The head of UEFA, Michel Platini and the head of FIFA, Blatter, spoke out for Jiang Chenxi at the same time, which shocked the world football world.

You know, whether it is between UEFA and FIFA, or between Platini and Blatter, the relationship is not harmonious, on the contrary, the relationship can be said to be very bad.

In the eyes of many Chinese, UEFA, as a 'subordinate body' of FIFA, and FIFA President Blatter is still a European, the relationship between UEFA and FIFA should be very harmonious, but from the actual situation, although the two sides are not "not sharing the sky", they can also be regarded as "full of grievances".

Not to mention, in 2010, FIFA President Sepp Blatter decided to elect the host countries of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in advance, a move intended to win votes and build momentum for Blatter's re-election, which was met with real opposition from UEFA at the time.

Next, when it was time for the real election, UEFA believed that England would get the right to host the event with an absolute advantage, but the media in the British Isles announced many scandalous things about FIFA, including bribery and corruption, which directly caused the British to lose the bid. This is not the end, and after Qatar, the host country in 2022, proposed to postpone the event due to climate reasons, it was the Europeans who jumped out. First of all, Rummenigge's bombardment, and then rumors of "the World Cup will be held in a different location", even after the dust has settled on the 2022 World Cup recently, Europeans, especially the British, are still holding on to FIFA because of the conflict between the league and the World Cup time.

……

The previous war between FIFA and UEFA boiled down to a big game over the question of "who is the boss of the rivers and lakes".

Platini is determined to innovate in Europe: the expansion of the 2016 European Championship and the 2020 European Championship will invite South American, Central and North American, and Asian powerhouses to participate, all of which are Platini's fierce countermeasures to FIFA, so that the European Championship can compete with FIFA's World Cup.

At the same time, UEFA strongly demanded that the number of places in the European zone for the World Cup be increased, on the grounds that Europe has the most strong teams, which FIFA cannot agree to.

But in FIFA's view, their aim is to promote football to the world, not to protect the interests of Europeans. This can be seen in the dividends of the 2014 World Cup. Regardless of whether they participate or not, everyone has meat to eat, and even the Chinese Football Association, which only participated in the Asian qualifiers, received a "grand prize" of 750,000 US dollars because of this principle of FIFA.

With the recent UEFA presidency election and FIFA presidency approaching, Platini and Blatter have attacked each other, both hoping to pull each other down.

Under such circumstances, the two bigwigs suddenly spoke up for Jiang Chenxi, and even did not hesitate to 'offend' the AFC, which really shocked many people.

The media analyzed the matter.

Jiang Chenxi plays for the Premier League giants Liverpool and is currently the top star in European football, and in the case of Messi and Ronaldo will eventually age, Jiang Chenxi is likely to become the world's first star after Melo, which will also have a profound impact on UEFA's promotion of the UEFA Champions League on a global scale, especially in Asia.

The AFC has always been Blatter's territory, and Platini naturally has no psychological pressure on the AFC.

As for Blatter's attitude, Blatter has always dreamed of expanding the influence of the World Cup, and China, as a large country with the largest population and rising economy, is a market that Blatter wants to expand, and Blatter is happy to see the rise of Chinese star Jiang Chenxi.

Of course, there are conspiracy theories, that is, the current vice chairman of the AFC referee committee, Hani, is the former AFC president Haman, and Haman used to be Blatter's younger brother, and then turned against the water, and was immediately rammed to death by Blatter on the charge of 'corruption'.

In addition, Blatter's relationship with the Korean Football Association is also average, and former FIFA vice president and South Korean Jung Mong-joon was also an ally of Blatter for a time, and later turned back...... He was then knocked to the ground by a blatter with a stick.

……

Of course, conspiracy theories don't get on the table.

In fact, Prince Fahd, the current big man of Asian football, has always been considered an old friend of the Chinese people.

The French "Team Newspaper" hit the nail on the head, whether it is UEFA or FIFA, they are willing to defend Jiang Chenxi, the influence of a Chinese national world footballer is huge, at the same time, behind Jiang Chenxi is a huge Chinese market, in addition, as Blatter said, he personally very much hopes that China can enter the World Cup.

Or to put it another way, Blatter is happy to see the Chinese team win the Asian Cup.

As for Europe, because of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, Europeans generally do not have a good impression of the Korean national team.

Whatever the reason, the joint announcement of Blatter and Platini has forced the AFC to take the matter seriously.

On January 30, the day before the Asian Cup final, the AFC Referee Committee officially announced that Iranian referee Faghani was banned for half a year and fined $20,000 for serious mistakes in the enforcement of the Asian Cup semifinals between the Chinese team and the United Arab Emirates.

When the news came, the Chinese media and fans cheered, and it was also the first time in the history of the Chinese team that the complaint against the referee problem was successfully answered.

At the same time, AFC President Salman also publicly said in an interview with the media that he is very much looking forward to the Asian Cup final between the Chinese team and the South Korean team, and this game will be an extremely fair feast.

……

The Asian Cup final between China and South Korea is getting closer.

On January 30, South Korea coach Stillik and captain Ki Seong-yong attended the pre-match press conference. Qi Chengyong bluntly said, "Japan has won the Asian Cup more times than us, which is a shame for us. This is probably the best chance of our people to win the Asian Cup in our lives, we are ready in every way, we will beat China, and the whole Republic of Korea is supporting us! ”

Speaking about the team's game tomorrow, Stillik said: "My players are very disciplined, very professional, we are one and China is not. ”

The South Korean media are also cheering for the South Korean team.

South Korea's "JoongAng Daily" also issued a special article to remind the stars of the South Korean team, "Be careful of the Shaolin football of the Chinese team."

