"We have just received news that after Arsenal's 3-0 away win over Galatasaray, Arsenal fans were beaten up in Istanbul and two Arsenal fans were seriously injured"

In fact.

For the Arsenal players.

Their flight back to London from Istanbul was a pleasure.

But their happy mood ended until they got on the bus at the airport.

On the TV set of the bus, real-time news is being played.

The sleepy Arsenal players were stunned by the news that was being broadcast.

They watched in amazement at the brawl on the TV screen – no, the brawl was just a Turkish rhetoric.

It was a siege by Galatasaray fans against Arsenal fans away from home.

Especially after hearing that there are fans who are seriously injured.

The players' expressions became more solemn.

"He is. Old Carl! Oh my God, it's the Campbell brothers! ”

Wilshire exclaimed.

The Campbell brothers are veteran Arsenal members and season ticket holders.

They are twin brothers, named Karl. Campbell and Saul. Campbell.

They used to work as stadium staff at Arsenal's old home of Highbury.

Many of the Arsenal staff know them.

Many Arsenal fans also know the Campbell brothers, who live right next to the old Highbury Stadium.

"Oh God"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Damn the Turks!"

The Arsenal players covered their mouths as they looked at the two veteran Arsenal fans who had been beaten to the brink at the press conference.

In the corner of the bus, there was even a sob.

At just 17 years old, Academy midfielder Esfield couldn't hold back his tears.

The excitement after the Arsenal team won suddenly fell to the bottom.

Ye Luo's face was also solemn, and he even blamed himself a little.

Maybe

If I had kept a low profile, they wouldn't have suffered any of this, would they?

Ye Luo's mood suddenly became a little low.

But he quickly adjusted.

It's none of his business, those football hooligans are essentially a bunch of fools who are just venting their violent tendencies in the name of football.

So I must not get used to these fools.

Yelo clenched his fists, originally Galatasaray's opponent was just a small coffee in the Champions League.

But now.

They have the privilege of being the team that Yelo is going to abuse with all his might!

"Lao Tzu will let their team have a night of a lifetime in the second leg!"

Ye Luo gritted his teeth and said.

"That's right!"

"Gotta kill them!!"

Many of Arsenal's players are on the same page.

Arsene Wenger was on the phone, asking about Arsenal's fans.

Even the British embassy has been contacted by the Arsenal club side.

Hopefully the safety of the fans will be guaranteed.

Such an encounter made the atmosphere of the whole Arsenal team seem a little gloomy.

"The situation is fine, Karl's injuries are more serious, but he has also regained consciousness and is not in danger of life, and the club has arranged for staff to take them back to London for treatment."

Arsene Wenger's words made the Arsenal players on the bus breathe a sigh of relief.

After the bus returned to the base, the players were dismissed. Go back to your own house.

Arsenal's schedule is quite intense.

They will play the 27th round of the league against Aston Villa at home when they return to Turkey.

The game came two and a half days after Arsenal returned from Turkey, so the team didn't really have time to worry about anything else.

But on the contrary.

Just when the Arsenal players thought that if they just brought the injured fans back from Turkey and the team went to visit the Campbell brothers en masse, the matter would be over.

Fights between players are a common occurrence in England.

This kind of thing is all too common.

Although people say to keep violence away from football.

But now there is a dark side to football culture.

Elements of violence often follow like shadows.

As a result, Arsenal's players are thankful that no one was killed.

But on the second day.

The wind has changed.

Because the media on the Turkish side are unanimous in their claims, claiming that Arsenal fans are football hooligans.

It was they who provoked Galatasaray's fans to cause this unfortunate incident.

The Campbell brothers, two old men in their sixties, were described by the Turkish media as if they had become villains who did nothing, gangsters, and leaders of football hooligans, and they were completely to blame for the group beatings.

The black history of the hooligans of the Turks in the hot hype of English football.

Trying to associate the term football hooliganism with the Arsenal away fans that night.

Why did the Turkish media suddenly start to hype this matter en masse?

Because they see a little hope of Galatasaray promotion - that is, UEFA will come forward to punish Arsenal!

As long as they get the Arsenal fans in trouble away from home.

Maybe UEFA will really make a move.

