Chapter 236 Hell's home court

Atlético Madrid had no respite after a fierce 90-minute battle with Barcelona, ​​and they were away to play the Champions League group stage next.

But this away game is not easy to play.

Because their opponent is the Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray.

Galatasaray's home court is known as "hell's home court".

There is a particularly famous thing about this stadium, that is, when the Premier League team Leeds United came here to play the Champions League match with Galatasaray, the tragedy happened that a Leeds United fan was stabbed to death by violent Galatasaray fans .

In addition, Manchester United also visited this stadium in the Champions League in 1993. At that time, a slogan on this stadium spread all over the world: "Welcome to hell!"

For a time, Galatasaray's home stadium, Ali Samyan Stadium, had a nickname of "Hell's Home Stadium".

The atmosphere in this stadium is very frenzied, and the fans will do everything in order to put pressure on the opponent.

When Manchester United arrived in Istanbul, there were signs from Galatasaray fans everywhere, and thousands of people yelled at the confused-looking Manchester United players and threw objects at them. They also gathered outside the hotel where they stayed to sing and make phone calls in the hotel room, just to prevent the Manchester United players from taking a good rest and exhausting the Manchester United players physically and mentally.

Coupled with the tense atmosphere they created in the stands, Manchester United players simply did not want to play. In the last game, Manchester United and Galatasaray drew 0:0, because Galatasaray drew 3:3 with Manchester United in the previous round of away games, so in the end Manchester United was at a disadvantage due to away goals. was eliminated.

But at that time, the Manchester United players didn't care whether they were promoted or not. They only thought about whether they could get out of this terrible hell alive.

Not even the fans, even the security personnel of this stadium are all heart to the home team.

It was the game between Manchester United and Galatasaray, when Cantona was sent off for being rude to the referee. After the game, Manchester United players including Mark Hughes and Galatasaray players clashed fiercely. In the player tunnel, Cantona and the referee team clashed again, causing confusion. In the chaos, Cantona He was hit on the head with a baton by the Turkish police, and Brian Robson was scratched by the police shield when he pulled the frame, and his arm was hung with two stitches...

Most of the teams that come here as guests are facing huge psychological pressure and it is difficult to perform normally.

After all, compared with football victories,

Life safety is more important.

Of course not all games played at Ali Samiyan are so intense.

But the stadium did become famous all over the world through these two events.

The stabbing to death of a Leeds United fan is a tragedy no matter where it is placed. But the extreme fans of Galatasaray regard this as a very honorable thing, publicize it everywhere, and deliberately create panic. They hope that all the teams that come here to play away games will have no fans to come and cheer for them. At that time, all the visiting team players can hear during the game are boos and curses.

They believed that if they did, no team would be able to win at the Ali Samyan Stadium.

Unfortunately, so far, their wish has not been realized.

After Atletico Madrid came to Galatasaray, they were also booed and "welcome" by Galatasaray fans at the airport. Singing and firecrackers could also be heard outside the hotel in the middle of the night.

Diego Simeone stood by the window, watching the Galatasaray fans on the street through the cracks in the curtains, they were singing and dancing.

For Galatasaray fans to do this, Simeone actually expected it, but it is impossible for him to stop it. This is their home court. I am afraid that everything from the hotel to the police here is the same as Galatasaray. guys.

Even if he protested and complained, it was useless.

In the end, I was exhausted from tossing myself.

So he can only choose to ignore it, and just hope that his players can sleep well tonight...

Even though the windows are closed, the sound of music and firecrackers outside can still come in, especially the sound of firecrackers. I don't know when it will sound. It seems to only depend on the mood of the Galatasaray fans. But because of this, the sound of firecrackers that don't know when the next time will sound is even more disturbing. It's a bit like when a tenant upstairs who returns home in the middle of the night throws off a boot, the residents downstairs with a nervous breakdown don't know When does the second boot drop, so the mentality of not being able to sleep peacefully is the same.

In Gao Zheng's room, there was a burst of snoring.

The sound of firecrackers and singing outside could not interrupt the snoring in this room at all.

Gao Zheng was not affected at all in the noisy environment, and slept soundly...