South Korean media also cited several examples, including former South Korean international Hwang Sun-hong who collided with the Chinese team's goalkeeper and tore his cruciate ligament during a warm-up match when he was a player.

South Korean media also mentioned the past of Jung Jin and Cisse.

Former South Korean coach Shin Tae-ryong believes that the Chinese team is afraid of the South Korean team, "As long as you realize that the opponent is a strong South Korean team, the Chinese team will be afraid." ”

Shin Tae-ryong also gave an example, "In the Korean professional baseball world in the 80s of the 20th century, as long as Xuan Tongyeol warmed up on the bench, he could make the other party nervous. The opponent thought that he might score before Xuan Tongyeol came on the field. Therefore, although the Chinese team has Jiang Chenxi, but, in fact, they are very troubled now, and they are scared in their hearts. ”

……

Subsequently, at the pre-match press conference of the Chinese team, a South Korean reporter asked a provocative question, asking Zheng Zhen if he still remembered the poor man Cisse back then?

This caused an uproar at the scene, Zheng Zhen was even more pale, Zheng Zhen has been blamed for the things of the year, however, there is a view that throughout Zheng Zhen's career, in addition to that incident, in fact, Zheng Zhen is not a player who is used to rough fouls, and the reason why he kicked Cisse is largely due to the fact that his frequency of action has not kept up with Cisse: Zheng Zhen, based on his own experience and judgment, believes that he can destroy the ball out of the sideline before Cisse touches the ball again, But the Frenchman moved more quickly than he expected; At the same time, everything happened in an instant, and it was impossible for Zheng Zhen's right foot to stop abruptly, and the tragedy happened because of this......

Of course, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong, after all, this is not a critical meeting for Zheng Zhen, this is the pre-match press conference of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup final.

Such an act by a South Korean journalist is already an extremely serious provocation.

An unexpected scene then happened, before the Chinese team could respond, an Italian reporter at the scene stood up and asked the South Korean reporter indignantly, "Is Moreno here today?" ”

There was silence at first, and then there was a burst of laughter and applause, which was applauded by Chinese reporters, followed by reporters from England, France, and Spain.

When it comes to pulling hatred, Koreans are clearly even less liked by Europeans.

After the press conference, the media was filled with European media, especially the Italian media, the Spanish media and the South Korean media.

Back at the hotel, the players of the Chinese team were still talking, and no one thought that the Italians would be so righteous and come out at a critical moment to open fire.

Zheng Zhen found Jiang Chenxi and said thank you.

He knew that the Italian reporter was Jiang Chenxi's friend, and Zheng Zhen once saw Jiang Chenxi greeting the Italian reporter on the sidelines of the training ground.

……

The pre-match quarrels and disturbances were at best a concoction, and the media and fans naturally focused most on the final itself.

On January 31, 2015, the day of the 16th Asian Cup finals came as scheduled.

"Stupid, look at the good things you did." Li Jianguo was scolding his son.

The Chinese team reached the finals, the two fathers and sons were very excited, the family background can only be said to be ordinary Li Jianguo gritted his teeth, and took his son to Sydney to watch the Asian Cup final, thinking of the cost of this trip, Li Jianguo felt distressed, because the Chinese team reached the Asian Cup finals, which made the domestic flights to Australia full, not to mention discount tickets, even business class had to rely on grabbing, the two of them came to the group, the tour fee was even more than twice the usual, and some domestic travel agencies made a lot of money, which made Li Jianguo angry and scolded, Scolding these people for making black money.

Although he was distressed about the money and scolded angrily, Li Jianguo still came, and this time the expenses will be the biggest expense in the life of this ordinary Chinese fan in his fifties.

Li Xiaoming hung his head and was scolded by his father.

Before leaving, Li Jianguo told him to carry the five-star red flag, but because he was in a hurry, Li Xiaoming fell at home.

"Blame me! Blame me! Li Xiaoming was afraid that his old father would be angry, "I'll buy one." ”

"Buy you guys." Li Jianguo scolded, "Where to buy?" ”

"China! China! At this moment, the Chinese dialect with a strange accent sounded, and the father and son looked up and saw a blonde girl holding a loudspeaker shouting, "100 Australian dollars!" AUD 100! ”

……

Girls selling Chinese flags?

As soon as the two people turned their heads, they saw several little blacks shouting not far away, "I love China", holding a sign in their hands, writing in crooked Chinese: Five-star red flag, essential for watching football, 100 Australian dollars, no bargain!

Sub-Olympic.

Li Xiaoming was stunned.

Then he ran over and bought a five-star red flag from the girl for $100.

Then, when he came back, he smiled at the old father flatteringly.

"Loser." Li Jianguo scolded, "Grab money!" Black-hearted! ”

"Then I'll go back." Li Xiaoming whispered.

"Drop the peat." Li Jianguo patted his son's head, "Enter the scene, forget it, I'll pay for you." ”

"Oh." Li Xiaoming scratched his head, secretly squeezed down, and secretly gave his mother some money next month, his father was not in good health and couldn't lose nutrition.

Li Xiaoming secretly glanced at the national flag, and there was a price tag on it, 39 yuan, Yiwu small commodities block C......

"Hurry up!" Li Jianguo shouted, glaring at his son, "Raise the national flag!" ”

"Oooo Li Xiaoming said.

The two of them quickly disappeared into the red tide, only to see the five-star red flag raised high, swaying in the Sydney breeze......

PS: The second shift, when I came back from the hospital, I didn't care about dinner, so I hurried up to code words. Ask for a monthly pass, thank you.
