Volume 1: When Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 110: Speak up for Justice.
The Liverpool team took a flight back to Liverpool on the night of the game. On the one hand, Martin O'Neill's arrangement is to save time and prevent the team from spending too much time on the road, which will affect the players' physical fitness and condition. On the other hand, considering that Turkey is a place of right and wrong, it is safer to leave as soon as possible. Who knows what the Besiktas fans who lost the ball will do. They dared to come outside the hotel to cause trouble the day before the game. Who can guarantee that they won't do something even more outrageous after losing the game?
After returning to England, the Liverpool players dispersed on the spot at the airport and everyone went back to their homes.
I will come to participate in the team's training early tomorrow morning.
So no one knows what happened on the streets of Istanbul this night.
But after one night, it was different.
When Liverpool's players woke up from their sweet dreams, they found that the world had changed. Yesterday's victory over Besiktas in the away game and scoring two away goals had become a thing of the past. Although there were reports, everyone's The focus is obviously no longer on this.
Because there is something more exciting than this~
“…
Last night, after Liverpool's away game against Besiktas, a heartbreaking and shocking tragedy occurred on the streets of Istanbul! Liverpool football fans and Besiktas football fans had a fight in the street. As a result, a Liverpool football fan was unfortunately killed.
Chen Yingxiong was having breakfast when he suddenly heard this paragraph on the TV news. He was stunned and raised his head. Cabrera next to him also stopped what he was doing. For a moment, he was originally in the restaurant. The crunching sounds of cutlery, forks and porcelain plates all disappeared.
Chen Yingxiong stared at the TV screen without blinking.
The screen was showing footage taken by reporters at the scene of the fight yesterday.
The fight is no longer visible in the picture, but looking at the shocking bloodstains on the ground can still make people realize how fierce the conflict that happened here yesterday was. "The injured England football player's name is Phil, Gibbs..." …”
The TV media were very efficient and had already obtained Gibbs's photo.
When the photo appeared on the screen, Chen Yingxiong and Cabrera were stunned. Isn't this the football player they hitched a ride with that time?
The two people looked at each other, and both saw doubts and affirmations in each other's eyes. Sure, of course, means - we are all sure that this Phil Gibbs is the Phil Gibbs who brought them along.
The question is... why is it him?
In fact, the two people's impression of this football player is limited to the fact that these three people have helped them. There is no other impression, and they are not familiar with this football player.
But in this matter, Phil Gibbs is obviously the person Chen Yingxiong is most familiar with. He suddenly felt that this matter had something to do with him!
"...Currently, the football player is still in the hospital and is in a coma. It is said that the hospital has issued a critical illness notice. He was stabbed twenty times and lost too much blood. Two of the stabs were just a little short of his heart. …”
Chen Yingxiong stood up suddenly, and Cabrera looked up at him.
"I'm going to make a call." Chen Yingxiong said to Cabrera, and then walked out of the restaurant.

Phil Gibbs was just one of 60 million Britons until last night, but now he has become a household name across the country.
This morning not only TV media, but also online and print media reported on this matter.
In fact, some media reported this incident last night, but at that time, no one knew who the injured golfer was.
Now they have obtained the player's name and photo.
Cabrera continued to watch the television, listening to the newscaster describing yesterday's bloody scene in the streets of Istanbul.
Chen Yingxiong called his agent Dracula outside.
"...Can you take the time to go to Turkey? Can you help me visit the ball player? Also, can you save the person?"
After Chen Yingxiong explained the situation, he made a request to Dracula.
Dracula was helpless: "Hero, I have said it many times, I am not God, I am not good at saving lives and healing the wounded..." "Tsk." "But we can provide other help, such as visiting him, or condemning the murderer. "..." "Damn, we're not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" Chen Yingxiong thought for a while, and there seemed to be nothing else he could do.
"Forget it, let's visit first, and also pay attention to the progress of the condition. If you have any news, let me know." After Chen Yingxiong hung up the phone, he returned to the restaurant. The news on the TV about the assassination of the Liverpool football player has ended.
But Cabrera blew Chen Yingxiong away with just one sentence.
"Turkish media accused Liverpool hooligans of provoking trouble. They called Phil Gibbs a "football hooligan." "Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment. He thought he heard wrongly.
"What?"
"They said Phil Gibbs was a 'football hooligan,'" he said. ,, Cabrera repeated.
"Fuck his whole family! They, Turkey, are a bunch of football hooligans!" Chen Yingxiong yelled.
