In 20 years, there has been no large-scale violent conflict between football hooligans in England. But on August 25, 2009, it all came to an abrupt end. In the second round of the League Cup, a pair of sworn rivals West Ham United and Millwall in London

They met. During the game, football hooligans rushed into the field from time to time, and large-scale fights also occurred in the area around the stadium, resulting in one person being stabbed.

During the 2010 World Cup, England's 1-4 defeat by Germany almost led to large-scale violent conflicts. An English football hooligan lit a German flag in Leicester Square, and an ice cream shop was vandalized by football hooligans.

German fans were spotted in the crowd by English football hooligans, but no casualties were caused.

On December 1, 2010, Aston Villa and Birmingham City met in the League Cup. A total of fourteen people were injured in the violent conflict. At this time, less than 24 hours before the vote for England's bid to host the 2018 World Cup, football hooligans threatened

Fireworks are thrown in the stadium. Football hooliganism in England is gradually showing a trend of developing towards younger ages.

Trend. A total of 103 football hooligan activities involving minors occurred in the 2009-10 season, while the number last season was only 38. Former football hooligan Cass Pennant believes that the British economic recession has caused unemployment

Rising rates, poverty and youth dissatisfaction with society are the main reasons for the rebound in football hooliganism.

And this Caspenan is also a legend. He even wrote an autobiography, specifically describing his experience as a football hooligan. He was quite popular in the UK. He was once called the King of Hooligans, and was even called

It was made into a movie, but the new generation of football hooligans have a very general view of him. They think this man's methods are outdated and what they need is smarter and more organized fighting.

The British football hooligans had already started planning before this European Cup, otherwise they would not have started a scuffle with the local gangsters in Marseille before the game started. This was obviously to highlight their position, as if to tell the whole world

We are still the most powerful football hooligans in Europe. This can be seen from another incident, because in Lille, France, England and Wales fans also clashed with Russian fans at almost the same time.

This was also the cause of the fight. Originally, the British football hooligans were dissatisfied and dissatisfied. They happened to meet Russia and they naturally wanted to show off, but in the end they were taught a lesson by the more terrifying Russian fans. This is also a normal phenomenon, because

Russian football hooligans are actually more

They were more prepared, and they hoped to show their presence through this European Cup, so something like this happened. But what was unexpected was that more than 3,000 English fans were beaten by about 300 people.

This is also a rarely seen situation.

However, UEFA responded very quickly to this matter. They issued a fine the next day. The Russian Football Association was fined 150,000 euros and "suspended expulsion from the European Championship" (suspended).

issued a statement stating that both teams should be disqualified if violence breaks out again.

Zhang Wei also answered reporters' questions at the press conference before the game against Wales, "I don't think it was a confrontation between fans from two countries. It was simply a common fight between hooligans. If one side loses, it will be over immediately."

Pretending to be pitiful, one side will immediately show off its power after winning the battle. Who knows who will win next time? Maybe things will turn out differently, so there is no need to think too much at all, and you can even ignore them.

"

"So you think football hooligans are responsible?"

Zhang Wei shook his head lightly, "The so-called football hooligan is just a discriminatory term. Where are there no hooligans in this world? Why can we see people who behave like this in other stadiums but not connected to this sport, like ours?"

I have never heard of basketball hooligans or hockey hooligans. Maybe such people are more popular in football matches.

There are many, but in fact it is the same. After watching football, many people also go to other sports games. They will make trouble wherever they go, because their uneasy hearts will always be disturbed for various reasons. I am

I don’t comment on their behavior because I occasionally have such impulses, but I can control them.”

There was laughter below, and then a new question was raised: "What do you think about the next game against Wales?"
