Chapter 830 Suspension
The giant game between Chelsea and Liverpool ended with a draw, but the draw was not peaceful. The two teams staged a red and yellow battle in this game, contributing a total of three red cards and six yellow cards. Although the strong dialogue has always been quite exciting, it is still very unusual to be stimulated to this extent.
In this game, Chelsea was sent off two players and Liverpool was sent off one, but Liverpool lost much greater than Chelsea. The two players sent off by Chelsea, Maluda and Wright Jr., are both substitute players, not the main players of the team, while Liverpool sent off their ace killer Chen Yu.
At the post-match press conference, Benitez bluntly stated that this was a draw that was not worth the effort. If he knew that Chen Yu would fight, he would rather lose than let Chen Yu participate.
Then Benitez angrily denounced Chelsea's despicable killing tactics and provocative tactics, believing that Chelsea's behavior on the field has exceeded the scope of competition, and the referee must severely punish such things, otherwise this game will not be played in the future. At the same time, Benitez also complained to Chen Yu, saying that although Chen Yu's fight was wrong, Chen Yu was forced. Anyone who has watched the game knows how much violations and insults Chen Yu was suffered in the game. Benitez hopes that the FA can give Chen Yu justice and not give Chen Yu additional punishment.
Mourinho and Benitez did not shake hands after the game, nor did they shake hands in the press conference after the game. The relationship that the two had just eased last season was frozen again. Benitez's attack on Chelsea was despicable. Mourinho certainly couldn't accept it, and he wouldn't accept it either. Mourinho retorted: "Someone wants to give Chen Yuai a tomb and whitewash him, but I want to tell these people that this is impossible. Chen Yu first hit people and attacked more than one Chelsea player. His mistakes cannot be covered up. He must be punished by the rules, otherwise the Premier League will really become a battlefield for fighting..."
Then Mourinho tried his best to excuse Terry, Mikel and others who provoked Chen Yu, believing that they were all legitimate fouls and that their behavior was within the scope of the rules, but Chen Yu had ulterior motives and always thought that he wanted to kick his leg. Mourinho believed that Chen Yu had a tendency to be persecuted, liked fantasy, and regarded fantasy as a fact.
Mourinho has excellent eloquence and strong incitement. It is difficult for fans who have not watched the game or watched the game in detail to tell whether what he said is true or false. After Mourinho finished speaking, some reporters even applauded Mourinho.
Benitez was already unhappy about Chen Yu's possible suspension. Mourinho's behavior of turning black and white upside down angered him. Benitez, who has always been known as a humble gentleman, anxiously gave Mourinho on the spot. He pointed at Mourinho and said: "You must be responsible for everything you say. A gentleman should never lie in public. Everything that happens on the field is recorded in video. Don't think that your mouth can turn black and white upside down, and the fans' eyes are sharp."
Mourinho is an absolute utilitarian. Of course, he will not feel any guilt about his lies. He will only use more beautiful and vivid lies to cover up the original lies. "Of course I am responsible for my words. I only see my players' hard defense. Although their abilities are not as good as Chen Yu, and although they have to pay the price of yellow cards and fouls, they continue to do so, and they are not afraid of sacrifice. This is the spirit of Chelsea. It is this spirit that encourages our players to persist in fighting when they are sent off, and they achieve the final miracle. With nine people, they tied the defending champion at Anfield."
Mourinho's shameless Benitez almost couldn't speak. He trembled his lips and finally pointed at Mourinho and said, "You will be retribution, God will let you go to hell after death."
Mourinho didn't care about Benitez's curse at all. He sneered: "It's God's business to me whether I go to heaven or hell, and it has nothing to do with others. If I make a mistake in reality, there will naturally be clubs, FA and other organizations to punish me, so no one else has to worry about anything else. I think Liverpool should consider more about Chen Yu's ban, how should you play the following game? Instead of caring about whether I will be punished."