The first is that UEFA and England's teams have not dealt with each other very well.

secondly

Everyone knows that Yelo also has a bad relationship with UEFA president Michel Platini.

And this kind of thing is about a "preemptive strike".

That's where the power of the media comes in.

When they bring the wind direction, it is too difficult to reverse the direction of the wind.

Originally, they lost 0-3 at home, and 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 Arsenal fans provoked first, they were football hooligans.

What, you say evidence?

Where does the media need that thing.

And on the other side.

The English media reacted slightly sluggishly.

Mainly because England fans do have bad behavior abroad.

In the absence of evidence, the English media remained silent at the beginning, more concerned about the fans' injuries than engaging in a verbal battle with the Turkish media.

In fact, the main reason is that the international influence of the Turkish media is not very large, and even if they are hoarse, the influence is limited to Turkey.

However, there must have been media reports in the Turkish media that were reprinted.

This caused a backlash from Arsenal's players and fan base.

That day.

Yelo was right at the door of the training base, refuting the slander of the Turkish media as the captain of Arsenal!

"The Campbell brothers hold Arsenal's season tickets for forty-three years in a row! They are the most loyal Arsenal fans, and I don't know why a sixty-three-year-old man who has never had a precedent for violence would provoke the Turks. I know them and I can guarantee with my personality that they are definitely not football hooligans! ”

"Everything I went through in Turkey taught me what a real "football hooligan", yes, the fans of Galatasaray humiliated me personally, insulted me personally from the stands, even to the point of raising the color of my skin, my country, my cultural background, they were humiliating everything related to me, they made unbearable noise in the hotel where we stayed, they behaved like this, they were the real football hooligans! ”

Yelo's words made the English media react quickly.

Now is not the time to focus on evidence!

The war between the media can never be won if it is too disciplined.

And where is the English media having that thing.

They can argue three points about things that they didn't care about.

Now you have a reason for yourself.

Of course, it's a rush to the top.

They soon spread Yelo's words widely in the media.

The TV station also showed all the footage of Galatasaray fans doing trouble at the Arsenal hotel and humiliating Yelo in the stands.

On media influence.

Turkey can't catch up with the UK.

So quickly.

The international voice of the Turkish media was suppressed by the British media.

At this time, the Turkish side began to protest against the "media hegemony" of the British.

Yelo was determined to stand 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 on his Twitter that the entire Arsenal team and the hospital bed were in the car. Campbell's group photo.

He wrote on Twitter.

"In our Dragon Country, there is a saying that "it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!" But I'm lucky because I only have to wait a week for revenge! Galatasaray's players may be innocent, but I'm going to let their shit fans know what they're going to do! ”

This is Ye Luo's direct declaration of war.

And he is also the captain of Arsenal.

He said so.

Arsenal and Galatasaray's good son is considered to be married.

Turkish media also reported on Yelo's declaration on Twitter.

Due to the fact that their voice in the international arena was suppressed.

So I can only laugh at myself in my own country.

They laughed at Yelo, believing that his behavior had provoked the morale of Galatasaray's players.

"It's so stupid".

On the English side, though.

Many fans, not just Arsenal fans, were appreciative of Yelo's behaviour.

In England.

The bond between the team and the fans is very, very close.

Fans are part of the team.

Football, community, fans, the three are closely connected.

It is an important reason why the football ecology in England is so vibrant.

Even a super-giant like Manchester United, which has a huge number of fans around the world.

They also have a lot of emphasis on local fans.

Speaking of which.

Back then, because Manchester United was acquired by American capital.

As a result, some Manchester United fans thought that the club had betrayed the fans and no longer recognized the current Manchester United as qualified to represent Manchester United, so these fans formed a new Manchester United.

In order to score points, this team is traditionally referred to as "Lianman".

But they insist they are the rightful Manchester United who have inherited the glory of the Red Devils for more than 100 years.

And now the Manchester United that is more in the media is just the plaything of the Americans.

A Manchester United different expression belongs to is.

Such insistence is not ridiculous in fact, and they even have the sympathy and support of many English people.

So Yelo also has the support of most of the fans in England except for Arsenal fans.

"Arsenal have a great captain!"

Some fans envied.
