Chapter 539: Heavy Punch
Some people support Wu Sanshi, some people hate Wu Sanshi, but I have to admit that no matter whether they support or hate this Chinese kid who scores goals, they will bring more viewership to the Premier League live broadcast.
That's why the FA is even more furious. This is simply the biggest scandal in the Premier League. Before the Merseyside derby was over, everyone was called back to headquarters for a meeting.
When the game was over, 14 yellows and 8 reds made the entire venue silent. Although there are objections, the majority of them support serious handling.
After a few hours of discussion, the disgruntled FA officials really took a ruthless action and announced the details of the handling overnight: Liverpool FC closed the home stands for three games and fined £150,000 for fans throwing debris into the stadium several times, insulting the referee and clashing with away fans.
Gilgiacos was suspended for one game with a red card and two additional games for a retaliatory foul. Babbel was suspended for one match for a red card, fined £5,000 for rushing into the field, and was suspended for five additional games.
Steven Gerrard was suspended for one match with a red card, fined £5,000 for brawl and suspended for three additional games. Kuyt was suspended for one game for a red card, fined £5,000 for brawl and suspended for three additional games.
Rafael Benitez blasted the referee after the game, with a serious warning and a fine of £15,000. Everton fans were fined £20,000 for throwing debris at each other in the stands and Liverpool fans for abusive throwing debris at each other.
Villaredinov, who was fined £5,000 for storming the field, was suspended for five games.
Mikel Arteta and Pirna were also fined £5,000 and suspended for five additional games. David Moyes sprayed off the pitch and received a red card, a total of three suspension and a fine of £28,000.
This is the largest penalty in FA history, and the largest fine. Mr. Guan was so efficient that many editors who had just gotten off work were arrested and returned to the newspaper.
...... Early the next morning, a big storm came. The Echo praised the fighting spirit of the Liverpool players, while questioning Atkinson's performance: At Anfield, we saw a wonderful derby match, the performance of the players on both sides was very exciting, the referee Atkinson was afraid that the game would lose suspense early, so he kept suppressing the strong and because of this, the Liverpool players were so excited after winning the game.
At the same time, their columnist Haus Mensah gave an analysis of Liverpool's outstanding players and tactics for this game: in this game, The sum of the running distances of the Liverpool players divided by eleven equals 10.23 kilometers, and the goalkeeper Reina ran a distance of more than 5 kilometers, so the remaining players ran more than 10.8 kilometers in the draw, which fully explains why Liverpool won the game, although the Liverpool players had frequent cramps at the end of the game, but it was their persistence that made Everton hate.
The Liverpool players have been very good, but I want to give high praise to three players, Steven Gerrard, Stone and Kuyt.
Although Stone failed to score, he was very active at both ends of the pitch, frequently attacking in the middle and cutting inside on the left to disrupt Everton's defence, and he played an exaggerated 8 successful dribbles, 4 key passes, 11 fouls, and the highest distance he ran at 11.33 kilometers, but fortunately his teammates lived up to his efforts and won the game.
Kuyt executed Benitez's tactics very well, and when Everton started to counter-attack, he always cooperated with his team-mates to defend, and we can often see him chasing back into his own half, but when Liverpool attacked, he appeared near the penalty area, and the player who worked so hard finally became a hero, and scoring the only goal of the game was the best reward for him.
Steven Gerrard missed a crucial penalty, but that couldn't hide his impressive performance in the derby.
In this game, although Liverpool was sent off, Gerrard's Liverpool won Everton strongly, and remained unbeaten at home in the Merseyside derby for 11 consecutive years.
In this game, he frequently changed positions with Stone to create killing opportunities, and even tested the opponent's goalkeeper with free kicks several times, if it wasn't for Howard's super play, he would have broken Everton's goal.
It is worth noting that Steven Gerrard was injured in the second half of the contest with the opposing player, but he still insisted on playing, and it was only when Carragher was injured that we realized how valuable the Liverpool captain's persistence was, otherwise Liverpool would have to continue the game with nine men.
In this game, Gerrard fully took responsibility for the transition between attack and defense in the midfield, he won the ball 98 times in the whole game, 80 passes in place, and the success rate did not seem high, but this is a derby, and it is very difficult for Everton to maintain such a pass success rate despite 47 fouls.
The Liverpool captain contributed 9 tackles, 6 successes, and the total distance traveled was 10.97 kilometers, ranking second in the team, and the key thing is that he is still injured!
