but!
UEFA is not a human being!
In other words, because of a major incident, UEFA temporarily lost the energy to control the draw, thus turning this year's Champions League semi-finals into a civil war!
Barcelona VS Real Madrid!
Manchester United VS Chelsea!
Can you believe it!
This made countless fans express their incomprehension.
La Liga fans feel it’s a big loss, why not make it La Liga VS Premier League?
In this case, Barcelona and Real Madrid can meet in the Champions League final.
This is definitely the most exciting game in the world, bar none!
Premier League fans have the same view on this.
Is UEFA afraid that two Premier League teams will meet in the Champions League final?
snort!
So cowardly!
Fans of these two major leagues firmly believe that their team will be able to defeat the team in the next league.
However, judging from the support rate of other fans, if it is really the Premier League VS La Liga, more people are optimistic that the La Liga teams will meet in the final.
This also shows that at the current stage, La Liga does seem to have a certain advantage in the competition for the world's first league.
After all, since last year, Real Madrid has been the strongest. Just ask who is in favor and who is against?
As for Barcelona, with Lu Yang here, who can they beat at a 50-50 draw?
The advantages of La Liga are visible to the naked eye. .
However, UEFA did not arrange such a well-arranged schedule, which actually caused La Liga and the Premier League to enter civil war mode.
I have to say, this is a bit too doggy.
In the past, the Champions League had the principle of circumvention of the same league, but it was revised a few years ago. Now the Champions League does not have the principle of circumvention of the same league after the quarterfinals.
This is to further consolidate the advantages of strong teams and avoid early encounters with strong teams due to avoidance of the same league and other reasons.
Of course, fans who think about it will think that this civil war mode is actually not bad.
After all, it is at least guaranteed that there will be a La Liga team and a Premier League team in the Champions League final.
No one in La Liga or the Premier League will suffer.
And... civil wars in general are not pretty.
But this year’s civil war is no longer certain.
In the Premier League, Manchester United has to play an FA Cup semi-final before facing Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals. The opponent...is Chelsea!
Three battles!
Manchester United and Chelsea almost faced off for three consecutive games, fighting on two fronts.
Chelsea is still competing with Arsenal for the title. Under triple pressure, it is very likely that Manchester United will break out of the encirclement.
On the other side, Real Madrid and Barcelona are even more exciting.
Because the league match between the two legs of the Champions League semi-finals... the thirty-fifth round of La Liga happened to be Real Madrid VS Barcelona!
I don’t even dare to write that!
It can only be said that the staff of La Liga who arranged the schedule were too bold.
The arrangement of this league is simply wonderful.
Let’s not talk about the Champions League, it’s a life and death battle.
In terms of the league, there is no room for relaxation in the El Clasico, not to mention that Barcelona may still have the opportunity to discuss the La Liga championship with Real Madrid at that time.
Three games are no more important than the Premier League.
It's a super three-way battle on both sides.
Fans of world football are simply in luck.
However, the major media have far different views on the three battles between the two sides.
Everyone thinks that Manchester United and Chelsea each have their own opportunities, and the situation is difficult to predict.
But most people at Real Madrid and Barcelona feel...Barcelona is out of luck.
Galaxy battleship!
Playing a game against Real Madrid is a huge loss to other teams.
What's more, it's a third battle?
What is the thickness of Real Madrid's lineup?
What is the thickness of Barcelona's lineup?
Doesn’t this make Barcelona rush up and die?
According to the predictions of the authoritative media "Marca", Barcelona is certain to lose these three games. The controversial part is just whether Real Madrid can score ten goals for Barcelona in three games!
Ahem!
"Marca" is indeed a bit excessive. After all, it is the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, so of course it has to be a little arrogant.
At least the same thing, Barcelona’s mouthpiece media would not dare to say.
Other media, which are slightly more neutral, said that the best case scenario for Barcelona is to draw the first game and then lose the second game.
In the third game, which is the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, I am afraid they will not be able to escape the fate of being massacred by Real Madrid.
Just like what Real Madrid did to Barcelona last year.
The scientific part of this speculation is that they fully took into account the thickness of Real Madrid's lineup and the adaptability of Real Madrid's group of superstars.
Every football superstar definitely did not reach the altar by luck.
Such players have good IQ and may not be able to adapt to the same team for three or five games, but over time, as long as the team is willing to cooperate a little, they will definitely be able to thrive.
