Soon, the FA announced the final outcome of the handling of the clash of players that took place at the Charity Shield:

After the result of the English FA's punishment came out, it immediately caused an exclamation! This was called by the English media as the most severe fine in the history of English football. Not only is it because of the number of bans on individual players, but also because such a large number of penalties for players and coaches are also the harshest in the history of English football.

Attentive media noticed that in this large-scale ticket, it was not Yang Fan who received the most severe punishment, but Portsmouth's player Campbell. Obviously, Ferguson and Manchester United have been putting pressure on the FA, and at the same time using the media to create a sense that the main culprit of this violent clash is Portsmouth centre-back Campbell's malicious hurtful actions, and this view is also shared by the FA.

Of course, Portsmouth were not happy with this, believing that the punishment for Campbell and Diop was too harsh, and that the punishment for Yang Fan was too light. Portsmouth people now hate Yang Fan, not only to make them lose, but also, the new season has not yet started, because of this incident, the team's four players have been banned extensively, Portsmouth is not a strong team with a deep bench, and the team's four main players have been banned, which is almost a catastrophe for this team. Although they are still able to buy players, this has left Portsmouth with the problem of buying players who have just settled in with the whole team before the suspended players are back......

Portsmouth immediately appealed, unhappy with the decision.

Portsmouth appealed, what about Manchester United?!

The media eyes were on the Carrington training base, and they all wanted to know if Ferguson would appeal this time.

Manchester United did not appeal, this is what Ferguson meant, this time, in order to help Yang Fan and Tevez reduce the punishment, it can be said that he tried his best to public relations, which is already the best result that Manchester United can strive for. [To read the latest chapter of this book, please search] [Just love reading]

Moreover, Ferguson, who has always had a bad relationship with the FA, also had to reach a compromise with the FA this time, and the FA reduced Yang Fan's ban from ten to seven, and Ferguson also had to accept the punishment result and no longer appeal, giving the FA a face.

※※※※※※※

The punishment of Yang Fan's seven-game ban still made Ferguson finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Yang Fan suffered an injury to his left leg and it will take about two months to return to the court.

Two months, that's about seven or eight games. The seven-game ban happened to allow Yang Fan to recuperate from his injury.

Therefore, it can be said that Yang Fan's recuperation can just allow him to avoid this ban. And this is where the people of Portsmouth vomit the most blood, don't look at Yang Fan's punishment of seven games of banning is very severe, but this guy is injured, even if he is not banned, he can't play!

The English media is also discussing the result of this severe fine, and the war of words between the two cities of Manchester and Portsmouth has not stopped, but has intensified.

Alex Ferguson and Manchester United are not bothered to bother with this at the moment, as the first round of the 2008/2009 season is just around the corner.

On 17 August 2008, Manchester United welcomed Newcastle United, their first league opponent of the new season, at their home stadium at Old Trafford.

After the league match of the new season came out, this game also attracted a lot of attention, and the reason for the attention was because of Yang Fan.

Although Yang Fan only became famous in the Bundesliga Wolfsburg team, he is a player from Newcastle's youth team and a genius who went out of the Rigberton training base! This is also the proudest and most painful thing for Newcastle fans now. Proudly, Rigber has produced another outstanding star, and it is heartbreaking that such a superstar was sold for 20 million euros by the short-sighted club hierarchy. Otherwise, St James' Park will now have a super goalscorer! After Alan Shearer's retirement, Newcastle's record is not as good as year after year, and the team urgently needs a new flag. Of course, this is just the emotion of Newcastle fans now, you know, when Newcastle's owner Fat Ashley sold Yang Fan for 20 million euros, some Newcastle fans were still very happy at that time, thinking that the team had made a fortune. It was only then that they saw Yang Fan's wonderful performance and saw Yang Fan shocked the entire European football world with a goal, and these Newcastle fans realized what a precious treasure they had lost!

Therefore, because of the relationship between Yang Fan and Newcastle, after the schedule of the new Premier League season came out, it was learned that Manchester United's first game of the new season was against Yang Fan's 'old club' Newcastle, and the media was also very interested, and they were also looking forward to this game, and even began to hype the story of Yang Fan and Newcastle.

