Chapter 416: The controversy caused by the referee!
Bayern narrowly defeated Real Madrid by 2-1 with home advantage. Mourinho said in an interview with the media after the game: "I don't know if Gomez had a foul before the goal. I was far away and couldn't see clearly, but I knew Coentrane played well.
His task is arduous, but he has completed it. I don't like you asking questions like this, because other players have made mistakes in other games, but you don't say anything."
Due to the loss in the first leg, Real Madrid must reverse the home game in the middle of next week to advance to the Champions League final.
However, Mourinho is optimistic about the prospects of the knockout stage.
He said: "I believe we can come back here again and compete in the finals and I am optimistic about it. We have the opportunity to take the lead in the game, have the opportunity to build a 2-0 advantage, have the opportunity to rewrite the score to 3-1, and even have the opportunity to lead 2-1 in stoppage time.
We have to reverse the second round, which is normal and nothing strange.
This is not the result we want, but we must face it calmly. This is the Champions League semi-final after all. Now we need the help of fans."
Mourinho insists that Real Madrid has a great chance of eliminating their opponents to advance to the finals.
He said: "This team is fully capable of turning the situation around in the second leg and fans will help us when the time comes, just like Bayern fans did in this game.
We don't have much time to prepare for the next round, but the team will be ready by then."
In addition, Mourinho also believes that his team should not have lost the game.
The Portuguese said: "This is our first loss to the Champions League this season, but I don't feel bad. We all know how we lost the game we lost last season.
And today's game, I don't think we should have lost, but in the end I lost. I'm very sure the opponent's first goal was offside, but I think this is a mistake the referee might make. It doesn't matter."
Regarding next week's second leg game, Mourinho pointed out: "Real Madrid plays for victory, both at home and away games, and today's game is no exception.
When we were playing our best, our opponent scored with a set piece. After we scored in the second half, we wanted to win the game in one go, but we didn't have much time left, we lost the ball too quickly, and the players were very tired.
Then the opponent scored the goal and the game ended. Their first goal was obviously offside, but it was a turnover that I could accept and I had no negative thoughts on this."
Finally, Mourinho talked about the physical condition of Real Madrid players.
He said: "It's April, and the team has played many games so far and strives to win every game. Therefore, it is normal for some players to be in their best condition."
Bayern Munich coach Heinx said after the game that judging from the overall situation of the game, Bayern's 2-1 victory over Real Madrid is a reasonable result.
"I think, overall, our victory was reasonable. Real Madrid played very well in the first fifteen minutes, but then we gradually took the initiative and controlled the game."
Heinx then praised forward Gomez for his performance.
He said: "Gomez played very well. He not only scored the winning goal, but also actively participated in the defense."
During the game, Real Madrid's Marcelo's flying tackle Thomas Muller and Bayern players asked the referee to show a red card.
In this regard, Heinx expressed his opinion: "I rarely comment on the referee, but Marcelo deserves a red card tonight, but if it were my player who made such an action, I would think that a yellow card would be enough."
The reporter also interviewed Bayern board chairman Rummenigge, mainly focusing on the referee's penalty issue. He said that such a game should be enforced by a better referee.
"This game has a strong smell of gunpowder and should be enforced by a better referee."
When a reporter asked about his implication, Ruméni said concisely: "There are better referees in Europe."
Some media believe that Heinx and Rummenigge both talked about the referee issue, and were actually putting pressure on the referee community to make the Bundesliga referee committee reduce the punishment of Wang Qi.
...
Both sides had opinions on the referee's punishment, and the next day, the media expressed their views on this.
"When UEFA announced the European derby between Bayern and Real Madrid, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and the referee was England's Weber, both sides took a breath.
Weber is an internationally renowned referee and has also enforced the law in the Champions League finals and the 2010 World Cup finals, but his reputation has always been bad.
In the 2010 World Cup final, Dutch player De Jong made a very obvious kick, causing Alonso to fall to the ground in pain, but Weber only showed the Dutch one yellow card.
For Bayern, the referee also Weber was also Weber for four major controversial decisions to go to Bayern and Real Madrid.
It can be said that for Real Madrid and Bayern, Weber is synonymous with controversy.
Sure enough, when the game reached the fifteenth minute, the first controversial penalty occurred.
At that time, Bayern played a delicate cooperation on the right, and Robben made a clever pass to Ribery. Ribery changed direction in the penalty area. Ramos made a slight pulling move towards him. The Frenchman fell to the ground, but Weber did not end the game and awarded a penalty kick but signaled the game to continue.
Ribery immediately stood up to protest and almost had a physical conflict with Real Madrid defender Pepe and Aveloa.
Then in slow motion, it was shown that when Ribery broke through Ramos, although the Real Madrid defender had already closed his legs, he did pull and pull his hands.
It was not won a penalty, and it was Bayern who took the lead, but the ball was still controversial.
In the 17th minute of the game, Bayern took a corner kick from the left. The ball bounced back to Batusbear's arm and bounced back. Ribery cleverly grabbed the first place and shot!
Real Madrid players then protested to referee Weber, believing that at the moment Ribery shot, Bayern player Gustavo stood on the offside line and interfered with goalkeeper Casillas.
Mourinho also talked about this goal after the game, and he believed that Weber's referee team made a mistake.
'Bayern's first goal was an obvious offside goal, and the referees were on the court with such mistakes that were common, and I would not criticize them.'"
Marca commented on the ball: "Oliver, a retired international referee in Spain, was interviewed by this newspaper after the game. His views were obviously different from Mourinho. He believed that Weber's penalty was correct and that the goal was reasonable and effective.
‘When Ribery shot, Gustavo obviously did not take the initiative to participate in the offense, so there was no offside.’”
