Chapter 457: Rain Battle Sunderland
Wu Sanshi, who lives a very regular life, rarely stays up late to talk on the phone with his girlfriend, and he is reluctant to hang up the phone until the mobile phone is hot and wants to have an electric heater.
Even though it was just a Carabao Cup game, he felt very tired.
It was a feeling that came from both mental and physical, and the Leeds United fans annoyed him and kept him in a state of high spirits, feeling like he could do anything when he played a dozen Red Bulls, but after the game he was completely like a deflated balloon.
Physical exhaustion is okay, rest and recovery training are fine.
Psychologically, it is mainly the remaining anger and the feeling of loneliness in the UK, which hits like a tide, so there is such a clingy behavior.
Although a foreign country is good, he is an outsider after all.
The old saying is right, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, don't look at relatives and friends living abroad as if they are in heaven and earth, cultural differences, racial issues and many other aspects are really warm and cold.
Because of staying up late, he rarely slept lazy.
It's just a League Cup game, but the follow-up impact is not small at all.
No matter what the mainstream media in Europe thinks, anti-racism is absolutely politically correct.
One of the undisciplined "Sun" three views may have something to do with the composition of their readership, which is mostly middle- and lower-class earners, including many immigrants and descendants of immigrants:
We saw the ugliest scene on the football pitch, with Leeds United fans disgrace the whole of England, they were nothing short of a mob. Performances like discriminatory slogans and storming the pitch were hard to swallow, and so was the disgusting performance of the Leeds United players on the pitch, who almost turned the Carabao Cup into a WWE wrestling match. If they are not severely punished, the international image of the United Kingdom will be greatly affected, because of the time difference, we have seen the Chinese media coverage in advance. The game has seriously affected the image of English football, and if this happens again, the impact of Stone's move to the Premier League may be depleted, and the most important thing now is to find a way to eliminate racial discrimination on the pitch.
The Daily Mail used an exaggerated headline - "Fatal Impact" to attract attention, Stone brought huge attention to La Liga when he played in Spain, and the number of Chinese tourists to Spain tripled, most of them went to Barcelona, Last year, Spain's tourism revenue increased by 42.7 percent because of these Chinese tourists, and even after Stone came to the UK, their tourism revenue is still growing, and La Liga officials and Spanish clubs are actively seeking cooperation with Chinese teams to expand their influence.
After Stone transferred to the UK, we got huge benefits, Liverpool alone from the sponsorship contract to get more than 200 million pounds, the UK's tourism revenue and Premier League influence continue to increase, but now the scandal has put us in trouble, before this game a Chinese want to travel to Europe when the first thought must be Liverpool, by the way to visit some famous cities, but now they will have doubts about their personal and personal safety in the UK.
They are not waving cash to experience the fists or verbal insults of the British, there is a saying in China that 'the consumer is God', we have to make them happy while enjoying their cash, but now Leeds United fans have given other countries a chance.
I believe that Spain will not let go of this opportunity, both in terms of tourism revenue and football, and they have always wanted to pull us off the throne of the first league.
The FA's announcement of the penalty later on will affect one of the decisions of the UK economy, and it is hoped that they will be carefully considered.
"Liverpool Echo" also reminded the FA - Wu Sanshi scored 11 goals and 5 assists in 9 league games, 5 goals and 1 assist in 2 games in the Champions League, and 4 goals in 1 game in the League Cup.
Ferguson also condemned Leeds United in an interview: their fans are like villains, their players are the villains on the pitch, some people deliberately connived to let this happen on English football stadiums, someone must be responsible for this, and of course Leeds United should be punished severely.
At the same time, he also said that Wu Sanshi is the best player in the Premier League now.
The concerns of the British media are not unfounded, and the media in other European countries have spoken out in unison.
WORLD SPORT – Racism shouldn't be on the pitch, there is a serious problem with the atmosphere in English football.
"Marca" - English football **** has a long history, and the fans of the Bernabeu are the best fans.
Milan Sport – Football in Italy is more inclusive than in England.
Munich Zeitung – Those fans should be barred from the stadium.
......
The performance of Leeds United fans this time gave them the opportunity to pull down the UK, the racial discrimination in the whole of Europe is very serious, France, Italy and Germany are the top three, and the UK is better, but now it is an incident in the UK, they don't care about this, after all, not the whole world knows, and it is really nice to have the opportunity to discredit the UK.
Especially when the UK economy is unique and the Premier League occupies the most profitable league throne because of its language and unique business model, it is inevitable that they will not be blush, and it is normal for them to have this opportunity to play on the topic.
