Chapter 888 The racial talent of the Turkish team

After the UEFA Europa League, that is, all sixteen rounds of the Europa League, UEFA held a draw ceremony.

The opponents of the next round of eighth finals will be drawn.

Before the draw ceremony, those who hated Chen Yingxiong hoped that Liverpool would be drawn to Inter Milan, and the two heroes would fight, and then Liverpool would be eliminated by Inter Milan, Chen Yingxiong would never have the opportunity to speak out in front of them, making them sick.

But things backfired.

Liverpool did not draw Inter Milan.

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

Just talking about the strength comparison between the two sides, Besiktas is obviously not Liverpool's opponent.

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

What is the advantage of the Turkish team?

Really count.

Whether it is Besiktas, Galatasaray, or Fenerbahce, one of the most notable characteristics of Turkish teams is that their home court is very, very scary-this is their "racial talent".

There was once such a scene that can vividly explain what the atmosphere of the Turkish stadium is like-two Turkish teams played, and the visiting team players took a corner kick. All kinds of sundries were thrown from the stands, from lighters, coins to mobile phones, and some people even removed the seats and threw them down.

Even if such a situation happened in England and Italy, areas where football hooliganism and stadium violence are common, it would be regarded as a very big event.Maybe the referee will call the game over, the riot police will step in, and mass arrests will begin.

The pure football game has been polluted by the media's criticism of pitch violence and football hooliganism.

But in Turkey, in that game, not only the players, but even the referee turned a blind eye to it.

The only protection was about twenty heavily armed riot police with shields between the free throw shooters and the stands, but that still didn't stop the debris from raining down on the stands.

But the free throw player was very calm. He just picked up the sundries in the area where he set foot, threw them away, and then kicked the football out like the whole game.

In November 2003, on the same pitch, the England team and the Turkish team had a fight after the game. At that time, the Turkish player Alpayi laughed at Beckham, who missed a penalty kick, and beat him after the game. He was active in the fight and was fired by Aston Villa, the Premier League team he played for at the time.

In the 2005 World Cup qualifiers in Germany, Switzerland defeated Turkey in an away game to qualify for the World Cup in Germany.After the game, a large-scale brawl broke out between the two sides in the channel, and as a result, Switzerland, who was a guest, was outnumbered.Not only because their opponents are tough Turkic knights, but also Turkish riot police.The Turkish police beat them to death and threatened to "cut their throats". Many Swiss players were injured, and the most seriously injured was stepped on a vital part of the thigh, causing internal bleeding and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. And a catheter was inserted, knowing that the next day he was still urinating blood.His teammates were scared to cry.All Swiss players were beaten and frightened to varying degrees.

After this conflict, Sheffield United coach Warnock, who has coached ***, opened a column "Lessons of the Week" in the British "Independent". In response to this incident, he clearly stated at the beginning of the column : "Lesson number one, never take a team to Turkey without body armor and kung fu training."

He recalled the match between Switzerland and Turkey in this way: "Every time a free kick was taken, eight Turkish players rushed up and pushed the referee from different angles. The referee could not show a red card at all, because then the whole The Turkish team should all go away... I love Turkey, Istanbul is a wonderful city, but I don't want to take my team to play here. Maybe I should threaten my players like this: If you don't get promoted at the end of the season, then Let's go to Istanbul!"

The famous Irish legend Cascarino also wrote in the "Times": "The incident in Istanbul on Wednesday reminded me of the last time I played for the Irish team, which was the Euro 2000 play-off against Turkey. Players Both love excitement but when your heart beats faster because your life is in danger, that's another thing. The Turkish police are also part of the problem, they're not here to protect you, they're here to remind you that you It’s a foreigner, this is their country, and you are alone. A Swiss player is injured and hospitalized. Does FIFA have to wait until a player dies in Turkey before Fifa will impose severe sanctions?”

This incident aroused the anger of FIFA. It stands to reason that Turkey should show weakness, right?No!You all underestimate the madness of the Turks!

