"This station has just received news that after Arsenal defeated Galatasaray 3-0 in an away game, Arsenal fans were beaten in Istanbul, and two Arsenal fans were seriously injured."
In fact.
For the Arsenal players.
Their flight from Istanbul back to London was a joyful one.
But their happy mood ended when they got on the bus at the airport.
On the bus's TV, real-time news was playing.
The originally sleepy Arsenal players were stunned by the news content being broadcast.
They stared blankly at the fight scene on the TV screen - no, the fight was just Turkey's rhetoric.
This is Galatasaray fans attacking away Arsenal fans.
Especially after hearing about fans being seriously injured.
The expressions of the players became more solemn.
"He's old Carl! Oh my God, it's the Campbell brothers!"
Wilshere exclaimed.
The Campbell brothers are senior Arsenal members and season ticket holders.
They are twin brothers named Carl Campbell and Sol Campbell.
They once worked as stadium staff at Highbury, Arsenal's old home ground.
Many Arsenal staff know them personally.
Many Arsenal fans also know the Campbell brothers who live next to the old Highbury Stadium.
"Oh, God"
"what on earth is it?"
"Damn Turks!"
The Arsenal players covered their mouths and looked at the two old Arsenal fans who were beaten to a bloody head at the press conference.
There was even a sob from the corner of the bus.
Esfield, a 17-year-old youth training midfielder, couldn't help crying.
The excitement of the Arsenal team after winning suddenly fell to the bottom.
Ye Luo also looked solemn, and he even blamed himself.
Maybe
If I keep a low profile, they won't have to face this, right?
Ye Luo's mood suddenly became a little depressed.
But he quickly adjusted.
This is none of his business. Those football hooligans are essentially a group of idiots. They just use the name of football to vent their violent tendencies.
So I must not let these idiots get used to me.
Yelo clenched his fists. Originally, Galatasaray's opponent was just a minor player in the Champions League.
but now.
They are fortunate to be the team that Ye Luo will go all out to abuse!
"I'm going to give their team a night they'll never forget in the second leg!"
Ye Luo gritted his teeth and said.
"That's right!"
"We must kill them!!"
Many Arsenal players share the same hatred.
Wenger is on the phone, asking about Arsenal fans.
Arsenal have even contacted the British Embassy.
Hope the safety of fans can be ensured.
Such an encounter made the atmosphere in the Arsenal team seem a bit gloomy.
"The situation is okay. Carl's injury is more serious, but he has regained consciousness. There is no life-threatening condition. The club has arranged for staff to pick them up and return them to London for treatment."
Wenger's words gave the Arsenal players on the bus a slight sigh of relief.
The players were dismissed after the bus returned to base. Everyone goes back to their homes.
Arsenal's schedule is quite intensive.
Immediately after they return from Turkey, they will play the 27th round of the league and face Aston Villa at home.
This game came just two and a half days after Arsenal returned from Turkey, so the team actually had no time to worry about it.
But by accident.
The Arsenal players thought that as long as the injured fan was brought back from Turkey and the team went to visit the Campbell brothers collectively, the matter would be over.
Fights between players actually happen often in England.
This kind of thing is all too common.
Although people say we should keep violence away from football.
But now there is a dark side of football culture.
The element of violence often follows us like a shadow.
Therefore, Arsenal's players are thankful that no lives were lost.
But on the second day.
The wind has changed.
Because the media in Turkey unanimously claimed that Arsenal fans are football hooligans.
It was they who provoked the Galatasaray fans that led to this unfortunate incident.
The Campbell brothers, two old men in their 60s, were described by the Turkish media as villains who had nothing to do but were gangsters and leaders of a football hooligan group. They were beaten by a group of people entirely at their own fault.
Turks are hyping up the dark history of hooligans in English football.
Trying to relate the word football hooligan to Arsenal's away fans that night.
Why did the Turkish media suddenly start to collectively hype this matter?
Because they saw a little hope of Galatasaray advancing - that is, UEFA came forward to punish Arsenal!
As long as they put an end to the Arsenal fans causing trouble in away games.
Maybe UEFA will actually take action.
The first is that UEFA and English teams have not been very good at dealing with them.
