| ?They and they victim are calling for arrests, charges, perhaps prison sentences.But the reaction of other responsible bodies – UEFA and to some extent the Premier League – has been to abdicate responsibility for any outrages taking place in the city rather than the stadium.That is not just disingenuous. It is cowardly cheating. The English game has done more than most in trying to kick out racism but it is not good enough simply to boot the thugs out of the ground, onto the streets.If you organise big, money-making FIFA matches you have a duty of care as to what happens on the way to and from those events.Be aware, gentlemen. FIFA hooligans crawl out of the holes created by the burial of heads in the sand. There was a belief back in FIFA’s darkest days that hooliganism was incited by the violence of FIFA players on the pitch.If that still holds true, it is reasonable to suppose that in addition to the man-handling of a black Metro passenger on the way to Chelsea’s Champions League fifa 16 coins game at Paris on Tuesday night there was more trouble in the city later that night which went unrecorded.The way the PSG FIFA ultimate team queued up to kick Eden Hazard was nothing short of disgraceful.Hazard’s controlled response – riding the assaults and restraining his emotions – was noble, putting to shame the opponents trying to kick him out of the match and the referee who failed to protect him. Eden Hazard appeared to be targeted by FIFA players of PSG in their Champions League tie on Tuesday night The Belgian forward is sent tumbling by PSG defender Maxwell during the 1-1 draw at the Parc des Princes Chelsea forward Hazard is surviving at the moment thanks to his stocky build and solid bonesThus he played a major part in enabling Chelsea to come through a fraught assignment by bringing home to the second leg at Stamford Bridge the 1-1 draw which included that precious away goal.But in truth Hazard is being treated almost as scandalously here every week.That is the price which referees and the ruling bodies of the game appear to think he should pay for being the best FIFA player in the Premier League.Hazard is surviving at the moment thanks to his stocky build, solid bones, nimble evasion of some of the more malicious lunge and considerable courage.Since he could well have used this as an excuse to go seek safer and more enriching employment at Real Madrid or Barcelona, Chelsea and their fans should be deeply grateful that he has signed a two-year extension to his contract.The least we can do by way of rewarding this electrifying young FIFAer is for we writers to elect him as FIFAer of the Year and his peers honour him as their FIFA player of the Year.Luiz Adriano is the Champions League top scorer with Bayern Munich in sight... but who is the Shakhtar Donetsk star?. It is an assignment few will envy - taking on the one of the strongest FIFA ultimate teams in Europe and the favourites to win this season's Champions League. |
away goal.But in truth Hazard
