such an away game is difficult for us to accept."

"Thankfully, there were no injuries to the players and no accidents to the fans."

A Turkish reporter at the scene refuted, saying that it was Aston Villa's remarks before the game that angered Turkish fans.

"When you said this, did you feel your conscience was still there?" Fang Jue scolded the other party angrily, "If the away game environment is harmonious, we will not issue safety reminders at all. When we repeatedly question the safety of the away game , This situation still occurs, you still have the face to blame the victim, it is really shameless!"

Fang Jue's remarks angered Galatasaray, and they asked Fang Jue to explain the words 'Aston Villa will not accept such an away game'.

The Turkish media and even officials in Istanbul criticized Fang Jue, thinking that he viewed Istanbul's away game with colored glasses.

"Our fans are peaceful, they are good, they are just irritated by some people's words and actions."

"It's really peaceful, the burning seat is shouting 'I'm peaceful'." Fang Jue, who returned to Birmingham, responded sarcastically.

Fang Jue criticized Turkey's unsafe away environment, and his move won the support of many Premier League giants.

Manchester United coach Ferguson, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, Chelsea coach Benitez and others all said that it is the most basic humanitarian need for players to play in a safe environment.

Even the Leeds United Club, which is still in the British Championship, came out to speak out and criticized the away game environment in Turkey. Before Leeds United was a guest in Turkey, their fans clashed with Turkish fans, and the Leeds United fans were stabbed to death.

It can be said that the enmity between the English club and Turkey is quite deep, and the experience of Aston Villa has resonated with many colleagues.

...

Three days later, in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Aston Villa played away against Luton, the fifth-tier English league team.

The opponent is a low-level league team with very weak strength.

Fang Jue made a substantial rotation of the team.

To be precise, none of the starting XI was the main player who played Galatasaray's game.

It was a start with an all-subs squad, with a number of youth and reserve players on the bench.

Fang Jue's "Koi" Kanter signed last year, and Glarish of the Aston Villa U19 youth team all appeared on the bench.

In the first half of the game, Vardy scored twice, Pogba made a pass and shot, and Aston Villa led by four.

In the second half of the game, Danny Rose made a cross from the wing, and the young England native central defender Stones scored a header and scored his first goal on behalf of Aston Villa.

Later, Fang Jue made substitution adjustments.

Guerreno was substituted and N'Golo Kante came off the bench to make his Aston Villa first-team debut.

"Fang, this young man is pretty good." Ceballos said happily.

Kanter, who made his first-team debut for the first time, was not stage frightened at all. This short black player played quite steadily.

Luton thought they could open a breakthrough from this unknown player, but Kanter completed three successful steals in less than ten minutes, and told the opponent with practical actions: This way is not going to work.

Eddie Gray, the Sky Sports commentator who explained the game, was also full of praise for Kanter, "N'Golo Kanter, the player Fang Jue signed from the French second team Boulogne last year, has been in the reserve team before. Playing football, this is Kanter's first team debut for Aston Villa, this young man is too mature and stable, Fang feels that this is another big treasure that has been discovered and cultivated."

Subsequently, Fang Jue replaced the Italian veteran Nesta with the youth training defender Ciron Clarke.

There is only one substitution left.

Glarish on the bench was obviously a little impatient. The young man looked around and looked at the head coach Fang Jue from time to time.

Finally, when the game lasted more than 70 minutes, Fang Jue signaled Grealish to warm up.

The young man couldn't wait to jump up, put on his vest, and hurriedly went to warm up.

"Warm up well, I don't want you to get injured after playing." Fang Jue shouted at the boy.

"Ah-hmm." Glarish was taken aback for a moment, then nodded happily. The coach's words meant that he was ready to play.

As a product of Aston Villa's youth training, a native of Birmingham can represent Aston Villa's first team. This is the dream of Grealish and many young people from the team's youth training since childhood.
