Zidane: "He should not have received a second yellow card, let alone an additional suspension from UEFA. Regarding his research on tactics, I hope to communicate with him when I am free."
Portugal's King Figo: "I bear a lot of responsibility for the inhumane and unfair treatment received by Sporting Lisbon at Camp Nou. I hope that Barcelona fans will direct their grievances at me and not affect the young people of Portugal. "
"This is a wonderful game of historical level. The performance of outstanding young people such as Deng Kai and Quaresma allows me to see the future of Portugal. I eagerly hope that they will continue to grow. I am waiting for them in the national team!"
Mr. Moratti, President of Inter Milan Football Club: "We were eliminated by Sporting Lisbon. I hated this team. But in their game against Barcelona, I saw our shadow."
"Sporting Lisbon, like Inter Milan, suffered a clearly unfair penalty. I support Sporting Lisbon's rights protection, and I also support Deng Kai's actions. If he is at San Siro, he will become a hero to the fans!"
Matthaus, Mr. Germany’s Ballon d’Or: “I’m just a fool…Barcelona are just a bunch of dogs****…Gandur is simply a pervert…if UEFA does nothing , those damn congressmen all gave birth to sons without ****..."
It can be seen that Matthäus, as a participant in the game, is more excited.
Not only that, someone recorded a "confession" about Barcelona player Simao to his friends:
"The penalty I made? No, no, no, that was not a penalty. As a player, my professional ethics prevented me from admitting that it was a penalty..."
"Pepe made a perfect defense, he poked the ball away early. My fall had nothing to do with him... But I can't say that, as a Barcelona player, I shouldn't have said this at the time."
"I tried to go to the referee to explain, but Guardiola reminded me that it was a penalty that belonged to the whole team, not just me. I can't ruin a game that belongs to Barcelona just because of my own sense of morality. "
"You know how important that penalty was for us at the time. Without that penalty, the game might have been over in the first half. Sporting Lisbon played so well that day and we couldn't stop them."
"In fact, it's not just my penalty kick. There is also a big problem with Overmars' penalty kick. Everyone saw it. He was at least half a meter away from the penalty area, and Barzagli did not foul. "
"Including Gerrard's handball... This is why as Barcelona players, we were collectively silent after the game. Even if the fans don't admit it, there are some truths that we have to admit."
There's no doubt that Simao's recording caused a stir.
Although this cannot be used as evidence, this kind of heartfelt private conversation is more real.
The situation gradually fermented.
UEFA's "operation" of the competition in recent years has caused dissatisfaction among many people.
In addition, they are restructuring many competitions, and most people will subconsciously reject the changes.
Therefore, Sporting Lisbon's wave of complaints is close to an uprising.
European football is facing its biggest turmoil in a decade.
UEFA has faced its biggest crisis since its establishment.
They held five consecutive meetings, lasting three days and three nights, and finally made a decision on related issues such as the second leg of the UEFA Cup Sporting Lisbon vs. Barcelona match.
UEFA President Lennart Johansson personally read out the verdict in front of hundreds of media outlets.
The judgment was so detailed that it took half an hour to read.
Almost everyone except Barcelona fans applauded the verdict.
As part of the verdict, Maxa was banned from five UEFA competitions and fined 3,000 euros for criticizing UEFA and the fairness of the game.
The second content of the judgment is that there is no problem with the yellow cards and red cards for Marquesa, Triguera, Pepe and other Sporting Lisbon players, and the original judgment is upheld. Pepe was suspended for two additional games on top of his red card suspension due to malicious actions on the pitch.
As soon as these two penalties came out, Sporting Lisbon fans were about to explode.
But many people in front of the TV know that Sporting Lisbon should have won this appeal.
In other words, in history, a team finally succeeded in appealing to UEFA.
Pepe's red card and others' yellow cards were either a sure thing or inconsequential.
Sporting Lisbon's appeal in this regard has only one purpose, and that is to lose some remaining face to UEFA.
And UEFA is also very sensible and follows the trend.
Because the content of the third judgment that followed was... After review, Deng Kai's second yellow card was a misjudgment. The players' celebration did not involve any violation including provoking fans, so it was cancelled.
However, Deng Kai's remarks about UEFA and the game after the game should be punished.
Therefore, Deng Kai will be suspended for three games next season.
This piece of content made Sporting Lisbon rejoice, and the resentment caused by the first two pieces of content was wiped away.
Not to mention banning Maxa for five games, fifty games is fine.
Maxa:? ? ?
Pepe is an important rotation player for the team. Not to mention his suspension, even if the team's starting players are suspended, Sporting Lisbon can bear it.
But Deng Kai's suspension will not work.
After many tests this season, everyone has discovered that Deng Kai is the only true core of this team. It would be impossible without him.
Now Deng Kai can appear in the UEFA Cup final, which is the biggest concession UEFA has ever made.
The lamentation of Sporting Lisbon finally defeated the darkness of UEFA.
In response, Barcelona fans made crazy complaints on major social platforms.
"This is the darkest day in the history of European football! UEFA made a wrong decision!"
"UEFA must have been under pressure from China, otherwise there would be no such outrageous ruling!"
"I have no objection to revoking Deng Kai's second yellow card, but why does the additional three-game suspension not take effect until next season?"
"Darkness! Too dark! Our innocent Barcelona has suffered the greatest injustice in the history of the UEFA Cup!"
"UEFA must give us an explanation! Why are Pepe and Maxa suspended directly, but Deng Kai can play in the UEFA Cup final?"
"Even if superstars such as Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo, Rivaldo, Beckham, and Bergkamp are suspended in the semi-finals, they will not be able to participate in the final. This is a rule that everyone knows, no People can compete.”
"This is the reason why many famous players miss the most important games of their lives, but now this rule is broken in front of Deng Kai."
"UEFA's move will bring shame to the whole of European football."