Similarly, when facing opponents, they may not feel enough in a game and may not be able to perform amazingly.
But in three consecutive games, they were able to thoroughly analyze all the opponent's playing methods and the styles of all players, and then find the method that best suited them!
This is what makes superstars better than ordinary stars... their ability to learn.
It is also the system of compulsory education, college entrance examination, and postgraduate entrance examination that are horribly complicated in China.
Many people think that reading is useless.
It is true that most of the knowledge we learn on campus is difficult to use in the short term, but... just the learning ability developed through systematic learning is enough to become the biggest difference between top students and ordinary people.
These students with strong learning abilities may not be geniuses, do not necessarily engage in scientific research, and may not necessarily become business giants, but as long as you give them a certain amount of time, they can learn almost most of the skills, rules, techniques, operating procedures, etc.
They are a very easy-to-use, flat, high-quality fire brick without too many impurities. Leaders and bosses, or the society, can make any combination of them, draw and carve them on them, and turn them into the shape they want.
Any systematic training is essentially intended to produce such "high-quality basic products."
However, some players and stars do not have the strong learning and adaptability that almost everyone in China has, especially young people.
…
Everyone knows that UEFA will "manipulate" the schedule.
But as I said before, they didn’t have it this year.
They were delayed by something.
What is that?
It's... Yukorun!
After months of turmoil, the truth is gradually coming to light as the Yukorun affair comes to court.
First, people discovered that the videos and pictures provided by Yu Kerun about Da Mao's domestic violence against her and child abuse were forged.
Secondly, with the evidence provided by the man Da Mao, people discovered that the real domestic abuser of the child was actually Yuko Run!
Not only that, it was not just herself who hurt Yukorun's child, but also Yukorun's mistress... Jefflin!
When the video evidence was released, Europe was in uproar.
Jeffrey!
President of the Slovenian Football Association!
UEFA President!
Such an official figure actually cursed at his mistress's children at will, which showed his nature as a beast and brought shame to the entire European football world.
Many media, clubs, and fans now recall their previous support for Yokorun and Jefflin, and they want to slap themselves in the face.
So evil!
How can such a person harm European football?
After an emergency meeting, UEFA adopted the decision to suspend all powers of Jefflin.
However, this decision became difficult to implement because of resistance from UEFA President Jefflin himself.
A very ridiculous scene occurred.
I object to your opposition to me!
UEFA has become a complete joke.
Fortunately, heroes emerge from troubled times.
In this case, Italian Football Federation Chairman Maltifni stepped forward, organized the entire European football community to launch a boycott against Jefflin, and asked UEFA to immediately start the process of impeaching Jefflin.
After the process is completed, if the impeachment is successful, Jefflin's opinion will no longer matter.
Maltifni rose up, and the entire European football world responded.
Although the process will take who knows how many months, Jefflin's authority has actually been forcibly suspended by UEFA.
Such people have brought huge losses to European football.
Think about it, if the entire European football world unanimously supports Yuko Run, how should everyone deal with themselves now?
Football will become the joke of all sports.
Is the world's number one sport shameless?
If the reputation is bad, it may really be surpassed by other sports in the future.
Football is attractive, but once European football as the main carrier becomes disgusting, there will definitely be many people who would rather give up paying attention to European football temporarily.
Some attention, once lost, can never be regained.
Fortunately, Lu Yang has always been slow to resist in the Yukerun incident.
At the beginning, he was an outlier in European football and was besieged by countless people.
But now, he has become the reputation savior of European football.
Major media began to exaggerate Lu Yang's justice, bravery, wit, and tenacity. He preserved the bottom line for European football.
The harder Lu Yang is beaten, the easier it is for people to forget what started all this.
The negative news was suppressed by the positive news.
Just like on earth, Chelsea may go bankrupt or reorganize after a while. Later fans learned that Chelsea was taken over by Premier League officials because of lack of money, unable to participate in games and retain players, and was fined nine points or more.
Without in-depth understanding, those later fans would never know that Chelsea's financial crisis only occurred due to England's sanctions and freeze.
It happened that Gu Hong didn't even have enough money to refuel the bus to play away games.
Only then did the players fall apart and scatter.
Then came the dilemma of being taken over and being penalized!
Nobody knows.
Popular history that is not profound enough is just a collection of lies.
And Lu Yang became the most dazzling chapter in this.
I have to say, it's ironic.
