Not surprisingly, Wang Xiaodong became popular again.
At the press conference after the game, all reporters stared eagerly, waiting to ask about Wang Xiaodong's situation.
For this reason, Keegan had to pretend to be seriously injured in order to "protect" Wang Xiaodong.
"...I never thought something like that would happen, and I'm sure Marsali is not such a bad player. It was a complete accident."
"He wanted to pick up the ball, and I happened to be in the path closest to him and the ball. This was my mistake."
"As for Dong, he is just a warm-hearted young man who respects the elderly and is eager to save people."
When Kevin Keegan said these adjectives without changing his expression, even the media below couldn't stand it.
If Dong was a warm-hearted and good young man, then there would be no KB elements in the world!
"I dare to swear on my own honor that violence is not Dong's original intention."
"He was too anxious at the time. When he saw me injured and lying on the ground, he couldn't accept that the culprit who caused all this left casually."
"I'm sorry for what happened. I didn't teach my players well."
"After this, I will give him a good cultural lesson. I will tell him that on the football field, playing football is not necessarily the top priority. Respecting the opponent is what each of us should do."
"Okay, let me stop here."
"My waist is really hurting. I want to go to the hospital as soon as possible. Please allow me to leave early."
After saying that, Keegan stood up little by little with the help of Jack, and left in front of all the media.
The reporters in the audience wanted to ask some sensitive and hot topics, but in the end they kept their mouths shut.
They can't stop an old man with a "serious injury" to his waist from going to the doctor, right?
...
After returning to the locker room, Kevin Keegan looked at the sulking Wang Xiaodong in the corner with a speechless expression.
In fact, when I saw Wang Xiaodong desperately rushing forward to hold Ma Shali back for him, and punching him without hesitation when the other party refused to apologize, I was still very moved.
But as refreshing as it was, he had to step in and wipe Wang Xiaodong's butt afterwards.
"Dong... you... alas!" Three consecutive words that were inconsistent perfectly expressed Keegan's feelings at this moment.
What made him angry was not that Wang Xiaodong took action rashly, but that until now, he had no attitude of admitting his mistakes.
For this reason, Keegan decided to teach Wang Xiaodong a lesson and let him have a long memory.
"Dong, why are you still so irritable? You can't think twice before you act when something happens?" Keegan pretended to be angry.
"Think twice before you act? If you had really waited for 'think twice', that guy would have run away long ago!" Faced with Keegan's accusation, Wang Xiaodong responded without hesitation, "And that guy also made rude remarks and insulted me. Motherland. He is a complete racial element, and beating that kind of guy will be in vain!"
Wang Xiaodong was still angry and didn't want to listen to anyone.
"Dong, I don't care what kind of person that guy is, you know, I'm only responsible for you." Keegan still looked serious, "I'm warning you, if you continue to maintain such a temper without any regrets, this Before the end of the season, you don’t want to play anymore!”
As soon as Keegan said this, other players in the locker room were shocked.
Fernandez immediately stood up, trying to persuade Keegan to take back the serious words he just said.
Even if the Football Association of England bans Wang Xiaodong, it will only be for two or three games.
But there are still 7 games left in this season, and each one is important!
"Hey, old man, did you fall down?" Wang Xiaodong immediately became furious after hearing this, "Didn't you fall down on your back? Why did you also break your head? I am obviously helping you to avenge you, how can you Treat me with outsiders?"
"Dong, this is not a place for gangsters to fight on the street. The stadium has its own rules. You don't need to avenge me!" Keegan's tone was still tough.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Wang Xiaodong said "ok" three times in a row, "Then in this case, even if you are beaten to death by your opponent next time, I won't help you!"
"What I wish for!"
"Fake, you are such an old fool!" Wang Xiaodong shook off Dyer who came to break up the fight and walked into the bathroom angrily.
The locker room was extremely awkward, and everyone was silent except for Keegan's angry breathing.
After a while, Fernandez stood up and acted as peacemaker.
"Coach, please calm down. You also know that Dong has a bad temper. What's more, you were the one who dug him out in the first place. Logically speaking, you should know him better than anyone else!"
"And I saw the situation clearly today. It was obviously the opponent's player who offended you first, and then Dong lost his mind."
"From this perspective, he cares about you..."
"Hmph! I really appreciate his concern!" Keegan snorted coldly, but felt a lot relieved in his heart.
Looking at the whole of England, which player would stand up for the coach as desperately as Wang Xiaodong?
From a personal perspective, Keegan was actually very moved.
But he's not just an individual, he's also a coach.
Wang Xiaodong has already messed up Southampton's FA Cup. If he messes up the league again, things will be very serious.
