Team Spirit

Chapter 116 (1.1 words, please subscribe) Ashley Ironborn, he kicked away a century-old club
As the hostess watched Lu Kai's retreating figure, she experienced for the first time what it meant to be extremely lewd and violent.

She swore she had always thought she didn't have that kind of fetish.

But as Lu Kai walked towards her, she found herself seemingly... looking forward to it!
"He touched my index finger when he took the trophy! Does this mean I should go see him after dinner? Or at 1 a.m.?" The hostess shared excitedly with her colleague next to her.

The girls standing nearby exclaimed in envy and jealousy, and helped her analyze the "deeper" meaning behind Lu Kai's words.

Even if nothing happens in the end, this young woman could still publish a blog on the internet titled "How I rejected the invitation for a one-night stand from famous soccer star Lu Kai."

This is a true story!

Not made up!
You have to believe it!

Lu Kai was the first to leave the field.

Behind him, Dartford players followed one after another.

Alfred was very thoughtful, making the players take home the Golden Boot and Best Player awards that Lu Kai had damaged.

These aren't scrap materials; they're a sickle and a hammer!
This is a tool of revolution, a work of art!

In addition, he also had Amorim and the others pack up and take everyone's championship medals with them, to distribute them slowly back home.

Details of the award ceremony can be exclusively revealed in Eva's "My Love Diary in Assen Green".

……

When Dartford drove to the hospital to visit Ashley Young.

The entire British social media community has exploded, and even overseas attention has turned to this "football violence" incident.

Sky Sports: "After an epic 11-1 thrashing, Dartford chose to gang up on the 'culprit' during the awards ceremony!"

BBC: "The worst awards ceremony in history! Dartford and Blackpool's story continues after winning the UK Championship!"

The Times: "The joy of the treble win couldn't dampen Green Guns' determination to avenge Ashley Young! Luke and Dartford are worthy of being called the guns of revenge!"

Mundo Deportivo: "It's shameful and outrageous for the opponent to keep scoring after giving up! The awards ceremony was a brawl against the loser; their victory was ugly and they don't deserve to be called GOAT!"

Of course, third-rate media outlets followed suit.

Second-rate media are setting the tone.

Top-tier media outlets are already promoting products.

"The Voice of Green Guns": "Baseball bats are outdated, now the popular weapon for fighting is the 'Lu Kai Trophy'!"

Dongqiudi: "The EFL Trophy Player of the Year trophy is a hit! Whether Lu Kai can change the football world is unclear, but he is changing the gangster scene!"

Hong Kong Voice: "Big Circle Boy, worship Lu Kai, double flower red stick beats up foreigners! Triple crown king, he's got to be arrogant, I told you not to touch Ashley Alder!"

But whether they support Lu Kai or oppose him, they still feel that Lu Kai's actions are too outrageous.

It's too ridiculous.

Such a heinous incident deserves a lifetime ban, wouldn't that be an overstatement?
Being detained by the police is a given, right?
Sentencing is acceptable, isn't it?
They'll have to pay a huge sum in compensation, won't they?
After all, this happened in Britain, one of the world's centers of civilization, so it must be handled according to the law!
It's impossible for Lu Kai to escape legal punishment just because he owns a club and is worth nearly ten million pounds!
Does having money mean you can do whatever you want?

Anyone outside of Europe and America could almost certainly see Lu Kai's tragic fate.

People in Europe and America, however, do not think so.

Some of Lu Kai's own lawyers and law firms even called and left messages for Dartford's senior management from all directions, indicating that they were confident they could help him get acquitted.

The most outrageous suggestion was to turn the tables and convict Marshall, sending him to jail!

The world's divisions were on full display at this moment.

Just as no one could have imagined that "democracy" could be "fair" to this extent before Biden pardoned all the crimes his son had committed over the past decade!

However, Lu Kai ignored these bloodsucking law firms.

It's not that I don't believe in their abilities, but rather that I don't believe in their character.

Companies that consult with "consulting firms" often face significant challenges from their competitors a few years later, as these competitors will consult the consulting firms they consulted, obtain their business secrets, or copy or crack them, thereby gaining the upper hand.

It's not just one or two individuals or businesses that have been scammed by law firms.

Besides... Lu Kai doesn't need his help yet.

Some people are more anxious than him.

Ding Ding Ding!
Lu Kai's phone rang; it was Joyce.

“Behind Blackpool is Commissioner Smith, who is more senior than me and has considerable influence within the FA system,” Joyce said. “My rise to power disrupted his plans and replaced the person he had arranged.”

