Football Giants
Chapter 653: Strange goods can live
For FIFA, the controversy in the outside world has long been overwhelming, but so what?
Before the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the President of the Central and North American Football Association, Jack Warner, reselled World Cup tickets with his son, but was exposed by the media. The final result was internal processing, and the outside world could do nothing.
In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, when the whole world was cheering up for the World Cup, the host South Africa stood up and publicly denounced FIFA as a vampire and all kinds of ugly acts of FIFA. But what about it?
Every time FIFA conducts a presidential election, or when it is voted for the right to host the World Cup, rumors about bribery and ticket buying are endless, but what about the outside world?
Even this time, Blatter voted for the right to host the two World Cups in 2018 and 2022 that were no longer within his power. The outside world almost swallowed him alive, but he always Live well, at ease.
He is like an ancient emperor, who controls a transcendent institution that cannot be restrained by secular government and laws. Who can do anything to him?
Platini understands that FIFA has long been a place where dirt and dirt are hidden. In this institution, there is no darkest, only darker, and even FIFA has long defaulted such a set of rules of the game.
It's just that this time the FA can't play Russia. Coupled with the international situation and political considerations, the British media have reportedly exposed various shady scenes in FIFA's voting for the right to host the World Cup.
After all, this is not just a dispute within football, it has risen to the national level.
Thinking of this, Platini couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Could it be that...
This young master Yang Huan comes from China, which has been rising in international status and influence in recent years!
Thinking of this level, Platini took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, thought about it, and after some consideration, he said: "Master Huan, I can’t say more about it. But for these things, I can only say that I am very disappointed and very sad!"
After Yang Huan listened, he was amused secretly, this Platini was really cautious.
But he guessed it was right. Don't look at Platini's kindness. In fact, this guy is also a careerist, and he doesn't lose to his predecessor Johansson.
If he has no ambitions, how could he first serve in the French Football Association in just a few years, then go to FIFA as an assistant to Blatter, and then come back to replace the French Football Association president as the UEFA Executive Committee, and take charge of UEFA. United Disciplinary Committee, and soon defeated Johansson, was elected UEFA chairman.
Without ability, without ambition, Platini can do so many things in a short time?
"Michelle, I'm very surprised. Since you feel disappointed and sad, why don't you resist?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
"Resist?" Platini shook his head with a laugh, "How to resist?"
Yang Huan swung his head and said nothing, but the meaning was clear.
"Like the Football Association and the British media exposed and reported?" Platini asked rhetorically.
Yang Huan was noncommittal, but he really wanted to know Platini's opinion on the matter.
"In FIFA, although there are many people who are disappointed or even dissatisfied with Blatter's approach, they also do not support or even dislike the approach of the FA and the British media because they are more like a kind of Sapo after losing!"
When Yang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but smile, but he agreed.
None of the countries participating in the race for the right to host the World Cup has a clean foundation.
Twenty-four executive committee members have the right to vote to host the World Cup. Which country does not try to buy and canvass votes? Are British butts clean? The United States did not buy tickets and canvass?
The answer is, all, all!
Since everyone has it, but in the end Russia and Qatar won. If someone who is a bit responsible, lose and lose, the big deal is that I will come back in the future, but if I lose, it will be a shady and privacy, and it will be a bit of a loss of grace. Up.
It's as if four people are playing mahjong, and the one who loses the money lifts the table in anger. What will the other three think?
Of course, Yang Huan is not supporting Blatter or agreeing with FIFA's approach.
Rather, I feel that what the United Kingdom and the United States did this time is indeed a lack of demeanor, so the impression of them within FIFA is very bad, which is also normal.
"Could it be that there is really no one, or there is no organization that can control them?" Yang Huan had an expression that I really didn't believe it, which stimulated Platini so much that he kept talking.
Platini spread his hands, "In international football, the power of FIFA is not controlled. The law and the government cannot control FIFA. Even the sponsors of FIFA's food and clothing parents, one by one. They are all sniffing on FIFA."
Speaking of this, Platini smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't watch those sponsors remain silent, and they may even jump out to protest in the future, but when it comes to Blatter, they still dare not say anything. ."
"For those sponsors, what shady is not shady, what ethics are not important, the most important thing is that the World Cup and FIFA tournaments can promote their brands, this is the key!"
Yang Huan agrees with this, and Platini is right.
I am afraid this is why Blatter and FIFA dare to be so arrogant!
Even South Africa, one of the five BRIC countries, was miserable by them. What else did they dare not do?