What is the home of hell?Hell's home field is a home field 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. Swiss players said that they were ready to be suspended, even if they could not participate in the World Cup for this reason, because "they can escape from Turkey." I've been lucky enough..."

Turkey reacted violently.Turkish media called Blatter a "disregard for human life" and called him a "rogue chairman".At that time, Turkey's head coach, Trim, was also in the provincial capital, and the international football community had a prejudice against Turkey: "We Turks must act in solidarity. They have a prejudice against the Turks. Even if nothing happens, the opponent will use this prejudice. Against Turkey."

The conflict even rose to a diplomatic dispute. Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Sahin issued a statement saying: "I cannot accept the practice of Turkey being singled out as the wrong party. I am sorry to hear that the international football team has not yet released the game report. He is speaking as a Swiss fan, not as a chairman." The Swiss foreign minister countered that the treatment of the Swiss team was "unacceptable".

In short, it is absolutely not surprising that a game triggers a diplomatic dispute in Turkey.

From these examples, everyone can more or less know what the atmosphere of the Turkish stadium is.

Any team from other parts of Europe will feel tremendous pressure when they come to Turkey to play. If their mental quality is poor, their legs may be weak and their state will be completely lost.Many teams, even if they are giants, would not want to play in Turkey.

Although we are always used to say that a certain stadium has a warm atmosphere and will cause great psychological pressure on the visiting team, it is "hell's home game" and "the devil's home game". But you must know that the source of this word is Turkey——1993 Manchester United away game against Turkey. During Latasaray, Galatasaray fans put up a very famous banner in the stands, writing: "Welcome to Hell!" Since then, the reputation of "Hell Stadium" has spread like wildfire and shocked people. worldwide.

Later, the Turkish team's home stadium continued to strengthen their concept and brand image of "hell home stadium" to the world.

Stabbings of Leeds United fans, stadium brawls, racism... all sorts of scandals have swirled around Turkey's pitches, for better or worse, and have become part of "the stadium from hell".

But now the word is overused, and many courses are not "hell" at all, not "devil" at all.The most authentic "hell's home court" and "devil's home court" only exist in Turkey.

Because you go to those other "hell courts" games, all you have to lose is a game win.And if you go to "Hell's Home" in Turkey, all you lose is your life...

Everyone is a professional player. Playing football is just like a worker going to work or a farmer farming. It is a job.

Since it's work, it's just food and drink, so you don't need to give your life, right?
Although Shankly said that "football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death", there is no need for us people to be martyrs.

Playing in a place where life may be lost, those European teams really can't cheer up...

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

What's more, Besiktas first hosts and then away. In order to solve their opponents at home, they will definitely give full play to their home court advantage!
Of course, Liverpool is not completely without a chance.

Liverpool once played against Besiktas in the UEFA Champions League group stage in 2007. At that time, Liverpool lost 1:2 to Besiktas away. After returning to their home court, Liverpool changed Besiktas. An 8:0!

So as long as Liverpool don't lose too much away games, they still have a chance to beat Besiktas when they return home.

The result of the draw can be said to satisfy both those who support Liverpool and those who hate Chen Yingxiong.

People who support Liverpool obviously feel that Liverpool is stronger than Besiktas, and passing the test is not a problem.Maybe after returning home, Liverpool can replicate the 2007-8 miracle in 0 on Besiktas. Can't Chen Yingxiong take the opportunity to score goals?It is not impossible to reach [-] goals in a game.

Those who hate Chen Yingxiong think that Beksitas can completely kill Liverpool at home. When Chen Yingxiong's fiery temper meets the fiery atmosphere of Hell's home court, maybe there will be some stories they like to hear... For example The hero clashed with the opposing player and was sent off by a red card. In this case, he would have no chance to complete his goal of [-] goals this season. Liverpool, which lost Chen Yingxiong, would also be eliminated by Besiktas .

This is simply a joy for everyone!
