At the last moment, Clattenburg used an unreasonable penalty kick to lose the victory that was about to be obtained. Tottenham's entire team was extremely angry about this result. You know, although Tottenham's lead in the Premier League has shrunk to one point before the start of this round of league games, no matter what, they still have the initiative in this championship battle.
It can even be said that as long as West Bromwich Albion can be defeated in this game, then with only four rounds of the league left and only Arsenal as a strong opponent after that, Tottenham has great hope of maintaining this one-point advantage. , thereby overpowering Chelsea to win the Premier League championship after more than 40 years!
However, although Tottenham players worked very hard in the game and did see the dawn of victory, the final result was that referee Clattenburg ruined their entire season's efforts with a non-existent penalty kick. !
It is for this reason that after the game, George had no intention of saving face for Clattenburg. He used extremely harsh words to criticize the referee at the press conference, and even bluntly criticized Clattenberg. It destroyed the principles of fairness and justice in football matches and "stole the victory that belonged to Tottenham" with an extremely despicable method!
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and George's clear statement immediately caused an uproar in English football. You know, although the refereeing issue has been criticized by the British media and various clubs, few people will target the referee so clearly like George!
Faced with George's accusations, Clattenberg naturally would not choose to sit still and wait for death. In an interview, the referee, who has been officiating in the Premier League for less than a year, refused to admit that he made serious mistakes during the game, insisting that there was nothing wrong with his penalty and Vidic should have been shown a red card! At the same time, Clattenberg also expressed the hope that the Premier League and the Disciplinary Committee will impose additional penalties on the "unreasonable" George Nelson and Tottenham Hotspur players, so that they will remember that on the court, the authority of the referee is sacred. Violating!
At this time, the family power behind George and the influence of his Viscount Koscielt played a considerable role. If another head coach had made such remarks, even if the person concerned was the famous Ferguson, the Premier League Disciplinary Committee and the Football Association would not hesitate to punish him in order to save their face.
George's situation is completely different. As a member of the traditional aristocracy, especially a person like George who has a very high status in the circle and has close relations with many powerful people, "private" organizations such as the Football Association and the Premier League Disciplinary Committee are absolutely unwilling to provoke them easily. of. What's more, George still has the absolute truth this time - the game video clearly shows that Vidic did not foul Richardson at all. The latter fell because his feet were mixed when he was dribbling the ball. . And, the most important thing is that when Richardson fell, he fell outside the penalty area!
He misjudged a player who fell outside the penalty area as a defensive foul in the penalty area, and was given a penalty kick and a red card. After the game, he still refused to admit his mistake. To be able to achieve this level, Clattenberg is considered capable.
Chelsea players and Mourinho are also very dissatisfied with this situation. In their view, even without Clattenburg, Chelsea, which has narrowed the point difference to one point, has every chance of surpassing Tottenham in the standings. The result is good now. After Clattenburg interfered with it, even if Chelsea won the league championship trophy at the end of the season, many people would say that the Blues had benefited from Clattenburg, otherwise it would have been impossible to win from Tottenham. Grab the top spot in the league!
What the hell is going on? We obviously have the ability to overtake Tottenham, why should we follow! With this thought, Chelsea players and Mourinho couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted with the troubled Clattenburg.
West Bromwich Albion's situation also became quite embarrassing after this draw. Because teams such as Crystal Palace, Norwich and Southampton, who are also fighting for relegation, have stated that this game, which is enough to affect the relegation situation of the Premier League this season, should be replayed on a different day and the victory should be changed to Tottenham. Tottenham cannot be allowed to suffer in vain injustice……
So, after Tottenham was tied with West Bromwich Albion because of Clattenburg, the incident began to develop in an extremely weird direction - whether it was Tottenham who suffered losses, or Chelsea and Chelsea who benefited from it. West Bromwich Albion, all three parties are extremely dissatisfied with Clattenburg!
In the end, under strong pressure from all parties, pgmol had no choice but to announce that it would launch an investigation into Clattenburg, and at the same time, during the investigation, Clattenburg would be deprived of the qualification to referee Premier League games!
The Premier League and the Disciplinary Committee also issued an announcement at the same time, announcing the revocation of Vidic's red card and the yellow card Kompany received during the protest. In addition, a spokesperson for the Premier League also stated that the draw between Tottenham and West Bromwich Albion is valid and there will be no replay of this game!
Seeing that it was a done deal, George had no choice but to accept the outcome, and kept Clattenberg's name firmly in his heart - Dunn, the last one who dared to show his power as a referee in front of me, has now gone to referee the English League One. It's a competition, don't think your end will be better than that guy's!
Compared with the Tottenham fans who are strongly criticizing Clattenburg, the Arsenal fans are quite happy at this time - although Arsenal is likely to end up with all four goals this season, it can mess up Tottenham's 44-year history. The dream of winning the league championship again is also something Gunners fans love to hear!
Therefore, regarding the team's defeat to Chelsea in the last round, Arsenal fans did not criticize the team's performance. On the contrary, many people were ecstatic about it and believed that the team helped Chelsea snipe Tottenham. What a great job in preventing our rival from the same city from winning the league!
Obviously, these fans would rather see Chelsea win the championship than watching Tottenham Hotspur, their century-old rival, stand on the championship podium at the end of the season!
In this way, three days after losing the top spot in the standings, on April 24, Tottenham, which had suffered two consecutive league defeats, ushered in the North London derby with Arsenal!
Although George wanted to give Arsenal a hard lesson in this derby and add to the Gunners' consecutive winless record in North London derbies, he did not put all the main players into the starting lineup, but sent out a team Set up a lineup of mixed substitutes and main players. This is because this North London derby is only three days away from Tottenham's direct Champions League first-round clash with Juventus. Therefore, if George sends the strongest lineup in this game and Tottenham's main force is consumed too much, Then in the Champions League semi-finals three days later, Tottenham's guest at the Alpstadion is likely to be taught by the experienced Bianconeri!
Goalkeeper Cech, right back Phil Neville, center backs Vermaelen and Dawson, left back Evra, Kompany, Speed and Davis form the back three, with Mendieta serving as the midfield commander. , on the front line is the tall and fast combination of Drogba and Ribery. This is Tottenham's starting lineup for this North London derby!
Arsenal, on the other hand, was kicked out of the Champions League by Juventus in the first round of the knockout round. The league also announced early that it was hopeless to defend the title. With only the FA Cup championship still left to contend for, Wen is preparing to add to Tottenham's problems. Naturally, Gerard had no intention of staying in this derby match - goalkeeper Lehmann, the defense of Laurent, Kolo Toure, Senderos and Ashley Cole lined up, and the midfielder The foursome is Vieira, Gilberto Silva, Fabregas and Robert Pires, with Van Persie and Reyes partnering up front!
Except for Ljungberg and Henry, who are missing due to injuries, and Campbell, whose condition has declined significantly this year, Wenger has sent out the strongest deck of cards in his hand. Obviously, the professor planned to take advantage of Tottenham's distraction and two consecutive defeats in the Champions League and the league to win this derby and beat Tottenham's lost dog!
