Chapter Ninety-Five: The Racial Talent of the Turkish Team (Second Shift Monthly Pass)

After all 16 of the Europa League finals, the Europa League, UEFA held a draw ().

The two opposing sides of the next round of quarter-finals will be drawn.

Before the draw ceremony, those who hated Chen Yingying hoped that Liverpool would draw Inter Milan and fight between the two heroes, and then Liverpool was eliminated by Inter Milan, and Chen Yingying never had a chance to make a big fuss in front of them and make them sick.

But it backfired.

Liverpool didn't draw Inter.

Their opponent is a Turkish team that is not strong or weak - Besiktas.

Speaking of the comparison of the strength of the two sides, Besiktas is clearly not Liverpool's opponent.

But Besiktas has an advantage, and that is that they are a Turkish team.

What are the advantages of the Turkish team?

It's true.

Whether it's Besiktas, Galatasaray or Fenerbahce, one of the most striking features of Turkey's teams is that their home stadium is very, very terrifying – and that's their "racial talent".

There was once a scene that illustrates the atmosphere of the Turkish stadium - two Turkish teams played, and the away team players went to take a corner kick, and the corner flag area was like hail, all kinds of debris thrown from the stands, from lighters, coins to mobile phones, and even some people removed the seats and threw them down.

Even in England and Italy, where there is a high incidence of football hooliganism and stadium violence, it would be considered a very remarkable event. Maybe the referee will announce the end of the game, the riot police will step in, and then the mass arrests will begin.

With the media beginning to lash out at stadium violence and football hooliganism, the pure sport of football has been polluted.

But in Turkey, in that game, not only the players, but also the referee ignored it.

The only protection was about twenty heavily armed riot policemen with shields between the penalty takers and the stands, but that still did not stop the debris from raining down from the stands.

However, the penalty taker behaved very calmly, he just talked about picking up the debris in the area where he was trolling, throwing it away, and then kicking the football out like the whole game.

In November 2003, England and Turkey got into a post-match brawl on the same pitch, when Turkey's Alpayi was expelled by Aston Villa, the Premier League side he played for, for mocking David Beckham for missing a penalty during the game and for being active in the post-match brawl.

In the 2005 World Cup qualifiers in Germany, Switzerland defeated Turkey away from home to qualify for the World Cup in Germany. After the game, a massive brawl broke out in the tunnel, and the visitors were outnumbered. And not only because their opponents were fierce Turkic knights, but also the Turkish riot police. The Turkish police killed them and threatened to "cut their throats", and several Swiss players were injured, the most serious of which was stepped on the vital part of the thigh, causing internal bleeding and was rushed to the hospital for treatment, and a urinary catheter was inserted, knowing that he was still urinating blood the next day. His teammates were all scared and cried. All the Swiss players were beaten and frightened to varying degrees.

After this conflict, Warnock, the head coach of Sheffield United, who had coached Hao Haidong, opened a "Weekly Lessons" column in the British newspaper "The Independent", and in response to this incident, he clearly stated at the beginning of the column: "The first lesson, if you don't have protective armor and kung fu training, you should never take the team to Turkey ()." ”

Here's how he recalls the Swiss-Turkey match: "For every free-kick, eight Turkish players rushed up and shoved the referee from different angles. The referee couldn't show a red card at all, because then the whole Turkish team would have to go off...... I love Turkey, Istanbul is a wonderful city, but I don't want to bring my team here to play. Maybe I should threaten my players like this: If you don't get promoted at the end of the season, then we will go to Istanbul! ”

Irish legend Cascarino also wrote in The Times: "Wednesday's events in Istanbul reminded me of the last time I played for Ireland, which was the Euro 2000 play-off against Turkey. Players love the excitement, but when your heart beats faster because your life is at stake, it's a different story. The Turkish police are also part of the problem, they are not here to protect you, but to remind you that you are a foreigner, this is their country, and you are alone. If a Swiss player is injured and hospitalized, does it have to wait until a player dies in Turkey for FIFA to impose severe sanctions? ”

This incident has caused the wrath of FIFA, and it stands to reason that the Turkish side should show weakness, right? No! You all underestimate the madness of the Turks!