It's just that his roommate Stefan Savage was out of luck. He heard Gao Zheng's snoring one after another in his left ear, and the singing and firecrackers of Galatasaray fans outside in his right ear.

Savage tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

He opened his eyes wide and stared at the ceiling of the hotel in a daze. He was a little thankful that he was a substitute for this game. Otherwise, with his sleep quality, how could he guarantee the state of the game?

Savage turned over and took a look at Gao Zheng, admiring that Gao Zheng could still fall asleep under such circumstances.

Next to Gao Zheng's ear, an earplug came out, and there was a faint sound of music coming from it. It's just that under the cover of his snoring and the noise outside, Savage didn't hear it...

When Gao Zheng and his teammates warmed up at the Ali Samiyan Stadium the next day, the stands of the stadium were already full of Galatasaray fans.

Generally speaking, when the team starts to warm up, the fans tend to start to enter the stadium.

But Galatasaray's home stadium is definitely different from the ordinary stadiums outside, so when Atletico Madrid players came to the stadium to warm up, the stands were completely full.

These Galatasaray fans hung their banners and slogans on the stands. At the same time, several large flags have also been erected, and giant TIFOs are being put together. At the same time, the Galatasaray fans are still Singing non-stop, as if their voices were made by machines, they are completely tireless.

In addition, red and yellow flares were lit in the stands, and the smoke was exactly the color of Galatasaray's home jersey. At first glance, it looked like the stands of the Ali Samyan Stadium were on fire.

However, the effect of this "flame" is really quite similar to the scene of hell full of magma.

The huge momentum they created shocked everyone's ears and eyes.

It may also impact their hearts...

Gao Zheng noticed that his roommate Savage's face was a bit ugly during the warm-up, so he took the initiative to comfort him: "Don't worry, Stefan. Don't look at these home team fans shouting happily, but there is nothing to be afraid of. , They’re just a bunch of paper tigers. Do you know what paper tigers mean? They’re just for looks, but they’re not useful! Haha!”

When Gao Zheng said this, he immediately attracted the attention of other teammates to Savage, and they cast their eyes one after another.

Everyone mistakenly thought that he was frightened by the Devil's home court, Savage quickly defended himself: "Uh, Gao, you misunderstood... I don't look good because I didn't sleep well yesterday..."

Hearing that Savage didn't sleep well, some of the teammates expressed their understanding: "Indeed, the group of Galatasaray fans had a ruckus outside the hotel all night..."

Savage waved his hand: "No, actually the main reason why I can't sleep well is..."

He hesitated for a moment and then said, "It's a high snoring sound..."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and then turned their attention to Gao Zheng.

Under the eyes of everyone, Gao Zheng frowned: "Nonsense, I don't snore when I sleep!"

But immediately someone who had lived in the same room with Gao Zheng jumped out, such as Griezmann raised his hand and said: "I testify, Gao's snoring is really loud!"

After Savage found his comrade-in-arms, he immediately nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes! I'll just say it!"

"You guys are talking nonsense!" Gao Zheng argued for himself.

But more people came forward to testify against Gao Zheng.

Seeing this, the other teammates burst out laughing.

In the team, Gao Zheng has always been treated as a core figure, and he has a good reputation on the court, so it is really a happy thing to see him deflated at this time...

Simeone and assistant coach Boggs were observing the warm-up of the players on the sidelines of the training field, and they naturally felt the huge momentum created by the fans of the home team.

"Honestly, the Turks are good at this..." assistant coach Boggs said, looking worriedly at the Galatasaray fans in the stands. "For the first victory in the Champions League group, they did their best. But it's right to think about it. After all, this is their home game. If they want to compete for the right to qualify for the group, it will be very good if we win at home..."

"If it's just the right to qualify for the group, I don't think they will be so serious in this game. I'm afraid they want to compete with us for the first place in the group." Simeone said.

Before the words fell, a burst of laughter came from among the Atlético Madrid players who were warming up.

Simeone and Boggs looked over curiously, and found that the Atlético Madrid players who were robbing the circle were smiling happily. Their faces were filled with bright smiles, which seemed a little out of tune with the tense hell atmosphere at home. ...
