Chapter 185

Indeed, the officials of the FA in the conference room at this moment are indeed very troubled. If the previous handling method is used, Chelsea and Chen Xiao will have to pay a huge price this time. Chen Xiao may even be suspended for many games. However, after the sports minister arrived at the FA office in person, everything changed dramatically.

In the office of Geoff Thompson, the head of the FA, the Minister of Sports of Country Y conveyed to Geoff the Prime Minister’s concern about this matter. Only at this moment did Geoff truly understand the influence of this matter. Eddyton at the end had to be given up.

After the sports minister left the FA office area, Geoff called an emergency meeting. No one knew what happened in the meeting. They only knew that the FA dealt with the whole incident very quickly, which was a precedent in history.

On the night of the second day after the incident, the spokesperson of the FA announced a press conference on the incident and informed almost all media in London at the moment.

At this press conference, all media reporters knew from the spokesperson’s narration of the whole incident that Portsmouth would eventually be completely abandoned by the FA, because the spokesperson defined the incident as racial discrimination at the end of the narration.

Afterwards, the spokesperson notified the penalties for Chelsea and Portsmouth players involved in the brawl. The notification for Chen Xiao’s punishment was as follows: “Although the incident happened for a reason, he failed to restrain his emotions in front of hundreds of millions of fans. He set a bad example for many young fans. Therefore, Chelsea’s summer player Chen Xiao was fined 30 pounds and suspended for 5 games.”

Mourinho was suspended for 3 games, Aixin was suspended for three games, and only these three were punished in Chelsea. The reason was that the FA used a very ridiculous reason, that is, the referee did not punish Chelsea players on the spot. As for why Mourinho, Aixin and Chen Xiao were fined, the reason is very simple. .

This is the penalty received by Chelsea as a whole. In the subsequent penalty notification against Portsmouth, it was not like this that was raised high and lowered gently.

Portsmouth was directly relegated to League One, Fratton Park banned fans from entering up to 30 games, and as many as 4 local fan organizations in Portsmouth were banned from entering all games under the FA.In the end, Eddyton, who was lying in the hospital at the moment, was banned for life for instigating the battle. In the end, Portsmouth was fined 200 million pounds.

As soon as the penalty notice came out, the reporters on the scene were stunned, knowing that Portsmouth would be taken out for surgery, but no one thought that the FA would be so ruthless. This is the rhythm of disbanding Portsmouth.

Finally, in the concluding remarks at the end of this press conference, the spokesperson said: "Modern football originated in country Y, and country Y is a very democratic country. We, the FA, always believe that football has no national boundaries or distinctions of skin color. All of us should say no to anti-human behaviors such as racial discrimination."

After receiving the penalty notice from the FA, Abramovich asked his assistant to go to the FA to pay all the fines immediately. Such a small amount of money was too small for Abramovich, and Abramovich felt that the money he spent was very worthwhile, and Mourinho, Chen Xiao and others immediately announced that they fully accepted the FA's punishment.

In this way, the matter quickly subsided within Chelsea, but the outside world is still having heated discussions on the follow-up of this matter. Many media reporters can see from the penalty notice that the FA is tolerant and partial to Chen Xiao, because the FA gave Chelsea a big loophole in Chen Xiao’s 5-match ban. Normally, when suspending players, just like Mourinho and Aixin, their bans are marked with a 3-match ban for the league.Only Chen Xiao's suspension was not marked, so Chelsea has a lot of room to maneuver, because Chelsea also has the FA Cup and the League Cup in England in addition to the league, and in these two cups Chen Xiao is a player reported by Chelsea, but Chen Xiao himself did not participate in these two cups in the early stages, and at most he would sit on the bench in the FA Cup.

So far, Chen Xiao has played 0 minutes in the League Cup and only 10 minutes in the FA Cup. After the game against Portsmouth, according to this algorithm, Chen Xiao only needs to suspend one league game. After truly interpreting the penalty rules, the outside media know that the FA should treat Chen Xiao as their own son.

In the final score determination of the game against Portsmouth, the FA directly used the score before the conflict as the final score of the game, so Chelsea's record in the first 7 rounds is also outstanding in the entire standings with 7 wins and 21 points.

And because Portsmouth was directly relegated, the FA directly arranged for Crystal Palace, who was relegated last season, to replace Portsmouth and become a member of the Premier League.

In this way, the whole incident was handled by the FA in a swift and messy manner. The speed and strength of the FA's handling this time have also received praise from many countries and media outside. Even some media from Serie A, the Premier League's deadly rival, praised the FA's zero-tolerance attitude towards racial discrimination in their reports.

For a while, the image of the Premier League showed a positive and healthy side all over the world. This result even surprised the FA, which they did not expect at all.

After carefully calculating his suspension, Chen Xiao decided to return to China, because during his suspension, there was a World Cup qualifier match to participate in, and this match was very important for the Xia Guo team, and the opponent was also very strong. On October 10, the Xia Guo team will welcome the Saudi team, which is currently ranked number one in this group, at their home court.