It's a pity that what happened in the Charity Shield match made Yang Fan destined to miss the game, which also disappointed the media and fans who were very interested in the story behind the game.

Yang Fan is injured and suspended, Tevez is suspended, and Carrick is suspended, and the latter's ban does not have much impact on Manchester United, after all, both Fletcher and Hargreaves can replace Carrick's place. However, the absence of Yang Fan and Tevez has a huge impact on Manchester United.

Manchester United's forward line was stretched thin, and Ferguson had to promote three young strikers from the youth team in one go to finally make it past the 18-man squad for this game.

In this game, Ferguson lined up front with the forward combination of Wayne Rooney and youth player Welbeck.

Looking at Newcastle United, the forward combination is Owen and Viduka, one is the best striker in England ever, the other is a first-class scorer in the Premier League, and Martins and Ameobi are still sitting there on the bench, looking at Newcastle's forward equipment, Ferguson is a little greedy.

In the end, Manchester United lost 0-1 at Old Trafford, and Manchester United, without Tevez and Yang Fan, as well as Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo, were disorganized at the offensive end and struggled to organise an effective attack, but Newcastle took advantage of a set-piece opportunity to score the only goal of the game with a header from Viduka.

Losing the first game of the new season at home, Manchester United had a bad start to the new season.

For the result of this game, Ferguson is mentally prepared, after all, throughout the summer training and warm-up games, Ferguson is focusing on the important role of Yang Fan in the team's attack, whether it is Yang Fan and Rooney's partner or Yang Fan and Tevez's partner, the effect is okay, especially Yang Fan and Tevez's partner is very good. At the critical moment, Yang Fan was injured and banned, and Tevez was banned, which can be said to be a great blow to Manchester United.

A week later, Manchester United set off for the second round of the league fixture.

The match also attracted the attention of the whole of English football and even European football, because Manchester United were going to visit Portsmouth, and their opponents were Portsmouth!

In this game, the Portsmouth police on the home side are also close to the enemy, and the FA even said that it will pay special attention to this game.

In the end, the score of the game was 0-0, and the two sides exchanged scores.

However, the course of the game was not as pale as a 0-0 scoreline.

Although both sides were suspended from the clash at the Millennium Stadium, that doesn't mean the two sides will be on good terms during the game.

The game was full of gunpowder from the start, and Hargreaves was tackled off the pitch by Johnson, who was also sent off with a red card.

In this game, the referee showed a total of two red cards and seven yellow cards!

It can be seen that this game is tragic.

The only thing that made the FA breathe a sigh of relief was that the players on both sides finally did not lose their minds and did not clash too much.

However, the FA did not relent when it came to Portsmouth's Johnson and Manchester United veteran Gary Neville, who received red cards, with the two banned for three and four games respectively.

After the Charity Shield match, as well as this campaign, Manchester United and Portsmouth have become enemies completely!

In the eyes of some Manchester United fans, although this kind of hatred cannot be compared with the century-old hatred between the sworn rival Liverpool, it is also the kind of hatred that wants to abuse each other when they meet!

The Premier League has one more pair of rivals.

※※※※※※※

After two league games, defending champions Manchester United have drawn one and lost one, picking up just one point and sitting in 15th place in the league, with frequent relegation zones, something that no one expected before the start of the new season.

"The Times" bluntly said that now, in the entire Premier League, Portsmouth is definitely Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea. Portsmouth have crippled the Premier League's favourites to win the title.

However, some people seem to have a different opinion, and he believes that the reason for the current bad situation of Manchester United is Yang Fan's thorn in the head!