Fortunately, Wu Sanshi has a good emotional intelligence, as one of the victims, he did not avoid the interview, but explained when he was interviewed by media outside the UK: I believe that this is only the behavior of a few fans, and it cannot be generalized because of the behavior of some people.
Even Benitez saw the report and thought that this kid had a future and spoke like a politician.
This time the FA went against the norm and issued a penalty notice before the weekend's matchday:
The FA will launch an investigation into Leeds United fans, fans who shout discriminatory slogans and fans who rush into the stadium will be banned from entering the stadium for life, Leeds United closed the home stand for 6 games because of fan slogans, fined 150,000 pounds, because fans rushed into the stadium, Leeds United must upgrade the security system, and at the same time close the home stand for 3 games and a fine of 50,000 pounds, and close the home stand for 9 games and a fine of 200,000 pounds.
The punishment was severe, with 3,000 Juventus fans singing anti-Semitic songs and only one home stand closure, proving the FA's determination that Asia has always been an important market for the Premier League, and China, with its rapid economic development, is a top priority.
......
At 4pm sharper on Saturday, Liverpool travelled to Sunderland away.
The team, nicknamed the 'Black Cats', are not good at it, at least not for Liverpool, who are better known as the 'Manchester United Second Team'.
There has been a lot of player exchange between Manchester United and Sunderland, with transfers happening on loan, and Yorke, one of United's 'Black Wind Twins', has since played for Sunderland and has been inducted into the club's Hall of Fame.
Even the current manager of Sunderland is former Manchester United captain Steve Bruce, so this team will always have extra motivation when playing Liverpool, and as long as you play well against Liverpool, the real-life version of 'one-goal fame' may come to you.
Even their fans didn't think there was anything wrong with the name 'Manchester United Second Team', after all, they got a lot of benefits.
"As long as Stone scores again in this game, he can equal Ruud van Nistelrooy's 10 consecutive Premier League scoring opportunities, and I believe he must be full of motivation now."
"But Sunderland are not soft persimmons, Steve Bruce is leading the team to a good record at the moment, they are in seventh position, presumably the former Manchester United captain must have mobilized the team before the game."
"Liverpool sent most of the main players today, goalkeeper: Reina, defenders: Carragher, Agger, Glenn Johnson, Schuster, midfielders: Benayoun, Kuyt, Aquilani, Babel, forwards: Stone, Suarez, captain Gerrard missed this game after a relapse of injury after playing in the Carabao Cup, but I believe Liverpool will win the game."
When the players of both sides played, the away fans put up banners in the stands to support the non-British in the team, which made Wu Sanshi feel warm in his heart.
With a smile on his face, he walked out of the Suarez passage and waved to the fans.
“stone,”
“stone,
“stone!”
The fans immediately responded with the warmest cheers and applause, and many home fans also responded with goodwill applause.
"Today's scene is a normal sports competition, football is a place to speak with strength, it should not be mixed with other things, and the Sunderland fans showed a lot of grace today."
But after the game started, the Sunderland players showed Liverpool what it means to be a 'father's revenge'.
As soon as Kuyt was passed back after kick-off, Kuyt was tackled to the ground before he could turn around.
There is also a saying about this opening tackle, in the past, English football liked to give the opponent some color in the opening stage, especially for foreign players and young players who have just come to play in the UK, so that they cannot play normally because of the fear of injury, which is also one of the 'traditions'.
Because the foul was committed in the front court, the referee simply gave a warning.
When the game restarted, Sunderland didn't have many fouls, but the pressing was fierce, and what made Liverpool even more uncomfortable was that it was raining.
In the 7th minute, Wu Sanshi added a man to divide the ball, and the ball stopped behind him because of the stagnant water, and he slipped under his feet and couldn't stop, and directly hit the billboard on the bottom line.
Although he was not injured, there were obvious bruises on his calves after rolling up his socks, the turf was too slippery and he hit it quickly, because the weather forecast was not accurate, and he did not wear rain spikes when he played.
This is very detrimental to play.
Light rain can reduce friction, which is conducive to faster ball play, and it will be more difficult to pass and receive the ball. Heavy rain will add weight to the ball, and there will be more resistance when kicking, making it difficult to master power. Whether it's heavy rain or light rain, the impact of a speedy player and a player with excellent technique is huge.
First of all, the change in grip makes it easier for players to fall down in high-speed dribbling, and it is more difficult to change direction and technical maneuvers in possession. Especially a player like Wu Sanshi who eats with explosiveness. So the rainy day has a huge impact on his play, if it's in the game, there may be a debuff above his head that reduces his skill and speed, but the other party will also be affected, which is the only consolation.
