Chapter 216 Chapter [019] see the Europa League again [two chapters combined into one chapter]

"Controversial penalty, controversial ending!" England's "The Sun" used such a title to report on such a game after the match between Chelsea and Manchester City.It's normal, their focus is not on the progress of the game, but on the referee's controversial penalty at the end of the game. At the end of the game, Chelsea's Didier Drogba had already scored an equalizer goal, but at this time the referee blew the whistle for a foul, blowing off Chelsea's goal.At that time, the players of the Chelsea team were emotional, and they swarmed up one by one, surrounding the referee. Chelsea's coach Scolari was also cursing, and at the last moment he got a red card and was sent off.

At that time, as soon as this incident happened, Chelsea fans rioted in Manchester City Stadium, causing a series of sabotage incidents.Many seats in a stand in the Manchester City Stadium were burned, and according to statistics, more than 10 fans were injured as a result, but fortunately no one was killed, which minimized the incident.The report also mentioned that as soon as this incident happened, the Discipline Inspection Committee of the English Football Association began to investigate the matter. Obviously, this matter did not end there.

"Is it a black whistle? Or is it a career?" England's "Guardian" used this title to report on the game, and the content they reported was similar to that of the "Sun".Their focus was not on the efficient Xu Zhou, nor on Robinho who had just joined the Premier League, but on the penalty at the last moment. Indeed, making such a penalty at this time will attract attention. At that time, the referee had such a performance, and he had already made various preparations.The "Guardian" was also very surprised that such a thing happened. Although the fan disturbance did not cause too many casualties, it did have a great impact on the image of the Premier League.

Not only in England, there have been reports of fan riots in the English league all over Europe.Spain's "Aspen" also reported the news for the first time.Their headline read: Another large-scale fan riot broke out in England, and the casualties were astonishing!Their titles are still very attractive, and they have a bit of a sense of ridicule, and the word "again" tells the tone of it.Also, it shows that "Aspen" just wants to reflect that the English league is simply too chaotic. There are too many fan riots like this, and it names the poor football environment in the Premier League.And the casualties are astonishing, which is really shocking, so people can't help but pick up their newspapers and pay for them!

"Marca" did not let go of this opportunity. Now the Premier League and La Liga are fighting for the title of Europe's top league. When there is a blow to each other, of course they will not let it go.Don't think that fights only appear on the football field, fights are everywhere, as the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights!Only when there are endless fights, the rivers and lakes can be called rivers and lakes!

Germany's "Bild", "4-4-2", "Kicker" and other media also reported the news in the first place. Fortunately, their big reports were almost neutral and reported the news very objectively. Of course, there were some elements of ridicule in their reports.This matter did cause a very sensational impact in Italy. Major newspapers such as Gazzetta dello Sport, Gazzetta dello Sport, and Corriere dello Sport disclosed the news one after another. In their articles, the whole incident was obviously exaggerated. When the Italian football scandal broke out in the same year, the English media did a lot of work.This time, the Italian media made a good comeback!

Moreover, their focus was not on the fan riots, but on "match-fixing".They claim that match-fixing has existed in the Premier League for a long time, but there is no large-scale report and cup exposure.This game is a good proof. The referee on duty was definitely paid off. The final penalty was obviously a malicious misjudgment, and the referee’s multiple penalties in this game were still problematic. Therefore, the Italian media clamored that the Premier League game was manipulated and it was a match-fixing!

When the news spread across Europe, the whole of Europe was shocked.However, although they were shocked, they also thought it was unexpected and reasonable.At this stage, the Premier League has almost become the first league in Europe, and all their attention is very high.As Europe's No. [-] league, it is really shocking that such a serious fan riot would occur in an ordinary league.

But thinking about the fact that the fan riots happened in England, everyone is not surprised, because England is famous not only for football, but also for football hooligans.Moreover, this football hooligan seems to be more famous than football.Therefore, they also feel that it is reasonable for such a thing to happen in England.For, when such a thing happened, European fans also clearly understood the madness of England fans, and their understanding of football hooligans has deepened a lot.This incident definitely had a big impact on the Premier League.

Except for Europe, media newspapers all over the world have published this shocking news on their newspaper pages, and some places even put this on their front page headlines.So, in just a moment, this time in the English league became famous all over the world. Everyone was talking about it, and the word that appeared most often in their mouths was football hooligans.