Although he doesn't know Phil and Gibbs well enough. But for that enthusiastic, cheerful and lively young man, he didn't believe that he would be a football hooligan. His other two companions don't look like football hooligans, they are just like any ordinary young people who love football.
Chen Yingxiong did not think that such a person would be a football hooligan. In particular, they waited for him outside the stadium and exchanged the luggage that he had not had time to take away with him. This made Chen Yingxiong believe that Phil Gibbs might not be a moral saint, but he was definitely not a villain.
Originally, he just felt that this incident was really unlucky for Phil Gibbs and he was very sorry. He wanted to help this football player who had helped him before, which would be regarded as repaying a favor. As a human being, you must repay kindness.
But now he has changed his mind.
Of course I want to help, but it’s not just that.
Turkish media, you insulted my ball, I will let you know the consequences of doing so!

After last night, the Turkish media overwhelmingly accused the Liverpool fans, thinking that it was the Liverpool fans who started the attack. They are a bunch of damn football hooligans! Phil Gibbs became the leader of this football hooligan gang in the writings and mouths of the Turkish media, and he was stabbed twenty times for his own fault.
Turkish media called for severe punishment of English football hooligans and the establishment of a blacklist, and all English football players who have entered the blacklist will be refused entry. They also want Besiktas to claim compensation from Liverpool. In addition, the most cruel thing is that they asked UEFA to intervene. It would be better to disqualify Liverpool Club for severely punishing the Liverpool Club for lax discipline of the opponent's players, allowing Besiktas to directly advance to the quarterfinals...
This is purely whimsical. However, the Turkish media are still working tirelessly to promote this reckless incident, because as long as the Liverpool football hooligans can be caught in the mind of the troublemakers, the Turkish people who really know that UEFA and the English teams have never been deal with...
As long as they can create enough excuses, maybe UEFA will really consider taking action against Liverpool? In that case, it will no longer be a dream for Besiktas to advance to the quarterfinals.
Originally, after losing to Liverpool 1:2 at home, the Turkish media felt that Besiktas had no chance of advancing, but now, hope is rekindled in their hearts!
So regardless of whether there is evidence or not, the football hooligans who must kill Liverpool's fans are the ones who made them move first, and they were the ones who provoked them first...
Due to the lack of evidence and testimony from the other side, the English media remained silent in the face of the accusations made by the Turkish media. They did not know whether Phil Gibbs was really the leader of football hooligans, nor did they know what happened at that time. What happened? Was it really the Liverpool people who made the first move and made the first provocation?
So on the first day, the English media were only concerned about Phil Gibbs' injury. Other than that, not much was said about the incident itself and the process.
The silence of the English media was interpreted by the Turkish media to mean that they also believed that the Liverpool players were football hooligans, so they pursued this issue like chicken blood, as if they wanted to kill Phil and Gibbs as football hooligans. It's like the hat has been fastened.
At this time, the first person to protest from England was Chen Yingxiong.
"I know this injured footballer, his name is Phil Gibbs. I once took a ride with him when I almost missed the match against Newcastle. He helped me catch up with the league match against Newcastle. Also with him are two of his friends, whose names I also know. I can prove that Phil Gibbs is definitely not a football hooligan as the Turkish media claims!" In an interview with reporters, Chen Yingxiong spoke sternly Defend your ball mi.
"But everything I experienced in Turkey taught me what a real "football hooligan" is!" The Besiktas fans insulted me in the stands, insulted my family, insulted my country and insulted the whole of Liverpool. The night before our game, some Besiktas football fans even came to make trouble below our hotel in an attempt to interfere with our normal rest! I think this is a truly typical football hooligan! I would like to ask those Besiktas fans, have you washed away the smell of shit? Hope you like it! "
Chen Yingxiong's speech caused an uproar in the media. No one expected that Chen Yingxiong would stand up for an ordinary football player and become the enemy of the entire Turkish media.
Putting aside whether he really knew this guy named Phil, Gibbs' football player said that other Liverpool players had remained silent in front of this matter. Because this matter is really sensitive, it's okay to say that Phil Gibbs is not a football hooligan. If he is really a football hooligan...then they didn't say a word, which may cause more trouble in the future.
But Chen Yingxiong stood up bravely.
"I guarantee on my honor that Phil Gibbs is definitely not a football hooligan! There is absolutely no way he would provoke and insult the Besiktas football fans first, but I am very clear about the virtues of Turkish football fans. Said they were "football hooligans,?" I'm sorry I insulted the word "football hooligan!" (To be continued!.
