“Earlier today, the hero was interviewed by reporters at Melwood, and he showed no remorse or guilt during the interview. He refused to apologize to Paul Gruel and insisted that Paul Gruel insulted his son with the most vicious words, so he deserved to be kicked... As for what Paul Gruel specifically said, the hero refused to disclose..."

"Paul Gruel woke up at about 8:30 this morning. He denied all of Chen Yingxiong's accusations, saying that he only rushed in and cursed Chen Yingxiong a few times because of his consistent hostility towards Manchester City... But he firmly denied insulting Chen Yingxiong's son... He also said that he would appeal against Chen Yingxiong's defamation..."

"Liverpool Football Club has once again expressed its support for Chen Yingxiong, saying that if the FA wants to ban Chen Yingxiong, they will collect all the evidence to appeal for Chen Yingxiong."

"...Manchester City Football Club expressed the strongest protest against Chen Yingxiong's remarks during the interview with reporters..."

"...I suggest giving Chen Yingxiong a new nickname 'Murderer'. Consecutive championships have made him swell to an unprecedented level. We have created a collection of troubles caused by Chen Yingxiong's career as a special program for this issue. In this special program, everyone can see the troubles he has caused, and we will also analyze from his own personality and environment why he is always in trouble..."

"This week's cover figure of the World News Weekly is Chen Yingxiong. His kicking of rival fans has quickly spread around the world, causing an uproar in public opinion. Now there is the latest development - he refuses to apologize for this matter, and he even claims that he didn't hit hard enough!"

"Chen Yingxiong, a legend on the football field, and a... villain off the football field! What makes him have such a complex personality? Maybe it comes from the shadows of his childhood, maybe it comes from the frustration of being kicked out by the Chinese club..."

…

Chen Yingxiong's kicking of fans has caused him big trouble, but it has become a carnival feast for the media.

Many experts, celebrities, famous reporters, and well-known commentators have come forward to express their views pretentiously. As if they know Chen Yingxiong very well.

But not everyone is criticizing him, there are still people who support him, such as Zhong Dajun, a media person who knows Chen Yingxiong best, is speaking out for Chen Yingxiong.

He believes that Chen Yingxiong is definitely not the kind of "butcher" who beats someone for no reason. His reaction was so intense, indicating that the Manchester City fan did even worse. So why doesn't anyone condemn the Manchester City fan, but instead criticize Chen Yingxiong? This is probably more due to the Westerners' inherent contempt and prejudice against Chinese people.

It's just that his voice is too insignificant in the tide of world public opinion, and he is completely drowned before he can even stir up a wave.

Time continues to heat up and ferment.

The Football Association has already made the final punishment decision with lightning speed.

They decided to impose a heavy penalty on Chen Yingxiong of a fine of 100,000 pounds, plus a two-year ban!

Fines are trivial matters. With Chen Yingxiong's current worth, 100,000 pounds is not even more than his salary for a week.

The most fatal thing is the ban.

Banned for two years!

For a person who will be forty years old in two months, he will be forty-two years old in two years. He should have retired at this age. And his contract with Liverpool expires in one year, even if his ban expires, it is estimated that no team will accept him.

Therefore, the FA's decision is simply to force Chen Yingxiong to retire directly!

At this moment, their real purpose is finally revealed.

※※※

"...The Football Association threw a blockbuster bomb yesterday. They announced that Liverpool player Chen Yingxiong, who kicked Manchester City fans in the game, has been banned for two years... The FA's reason is that Chen Yingxiong's behavior was extremely bad, the impact was extremely bad, and his attitude afterwards was not correct, and he showed no remorse. Therefore, it was decided to impose a two-year ban... In this regard, Liverpool Football Club has decided to appeal!"

The picture switched to a scene of Liverpool general manager Niang standing in the center of a large group of reporters, giving an indignant speech.

"A two-year ban? Our Liverpool Football Club expresses its deep regret and anger! In this regard, we have decided to appeal! This is murdering the life of a great professional player! Your media always put the hat of 'Murderer' on Chen Yingxiong, but in my opinion, the FA is more worthy of this nickname!"

As the general manager of the club, Niang's remarks are already severe enough. He is directly fighting against the Football Association.

"In addition, in order to express our support for Chen Yingxiong, the club has decided to renew the contract with Yingxiong for another two years on the basis of the current contract! Until 2031!"

As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar in public opinion.

