Starting last night, the Premier League officially requires that the current round of the league begin, and the captains of all teams must wear uniform blue and yellow captain's armbands to show a certain position. Since last night, 14 teams in 7 Premier League matches, as well as some Premier League women's football and other competitions, all teams have been uniformly executed.
In both focus games, Liverpool captain Henderson and Chelsea captain Jorginho both enforced the rules. However, the two are suspected of "discounting", Henderson's armband is a bit like a horizontal version of the Romanian flag, and Jorginho is half-covered with the blue edge, making the whole wearing effect look uncomfortable. However, they are not really "ruthless people", because of the 14 captains who have worn special style captain armbands, only one person seems to be "playing" the FA, and he makes this captain's armband wear useless.
This scene took place in the match between Leeds United and Leicester City, and Leeds United Captain Erin seemed to be enforcing the new rules, but careful friends found that there was something wrong. That's right, the armband that Erin wears is really different from the other Premier League captains. In the context of the widespread use of color strip flags in Europe, the color order is simply another way of saying that whether it is Poland, the Netherlands, or any country, replacing the color order sometimes becomes a representative of another country or not knowing where it came from.
The captain of Leicester City, Schmeichel Jr., wore a captain's armband differently from Erin. However, there was no oversight official or referee to object to this, and it should be that they did not notice this detail. But if you pursue it after the game, I am afraid that Erin also has his own explanation, because from his point of view to his left arm, the color order is not different. At present, no media has pointed out the problem in this detail, whether Erin deliberately did it or did not notice it is no longer important, what matters is that his captain's armband is useless, intentionally or unintentionally punching the FA in the face.
In addition, in the match between Brighton and Newcastle United, Brighton captain Dunk made the captain's armband wear a stealth effect. Due to the color of the Brighton jersey and the design style of the short cuff blue stripe, this armband has a "stealth" effect. At present, the Premier League regulations coupled with the temporary change in the color of the Bundesliga logo have caused great controversy, resulting in domestic broadcasters to suspend live broadcasting. In addition, many Premier League matches also used the large-screen slogan "football stands together" to express concerns about Ukraine before the match. At present, such an approach has caused controversy in European football circles, such as Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and others who have questioned such an approach.
Of course, this rule is not officially mandatory in Championship matches, such as the competition of the leader Fulham, who still wears the ordinary captain's armband. Next, the highlight of this round of the Manchester Derby, we will continue to observe the follow-up to the "Captain's Armband" incident.
