No. 489: A massive global ban!
The final punishment sparked heated discussions in the British media, which is after all the most eye-catching thing in the Premier League in recent times.
The Times believes that the FA has made a compromise after weighing many parties, Rooney and Peter have been suspended for three games and can make their debut this weekend, and the FA has left Wang Rui with three important games, leaving a glimmer of hope for him and Wolves.
Wang Rui was banned for seven games, and the loss of the Wolves team is not heavy!
The Daily Mail felt that the FA's punishment was appropriate, and the seven-game suspension was enough to let Wang know how bad his actions were, not to mention that he had realized his mistake and publicly published his apology letter in the media.
We can't beat people to death with a stick, the king is still young, and the meaning of punishment is to educate himself and warn other players. We don't punish for the sake of punishing.
The Guardian felt that the punishment for Wang Rui was too light, and they compared it to Eric Cantona, who was suspended for a full eight months and Wang Rui for less than two months, and the FA was biased in favour of the heart of Wolves' midfield.
This view was supported by the French press, with the Journal de France asking: FA, when you make the penalty, you dare to guarantee that you did not take into account the issue of nationality?
French Life said: This is nationality discrimination, the French will be banned for eight months, while the English will only be suspended for seven games. You must know that Cantona almost retired because of punishment that year!
The French Life Observer believes that the FA's punishment of Wang Rui is too light, and calls on FIFA to impose additional penalties and ban them worldwide.
As soon as this view came out, it was supported by many French media and some European media.
Milan Sport said: "We support FIFA's global ban on Wang! ”
"The nature of the king is too bad, and this kind of behavior is not just against English football, but against the whole world of football. And it's not the first time he's made this kind of mistake, he was suspended for two fights in the League Cup last season, so he has to be banned worldwide! ”
For a time, the European media was aggressive. Wang Rui has almost become synonymous with football scum.
In the face of the menacing calls of the rest of Europe, the British media fought back, and the Times refuted the French media's remarks: when Wang clashed with Shakhtar in the UEFA Cup last season, the French media sided with Wang, supporting the heart of Wolves' midfield in the media.
Time has passed, and their attitude has changed 180 degrees, and the main reason for this is the World Cup.
In terms of the heinous nature of the incident, the nature of Cantona's kicking of the fans was much worse than that of Wang, who clashed with the players. There is no comparison between the two.
How many player brawls are played out on the pitch every year around the globe? Has FIFA imposed a global ban?
If FIFA is not even concerned with these little things, they should all resign!
The Daily Mail is more direct: the reason why the media in these countries are so agitated and so "indignant" is because they are aware of the strength of the England team and use this incident to make a big fuss about it, hoping that the strength of the England team will decline.
His heart can be punished!
……
Wolves fans were worried, and England fans realised that the FA's final punishment was related to the World Cup. In the face of the aggressiveness of the media in other European countries, the momentum is menacing. They reacted with their own.
On April 3, the 33rd round of the English Premier League began, and banners of support for Wang Rui appeared in many stadiums.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Reebok Stadium will be played with Arsenal and Wolves. Wolves are suspended at home. The home stadium can only be moved to Reebok Stadium, and the Arsenal female fans unfurl banners like this: King, you have to be strong, we will always support you!
The banner for Wolves fans reads: King. You will always be the king of our hearts!
Wang Rui, who stayed at home and sat in the living room to watch the game, was moved after seeing these banners. He opened his notebook. In his blog, he wrote: "If I am lucky enough to participate in the World Cup in South Africa, I will definitely not let you down. There's not much I can give back to you, that's the only thing I can do! ”
In this game, Peter returned from suspension and Kentin returned from injury, and the strength of the Wolves team has been greatly improved. Arsenal have hidden most of their main players for the upcoming Champions League quarter-final leg.
After 90 minutes of fierce competition, with Bale grabbing a point in front of goal in the 77th minute, the Wolves won 1-0.
Wolves finally won after two defeats and a draw, much to the delight of the Wolves fans who came to cheer. With the victory in this game, Wolves tied Manchester United in points and temporarily topped the table with goal difference!
Only then did people find out that Wolves were not tied up, and they still had a chance to compete for the Premier League title. The Guardian and Manchester City's media were very unhappy with Arsene Wenger's behaviour: "Arsenal are giving away big gifts, where is your inherent pride and dignity?
At eight o'clock that night, the Anfield fans unfurled a banner that read: "Hold on, King, we will see you at the World Cup!" ”
"King, we believe in your promise!"
The highlight of this round is Manchester United's home game against Chelsea, which is not only a big match, but also a battle for the top spot, with only one point separating the two teams.
At 8pm on April 4, the Blues fans who were travelling away took the opportunity to strike Wayne Rooney and unfurled a banner at the Theatre of Dreams: "Wayne Rooney, you are a disgrace to English football!"
Wayne Rooney, you are the sinner of English football!
As soon as the game began, whenever Wayne Rooney touched the football, the Blues fans from afar booed loudly, much to the fury of the returning Manchester United leader.
An angry Rooney missed two chances to open the scoring and after 60 minutes of inaction on the pitch, Alex Ferguson had to substitute him early.
In the 27th minute of the first half, Joe Cole broke the deadlock for the Blues with a goalmouth shot and in the 21st minute of the second half, substitute Didier Drogba doubled the score. Macheda, who came on as a substitute for Wayne Rooney, pulled a goal back in the thirtieth minute of the second half, but it was still unable to help the Reds salvage the defeat.
Chelsea won the battle for the top spot, two points clear of Manchester United and at the top of the table!
In four rounds, the top position has changed hands twice, and the competition for the Premier League title is white-hot!
At the end of the game, the top three teams in the Premier League have changed, with Chelsea moving up from second to first, Wolves rising from third to second, and top-of-the-table Manchester United dropping to third.
The ownership of the Premier League title is confusing, and the competition will be more intense!
……
The media in many European countries put pressure on FIFA, hoping that FIFA would impose a global ban on Wang Rui, and FIFA had to respond.
In an interview with Swiss media on April 6, FIFA President Sepp Blatter said: "We have noticed that in recent days there has been talk in some national media that they are demanding a global ban on the king. We believe that the incident took place in the Premier League, not a FIFA match, and that the FA has already imposed a penalty and FIFA should not intervene. ”
Blatter made his attitude clear, Wolves breathed a sigh of relief, and England fans breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued.) )