"Now that no new talent is coming up in their faction and he's about to retire, the decline of their faction's power is inevitable."

"Some people just want to make a quick buck and make a big profit."

"Perfect timing, the UK Championship final is yours, they can make money while also causing me some trouble, killing two birds with one stone."

"I didn't expect you to make such a big fuss, and now the situation is not optimistic."

Lu Kai nodded.

It was pretty much as he guessed.

The tendency to side with the powerful and criticize the weak is human nature, and it is also one of the fundamental laws of the capitalist world.

At this juncture, the only entities that could challenge them are gambling organizations and Joyce's political enemies, or perhaps a combination of both.

Regardless of the reason, Lu Kai was determined to make a scene and force Joyce onto the ship.

To prevent Joyce from compromising with those behind the scenes, cutting his losses, and completing a deal that involved mutual benefits.

This is counterintuitive.

People often subconsciously believe that the bigger the trouble you cause, the easier it is to be abandoned.

But the truth is quite the opposite.

When you borrow enough money, no bank will dare to let your real estate company go bankrupt.

When you have enough debt, you can even use it to threaten the whole world and make them obediently pay tariffs.

The “British Championship incident” was big enough to become a stain on Joyce’s career or even bring him down through this incident, which is why Joyce did everything he could to help Dartford.

It wasn't that Lu Kai didn't trust Joyce; it was mainly because he knew too much about Europe and America.

But Joyce didn't say there were only disadvantages and no advantages.

If things escalate, and the other party has the potential to bring him down, then he also has the potential to bring the other party down.

Once the opponent goes down, he should go up.

He, who originally needed to engage in corrupt dealings for over a decade to have a chance to advance, now has the opportunity to rise through the ranks in quick succession.

Crisis is a crisis, but it also presents both danger and opportunity.

Joyce had naturally figured this out, which is why she called.

This shows that the two sides are now in complete agreement.

They're much more reliable than law firms.

“Blackpool definitely has problems; there have been issues before. I can dig some things out of that,” Joyce said. “And the two victim teams from last year’s playoffs, I can try to get them to come forward.”

"But it will take some time. During this period, they will definitely use public opinion to put pressure on you. They have more resources in this area than I do."

"If the social impact becomes too great, the FA may be forced to punish you, which would be troublesome!"

Lu Kai nodded: "You don't need to worry too much about public opinion. They don't control the mouthpiece, and they can't generalize based on just a few articles."

"Datford has already attracted a lot of attention, and we are ready for a full-scale battle!"

After communicating, both sides felt more confident.

Joyce's final words to Lu Kai were that he must hold on.

Don't let online attacks break your defenses.

Soon, Dartford and his group arrived at the hospital.

A large number of reporters had gathered outside and blocked the door.

Lu Kai knew that if he didn't give an interview, he probably wouldn't be able to get in at all.

Fortunately, under the protection of Patton and Duff, he took the initiative to welcome this wave of interviews.

Reporter: "Lu Kai, Blackpool has said they will send you to jail. How do you respond?"

Reporter: "Marshall is seriously injured and says he'll sue you until you go bankrupt!"

Reporter: "Aren't you ashamed of your behavior? You actually assaulted a player in public?"

Reporter: "Some people think you're a member of the Mafia and say you should go play football in Italy. What do you think?"

Lu Kai gestured for everyone to be quiet, then said, "As everyone knows, the incident started when Blackpool's player Marshall, for some ulterior motive, tackled and broke the leg of our player Ashley Young."

"As for the other details, the official investigation will naturally reach a conclusion, and I don't need to say more here."

"I only want to tell everyone one thing."

"We at Dartford are a team focused on playing football."

"But remember, our nickname is the Arsenal, the Gunmen, and we will not fear any challenge."

"If you lay a hand on me, I will retaliate!"

"Datford won't fire the first shot, but we absolutely won't allow you to fire the second!"

Lu Kai and the others returned to the car, and the car drove into the hospital.

The reporters who obtained the material began to relay the news back to headquarters.

The incident is escalating further.

……

squeak!
Ashley!

Lu Kai pushed open the door and walked into the ward, holding the championship trophy.

Oh oh oh!
Ashley Young burst into tears.

They didn't give us a single chance to get emotional.

The rest of the team filed in.

The team's management, including Lu Kai and Alfred, has already learned about the specific details of the injury.

A stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Thanks to Marshall's fierce attack, Ashley Young was spared truly fatal collateral damage.

He is about to undergo surgery.

Post-operative recovery requires four months to a year.

