Chapter 1060: Who Can Stop Him?
"What?"
Yang Huan has? Surprised, the whole person jumped up from his seat as if he was electrocuted.
"Let's China host the 2022 World Cup?"
Looking at Young Master Huan's surprised expression, it seemed that his jaw was about to drop, and the meaning projected in his eyes seemed to say, are you sure this is really not the decision of the two of you to work behind closed doors?
Platini and Infantino didn't expect that Young Master Huan's reaction would be so big.
But they have thought it through, and they can basically guarantee that they can handle it.
China, the world's second largest economy, in terms of economic strength, who can compare?
It would be ideal for China to succeed Qatar and host the 2022 World Cup.
As for the United States and the United Kingdom, that's simple, it's a turn.
Give it to the United States in 2026 and the United Kingdom in 2030, and the matter is almost settled.
After this matter was settled, FIFA continued to drink heavily and eat large pieces of meat, and everyone was angry and rich.
Of course, the unlucky one became Qatar.
But it's normal, once a son of heaven and a courtier, Qatar was finalized by Blatter, and Infantino came to power in order to overthrow Blatter and take Qatar, which is also normal.
"No, Michelle, Gianni, I'll tell you," Yang Huan stared at Platini and Infantino, word by word, speaking very hard, and his face was not as relaxed as usual, but solemn.
"We in China, at least for the short term, do not plan to host the World Cup!"
"Why?" Infantino was a little surprised.
This is the World Cup, and no number of countries want to hold it.
Moreover, if such a huge economy as China can be pulled out and the World Cup is hosted by Chinese, it will be a considerable achievement for Infantino, which can help him gain a firm foothold in the position of FIFA president.
Former Chairman Seppat tried in every possible way to win over China to host the event, but China's attitude has always been relatively resistant.
Now, Young Master Huan said that if he does not plan to hold it in a short time, he will undoubtedly close the door again.
They are all very aware of Young Master Huan's influence in China, and this time they are speaking for Russia and Qatar, they must be able to speak in the Chinese leadership, and if Young Master Huan says that he doesn't plan to, then he definitely doesn't plan to.
Yang Huan saw that the disappointment of the two people on the other side was overflowing, and he knew very well what was going on, and sighed, "Michelle, Gianni, maybe when our football level and the development of the football industry reach a certain level, we will bid, but it is definitely not now!" ”
At this stage, the level of Chinese football is indeed very backward, but what is even more backward than the level of football is China's football industry, and this is almost the key to determining whether a country can benefit from the World Cup.
I believe that when many people mention the host country of the World Cup, they will definitely mention the joint hosting of South Korea and Japan, as well as the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Both World Cups are telling.
When South Korea and Japan hosted the World Cup, their domestic football industries had been developing for many years and were beginning to take shape.
Although many fans will bombard South Korea and Japan for the shady scenes in the World Cup, it is undeniable that these two countries were leading in Asia at the time, both in terms of player level and professional leagues, and they developed rapidly.
If you don't have the strength, you will be beaten 3-0 by the opponent as soon as you get on the field, and you will try the black whistle again?
Therefore, at that time, the football level and football industry of South Korea and Japan had developed quite well, which was considered to have laid a solid foundation, so after hosting the World Cup, it greatly boosted the football enthusiasm of these two countries and improved their international image.
The situation in South Africa is quite the opposite.
If there is still an impression, many fans will remember that before and after the World Cup, there was a rift between the South African government and FIFA, which was even described as a vampire by the South African government.
Absolutely.
Hosting the World Cup has never been a lucrative business, because all ways to make money are monopolized by FIFA.
Even, to some extent, hosting the World Cup is a loss-making business.
But right? Yang Huan often said that whether you lose money or not depends on the person.
Qatar is a typical kind of loss-making shouting, they just have money, they just want the world to know that in the Middle East, there is such a small country, and there is such a tourist resort.
That's what they're for!
The United States and the United Kingdom, on the other hand, need the World Cup to stimulate their own economies and boost their domestic sports industry in a country dominated by the tertiary sector.
They are already a big country, but they are also a football powerhouse, and they are taking advantage of the World Cup to attract fans from all over the world, and they are fully capable of reaping the benefits from other areas to make up for the financial losses in hosting the World Cup.
More importantly, they have the ability to translate the excitement of the World Cup into long-term benefits for their home countries.
This requires a mature football and sports industry.
But for China, this is unlikely to happen in the short term.
China's economy is currently in the transition stage, want to vigorously develop the tertiary industry, the level of football is low, the football industry is still very imperfect, in this case, with the country's manpower and material resources, to host a World Cup, what can it bring?
It is completely foreseeable that it must be a big loss in hosting the World Cup.
Then, the stadium specially built for the World Cup bid was vacant, or transferred to the Chinese Super League team, and the cost of long-term maintenance of the stadium was passed on to the professional clubs.
