Chapter 38 Punishment
Chapter 38 Punishment
In the last round of the group stage of the European Cup qualifiers, such a big thing happened, and everyone was caught off guard. The players of the two teams threw their fists at each other on the field, and the fight was of a bad nature. Never happened.
The most unacceptable thing is that in this stadium brawl, one side is the runner-up of the World Cup in Germany, and the other is the traditional European powerhouse. In the entire football world, there are many fans of the two teams. If this matter is not handled well , then it will be a big trouble.
Portugal was eliminated by Belgium and has already lost the qualification to advance to the European Cup. Their current attitude is to die and to pull a back.
Everyone knows that Belgium is Degan's team alone. Although Degan was a victim of the stadium violence, as the captain of the Belgian national team, he failed to control his emotions on the field and also participated in the beating. Fighting, as long as he is suspended for a long time, even if Belgium goes to the European Cup, what can he do.
Now all eyes are on UEFA to see what kind of punishment they will make for this violence.
Before the result came out, some people couldn't help jumping out and begging for mercy, but what surprised people was that the first one to stand up was Suo Pepe who acted as the fuse of this incident.
This guy was severely beaten by Digan, his nose and brow bones were broken, and several ribs were broken. Seeing him lying in the hospital while being interviewed, even a hard-hearted person can't help but cry. sad.
"I know I did something stupid on the field, I didn't know what I was thinking at the time, I apologize to the fans for my actions, I apologize to my teammates, but I will not apologize to one person, That person is Digan. He insulted me first. He called me a bastard monkey, which caused me to lose control of my emotions. I don't understand why everyone put the blame on me. If I am wrong, then first of all Digan Gan made a bigger mistake, if he hadn't insulted me, I don't think I would have done such a thing!"
The villain should sue first!
Typical villains sue first!
Digan held a press conference in Brussels on the same day after learning about Pepe's remarks. Although he disdained to engage in these verbal disputes, but now that people are putting shit on his head, he will not do it if he is bored Wouldn't it be too cheap for Pepe?
"The cause of the incident, I think you all know very well, the TV footage can testify, I was competing for a header at the time, and when I fell, that bastard Pepe viciously plotted against me, if it's just that, Nothing will happen, but what happened next, I think you all know."
At this time, a Portuguese reporter stood up: "Mr. Wright! Pepe said that the reason why he lost control of his emotions was because you said racially discriminatory words to him. May I ask if you said it!"
Digan sneered when he heard the words, and said, "I said racially discriminatory words? Mr. reporter, I want to ask you a question!"
The reporter gestured to Degan, his eyes were full of provocation. This time Portugal fell into the sand in the European Cup qualifiers, and the culprit was Degan. It can be said that Degan has now become the enemy of the entire Portugal.
Digan still had a sneer on his face, and asked, "Excuse me, which country was I from before I became a Belgian citizen!?"
The reporter was about to answer, but before he could say anything, his expression changed.
Digan continued: "As everyone knows, I now have dual citizenship of Belgium and Brazil, and I'm not 100% white, so why would I use racially discriminatory words to insult people with the same skin color as me?" ?If a white person calls a black person a 'nigger', of course he is 100% racist, then a black person calls a black person a 'nigger', which can only be understood as a joke, just kidding! And you think I have Does time say anything to him? In yesterday's game, I had no verbal communication with him at all, everything has a public opinion."
Although the Portuguese reporter was repelled by Degan, he did not intend to give up: "Mr. Wright, even if Pepe made the move first, the current situation seems to be that he was injured more seriously, don't you think Shouldn't you be apologizing?"
Of course Digan knew the sinister intentions of this Portuguese reporter. If he apologized, it would be tantamount to admitting that he was mainly responsible for the violence, but how could such a thing be difficult for Digan.
"Excuse me, if a person hits you, won't you fight back? Don't tell me no, or that you will reason with him. I am different from you. I am a bloody man. If others bully you with their fists On my head, what I will return to him will only be fists, and this is the case. Since Pepe does not intend to use football to decide the outcome with me, but turns the football field into a boxing ring, I will still accompany him! "
What Degan said that day was spread all over the world through the Internet, newspapers and TV programs, especially his last sentence "I will still accompany you", which actually attracted countless fans for him.
The aristocrats on the football field and the gentle football gentlemen are likable, but there are too many of them, and people are prone to aesthetic fatigue. Now that there is such a tough guy, people, especially those young people, of course want to chase after him.
Degan denied that he had ever said any racially discriminatory remarks, and soon a group of friends stood up to testify for him. There are also people of color in the Fiorentina team, such as Thiago Silva, Motta and others.
"Digan has always been a very good friend. He treats every friend without saying anything, and never treats him differently because of his skin color. I just want to say that he is a good person. Pepe's framing is unreasonable!"
"Deegan is a racist, this is the funniest news I have ever heard, no! He never was, because he is a person of color, why should he discriminate against his own kind!"
"Every word Pepe said was a false accusation. He is as despicable as a maggot. The facts have their own opinions. I can only tell everyone that Digan is definitely not what Pepe said."
This is the current situation. People are speaking for Degan and pleading for mercy. Although the Portuguese media are still slandering Degan's image, compared with most European media, the little water they poured is really negligible.
Now the pressure is all on UEFA. How to punish the parties involved in this incident and how to minimize the impact of this incident has become the most troublesome thing for Platini.
