Арсеналын хамгаалагч Пьеро Инкапиэ Ливерпүүлийн ахлагчийн сошиал медиа дахь хуучин нийтлэлийг сануулсан нь олны анхаарлыг татлаа.
Премьер лигийн хүрээнд ням гарагт болсон тоглолтод Арсенал 1-0-ийн харьцаатай ялалт байгуулж, хүснэгтийг гурван онооны зөрүүтэй тэргүүлж эхэллээ. Тоглолтын хувь заяаг шийдсэн цорын ганц гоолыг эхний хагаст Кай Хаверц оруулснаар Арсенал 2014 оноос хойш анх удаа Энфилдэд ялалт байгуулсан нь энэ юм.
Ливерпүүлийн хувьд шүүгч Энди Мэдли болон VAR-ын шийдвэрүүд, ялангуяа Юрриен Тимбер Александр Исакийн өмсгөлөөс татсан үйлдлийг торгуулийн цохилт гэж үзээгүйд сэтгэл дундуур байлаа. Тоглолтын дараа Виржил ван Дейк үүнийг илт торгуулийн цохилт байсан гэж мэдэгдсэн бол Ливерпүүлийн дасгалжуулагч Андони Ираола тоглогч унах ёстой байсан уу хэмээн шүүмжилсэн юм.
Тоглолт өндөрлөсний дараа Арсеналын хамгаалагч Пьеро Инкапиэ өөрийн Инстаграм хуудсандаа “Би мартдаггүй” гэсэн тайлбартайгаар Премьер лигийн алтан тэмдгийн зургийг байршуулжээ. Энэ нь өнгөрсөн нэгдүгээр сард Ливерпүүл болон Арсеналын тоглолтын дараа Виржил ван Дейкийн ижил төстэй зураг нийтэлж байсантай холбоотой өдөөн хатгалга байж магадгүй гэж үзэж байна.

Piero Hincapie appeared to aim a subtle dig at Virgil van Dijk by posting a zoomed-in image of the Premier League badge following Sunday’s game between Liverpool and Arsenal.
Arsenal went three points clear at the top of the Premier League after a first-half strike from Kai Havertz earned Mikel Arteta‘s side their first win at Anfield since 2014.
It was a frustrating event for the home side. They were left outraged after referee Andy Madley and VAR waved away two penalty shouts, with the most controversial being Jurrien Timber’s shirt grab on Alexander Isak.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk expressed his frustration in his post-match interview. Asked about the shirt pull on Isak, Van Dijk said: “I think it was also a clear penalty. I’ve seen it back.”
He added: “There are 50 cameras, even more. Why does he have to complain if there are so many cameras? In the end it wasn’t given and we lose the game. So well done to Arsenal.”

Virgil van Dijk’s evening goes from bad to worse
After the full-time whistle, an old social media post from Van Dijk was seemingly referenced by Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie.
Hincapie, who replaced Christos Tzolis in the final stages at Anfield, posted a series of images on his Instagram page with the caption: “I don’t forget”, but one image in particular caught the eye.
The Ecuadorian defender posted a zoomed-in image of the golden Premier League badge worn on the shirt sleeves of the defending champions.
For context, Van Dijk posted a similar picture after Liverpool’s 0-0 draw at the Emirates in January.
Van Dijk’s frustration about Isak being pulled back by Timber was echoed by Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola, who made his feelings clear in his post-match press conference.
“There is a clear grab [of] the shirt,” he said.
“Alex [Isak] was just in front of him, he was going to head in front of the goal but couldn’t because he had the shirt. I don’t understand why they didn’t call it, probably because he has not gone to the floor.
“I think the Gakpo one was not a penalty but the Alex one he was going to head the ball in front of the goalkeeper.
“He grabbed the shirt. I don’t understand why it wasn’t called. You have to dive, if you don’t dive they won’t call it. That’s the problem we have with the game. Because he doesn’t dive and go to the floor.
“The fact that you are even asking me if he should go to the floor, if he goes to the floor, they call the penalty 100 percent.”
