“The anger of fans is like a storm, sweeping away everything in its path,” as an old Vietnamese proverb says. And indeed, countless times, controversial referee decisions have driven football fans “crazy.” Especially for big clubs like Barcelona, with their glorious history and fierce pride, being “screwed over” by referees is something fans can never accept. So, in Barcelona matches, what are the reactions of fans when referees make controversial decisions?
The “Storm” of Reactions from Barcelona Fans
Explosions of Anger
“Barcelona is being screwed by the referee!”, “The referee favors the other team!”, “Unfair!”, angry shouts echo from the Camp Nou stands every time the referee makes unfavorable decisions for their team.
“
Barcelona fans are known for their passion and fervor. They are a solid “wall” cheering for the team, but also those who “erupt” fiercely when their team is treated unfairly. Countless times, overlooked fouls, disallowed goals, or unexpected cards all enrage “Blaugrana” fans.
Unacceptable Behaviors
Barcelona fans’ protests are often expressed through shouting, whistling, protest banners, and even objects thrown onto the field. Although in most cases, these actions only remain at the level of protest, there are also instances where overly excited fans have caused fights or vandalism.
Football – A Place of Vietnamese Emotions
In fact, the “storm” from fans does not only happen in Barcelona or foreign teams. In Vietnamese football, “hot” reactions from fans are also not uncommon. Recalling the AFF Cup 2018 final, when the Vietnamese team faced Malaysia, controversial referee decisions made Vietnamese fans “go mad.”
“
Or more recently, in the V-League, inaccurate referee decisions have also driven many fans of Vietnamese teams “crazy.” This shows that in football culture, the emotions of fans are always a decisive factor. And not only in football, in life, the “hot” reactions of Vietnamese people are also proof of their enthusiasm and national pride.
Necessary Actions When Facing Controversial Referee Decisions
Calmness is Key
“Calmness, you will win,” this saying is very true in this case. Instead of “exploding” in anger, fans need to remain calm and continue to cheer for the team. Because, negative reactions not only do not bring benefits, but can also damage the image of the team and the fans themselves.
Love for the Team
Love for the team is shown in patience, support, and belief in the team. Fans should trust in the ability of their team and continue to cheer them on, no matter what the outcome of the match.
“Yin and Yang Harmony”
According to Vietnamese spiritual beliefs, everything has two sides, yin and yang need to be in harmony. The anger and hot-temperedness of fans are also expressions of emotion, but need to be controlled. “Yin” is calmness, “yang” is enthusiasm, “harmony” is the connection between reason and emotion.
