Chapter 116 The FA’s decision (2)

In the past week, the dialogue between Middlesbrough and Wolverhampton could almost be described as a boxing match. In front of the media, McLaren focused on Greening's injury and tried to win sympathy, while Dave Jones started from the cause of the incident and called on fans to understand the truth.

The two sides were talking at the same time, which made the English media excited. The discussion about this incident lasted for a long time. Newspapers, magazines, news and even TV programs joined in. It seemed that this furor would not end until the final judgment came out.

This also made Greening and Wang Li famous!

Before this game, English fans focused more on those heavyweight stars, and in their minds, Wang Li was just an ordinary rising star, and his reputation was even far from Rooney. But after this game, Wang Li won the hearts of a large number of female fans with his "handsome moves". They don't care about violence. Most female fans watch football just because the men on the court are more attractive, and Wang Li's beating moves show his "manliness". Coupled with his slightly immature and handsome face, many female fans are heartbroken!

Greening, on the other hand, became even more "famous", but this kind of fame was not because of his popularity, but because he was reviled by everyone. He actively provoked violence, had a disgusting face, and ended up in the hospital. All these combined made all English fans hate this "bad boy" who already had a bad reputation even more.

…………

Regardless of the outside world's reaction, apart from accepting interviews from some reporters every day, Wang Li has been training in the club with peace of mind, while waiting for the FA's decision.

Recently, his life has been very comfortable. Apart from daily training, he calls Angela every day, occasionally chats with Rita, and chats with his teammates. He even went shopping on the holidays and bought some clothes. This was the first time since he came into this world.

Wang Li doesn't have to think about how to play the next game. No matter what, he will definitely not be able to participate. This is actually the case. Although the FA's decision has not yet come out, Dave Jones has not included him in the roster.

Just like that, a few days later, the English Football Association finally announced their punishment results: Greening was banned for one year and fined 100,000 pounds, Middlesbrough Club was fined 200,000 pounds; Alan Wang was banned for five games and fined 30,000 pounds, and Wolverhampton Club was fined 100,000 pounds.

Wolverhampton Club and Wang Li certainly had no objection to this result. In fact, this punishment was completely irrelevant to them!

On the other hand, Middlesbrough FC is very dissatisfied. A one-year ban almost means that they will have to sell Greening to clubs in other leagues in the summer transfer window. However, Greening still needs to recuperate for three months. It is conceivable how much such an injured player can be sold for. Even if his previous strength was very good, who can guarantee the situation after the injury is over?

McLaren immediately appealed to the English Football Association and expressed serious dissatisfaction with the penalty, but got no results. England has been shouting slogans to resist violence. They want to use Greening as an "example" to deter those impulsive and hot-tempered players!

As for the punishment for Wang Li, they certainly had an explanation, "In this incident, Allen Wang was just a victim. Even if he over-defended himself, it's normal for a 17-year-old to feel a little dizzy after being attacked like this."

The English Football Association will certainly not punish Wang Li severely. After Wang Li's recent performance in the Premier League, they have already regarded Wang Li as an important general in the future forward line of the England team. It is obvious that severely punishing Wang Li will not bring them any benefits, and this incident was not caused by Wang Li. Their reasons are very sufficient!

In fact, what the media didn’t know was that the day after this incident, the Swede visited the CEO of the English Football Association…

…………

In fact, the happiest person in the entire Wolverhampton team was Dave Jones!

The Premier League has reached its 31st round. Wolverhampton is now ranked tenth in the Premier League and has no worries about relegation. Dave Jones, who does not have much ambition, does not want to compete for a place in the League Cup, so he has already started preparing for next season.

And Wang Li is the obstacle for him to prepare for next season!

Perhaps, the team's performance has a lot to do with Wang Li, but for now, as long as Wang Li is on the court, the team will almost attack around him, and the players on the court will take the initiative to use Wang Li as the starting point of the attack. However, what makes Dave Jones most angry is that in order to allow Wang Li to bring more pounds to the club in the summer transfer, he has to let him start in every game!

Before, he had thought about keeping Wang Li next season and continuing to play in the Premier League under him. That would be the perfect thing. But the club couldn't keep Wang Li, and the Swede wanted to recruit him into the national team. If Wang Li participated in this year's European Cup, based on Dave Jones's understanding of Wang Li, his value would definitely increase significantly. That miser, Jose Moxey, would never say no to so many pounds!

Now, Wang Li has been suspended. Even if he wants Wang Li to play in the game, it has become impossible. He can use the Premier League field to practice his tactics with peace of mind.

…………

As the incident gradually subsided, the media reported less and less on Wang Li, and they focused their attention on the battle for the Premier League championship.

As the league entered the later stages, Manchester United, which had been leading in points for most of the season, showed signs of decline. In recent games, they lost to Arsenal, Fulham and Aston Villa in a row, which caused Manchester United's points to drop behind Arsenal.

On the other hand, Arsenal has been playing better and better since losing to Wolverhampton. Their consecutive victories have also attracted the attention of the media. Arsenal is showing a championship aura and has opened up a seven-point gap with Manchester United. Fans are even considering winning the championship a few rounds in advance!

"We have only one goal, and that is to win the championship!" Coach Wenger said confidently in response to numerous media interviews.

…………

Just when the media's attention was gradually shifting away from Wang Li, a breaking news made them pay attention to this 17-year-old young player again!
