Because this incident was the biggest incident in the second round of the League Cup. Millwall fans were suspected of racial discrimination, and Su Yun, the first Chinese head coach in the English professional league in history, was seriously provocative during the game.
Millwall fans.
Of course, if it were just that, it wouldn't be so sensational.
Su Yun criticized Millwall after the game. He even said that Millwall fans are all scum, and he wanted to spread the word widely.
All kinds of things add up and things become big.
Within a short period of time after the game, everyone in English football knew about it.
Although the Football Association of England has been stricter against racial discrimination, racial discrimination has never stopped on the pitch. Players and fans will get involved. However, it is rare to cause such a big disturbance.
All newspapers are reporting on this incident.
Some people blame Millwall fans, while others blame Su Yun.
Anyway, it was quite fun.
Su Yun, a head coach from the English League Three, became famous in an instant. Everyone in English football knew that there was a head coach from China in the English League Three.
At first it was just a matter in English football.
But things soon changed. The Chinese Embassy in the UK protested.
Of course, in life, all kinds of discrimination are not uncommon. But because it is so common, and one or two personal matters, the Chinese Embassy has no time to pay attention to it. But this time is different, this time the matter is too big.
It was a game that was broadcast across the UK, and Millwall fans did something racist.
Therefore, the Chinese Embassy in the UK responded quickly.
After the protest letter from the Chinese Embassy arrived, things changed drastically. This small incident was no longer just a matter in the football stadium. After the Chinese Embassy protest, many Chinese groups soon also protested
.
China is already the most populous country in the world, and Chinese people are distributed all over the world. There are also many Chinese people in the UK. There are people from all walks of life among them, and they even have a relatively high social status in the UK.
Therefore, the power of the Chinese cannot be underestimated.
Now they are protesting. Simple things are getting bigger and even turning into political issues.
The scope of things is getting wider and wider.
The Football Association did not think of this. Not even the London City Council thought of it. Because now all the letters of protest have come to the London City Hall, as well as Newham City Hall.

"Xiao Zheng, why are you so free today?"
In just one day, things have turned upside down. Su Yun has been avoiding reporters for the past few days. Things have become very big, and Su Yun doesn't want to see them at this time.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Yuan came to see Su Yun.
"You have some time. Brother Su, you have become famous recently. All the newspapers are about the match between Dagenham and Millwall."
"Bullshit!" Su Yun patted Zheng Yuan. "This is not a good thing."
"Why isn't it a good thing?" Zheng Yuan said sternly: "Brother Su, no one in the British football world knows you now. This is a good thing."
Su Yun smiled bitterly.
Zheng Yuan, this kid is really capable.
What a good thing.
"By the way, Brother Su. I'm looking for you today to ask if you have any familiar journalist friends in China."
"Yes, yes, how..."
Su Yun didn't understand what Zheng Yuan meant. Zheng Yuan is a student at London Business School and has not graduated yet. And even if he graduates, he has nothing to do with the journalist industry.
"Brother Su, then tell me your friend's contact information. People in China should also know about this matter."
Su Yun frowned.
"Xiao Zheng, is this necessary?"
Zheng Yuan smiled. He rolled his eyes and said with certainty: "Brother Su, listen to me. You are the first Chinese head coach in the European Football Professional League, and you should let the Chinese fans know. Brother Su, you first
Listen to me." Zheng Yuan saw that Su Yun was about to interrupt, so he asked him to wait.
"Famous, this thing is very important. Brother Su, few people in Chinese football know about you now. Chinese fans don't know you even more. But once this matter comes to China, you will be immediately known by everyone.
Known to Chinese fans."
Zheng Yuan became more and more excited as he talked. "Once you become famous in Chinese football, whether you return to Chinese football or continue to play in Europe, you will become a banner of Chinese football. Brother Su, you can't miss this opportunity."
ah."
Su Yun was dumbfounded as he watched Zheng Yuan talking endlessly.
Indeed, Su Yun also longs to become famous.
But it's not this kind of fame. It feels like celebrity hype.
Seeing Su Yun shaking his head, Zheng Yuan was very anxious. "Brother Su, if you have achievements but don't tell them, how will others know. The smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. That's the same old thing. Now it's the smell of wine without advertising, who would know
."
"You kid learned this kind of stuff every day in business school."
Su Yun asked with a smile, "Am I just a commodity?"
"Of course." Zheng Yuan replied seriously. "Brother Su, what do you think? Now is a commodity society, and even the education industry has been marketized. Teachers sell their knowledge, and students buy the teacher's knowledge. Where are those players?
One is not a commodity.”
This was the first time Su Yun heard such words.
"Brother Su, think about it. Transferring players, earning wages, and filming advertisements are not commodities. You are no exception."
Zheng Yuan tried his best to persuade Su Yun.
"When you become the flag of Chinese football, you will become the idol of thousands of fans in China. By then, both domestic manufacturers and international brands will look for you for the Chinese market."
"Xiao Zheng, I've heard of players filming commercials. As a coach, why should I film commercials?"
The football industry in China is not too developed yet. But the football industry in the UK is very developed. Culture and sports are not separated, which is very obvious in the UK. Football stars and entertainment stars influence each other.
But even so, Su Yun has never heard of the coach filming any commercials in the UK.
"No, this is just your idea, Brother Su. Advertising agencies never care whether the target is a coach or a player. Their requirement is that they are famous enough and consistent with their product image. As long as your reputation reaches a certain level, Brother Su.
, they don’t care if you are a coach or a player.”
Zheng Yuan said a lot.
But Su Yun always felt that what Zheng Yuan said was a myth. Su Yun had never thought about filming any commercials in the future.
Zheng Yuan saw that Su Yun was still hesitating, so he continued: "Okay, Brother Su. Even if we don't talk about filming commercials, isn't your ideal to coach the Chinese national team in the future?"
Su Yun nodded.
This is indeed Su Yun's biggest dream. Su Yun just wants to lead the Chinese national team to the World Cup.
"Then why no one invites you now. That's because you are not qualified enough, and more importantly, you are not famous enough. Even if you are not qualified enough and you are young, if you are now coaching a Premier League club, do you think the door to the national team will be open to you? Open to you. If your current reputation can overshadow all domestic coaches, then they will naturally invite you."
Zheng Yuan, this kid, is very good at persuading people.
Even Su Yun started to feel excited.
"Brother Su, fame has many benefits. When you go to any club, as long as you are famous enough, you can suppress those players. The same is true in China. The Chinese people believe in this kind of fame. Now it is you who are gradually cultivating your own fame. when."
"Oh, Brother Su. Leave this matter to me and your reporter friends. You don't have to worry about it."
Zheng Yuan is really eager to try.
In order to wait for this day, he had been observing Su Yun for a year. Finally, he waited for such a good opportunity.
