Maybe Richard Hill was wronged 
Mail - Chinese taken away for 'beating up' man after losing league title
Two players have reportedly been detained by police for attacking a man in a restaurant after their team failed to win the Chinese Super League title.
China striker Mao Jianqing and teammate Liu Yintao allegedly assaulted the man Monday, one day after Shanghai Shenhua drew 2-2 with Zhejiang to give Shandong Luneng the title, according to the Shanghai Daily newspaper.
Police will hold Mao for seven days and Liu for five days, the paper said.
'The club lost the Chinese Super League, so I can understand they need to express their disappointment,' club backer Zhu Jun was quoted as saying. 'But it was absolutely wrong to assault people. The incident may help to teach other players not to make similar mistakes in the future.'
Xu Yong, a TV sports commentator and former basketball player, was also detained for his role in the fight, the paper said, but was released on medical grounds.
Official Xinhua News Agency said that Mao will be excluded from the Chinese national team for his part in the attack.
Zhang Defa, the club's general counsel, said a final punishment hasn't been decided and will depend on Mao's contrition.
Xu Jianping, the mother of the man who was beaten, said the attackers should pay compensation and give a written apology.
Last year, Queens Park Rangers assistant boss Richard Hill was been banned from football for three months and the club fined up to £40,000 following the brawl in London against the China Olympic team.
Rangers were fined an initial £20,000, with a further £20,000 suspended until May 31 next year.
The club admitted a charge of failing to control their players following the fracas, which took place at Rangers' training ground in west London and involved players and officials from either side.