When seeing these news, many fans all over the world thought it was a match-fixing, and they also pointed out that many games in this round of the Premier League were match-fixing and were all manipulated.Of course, many of the rioting fans screamed wildly, questioning that there were a lot of match-fixing in the Premier League in the past few seasons, especially in those seasons when the league championship was settled at the last moment. They all thought it was match-fixing.Some media also think so, thinking that this incident will definitely sweep the whole of England like the "Phonegate" incident in Italy in 2006.This game is just a cause, and a series of things will be exploded later.For a time, rumors spread everywhere, fiercer than locust chaos!

When newspapers all over the world were paying close attention to this matter, the English Football Association had already begun to get busy. They did not expect that the impact of this incident would be so great. This was just a very ordinary fan riot, and the scale was not very large. At most, it was just arson, and there were no casualties.However, the spread of this incident around the world was simply too fast and beyond their imagination, which caught them by surprise.Immediately, the English Football Association and the Premier League Discipline Inspection Committee held a press conference, claiming that they would start to intervene in this matter, conduct investigations, and impose severe punishments to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

And these people also said righteously: There is no match-fixing in the Premier League, no matter in the past or in the future, the Premier League will eliminate match-fixing!They don't want some good people to hold on to this matter, make a fuss, make a fuss, and tarnish the reputation of the Premier League.He also hopes that fans and the media will face up to this matter, don't listen to the message, and look at this matter with their own eyes and heart!

Although what the press officers of the English Football Association and the Premier League Disciplinary Committee said may not be true, not many people think that everything they said is true.However, after their press conference was held, the fans became a lot more rational about this matter, and they also saw that some good people were hyping and fooling around here.However, this matter is not over. Everyone is paying attention to the final handling of the matter by the English Football Association and the Premier League Disciplinary Committee.

When the press conference was held, the press officers of the English Football Association and the Premier League Discipline Inspection Committee received the attention of the reporters and asked some very sharp questions, which caused headaches for these high-level journalists.At this time, they realized the seriousness of this matter.At this time, they read out their preliminary findings at a press conference.They think that the referee should have no problem with this matter. They have repeatedly studied the slow motion and found that the referee's penalty is very correct. Before Drogba scored a goal, he had already fouled. He stretched out his hands and pushed down the Belgian Kompany beside him.

It can be seen from this that the English Football Association and the Premier League Discipline Inspection Committee are on the side of the referee. They believe that the cause of the incident is that the Chelsea players were too irrational when facing the penalty and made some aggressive behaviors.Although this is only a preliminary investigation result, everyone at the scene understands that Chelsea will have to pay for this incident. Although the English Football Association and the Premier League Disciplinary Committee said they will continue to investigate, everyone still thinks so.

Seeing things develop like this, the Chelsea team is very helpless.At this moment, they really felt like crying without tears.By this time, everyone can see that the English Football Association and the Premier League Disciplinary Committee will definitely punish the perpetrators severely, and it seems that the English Football Association and the Premier League Disciplinary Committee are on the side of the referee, and they are more inclined to the referee.In fact, at this time, even if the Chelsea team has no problems and they are on the side of reason, the English Football Association and the Premier League Disciplinary Committee will not shift the responsibility of the matter to the referee, because in this case, the reputation of the Premier League will definitely be affected.Just like the Serie A, the 2006 "Telephone Gate" incident had too much impact on the Serie A. The Premier League can't afford such a toss. Therefore, no matter whether Chelsea has reason or not, they must stand up and be punished this time.Of course, if it is true that Chelsea is justified, I think those punishments against Chelsea will be superficial, and we don't know what is going on behind the scenes!

Although, as one of the protagonists of this incident, the Manchester City team does not seem to be greatly affected.The only impact is that some people think that Manchester City paid off the referee on duty.However, very few fans think this is possible.If it is really match-fixing, they believe that the referee of this game was bought by a certain European gaming company.Therefore, as one of the protagonists of this incident, the Manchester City team has not been greatly affected.They are now preparing for the Europa League match against Omonia in the Cyprus League on the 19th.

Opponents, Manchester City's opponent in the first round of the UEFA Cup in the 2008-2009 season was the Omonica team from the Cyprus League.

