Chapter 1404 Champion Aesthetic Fatigue
Andy Gray: "The referee Dodd blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the Newcastle United players at St. James' Park ended with their heads held high. Compared with the Liverpool players, the mood was undoubtedly much lower. The recent period is undoubtedly a very bad period for Liverpool. They once led the runner-up Manchester City by seven league points in the league. At that time, there were only three rounds left in the league. Celebrate the championship! However, the result is that Liverpool was defeated by Chelsea, tied with crazy goals by Crystal Palace, and now they are one goal behind Newcastle United in the first half of the game. It seems that the Premier League trophy is going away from Liverpool."
"In fact, Liverpool's performance is not only bad in the league. In the Champions League, they were led by two goals in the second round by Atletico Madrid, and they evened the score at the end of the game. At 1:10 minutes of extra time, a penalty kick was awarded. If it weren't for the heroic performance of goalkeeper Keylor Navas, I am afraid that Liverpool will be dragged into a penalty shootout by Atletico Madrid."
"Many people are studying why Liverpool performed so poorly at the end of the season. There are two major reasons for the mainstream view. The first pair of champions have aesthetic fatigue! When players have won too many championships, they will inevitably have aesthetic fatigue with the championship. This is one of the reasons why so many teams in football history have fallen sharply after their glory days."
"In the 2000-2001 season, Manchester United under Ferguson's coaching completed the three consecutive championships in the league. He became the first football coach in the history of English football to complete a hat-trick of the top league championship. At that time, Ferguson had announced his retirement after coaching the next season, However, in the new season, that is, the 2001-2002 season, Manchester United lost all four players, ranked third in the league, stopped in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and was eliminated by Mildersburg in the FA Cup. For this reason, Ferguson changed his mind about retirement and continued to coach Manchester United."
"Under Mourinho's coaching, Inter Milan won the triple crown that shocked everyone! However, after the triple crown, Inter Milan's performance plummeted without losing the main players. In the second season, it only won Runner-up in the league, they couldn't even participate in the Champions League in the third season, they only got No.6 in the league! In the third season, Inter Milan ranked No.9 in the league! This is the first time since Inter Milan missed the European Cup in 65 years Fight! Three seasons ago, it was the Triple Crown, and after three seasons, Inter Milan has become a mid-range team in Serie A."
"According to statistics, from the middle of the 2009-2010 season when Levi fired Benitez to take over Liverpool, and now the 2013-2014 season is coming to an end, in just three and a half seasons, Levi has led Liverpool to two championships. Premier League champions, two Champions League champions, one Europa League champion, two League Cup champions, two Community Shield champions, three European Super Cup champions, two Club World Cup champions! A total of [-] championship trophies! Average Liverpool players can win a championship trophy every three months! But this is not the end, on the contrary, if Liverpool can continue to win, they still have a chance to win three championship trophies, so that their average time to win the championship will be further reduced."
"But it is probably because there are too many championships, so Liverpool players have begun to lose that desire for championships."
"The second mainstream reason is physical fitness! We all know that Liverpool's running distance per game has always been among the best in the Premier League, and even ranked first in the Champions League! The hidden danger brought by such high-intensity running is the lack of physical fitness of the players. This can also explain why in this crucial game, Liverpool did not start with a full main lineup, but a half main lineup. It is not that Li Wei underestimated Newcastle United, it is really that the players urgently need to rest and restore their physical fitness to prepare for the FA Cup championship and Champions League."
"Just judging from the current situation, it is hard to say whether Liverpool can win the FA Cup, but it is not a problem to lose this league championship due to physical problems."
…………
"I don't think it's too late to go to Manchester City Stadium," FA chairman David Bernstein told Premier League chief executive Scudemore with a smile.
Another game that is related to the home of the league championship is also a 1:0 score, but the difference is that Manchester City is the home team, and they are 1:0 away from West Ham United.
Without financial incentives, although West Ham United can't be considered negative, don't expect them to have much enthusiasm. You can only say that they play with basic professional ethics and ensure that the team does not concede. Launch a limited counterattack.It is best if you can steal a goal, and it doesn't matter if you can't steal a goal.
It is basically certain that Manchester City will beat West Ham United, the question is just how many goals Manchester City will beat West Ham United.
Premier League CEO Scudemore also maintained a superficial demeanor: "I don't want to be Mr. Johansson, and we may be more embarrassing than Mr. Johansson."
In the 1999 Champions League final, the game was coming to an end, Bayern Munich also led Manchester United 1-0.The UEFA president at the time, Johansson, stood up. He walked to the elevator and was about to go to the stadium to present awards to the champion Bayern Munich. When he passed in front of the famous Manchester United star Bobby Charlton, he said "sorry" to him to show his comfort , and UEFA staff have already begun to tie Bayern-colored ribbons to the famous "big ears" trophy.
The result was that Manchester United scored two goals in 3 minutes of stoppage time and reversed Bayern Munich 2:1. This is also the famous black 3 minutes in the Champions League final.
Afterwards, Johansson was naturally a little embarrassed.
But Johansson is just a small embarrassment, but in case Liverpool reversed Newcastle United in this game, and the FA chairman David Bernstein and the Premier League CEO David Bernstein, who were originally the guests of the awards, came to the Manchester City Stadium, then it would be General embarrassment.
David Bernstein laughed: "It was just a little joke."
Scudemore glanced at David Bernstein meaningfully, and said, "But Levi won't think it's a little joke."
Scudemore knows why David Bernstein supports Manchester City because David Bernstein is the former Manchester City chairman!It is also because there is a very important clause in the chairman of the FA, which stipulates that the chairman of the FA must resign at the age of 70, and David Bernstein is actually 70 years old, but he persuaded other FA executives, He believes that the work of the FA should not be affected at this point in time, and he should step down after the end of the season.
But this world is just David Bernstein's reinforcements. David Bernstein is convincing other Premier League teams to try to get the consent of the Premier League teams to let him break the rules and still serve as Premier League players after the age of 70. Chairman of the Football Association.For this reason, he clearly supported Manchester City to win the championship, hoping to get the support of Manchester City and clubs close to Manchester City, especially Manchester City's money, which will be an important factor for him to break the rules.
But in Scudemore's view, David Bernstein has gone a little crazy in order to be re-elected as FA chairman.He doesn't even look at the fact that after offending Li Wei, even if he wins Manchester City, will he be able to be re-elected?
Levi's influence in the FA is not low. He has also led the England national team to the semi-finals of the European Cup!He also has a good relationship with many British internationals. At the Premier League level, several clubs have a very good relationship with Liverpool.
What's more, these celebrities all know a piece of news that they don't know whether it's true or not. Levi is probably the illegitimate son of Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster.Although this news is false, one thing is certain is that the relationship between Levi and Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster is very close, far from the simple relationship between ordinary godfather and godson.When Levi bought Liverpool, Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, provided him with a low-interest loan of [-] million pounds, as well as political asylum, so that the two American bosses at the time wanted to use American power to prevent the completion of the transaction. The means failed.
It really made Levi anxious, and forced Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster behind Levi, to make a move himself. David Bernstein, let alone being re-elected as the chairman of the FA, might be exposed Several scandals made it impossible for him to retire with peace of mind.
