Chapter 228 Bar Storm 4
The next day, when English fans picked up the morning newspaper and wanted to see the reports about yesterday's round of events, they were surprised to find that there were very few reports on the battle between the two giants in northern England. Some newspapers even wrote the last game in a corner, and all the titles on the homepage gave an inexplicable fight.
"The Red Army and the Red Devils work together to fight against the enemy, and the six major stars are fighting against the 11th Manchester City strong man!"
This was the big title of The Guardian the next day. As soon as this title was released, it attracted the attention of countless good people. More people initially thought it was the media hype about players, but after looking at it, I realized that this was the real thing.
The Guardian article elaborated on the entire process in detail. They did a good job in preparation and interviewed some witnesses who watched the whole process on the spot. In the article, they said: "...After the battle between Manchester United and Liverpool, these players who participated in the game did not have any hatred and hostile relationships, but were good friends in private. This is commendable. The confrontation on the football field does not mean off-court activities, and their relationship looks good, and they go to the bar to have a drink together."
"...Obviously, all the six major stars are experts in this field, especially Liverpool's Don Jack Lee. This young boy not only scored twice in the game, but also knocked down seven people in a row off the court. Perhaps the coaches of the free fighting game will be very interested in him. I can't think of it for long, and the director of Hollywood blockbusters will also come to him..."
"...But, a little bit regrettable, the others are not very good. C. Ronaldo is like a good baby. According to witnesses, C. Ronaldo did not participate in the fight in the whole process because he was about to take action, and Don Jack Lee had already solved all his opponents."
"The worst thing is Gerald and Rooney. The future pillars of these two England teams have all been wearing gauze. There is no definite news about the specific injuries. However, the performance of the two people should not affect the game."
"...The other two are Manchester United's young player Fletcher and Liverpool's Czech star Barrosh. These two performed well in the fight. Barrosh brought down the two, and Fletcher was also very brave. Unfortunately, only one witness took a half-time film on his mobile phone, and the picture was not clear. Otherwise, we would have the honor to enjoy a realistic Hollywood blockbuster!"
The Guardian's report is very humorous. They elaborated on the entire process in detail, but only reported the six players in the fight, but did not express a direct view. As a Manchester newspaper, they did not offend Manchester United in such reports, and even more so, they did not offend Liverpool. It was a very flat report.
The Manchester Sports News in the same city is completely different!
"Manchester City's football hooligan!!!" This is the big title of "Manchester Sports". They did not say that there is anything wrong with star fights, but just criticized Manchester City's football hooligan all over the article--
In the article, the reporter mentioned John's 'arrogant' face through the details and analysis of the reasons for the fight, and commented: "... Perhaps, we can understand this as a friendly gathering between the players of the two teams. Three of the two teams attended the private gathering. This way of communication is commendable. But Manchester City fans despicablely destroyed all this. When they saw Manchester United players, they wanted to step forward and beat them. This behavior is simply a stain on English football."
Especially at the end of the article, Manchester City players who say jokes are all worried.
"...Mr. United fans who saw this incident today should be alert that our players are being blatantly besieged in the bar. If they succeed, then Manchester United's results this season will be even worse..."
"Since Manchester City fans do this, then Manchester City players should not want to leave the club in the future!"
The person who wrote this article was obviously an extremely radical Manchester United fan. The last sentence in the article made Manchester City players sweat. Think about it, if you walk out of the club, you will be besieged by Manchester United fans. What does that mean? After reading this article, Manchester City players feel sad.
But obviously, this kind of provocative report will definitely be punished.
Sure enough, at around 10 o'clock in the morning, Manchester Sports received a survey form on violations from the BBC, protests from the United Football Association of England and fines from the United Football Association of England.
The United Association of England Fans is a fan association spontaneously formed by English fans. The current association president automatically becomes an honorary member of the European Football Association League (UEFA). The United Association of England Fans has a higher status and is qualified to issue tickets for any sports media's reports on fans.
The English Football Team is always not qualified to present a ticket to the media.
However, the impact of this incident was too bad.
The football hooligan incident has always been the target and focus of the FA's crackdown. The FA will never be ruthless in this kind of thing, but the report of the Manchester Sports newspaper has a meaning of instigating fans, which makes the FA really unable to sit still. They can only protest and then ask the Broadcasting and Media Committee to punish the Manchester Sports newspaper.
However, Manchester Sports has achieved its goal.
For such media companies with a wide influence in England, the punishments of various associations are not painful at all. They used this report to win the attention of many new readers. What's more, this report directly shifted the senior FA's judgment of the incident from "players fighting off the field" to "football hooligans provocatively beaten, and players are forced to defend themselves."
The two are completely different.
'Players fight off the court' is obviously because the players themselves have more reasons. In this case, the FA will definitely be more serious when considering influence. In this case, it is possible for players from England, the FA and even the European Football Association League to suspend the game for half a year. In serious cases, it can even be banned for more than one year.
It is completely different to "football hooligans provocatively beat them up, and players are forced to defend themselves". This has taken away the responsibility of the player. Anyone who encounters someone else who wants to beat them will fight back. The players are also humans. They cannot watch themselves beaten without fighting back. As for the final result, it seems that the player won?
That doesn't matter, what matters is the reason.
It has to be said that the reporters who wrote this report in Manchester Sports are very smart. However, if they do not support Manchester United or Liverpool, they support the media by saying that the clubs support the media, and it is impossible for the incident to be calmed down so easily, such as London Sports, Times, etc.
These London media are observing this matter and reporting on the strength of the players in the fight. They also interviewed two witnesses, explaining the witness's praise for the beating of "Dang Jack Lee": "...He is so amazing, which reminds me of the Chinese Jack Cheng, Jack Lee and Jack Cheng. I don't know if they have any relationship. In short, he gave me a surprise. At that time, when he raised Boderick with both hands, I was shocked!"
This passage is the original words of an eyewitness.
But this passage has become a handle for these media. They have been talking about Don Jack's "beating ability" while grasping this handle, and constantly explaining that such a player with bad quality will hinder the development of the Premier League.
Unfortunately, their words were completely ignored by the FA.
Although there are all factions in the FA, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the arrival of high-level players in the world can improve the development of the Premier League and attract more attention from the Premier League. For example, a black-haired boy like Liverpool, they are not in a hurry to protect him and drive him out of England?
God, the leagues in other countries will die of laughter!
As for the strong ability to fight, what does it have to do with football games? Professional players are originally from sports, and it is really normal that they are a little stronger and stronger than ordinary people.
What's more, it's not the only one involved in this fight...
Wayne Rooney, Gerrard, how do you punish these two national team players? A one-year ban? God, that purely ruined the hope of English football. The FA officials who made this decision were afraid that they would be beaten to death by angry English fans when they walked out of the headquarters. Their lives and safety could not be guaranteed.
