Chapter 037 The stain on Henry’s life

The Barcelona players were miserable. The originally one-hour and 15-minute flight took them five hours.

In the 11th round of La Liga, Barcelona, ​​which is located on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, needs to go to Bilbao, a city on the northeastern Atlantic coast, to challenge Athletic Bilbao. Originally, the club planned to arrive by plane in the morning, take a brief lunch break, adapt to the venue, then start playing in the evening, and return immediately after playing.

Three days later there will be a life and death battle with Inter Milan in the Champions League, and that one is the highlight.

However, when the whole team arrived at the airport excitedly, they were told that due to the impact of the sixth Atlantic tropical storm this year, Bilbao Airport was temporarily closed and flights going there would have to wait for a while. The wait lasted for two hours, and everyone was already feeling very tired when they got into the cabin.

In the Pacific, it's called a typhoon, in the Atlantic it's called a hurricane, and if it's slightly weaker than a hurricane, it's called a tropical storm. In fact, the center of this tropical storm is quite far away from Spain, and it is basically aimed at the British Isles. Bilbao Airport is being cautious. Their tower system is a bit old and they don't want to take risks.

Therefore, with this caution, the entire Barcelona team hovered in the sky for another hour or so. Everyone was exhausted from being trapped in the narrow cabin. When they were finally allowed to land, Zhuo Yang walked out of the airport with a slanted nose and a crooked mouth. It starts in an hour.

Barcelona requested a one-hour postponement of the kick-off, but the Football Association, Bilbao and Bilbao fans unanimously rejected it. So, as soon as the exhausted Barcelona entered the San Mamés Stadium, known as the "Hell's Home Stadium", they started an emergency warm-up amidst the boos in the sky.

.

Before setting off here, the dust has settled on the two international match days, and all 32 passes for the World Cup in South Africa have been awarded.

In the play-offs between Asia and Oceania, Australia defeated its old neighbors 1:0. In fact, this was still an Oceania qualifier. New Zealand said it was helpless. Some enemies were destined to be enemies, and they could not be escaped just by trying to hide.

In the South American and CONCACAF play-offs, Uruguay struggled to eliminate Costa Rica 1:0 and 1:1. Diego Forlan, the top scorer in La Liga last season, finally did not miss his contract with South Africa.

The most exciting competition is still in Europe, where eight teams fight in pairs, with bloodshed.

Cristiano Ronaldo is still injured, but Portugal did not give up, killing Bosnia and Herzegovina 1:0. After the departure of the troll Gomez, Madibo's double center forwards Dzeko and Ibisevic tried their best but failed to unseat Portugal. However, it was Bosnia and Herzegovina's 19-year-old midfield rookie Pjanic that attracted everyone's attention. He is now the main midfielder for Lyon in Ligue 1.

Russia was eliminated by Slovenia 2:1 and 0:1 on away goals.

Tsar Arshavin and Bacchus Zhirkov looked helplessly at their old teammate Handanovich. Dionysus went to Chelsea for 19 million pounds this season, and he and Scar Ribery continue to be a good partner in tandem.

The 25-year-old Samir Handanovic is now Slovenia's main goalkeeper. His substitute is his 30-year-old cousin Smin Handanovic, who is the goalkeeper of Mantua in Serie B.

The 33-year-old captain Dras led Greece to defeat Ukraine 1:0 in an away game. Shevchenko, who is the same age as Rock, had nothing to do in front of him. Although Dras has gradually faded out of the main lineup of Madibo this season, he is still the captain of Madibo and his sword is still young.

Qi Jesus was a substitute in both games and watched his team lose their ticket to South Africa. Zhuo Yang comforted him and said, "It's all your fault for that idiot coach of yours. Why doesn't he let you start?"

The Ukrainian head coach is not an idiot. Miharichenko was still very good when he was playing football.

The most controversial match occurred between France and Ireland. In the first round at Croke Stadium in Dublin, the French team defeated Ireland 1:0 with Anelka's goal in the 72nd minute.

Four days later, the two teams moved to the Stade de France in Paris. Robbie Keane's goal in the 23rd minute of the first half tied the two teams with a total score, and the away goals were the same. This score remained until the end of the 90-minute game. In the 88th minute, French coach Domenech replaced Gourcuff with Ribery, who had returned from injury.

In the first half of February, Scar was severely frustrated by Manchester United's Brazilian midfielder Anderson in the Premier League. It took him eight months to recuperate before starting recovery training. He has now been substituted twice by Ancelotti, but he The game feeling and condition are obviously not there yet, which is normal.

Scar is very good. He was injured in the 28th round last season, but at the end of the season, he tied with Gerrard for third place in the scorer list with 16 league goals. Anelka 19 and Ronaldo 18 were ahead of him. So even though his condition has not fully recovered, Domenech still couldn't wait to recruit him into his account. Scar's injury is also one of the important reasons why the French team stumbled in the qualifying rounds.

Anderson is even worse than Scar. The latest news is that he will be completely reimbursed this year, and he will have to wait until next year after the winter break at the earliest.

After Scar came on the field, he had no outstanding performance, but he created an opportunity for France with a sharp high-speed push from the middle in the 117th minute of overtime.

Scar shook off his Chelsea team-mate Duff, forcing O'Shea to pull him to the ground and France were awarded a free-kick. Scar took the penalty himself. He swung the football high and pointed backwards to Henry who was offside. Henry stopped the ball with his left foot, then fell to the ground and shoveled the pass with his right foot. Because it was at the back post, Gallas header in front of the goal picked up an empty goal.

However, when Henry stopped the ball with his left foot, it stopped in his hand.

Although Henry is an honest man, he is also an old man who has been in the football world for more than ten years. He showed a happy and confident look at the first moment, which deeply confused the referee. He persisted despite the strong protests of the Irish people. The penalty goal is valid.

Five minutes later, the game ended, France defeated Ireland 2:1. After the game, the media exploded. Henry's handball was invisible in slow motion. Old Henry took the blame for France.

After the game, Henry faced the media and frankly admitted that it was a handball. However, when the media asked him why he didn't take the initiative to explain to the referee, Henry avoided answering. To be honest, such a request was too harsh on Henry under such circumstances.

The French took advantage of them and behaved, and they all evaded their words and refused to answer directly. No one helped Henry face the pressure from the media. Only Scar stood up and said a loud and clear sentence: Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you are not convinced, play again!

Zhuo Yang, who was far away in Barcelona, ​​gave his brother a thumbs up: Cai! Scar has a talent!

Ireland also requested a replay, but FIFA and UEFA were in trouble. How to rematch? Starting from the 117th minute or the 91st minute? Or start from scratch?

And this kind of precedent cannot be set, otherwise it will be difficult for referees to work in the future, and they will be clamored for a rematch if they make a mistake.

After Henry returned to Barcelona, ​​he also expressed his willingness to rematch, but no one responded, so this ball became the biggest stain in Henry's life.

It is said that FIFA later spent 5 million euros to silence the Irish Football Association. After all, France is much more important than Ireland in terms of football value and commercial value, and the importance is many 5 million euros more.

The Six Musketeers finally gathered for the World Cup for the first time. When the brothers were discussing in the group who might reach the top next year, the five bad guys finally said in unison: China!

Zhuo Yang said: Don't just talk about it. If any of you bump into me next summer and ask me to push you down again, where will you put your face when you see me?
