Red Card Rampage
Terence Kongolo, a forgotten Premier League flop, has set a new red card record in Austria after a disastrous transfer.
Record-Breaking Performance
The 30-year-old defender, currently on loan at Rapid Vienna from Fulham, has managed to pick up three red cards in just seven league outings, shocking fans and breaking a 19-year-old Austrian league record.
Unexpected Turn of Events
Kongolo, who was once considered a top young defender in Europe, had a brief spell at Monaco before joining Huddersfield Town for their Premier League campaign in 2018. However, his performance failed to impress in 60 matches, leading him to end up at Fulham and eventually landing at Vienna.
Fan Reactions
Despite his struggles, fans couldn't help but react to the surprising stat, with one comparing him to Ramos and another admitting that his performance was kind of impressive.
What's Next for Kongolo?
After his red card horror show, it's likely that the Austrians will send Kongolo back to London, marking a disappointing turn of events for the once-promising defender.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Premier League winner determined?
The Premier League is won by the team who accumulates the most number of points throughout the 38 match season. For a win or a draw, teams earn three points. Losses are not worth any points. If two teams have the same amount of points at the end of the season, the winner will be determined by their goal difference. If the teams remain level, they may use a match at a neutral stadium to decide the championship. This scenario has never been seen in Premier League.
What makes up the Premier League?
The Premier League is distinguished from other European leagues by several factors, including its global appeal, financial strength, and competitive depth. The Premier League has a large international audience, and lucrative TV rights deals. Premier League matches are unpredictable, and lower-ranked teams can beat the top teams on any matchday. The unique identity of the Premier league is also a result of the intensity in the stadiums, and the fast-paced nature of play.
What happens to teams who finish bottom of the Premier League table?
At the conclusion of every Premier League season, those teams that finish at the bottom of the table in the league are relegated from the Premier League to the Championship. In their place, the top two teams from the Championship, along with the winner of the Championship playoffs, are promoted to the Premier League for the following season.
What is the role of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in the Premier League?
In the Premier League the Video Assistant Referee System (VAR) is used to help on-field referees make the right decisions in cases such as goals, penalty decisions and direct red cards. The VAR analyzes footage and gives advice to the referee. He can then view the replay on the pitchside monitor prior to making a final decision. The system aims to minimize human errors that could influence the outcome of a match.
What is Premier League?
