20 12 European Cup opener was held in Warsaw, Poland.
In the early morning of the 9th, the opening match of the 20 12 European Cup was held in Warsaw, Poland. The opening game was exciting, and the red card added a little ball. This is a dramatic opening game, and the director of this play is Spanish referee Belasco. Greek defender sokratis papastathopoulos was sent off for two consecutive yellow cards. In the second half, Polish goalkeeper szczesny was shown a red card and given a penalty for breaking the opponent's single-handedly, and sokratis papastathopoulos's two yellow cards undoubtedly caused great controversy in this game.
"Belasco inherited the disastrous glorious tradition of Spanish referees in the competition. Spanish football is very high, and the referee is very sorry. Belasco humiliated the world champion. " Sandy Jimenez of AS wrote in the article.
As we all know, any football match will be eligible to participate in controversial events of different scales. No matter which team may be the beneficiary, it may also be the victim at any time. When it comes out, it will always be returned! There is suspense in football, and controversy is one of the charms of football. We don't want to change, we just want to enjoy it. Below, let's take stock of the top ten controversial events in the European Cup:
Tear gas smoked away the goalkeeper.
Throughout the 1970s, British fans accumulated a considerable reputation for them in Europe. 1980 When the European Championship opened, the riot police in Italy, the host country, tried to compete with hooligans from England, and the result was out of control.
Before the first match between England and Belgium, the police and fans in Turin began to work. They used tear gas to drive away the heroic fans. A gust of wind blew and smoked the players on both sides. English goalkeeper clemons left the field with tears in his eyes. He is the direct victim of tear gas.
The roots of "racial discrimination" in the Netherlands are hard to get rid of.
On June 8, the European Cup is just around the corner, and the problem of ethnic conflicts is getting worse. The black players of the Dutch team were attacked by racism in training. Captain Van Bommel said that if this happens in the game, he will ask the referee to stop the game.
In fact, the internal contradictions of the Dutch team have always been an important problem that hinders the development of the team. This problem was particularly prominent in Euro 96. At that time, under Hiddink's leadership, the team was scattered and disappointed the fans. A photo shows the dining arrangement of the team at that time, highlighting the gap between black and white players at that time.
Franco ordered a strike.
1960 European Cup, Spain under Franco regime refused to associate with socialist countries. So in a semi-final competition, Spain refused to compete with the former Soviet Union at the instigation of Franco, and the former Soviet Union entered the semi-final without bloodshed and finally won the championship. This is definitely an incredible result.
7 Albania's political skills
1964 European Championship, of course, the official name is the European Nations Cup (1968 was renamed the European Football Championship, but the popular name is the European Cup). At that time, the contradictions and conflicts between European countries were several times fiercer than now. Besides the infighting between Warsaw Pact countries and NATO, there are also some local disputes.
Greece and Albania are examples. Since 19 12, the two countries have been in constant conflict over territorial issues. Uefa doesn't know who is the master's hand. The draw in the preliminaries (when the preliminaries were played) actually brought the two teams together!
Greece took the lead in losing its cool, and they announced that they would not fight, leaving Albania with a promotion in vain. Although they were quickly defeated by Denmark in the next game, they won their dead opponents only by keeping silent first, which shows that Albanians are very skilled in politics.
Romania's goal has no reason to cancel.
Fortunately for Bulgaria, the referee didn't award the goal when Romanian midfielder Montanu, who was playing with them, hit the inside entrance line of the goal crossbar with an angry shot 30 meters away, but was bounced off the goal. Slow motion shows that the ball has completely landed inside the goal line. In the end, Romania lost 0-/kloc-0-,losing three games in a row, ranking at the bottom of the group. After the game, the angry Romanian Football Association sent a letter to UEFA in a very tough tone. "We are so disappointed. We are indignant at what happened to our national team. Such a penalty is completely unfair and unreasonable. " I just didn't scold my mother directly.
5 referees are addicted to picking cards
/kloc-there was no red card in the final stage of the European Cup in 0/2, until196, when Italian referee Che Serigny decided to adopt a zero-violence policy in the match. In the group match between Bulgaria and Spain, Hu Ba Chev and Pitts of the two teams were both sent off with red cards, and seven players got yellow cards. This makes the players have to play like a horse with a tight rein in the next game.
4 "mental patient" Polly
To be exact, there is not much controversy, because the top ten controversies were written by the British. Maybe they think this scene is quite controversial.
Polly became a public enemy of England at the European Championship in 1992, because in the eyes of the British, he was the real "mental patient". He openly put Pierce, nicknamed "mental patient", on his head and his cheekbones bled. In this way, the referee did not respond.
A few days later, France and Britain suffered heavy losses. Both lost in the group with a score of 1-2, and both missed the semi-finals.
The referee hacked Spain.
1996 European Cup, England was in high spirits after beating Holland 4-1in the last match of the group stage. But then their opponent Spain was not so easy to deal with. In fact, in the game, two goals of the Spanish team were invalidated, and the second goal was also controversial. Subsequently, Spain's performance was not satisfactory, and finally lost to England 2-4 in the penalty shootout. After the game, Spanish player Salinas said, "We not only competed with the players of the other side 1 1 and 70,000 spectators in the stands, but also competed with the referee on the field. How can we win? "
Italian coins and sneak attack
Italy hosted the 1968 European Cup, so luck has been with them since the semi-final. In the semi-final, the 0-0 team scored the same as the Soviet team, so they decided the outcome by tossing a coin, and finally the Italian team won. This luck has not changed in the final. Seeing that there are still 10 minutes before the end of the game, the opponent Yugoslavia is still 1-0. At this time, Italy quickly kicked a free kick before the other team lined up. The sneak attack brought about a semi-final, and the tired and depressed Yugoslavia lost 0-2.
1 Anger in Portugal
In the semi-final of Euro 2000, France staged a similar scene in Euro 84. They scored the winning goal in the final stage of extra time, but Portugal was unlucky. But this time, the Portuguese are much more powerful than in 1984, because they believe that this is the result of the joint dizziness of the Austrian referee and the Slovenian linesman.
After losing the qualification for promotion, Portuguese players also let go. Many people began to pull and tear the clothes of the two referees. In the confusion, the referee took out a red card and showed it several times. I don't know who it is for. With the help of another linesman, the fourth referee and other staff, the two referees were able to get away.
After the game, the referee awarded Nuno Gomez a red card, but Xavier, Paulo Bento and Gomez were suspended by UEFA for two years.