But this was a huge boost to Lu Yang's popularity.
At least out of the circle.
Not only in Europe, but also in some places in Africa and South America, people know through the news that Lu Yang is a peace fighter who "advocates peace and opposes domestic violence"!
It is rumored that the Premier League, which had previously supported Youkorun the most fiercely, has already started a collective petition, hoping that the British royal family can award Lu Yang a medal to reward him for his huge contribution to the entire Europe!
Lu Yangyi is not an English national.
The second is not a Premier League player.
But this happened.
Quite outrageous.
Of course, reality is sometimes even more outrageous than this.
For example...
"Hey, Lu, I've made some discoveries here. I feel like this matter is a bit big." When Maltifni flew to Barcelona to find Lu Yang in person, Lu Yang knew that something big might really happen this time. .
Maltifni has now entered UEFA, but does not hold a specific position, but has become a member of the Jefflin malfeasance investigation team.
He will not hold a direct position within UEFA, because in this incident, he publicly announced that he will participate in the election for the next UEFA president.
As the first big figure in football to stand up to calm the situation during the chaotic period of UEFA, and with his superb operations in Italian football in recent years, Maltivni received support from many people after speaking out.
He is by far the most likely successor to Jeffrey after he steps down.
So he was invited to join the investigation team.
In the process of investigating Jefflin, Maltifni found some clues.
Behind Jefflin, in addition to some supporters from European football, consortiums, and official circles, there seems to be financial support from the United States.
This is worth pondering.
Because American football...isn't that great.
Their PR Jefflin is worthless.
And unlike China, European football attaches great importance to China, because China itself does not have any mature and influential sports leagues. This is a pure land, and whoever develops it first can occupy the entire market.
That value is definitely not comparable to places like Japan, South Korea, and Australia.
The United States is different. The United States itself has many mature sports leagues, including baseball, basketball, football, ice hockey, boxing... too many.
Football is difficult to develop there.
Even if it develops, the market share will not be too large, because powerful carve-ups already exist.
Americans have no reason to play football.
Maltifni could not figure out that the dealings between Jefflin and the American consortium could not be explained by normal investment.
There is something behind this.
But... what is it?
"The Jin-Yuan football era is coming. But this is just an era of transition, not the end." Lu Yang expressed his speculation, "The cause of the Jin-Yuan era is that some people hope to enter the European celebrity class through football. ."
"Later, many wealthy and powerful institutions and regions hoped to use football to improve their international image and expand their influence and international status."
"Of course there are also the maturity of the football market and its huge economic influence. In addition, there are some dark side reasons, etc."
"But the market is so huge that it's absolutely impossible not to attract greedy Americans."
"Americans, who think they are the best in the world, are very resourceful in doing things. They never bother to join other people's rules. They prefer to create new rules so that they can have home field advantage."
"If they want to play football, they won't just buy a few teams to join European football. What they have to do is...form a football league that is completely under their control."
Maltifni shook his head, obviously not agreeing with Lu Yang's statement: "Does the American Major League want to join UEFA? This is unscientific geographically. Of course, if they insist on joining, it is not impossible."
"But it is absolutely impossible for them to become one of the five major leagues in a short period of time. No matter how domineering they are, they can only qualify for one Champions League and one Europa League. No more."
Lu Yang smiled: "It seems you haven't realized... Americans will not join the European League, and they will not surrender. How have they ever looked up to Europe?"
"They are not here to enjoy football, they are here to make money, they are here to harvest, understand?"
"Select the most watched teams from the five major leagues to form a new super league. Using the NBA format, there will be no relegation, just countless giants showdowns."
"If you are a fan, are you willing to pay for a game like this? Only in the quarterfinals of the Champions League will there be a large-scale showdown. But in the American Super League, every game is like this!"
"At that time, European football will be nothing! The five major European leagues will be nothing! All clubs will only want to squeeze into this super league. Because except for this league, the other leagues will no longer gain the attention of the world."
"By gathering the attention of countless leagues around the world into one league, the value of each team will increase exponentially. What a huge business this is!"
"Americans want to steal all European football money!"
Maltifni was shocked.
This...where did Lu Yang hear this?
really?
How could such a thing happen?
"No European fans will allow such a situation to occur. Even if there are wealthy clubs interested, 95% of other teams will never agree." Maltivni did not believe it.
This idea is too naive.
