Chapter 470: In Chaos

For Suarez after his comeback, the pressure is everywhere.In the 30th minute of Monday's game at Anfield, the Uruguayan happened to walk past the Tottenham supporters as he warmed up on the sidelines for the first time.Tottenham fans immediately sang together: "Are you Terry in disguise?" Suarez has been suspended in the Premier League several times for insulting Evra.The bigger test is still this Saturday: the Red Army is a guest at Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United, and Suarez will surely become the public enemy of the Theater of Dreams.

Before the war, Old Trafford was aggressive, pulling out its "teeth" as much as possible, trying to defeat others without fighting.Seeing that Suarez made a bad move in the match between Liverpool and Tottenham, Ferdinand, who was watching the match in front of the TV, immediately typed a few words on Twitter: "If the referee sees Suarez's kick and wants to draw a card, it should be It's a red card." Gary Neville and Ferdinand, who are the guest commentators of Sky Sports Channel, sang together: "He's so lucky."

Ancelotti also intentionally put pressure on his opponents before the double red meeting.In an interview with n on Monday, An Shuai continued to lash out at racism, saying: "I have coached a group of outstanding black players, and I enjoy working with them. I don't understand how these racist things come out, But now is the time for us to deal with it together, to be tough on any form of racism, and to be firm. It's 2012, and it's unbelievable that there is such a thing. Maybe 20 years ago, there was such a thing. Make people understand."

Media advice: Before Saturday's big fight, Ferdinand had better keep a low profile on related events.The Football Association quickly asked the Red Army and the Red Devils not to add fuel to the fire after the game on Monday.

But all parties worry about Saturday's game, Manchester United and Suarez may repeat the scene of the qpr team refusing to shake hands with Terry in the FA Cup.The Football Association is not worried about this.Their basis is that this is a live broadcast event in 212 countries, and the two giants will definitely maintain the overall image from the interests of the clubs.After all, the derby between qpr and Chelsea is more like a tribal war than a "double red world war".What's more, when the two teams faced each other in the last round of the FA Cup, they also followed the etiquette.

Whether Evra and Suarez shake hands at that time becomes a matter of personal choice.Taylor, the president of the professional players union, has called on the two players to make peace, "Shake hands and it's over. If the situation continues to ossify, and things continue to stay at the initial stage, then the work will be wasted. We will lose a war. "Manchester United fans will not let go of any chance to provoke Suarez.

Red Devils fans issued a warning online on Monday: "What do you think will happen at Old Trafford on Saturday? Do you think Manchester United fans will welcome Suarez with enthusiasm? Think!"

Suarez has become a top negative figure from a star admired by the Premier League because of his unscrupulous words, which is really his own fault.

Grayby, director of the Football Anti-Discrimination League, believes that even if the Uruguayans suffer all kinds of abuse in the Dream Theater, they will have to swallow their buck teeth: "I hope Manchester United fans stand on the moral high ground and let others go, but from anti-discrimination From a league perspective, I also understand that Manchester United fans will boo him.

Because his handling of the FA decision made things worse, he should have raised his hands and said 'I didn't realize it was wrong to say that, now I do'. Suarez himself continued to be rebellious. After facing Tottenham, he declared that he would never apologize to Evra. Meetings, United fans would boo me and try to make me unhappy.But I'm going to tell them if you want to boo I'll let it go and I'll fight back with goals. "

On the day of the Double Red Meeting, as expected by the media, things really happened!

In this round of the Premier League red war, the national derby between Manchester United and Liverpool officially started at Old Trafford. It has been remembered in the hearts of every player, and the players on both sides don't even need any mobilization.

As the focus of conflicts and grievances between the two teams before the game, the right and wrong between Evra and Suarez has already become the focus of heated discussions in the entire English football world. During the confrontation, Evra was suspected of racial discrimination and insulting Manchester United Iron Gate Evra, which was banned by the FA for 8 games.

Although the head coaches of the two sides, Ancelotti and Dalglish, "fired" the two Evra and Suarez who were in the center of the storm before the game, and repeatedly declared that they hoped that the two players could try their best in the handshake ceremony before the game. Maintained demeanor and friendliness, but obviously, Suarez and Evra did not take the coach's words to heart.

Before the start of the game, Suarez, wearing a Liverpool logo jacket, appeared at the end of the Red Army line. After shaking hands with referee Dodd, he faced the No.1 player in the Manchester United line, that is, his old man. The enemy Evra, Suarez actually chose to take back his right hand directly, without even looking at Evra, he quickly found Manchester United's No.2 player De Gea to shake hands.

On the contrary, for Manchester United captain Evra, he was obviously ignored and humiliated by Suarez. He wanted to extend his right hand in a friendly way to "turn the fight into nothingness", but unexpectedly "the hot face was stuck to the cold butt". Standing empty-handed in the cold wind...Unwilling to be reconciled under the rage, Evra directly grabbed Suarez's arm, as if he wanted to shake his hand forcibly, and cursed in his mouth, as if to say: "How can you be so unmannered?" ?”