If the force wasn't strong enough, and the break wasn't clean, severely tearing multiple ligaments in the ankle and knee, it could take more than a year.

But Ashley Young's condition will probably be cured in four or five months.

He can easily make a comeback in September or October next season.

And they might even grow much taller.

Ashley Young even said he was willing to break another leg in order to avoid having short legs.

This shows that he has already moved on.

This time, my tears were purely from being moved, right?
“They don’t want me anymore!” Ashley Young was heartbroken.

His father has just spoken with Manchester United's transfer director, who expressed regret over Ashley Young's situation, wished him a speedy recovery, and politely declined the offer, citing the team's temporary lack of need for reinforcements on the flanks.

Ashley Young's alternate email account also received congratulatory emails from several clubs.

But when he replied to the other party about whether they were interested in continuing to recruit him, they all remained silent without exception.

Several clubs have even removed him from their lists.

"Sorry, the other party has set up a message blocking feature for strangers. Please add them as a friend before sending the email."

???

In the morning, I'm still your little sweetheart.

We'll become strangers by tonight?

This blow was even greater than the damage that the broken leg inflicted on Ashley Young.

After all, the injury only cost Ashley Young a leg, but this information cost Zi Ling her love... and Ashley Young her dream!

With everyone's comforting words, Ashley Young recovered from her crying.

He turned on the TV: "Everyone, sit wherever you like... uh... Amorin, you fucking bastard, don't sit on my lap!"

Amorin jumped up in fright and apologized repeatedly, "Brother Hao, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Everyone was frightened.

Ashley Young suddenly laughed: "You've been tricked! You're sitting on your right leg, I've broken my left! Hahahaha..."

That hearty laughter had a touch of hellish humor to it.

"No, you're cursing me!" Ashley Young finally realized.

Brother Hao?

Wu Shihao?
The lame boss in Chasing the Dragon!
Will Amorin really make him crippled?
Amorin then laughed and said, "See? You fell for it! But don't worry, if you become lame, I'll protect you!"

"I'll buy you first when I become a coach!"

Ashley Young: "Sorry, I'm a member of a championship team, I don't join relegation teams."

Looking at these two lunatics, their teammates couldn't help but sigh, no wonder they became good friends, they really clicked.

Lu Kai nodded in relief and murmured a few words to himself.

Eva heard this and thought it was very well said. She quickly wrote down the part about how her teammates not only didn't treat her like a useless person, but they didn't even treat her like a human being. She thought that if Ashley Young said this profound line later, it would definitely move the audience.

"Have some sunflower seeds and watch some TV. My legs aren't very strong, so I hope you won't be able to entertain me properly," Ashley Young said, gesturing for his teammates to stay a little longer.

The television was turned on, and the news was playing:
"This station is reporting that Lu Kai stated firmly, Dartford will not fire the first shot, but they will absolutely not allow Dartford to fire the second..."

Below are many more comments from fans:
"I support Lu Kai. Dartford is just playing a defensive counter-attacking game!"

"Retaliation for what? It's an awards ceremony, and you're still assaulting someone? Lu Kai should go to jail!"

"You're talking nonsense! When did Lu Kai hit anyone? Barton was the first one to rush over, okay?!"

"Heh, what happened when the Green Gunners were surrounding Lu Kai and Marshall? Marshall got beaten so badly he wouldn't even recognize his own mother."

Do you have any evidence? No picture, no proof!

"They're all blocking it, how can anyone get a picture? But everyone's not blind, Lu Kai was waving his trophy around, what is that if not hitting someone?"

"You're talking nonsense! Couldn't it be Lu Kai showing Marshall the UK Championship Golden Boot and Player of the Year trophies?"

"The trophy deforms more each time it's lifted. How do you explain that?"

"Lu Kai slipped and fell to the ground."

"How do you explain Marshall's leg injury?"

"Marshall tried to help Lu Kai pick up the trophy, but he tripped and fell, landing right on top of it. Lu Kai can sue him and make him pay for the damaged trophy! European law is more severe for property damage than personal injury; if anyone's going to go to jail, it'll be Marshall!"

???

You know what, it's really true.

Fights are easily defined as mutual brawls and quickly resolved.

People like Marshall and Ashley Young might only lose a few thousand pounds, nothing serious.

But if something worth several thousand yuan is broken, and you insist on compensation and refuse mediation, you could easily be arrested and detained for half a year!

Morally, a person is definitely more important than wealth.

However, under capitalist law, wealth is far more valuable than people.

The two sides engaged in a fierce debate, neither side giving an inch, and the truth remained elusive.

