Chapter 689 "Black Devil!" (Bonus Chapter for 750 Monthly Tickets)
Even when reporters ran to ask him if he would apologize for maliciously fouling Richards, he replied arrogantly, "Apologize? He's dreaming! Unless he apologizes to Suarez first, I'll consider whether to apologize to him!"
"But he's injured, and seriously injured..." some reporters from Manchester interjected.
"Oh? He's actually injured? How serious is it?" Chen Hero feigned surprise, as if he had no idea that his kick had injured Richards.
"Latest news, he will be out of the game for Manchester City for a month to a month and a half," the reporter said.
Chen Hero widened his eyes, his expression even more surprised—this time he was genuinely surprised: "How much?"
"At least four weeks, at most six weeks!"
"Damn!" Chen Hero first cursed in his native language, then said, "Then do you know how long Suarez will be out due to injury?" He held up a "eight" gesture. "At least eight weeks! Two months!"
The news of Suarez's injury had just come out; his ankle was not just a sprain, but a torn ligament. The most optimistic estimate was that he would be out for two months. Even if it was slightly better, ten weeks was unavoidable.
So when Chen Hero heard that Richards was only out for a month to a month and a half, he was particularly angry.
"Damn it! He's only out for a month and a half, and you have the nerve to ask me to apologize to him! If he thinks he's a damn pitiful victim, then what about Luis? If he doesn't apologize to Luis, then this is his retribution!"
Chen Hero pushed away the reporter from Manchester who was standing in front of him and walked away.
Still furious, he kicked over a roadside trash can.
Watching his uncultured behavior, the reporters could only grin and express their helplessness.
Everyone knew Chen Hero had this kind of temper...
And the fact that Suarez would be out for at least two months was also true. Suarez was more seriously injured, but the culprit only received a yellow card. Chen Hero took revenge for his brother, but was sent off with a red card. It was normal for him to be angry...
However, the referee on duty had already written down Chen Hero's actions in the match report and submitted it to the English Football Association's Disciplinary and Referee Committee.
The Referee Committee had decided to impose additional penalties on Chen Hero's bad behavior in the game, but the specific number of games he would be banned for had not yet been determined.
Liverpool Football Club had also decided to appeal to the English Football Association's Disciplinary and Referee Committee regarding Richards' malicious foul on Suarez, hoping to impose additional penalties on Richards. They did not appeal Chen Hero's red card, because everyone knew that Chen Hero's red card was not a problem in itself, and it was impossible to change the result of the appeal. Moreover, once the English Football Association discovered that Liverpool's appeal was to ensure that Chen Hero, such an important player, did not miss important games, they would impose heavy penalties on Chen Hero and Liverpool Football Club.
Manchester City Football Club issued an official statement, expressing regret for Suarez's injury, and naturally also strongly condemned and criticized Chen Hero's malicious retaliation.
The two clubs showed signs of starting a war, and these reporters ran to Chen Hero's door to block him, which was also related to this—how could the flames of war burn more vigorously without the voices of the parties involved?
Suarez and Richards were both lying in the hospital, and only Chen Hero was still wandering outside at any time, so naturally they had to go to him.
Moreover, Chen Hero's reaction also gave the reporters something to gain—if Chen Hero honestly said that I apologize to Richards, that I am very sorry for hurting him, that he didn't mean it, that he was just impulsive...
Then this news would have no value for further hype, because Chen Hero would have said everything—he apologized, what else do you want? Everyone can only focus on the level of the two clubs to stir-fry it.
Now that Chen Hero is making such a fuss, everyone is happy—Chen Hero refuses to apologize and shouts that Richards should apologize to Suarez first, otherwise he will never regret it!
See, what a sensational content this is, it will definitely attract a lot of attention!

Sure enough, the next day Chen Hero's remarks appeared on major newspapers and TV news.
Facing the camera lens, Chen Hero arrogantly said: "Bi——He's only out for a month and a half, and you have the nerve to ask me to apologize to him! If he thinks he's Bi——a pitiful victim, then what about Luis? If he doesn't apologize to Luis, then this is his retribution!!"
That arrogant flame, even through the TV screen, came head-on, making everyone feel how bastard Chen Hero really was—perhaps Chen Hero is the only one who asks the other party to apologize first after tackling and injuring someone...
After that, the media launched a discussion on Chen Hero's attitude and words.
Some people think that Chen Hero is justified and reasonable. After all, Richards maliciously fouled first, and was retaliated against later, which can be regarded as self-inflicted. Therefore, it is reasonable for Chen Hero to ask him to apologize to Suarez first, and then apologize himself.
Some people also think that Chen Hero is making trouble unreasonably. These are two things and should not be regarded as one thing. He should first apologize for maliciously injuring Richards, and then he is qualified to ask others to apologize. After all, that is other people's freedom, and he cannot force others to do anything. Richards' foul does not constitute a reason for Chen Hero to maliciously retaliate against Richards. In any case, Chen Hero's actions are untenable.
The English Football Association Disciplinary and Referee Committee also stated that they had received the referee's report and Liverpool Football Club's appeal, and they would investigate these two matters.
Before that, no additional penalties will be imposed on Chen Hero for the time being. Even so, he will face a three-game ban, not one, because this is a "malicious foul or a foul that violates sportsmanship." However, it is believed that the additional penalty will come out soon, so he is likely to be banned for a series of games...