What is Hell Home? The home of hell is the home stadium that even FIFA can't clean up!

FIFA President Sepp Blatter issued a strongly worded statement saying that Turkey and Switzerland would be severely punished, and the Swiss players said they were ready to be banned, even if they did not participate in the World Cup, because "they were lucky enough to be able to escape from Turkey......

The Turkish side reacted violently. Turkish media called Blatter a "rogue chairman" and called him a "rogue chairman". Turkey's head coach at the time, Trim, was also a provincial city, and the international football community was biased against Turkey: "We Turks have to act in solidarity, they are biased against the Turks, and even if nothing happens, the opponent will use this bias against Turkey." ”

The conflict even escalated into a diplomatic dispute, with Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Shaheen issuing a statement: "I cannot accept Turkey being singled out as the party at fault." I regret to hear such a statement from the FIFA president that he is speaking as a Swiss fan and not as a president when the match report has not yet been released. The Swiss foreign minister said that the treatment of the Swiss team was "unacceptable".

In short, it is absolutely not surprising that a match has caused a diplomatic dispute in Turkey.

※※※

From these examples, you can get a sense of what kind of atmosphere is in the stadium in Turkey.

Any team from the rest of Europe who comes to play in Turkey will feel a lot of pressure, and if the mental quality is a little worse, it may be directly weak and out of form. Many teams, even if they are giants, will not want to play in Turkey.

Although we are used to saying that a certain stadium has a warm atmosphere, it will cause a lot of psychological pressure on the away team, that is, "hell's home" and "devil's home", but you must know that the source of this word is Turkey - in 1993, when Manchester United played Turkey's Galatasaray away, Galatasaray fans unfurled a very famous banner in the stands, which read: "Welcome to hell!" Since then, the fame of "Hell's Stadium" has spread far and wide, shaking the world.

Since then, the Turkish team's home stadium has continued to reinforce their concept and brand image as "hell's home stadium" to the world.

Leeds United fans stabbed to death, stadium brawls, racist ...... All sorts of scandals surround Turkey's stadiums, for better or worse, and have become part of the "home of hell".

But nowadays, the word is overused, and many stadiums are not "hell" at all, not "devilish" at all. The most authentic "home of hell" and "home of the devil" only exist in Turkey.

Because you go to those other "hell stadiums" to play, you may lose a game win. And if you go to Turkey's "hellish home" game, you may lose your life......

Everyone is a professional footballer, and playing football is just like a worker going to work and a farmer farming.

Since it's work, it's just a mess of food, so you don't have to pay for your life, right?

Although Shankly said that "football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death", but there is no need for us to be martyrs.

Playing where there is a risk of losing their lives, those European teams really can't keep up the spirit......

So with that in mind, Liverpool's draw of Besiktas is not a weak team.

Moreover, Besiktas will play home and away first, and in order to solve the opponent at home, they will definitely give full play to the home advantage!

Of course, Liverpool are not entirely without opportunities.

Liverpool once played Besiktas in the 2007 Champions League group stage, when Liverpool lost 1:2 away to Besiktas, but after returning to their home stadium, Liverpool replaced Besiktas 8:0!

Therefore, as long as Liverpool don't lose too much away from home, they still have a chance to beat Besiktas back home.

The result of this draw can be said to be very satisfactory to both those who support Liverpool and those who hate Chen Yingying.

Liverpool's supporters obviously feel that Liverpool's strength is higher than Besiktas, and it is not a problem to pass. Maybe after returning to the home stadium, Liverpool can replicate the 8:0 miracle in 2007 on Besiktas, won't Chen Yingying take the opportunity to brush the goal? It's not impossible to score 20 goals in a game.

And those who hate Chen Yingying think that Beckitas can completely kill Liverpool at home, and when Chen Yingying's fiery temper meets the hot atmosphere of hell's home stadium, maybe there will be some stories they like to toss...... For example, if the hero clashes with the opposing player and is sent off the game with a red card, then he will not have a chance to complete his goal of 20 goals this season, and Liverpool, who lost Chen Yingying, will also be eliminated by Besiktas.

It's a joy for everyone!。