Dartford fans are really fierce.

Even if the other side brings up statements like "Ashley Young was injured because he was fragile, causing Marshall to be misunderstood by everyone."

It could only break Ashley Young's defenses, and it didn't affect the morale of the Green Gun team.

Before the Celtics players left the hospital, Alfred issued a gag order.

Generally speaking, gag orders are more effective for large clubs, but much less so for small clubs.

But Dartford's situation is special.

Alfred implied that if everyone couldn't agree on a story and refrain from leaking any inside information, Dartford might not open the transfer window this summer.

If things are resolved perfectly, then everything will go smoothly.

It means that if you cooperate with the team, the team will cooperate with you on transfer issues.

This summer at Dartford, the number of people wanting to leave is not just a few.

If Dartford were to completely open up the market, three-quarters of their players would likely leave.

They have more than just one or two League Two and League One teams; there are quite a few Premier League teams as well.

and so……

Dartford's internal unity was completely solidified because of their desire to break apart.

Dartford FC subsequently issued a statement regarding the incident, bearing the team's official seal.

Four key points were highlighted.

First, Marshall maliciously harmed Ashley Young.

Secondly, in subsequent matches, Bullock and Hills continued to attempt to maliciously injure other Dartford players, including Luke.

Thirdly, it was Patton who took the lead at the awards ceremony. Don't ask why, just say that he saw injustice and stepped in to help.

Fourthly, head coach Alfred is responsible for everything that happened that day.

Such official statements are rare at this stage.

Therefore, it is quite easy to win people's favor.

After all, they took the initiative to tell everything, so they must have had a reason for saying it first. Otherwise, why didn't Blackpool issue a statement first?

Blackpool then followed suit with a similar statement, but since Dartford had already declared himself a prophet, even if yours is true, it will be viewed with suspicion.

For a moment, Dartford, the one who initiated the attack, actually had a slight advantage.

The argument that “if Marshall had no problems, why would Dartford have hit him” is actually becoming mainstream.

Unfortunately, Commissioner Smith took action.

After the "official" intervention, the public opinion momentum on both sides shifted.

To be precise, it's a fake official body.

BBC: "Special Report! FA Holds Closed-Door Meeting to Discuss Penalties for Dartford!"

"Leaving aside the huge fines and financial compensation to the Blackpool players involved, the Dartford incident is extremely serious and they must bear both legal responsibility in football and in society."

"The FA could potentially impose a lifetime ban on the main perpetrator, Joey Barton! He will never be allowed to play in the UK or in any FA-organized competition!"

"Alfred could face the most severe penalty of having his coaching license revoked and being banned for life!"

"As the team captain, Lu Kai is suspected of being an accomplice and could face a maximum ban of one year. But his fate doesn't end there. Dartford, which he owns, may lose its promotion qualification due to his egregious behavior, and in the worst-case scenario, it could be kicked out of the English professional league system and relegated to the fifth tier!"

"Considering Dartford's debts and investment commitments, this almost certainly means they are doomed to bankruptcy!"

"Lu Kai is very likely to be imprisoned for being unable to repay his huge debts!"

"Seriously handling this matter will likely be the key phrase in this incident!"

One article was enough to declare Blackpool the winner!

Some fickle media outlets and fans immediately expressed their support for Blackpool, believing that the bad guys had indeed been punished.

But in reality, they just didn't want to lose in the public opinion battle.

To avoid losing, you have to jump on the winner's ship before you lose first.

Lu Kai later expressed his disdain for the news in an interview with Sky Sports.

Lu Kai: "Since it was a closed-door meeting, why was the information made public? Or was this a closed-door meeting specifically for conveying information to everyone?"

"Furthermore, the entire article uses only words like 'maybe,' 'perhaps,' 'probably.' They have no factual basis and no definitive conclusions."

"This means that even within the FA, the nature of this incident remains undetermined, but some people have taken this meeting out of context. We hope the FA will investigate and clean up its internal affairs."

"However, they have indeed given us some interesting perspectives, so let's take a look at the maximum possible punishment that Blackpool, Marshall, and others might receive!"

Lu Kai took out the charts he had prepared in advance and displayed them.

Starting with their collusion with betting organizations, Blackpool could face forced dissolution in the worst-case scenario!
Even if its fans want to rebuild the team, they will only be able to start from the lowest level, the 24th league.

Even with one promotion per year, it would take twenty years to get back to the current level.

Furthermore, the club's top management is likely to face imprisonment for serious financial crimes. Marshall and others will receive the maximum penalty, the same as Barton's, a lifetime ban.

