Chapter 506: Punishment Results

No one knew very well how Quaresma had survived the night before, and when he saw him the next day, two large dark circles under his eyes seemed to indicate something.

Many of his teammates adhered to the 'fair' mentality and sympathized with Quaresma.

Zhang Yang also received a satisfactory report on the game.

Quaresma's level of education is not bad, and he can express his meaning clearly in Portuguese, perhaps it is also this level of culture that made him use his brain to figure out how to find the gunman.

Quaresma worked hard to write the match report himself, and it was not badly written, and among the entire first-team players, this report was also firmly in the top three, which not only was the text fluent, but also very rich, writing about Chelsea from the perspective of a full-back, how to limit defensively, how to attack most effectively, and what aspects of the midfield contention need to be paid attention to.

These are very helpful in preparing for the war.

'Probably Quaresma will know how to play against Chelsea, right?'

Zhang Yang thought.

Writing a game report is not the goal, the key is to let the players use their own brains to understand how to play the final and why to do it, in a way, it can also allow the players to go to the game, when to do, and increase the ability to improvise.

Zhang Yang forgave Quaresma.

After the afternoon training was over, Zhang Yang said very generously, "Tomorrow Ricardo can rest for a day." "The next day was race day, which meant that Quaresma didn't have to race.

I don't know if it's good news or bad news.

Millwall have won the league title, and the rest of the league has lost its meaning, but it may be important for players to participate, and if they perform well in competitions, they can increase their exposure, increase their fame, and get bonuses for goals and assists.

Wait a minute.

Quaresma hadn't slept well the day before, and after another day of training, his fitness was not guaranteed, so he had to go home and rest.

At this time, the attention of the British media has all been on the two games--

One is the FA Cup final.

One is the Champions League final.

Both of these games are very important, and the Champions League is certainly more interesting than the Champions League in the final of the two trophies, especially when the two English teams play a 'civil war', which makes the English media even more excited.

On the contrary, for the league, few people pay attention to it.

Millwall have already secured the league title ahead of schedule and there is no suspense in the race for second place in the league, with United six points clear of Chelsea and essentially locked up second place.

Third in the league is Chelsea.

The competition for fourth place is the fiercest, and the fourth place will have to qualify for the Champions League, otherwise you will have to play in the Europa League.

Arsenal and Liverpool will need to do their best to fight for points in the final two games.

————

The 37th round of the English league officially began, and Millwall travelled to Liverpool City to challenge Everton at Goodison Park.

For the last two rounds of the league, Zhang Yang's idea is 'training'.

Play the game with preparation, give the main players the right opportunities to stay fit, and give the substitutes a chance to help share the pressure of the game.

Win or lose, it doesn't matter.

Victory, of course, is the best. Millwall are unbeaten so far in the league, and Zhang Yang also hopes that the team can end unbeaten; Failure, it doesn't matter. Except for an unbeaten honor, the last two rounds of the league mean nothing to the team.

Before the game, Everton players lined up on both sides of the tunnel to welcome Millwall.

It's the treatment that the championship wins.

Millwall experienced it last season and there was nothing to be excited about other than to feel honored.

The players were relaxed and the performance in the game was good.

At the end of the ninety minutes, the score on the scoreboard was 1-1.

Millwall drew with Everton.

Of course, the result doesn't matter, Millwall have already won the league title, and this one is all about training, with a few substitutes who have made fewer appearances and are in the starting line-up for the game.

Under such a lineup, Millwall's strength has been greatly affected, not only can not play an advantage, but also was suppressed by Everton at home, the team's only goal, from Zhang Yang's use of the effect of 'walking the talk', the in-form Sean Davies, pressed the small penalty line to score a header.

At the end of the game, Millwall returned to the club.

The next morning was a crucial time as Millwall, AC Milan and the media were all waiting for UEFA's press conference.

Ten o'clock.

UEFA officially held a press conference to announce the results of the punishment of both parties to the Champions Cup brawl, and two players were heavily punished, one was Seedorf, who provoked the incident, and the other was Livermore, who staged a live PK show.

Among them, Seedorf has been banned for six months, and UEFA has also said that it will ask FIFA to impose a global ban on Seedorf.

Livermore was banned for four months.

