"If we follow the previous rules of the Premier League, there would be no problem with Ronaldo being suspended for five games. You know, Suarez just bit Chiellini in the 2014 World Cup and he was suspended for four months." BBC Forum
Above, Manchester United legend Neville, who has been kicked out of Valencia for three years, expressed his support for the Football Association.
"His behavior is absolutely undesirable. If revenge can be taken, world football will be completely in chaos."
"No, no, no, Gary, if you are slapped by someone during a game, do you still have to bow your head and tell the other person, I'm sorry? Say sorry? Only Japanese people would do that. I disagree with your point of view.
I understand. I don’t think there is anything wrong with Ronaldo’s counterattack.” Although they are club teammates, Ferdinand’s views are different from Gary Neville.
"If he were a Manchester United player, would you still say that?"
"Yes, I will." Neville nodded seriously, still insisting on his point of view.
Ferdinand's eyebrows furrowed, but he couldn't formulate any words to refute him. Is this really his Manchester United teammate who has been fighting with him for so many years?
Really?
He himself doubted it.
"Okay, Gary, I won't discuss this issue with you anymore, but I still insist on my opinion. Why don't we talk about our views on the next Premier League game?" Ferdinand didn't want to continue arguing with Neville.

Not only the BBC, but also the official website of The Times is also discussing the issue of Luo Wu's suspension. They have conducted a survey and statistics.
a, Luo Wu’s suspension for 5 games is too many.
b, Luo Wu was suspended for five games less.
As a result of the survey of 160,000 people, 78% chose a, but 22% believed that Luo Wu had fewer suspensions. Public opinion showed that Luo Wu received a lot of support.
But this is just the opinion of fans, and may not be the same as that of club legends.
At this time, it was also time for the Arsenal star to step forward.
Dutch ice prince Bergkamp was the first to express his opinion on Instagram: "This is simply a crime."
"The FA never wanted Arsenal to win the championship. They always wanted to kill us. Yes, they always did. Just like what we encountered in the Champions League, but UEFA targeted the entire England.
, you know, from 2006 to now, only Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool have entered the finals, but I really can’t understand why Arsenal has suffered such injustice in the country? Didn’t you see the racial discrimination?
De strangled Luo's neck, should Luo kneel down and suffocate to death instead of fighting back? God, where is the fairness?"
Bergkamp had already said it, so Ljungberg naturally had to speak: "I agree with Daniel. This is really unfair at all. It's like someone stabbing you in the chest with a knife, and you fight back and kill the opponent."
, in the end you went to jail, where is the justice? Why not impose heavy fines on Cardiff City Club, and heavy fines on players like Reid who have no professional ethics?"
Pires: "I'm used to it. Whenever Arsenal can achieve good results, the Football Association will always make Arsenal lose an important player. I really hope that this kind of thing will not happen again. Fortunately, the professor has retired, otherwise
We have to prepare an ambulance for him on the sidelines of the stadium."
Gunslinger Henry: "Such a penalty made by the Football Association will cause the Premier League to lose its best player, because there is no fairness at all. In the face of racial discrimination, we can fight back in any way. In the face of threats to our lives, we
You can also fight back in any way, there is no problem. I feel very sad now..."
Basically, the most powerful Arsenal stars have stood up to support Luo Wu.
Only Vieira expressed a different opinion.
"Was it the fans' fault when Cantona kicked the fans? But Cantona was also severely punished. I think it's the same thing. Cantona was punished, and Ronaldo deserved the same. FA
There is no problem with the punishment.”
"We must reject violence!"
Vieira is a famous player at Manchester City, but he is also a famous player at Arsenal. The fact that he is on the other side is really unexpected and disappointing.
Isn't this the legendary rebel? I don't understand why Vieira would be on the other side...
Another Manchester City star Dickov was even more direct: "The penalty is too low. He should be suspended for at least one year! I have never seen such violence!"
Chelsea star Joe Cole: "We can be passionate, but we can't be rough. Although I am opposed to racial discrimination, Luo's behavior is indeed undesirable. I also think the punishment is too light."