But they also face the risk of imprisonment for two to five years.

This statement caused a huge uproar.

It's not that Lu Kai fabricated charges against the other party.

Instead, Lu Kai claimed that he possessed "evidence that Marshall and Blackpool colluded with betting organizations to manipulate football!"
Anyone can say something like that.

But if there is evidence, then it's a completely different story.

The greatest appeal of competitive sports is not the star players, the champions, or the commercial value, but the unknown! It's the unexpected! It's the uncontrollable outcome!
It's disorder!
There are many reasons why fewer people watch the NBA, but the most important reason is that the league keeps writing scripts, making everything predictable.

Korean entertainment is terrible, but until its true nature is completely exposed, it still has millions of fans.

After a series of events that began with Victory, they completely stopped pretending and bluntly told you that they were the American harem.

Most people then completely severed ties with male and female celebrities in the Korean entertainment industry.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting worse and worse, and the direct reasons are, of course, political correctness and declining quality.

But digging deeper, the root cause is that Iron Man snapped his fingers and brought all the dead back to life.

This means that any superhero can be brought back to life.

But to die and be resurrected means to live, which means there is no death. Without death, all possibilities are lost, and everything becomes singular. Any twists and turns in the plot become meaningless...

On a grander scale, the known and the ordered are the ultimate goals of all things.

This is the root of many people's suffering from emo and depression because they believe that life and existence are meaningless.

Therefore, football can have unfairness, mistakes, violence, color, anything, but it absolutely cannot have manipulation!
Whenever such doubts arise, it is a life-or-death moment for that league.

They had been in Serie A before, so even 20 years later they still couldn't turn things around.

Internal psychiatry has existed and continues to exist, so apart from legitimate professionals and close friends and family, most normal people with a modicum of knowledge wouldn't touch that stuff.

This has nothing to do with whether or not one is patriotic.

Criticizing football doesn't stop people from praising the J-10 fighter jet, using domestically produced equipment, abiding by laws and regulations, and learning from the "Study the Great Nation" platform.

Therefore, whenever the topic of "manipulation" comes up in the football world, UEFA, FIFA, and major media outlets will try their best to portray it as hatred between the two clubs.

The derby may have started out purely as a game.

However, later, part of it was for commercial purposes.

Some of them did it to shield themselves from gunfire.

Therefore, when Lu Kai claimed to have evidence, Dartford had already entered the final round!
As for whether Lu Kai has any evidence or not?
……

"You seem down? You're hurt, and you need someone to warm your wounded heart!"

"Do I know you? I so wish I could answer yes, which would mean I've already experienced your strength!"

"Oh! You're a real beast!"

"Let loose here!"

"Yes, they're all a bunch of idiots. They don't understand football or how to make money!"

"Baby, let's do it one more time! I'm your best haven!"

Cardiff, a hotel.

The young model Jessica copied all the information from Marshall's phone, took a photo with the sleeping Marshall, and then left the room.

She sent the message to a special account and added, "That man is a real lunatic, he beat my butt so badly it's swollen."

"Six times in total!"

“That’s not human!”

Soon, she received a huge sum of £10,300.

Her message earned her an extra three hundred pounds.

Jessica was very satisfied: "What an excellent collaborator! I really hope we can have such great orders again in the future!"

Similar things are happening to Bullock, Hills, and several other players with whom they have a good relationship.

This was the night the UK Championship final ended!
A few days later, Blackpool Football Club issued a notice instructing these special players to keep their identities confidential and to reduce contact with strangers in the near future.

They were worried that Dartford might do something behind the scenes.

Their worries were unnecessary.

Because Dartford reacted much faster than they expected.

……

Soon after, Joyce joined forces with two teams that had been upset by Blackpool in the English Third Division promotion play-offs last year to file an appeal.

They have filed a lawsuit against Blackpool on charges including "manipulating football hooligans," "violent football," and "malicious behavior on the pitch."

Privately, Joyce showed the committee members the money transfers between Marshall and the betting companies during a senior internal meeting of the FA.

In addition to receiving a share of the illicit funds from Blackpool, he also had direct transactions with gambling organizations, bypassing Blackpool, the middleman who profited from the difference.

Commissioner Smith nearly fainted from anger!
I've said it many times: I'm willing to earn less money, safety is the most important thing!

Why do these idiots always take such big risks and break the rules?

Just to earn a few tens of thousands more pounds?
What Commissioner Smith didn't know was that tens of thousands of pounds would be enough for a player like Marshall to squander for quite some time.

