UEFA released a statement that day.
UEFA announced that German player Fahrinhearst would be banned from participating in any UEFA competitions for the next five years, and fined the player 17,000 Euros. For the foreseeable future, UEFA will strengthen the punishment for fouls in an effort to eradicate malicious fouls and wished Kevin a speedy return to the field.
The last time Huang Kaiwen committed a foul.
UEFA issued a notice to rescind Huang Kaiwen's red card.
This time Huang Kaiwen was fouled, and the player who committed the foul received a five-year ban.
Although it seemed quite double-standard, European media and fans had no objections at all.
Even within Germany, many fans felt that Fahrinhearst should be penalized more severely.
FIFA then also made its presence felt by imposing a five-year ban on Fahrinhearst.
For a player who couldn't make it onto the national team, this was essentially a ban to solitude.
All the pressure was now on the German Football Association.