"I think he should be suspended for at least ten games!"
It's really cruel.
Holding a similar opinion is Liverpool legend Carragher. Carragher also cited what happened to Suarez that year: "Just look at how many games Suarez was suspended that year. I think Ronaldo should be punished even more!"
"You can't make a bigger mistake just because the other person is wrong. It's not fair."
Maybe, for the sake of winning the championship of his club, he can even give up his face, or maybe, these guys have been brainwashed by the Social Democratic Party?
But to be honest, Luo Wu's incident this time can indeed reach a historical level.
In world football, there will inevitably be some violent incidents. Some players cannot hide their disappointment and anger and lose their rationality, so they resort to violence against their opponents.
The famous bad boy Barton of the Premier League, Pepe of La Liga, Gattuso of Serie A, etc. are all hot players. They have all made dangerous and threatening attacks on the field and were expelled by the referee. At the same time, they were chased by the Football Association.
Penalty and suspension.
In addition, in addition to violent acts, for the sake of harmony, fairness, and civilization in football and to severely crack down on doping incidents, there have been cases of bans in football for some reasons, such as doping, racial discrimination, illegal betting, etc.
.
The longest suspensions in history are actually quite famous.
Former Manchester United midfielder Keane is one of them. He was suspended for eight games for a violent and flagrant foul.
In April 2001, during the Manchester Derby in the Premier League, Keane, the captain of Manchester United, deliberately kicked and injured Manchester City midfielder Haaland during an interception. At that time, Keane also received a red card and was banned by the Football Association.
He was fined 5,000 pounds and suspended for three games. In the end, Keane's "finishing" kick really seriously injured the old Haaland, and he could not recover for a long time. Finally, he had no choice but to retire at the age of 29. Later, in Keane's autobiography
, he admitted that it was a retaliatory move because as early as four years ago when Haaland was still playing for Leeds United, he kicked Keane, causing the anterior cruciate ligament of his knee to rupture, and he had to recuperate for several months. After releasing his autobiography
Later, the Football Association of England finally suspended Keane for another five games and fined him 150,000 pounds.
Keane is so mean, trouble comes from his mouth. If he didn't say this in his autobiography, he wouldn't have been added to the five games.
However, Keane's suspension is not the longest, and former Southampton player Pruton's suspension is longer.
Pruton, an English player who played for Southampton in the Premier League, was dissatisfied with the referee's decision to show him a red card during a match against Arsenal in 2005, so he took the initiative to argue with the line referee.
However, this theory was intercepted by the referee. In anger, Pruton pushed the referee fiercely, causing the opponent to lose his balance and fall. The English Football Association subsequently punished Pruton with a ten-game ban. It is worth mentioning.
What I want to mention is that during Pruton's Premier League career, he received a total of 10 red cards.
Italian Di Canio's suspension is even more impressive.
Similar to Pruton, Di Canio got into an argument with Keown during Sheffield Wednesday's match against Arsenal in 1998 and poked the opponent's eye with his finger and was sent off. The angry Italian was sent off at the time.
Before leaving the field, he pushed the referee to the ground. The Football Association of England later sentenced Keown to a three-game ban for injuring him with a small move on his hand, and an additional eight-game ban for pushing the referee, for a total of 11 games, plus an additional 10,000
Pound fine.
Of course, the most famous one should be Uruguayan Suarez. Suarez experienced a total of three long-term suspensions while playing for Liverpool.
In 2011, when Uruguayan forward Suarez was playing for Liverpool against Manchester United, he was intercepted by opponent defender Evra and then made rude remarks and insulted the opponent with the word "black". As a result, he was banned by the English Football Association for 8 games. Later in 2013, he was banned from playing against Manchester United.
During the match against Chelsea, Suarez was blocked by Chelsea defender Ivanovic in the penalty area and failed to get the ball. Suarez opened his mouth and bit Ivanovic in anger, leaving a deep tooth on the opponent's arm.
In response, the English Football Association suspended Suarez for 10 games.
Suarez continued to make the same mistakes after that.