So what can China gain from it?
The answer is, almost nothing!
When it comes to international status and influence, with China's current strength and status, do we still need these?
If you want to revitalize Chinese football, can it really be revitalized with the current level of China's football industry and football?
If the Chinese team performs well in the World Cup, it will be fine, but if the performance fails, then how to do it?
Therefore, with the current situation in China, hosting the World Cup is at best enjoyable.
Rather than rushing to do it now, it is better to wait for the Chinese football market to be cultivated and the football industry is relatively perfect, and then bid for the World Cup, which will greatly boost the domestic football industry.
Yang Huan believes that in another ten or twenty years, it is appropriate.
At that time, a group of players who received formal high-quality youth training were in the year of play, becoming the core combat effectiveness of the national team, the domestic football industry was also improved, and the professional league was also mature, just by holding the World Cup to boost it.
Of course, these calculations and thoughts in Yang Huan's heart will definitely not be said.
He mentioned more about the World Cup in Qatar.
His opinion was that it should be left to Qatar to do so.
This is not only because of his close relationship with Qatar, but also because he feels that this is a more desirable outcome.
For Young Master Huan's opinion, Infantino and Platini also paid attention to it.
But they can't make a decision now, after all, FIFA is not their word for it.
…………
…………
In the box, when the topic shifted from the ownership of the World Cup to the power structure within FIFA, the players from both sides of the stadium also walked into the stadium one after another.
It's a star-studded showdown!
Southampton, for their part, fielded the main man, with Manuel Neuer in goal, and David Alaba, Aymeric Laporte, Raphael Varane and Danilo at the back.
In midfield, Angel Di Maria, Toni Kroos and Paul Pogba were in charge, while the front three were Eden Hazard, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi.
This is also the strongest squad for Southampton this season.
Pogba has been impressive this season and has replaced Cesc Fabregas as the team's first choice in midfield.
The French midfielder is not only offensive and defensive, but also has a delicate technique, and at the same time, he is also quite outstanding in attacking ability.
It is worth mentioning that before the game, the newspaper As, which is close to Real Madrid, reported that Florentino listed Danilo and Pogba as superstars that Real Madrid must bring in this summer, and is willing to pay a sky-high price for these two stars.
But Southampton have publicly stated that both players are not for sale.
Pogba also said in an interview with the French newspaper that he will not leave Southampton because he wants to achieve his football peak here!
Southampton, who are at home, are the main players, and Real Madrid, who are playing away, are not to be outdone.
The goalkeeper is Keylor Navas, and the backline is Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe and Carvajal.
Casemiro, Luka Modric and Vidal were a combination in midfield, while James Rodriguez, Robert Lewandowski and Gareth Bale were up front.
Judging from Real Madrid's lineup, the failure to bring in Aguero this summer has indeed had a great impact on the team's attack.
And judging from the current situation in the European transfer market, Real Madrid's situation is also worrying.
Whether it's James Rodriguez, Gareth Bale, or Robert Lewandowski, they have all received attention and poaching from Premier League teams.
No way, with the signing of the new broadcast contract, the Premier League is rich, it's so capricious!
And in the long run, Real Madrid's strategy of wanting to continue hoarding superstars is likely to be hit.
As the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure.
Without a stellar income, it will be very difficult for Real Madrid and Barcelona to attract and retain superstars.
As for saying that the star wants to mix the results and win the championship honor, these are secondary conditions.
For a professional footballer, the most important priority is the salary.
From this point of view, the advantages and potential of the Premier League are still very large.
The appearance of the two teams caused a boil of all the fans in the stadium, and all the Saints fans greeted the team with almost crazy noises.
This year's Champions League final will be held at the Stade de la Glory, and this match against Real Madrid will undoubtedly be a very good preview!
Therefore, the fans of the Saints have already begun to warm up, just to create a frenetic home atmosphere.
Reaching the final, three consecutive championships, and a Grand Slam have all become temptations in front of the Saints players.
Yang Huan sat in the box, smiling slightly, looking at the madness in the stadium, he was used to it.
Platini and Infantino were a little shocked as they found the atmosphere at the Saints' home stadium to be too frenetic.
It's entirely predictable that if Southampton do make it to the final, who else will be able to beat the Saints on this pitch?
It is worth mentioning that as early as before, UEFA announced that the 2017 Champions League final would be played to Milan in Italy.
But the venue for the final was not Milan's San Siro, but the Nerazzurri's Estadio de la Glory.
It was also an agreement between Inter Milan and AC Milan, and the price paid was that Inter Milan gave up the lease of the San Siro Stadium.
In addition, Atletico Madrid's Estadio del Glory will also begin bidding to host the 2018 Champions League final.
There is no doubt that the time has come for Young Master Huan's team to show their strength!
Who else can stop him on the stage of European football?
Is Zidane's Real Madrid OK?
Platini wasn't sure!
