The views of the media and fans, no matter how vigorous it is, do not have much significance for the final resolution of the incident. Because the final decision on how to deal with this [brawl] is still firmly in the hands of FIFA officials.

What’s surprising is that the ‘officials’ responded very quickly——

FIFA President Sepp Blatter issued a statement less than five hours after the game ended. The federation will hold a hearing on the [brawl incident] at 10:30 a.m. the next day, and immediately after the hearing, an announcement will be made. Punishment results for those involved!

This news exceeded many people's expectations.

If things continue to develop in this trend, it will not be beneficial to Crazy Li.

Many people have been speculating before that if FIFA chooses to protect Crazy Li and the Argentina team, it is likely to use the usual "drag" decision to postpone this [stadium brawl incident] that shocked the entire world until the end of the World Cup in South Africa. Process it later. And at that time, no matter how severe the punishment for Crazy Li is, the losses suffered by the Argentina team will be much smaller. Even if Crazy Li is suspended for one consecutive year, it will not have an impact on the Blue and White Army's World Cup!

But now, the World Football Federation has gone out of its normal way and hastily concluded the incident. The implications of this are worth pondering for many people.

Is Blatter going to suppress the Argentine team?

This again seems unlikely.

After all, the whole world knows that the Argentine Football Association Grondona is Blatter's closest ally. The two are completely tied into the same interest group, and both prosper and suffer. If the two turned against each other because of this, the sensational and shocking effect on world football would definitely be much more serious than the current fight!

The development of things is beyond some people's imagination.

…

After FIFA announced its handling of the brawl, media and fans around the world began a new round of discussion, and the central issue of this discussion was only one - whether Crazy Li will still play in the next game. Is there any chance that you can appear on the sidelines of the World Cup in South Africa and direct the game?

"Bild", Germany's largest circulation newspaper, is not optimistic about Madman Li's future fate.

They wrote in a special article on the front page of the next day: "We all know that before the World Cup officially started, FIFA and the South African World Cup Organizing Committee put forward the slogan of zero tolerance for violence on the stadium. We believe that, This should definitely not be a false declaration. On the playing field, everyone should be treated fairly, whether he is a player or a head coach. The existence of the privileged class is an unreasonable phenomenon. No matter why Madman Li punched , that is an act of violence, we need a healthy football environment, from this aspect, FIFA has no reason to 'forgive' Madman Li."

In order to make its point of view persuasive, "Bild" accompanied the article with five or six carefully selected pictures, all of which were screenshots of the fight. In the picture, Madman Li, with a ferocious face, punched the Mexican coach. Carralgado's face was so beaten that he was deformed.

In fact, the attitude of the Germans was not at all contrary to what the outside world had expected.

Because according to the South Africa World Cup match list, they will meet the Argentine team in their best form in the next game. If Madman Li can escape punishment and stand on the sidelines to direct the game, then [German Chariot] wants to cross the fourth quarter The finals are much more difficult.

You must know that so far, the German team led by [tactician master] Loew has never been able to get an advantage from Crazy Li, not to mention friendly matches, just the one at the Ernst Happel Stadium in 2008. The European Cup final is enough to make the whole of Germany regard Madman Li as a serious problem!

At this time, media from many other countries also joined in.

The Times of England believes that FIFA's quick and positive response to the brawl is "a signal to maintain fairness and justice on the court. We look forward to the successful resolution of this matter... No excuse can hide the ugliness of violence."

The tone of Catalonia's "World Sports" and "Daily Sports", which have always been at odds with Madman Li, is almost the same this time - "FIFA's previous zero-tolerance principle for stadium violence must be changed." Implement it to the end..."

Only the French newspaper L'Equipe favored Argentina.

"L'Equipe" believes that "FIFA should probably take the reasons for the incident into consideration and handle the so-called brawl from a more humane perspective. No matter from which aspect, the entire incident cannot be simply regarded as 'the stadium'" Violence can be summed up in one word..."