People who make money through illegal means have no credibility.

They can earn two jobs, definitely not just one.

Because for individuals like them, this is not a long-term career; they might end up in jail someday, so they definitely want to take the opportunity to make as much money as possible.

But for Commissioner Smith, this is a business that is profitable in the long run. He can earn less, but as long as the channel exists, he can keep taking a cut.

Their different stances and different situations inevitably lead to different levels of emphasis on security.

This is also a point that many police and gangster films fail to explain clearly: why criminals can always be easily exposed through small details.

Ultimately, it comes down to unequal distribution.

If Commissioner Smith were to share his million-pound share of earnings with Marshall and his colleagues, they would naturally realize that security is more important than earning an extra twenty or thirty thousand pounds.

The Football Association handled the matter discreetly internally.

Commissioner Smith stepped down early.

Joyce, in addition to her role as an executive committee member, was put in charge of some offices within the personnel and marketing departments previously headed by Committee Member Smith.

If being an executive committee member was Joyce's entire career before, then...

From that moment on, he began to resemble the chairman of the English Football Association!
The chances are very small, even smaller than the chances of progressing from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment.

But probability and no probability are two completely different qualities.

Joyce defied fate and became increasingly bound to the Green Gun.

He had previously been somewhat resistant to this kind of binding, because he sensed that Lu Kai's side was "deliberately doing it."

But after this battle, he changed his mind a bit.

Perhaps Green Gun was the benefactor in his political career?

Without Green Gun, he would never dare to challenge Smith.

Without challenges, how can there be great victories and substantial profits?

Find wealth in danger!
Power comes from the barrel of a gun!

The great man was right!

So this "gun" is the same gun as the green gun!

Of course, Joyce's future is not optimistic, as he has been labeled as unstable by some people and is destined to be ostracized by some committee members.

And Green Gun, who is deeply tied to him, will probably not have a smooth future either.

While it's unlikely that organized crime will directly cripple players again, sophisticated tactics that Dartford didn't encounter before, such as biased refereeing, obstruction, inconsistent rulings, and targeted match scheduling, may appear one by one in the future.

Green Guns won this battle.

But what about the next battle?

Of course, these are all political maneuverings, which occur long before the general public is aware of them.

While the matter may seem settled for Joyce and Lu Kai, the progress at the public level is still largely a matter of mutual negotiation.

Overnight, the wind direction changed drastically.

The latest episode of "My Love Diary in Asen Green" has premiered.

Platforms that were previously banned from broadcasting for various reasons have suddenly given the green light. It wasn't that it couldn't be broadcast before, but only a limited number of channels allowed it.

But now, many platforms are actively requesting to broadcast the content, lining up to give money.

The different levels of public opinion led to a surge in popularity after the program aired.

This episode began with a cross-cutting technique.

First, Ashley Young recounts his experience in the hospital: "Ever since my leg was broken, my family has rarely mentioned my leg in front of me."

Then the scene switches to Lu Kai being pulled back by his teammates after he knocks Marshall down on the court.

Ashley Young: "Only teammates like Lu Kai and Amorin took me to play football and even made me the goalkeeper."

The scene then cuts to Lu Kai punching Bullock and kicking Hills on the field before being sent off with a red card.

Ashley Young said with a laugh, "They didn't treat me like a cripple, they didn't even treat me like a human being!"

In the video, Lu Kai is seen repeatedly raising trophies in a circle of teammates, performing a doubles match with sticks!
At the end of the film, Eva's voiceover poses a thought-provoking question: "If you repay evil with kindness, how will you repay kindness?"

"Repay evil with justice, and repay kindness with kindness!"

"What crime is there in using violence to suppress violence?"

"At first, people thought he was the spear of revenge."

"But in truth, he is the lance of judgment from heaven and justice!"

"If this weren't football, this would be Gotham City."

"You can call him Lu Kai, or you can call him Bruce!"

The allusion is even used twice here.

Batman's name is Bruce Wayne.

Eva changed R to L, which is "Bruce".

Meanwhile, Bruce Lee is the English name that Europeans and Americans are familiar with.

This also alludes to Lu Kai being Bruce Lee.

It just goes to show that when foreigners learn Chinese puns and homophones, the news becomes much more interesting.

This video has been cited by various media outlets, especially the English media, as if they had been given a mission by their master.

Sky Sports: "The Batman of football! The British Bluce! I would call Lu Kai the number one person against violence in football!"