Originally, arguing like this was just an ordinary argument, even if it was more lively, it was still the same, and the nature would not change.
But the next day, Richards suddenly revealed a very shocking news—Chen Hero racially discriminated against him!
This is big news! Very sensational big news!
In the UK, getting involved in racial discrimination will instantly cause countless controversies and attention.
Richards' agent Levack said in an interview with reporters in the hospital: "Yes, he (Chen Hero) said to Micah (Micah Richards): 'Don't fucking think that no one can deal with you, nigger!' He really said that, I guarantee it with my personality! This is what Richards told me personally!"
When the reporters at the scene heard Levack's words, they were collectively stunned for about two or three seconds, and then the scene boomed!
This accusation is quite serious!
"Are you sure? Mr. Levack!"
"Did he really say that?"
"Do you guarantee that you or Richards didn't mishear?"
The reporters who reacted rushed forward, moving the microphones, phones, and recorders closer.
Levack raised his arm, pressed his other hand on his chest, and made a swearing gesture: "Of course I can guarantee, and I am sure, this is the truth! The truth is that Liverpool's number nine player attacked Micah with very vicious language on the court! I suggest the English Football Association investigate this matter!"
The commotion among the reporters became even greater.
Chen Hero's flying tackle on Richards... is really not simple!

"Hero Suspected of Racial Discrimination!"
"...Levack: Hero Racially Discriminates Against Richards!"
"...According to our latest news, Richards' Manchester City Club has submitted a complaint report to the English Football Association, and the main content is a strong protest against Chen Hero's possible racial discrimination!"
"Hero Deeply Involved in 'Racial Discrimination Gate', Liverpool Football Club Protests Against Manchester City Club's Complaint, They Firmly Stand on Chen Hero's Side!"
……
In half a day, all the media in England reported on this matter and used a lot of space. As a result, the whole of England knew that the latest progress in the most eye-catching football event recently was that Chen Hero scolded Richards on the court as a "nigger."
It has to be said that the level of development of the English media is really terrifying.
Some newspapers even published photos of the time—Richards was lying face down on the grass, Chen Hero rushed up in one stride, leaned down and pointed at him and cursed—and put a dialogue box on this photo, the dialogue box pointing to Chen Hero, meaning that this is what Chen Hero said: "Nigger!"

"Franz, is this really effective?" Lying on the hospital bed, Richards' ankle was still in a cast. He was asking Franz Levack, the agent sitting by his bed.
And next to them, there were many newspapers published that day, all of which were news reports about Chen Hero's suspected racial discrimination against Richards.
Franz Levack was Richards' newly hired agent.
Before that, he changed two agents. The previous one was his father. However, because his father instigated him to negotiate a salary increase with the club, he had a very unpleasant relationship with the club. So in the end, he weighed it and decided not to let his father be his agent. His father did not have the ability to be an agent. He only wanted to get more money from the club for his family, which made it difficult for him to work in the club.
Franz Levack is a professional agent with a FIFA agent license issued by FIFA. This is much more reliable than his father Lincoln.
The idea in front of him was also given to him by Levack.
The reason naturally has to start with Chen Hero's arrogance. Chen Hero declared in a high-profile manner that he did not regret tackling and injuring Richards, and that Richards should apologize to Suarez first, which made Richards very unhappy.
In order to vent this anger, Levack gave Richards such an idea.
"Look at these newspapers, you also watched the TV shows last night, Micah. Do you have any questions?" Levack shook the newspapers in front of him.
Richards still frowned: "But in fact, he didn't say that 'nigger'..."
"Of course I know! But aren't we going to fix him? Besides, it was so noisy at the scene at the time, who heard what that bastard said?"
"They can hire lip-reading experts..."
"This is where my plan is brilliant!" Levack showed a smug smile. "I looked at all the game recordings I could find, and no camera angle could capture his mouth, because he was leaning down, very close to you, and your body and his body blocked it. So it's useless to ask lip-reading experts, because you can't see his mouth shape! So don't worry! This time, he must be suspended for more than eight games!"
