Chapter 960 The Istanbul Massacre (Part 2) Monthly Pass(1/2)
In the locker room of the home team at the Turkish Telecom Stadium.
Trim is doing his best to boost morale across the team.
He found a great example of inspiring players.
"Eight years ago, there was a great reversal in our great city," Trim said.
“Istanbul Night!”
"Milan vs. Liverpool."
A player said that when the coach said that, they knew which game it was.
"That's right, Istanbul Night!" Trim nodded, "I'm also behind zero to three, what the Liverpools can do, why can't we?"
"This is Istanbul, this is our territory. The boys, cheer up and have a real Istanbul night on our own territory!"
Looking at the confident Trim, some players rekindled their fighting spirit.
In the hearts of many Turks, Trim is Türkiye's national hero.
He was even called the "Turkish Emperor".
Of course, Trim's reputation as the "local emperor" was not in vain, but a real merit.
He once led the Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray to win the 2000 UEFA Cup and the 2000 UEFA Super Cup, which is the best result that Turkish clubs have achieved in the European arena. Such results have made Turkish fans regard him as a national hero.
In the 2008 European Cup, Trim led the Turkish national team to the semi-finals of the European Cup, creating Türkiye's best results in the European Cup.
On the wall of Trim's home in Türkiye, there is a banner that says "Nothing is impossible, miracles happen often."
This is also the words Trim often encourages the players before the game, and it is also his belief. He passed this belief to his players, and this miracle happened again and again.
It can be said that Trim's prestige in Galatasaray is no less than Aston Villa.
Only if the head coach who has created many miracles and honors in this way can he encourage the players in such an unfavorable situation.
Trim didn't expect his words to immediately boost the morale of the whole team. Some players had the fighting spirit, which made him satisfied.
The fighting spirit of these players was released in the second half of the game and their performance improved on the court, which could drive the morale of the whole team.
What he hopes most now is that he will be lucky in the second half, and it is best to score a goal as soon as possible. As long as he wins a goal as soon as possible, he believes that this can maximize the fighting spirit of the players. At this time, he instilled in the players the idea of creating Galatasaray's own "Istanbul Night" can ferment and produce good results.
...
The second half begins.
Galatasaray kicks off in the middle circle.
The home team took advantage of the kick-off opportunity and launched an attack on Aston Villa's goal as soon as they came out.
Objectively speaking, Galatasere's strength is relatively strong, and their offensive has indeed brought some trouble to Aston Villa.
The second half had just begun three minutes after Galatasaray won a free kick in the frontcourt.
Sneider took the free kick into the penalty area, and Drogba successfully grabbed the point, and the football he pushed out was very threatening.
Ter Stegen made an excellent save, and he hit the football with one punch.
Outside the penalty area, Altotop shot with a long shot, and the football brushed the post and went out of the baseline.
Seeing the home team's momentum rise, the Galatasaray fans in the stands were excited.
Then, something very wonderful happened.
Excited Galatasaray fans threw fireworks into the field.
Several large fireworks immediately filled Aston Villa's halftime smoke.
Aston Villa captain Clement found the referee to complain.
After the referee from Finland communicated with the assistant referee, the game was suspended.
Aston Villa's player temporarily retreated to Galatasaray's half to avoid the fireworks.
...
Fang Jue looked angry on the sidelines and complained to Malvini, the fourth official from Finland.
"Look, look, this is our competition environment." Fang Jue accused angrily.
In fact, Fang Jue's heart was almost filled with joy.
Over there, Trim was so angry that he almost cursed.
At this time, it was the starting stage of Galatasaray. Less than five minutes after the second half, they completed two shots. You know, they only had three shots in the first half in total.
Moreover, both Drogba's header and Altotop's long-range shot are very threatening.
It can be said that this period can be regarded as a period when Galatasaray began to find the offensive rhythm. According to this trend, Trim believes that the team is not far from the goal.