Fortunately, his teammate and big brother Ferdinand helped him win back. This time it was Suarez's turn to "stick a hot face with a cold ass". When Uruguay reached out to find Ferdinand, the latter directly rejected Suarez's kindness , said something clearly in his mouth... Fortunately, the referee Dodd suppressed the unknown fire in the hearts of both sides in time, and the game was able to start normally.

The matter is far from over. The racial discrimination incident between Evra and Suarez has given special significance to the rematch between the two in this game.Judging from the score, Evra was the final winner, but from the beginning to the end of the game, Evra seemed unable to get out of the shadow that Suarez had planted in his heart. It has already started.

Before the game, even Liverpool coach Dalglish publicly stated: "Suarez will shake hands with all Manchester United players including Evra. I believe that the two teams will play in a harmonious atmosphere."

But when the players from both sides started to shake hands with each other, Suarez slammed Evra fiercely. Facing Evra's enthusiastically extended right hand, Suarez passed by as if nothing was there, and directly shook hands with De Gea. Annoyed, Evra grabbed Suarez's arm and scolded the Uruguayans for disrespecting him with his eyes. The team leader Ferdinand also helped Evra by refusing to shake hands with Suarez, but it was irreparable. Evra's humiliated dignity.

After the game started, Evra still failed to get justice from Suarez, but was frequently teased by his opponents.

Only 1 minute into the game, Suarez and Ferdinand competed for the ball. Seeing Evra rushing towards him fiercely with anger, the cunning Liverpool striker suddenly slowed down and retreated to avoid it. At the same time, he pushed Ferdinand out with an extremely concealed movement. Evra and Ferdinand collided fiercely. Evra directly shoveled his teammate to the ground. Ferdinand, who had too much forward momentum, almost stood on his head and landed on his face first. The Manchester United boss clutched his neck in pain and knelt down. I'm sorry, Evra was very depressed after getting up, and could only glance at Suarez with a calm expression in the distance with resentment.

At the end of the first half, Suarez counterattacked with the ball at high speed, and the first line of defense he had to face was his old enemy Evra. As a result, the poor French veteran was easily passed by Suarez like a wooden stake. Although Ferdinand stabbed Suarez's ball away from behind, which once again pulled the fig leaf for Evra, his defensive action was really risky. You must know that Dodd is the referee who has shown the most yellow cards in the league. There is a slight deviation in the penalty perspective, and Ferdinand is very likely to be sent off as a tactical foul by the last defensive player and sent off directly.

The most maddening moment for Evra came in the 80th minute, when Ferdinand sent Charlie Adam's free kick to Suarez, who was unmarked in front of the goal, and the Uruguayan striker easily scored.

Although Ferdinand was responsible for the ball, the TV broadcast shifted the camera to Evra quite connotatively, and the Frenchman's cloudy expression completely exposed his negative emotions.

Opta's post-match statistics show that Evra is the player with the least number of passes in the team except for the goalkeeper position. He has only 10 counter-robbers in 2 conceded goals, and the defense zone he guarded failed to withstand the opponent's rounds of bombing. After being beaten by Sturridge in the last game, Evra failed to show the slightest sense of defensive superiority in front of Suarez and Glenn Johnson in this campaign.

It can be said that Evra is one of the worst players in the team's victory.Worse was Evra's hysterical celebration after the final whistle.

That kind of emotional catharsis and burst of joy is like the team has won the league championship trophy.Evra even rushed in front of Suarez and danced wildly, causing the referee Dodd to stop him immediately. The demeanor Evra showed when shaking hands before the game was completely lost at this moment. "Sky Sports" comments after the game also expressed dissatisfaction with Evra's exaggerated celebration, and bluntly said that this was definitely a mistake, and at the same time unceremoniously scored the team's lowest score for Evra.

Even Ancelotti, who has always been used to defending his disciples, admitted frankly: "Evra really shouldn't do this."

Why did Evra, who rarely showed his emotions, explode like this?

On the one hand, this is because the humiliation he suffered on Suarez has broken through his own tolerance bottom line, on the other hand, I am afraid that it should be attributed to Evra's heavy game tasks.

Evra said frankly in an interview with Manchester United's official TV: "The team's injury situation is suffocating. All of us have survived until now with a single spirit."

This is especially true for Evra, the "player who needs the least rotation". The team's chief model worker.

Evra said that the competition for the league championship is like a marathon, and there is a long way to go.But now it seems that when the team is about to enter the sprint stage, Evra, who has consumed too much before, has a tendency to be overwhelmed.The defensive crisis derived from the assist style, the psychological shadow caused by the racism storm, and the physical fatigue accumulated by overloading, the former iron man seems to be unable to hold under the alternate brilliance of body and spirit.

At the same time, another veteran of the team's defense was about to be crushed.Outside the game, Ferdinand is still as energetic as he was when he was young. After Capello resigned as the England coach, the "Twitter Emperor" even satirized the poor English of the Italian iron coach through Twitter, which was in stark contrast to other players who remained silent. Compared.