And given Wang Xiaodong's "notorious reputation" with the FA, the FA might just catch Wang Xiaodong's pigtails this time when he takes the initiative and directly ban him for life.
By then, it will be too late.
Even if Wang Xiaodong finally wins the lawsuit, it will still take at least a year and a half.
For a player whose skills are in an explosive period of improvement, the delay of six months and a year is enough to be fatal!
"Yes, boss, please calm down and let's try to persuade Dong Dong again! Let him apologize to you then." The other team members also opened their mouths to persuade him.
Small teams have the advantage of being small teams and are not as full of internal factions as the giants.
Especially when the team shares a promotion goal, the internal unity is far beyond what wealthy teams can match.
Although Wang Xiaodong is impatient and reckless, his role on the court for most of the season is obvious to all. Now that he heard that Keegan was going to suspend him until the end of the season, all the players on the team who could speak came to Keegan to persuade the coach.
Especially players like Fernandez, who originally planned to retire after this season.
After winning the League Cup, these veterans came up with the idea of playing for one more year.
If possible, who wouldn't want to retire as a "Premier League player"?
Being surrounded by the veterans of the team, Keegan was a little less angry.
Now as long as Wang Xiaodong takes the initiative to speak, he will immediately give the other party a step down.
When Bell saw this, he took off his jersey and shorts, and walked into the bathroom to do some enlightenment work on the other side.
However, within two minutes, a roar came from the bathroom.
"FXXK YOU! GET OUT, NOW!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bell, who was covered in foam, was kicked out by Wang Xiaodong.
Before everyone could appreciate the body hair covering Bell's body, a piece of soap flew out of the bathroom and hit Bell on the bridge of his nose.
"You damn faggot, you threw soap in front of me. Have you lived enough?"
Hearing Wang Xiaodong's curse, the teammates looked at Bell in shock and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Bell nervously covered his private parts, blushed, and kept apologizing: "No, I'm sorry... I really didn't mean to do it, my hand slipped just now..."
...
There is no airtight wall in the world, and the quarrel between Wang Xiaodong and Keegan in the locker room was reported.
The rumors spread more and more, and in the end there was even a rumor that "Keegan sacrificed his life for peace, violently threw soap and hit the coach".
Anyway, Southampton, which just defeated Manchester United to win the League Cup, once again became the focus of fans' attention.
In the Premier League, coaches and players are well-known for taking drastic action.
On February 15, 2003, in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Man Face lost to Arsenal 0-2 at Old Trafford.
However, after the game, Sir Alex Ferguson and Beckham had a loud argument in the dressing room.
Sir Alex felt that the second goal conceded was Beckham's responsibility, but Beckham felt aggrieved because Sir Alex had imposed the responsibility of most of the team on him alone.
The furious Sir Alex kicked off the sneakers in front of him to vent his anger.
But what a coincidence, the sneaker hit Beckham's left eye socket. In an instant, blood flowed like a torrent.
(There are also rumors that Sir Alex Ferguson deliberately kicked the sneakers towards Beckham. Anyone with any brains can tell the difference clearly. If Sir Alex Ferguson really did that, why would he be a coach? He just kicked off the field by himself)
Beckham was stunned by the sudden blow.
You know, in England, Beckham is a public figure who can rely on his face to make a living.
With the help of Giggs, Gary, Ruud and others, Beckham was successfully stopped from rushing towards Sir Alex Ferguson at all costs.
After more than a minute, Beckham, who had calmed down, gave up seeking revenge from the coach and instead went to the infirmary to treat his wounds.
This incident caused an uproar in the Premier League that year.
Also after that season, Beckham was sold to Real Madrid by Manchester United.
The former Class 92 began to gradually decline due to Xiaobei's departure.
Back then, when Sir Alex Ferguson and Beckham had a falling out, Manchester United sold their star player; now Southampton is doing the same, are they going to sell Wang Xiaodong too?
Because of this association, several giants in the Premier League suddenly fanned the flames behind the bad media and added fuel to the flames.
They don't need to know the truth of the matter, and they don't want to think about what a bad player Wang Xiaodong is.
They just want to separate Southampton's new twin stars as soon as possible and then take them as their own.
Just imagine, if there is a "mad dog" player like Wang Xiaodong as an opponent next season, it will definitely be a nightmare for all Premier League teams.
If you can't defeat your opponent, make him one of your own!
This is the usual practice of wealthy families.
In the end, although the headlines of every news report seemed ridiculous, those gossip fans were more willing to believe that Wang Xiaodong really threw the scandal-filled soap at Keegan!