The reason why the opinions of the media in different countries are so different is very simple——

The countries that have withdrawn from the hopeless competition for the Hercules Cup are more willing to handle this incident with a tolerant attitude, because Madman Li is no longer a threat to their team, and they are more willing to watch such a madman lead the team to play a game It is a classic game, and those countries where the team still retains the hope of winning the championship, on the contrary, they absolutely do not want to encounter an Argentine team with crazy Li. Guys run off the field, why not?

…

…

The next morning.

The weather was still clear and there was no wind at all.

At around 10 o'clock, more than 400 reporters had gathered in the square in front of the South African Football Association office building, and the entire gate was packed. FIFA's hearing on the coaching brawl during the Argentina-Mexico match will soon begin in this building.

An hour later, the suspense will be revealed here as to whether Crazy Li can continue his World Cup journey.

Many people believe that this hearing will have an unpredictable impact on the future trend of the World Cup.

Perhaps, the result of the meeting will directly change the ownership of the 2010 South Africa World Cup champion!

10:25.

A black high-end business MPV Mercedes-Benz R250 sedan drove from a distance. Under the guidance of the security guards who maintained order at the scene, the sedan drove to the door of the building. Then the door opened, and Crazy Li, wearing his iconic Tyrannosaurus sunglasses, stepped out of the carriage. …

The reporters immediately went crazy and swarmed over like a tide.

Ten minutes ago, Mexico's head coach Aguirre and one of the parties involved, Carlalgado, had already entered the building, and now the arrival of Crazy Li means that the hearing will officially begin soon.

"Crazy Mr. Li, do you think you can escape today?"

"If you are banned for a long time, will you continue to coach Argentina?"

"Can you say a few words to the fans who support you?"

"Crazy Mr. Li, do you regret your actions now?"

"..."

Li Tongfang was surrounded by the crowd, like a small barge on the roaring sea in a storm, in danger of being destroyed at any time. There was no expression on his face, his eyes were hidden under black lenses, and he remained silent in the face of crazy questions. No one knew what Madman Li was thinking...

Soon, four sturdy security guards in suits and leather shoes skillfully separated the group of reporters and escorted Li Tongfan into the hall. It was not until the man in a black windbreaker finally disappeared from sight that the crazy reporters regretted it. I just stopped taking pictures...

The next thing is to wait.

Except for a few, most people were not allowed in for interviews.

The waiting time was unusually slow. Although it was only a short hour, the reporters felt as if they had been waiting for a century.

When the hands of the clock finally pointed to 11:30 sharp, the revolving door of the building started to move again, the crowd was commotion, and the lenses of countless cameras were pointed there...

The first person to appear in sight is still Crazy Li!

At this time, Crazy Li had already taken off the Tyrannosaurus sunglasses on his face.

His expression was relaxed, and there was a vague smile on his lips. When the reporters who swarmed over saw this scene, they already understood a lot. One German reporter muttered in an annoyed voice: "Could it be that... this is really not good news."

…

…

July 3, 12:00 noon.

FIFA’s final punishment for the brawl that occurred during Argentina’s quarter-final match against Mexico on July 2 quickly appeared on FIFA’s official website and was quickly reprinted by the media around the world. In front of the fans.

This is a very severe punishment result, which shocked many people——

Crazy Li was banned from leading the team for eleven football matches and fined £100,000.

However, what makes all Argentines a little relieved is that these eleven-game suspensions are not executed consecutively - during the World Cup in South Africa, Crazy Li's suspension was only for one game, and only in the quarter-finals, Crazy Li will have to Appearing in the stands as a spectator; the remaining ten games of the ban will not officially take effect until after the world finals in South Africa.

According to the official interpretation of the final penalty by the World Football Federation, the eleven-game suspension includes two aspects-one immediate suspension due to a red card, and ten additional penalty suspensions!

FIFA specifically emphasized that the eleven-game ban includes both national team games and club games. In other words, even if Crazy Li terminates his contract with the Argentina team after the World Cup and turns to coach a club, he can only officially appear in front of the coaching bench after the ten-game suspension is over.

From this aspect, FIFA's decision can be considered very fair.

For any head coach, an eleven-game suspension is a punishment serious enough to be recorded in the history of world football. From this perspective, Madman Li, who has set countless records, used this alternative method to Created an extremely alternative world record!