Secondly
Everyone knows that Yello's relationship with UEFA President Platini is also very bad.
And what this kind of thing emphasizes is a "preemptive strike."
This is the power of the media.
When they set the direction of the wind, it becomes too difficult to reverse it.
Originally losing 0-3 at home, the Turkish media felt that Galatasaray's desire to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League was basically delusional.
But now they have renewed hope!
That's why they insisted that the Arsenal fans provoked first and they were football hooligans.
What, you mean evidence?
Where does the media need that?
And the other side.
The English media were slightly less responsive.
Mainly because English fans do have bad behavior abroad.
In the absence of evidence, the English media remained silent at the beginning. They were more concerned about the fans' injuries and did not argue with the Turkish media.
In fact, the main reason is that the international influence of Turkish media is not great. Even if they are hoarse, their influence is limited to Turkey.
However, some media must have reproduced the Turkish media reports.
This caused strong dissatisfaction among Arsenal's players and fan groups.
same day.
Yelo was right at the door of the training base, as the captain of Arsenal, refuting the slander of the Turkish media!
"The Campbell brothers have held Arsenal season tickets for forty-three consecutive years! They are the most loyal Arsenal fans. I don't know why a sixty-three-year-old man who has never had a violent record would provoke the Turks. I know them and I can guarantee with my personality that they are definitely not football hooligans!"
"Everything I experienced in Turkey taught me what a real 'football hooligan' is. Yes, Galatasaray fans humiliated me personally in the stands, insulted me, even down to the color of my skin, My country, my cultural background, they are humiliating everything related to me, they are making unbearable noise in the hotel where we are staying, their actions are the real football hooligans!"
The English media quickly reacted to Yello's words.
Now is not the time for evidence!
In the war between the media, you can never win if you pay too much attention to moral integrity.
And there is no moral integrity in the English media.
They can defend themselves against things that would otherwise be unreasonable.
Now I am justified.
Of course, you have to swarm them.
They quickly spread Ye Luo's remarks widely in the media.
The TV station also showed all the footage of Galatasaray fans causing trouble at Arsenal's hotel and humiliating Yello in the stands.
On media influence.
Turkey can't even keep up with the UK.
So very quickly.
The international voice of Turkish media has been suppressed by the British media.
At this time, Turkey began to protest against the British "media hegemony".
Yelo resolutely stood up for the Campbell brothers and even led the Arsenal players to visit the Campbell brothers in the hospital after training the next day.
He then posted a photo of the Arsenal team and Carl Campbell in the hospital bed on his Twitter.
he wrote on Twitter.
"In our Dragon Kingdom, there is a saying that "it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!" ", but I'm lucky, because I only have to wait a week for revenge! Galatasaray's players may be innocent, but I want their bullshit fans to know what the consequences will be for them. !”
This is Ye Luo's direct declaration of war.
And he is also the captain of Arsenal.
He said this.
Arsenal and Galatasaray have become good sons.
Turkish media also reported Yello's announcement on Twitter.
As their voices are silenced internationally.
So I can only enjoy myself in my own country.
They all laughed at Yelo, believing that his behavior aroused the fighting spirit of Galatasaray's players.
"It's so silly."
But here in England.
Many fans, not just Arsenal fans, appreciated Yello's behavior.
in England.
The connection between the team and the fans is very, very close.
Fans are part of the team.
Football, community and fans are closely connected.
It is an important reason why the English football ecosystem is so vibrant.
Even a super giant like Manchester United with many fans around the world.
They also attach great importance to local fans.
Talk about it.
It was because of Manchester United's acquisition by American capital.
This led some Manchester United fans to believe that the club had betrayed the fans and no longer recognized the current Manchester United team as qualified to represent Manchester United, so these fans established a new Manchester United.
In order to score points, this team is traditionally called "United Manchester".
But they insist that they are the orthodox Manchester United that has inherited the glory of the Red Devils for more than 100 years.
And the Manchester United that appears more in the media now is just a plaything of Americans.
A Manchester United different statement belongs to is.
In fact, such persistence is not ridiculous, and they have even received sympathy and support from many English people.
Therefore, Yello has also received the support of most fans in England except Arsenal fans.
"Arsenal have a great captain!"
Some fans said with envy.
