The Godfather of Football

Many people say that Ronaldinho is a magician on the court. He can often bring the most pleasing and unexpected magical performances to the fans, but in his heart, he feels more like an elf.

Maybe he is really talented, maybe he is really talented and creative, but all of this is based on his interest and love for playing football, otherwise, he would not have invested so much time in football since he was a child.

Some people think that football relies on talent, but Ronaldinho knows very well that football is always the result of talent and hard work, and the latter is undoubtedly more important than the former, because without the latter, no matter how good your talent is, it is in vain.

At least, in Brazil, Ronaldinho has seen many geniuses with more outstanding talents than him who ultimately failed to play.

Because of his interest and love, he always looks like a fish in water on the court. He likes to show his football skills casually and freely. He likes to play football with a smile. This is not just a statement in the promotional advertisement, but a kind of feeling for football from his heart.

Smiling means he is satisfied with the current situation and has a good attitude to show his skills.

So there is a saying in the football field that the most effective way to stop Ronaldinho is to stop him from laughing. A Ronaldinho who can't laugh will lose the biggest threat.

This is easy to say, but difficult to do, because there are not many defenders who can stop Ronaldinho. Sometimes even two defenders may not be able to stop him. So gradually, inevitably, some people want to adopt some lethal tactics to limit him.

In today's football world, almost all superstars have received such hospitality. In Ye Qiu's words, "They foul you because they can't stop you. You should be proud of it, but learn to protect yourself!"

So, when Ronaldinho was about to shoot, he saw Pepe rushing out from the side and a scissor kick of a shovel flew towards him. His first reaction was to hide, because Pepe's shovel was obviously out of control, and even he couldn't stop the momentum. If he didn't hide, he would definitely be kicked.

This is the favorite method of some players who advocate aggressive defense. They take some extreme life-and-death defensive actions, forcing you to either hide or get kicked. Most people choose the former because it is a conditioned reflex.

Ronaldinho also wanted to hide. He quickly retracted his raised foot and jumped up, but at this moment, Pepe's foot tripped his right instep, and then he felt that he flew out of control, passed Pepe, and then fell heavily on the grass in the penalty area.

It doesn't hurt to fall on the grass, so Ronaldinho's first reaction was dizziness, followed by anger.

I've already hidden you, and you deliberately raised your foot to trip me?

The Brazilian quickly got up from the ground, but when he wanted to use force with his right foot, a huge pain came from his right ankle, and then the whole person tilted and fell to the ground again. This time he felt the pain.

"Who is that damn guy? Fuck him!"

"You savage butcher, you're dead, don't expect to walk out of Stamford Bridge alive!"

"Fuck him, kill that Porto bastard!"

The Chelsea fans in the stands were furious when they saw their star player being tackled to the ground. They rushed out of their seats and roared in front of the railings. The Chelsea players immediately chased after him, obviously dissatisfied with Porto's rough style of play. At the same time, captain Terry also walked over to protest to the referee Sarr.

"I have every reason to believe that their defense is intentionally targeting my teammates' bodies. This is not the first time!" Terry protested to the referee Sarr almost in a roaring tone. If it was two years earlier, he would never protest, but would just rush up and do it, and kill these bastards!

"My teammate was obviously running for the ball. No one wants such an accident to happen!" Carvalho also came over to defend himself.

"Accident?" Terry was like a tiger, baring his teeth at Carvalho. "As a defensive player, I believe you know as well as I do that this is definitely not an accident. Do you dare to swear? Do you dare?"

Carvalho was speechless, he couldn't swear.

"I will handle this matter fairly, please calm down!" Sarr was very polite, but he comforted Terry in a more mechanical tone, then walked to Ronaldinho and asked about the Brazilian's situation. Inevitably, the Brazilian was carried out of the court again, and Ye Qiu on the sidelines walked up to understand the situation as soon as possible.

The referee Sarr called Pepe at this time, and the latter kept arguing that he did not commit an intentional foul, but reacted at the same time as Ronaldinho, and then he failed to stop his action in time, which led to the accident.

Sar seemed to believe what Pepe said, gave a verbal warning, and signaled the game to continue.

"Wow, the referee actually indicated that this was not a flagrant foul?" The on-site commentator was also puzzled by the referee Sarr's decision. "Oh my God, such an obviously brutal action was said not to be a foul?"

"Well, we can clearly see now that Mancini and Ancelotti's bloody accusations have obviously not affected the UEFA Disciplinary Committee's fair and just attitude towards the two teams in this game. Perhaps, we We will hear a new round of accusations from Ye Qiu after the game.”

Ye Qiu saw on the sidelines that the referee was unwilling to even play cards. In addition, he had just heard the news that Ronaldinho had injured his ankle and could no longer participate in the game. He immediately walked to the sidelines. He made his accusation on the spot against the referee who was not far away from him.

