No matter the result of Nottingham Forest's appeal, the red card had already affected Anelka's mood.
On that day, in the locker room after the end of the match, Anelka was as gloomy as a ghost. Just getting close to him gave the others a chill.
In truth, the usual Anelka was also pretty cold, but especially because of what had occurred, it was unusual for him to still be that way.
Tang En thought about it but decided not to approach the Frenchman for the time being. At this point, his mood could not be any good.
There were some things that should only be spoken of after the fact.
After the EFL Cup Committee and The Referees' Association received Forest's appeal, their answer to Forest was that they could only decide after further analysis. However, they did not state when that would take place.
Upon hearing their reply, Tang En cursed loudly in his office.