This decision made the Italian media very dissatisfied, because the next June, July and August are basically the players' vacation period, and there are not a few games together, Livermore was not selected for the England team before, and the national team did not participate in the game, and the actual ban is equivalent to only one month.

One month?

What's the use of that punishment!

The dissatisfaction of the Italian media is completely useless, because UEFA believes that Livermore has been severely punished, the main thing is that Livermore is not the player who caused the accident, he is at best 'fighting harder', who is to blame for the low level of AC Milan players' fighting? It was only after considering Livermore's fight that the influence of the brawl in the arena was expanded that he was heavily punished.

The latter point is true.

In fact, few fans will like to watch videos of players fighting, because often player fights are an action, and Livermore turned the fight into a 'reality show', and his 'reality show' short video, the first ranking of online views, lasted for up to three days, and it can still rank in the top three of European GG searches.

Such an influence must be taken into account.

Livermore was not the player who caused the incident, he was at most helping the 'bullied' Simpson, and it can be clearly seen in the video footage that before and after Gattuso pushed Simpson, Simpson did not take the initiative.

The Italian media's understanding of this is that "Simpson is somewhat afraid of Gattuso." ”

This statement also indirectly increases Gattuso's responsibility for 'provocative provocation' and relieves Livermore's responsibility for 'friendly help'.

The other players were also punished one by one.

After a detailed review of the reports submitted by the referee and the investigation team, UEFA imposed penalties on the players who were responsible for the incident, with Millwall and AC Milan each being fined 170,000 euros, and a total of five players from both sides except Seedorf and Livermore.

Braniff certainly couldn't escape, and that black kick to Seedorf earned him a five-game suspension.

AC Milan midfielder Gattuso was banned for seven games, Ambrosini was suspended for four games, defender Kaladze was banned for two games, Gilardino's 'cowardice' helped him, he was only banned once, AC Milan was unhappy about this, because Gilardino did nothing, but UEFA believed that Gilardini was involved in the incident, but he did not make a move later, and various video footage corroborates this statement.

The bans for all five players will only apply to the UEFA Champions League and will not affect their participation in domestic league and national team competitions.

Finally, UEFA said that "the player has three days to appeal. ”

After UEFA announced the sanctions, the new president, Michel Platini, said in an interview: "Players have a lot of rights, but they also have to fulfill a lot of duties. ”

"Stadium brawls have a very bad impact, for the fans, for the development of the football industry as a whole, and UEFA will resolutely resist this situation and deal with it as long as it happens."

UEFA's punishment is still relatively severe.

Millwall have only two players involved, one is Livermore, who won't want to play until September, and the other is Braniff.

Zhang Yang, on the other hand, believes that Braniff will be punished more heavily, and that Braniff will not be able to participate in four group games next season, including the upcoming Champions League final.

Livermore was banned for four months, and it was almost over when the Champions League group stage began, but the previous league games, the World Club Cup, the Community Shield and other events in August could not be participated.

These competitions are relatively easy, and the Champions League is the most important venue.

But in any case, UEFA's penalty has been decided, and even if it is appealed, the outcome will not change much.

Of course, an appeal is a must.

As long as the player can be suspended for one less game, it is well worth it, so Millwall FC, helping Livermore and Braniff, appealed separately.

After that, it's time to wait.

At this time, the smoke of the Champions League final has been burned, and many media pay attention to the results of UEFA's main penalty, the purpose is also to analyze the Champions League final, if it is a full squad Millwall, most of the media dare not say that they are optimistic about Chelsea, because Chelsea has lost to Millwall too many times, Millwall seems to have become Chelsea's nemesis, and Zhang Yang has also become Mourinho's nemesis.

If the lineup is not complete, it will be different.

Livermore and Braniff are both Millwall's best performers in the second half of the schedule, and neither of them can play for the team, so the impact must be not small.

As a result, many media outlets turned to Chelsea.

Chelsea have been consistent of late, winning all of their league games over the past month, and in the Champions League semi-finals, beating a slightly stronger Manchester United side in a consistent manner, enough to be favourites.

Millwall's results are also very good, but Millwall is missing two main players, and it becomes uncertain what they can do.

In this atmosphere of public opinion, Millwall ushered in the final round of the league as they faced Arsenal at Neil Stadium who shouted the slogan 'Must Win'.
