The referee's whistle sounded, and the much-anticipated third round of the Champions League group stage finally started!
As two teams that are aiming for revival and hope to achieve a breakthrough in the European arena, the competition between Juventus and Atletico Madrid is particularly interesting.
In addition to the many stars of the two teams, the head coaches of the two teams are the focus of everyone's attention.
One is a young championship coach who led Juventus to win the domestic double last season.
One is a young Atletico Madrid star who returned to the team this season to lead the team to realize its rejuvenation aspirations.
One plays elegantly and passionately, while the other plays wildly and aggressively.
Such a collision between the two teams will definitely spark sparks.
From the first minute of this game, the two teams played as everyone expected - sparks flying.
Just ten minutes into the game, two Juventus players were taken off the field for medical treatment. Although there were no problems after the examination and they returned to the field, Yun Sheng on the sidelines was furious and defended Simeone twice.
"Diego! What are your players doing?! This is a football field, not a rugby field!"
"Man, don't worry, my players are within the rules of football and there is no excessive behavior."
"We've already had two players taken off the field! Isn't this too much?!"
"If my players move too much, the referee will definitely react, but they will not take the card."
Seeing Simone's triumphant look, Yun Sheng wanted to punch him.
However, Simeone's words make some sense. The referee's whistle was soft in this game, which is also a problem.
He went straight to the fourth official with a very serious expression: "Mr. Referee, two of our players have already fallen. Why hasn't the referee issued a card yet? This is an obvious foul. Is there any problem?"
The fourth official was young, and he frowned slightly: "Coach Yun Sheng, the referee naturally has his own judgment standards. Please respect the referee's decision."
Yun Sheng smiled coldly: "What have I said to disrespect you? Is there any problem if I put forward my personal opinion reasonably? Mr. referee, if my player is injured because the game situation is uncontrollable, I will definitely do it after the game. Appeal to UEFA!"
Looking at Yun Sheng with stern eyes in front of him, the fourth official became a little worried this time.
Although this young head coach may be younger than himself, he is already famous and has a transcendent status in European football. Especially since he is Chinese, he has a certain political influence. It is not worth offending him because of such a game.
Thinking of this, the fourth official put away his cold face and nodded with a smile: "Coach Yun Sheng, I respect your opinion. I will communicate with the referee now."
Yun Sheng didn't say anything, nodded and turned back to the coaching bench.
The fourth official told the referee about Yun Sheng's anger and situation through the wireless microphone, and soon the referee responded.
Two minutes later, Suarez tackled Ronaldinho who was dribbling the ball from the side. If the penalty was based on the previous penalty, the referee might have ignored it at all, but this time the referee blew the whistle and gave Suarez a yellow card!
At this time, Atletico Madrid players paid a little more attention.
The fourth official let out a sigh of relief. He glanced sideways at Yun Sheng in front of the visiting team's coaching bench. He saw Yun Sheng standing motionless on the sidelines, staring in the direction of the court with a burning gaze.
He should be satisfied with this kind of penalty scale...
At this time, Speed and Cannavaro, who were behind Yun Sheng, looked at each other. They breathed a sigh of relief and secretly admired Yun Sheng in their hearts.
With just a few words of negotiation with the fourth official, the penalty scale on the court suddenly changed. Sir, you are really awesome!
Looking in the direction of the court, Yun Sheng suddenly became distracted.
He recalled the time when he was still coaching in Germany. It was the 2007-08 season. He had just become the head coach of Cottbus and was coaching a Bundesliga team for the first time. In this case, every time he encountered an unfair penalty from the referee, he did not even have the right to make any suggestions. Assistant coach Sandel was sent to the stands as soon as he gave his opinion.
At that time, Sandel also criticized Yun Sheng, saying that Yun Sheng was too timid and did not dare to argue with the referee.
But Yun Sheng knew very well that at that time, others were speaking softly, so what could he do if he argued with the referee?
There are two consequences, either if you say it, it means you didn't say it, or else you will be sent to the stands.
Just like a rookie who has just entered the workplace, although he is unhappy, he has to endure it in many situations, even if he doesn't want to. Maybe if a game is sent to the stands, that game will be lost, and Cottbus's double-championship miracle will cease to exist.
But things are different now. Yun Sheng has become the best young champion coach in the world. He has won 12 championships in four years since his debut, and has also become the youngest Champions League champion coach. Football Federation or FIFA, who wouldn’t take a high look?
The Yuntian Company behind Yunsheng is huge, and coupled with his Chinese nationality background, it makes him quite influential in the European government.
Therefore, on the sidelines of the court, let alone making formal comments, even if Ferguson and Mourinho quarreled with the referee and the fourth official, no one dared to touch him easily.
This is Yunsheng’s super influence!
Everything depends on performance. Only good results can be influential.
The game continued. As the referee's penalty scale continued to increase, although Atletico Madrid moderately adjusted the intensity of the fouls, Juventus was still uncomfortable with the tough style of play.
Especially top technical players such as Del Piero, Pirlo and Ronaldinho are always violated intentionally or unintentionally by the opponent when they collide with their opponents.
However, as a technical player, Raul's performance in this game was more iron-blooded.
Just because today's opponent is Atletico Madrid, his former rival in the same city.
In fact, Raul has very complicated emotions about the team in front of him.
As the banner of Real Madrid, Raul has a transcendent status in the Galacticos, but for him, Atletico Madrid will always be the unavoidable team in his heart.
In addition to the fact that the two teams are rivals in the same city, there is another reason, that is, Raul once came from the Atletico Madrid youth training camp.
Because the family is a supporter of Atletico Madrid, Raul's father sent his son to Atletico Madrid's youth training camp very early.
But in 1992, Atletico Madrid owner Hill disbanded the entire youth team in order to save money.
Later, Hill's son recalled: "It will be eternal pain for my father to let Raul go."
Since then, Raul has completely become a die-hard supporter of Real Madrid, joined the Real Madrid youth training camp, and started a white life.
As luck would have it, things are unpredictable. The once talented captain of Atletico Madrid's youth team has become the captain of the city's rival Real Madrid. Football is like life, full of countless possibilities and unknowns...