"Really? Then have you ever calculated how many fans of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern, Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Paris Saint-Germain account for the total number of fans in Europe? What? Fifty percent or seventy percent?"
"What percentage of the world's football fans is it? Ninety percent or ninety-five percent?"
"Even if half of Europeans disagree, there are still 6.5 billion people in the world who agree! No one cares about small teams except their own family. This is a very real problem."
Maltifni was completely confused.
He knew that the Americans must be thinking of doing bad things, but he never thought that the Americans would actually want to dig deep!
After a century of accumulation of European football, in the end, it is just a wedding dress for Americans?
If Americans form a Super League, they can harvest world football for at least twenty years!
Twenty years from now, perhaps due to aesthetic fatigue and weak ratings, the Super League may follow in the footsteps of the NBA.
European football may once again usher in the era of hometown football and the five major leagues.
But after decades of accumulation of European football, Americans will do the same trick again.
so bad!
It's just bad.
"Don't worry, if you really become the president of UEFA, they will come to you sooner or later." Lu Yang said, "You can even send some similar signals in some aspects, such as hoping to expand the Champions League. "
"In this way, you will not only be supported by more small clubs, but you will also get covert help from the Americans. Your chances of coming to power will increase a lot."
Maltifni frowned.
Why?
"Because once the expansion occurs, the interests of the big clubs will inevitably be harmed. When the big clubs notice this, they will find ways to resist, but the will of so many small teams is obviously more useful to UEFA than the big clubs."
"The votes of ordinary people are always much easier to win than the votes of the elite."
"Finally, when the Americans proposed the idea of a Super League, how many clubs were not interested?"
Maltifni was convinced.
So despicable.
Co-author: The price of becoming UEFA president is that I will sell out the entire European football world in the future?
In an instant, Maltifni knew what Jefflin was made of.
No wonder little Jefflin can become the president of UEFA.
The restructuring of the Champions League, the restructuring of the Europa League, and even the establishment of a third-level European competition. Everything Jefflin has done has benefited small clubs a lot, and his status is therefore very stable.
But the interests of big clubs have been very obviously damaged under Jefflin's strategy.
In the past few years, UEFA has frequently had problems with its impartiality.
Excluding spinach, this is probably the Americans deliberately trying to discredit UEFA.
When an institution is no longer trusted, ghosts and monsters may emerge.
Otherwise, a united team will not be defeated.
Jefflin is a rebel pretending to be a traitor.
He is not fighting within UEFA at all. His ultimate goal is to overthrow UEFA and make people accept or even welcome the existence of the "European Super League"!
this……
As long as Maltifni had some conscience, he would not be able to do such a thing.
"Lu, we have to stop this!" Maltifni kept shaking his head. This was not the football he was familiar with.
The five major leagues are an unchanging existence in the perception of Maltifni's generation.
The key is that this model gives small teams and small cities opportunities.
Once the American European Super League is established, the level of competition and player abilities will improve in a short period of time, and fans will also benefit.
But with aesthetic fatigue and the shrinking of youth training in most areas, the overall level of football will decline.
In terms of probability, the high-quality stars selected from the 500 million youth training will definitely be stronger and more numerous than the high-quality stars selected from the 50 million youth training.
The Sanremo miracle was just born in Italy last year, and there have been miracles in European football before.
But once the European Super League is born, there will be no more miracles in the world of football.
Some are just stories written by American screenwriters.
"This damn American!" Maltifni lamented.
"But we can't stop it... because all this has not started yet." Lu Yang spread his hands.
Maltifni was dumbfounded for a moment, and then seemed to grasp a life-saving straw: "So... we still have a chance to nip all this in the cradle? We..."
Lu Yang interrupted Maltifni: "Sorry, don't blame me for speaking harshly. Although Americans are bad, the European Super League is something that fans can hardly resist."
"With the further development of capital and business, this day will come sooner or later."
"No one can stop it."
Maltifni was stunned.
But the next moment, light appeared in his eyes.
Because Lu Yang continued: "But the owner of the European Super League does not have to be an American! If it is in the hands of the European football countries, then the European Super League may not bring a devastating blow to European football. ."
"On the contrary, it can fully develop the commercial value of European football. And this money will be used by everyone to continue to give back to football, making it a healthy cycle."
"Instead of being looted by the Americans and becoming another dead soul under paraquat."
"If you can do this, you will become the greatest football practitioner in the history of Europe... bar none!"