However, the fireworks that fans put on the court forced the game to be temporarily interrupted, which directly interrupted Galatasaray's offensive rhythm that had just risen.
A few minutes later, the smoke from the fireworks dissipated and the game continued.
Don’t interrupt the offensive rhythm, Galatasaray “has become more powerful” and rush up to attack.
Ilmaz wanted to pass Walker, but he succeeded, but Clement, who was immediately replaced, intercepted the ball.
Aston Villa immediately launched a counterattack.
The sequelae brought by Galatasaray's swarm this time was immediately reflected.
Their midfield defense coverage ability is reduced to maximize.
Modric received a pass from Clement, and when he passed the ball, Galatasaray remained intact except for the four defenders, and both sides and midfield disappeared.
Mane and De Bruyne at both ends of Aston Villa are absolutely open, and Ibrahimovic and Lewandowski in the middle also have plenty of room for running. The gap formed by the two midfielders is as wide as the Milky Way.
...
Aston Villa's offense is by far the most beautiful game, with extremely high efficiency from defense to offense.
The inflection and counter-running of Lewandowski and Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt opened the opponent's defense line, and the two sides opened up to create gaps in the middle.
The football advanced rapidly, and finally Mane took the ball from the side and drove the ball all the way and cut it inwardly.
Ibrahimovic made a move to shoot, but missed the football.
Lewandowski stopped the ball before Cameroon defender Nonko, turned around and shot in one go.
The football flew past Galatasaray's goalkeeper Moslela's armpit and flew into the net behind him.
“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
"Robert Lewandowski, the second one, he scored twice, Aston Villa led Galatasaray four-zero away."
"The mercury-like attack was like a mercury. It took less than ten seconds from Clement to Aston Villa's goal. It was too fast. Aston Villa's counterattack was too sharp."
In the stands at the Turkish Telecom Stadium, huge booing sounded, and angry fans threw fireworks into the stadium again, as well as water bottles, coins, etc., all of them fell one after another.
Aston Villa's players were going to celebrate the goal, but they quickly fled when they saw this and avoided the miscellaneous items in a mess.
Fang Jue once again complained to the fourth official on the sidelines. His attitude was clear. If his players were not guaranteed safety, Aston Villa would not continue the game.
On the court, Galatasaray was depressed, and their captain Altotop was called by head coach Columbus and discussed the situation on the court with Aston Villa captain Clement.
Clement, who received Fang Jue's instructions, was too many and tough. If Galatasaray fans cannot be restrained and the safety of the players is not guaranteed, the game will not be played.
Afterwards, Turkish internationals such as Altontop, Inan and Kaya came to the stands and called on the fans to calm down.
Fang Jue also found Trim, who strongly asked Galatasaray to restrain the misconduct of home fans.
Trim was also full of anger.
In his opinion, if it weren't for the fireworks of the fans who interrupted Galatasaray's offensive momentum just now, it would be no zero to four, but one to three, and the situation would have been completely different:
If it is one to three, Galatasaray will see hope of equalization.
However, now it is zero to four, and it is basically certain that Galatasaray's hope of turning around is gone.
Trim came to the sidelines expressionlessly and joined his players to urge the fans to calm down.
The Turkish emperor has a great reputation, and the commotion among the fans at the scene has been reduced for the time being.
...
The game continues.
After such a quarrel, the fighting spirit of the Galatasaray players was completely gone.
In the 71st minute of the game, Milner suddenly shot a long shot from the top of the penalty area, and the football went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.
Five to zero!
From this concealment, it can be seen that Galatasaray's morale is gone. When Milner shot, in such a dangerous area, no one went up to block the shot as soon as possible.
With a five-to-zero lead, Fang Jue began to make substitution adjustments.
Lewandowski was replaced and veteran Inzaggi came on as a substitute.
Mane was replaced and Ha Mei came on as a substitute.
Modric was replaced and the young Pogba came on the bench.
To be continued...