"As for UEFA's early years, Johansson had a bad relationship with Blatter. At one point, it was proposed that UEFA member states should take the lead to reorganize a World Cup-like event, but in the end, there were very few people who responded. The reason is simple. No one can see hope!"
Platini's words hit the nail on the head.
Does it seem reasonable to reorganize an event out of FIFA's control?
In the final analysis, this matter is not worth considering.
Because if it is unsuccessful, it will offend FIFA for nothing, and it may be excluded.
Even if it is done for you, so what? Who can guarantee that the new organizer will not become the second FIFA?
Instead of this, it would be better to stay inside FIFA and continue to drink soup and meat, no matter what it is.
This is also Yang Huan's view all along, that is, no matter what the final result of the whole thing is, FIFA will eventually be FIFA, at best, it has changed a chairman and a group of executive committee members.
Platini said so much, he was very angry, because he found that he was powerless in many things, even very passive, like a puppet.
But looking at Yang Huan again, he found that the latter still had a calm smile on his face, looking at him.
This made Platini wonder, what is going on?
Yang Huan looked at Platini with a slight smile, and when he saw that the other party was feeling a little hairy, he retracted his eyes.
"Michelle, maybe there is nothing wrong with what you said, but I think you should never underestimate the will of a country!"
Platini was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, FIFA may be detached from the world, but in the eyes of a political power, it is easy to get rid of it!"
Platini's heart jumped by Yang Huan's words, a little panicked.
In fact, the French had such a hunch, especially after Russia was elected as the host country of the 2018 World Cup, he believed that FIFA's attempts to intervene in politics and play tricks are quite stupid.
For this kind of transcendental organization, the big countries ignore you because they don't have that idle time at all.
But this doesn't mean that people can't help you. On the contrary, if you violate other people's interests, they can kill you every minute!
"Master Huan, could it be said..." Platini's voice trembled.
Yang Huan nodded, "Yes, I received the news that the UK stepped up to expose it publicly. It was just a warm-up show. The real core killer move is behind. The U.S. judicial system has fully intervened and is actively investigating this time. event!"
"What?" Platini was stunned.
He didn't think it was terrifying when the British came out, but the United States has come out, and the matter is big!
Who is wrong, in today's world, the United States is known as the world police, domineeringly puts all the big and small things that happen on the earth into the scope of their control.
More importantly, this time the United States announced its bid to host the 2022 World Cup with great fanfare, but it lost to Qatar. FIFA's move was undoubtedly slapped in the face of the United States, which made the face of the world's hegemony. ?
More importantly, it is well known that the United States does not match Russia.
Your FIFA slapped the United States and Britain in the face, but on that side you gave the right to host the World Cup to Russia?
This will expose the Americans' rebellious scales!
"Master Huan, this...is it true?"
Yang Huan nodded solemnly, "It is true. Although the outside world has not revealed any news, I have received definite news that the American judicial circle is already collecting evidence and it is said that it has instigated a core senior within FIFA. "
This suddenly surprised Platini again.
Election bribery or ticket purchases are usually peer-to-peer transactions, and some are even cash transactions. It is not easy for outsiders to collect evidence, but if someone is an undercover agent, the situation is completely different.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that the source of Young Master Huan is really reliable.
It seems that the U.S. and U.K. finally couldn't help but want to do it!
After all, it was FIFA that offended them miserably this time!
But soon Platini thought of another question, that is...
"Master Huan, why are you telling me this?" Platini asked strangely.
Yang Huan chuckled, thinking to himself, your kid is really on the road, I'm waiting for you to ask!
"Frankly speaking, I don’t know how determined the United States is this time, but FIFA will not fall anyway. Even if Blatter is overthrown by them, I believe FIFA will still be elected soon. Another person comes!"
Platini's eyes lit up when he heard this, showing a look that could hardly refuse the temptation.
President of FIFA?
That is the emperor of world football!
As a qualified football politician~lightnovelpub.net~ Platini asked himself if he did not have the courage and determination to refuse this temptation!
"Looking at the past history of FIFA, all the presidents are from Europe. This is inseparable from UEFA's core position in world football. The FIFA headquarters is also in Europe, Switzerland."
Having said that, Yang Huan gave Platini an encouraging look and smiled.
"Michelle, looking at the current European football, apart from you, I really can't think of anyone else who has the qualifications to compete for the throne of FIFA president!"
What Yang Huan has to do now is to follow the example of Lu Buwei in the Warring States Period and do the things that can be lived in.
At that time, Lu Buwei's strange product was the troubled King of Qin, the son of Ying Yiren.
The strange thing in Yang Huan’s eyes is the UEFA president in front of him, Michel Platini!