Compared to Mourinho's calmness and shamelessness, Benitez was still a little more idealistic. Mourinho was so insincere that he couldn't speak. Many reporters at the scene were bewitched by Mourinho and even applauded him.
Originally, the media on the next day should have been sent off for Chen Yu to fight and slaughtered the page and flooded the screen, but because of the head-on quarrel between Benitez and Mourinho at the post-match press conference, the media had to even out part of the page to these two coaches with huge influence.
Liverpool and Chelsea drew miserably and were sent off three people, which is huge good news for Manchester United. It is said that Manchester United coach Ferguson laughed for a minute after the Liverpool and Chelsea match, and drank a pound of red wine. He had an absolute advantage but was wiped out by Manchester City's depression.
The Sun believes that Ferguson is so excited. Among the three results of the battle between Liverpool and Chelsea, the most beneficial to Manchester United is the draw between Liverpool and Chelsea, followed by Chelsea and the worst is Liverpool. The result of the draw between the two teams is that Manchester United is 2 points behind Chelsea, one game less, and 5 points behind Liverpool. If the winner is decided, Manchester United may be 7 points behind the winner. 5 points and 7 points are two results with different meanings.
5 points are within two games, and Manchester United has two direct dialogues with these two teams. Destiny can be controlled by itself, but 7 points are more than two games. Even if Manchester United beat Chelsea and Liverpool twice, they cannot control their own destiny. It depends on the opponent's face and expect the opponent to make mistakes. Now the two teams not only played the result that Manchester United wanted most, but also punished three of them to come out of the field. This made Manchester United really overjoyed.
The headline of the front page of The Times is "Two Tigers Fight, Manchester United Will Become"". The article humorously pointed out that after Manchester United played the worst start in 15 years, Liverpool and Chelsea extended a hand of friendship and pulled Manchester United, not making the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which competed for the Premier League championship, become a battle between the United States and the Soviet Union. Moreover, when Chen Yu may be suspended, Liverpool's lead will even shrink again. This is also a good thing for the entire Premier League fans. No one wants a team to stand out. In a sense, the mistakes of the young referee Weber are still beneficial to maintaining the Premier League pattern."
The focus of the Guardian is on the group fight between the two teams. Chen Yu was expelled from the court. The reporter said that the biggest beneficiary of this game was not Chelsea, but Manchester United, and the biggest victim was not Liverpool, but Chen Yu. In this game, Chelsea obviously adopted a killing tactic against Chen Yu. At this time, experienced referees will protect Chen Yu, but the referee on duty Weber was too young and had no experience. After sending out Wright, he adopted an appeasement attitude towards Chelsea's killing tactics, which eventually led to a disaster, causing Liverpool and Chelsea to have a group fight. Chen Yu and Maluda were sent off. Before Chen Yu faced the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Awards election, Chen Yu's image was destroyed. If he was suspended for several games, his condition would probably be affected. It is hard to say whether it would affect the World Footballer and the Golden Ball Awards selection in the end.
After analyzing the previous penalty results after the Premier League fight in detail, the Guardian believed that Chen Yu was the first to take action and also "excellent" in the group fight. Although he was a victim in the game, the punishment he received was probably not reduced. Three games were base, and if he was heavy, it would be like four or five games. Maluda also had at least three games, and Wright would only automatically suspend the game for one game because of the red card.
Since the strength of the three or four Liverpool's opponents is not strong, even if Liverpool lacks Chen Yu, it should be able to deal with it. However, Chen Yu is greatly affected. If it affects the selection of World Footballers, then Chelsea and Mourinho will be guilty. This is not only a crime against Chen Yu, but also a crime against the entire Premier League. Chen Yu is the biggest hope of the Premier League in the Premier League. If Chen Yu cannot be elected, Gerald will not be able to compete with Ronaldinho and Kaka. This is not that Gerald's performance and strength are worse than them, but a different style of play. Gerald's style of play is simple and unpretentious, while Ronaldo is very gorgeous and easy to attract the attention of fans.
