Chapter 272 The Battle of Purgatory
tifo is a proper noun in the sports circle.

In fan culture, it refers to large banners or puzzles that can cover the stands, which are often used in important games and key battles, and are an important tool for fans to express their support for their clubs.

tifo is also an excellent shock weapon to deter the visiting team.

The giant jerseys, flags, puzzles, banners, portraits, etc. seen on the field can all be called tifos.

Many years ago, when people mentioned Turkish football, they always thought of a famous tifo.

The tifo that shocked the world had a huge slogan on it, and the bright red font looked like it was splashed with blood: "Wellcome to the hell!"

- "Welcome to Hell!".

This is the home stadium of Galatasaray Club, one of the traditional top three in the Turkish Super League. The famous slogan of Turk Telecom Stadium is also known as the "Devil's Home Stadium".

Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and the economic and industrial center of the entire country.

The population of the country is less than 8000 million, and Istanbul accounts for 1400 million.

Of the 18 Turkish Super League clubs, Istanbul has 5 of them.

Among them, the most famous are the "traditional top three" Galatasaray, Besiktas and Fenerbahce.

If Turk Telekom Stadium is "hell", then Turkey's largest modern stadium, nicknamed "Purgatory" Fenerbahce's home stadium Sarajoglu Stadium, has a frenzied and terrifying atmosphere that is even worse.

Sitting on the visiting team's bench, Li Liang could barely hear what Spignoli beside him was saying to him.

The huge drums, horns, and the neat and shocking shouts of fans who have not stopped since the beginning of the game made the whole stadium feel like a battlefield. The more than 500 Monaco fans who came to the stadium with the visiting team The sound has long been completely drowned out.

Li Liang couldn't calm down all the time, and his heartbeat became obviously faster.

He understands that this is the stress response that Spignoli said, who could remain indifferent under such a shocking home atmosphere? !

Although he didn't play, Li Liang's blood was already racing. He felt that he was also on the battlefield and would face the enemy's iron cavalry at any time.

Compared with Monaco, Fenerbahce is not superior in strength, and there are still many main players injured.

But amidst the tsunami-like cheers from the home fans, the 11 players on Fenerbahçe's field were extremely excited and imposing from the very beginning.

Only 4 minutes into the game, Sidibi was successfully broken by the opposing striker, Nigerian Emmanuel Emenech. Seeing that Emenech was about to rush into the penalty area, Dilar had no choice but to stretch out his hand and pull Emenech down. gram.

The referee showed Dilar a yellow card, and Fenerbahce won a free kick in an excellent position on the left side of the penalty area.

The free kick was taken by Fenerbahce's midfielder and the famous Brazilian star Diego Ribas da Cunha (commonly known as Diego).

Diego waited patiently for his team-mates to enter the Monaco penalty area, and Fenerbahce's two giant centre-backs were very eye-catching.

Li Liang could see clearly that one of them was the famous former Liverpool star Martin Skrtel from Slovakia with a height of 1 meters, and the other was the main central defender of the Danish national team, Simon Skrtel with a height of 91 meters. Kyar.

These two strong central defenders have an overall rating of 82, and other Fenerbahçe players are standing around them. Obviously, the coach is mainly based on their set-piece tactics.

Although the veteran Raj with an overall rating of 78 is also 1 meters tall, Monaco's defensive players seem to be unable to resist these two steel central defenders with obvious aerial advantages.

Diego started the run-up, and he hit a quick curveball to go straight to the front point.

Under the active cover of his teammates, Skrtel gained ample space for jumping. He jumped high and collided fiercely with the attacking De Sanctis!
DeSanctis struggled to catch the ball in the air, but Skrtel's impact knocked him off balance and landed him on the turf, where the ball bounced—

Kjaer, who was behind Skrtel, had sharp eyes and quick feet. He leaned on Raj, who was desperately stretching his feet to stop him, and got ahead of Sidiby, who was flying the tackle, and directly swept the ball into the goal!

There was a loud "boom" and the fans in the audience were boiling!
Li Liang's heart tightened like a blow to the head!
Kjaer was ecstatic and turned around and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate wildly, and the audience was full of joy!
Kjaer, who was running wildly, suddenly saw the semaphore of the linesman and immediately stopped and spread his hands with an incredible expression on his face. Other Fenerbahçe players also hugged their heads with their hands.

The referee decided that Skrtel hit the goalkeeper first and the goal was invalid.

Immediately there was a huge booing from the stands, the home fans roared and cursed, and all the Fenerbahçe players rushed to the referee to question him excitedly.

Jardim stood up suddenly——

Soon everyone on the bench stood up, and they watched the field nervously!

——Our goalkeeper De Sanctis has been lying in the small penalty area and has been motionless for a long time!
Mendy and Bakayoko, who were kneeling beside him, stood up and shouted at the referee, while beckoning desperately to the bench.

The referee who ran over just glanced at it and immediately whistled and waved. Two team doctors from Monaco rushed into the field.

After a simple inspection, the team doctor quickly got up and made a substitution gesture to Jardim.

Monaco suffered a heavy blow in the 4th minute of the opening, and De Sanctis was carried off the field on a stretcher.

The substitute goalkeeper, the 18-year-old French teenager Loic Badiasil, was ordered in a crisis, and he was about to be replaced before he even had time to warm up.

Li Liang was dumbfounded, this sudden occurrence that he had never experienced before made him feel at a loss.

But the blood rushed to the top of his head immediately, and he suddenly ran in front of Badiasil, who was hurriedly putting on his gloves: "Come on, Luwak!

We must protect our goal! "

After speaking, he gave the little goalkeeper a solid hug!

Silva also rushed over, and soon all the other substitute players ran over, slapping Badiashile on the back and grabbing his hands, all shouting to cheer him on!

Yardim, who was standing aside and watching this scene, remained motionless.

——At this moment, he firmly believes that compared with the dying Monaco team that was bloodbathed 5:8 at the Olympic Stadium in Lyon Park on May 6, this youth team in front of him has been completely reborn!

If they can be reborn from Nirvana in "Purgatory", this will be the most exciting start of the new season!
