201 Heavy fines
Liverpool beat Chelsea 1-0 at home, with the Reds taking all three points; Although Manchester United also won the game in this round, Liverpool still clung to the Red Devils in the standings. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not an easy thing to do, and both Liverpool and Manchester United are under a lot of pressure right now.
There are only five league games left, but the two teams are now only one game apart, which means that either Liverpool or Manchester United have a chance to win the league title, and perhaps the Premier League title will not be known until after the final round of the season.
It's exciting for Premier League fans, and the suspenseful championship battle is the most exciting and attractive.
Last season's Premier League title race was very worrying, and it wasn't until the final round of the league that the league title was decided by goal difference, which was really full of suspense.
This season has come again, or it is very likely that there will be such a drama.
Last season was the Manchester duo, and this season they are two of the most successful football clubs in England's history.
It's just that for Qin Lang and his teammates, they didn't feel happy because they won Chelsea at home, in fact, they can't be happy at all now, there is no doubt about it.
The team won only 1-0, and in the second half Liverpool were more passive for a lot of the time, they were just trying to parry.
Although they won Chelsea, there were also many unexpected situations in the game; No one cheered for the winners, what appeared was an overwhelming mockery of the Reds, some doubts about Liverpool's victory.
Suarez's bite, Sturridge's malicious flying tackle, these are all taunts and attacks on Liverpool, this is what Liverpool is doing to win the game.
Although Suarez's misdeeds escaped the referee's eyes during the game, the move caused an uproar in the British media after the game when people saw the facts through repeated viewing of the broadcast footage.
Perhaps aware of the seriousness of the situation, Suarez issued a statement on his personal Twitter shortly after the match, publicly apologizing for his uncool behavior.
"I am deeply remorseful for the accident that happened this afternoon, and my actions are indeed unforgivable. I would like to apologize to Ivan, the fans and everyone in football. I'm really, really sorry for everyone. ”
Suarez immediately issued a public apology on social media, saying that he had spoken to Ivan on the phone and had been understood that he would find an opportunity to apologize to the Chelsea defender in person.
It's just that everyone knows that although Suarestan apologized, his actions have seriously damaged Liverpool's image. While waiting for the FA to be fined, there will be penalties within the club.
Liverpool, of course, don't want to punish Suarez at this time, but they are still waiting for the FA's investigation, which is likely to be a ticket. Liverpool hope that they will not really punish Suarez, especially at a sensitive time like this.
Biting people is very rare on the football field, but it did happen.
Although Suarez publicly apologized after the game, this is the second time in his career that he has bitten in a game and he could face a heavy penalty from the FA.
Suarez has a history of biting. In November 10, he was playing for Ajax at the time and was banned for seven games by the Dutch Football Association for biting someone during a match.
Coming to Liverpool, Suarez is still on a bad record; Last season, against Manchester United, he was suspended for eight games by the FA and fined £40,000 for attacking defender Patrice Evra with racist language.
Although Suarez has scored quite a few league goals this season, he has also been named in the Professional Footballers' Association's shortlist for the Premier League's Player of the Season of the Season. It's just that Suarez's excellent performance will be tarnished by some of his vices on the pitch.
The most important thing is that according to the FA's previous punishments, it is impossible to ignore him.
It's going to be fateful, the next five rounds of the league are too important for Liverpool; If Suarez is suspended, the loss for Liverpool is too great. Although the team's offensive performance has improved slightly this season, everyone also understands that Suarez is the real soul and heart of the Reds' forward line.
It's too sensitive at this point in time for Liverpool to relax and they can't afford to make any mistakes. They have to win to keep their hopes of winning the title.
If the absolute core of the team's attack is suspended, it may not affect the team's performance on the defensive end, but if the team can't score goals and can't get three points, then it may be too extravagant and unrealistic to talk about winning the league.
Liverpool's top brass will definitely be working hard at this time, and they will hope to use some connections and influence to reduce the storm of Suarez's bite. Maybe you can't avoid being punished, just don't be too serious.
Now many people are attacking Suarez in various ways, and fans are joking that Tyson has an extra confidant; In fact, full of irony, after biting Ivanovic, Suarez immediately added a big-name fan to his Twitter: former heavyweight champion Tyson.
It's not news that Tyson bites people, and it's one of the biggest black spots in Tyson's career; During the World Heavyweight Championship in '97, Tyson angrily bit his opponent Holyfield's ear. After that mouthful, Tyson became famous, but it also made him a thousand fingers. Tyson was fined $2 million for the ear biting incident, and boxing champion Tyson began to slowly step down from the altar.
Fans and the media are criticizing Suarez, especially considering that this is not the first time Suarez has bitten, so some things seem even more ironic at this time.
If it is just a first-time offense, it may cause a lot of turmoil and encounter overwhelming accusations, and it is unforgivable to make such mistakes again and again. Even if this is only Suarez's first bite in the Premier League, it is not the first time in the history of his bite!
Liverpool's famous or former manager also stepped up at this time, and it is normal for Suarez to be the target of public criticism.
Former Liverpool midfield superstar Jimmy Redknapp believes Suarez's actions are inexplicable, while Souness, who spent some time in the Liverpool managerial position, believes that Liverpool's image has been seriously affected by his actions.
This incident has indeed made headlines in major European media, and it is more topical than the ownership of the league titles, and more topical than the first leg of the upcoming Champions League semi-finals.
