After the game, O'Neill and the Wolverhampton club made clear their comments on the situation and stressed the seriousness of the situation.
Director O'Neill said, `Hwang Hee-chan heard really disappointing racist remarks. I talked to Hwang Hee-chan about it, and I checked if he wanted to be out, but he wanted to keep doing what he needed for the team. Of course he's really disappointed, and I understand. I'm proud of the fact that he wanted to continue leading the team in a difficult time."
Then "Chani will be fine. We will fully support him, and we will also meet him tomorrow morning to make sure he is okay. We are a team together,' he said, explaining that he would not spare any support for Hwang Hee-chan.
Wolverhampton also said on the club's official website that `Racism or discrimination in any form is completely unacceptable and should never happen. We will file a formal complaint with UEFA in connection with this case,' the release said.

In response to protests and anger over racism, Como's answer was red-hot and denial of the allegations. Como released a statement on Hwang Hee-chan's racism on its official website saying 'Our club does not tolerate racism, and absolutely condemns all forms of racism.
Como said 'We spoke to find out what the defender in question was saying'We had a long talk with the player and I'm sure this had to do with the player's name and his teammates referring to him as Channy on the pitch' and claimed it was just because of his Wolverhampton colleagues' Channy comments and name. According to the release, the Como defender told his fellow defender of Hwang Hee-chan "ignore him, he thinks he's Jackie Chan."

Rather, Wolverhampton's response was disappointing. Como said 'As our club understands, our player has never said anything deliberately disparaging. 'We are disappointed that the incident was overstated by the reaction of some Wolverhampton players.' He explained that the racism claim is an exaggeration.
It was a shocking reaction. Como's statement that Jackie Chan's remarks were not racist was tantamount to saying that he would not recognize all Asians as racism at all, meaning that Asians all look the same. There have already been cases in which Tottenham player Rodrigo Bentancur spit out similar nuances to Son Heung-min in June and received a lot of criticism.

However, the problem is that despite Como's attitude, the UEFA protest will be of no use at all.
The British Guardian reported that although Wolverhampton said they would file a formal complaint with UEFA, UEFA said the matter was beyond their control.
A UEFA spokesperson said that `the struggle to eliminate racism, discrimination, and intolerance in football is our organization's main priority.' While UEFA will continue its fight to eliminate all forms of discrimination in football, the organization's disciplinary body can only act on events that have occurred at the UEFA competition"We cannot give any disciplinary action for racism in situations like the friendly between Wolverhampton and Como."

However, there may still be some way to protest. It has been reported that the English Football Association could officially contact the Italian Football Association, and there is a possibility that the Italian Football Association will conduct its own investigation into the matter.
Global sports media The Athletic reported 'Wolverhampton is Hwang?He also complained to the English Football Association (FA) after reporting that he had been subjected to age-racist insults. The FA said Hwang Hee-chan's teammates were furious over the incident, and Podence was sent off for punching, so it is expected to contact the Italian Football Association (FIGC) and UEFA on this matter.