It was his performances that inspired his team-mates and Liverpool won the game. Due to frequent injuries this season, Gerrard's form has declined, and during the period of recuperation, Serie A giants Inter Milan have repeatedly promised the Liverpool captain a lucrative contract, and hope to take advantage of Liverpool's financial crisis to buy the midfielder for 50 million euros.
Not long ago, Jose Mourinho vowed that "Steven Gerrard is a player I like, he is a rare talent. "But now Gerrard is only worth 50 million euros?
His leadership skills alone are far beyond that price, and he is an invaluable asset to Liverpool and the Premier League. Now, John Terry has stepped down as captain of the England national team, with Capello saying he will let Rio Ferdinand take over as captain
"Trial" a game to see the after-effects, however, compared to the second captain of Manchester United who can only sit in the stands to watch the game because of the ban, perhaps the only leader of Liverpool is the most important target for him!
This column is completely a hymn to Gerrard, but Gerrard's performance deserves such praise, not only this derby, Gerrard's persistence with several injuries finally had a good effect, although he has been reduced to a glass man this season, but he is a mental iron man, and physical injuries can never destroy the heart of the Liverpool captain.
The Daily Mail also praised Liverpool, but they focused on Kuyt: Liverpool's third choice up front, third choice on the wing, and even with Steven Gerrard injured in central midfield, Aquilani ahead of Kuyt...... But I've never heard him complain, every time I see him on the pitch, he always plays in a different position, there seems to be no position that Kuyt can't play, low-key, hard work is Kuyt's label, he completed the redemption with a goal, not to himself, because he doesn't need it, it was Liverpool who was saved by him, he was the hero of Anfield!
The Daily Mail had no problem saying that, with Liverpool's points coming to 59 after the derby win, but United also won the game, just one point behind, keeping the pressure on Liverpool alive.
If they fail to win against Everton, Liverpool should have lost their top spot in the table by now, and this goal could be a goal that could affect the course of the season.
The Sun continues to look at Liverpool, after all, sworn enemies: Liverpool seem to have found a winning sensation after ending two consecutive draws.
But considering how difficult it was for them to win, it's hard to be optimistic about their next performance. Considering the suspensions of Steven Gerrard, Kuyt and Babbel, and the injuries of Glen Johnson, Carragher and others, Liverpool's future is bleak.
With their next two league games being formidable opponents, with Champions League fixtures in between, can we expect a team without even a right-back to beat Arsenal and Manchester City to continue to lead the table?
Manchester United are facing vice-winners Wigan Athletic and Hull City, and there could be some changes in the table after two rounds, with Liverpool unable to hold on to second place, after all, Arsenal and Chelsea are only three and four points behind them.
Corriere della Sera is also adamant that Liverpool is just a comeback: Rafael Benitez cleverly gave up the League Cup and FA Cup, thinking that he could rely on the existing squad to fight on both fronts, and now we have seen his dilemma, with a number of players suspended and injured, and the subsequent games were very difficult for Liverpool, and it is said that the club provided him with 20 million pounds of transfer funds during the winter break, but the arrogant Spaniard did not spend a penny, and now he has to pay for his actions!
"The Times", as an elite media, seriously accused the Premier League of violence: a game of 80 fouls set a new record since the establishment of the Premier League, the players on both sides let us see what is called war on the football field, and the brawl at the last moment was even more ugly, I heard that the Everton players were also ready to intercept each other in the channel, but the Liverpool players left the field late so the two sides failed to meet, this is simply the football hooligans in the Premier League, although the FA's reaction speed is fast, but the handling is not severe enough, In order to maintain the impact of the Premier League, violence on the pitch must be severely punished.
Bild: The standard of enforcement and refereeing in the Premier League is worrying, and commercial development must be accompanied by an improvement in the professional level of staff.
Marca: A shocking 11 fouls, three goals blown away, the poor quality of the referee stifled Stone's perfect performance, and in terms of player protection, La Liga is undoubtedly doing better, if he does not want to be like Owen in the long term injury should leave the Premier League where the referee is low and cannot give him protection.
Liverpool's opponent for the next game, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger also raised his own doubts in an interview: "I watched the Merseyside derby, that game was disgusting, I can't imagine a player who has been fouled 11 times and can continue to play on the field, I think the Premier League must continue to develop the level of referees as soon as possible, and at the same time protect the players with excellent skills, which can improve the attractiveness of the Premier League."