The Times: "Violence for violence is a crime even if one is innocent! If opposing football hooligans is a crime, we're willing to go with Lu to meet Satan!"

Les Echos: "The gun of judgment, the verdict of justice! In the name of glory, beat the football hooligans!"

The caption showed a picture of Lu Kaili hitting Marshall's calves with a stick.

Fans still managed to capture the scene of Lu Kai hitting someone.

But these days are different.

It was released a few days ago; that's evidence.

Released today, this is proof!

Witness Lu Kai's courageous act and righteous deed!
The magic of the world was fully displayed at this moment.

But this is neither the first nor the last time in the Western world.

The most recent examples for everyone were probably Trump's "I'm a stock market guru in the White House" and India's "You shot down my Rafale fighter jet, and I'll celebrate for ten days straight."

However, those who are observant should have already noticed.

The "keyword" in this incident has been shifted to "football hooligans".

It has absolutely no connection with betting, match-fixing, score manipulation, or internal sabotage within a team.

Several prominent figures subsequently expressed their views on the issue of football hooligans.

Ferguson: "Football hooliganism has plagued English football for years, and Blackpool was one of the root causes. Pulling out this thorn is a great achievement. Hats off to Luca and the heroes of Dartford!"

Wenger: "I will only admit today that Dartford are the Green Guns! They have made a significant contribution to world football! This is a victory for football!"

Beckham: "Ashley Young may be gone, but he will live on in our hearts! He was a whistleblower against football hooligans in England!"

Ashley Young: Bone whistle?

Liverpool's official statement: "From this day forward, football hooligans can no longer be synonymous with English football, because we have 'land' ahead of us!"

Chelsea: "Datford taught people the difference between toughness and football hooligans. Hats off to the Green Gunners!"

Tottenham: "Tonight, Dartford were the undisputed kings of London!"

Real Madrid's official statement: "A major event is coming for English football, with football hooligans facing the harshest crackdown, which benefits every team that goes to play in England!"

Bayern: "English football is remarkable for being able to face its own shortcomings! We German football should also face the problem of increasingly expensive players, set a maximum transfer fee, and create favorable conditions for players to join Bayern."

Inter Milan: "The core of the Ashley Young leg-breaking incident wasn't football hooliganism, it was match-fixing! This kind of thing happens in Italy too! I don't know why everyone's turning a blind eye! Inter Milan is a victim just like Dartford!"

Juventus: "Inter Milan is talking nonsense, everyone ignore them, Italian football is pure and innocent!"

AC Milan: "We dare not say that Italian football has no problems at all, but in our title-winning season, Italian football was fair, just, and transparent!"

Sporting Lisbon: "It's a pity that Ashley Young's future is ruined, but Manchester United would consider signing our player Chris if they want to!"

Barcelona: "England's self-examination and rectification of football hooliganism is a testament to the superiority of its system! Lu Kai escaped legal punishment, cloaked in the robes of justice, but in reality, he's nothing but a scoundrel!"

Amidst the unanimous condemnation of football hooligans, a few strange news items also emerged.

Among them, the Barcelona-affiliated media questioned Lu Kai's character.

Mundo Deportivo: "Why is a player whose season is over due to a serious injury allowed to assault someone? People are always being deceived by Lu Kai, time and time again!"

Daily Sport: "Lu Kai faked an injury to gain sympathy; his words are not to be trusted! Blackpool may deserve to die, but Dartford is far from innocent!"

These two media outlets were not making baseless accusations.

They said this because they had received solid "insider information".

After Commissioner Smith resigned in disgrace, his followers scattered like leaves in the wind, with many losing their businesses and families.

Naturally, this led to a desire for revenge.

Joyce held a high position of power and influence, making retaliation impossible.

Lu Kai has quite a few "loopholes".

The most obvious example is his swift return to action just before the EFL Cup final.

He was supposed to be out for the rest of the season, how come he recovered in just twenty days?
No matter how good a player's stats are, it's not necessarily a bad thing, because there will always be times when their stats are bad.

But if a player is mythologized, then he will truly be invincible.

Barcelona excels at creating idols, and naturally, they are also adept at dismantling those idol-creating schemes.

They could see through Lu Kai's tricks at a glance.

However, Manchester United and Manchester City soon issued a joint statement with Manchester First Hospital, confirming that Lu Kai's injury was not fabricated.

The condition is real and there is no exaggeration whatsoever.

As for why Lu Kai was able to make a comeback, relevant experts have also made some speculations. They believe that, on the one hand, yellow people, or more precisely Chinese people, have extraordinary physical gifts and possess miraculous recovery factors that Europeans do not have, which is an innate racial advantage.

