In the minds of the reporters, although the game is ups and downs and exciting, the post-match press conference is the real focus. Regarding the fan riots that occurred in the middle of the game, the reporters are eager to hear the opinions of the head coaches on both sides.

So not long after the game ended, the reporters finished the interview in the mixed zone, gathered at the press conference, waiting for the head coaches of both sides to come out.

Tang En was the first to come out, and the one who followed was head coach Millwall, dejected Alan McClary. According to common sense, the head coaches of both sides should shake hands, but Tang En sat in his position with his hands in his pockets, and did not mean to shake hands with the other head coach. McClary stood on the stage for a moment, and sat in his position awkwardly.

The host just announced that the press conference had officially begun, and the reporters raised their hands.

What reporters are most concerned about is obviously not the amazing score of 7:1. Any score on the football field is possible. 7:1 has not exceeded the range of the earth and reached Mars. The story of this game that is the most publicity value and gimmick and attracts the most public attention takes place in the stands. The extremely insulting singing of Millwall fans and the subsequent riots of fans on both sides caused by the reporters are the targets of the questions asked by reporters.

Regarding these questions, Don Edward first snatched the microphone. He finished what he should say earlier, and then left here and returned to Nottingham. He didn't want to sit with the person next to him for too long.

"I understand you all want to know about what happened in the stands, but I don't want to mention it anymore. I suggest you ask the chairman of Millwall's club and the head coach around me, they should know the best who their supporters are. "This directly puts almost all Millwalls on the opposite side of Donn, but he doesn't care, and he doesn't rely on pleasing opponent fans to win. "I just want to say one thing, I'm very satisfied with my players' performance in the second half, and they deserve this victory."

A reporter saw that Tang En seemed to be leaving. He quickly asked: "Mr. Tang En! Your team's performance in the first half and second half is different. What did you say to them during the break? Are there any special arrangements?"

Tang En stared at the reporter who asked the question and said: "I tell my players that if they are angry at the singing of Millwall fans, use goals to block their mouths. Sing once, score a goal. Sing once, score a goal. Until they dare not speak again. I'm glad my players did this."

Then he ignored the commotion caused by these words and placed the microphone on the table. Then he got up and left.

The host reminded him: "Sir, the press conference is not over yet..."

"That's his is not over yet." Done pointed at McClary, "I have nothing to say, Mr. Host. Everyone!" He said loudly to the reporter, "If you have any questions, just ask Mr. Alan McClary!"

After saying that, he turned around and stepped down.

The depressed McClary muttered behind her back: "I have never seen such a decent person..."

Tang En stopped halfway because of this sentence. He turned around and looked at McClary with his eyes as fierce as if he wanted to eat people. “Decoration? Mr. Alan McClary…” He spoke slowly. He pronounced clearly and said word by word. “There is one thing that I can confirm. My demeanor must be billions of times better than you and your supporters in the stands!”

After saying that, he no longer cared about how the excited journalists called his name, and left the small press room without looking back.

Nottingham Forest played Millwall 7:1 away.    Successfully advanced to the semi-finals.       There were not much reports about this score. Instead, the fan riots in the stands made the front pages of various British media after the game.

After the media contacted Nottingham Forest and Millwall at the end of last season, the football hooligan fight caused the death of an innocent child, bringing such a title to the newspaper: The return of football hooligan! The return of football violence!

That kind of suppressed excitement came to life on the paper.

In fact, the media's attitude starts with the disaster fourteen years ago.

Since the Heathborg tragedy, British Prime Minister Mrs. Thatcher, who has been unhappy with football, has finally found an excuse to rectify this "violent sport". She entrusted Justice Taylor to conduct a detailed independent investigation, and launched two versions of the "Taylor Investigation Report" in response to the football environment in the UK at that time in half a year.

In this famous report, Judge Taylor made various suggestions based on the sport of football and the entire British society. However, the British government only adopted a few of them: such as comprehensive renovation of the stadium, changing all seats into seats, and demolishing the wall.

In 1973, the British government established a stadium safety license review and issuance agency. Those stadiums that do not meet the safety conditions will not be issued. But the safety license at the Heathborough Stadium where the tragedy occurred has expired for ten years! According to the 10-year expiration of the Hillsborough Stadium. The third and fourth sections of the stadium’s west stands can accommodate 2,200 people. But its actual maximum capacity is less than 1,700 people. When the tragedy occurred, more than 3,000 fans rushed into these two communities from an underground passage, directly leading to the disaster of crowds and trampling.

Although, subjectively, Mrs. Thatcher's actions were to suppress the sport that made her disgusted, it did objectively promote the reform of England's football. Nowadays, people can sit in plastic seats, have dedicated emergency evacuation passages, and watch the football in all newly renovated stadiums, all thanks to the Taylor Report and Thatcher's government.

The "Taylor Report" also laid the foundation for the establishment of the Premier League in terms of security and hardware facilities. The Premier League, which has been brewing for a long time in 1992, made its grand debut. It immediately attracted the attention of fans around the world with its wonderful games. Under the operation of highly market-oriented and commercialization, the Premier League is getting more and more exciting year by year. It seems that English football has returned to their former glory years, and even the stubborn disease of football hooligans seems to have gradually disappeared from the top league in England.

In fact, on the issue of football hooligans, it is not only the fans who should bear the responsibility and atone for those tragedies, but also the British government and the media.

In the UK, perhaps 99% of fans are innocent, but as long as one percent of football hooligans exist, others will be in trouble. There is a "blacklist" specializing in the identity of football hooligans in the UK Police Agency Scotland Yard. This list was established since the Thatcher government. More than ten years have passed. They strictly follow the principle that Mrs. Thatcher once tactfully proposed - it would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go.

As a result, countless innocent fans were in trouble. Fans who had a legitimate career and had never had a criminal record were inexplicably on the blacklist of football hooligans and were banned from going abroad to watch football. The reason may be just that "they once entered the same stadium with football hooligans" "they had drunk wine in the same bar with football hooligans"...

Of course, the government's rude treatment of football hooligan issues cannot be underestimated by the media's role in fueling the fire.

Given an example that is highly representative in the history of English football, it is enough to illustrate what role the media plays in the issue of football hooliganism.

Liverpool fans in Merseyside will never forget their hatred for the Sun, because after the Heathborough massacre, this influential newspaper in the UK competed with the Mirror for news resources, and did not hesitate to compile a live report to attract attention. They have successfully done this. Until now, many people still believe that the Heathborough massacre was caused by the "notorious" riots of Liverpool fans, and believed that they "deserved to die."

That day, the front page of The Sun was called "the most shameful front page title in the history of news" - the truth!

The so-called truth of the Sun is that Liverpool fans deserve it because it was drunk who fought each other that led to the tragedy. They vividly described everything that happened at the Heathborough stadium to readers: those "scum" Liverpool fans took advantage of the chaos to rob the wallets, clothes, watches of the dead... peed on the police who maintained order, beat the staff who performed artificial respiration treatment on the wounded, and even tried to molest a dead female fan!

The title they originally designed for this report was "You are scumbags", but it was later modified to "Truth" before publication. This is really ironic, what is the real truth?

Since the Thatcher government designated fans as "internal enemies" at that time, it was impossible for the government to consider the safety of the enemy, and no one cared about their innocence. They even wished that the media unanimously defined the Heathborg tragedy as a football rogue incident, so as to perfectly prove how correct and far-sighted their bad attitude towards the football sport. Thatcher's private consultant at the time still insisted on the Sun's viewpoint at that time, which is a clear proof.