In the Premier League album jointly organized by Santtanta Sports and 442 magazine, there is a survey specifically for fans, "the player you hate the most". Liverpool fans have two answers - the gay man from Manchester Gary Neville (just a fan's satire of Manchester United captain) and Maluda from France.
Maluda was hated so much by Liverpool fans just joined, and there was only one reason why he let Chen Yu be sent off, which made fans unable to see Chen Yu's performance in many games. Liverpool fans cannot forgive this.
At this time, everyone was talking about Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United, but they all forgot that Gunners Arsenal, who have been competing for the dominance of these three teams over the years.
After Henry left in this tournament, Professor Wenger did not attract superstars of the same weight, so he was not optimistic about Arsenal, who was the leader of the Imperial team. However, compared with other teams outside the semi-finals, Arsenal still has the greatest hope of winning the championship.
Manchester United started the game with a bad start. When they lost three games, they were actually an opportunity for Arsenal. Unfortunately, Arsenal was unable to seize the opportunity when facing a mid-range team like Blackburn. They were similar to Manchester United and took the absolute initiative in the whole game. In the end, Blackburn scored a point with the mistake of Arsenal goalkeeper Lehman.
Failure to seize such an opportunity made Professor Wenger very disappointed. He said, "I can't pick on the players' performance. Arsenal played very well. In theory, the victory should be put into the pocket, but we only got a draw." Wenger also thought that Blackburn's desire for violence was too strong. Wenger said, "I feel that there is a desire in the game: that is, some violence is far better than normal performance. Eight yellow cards and one red card are obviously not that normal."
Although Wenger was unwilling to get a draw, the result was already like this. Wenger didn't want to criticize the players anymore. After all, these players were still young. After all, Wenger still gave a good review of the game. He said: "Although we lost a bad ball, we handled excellently in running and handling long passes. Blackburn was a very difficult away game, so this was not a bad result for us."
Like Liverpool, not only did Arsenal get a depressed draw, but Arsenal's new captain Gala needs three weeks of cultivation to regain the game due to a groin strain during the game.
This is another great news for Manchester United. When they lost in poor condition, none of their competitors won the game, and they even offered their core players the opportunity to catch up. This made many Manchester United fans joke on online forums that Chen Yu brought the long-lost "Lei Feng spirit" to the Premier League.
After the game, Liverpool repeatedly watched the video, collected materials and went to the referee committee and the FA to appeal, hoping to reduce or not punish Chen Yu.
Liverpool is very dedicated to his ace, and the materials he collected are complete, but he doesn't replace them at all. He beat Chen Yu and beat him up. Mikel and Terry were beaten up by him. The Chinese seem to be very good at fighting. He beat several people in the group fight, but he was unscathed. This made the referee committee and the FA have a bad impression of Chen Yu, thinking that Chen Yu is a habitual offender in fighting, so he is unwilling to give Chen Yu a lighter punishment.
Liverpool did not give up, continued to look for evidence, and called on the media and fans to put pressure on the FA and referees in the hope that the punishment for Chen Yu could be reduced. However, the FA did not give Liverpool face, and the final decision to maintain the initial "four games suspended and fined 10,000 euros."
Liverpool and Chen Yu were helpless. At a press conference after training, Benitez told reporters a few consecutive words to the reporters, "...I am speechless about the FA's penalty. Chen Yu and Maluda have the same amount of suspension. Chen Yu's fine is 5,000 more than Maluda. This is unscientific. If the victim is the same as the victim, then what should we do next time if we want to tackle Chen Yu's legs? What should we do if someone hits our players first? If any player spits on Chen Yu's face again, what should we do? As the most spectator player in the entire Premier League, shouldn't Chen Yu be protected? Even if it is not protected, at least Chen Yu cannot be treated fairly. Why does our Premier League lack technical players? It is because our stadium violence has not been sanctioned."
Benitez's words played a certain role. The referee committee, which has always been conservative and short-supervised, issued a statement to crack down on violent behavior on the court. Those who intentionally injured others will be sent off red cards, regardless of whether they were injured or not.