But back on the field, the former England's number one central defender showed his old age. It is undeniable that Ferdinand made several key interceptions in the game, including a 39-on-42 in the [-]th minute that destroyed the goal of Dirk Drivet and Suarez in the penalty area. Cooperate, and blocked Skrtel's threatening volley in the penalty area in time in the [-]nd minute, but a suspected red card and an own goal assist on Suarez were enough to destroy Ferdinand's defensive talent in this game Show - Ferdinand fell at the feet of the enemy he least wanted to fall at.

Before the game, Ferdinand refused to shake hands with Suarez in order to vent his anger on his teammate Evra. Put Suarez behind his back and almost get a red card", but he almost made a big mistake for himself.

The 33-year-old Ferdinand is no longer the defensive master who makes the opponent's forwards despair, but after all, he is still a big man in the Manchester United team who dares to stand up for his teammates. According to the report from Danish Channel 6 after the game, Ferdinand and Liverpool's defensive tough guy Agger found a place to "lefight" (lefight) after the game.

In fact, Smalling and Phil Jones have already begun to attack Leo's main position, and Ancelotti also intends to promote the two young players in advance this season.It is a pity that a large area of ​​injuries disrupted Ferguson's plan, and also made the two veterans Ferdinand and Evra can only continue to work hard in their respective jobs and helplessly overdraw themselves.

I don't know when this entanglement will end, is it the moment when the door of the ward opens?Or the moment when Glazer's pockets were opened?

The hustle and bustle of the double red meeting here has not yet died down, and the blue team Chelsea has made headlines again.

Chelsea's record is sluggish, and under tremendous pressure, some contradictions have also surfaced. According to the British media, the authority of the head coach Villas-Boas in the locker room has dropped to the lowest point, and the Blues players even had a quarrel with the boss in front of Abramovich. .

The "Daily Mirror" disclosed that after Chelsea lost 0 to 2 to Everton, Abramovich entered the locker room again. He continued to express his support for Villas-Boas and asked the players to fully support the coach.

The newspaper said that the introduction of Boas last summer was Abramovich's own idea. In addition, the young coach is now fired. Together with the compensation for cleaning Ancelotti at the end of last season, the Russians will have to pay a cumulative liquidated damages of 2800 million pounds. , can be described as expensive.

However, the complaints of the Chelsea players seemed to be overwhelmed. Before Sunday's training, Abramovich entered the locker room again. This time he encountered the players' "remonstrance". The "Daily Mirror" stated that when Abramovich and Boas were present at the same time, some old players clearly expressed concerns about tactics, management methods, and team employment. When Boas refuted, the tone of both sides changed. It got intense and even turned into a quarrel.

What sparked the conflict was Villas-Boas's punitive measures. After Saturday's loss to Everton, he canceled Sunday's rest and forced the team to practice an extra day, which annoyed some veteran players and eventually break out. "Daily Mirror" said that Abramovich has witnessed all this, but he once again stressed to the players that he still fully supports Boas.In the current situation, this is probably the only thing Abramovich can do.

The "Sun" said that many Chelsea players have "indifferent" to Boas, and they no longer care whether the young coach will be fired.A club source said: "By the New Year the players were backing him because they knew Villas-Boas had been ordered to make changes to the team. But his plan clearly didn't work and the atmosphere in the locker room was getting tense and increasingly tense. The more players doubt whether he is the right candidate for the coach." According to the "Sun", currently only David Luiz, Ramirez and Bosingwa are left behind to support Boas.

The "Daily Mail" reported that many Chelsea players were dissatisfied with Villas-Boas's tactics, and there were even voices in the team to invite Hiddink back.The newspaper said that once the Blues and the top four goals of the Premier League drift away, Abramovich may be forced to consider Hiddink's backup plan. After Scolari was fired in 2009, the Dutch coach went to Stamford Bridge to fight the fire and led the The team won the FA Cup.Today, Hiddink is at home and was photographed playing golf in the Netherlands yesterday. He has always refused to talk about the possibility of returning to Chelsea.

However, when Boas was besieged on all sides, an unexpected person stood up to support him, that is, Lampard, who was deprived of his main position by him at the beginning of the season.After the loss to Everton, the young coach claimed that he was fully responsible, but the Chelsea team claimed that the whole team was responsible. "Of course we all have a responsibility, it's a team thing," Lampard said. "We have to dig ourselves out of the woods and if we perform like we did against Everton, it will be difficult to play against Napoli. Some new players come in, but whatever. Whoever plays has to meet the standards Chelsea have set."

So far, Villas-Boas is still able to keep his coaching position, but if he wants to stay in the post after the summer, Abramovich's minimum requirement is to lead Chelsea to the top four in the Premier League and keep the Champions League qualification.If this goal cannot be achieved, no one will be able to retain the young coach, and judging from the current signs, the Portuguese is losing authority and control in Chelsea's dressing room, and the road ahead for the rest of the season will become extremely difficult.