Chen Yingxiong's contract was originally due to expire in 2029, that is to say, after the end of the 2028-2029 season, Chen Yingxiong's contract would end. Now the club has renewed his contract for another two years, if he really fulfills the contract, Chen Yingxiong will be forty-three years old when he finishes it.

With Chen Yingxiong's current physical condition, it is hard to say whether he can maintain this state at the age of forty-three.

Liverpool's decision has made many people believe that it is not that Liverpool Football Club believes that Chen Yingxiong at the age of forty-three can still play a big role on the court, it is purely an act to express support and comfort to Chen Yingxiong at this special moment.

If it is really a two-year ban, Chen Yingxiong might as well retire. Even if he survives the ban period, he is already forty-two years old. Although the club will renew his contract for two years, who knows whether he will still be able to get a chance to play at that time?

For Chen Yingxiong, such a proud person, it is also doubtful whether he is willing to accept the fate of being a substitute.

No matter how you look at it, Chen Yingxiong had better retire.

※※※

Liverpool Football Club did file an appeal with the FA.

It stands to reason that during the appeal period, the players involved are also qualified to continue to participate in the competition until the official punishment decision is made.

However, as a serious offender, Chen Yingxiong will naturally be extra jealous of the Football Association. They made a special instruction for Chen Yingxiong, that is, regardless of whether Liverpool appeals or not, the ban on Chen Yingxiong should be enforced immediately.

Even if the two-year ban has not been confirmed, there is no doubt that the red card ban will be imposed.

As for Liverpool's appeal, the always bureaucratic English Football Association was swift and decisive this time.

After only one day of deliberation, they decided to reject Liverpool Football Club's appeal and uphold the original judgment.

They are determined to let Chen Yingxiong retire - they simply don't believe that Chen Yingxiong can maintain a sufficient state at the age of forty-three, they believe that Chen Yingxiong will definitely choose to retire. Because such a proud person will never accept the fate of being a substitute.

Liverpool Football Club once again expressed its regret and protest against this decision.

However, they can only say so, and some things they are not convenient to say.

Someone can say it.

Just after the FA made this decision to uphold the original judgment, Chen Yingxiong's agent Dekula appeared in front of many reporters.

As Chen Yingxiong's spokesperson, with Chen Yingxiong's success, Dekula also has a very high reputation among the media. Because he is a very special agent. Other agents have more than one player under their command, but Dekula only serves Chen Yingxiong alone.

Over the years, he has only been Chen Yingxiong's agent, which has indeed surprised many people.

Dekula specially held a press conference to announce his attitude towards the FA's decision.

Dekula, who has always been gentle and elegant in front of people, and never shows his emotions, was particularly angry this time. He tapped the table and expressed his dissatisfaction loudly.

"I am very disappointed! I am very angry! The English Football Association, which has always prided itself on being fair and just, has made such a shameless ruling!"

His first sentence was more forceful than Liverpool Football Club's official statement, and his wording was even more exaggerated.

"My player is a true gentleman. Although he has been treated unfairly by the English Football Association for so many years, he has never complained. I don't want to remind the Football Association of the fact that they have been checking Yingxiong's urine samples after every game for twelve consecutive seasons, and I don't want to list for you the data that Yingxiong is the most violated player every season, but the player who violates the player gets the least cards. Anyone with eyes can see what's going on. Yingxiong has always focused on football games and has not fought this kind of war of words with the English Football Association. But this has given the Football Association a wrong message, making them think that they can unscrupulously target my players! The decision to ban him for two years is the most shameless decision in the history of English football and even world football, and it is also the darkest day!"

"This decision has made everyone see the true face of the English Football Association. They are making such a big fuss about this matter for only one reason, and that is that they hope Yingxiong will retire as soon as possible! Because they are tired of Liverpool and Yingxiong monopolizing the championship! But in football, the strong are respected, and only those with strength have the right to speak. Liverpool's fourteen league titles were not stolen or robbed, and they did not use any conspiracies, tricks, or despicable means, nor did they get the secret support of the FA and the referees. They were all won by their own strength and hard work. What qualifications do you have to be jealous? You should look for the reasons in yourselves - a team of strong soldiers and horses can't even deal with a thirty-nine-year-old old guy. This is not Yingxiong's original sin, this is the shame of all of you!"

"Because of the English Football Association's many infamous previous offenses, we have no trust in this organization that has been focusing on smearing Yingxiong for twelve years. We don't believe that their decision is fair and just, so we don't accept this punishment decision. Since the English Football Association does not accept our appeal, then we will sue the International Court of Arbitration for Sport!"