In fact, the FA's response was quite swift, but the day after the end of this game, the FA's official website announced that Liverpool striker Suarez had been charged with Ivanovic's biting behavior in the match against Chelsea!
Although Suarez publicly apologized to Ivan after the game, and the Merseyside Police Department also said that it would not open an investigation and prosecution against Suarez's violent acts, the FA is not prepared to let go of Bucktooth Sue's unsporting behavior on the pitch.
This not only hurts the image of Liverpool FC, but also has a very negative impact on the image of the Premier League.
According to some past experience, Suarez's behavior is basically inevitable to be banned, because the FA has already filed a case, and this matter is also a big trouble!
Suarez's actions amounted to violence, and an additional three-match suspension would not be enough under normal circumstances. In cases where a case has already been filed, Suarez must respond to the allegations, and the hearing will soon be convened by the FA to set up an independent monitoring committee.
Liverpool FC has already made a decision to fine Suarez, and Suarez has also said that he will donate the fine to the Hillsborough Family Support Organization.
It's clear that Ya Cha Su is starting to do a public relations crisis now, and he needs to pay attention to his image now. Even if it is only a small remedy, perhaps it is insignificant, it is unlikely that there will be much to restore his image.
Just, remedy it.
Suarez is now in huge trouble, there is no doubt about that.
For Suarez, his loss is more than a little; It's not just the club side that will pay at least £200,000 in fines, the FA will certainly have fines as well. And after this incident, his personal sponsor Adidas immediately approached the Liverpool striker to talk.
For Liverpool, because after Suarez's racial discrimination incident last year, the Reds' shirt sponsor, Warriors Sports, and Standard Chartered Bank, the sponsor of chest advertising, both issued warnings to Liverpool clubs, asking Liverpool clubs to deal with Suarez's racial discrimination incident. And now if such a thing happens, there will definitely be a warning.
Even though Liverpool have a good record this season, there have been some completely unacceptable behaviors that really affect the image.
Qin Lang and his teammates were very low-key at this time, and they knew that they could not support Suarez in such a matter, because Suarez himself was doing something wrong.
Perhaps the turmoil caused by Suarez was so great that Sturridge's malicious shovel was ignored at this time. All eyes are on Suarez right now, and he's now the target of the public through and through.
There is no doubt that Suarez's incident has a great impact; This incident not only put Liverpool on the cusp, but also affected the team's next preparations.
Originally, the team's plan was to prepare for the semi-final match against Dortmund as soon as the league was played, but now it is clear that there is no way to do so, at least Suarez will not be able to keep up with the big team for the time being, and he needs to attend a hearing.
The plans have been disrupted, and the team is now somewhat unable to concentrate on the next Champions League semi-final, because they are really worried about what kind of punishment Suarez will face.
The season is coming to a close, and Liverpool are in a rather delicate position in the league; In addition, this matter is quite bad, so the FA, which has always been bureaucratic in the past, is still very efficient, in fact, the FA is really timely and decisive in terms of punishment.
Suarez thinks he could be three games, according to the rule that players who have "violent behavior" are generally punished by a three-game suspension.
But when the punishment results came out, it caused an uproar.
In ten games, the FA has already issued a fine to Suarez; Ten games that were unmistakable, and despite Suarez's quick post-match apology to the Chelsea players, the FA still issued a severe fine.
This means that Liverpool's appeal is unsuccessful, which means that Suarez will not only miss the last four league games of the season, but will also miss the first two months of next season's English competition, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Liverpool, who are still looking to recover, and Suarez will also be completely out of the competition for the league golden boot this season.
The decision made by the Independent Oversight Committee shocked both the Liverpool club hierarchy and the players, and it was truly incredible to issue such a severe fine at such a sensitive time, and the blow to Liverpool was too great!
Qin Lang and his teammates were dumbfounded, watching Suarez listlessly rush to Dortmund to join the team, and the morale of the team was self-evident.
Suarez was unable to play at the critical moment of the league title race, which almost made Liverpool, who were already passive in the title race, even worse!
Because this point in time is a little too sensitive, Suarez was not given any time to adjust at all; After receiving a heavy penalty, Ya Chasu needs to join up with the team immediately and they need to start the Champions League semi-finals.
It is a blessing in misfortune, although he suffered a heavy penalty of ten games in the league, it will not affect Suarez's appearance in the Champions League. Liverpool can continue to go far in the Champions League and they still have a chance to beat Borussia Dortmund to reach the Champions League final.
Yes, Liverpool's goal is the Champions League final; Because among the four teams in the Champions League semi-finals, it is obvious that Liverpool and Dortmund are relatively weak in this group. Barcelona and Bayern's death, this is the pinnacle showdown!
Strong fighting spirit, Liverpool must overcome Suarez at this time to suffer a heavy penalty blow; To some extent, this is also Suarez's own fault, who let him really bite, this can't be washed in vain.
Focus on the Champions League for the time being, and don't think about the league yet; For Liverpool, all they need is to play well in the game in front of them, they simply don't have the ability to look further ahead!
Strive to get rid of Dortmund and try to get that advantage and initiative away from home; No matter what, you have to go further and fight for the heavyweight title.
Liverpool's players are looking forward to the heavyweight championship, and Qin Lang is also looking forward to the honor of the Big Ears Cup and the league championship; During his time at Bayern, he had already tasted the beauty of being at the top of the mountain and seeing the mountains at a glance. Last season's domestic cup competition in England couldn't satisfy Qin Lang's appetite, and now he needs a heavyweight champion! (To be continued.) )