In 2014, Suarez remained stubborn and his "venomous snake" nature that liked to bite reappeared. In the 2014 World Cup, during Uruguay's match against Italy, Suarez was intercepted in the opponent's penalty area and was "punished" in the same way.
"Chiellini almost bit off Chiellini's arm. The World Football Federation finally sentenced Suarez to a total ban of 4 months. In fact, as early as 2010, Suarez had already contracted the disease while playing for Ajax.
He is addicted to biting. In a 0:0 contest with PSV Eindhoven, he once bit the opponent's player Bakar, but he was only suspended for two games at that time...
Now, Luo Wu's behavior has also detonated on the Internet, which is ten times more popular than Suarez's back then.
The discussion on the Internet has reached this point, and Luo Wu can't help it anymore, especially since so many so-called celebrities are bombarding him. It will be a mess if he doesn't stand up and fight back.
On Instagram, he calmly wrote: Guys who say they support my five-game suspension are usually cuckolds, right? How coward are you? Are you just trying to help your club? So what if I let you play a few games?
Naive! You can ban me for a year! I believe fairness still exists!
Luo Wu will never bow his head.
After the message was sent, he thought about it and added another sentence.
"Since England doesn't like me so much and tolerates racial discrimination and crime, the worst I can do is not play in the Premier League. I can go to leagues in other countries! I want to buy! I want to leave in the winter!"
This sentence seemed to be just an ordinary angry remark, but after it was uttered, it caused a huge response.
The young and energetic Luo Wu did not consider Arsenal's feelings and said this. However, Arsenal's senior management did not call Luo Wu after reading Luo Wu's post on Instagram, but chose to remain silent.
Because they know that Luo Wu is just angry and does not really want to leave the Premier League. After all, he has just signed a new contract and the liquidated damages have been increased to 100 million. This is just putting pressure on the FA.
Luo Wu is now the best player in the Premier League. Does England want to let Luo Wu go? Absolutely impossible.
but,
It's different for clubs in other countries.
Especially Spain.
"Ser Radio" disclosed for the first time: Real Madrid is willing to spend 80 million pounds to introduce Luo Wu this winter!
"AS" stated that Barcelona is willing to introduce Chinese stars for 75 million pounds.
"Marca" also said that Real Madrid Chairman Florentino is full of interest in Chinese players.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, but the media has already started to hype it up.
Even France's "L'Equipe" said that Paris Saint-Germain's owner Tamim Al Thani intends to acquire Luo Wu, so that Luo Wu, Neymar and Mbappe can form the lmn combination.
The Football Association really didn't expect that this incident would spread to the whole of Europe, and even affect La Liga and Ligue 1.
They also received the appeal from Arsenal Club as soon as possible and an emergency meeting was being held at this time.
"We cannot give up on the correct decision we made just because of the pressure of public opinion. We must stick to our original decision. I even think our punishment was excessive."
"Ezer, you are a Manchester City fan, and I think your personal opinion is a bit too much. We should consider that Hazard is likely to go to Real Madrid this winter, and we will lose the Premier League top player, and Ronaldo
He is the hottest player in the Premier League now, and if Ronaldo leaves because of our penalty, it will not do us any good!"
"Walter? If you want to accuse me of being a Manchester City fan, then why don't you ask yourself, you are an Arsenal fan, and you can have no discipline in order to safeguard the interests of Arsenal?"
Apparently, representatives from Manchester City and Arsenal are having a falling out...
The chairman of the disciplinary committee held his tongue and remained silent. This was not the time for him to speak. He also wanted to hear other people's opinions. He glanced at the secretary-general next to him.
The secretary-general held up the golden glasses frame:
"There is no big problem with this punishment, but it is also a big problem."
"I want to remind everyone."
"The Chinese consortium will transfer a huge amount of cooperation expenses the day after tomorrow. It will be nearly 500 million pounds in five years." The secretary was the most thoughtful!
"This is a share that everyone can get. 20 teams can get at least 20 million."
To be honest.
There was no sound in the conference room for an instant...