"There is no doubt that this person is the biggest cancer that caused the current miserable situation of the defending champions, yes, you read that right, I used this word, cancer! It is unimaginable that Manchester United actually spent 35 million pounds to bring in such a person, he just came to the team, and directly helped Manchester United's opponents to abolish several of their teammates, Tevez, Carrick, Giggs, these people's bans and absences are related to this Chinese! He is not a cancer Who is a cancer? If Manchester United finally loses the championship this season, Yang Fan is undoubtedly the culprit! We look forward and look to the future, if Manchester United does not deal with this cancer sooner, their future will be bleak in the coming seasons...... This is the prophecy of me, David Prescott!" - The Sun

It was the day after the second round of the league match, and an article in The Sun was headlined: Chinese are Manchester United's big cancer!

In this article, the spearhead of the current bad situation of the Manchester United team is pointed at Yang Fan, believing that Yang Fan is a restless element in the Manchester United team and a cancer in the Red Devils!

David Prescott?!

If Yang Fan hears this name, I don't know if it will feel familiar.

That's right, this David Prescott is Yang Fan's old acquaintance, when Yang Fan was still in the Newcastle youth team, this David Prescott once accepted bribes from Yang Fan's rival Robert Cavina in the youth team, and ridiculed Yang Fan in the "Newcastle Post", encouraging Newcastle to terminate the contract with Yang Fan.

It was only later that Yang Fan broke out in the youth team, and his performance became better and better, and this David Prescott was also fired from the Newcastle Post.

This was definitely a big setback for David Prescott's media career when he was in the 'rising period' of his career, and he naturally would never forget Yang Fan, the 'culprit' who caused this qiē. He hated Yang Fan.

This time, Yang Fan brought the highest value in Manchester United's history to the Old Trafford stadium, and David Prescott, who was already in the "Sun" newspaper at this time, immediately seemed to be beaten with chicken blood.

This time, though, David Prescott learned the lesson of last time and didn't rush into action. In fact, Yang Fan's performance in Manchester United's pre-season warm-up matches has always been remarkable, and David Prescott has never found an opportunity to criticize Yang Fan.

However, after the violent clash between the players in the Charity Shield, David Prescott was like a shark that smelled blood, and he was eager to bite off a few pieces of meat on Yang Fan's body.

He angrily denounced Yang Fan as an executioner in The Sun, claiming that such butcher players should be expelled from the football field! He even put forward the slogan of cleaning up the football field! This also made David Prescott win the hearts of Portsmouth fans, so much so that for a long time afterward, Portsmouth fans were loyal readers and fans of the famous football columnist David Prescott.

After the FA's punishment of Yang Fan came out, David Prescott criticized the FA for favoring Manchester United stars, believing that the punishment for Yang Fan was too light, and sarcastically said that this was the FA's compromise with Manchester United's forces! Well, this actually made David Prescott win the support of some fans and readers, many of whom are the traditional anti-Manchester United forces in the Premier League.

Now, Manchester United has one draw and one loss in the league, ranking at the bottom of the league in points, David Prescott can't wait to jump out and send out the third bullet of 'slamming Yang Fan', directly denouncing Yang Fan as a cancer!

Suffice it to say, David Prescott, who was not well known in the English sports media before, has recently made a name for himself, and many fans and the media are beginning to know that there is a Sun column critic named David Presscott, who is a determined Yang Fanhei.

※※※※※※※

"Damn, who is this guy?" Yang Fan was angry after learning that there was such a football commentator who was so unswerving to hack himself, "Do I have a grudge against him? Or did I rob his girlfriend or have an affair with his wife, he hates me so much!"

"Hahaha. Reeves Marr couldn't help but laugh when he saw Yang Fan jumping to his feet in anger. He came from Newcastle to visit Yang Fan with James Troisy and Andy Carroll, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the hospital bed, he heard Yang Fan screaming angrily.

"You've had a real holiday with this David Prescott. Andy Carroll laughed too. He looked at Yang Fan with some envy, he was a recognized genius at the Rigberton training base at the beginning, and his fame was so great that Yang Fan couldn't beat it at that time. Who would have thought that now more than two years later, Andy Carroll can only barely be regarded as a super substitute for Newcastle, and this Chinese team-mate has become a Manchester United star, and his 35 million pounds has also made him one of the top stars in the Premier League.

If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.