Cyprus is undoubtedly a big topic in European football this year. In the Champions League and UEFA Cup qualifiers, three Cyprus teams have reached the main match, Bian Roxas entered the Champions League group stage; while Apple and Omonia broke through in the UEFA Cup.Similar to the Cyprus national team, Omonia also relied on home court advantage to step into the UEFA Cup.What needs more attention is that although Omonia is not well-known, the team's record in European games is even more prominent than Manchester City-96 European games.As their last, Manchester City's European record is only 44 games.Of course, Omonia also hopes to beat Manchester City to bring this number closer to 100.

In the first qualifying round of the UEFA Cup in the 2008-2009 season, the Omonia team defeated the Milan Manovo team in the Macedonian League at home and away to advance to the next round. In the second round of the qualifying round, the Omonia team met the Athens AEK team from the Greek League.This opponent, Xu Zhou is very aware of their strength. When he was still in Real Zaragoza last season, Xu Zhou played against them in the UEFA Cup, so he is very clear.In the second round of the qualifying round, Omonia won a small away game against their opponents. After returning home, they withstood the Athens AEK team. The two teams drew with their opponents and then advanced.Therefore, this team must not be underestimated, although everyone is not familiar with him.But he is familiar with the Manchester City team. After all, the Premier League is too famous, and Manchester City's popularity is not small, especially this season.

However, in the qualifying round, Manchester City was not as easy as Omonia.At the last moment of the qualifying round, the Manchester City team escaped from death and eliminated Midi Rand. After that, Manchester City experienced a wonderful "roller coaster journey".Thaksin changed hands of the club to the Abu Dhabi consortium, Robinho fell from the sky, and Manchester City instantly became the focus of football attention!But in fact, Manchester City has no absolute strength to be able to establish another "mountain" in the Premier League, and Mark Hughes' team is still working hard to go further in the UEFA Cup.The so-called UEFA Cup main game is actually a long way from the real UEFA Cup "main game".After breaking through Omonia, the dark horse of Cyprus, Manchester City was only able to advance to the peripheral group stage of the UEFA Cup.

In fact, advancing to the top 32 can be regarded as the real UEFA Cup race.The UEFA Cup starts with a qualifying round, then the second qualifying round, followed by the first round of the UEFA Cup. These three stages are all home and away knockout matches.Then after the first round is over, there will be a peripheral group stage, that is, the group stage of the UEFA Cup. In the group stage of the UEFA Cup, a group consists of five teams, and the five teams fight against each other in a single round-robin competition.After the group stage, this is considered to enter the main match, advance to the top 32 knockout rounds, and then the top 16, top 8, semi-finals, and finals.To enter the top 32, there will be a home and away knockout match!

The first round match between Manchester City and Cyprus giant Omonia was originally scheduled to be Manchester City's first home game against the Cyprus team on September 9. The second round of the contest between the two sides will be held on October 18 at Omonica's home stadium GSP.But just as the Manchester City team was preparing for the game, they received news of a temporary change in the order of host and guest.

Because Omonia and Apple share a home court, and Apple will have a game at the GSP Stadium on the night of October 10st, the order of matches between Manchester City and Omonia had to be changed, reversed from the original draw order.The club official also confirmed for a while that Manchester City's opponent in the next stage of the UEFA Cup, the match against Omonia will be played in the away stage first.

Therefore, Manchester City had to pack up immediately and head to Cyprus.Temporary preparations have cast a shadow over Manchester City's promotion path (explain, in fact, this was notified long ago in reality, and Manchester City did not prepare in such a hurry. I adjusted it here, ha ha!) On September 2008, 9, Manchester City had just completed the Chelsea game.

On the evening of September 2008, 9, the Manchester City team boarded the plane to Cyprus, so there is not much time for the Manchester City team to adjust to Cyprus.And there is not much time to adapt to the opponent's climate and venue, so this game is a lot more difficult for Manchester City.The whole Manchester City team has dark faces on their faces. After all, being so busy has a certain impact on their bodies.

However, the UEFA Cup Organizing Committee also took into account the situation of Manchester City. Therefore, after the game was postponed by one day to September 2008, 9, Manchester City had a rare day to adjust and adapt.Only then did the team's head coach, Mark Hughes, breathe a sigh of relief. If the team were to play the game on September 19, he would really have no confidence in the game! !
