Chapter 115 The FA’s decision (1)
After Wang Li and Greening both left the field, the players on the field also lost their enthusiasm. In the remaining 45 minutes, the two teams played almost in tacit agreement. In the end, Wolverhampton defeated Middlesbrough 3:0 away from home. However, for the media, the final score was secondary. The bloody incident that occurred in the game was what they were more concerned about.
But to the disappointment of the media, both head coaches were in no mood to waste time with these reporters. McLaren had to go to the hospital to find out about Greening's injury, while Dave Jones had to go to comfort Wang Li and return to the club to deal with the impact of this incident.
The post-match press conference ended unpleasantly with the tacit agreement of the two head coaches. It seems that the reporters can only find some inspiration from the video replay.
…………
"Alan, it's okay. If it were me, I would definitely beat him harder than you did. That Greening is so abominable!"
"Yeah, don't take it to heart, it's not your fault."
"He deserves it. Look at the way he was carried away. It was so funny!"
"Alan, your moves when you hit people are really cool, you must teach me when you come back! I will try it next time, and I will definitely win the hearts of many girls by doing that!"
…
After the game, the teammates returned to the locker room and saw Wang Li sitting alone in the corner with his head down, staring blankly at his wrist. They immediately ran over to comfort him. After living in the club for a few months, Wang Li and his teammates had a very good relationship. No one wanted this incident to have any psychological impact on Wang Li.
"Oh, thank you, but it's nothing. I was just thinking about Angela. I just talked to her on the phone." Wang Li looked up and said, with a faint smile on his face, which looked very ostentatious.
Seeing Wang Li mentioned Angela, the teammates were so jealous that they cursed in unison and then went about their own business.
In fact, Wang Li really didn't think much about it. He was more than a 17-year-old boy. He knew very well that he had to pay a price for everything he did. Moreover, he had not started this matter at all. Even if the FA would severely punish him, it would not matter. Anyway, he would leave Wolverhampton in the summer transfer window, and he would not be able to win any honors in Wolverhampton this season. For him, a few suspensions would not matter. As for the fine? Wang Li had never worried about it, not to mention that the club would definitely pay for it.
Wang Li was indeed on the phone with Angela just now. Angela also watched the game. She was a little worried about Wang Li, so she called him immediately. On the phone, Wang Li comforted Angela and told her not to think too much. Angela's sweetness made Wang Li feel warm in his heart, so he stared at the watch on his hand...
Actually, what Wang Li was most concerned about was Eriksson's reaction. Ever since the last match with Manchester United, the media had been saying that Eriksson would recruit him into the England national team, but there was no accurate news until now. This year was the year of the European Cup, and Wang Li was still very interested in this event. Besides, being teammates with stars like Beckham, Gerrard, and Ferdinand was also very exciting, wasn't it?

"Riverside Stadium is experiencing huge profits, with Alan Wong becoming the absolute protagonist!!!" This was the headline of The Guardian the next morning.
In England, The Guardian is absolutely eager to create chaos. In recent years, The Sun, The Times and even The Daily Telegraph have been trying to seize its market, so The Guardian has made major changes to its style. In order to attract readers, it even gave up its neutral attitude, and this report is no exception!
"In yesterday's Premier League, 17-year-old Wolverhampton teenager Alan Wong staged a violent incident at the Riverside Stadium, which actually caused the 'tough guy' Greening to be hospitalized. According to the doctor, Greening needs to recuperate for at least three months before he can return to the field!! How dirty and bloody is this? The English Football Association must see the truth and punish this kind of violence severely!!" - Victoria Bonfit
This report in The Guardian did not mention the whole process of the incident at all, but instead made a big fuss about the result. Perhaps this was a way for The Guardian to attract readers, but perhaps it was more of a revenge by Victoria against Wang Li.
However, the Guardian's report was obviously seriously deviated from neutrality. At noon today, Wolverhampton Football Club immediately took the Guardian to court! Wang Li is the most famous player in the team. The club's top management will never allow him to be framed by the media!
It seems that Miss Victoria Bonfit will have a lot of trouble in the days to come.
But the other media in England all stood on Wang Li's side this time. This incident was originally provoked by the "bad boy" Greening himself, and in England, most fans definitely favor Wang Li. Wang Li is young, but he has performed so well in the Premier League. It is even revealed that the Swede is also very interested in him, which means that Wang Li is likely to represent England in the European Cup!
The England team always performs poorly in the European Cup and the World Cup. Their luxurious lineup built with pounds never achieves the desired results. World-class competitions are an eternal pain in the hearts of England fans!
On the other hand, Greening has been rejected by the England national team, and even the local fans in Middlesbrough don't like him. Regardless of what the whole story is, with Greening's reputation, the fans' first reaction after knowing this will be to stand on Wang Li's side!
"At the Riverside Stadium, Allen Wang was physically attacked!"
“Is this jealousy or resentment?”
"Greening strikes again, showing his evil face!"
…
Wang Li's staunch supporter, The Sun, even used a picture of Greening with a hideous face, crooked mouth and squinting eyes after being knocked down as the main picture on the sports page. It formed a sharp contrast with Wang Li's slightly immature and angry expression, and fully interpreted Greening's ugly face!
"He looks like a gangster, how can he be a football player? I believe the English Football Association will not tolerate such a player!" - George Kulentalik
…………
The English Football Association responded quickly. At noon the next day, spokesman Alex Horn held a press conference to emphasize their attitude towards the matter.
"Football is a competitive sport. Opposing violence has always been England's slogan. In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer violent incidents on the field, which is exactly what we, the fans and the clubs want to see. We will never tolerate this incident and will definitely impose severe penalties. Mr. Hoven Deliersa has organized a research team to investigate this incident. Please believe that we will make a fair judgment."
Right after the FA released its statement, Middlesbrough club immediately announced Greening's condition: 'his jawbone is severely deformed and twisted, four teeth have fallen out, and he will need at least four months of recuperation.' It seems that they want to use Greening's physical condition to gain sympathy.
However, on the Internet, the video of the incident has been widely circulated, with more than one million hits a day, and everyone who has watched the video knows very well that the "bad boy" Greening is the culprit!