"Do you really think this is not a foul? Do you dare to come and take a look at the spike marks on the instep of my player?" Ye Qiu pointed at the referee and yelled, "Or, in your opinion, this is still not a foul. ? Are you fucking blind?"

Referee Sal walked towards Ye Qiu again, "Mr. Ye Qiu, I'm warning you for the last time, don't challenge the authority of the referee!"

"Do you know what you are doing?" Ye Qiu glared at Sal.

"I know very well!" Thrall stared back at him.

"Do you think this is your fairness and professional ethics?" Ye Qiu pointed at the referee uniform he was wearing and shouted.

Sal was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded: "Yes!"

"Then I'll take your mother's authority away!" Ye Qiu pushed the referee Sal away with all his strength. Without waiting for him to react, he turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel, because he knew very well what was waiting for him next. What would it be, but he had to do it.

If in this situation, he still chooses to be patient and does not dare to stand up and resist, it will only embolden his opponent's arrogance.

He cannot challenge the rules or the so-called authority, but he must stand up and defend himself and his players.

"Damn it, we won't play this kind of game!" Captain Terry was furious when he heard this. He ripped off the armband from his arm and threw it on the grass.

"Yes, we're not fighting, screw it, we're on strike!"

This scene immediately attracted the attention of Chelsea fans in the stands and the live broadcast camera. Referee Sal also realized that the problem was serious and immediately ran over and shouted at Chelsea, asking them to go back to the game.

"If you choose to strike, I believe you will know the final result very well!"

In 1991, when AC Milan challenged Marseille away from home in the top eight knockout rounds, the lights went out and the game was suspended. After resuming, Galliani instigated a collective strike by the players. In the end, UEFA ruled that Marseille won, and AC Milan and Galli Yanni was also suspended for one year.

This story immediately came to Ye Qiu's mind. He knew very well that if Chelsea went on strike, this would be the final result.

"Go back to the game!" Ye Qiu waved towards Terry and others. The players also realized the seriousness of the problem and had no intention of resisting Ye Qiu. No one knew how big a disturbance the strike would cause, and as a professional Players, they make a living by playing football. If their lives are affected by the strike, that is not what they want.

"Hey!" Ye Qiu waited until the players turned around one after another to return to the court, and suddenly called them.

"Don't let those bastards look down on us Chelsea, even if it's 11 versus 14, we'll still kill them!"

After hearing this, Terry and the players all nodded, "Understood, boss, you can watch the show in the stands!"

"Don't worry, Boss, we will help you get revenge!"

Referee Sal obviously had no way to deal with Ye Qiu, who had already been sent off the field with a red card. Is it possible that he could still send Ye Qiu out of the Stamford Bridge stadium? I'm afraid the president of UEFA has come in person, but he doesn't have the skills to do so!

"Black whistle! Black whistle!! Black whistle!!!"

The Chelsea fans in the stands were also angry. At Stamford Bridge, the French referee dared to be so reckless and so partial to Porto, who was playing away from home. This immediately aroused the anger of the home team fans.

Even Sacchi, the famous football legend who was responsible for commentating the live broadcast of this game, believed during the analysis, "Sar's whistle-blowing is indeed soft. Although the authority of the referee must be consolidated and maintained, it is so soft." His whistle-blowing has greatly encouraged Porto's aggressive play, which will definitely make Chelsea unhappy.

"And we should also note that UEFA has obviously condoned this more physical and confrontational style of play this season. Perhaps this has something to do with the discussion and attention caused by Greece winning the European Cup, but we It should also be noted that even Greece has never played with such aggressiveness and physical confrontation.”

After the game restarted, in less than a few minutes, Chelsea launched a crazy counterattack against Porto.

The referee seemed to have been affected by Ye Qiu's protest and strike. He started to be a little tough on the whistle and gave Porto a stern warning for several fouls. Costinha also received a yellow card for this.

Just when Chelsea couldn't attack for a long time, there was a commotion in the stands at Stamford Bridge. Ye Qiu, who had been sent off, appeared in the stands. He found a person very close to the home team in the middle of the podium. The fans took the initiative to give up their seats to him on the coaching bench so that he could sit here and direct the game.

Ye Qiu took out his mobile phone and called assistant coach Ten Cate, and then directed the game on the phone. This scene was naturally captured by the live camera. As a result, the mobile phone in Ye Qiu's hand was exposed again, and even became the protagonist, attracting everyone's attention.

"This is the mobile phone that was hyped by the media before. I don't know if it can bring good luck to Ye Qiu this time."

After Ronaldinho was injured and left the field, Ye Qiu was sent off. Ten Cate replaced Ronaldinho with Joe Cole, and still adopted the tactical play after the opening, but the effect was not very ideal. Once Mourinho played behind closed doors, his strength was indeed not to be underestimated. He did have his own unique defense.