Yes, the superiority or inferiority of a race can change so easily.

Manchester United even stated that for this reason, they have started to pay attention to Chinese players and have not ruled out the possibility of signing them.

The players currently on the watch list include dozens of young players such as Dong Fangzhuo.

In addition, experts believe that Lu Kai was definitely not fully recovered when he played in the EFL Cup match, and that he was playing with an injury for the team.

Even at the cost of my own health and potential, I strive to create a better future for my teammates.

Even though Dartford was dismantled after winning that championship, Lu Kai still had no regrets!
This is what we call team spirit!
Upon hearing this, many England fans burst into tears!
Manchester First Hospital issued this statement because Lu Kai had been examined there.

Both Manchester City teams happened to have witnesses present.

In addition, both Manchester City teams have their own team doctors, so if even the tests are wrong, then they will probably have to switch hospitals.

Furthermore, despite the internal turmoil within England, outsiders are trying to smear the British Empire.

Manchester would be the first to object!

The sky over Manchester is the sky over England; it's a sky that only tolerates bird droppings, not sand!

Of course, Manchester United may be acting out of a sense of responsibility as England's premier club.

Manchester City, well, they have something to gain, more or less.

They have their eyes on several players in Dartford.

In response, Lu Kai said, "Welcome to be slaughtered...please come, Green Gun will treat you well and will never rip you off."

Following the Manchester clubs' rebuttal, Lu Kai also gave an interview to The Sun, in which he recited a poem: "I have a dream."

"I dream that one day, football will truly live up to its creed, where everyone who loves football is equal!"

"I dream that one day, along the Thames, big clubs and small clubs will be able to sit together and share their brotherhood."

"I dream that one day, even the lower leagues, where justice is nowhere to be found and oppression is rampant, will become an oasis free of football hooligans."

"I dream that one day my twenty-odd players will be playing in a club and league where they will be judged not by the color of their skin or nationality, but by the quality of their character and their skill."

"It is precisely because of this belief that I fight with injuries, that I return to the field with injuries, and that I fight with injuries."

"If football is to become a great sport, this dream must come true!"

"Make football great again!"

"MFGA!"

Cheers, applause, flowers!

Lu Kai became a beacon of hope for English football.

Dartford FC even launched a special green hat with the "MFGA" logo for sale, and it sold out in minutes no matter how many times it was restocked, becoming a hit across the UK!
However, Lu Kai never wears it.

He stated that he would not wear this hat until his dream was achieved!
If hell is not empty, then I will not be green!
What unwavering faith!

Of course, behind every moment of glory lies an equally intense pain.

Blackpool is experiencing the darkest moment in the club's history.

Eight players, including Marshall, Bullock, and Hills, along with twelve staff members including the head assistant coach, were sentenced to bans ranging from one to five years and fined heavily for "football hooliganism."

Blackpool fared even worse, having not only been fined a huge sum but also having to pay Dartford and the two promotion play-off clubs for losses incurred last year.

The team owner received the maximum penalty, was directly blacklisted by the FA, had the team's assets frozen, and must sell the team within a specified period, thus receiving the same treatment as future Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

Even Blackpool local fans are disgusted by the team's actions, turning from supporters into staunchest critics.

It seems that in this way, they never miss out.

Because Blackpool is the one who is wrong.

Meanwhile, Blackpool were expelled from the professional league system and relegated to the fifth tier.

So the FA's closed-door meeting was for them!
But considering their notoriety, this is very likely not their final destination.

They will likely disband, atoning for their mistakes with their deaths. Then, the local fans will rebuild a new Blackpool team, starting from a lower-level competition, and return to the public eye with a fresh look.

A single UK Championship final led to the demise of a century-old club.

This truly proves the saying, "If you break my wings, I'll destroy your paradise."

This became one of the most far-reaching stadium clashes in the history of English football.

Marshall kicked his own club to its knees.

He didn't just break Ashley Young's leg; he broke Blackpool's more than 100-year history!

Lu Kai wasn't targeting Marshall; he was targeting a century-old bad habit in English football.

Afterwards, Dartford officially announced that Luca's two twisted and deformed "God Cups" would be permanently placed in the Pond Stadium convenience store for free display.

Green Gun Tea Girl also launched a synchronized promotional slogan: One cup to justice, one cup to freedom!

The former was dedicated to Lu Kai.

The latter is dedicated to Ashley Young.

In recognition of their great contributions to the fight against English football hooligans!
Yours sincerely, with a salute!