From the heart, Platini hopes to severely punish Degan, not only because Degan eliminated France in the World Cup in Germany, but also because of last year's Ballon d'Or, Degan actually released UEFA pigeons, This made Platini unbearable. Degan didn't come to support his first Ballon d'Or as UEFA president, which was clearly to embarrass him.
Although Platini is very clear that he has no direct contact with Degan, the reason why Degan boycotted the Golden Globes is entirely because Blatter offended Degan, but it is the same, after all, the Golden Globes Neither did Degan.
However, Platini does not dare to severely punish Belgium now. Without Portugal, England's qualifying situation is also in jeopardy. Insufficient, so what is there to see in the European Cup?
Putting personal grievances aside, what Putatini has to consider now is his first major competition after taking the UEFA presidency.
Did Deagan say anything racist?
There is no need to investigate this matter at all!
No one will insult themselves, unless that person is crazy!
So how to punish?
There are too many players involved in this violent incident, and the impact is great. Heavy punishments are not acceptable, but if the board is lifted high and lowered gently, it is not acceptable. After all, people's eyes are on it.
Another issue for Platini to consider is that if Degan is sentenced lightly, the Portuguese Football Association will not be convinced and bring the matter to the FIFA Arbitration Committee, which will be troublesome.
FIFA and UEFA have always been at odds, and the conflicts between their interests are very frequent. If FIFA uses this matter to extend its hand into UEFA, that will not work.
what to do?
Platini felt like his head was going to split.
In the end, after careful consideration, Platini still communicated with the football associations of the two countries, and announced the punishment results quickly.
The Portuguese Football Association fined 200,000 euros, Simao, Petit, and Carvalho were banned from participating in the national team for two games and fined 10,000 euros. The perpetrator Pepe was banned from participating in the national team for 10 games and fined 500,000 euros .
The Belgian Football Association fined them 200,000 euros, Goul and Van der Heiger were banned from participating in the national team for two games and fined 10,000 euros, and Digan was banned from participating in the national team for three games and fined 300,000 euros.
As soon as the result of the penalty came out, there was an uproar. Pepe was to blame for it. People even thought that treating a court thug like him should be suspended for life. What surprised people was that the penalty for Degan was only three games.
You must know that although Degan is the victim, the video of him beating Pepe on the field has been spread all over the Internet. It can be said that the degree of injury is basically nothing to Digan, but Pepe needs to be at least on the ice rink. In two months of recuperation, Digan's suspensions were only one-third of Pepe's.
In other words, Degan can still participate in the European Cup, of course, the premise is that Belgium can successfully qualify for the group.
What is even more surprising is that the Portuguese Football Association subsequently announced that it had accepted the penalty, and then it died down.
On the contrary, Real Madrid was very dissatisfied. They had just found an excellent central defender, and they were beaten to a hospital bed by Digan, and they could not play for the team for at least two months.
Real Madrid coach Schuster was furious after learning the result of the punishment: "My player was beaten for two or three months, but the murderer didn't need to come back at any price. What kind of shit is this? UEFA It's unconvincing to be so partial, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but what I'm trying to say is that none of this is normal, Deegan's punishment is too light, it's going to be a shame His pampering!"
Scolari, who has just stepped down as the head coach of the Portuguese national team, also stood up to speak: "All this is disappointing. Pepe joined the Portuguese nationality under my persuasion in order to realize his dream of competing in the competition, but When it happened, the Portuguese Football Federation, which was supposed to stand behind Pepe, chose to remain silent, which is sad."
Pepe himself also said: "I can't understand, I was hurt more, but I was severely punished, and Degan can get away with it, it's unbelievable!"
But after saying this, Pepe updated a message on his personal Twitter: I decided to accept the punishment and apologize to the people who were hurt by me. Everything is over, and I hope this matter can calm down.
Pepe surrendered?
Why?
The reason is very simple. The Portuguese Football Association has contributed to this. As for why the Portuguese Football Association bowed its head, after all, football is just a sport, and it has not risen to the level of national affairs at all. As for the reasons, let's summarize three more First, the economic situation in Europe is very bad, second, the Portuguese government is very poor, and third, the Belgian government is quite rich.
The efficiency of Europeans is always very fast. When something happens, behind the scenes, or to be more precise, it should be the communication from above. Portugal needs to restore the country's economy, and the Belgians hope to be able to play in football. The above is elated.
The only person who is unhappy now is only one person left, Cristiano Ronaldo!
It was the first time that he had the opportunity to lead Portugal to an international competition as the captain, but he missed the shot after a close kick. One can imagine how upset he was.
The most unbearable thing for Ronaldo is that this time he lost to Digan again: "I don't want to say more about the violence, what is the truth, people will know one day, all I want to say is one sentence, there is no Portugal The European Cup is not perfect!"
Hearing what Ronaldo said, it sounded familiar.
At the end of last season's Serie A, Galliani wanted to say something similar: the Champions League without AC Milan is not perfect.
Is Ronaldo still counting on UEFA to show mercy and let Portugal also participate in the competition with a wild card?
Facts have proved that Jin Maoluo is completely whimsical. The earth will still turn without anyone. The European Cup will continue as usual without that team. There will be a lack of Portugal, and England, a traditional strong team, may also be suspended.