Even though Ye Qiu made adjustments one after another, Chelsea still couldn't break Porto's goal in the first half.

According to UEFA regulations, after being sent to the stands, Ye Qiu had no way to enter the locker room again, unless it was after the game, and Ye Qiu was very dissatisfied with Joe Cole replacing Ronaldinho.

Now Porto is obviously shrinking. At this time, the most important thing for Chelsea is to play its own strategic width. It is useless to use Joe Cole, because Joe Cole still takes the inside route. He is not strong in the side breakthrough ability, so Ribery should be used as a winger with excellent one-on-one ability.

So Ye Qiu asked Ten Cate to make adjustments on the phone, using Deco, who was under Porto's strict control, to replace Rooney, Lampard retreated, Rooney moved to the middle, Joe Cole and Ribery moved more on the two wings, and launched more attacks from the side.

These adjustments made by Ye Qiu were immediately conveyed to the ears of the players during the halftime break. Ten Cate now truly felt the players' trust in Ye Qiu.

No matter how much he said in front of the players, the players were still half-believing and half-doubting, but when he said that Ye Qiu explained how to do this and that, the players immediately and consciously arranged tasks for themselves, and even took the initiative to negotiate with their teammates to discuss what responsibilities they should bear.

Chelsea is already a stable team. Ye Qiu has built a stable offensive and defensive system for the team in the past two years, so everyone knows a lot of things. As long as Ye Qiu points it out, they immediately know what to do.

For example, now, Ye Qiu said that they should actively play on the wing, and they immediately made arrangements. Maicon should make more forward runs to support Ribery in front, and Rooney should also lean to the right appropriately, so that he can attack Porto's flanks from behind and support Ribery and Maicon on the right.

In addition, the right side is the attack point, and the left side is mainly for support and back-up. After all, Joe Cole's personal attack ability is not strong and the speed is not fast enough. On the contrary, Evra on the left is more threatening, so Evra's back-up attack ability should be fully utilized.

Ten Cate stood aside, and he felt a little redundant, because the players were discussing enthusiastically, and only occasionally when they encountered a problem would they ask him, "What does the boss think about this point?" Then Ten Cate would hand over the phone and let them talk to Ye Qiu.

Facts have proved that Ye Qiu's tactical adjustment did play a key role in the second half.

When Mourinho was still thinking about how to limit Chelsea and what methods to use to stop Chelsea's attack, Ye Qiu's team played more actively in the second half than in the first half. Chelsea began to abandon the more control-oriented style of play in the first half and adopted a simpler, direct and effective offensive tactic.

Chelsea's two wing offensive capabilities are very strong. Whether it is the full-back Maicon and Evra, or Ribery, or even Joe Cole, they are very good at the wing and play very open. Once the defense is pulled apart by Chelsea, the local defensive force will have to face the danger of being diluted.

It's like a rubber band. When you don't pull it, it looks thick, but when you stretch it hard, it will become thinner. The longer it is stretched, the thinner it will be, and finally it will even break directly.

Chelsea finally got a chance in the second half. In the 58th minute, Joe Cole received a pass from Evra on the left and sent a straight pass to Gudjohnsen. The Icelander leaned on Jorge Costa and passed the ball back to Rooney who entered the penalty area from the right rib.

The English youngster got the ball near the penalty spot. Facing Carvalho who was pressing forward, Rooney cleverly pulled the ball to avoid the Portuguese, turned around and shot with his right foot, penetrating Baia's goal, 1:0!

After the goal, the entire Stamford Bridge stadium exploded completely!

"Damn Portuguese, come again if you dare!"

"Come on, come on, even if you have the referee to help, we will still beat you down!"

"Despicable Mourinho, do you dare to stand up like a man?"

The Chelsea fans in the stands were obviously angered by Porto's actions in the first half. They were not only angry at the referee, but also at Porto's aggressive tactical play. This made the Stamford Bridge fans in the stadium almost all point their celebrations at Porto after the team scored a goal and took the lead.

Not only the fans, but also the players were deliberately celebrating towards Porto to retaliate against their dissatisfaction with Porto.

Mourinho sat in the visiting team's coaching booth with a gloomy face, letting Chelsea's players run wildly in front of him. He didn't say anything, just looked ahead silently, with no expression.

No one knew what his mood was now. Maybe he was disappointed, because even if he tried everything, he still couldn't stop Chelsea from scoring. Or maybe he was not disappointed or surprised, because losing 1 goal away from home was not completely unacceptable to Porto.

On the contrary, it was the referee Sarr who shouted at Chelsea players like crazy after Chelsea players celebrated around him in a demonstrative manner, asking them to end the celebration as soon as possible and go back to restart the game early.

But who listened to him?
