Chapter 920: Aftermath of the 213th Match

With one man less, the head coach was sent off. It seemed that Trapani's situation was not very good. Mourinho also tentatively began to move his formation forward, trying to suppress Trapani's attack with the advantage of numbers, but this idea was only implemented for about 5 minutes, because Trapani's players had a kind of momentum on the court. One less person seemed to be more than one person. Real Madrid's formation moved forward, which allowed Trapani to seize the opportunity. Within 5 minutes, Messi and Kaka got two excellent opportunities respectively, but God's arrangement was so wonderful.

In this game, God did not let them be the savior, and two excellent opportunities were missed again!

Mourinho saw this posture and dared not fight hard. For him, the two rounds of the game cannot be separated. In the first 90 minutes, Real Madrid did not have the advantage of time, place and people, and it was enough to get 0:0. As for eliminating the opponent, for him, whether it was an away goal, a home win, an overtime elimination or a penalty elimination, it was actually the same.

In his opinion, the important thing in these two rounds is to remain patient and not be fooled by illusions. Patience is needed to deal with opponents who are stronger than oneself.

So Mourinho quickly adjusted back, intending to keep a draw in Trapani. This tactic really made Ronaldo very angry. He pressed like crazy in the frontcourt, but he had few helpers, and Benzema retreated deeper than him.

The assistant coach of Trapani had already received Wenger's instructions. With one less person, it might be easy for Trapani to win. As long as Real Madrid has the intention to attack, Trapani can win. But if the opponent does not change the tactical strategy, then Wenger's instructions are to get a 0:0 game, which is still good and within an acceptable range.

Trapani still lacks luck. The goal never came. When the 90-minute game ended, the two sides stood at 0:0 at the Google Stadium. The second round was Real Madrid's home court, which was obviously more favorable to them.

The score of this game is no longer important. What is important is Weber's obvious misjudgment, or it should be said that it was a misjudgment of the referee team.

"I am 100% sure that it was a penalty. I don't want to discuss the referee too much!" Messi was upset. When facing the camera, he first criticized himself because he did waste good opportunities. Then when he was asked about the penalty, he simply concluded that it was 100% a penalty. There was no doubt about his tone.

"The referee ruined our game. We have done a good job from the beginning of the game to now! But sometimes the referee will bring us disaster!" Captain Kameni did not have so many taboos and directly criticized the referee.

This matter is actually very clear. Italian media reporters have known the truth for a long time, so they mostly used words such as misjudgment, error, and missed judgment in the interview, with affirmative meanings, while some foreign media reporters, including UEFA official reporters, used suspected penalties to describe the penalty incident.

The person involved, Ramos, did not accept the interview of reporters at all and ran away early, which made those reporters regretful.

…

According to the agreement, the senior executives of the two clubs had a dinner after the game, hosted by Hugo, but Hugo was in no mood for that. After the game, Hugo called Platini and left the stadium directly. As for the dinner, Kenyon and his team had to do it for him.

One of the think tanks of the old man came up with an idea, saying that we can protest to UEFA, protesting that the senior executives of the Trapani club put pressure on the referee team on the field and interfered with the game, and maybe we can take down Trapani without bloodshed.

The old man said coldly: "This matter ends here. We have taken advantage of it, and we are still adding insult to injury. What kind of words is this? It is not good for us to offend them!"

When Kenyon took the initiative to apologize to the old man on behalf of Hugo for not fulfilling the agreement to have dinner together, the old man knew that Hugo was really angry this time.

Hugo calmed down a lot. He called Platini not to question him, but to complain. After calming down, everyone knew that if the misjudgment on the field was not corrected on the spot, it would only be there and there would be no change.

"Gigi, I sympathize with your experience! But you know that misjudgment is not what we all expect, but since there are human factors, misjudgment is inevitable. The only thing I can guarantee is that we are fair and reasonable! Weber is also a good referee, but he is also a human being!" Platini patiently explained to Hugo.

It was an inexplicable phone call. Hugo himself didn't know what he wanted to get. This was probably the legendary venting.

The next day, the misjudgment incident caused an uproar. The media fiercely criticized the referee team on duty, but all this could not save Trapani's losses. Even if there was a reason, UEFA also launched an investigation into Fontano and Wenger. It can be foreseen that suspension is necessary.

Hugo is very rich, but in front of some power institutions, money and connections may not play a big role, because this is related to the authority of the institution, such as UEFA. Even if Platini wants to help Hugo and wants to reduce the impact of this incident on the Trapani club, he must also have the authority of UEFA.

Hugo could only find a way to mitigate some of the losses. Under pressure from public opinion and the UEFA Executive Committee, the UEFA Referee Committee had to admit in public that "that ball was indeed a penalty kick. Weber and his assistants made a serious misjudgment!"

The referee committee will not give in easily. It was able to give in this time thanks to Hugo's extensive contacts and money. Many big players in European football clubs are speaking for Hugo. Rummenigge said: "I don't want to discuss it. In this game, I just want to say that the quality of referees needs to be improved and human misjudgments should be reduced! I support Hugo on this matter and sympathize with Trapani. They should not pay more for this game. What a price!”

Under this strong pressure, the UEFA Disciplinary Committee also made a penalty decision in favor of Trapani. Fontano and Wenger were suspended for one game, and Wenger was fined 20,000 euros, but Neither will receive additional suspensions.

According to Hugo's ultimate goal, he definitely hopes that the disciplinary committee will revoke the red card, but this is obviously unlikely to be achieved. Suspension for only one game is considered the best result. The impact of Fontano's absence may not be great. , but Wenger's absence in the second round would be extremely detrimental to Trapani's away trip.

So Hugo was very unhappy and dissatisfied. He once again attacked Weber and UEFA in a TV interview, scolding UEFA for being too bureaucratic, and Weber was a black-hearted referee, possibly a Real Madrid fan.

Weber also had a difficult time. After the incident came out, he never expressed his opinion despite the warning of the referee committee. He should be lucky that he is a British guy. If he were in Italy, he would probably be beaten on the street.

Platini could only laugh after hearing Hugo's scolding. As for a sensible person like Lafayette, as an opponent, he has already taken advantage, so naturally he will not take advantage and act like a good boy. The interesting thing is Mourinho, This guy doesn't know what he thinks. He actually publicly stated that Wenger should not be punished.

"I support Wenger, he has been treated unfairly! The referee's job is very important, sometimes they can ruin a game!"

Because he supported Wenger, the reporter asked again. Since you said you supported Wenger, did you mean that Real Madrid stole a draw from Trapani? !

After the first round, Mourinho said during an interview on the sidelines at Google Stadium that Real Madrid deserved a draw. How could reporters get involved now? !

He said calmly: "I just support Mr. Wenger. This has no necessary connection with the game. I have already answered it. We performed very well and we deserve a draw!"
