I Want to Be the King of Football

When Real Madrid’s representative Butragueno from the venue of the Champions League final opened the ball that was just drawn, took out the note with Manchester United’s name in it, turned it over, and showed it to the live broadcast, Su Dong felt his surroundings. The atmosphere is a bit solemn.

Indeed, this is not a good sign!

This year's Champions League quarter-finals are actually quite unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, you will find it understandable.

The first is that many strong teams have fallen.

Strong teams such as Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Liverpool fell in the group stage, while Real Madrid, ACX Milan, Chelsea and Porto stopped in the top sixteen. This made the Champions League quarter-finals such as Bordeaux and CSKA Moscow. team.

The reason for this situation comes from the loss of players transferred in the summer.

In the eyes of Bayern players, whether it is Bordeaux or CSKA Moscow, or Lyon who eliminated Real Madrid, they are all very good targets, but Bayern successfully avoided these three teams and avoided the less powerful ones. Arsenal and Inter Milan have drawn Manchester United, which is really good luck.

In turn, Lyon met Bordeaux and CSKA Moscow met Inter Milan. Is this pure coincidence?

Sure enough, as soon as the result of the draw was released, Bayern's players were questioned, thinking that this was another UEFA "conspiracy".

Since Platini came to power in 2007, such controversies have been endless. Every year there are several teams with very good luck in this draw, such as Bordeaux, who met Olympiacos this year, and Seville. CSKA Moscow.

It's not that Bordeaux and Sevilla, or CSKA Moscow and other teams are not strong, but that they can always avoid giants and strong teams. This really has to call people to report conspiracy theories.

This can be a coincidence every year, but is it a coincidence every year?

Bayern drew Manchester United, and the players all complained that there was something tricky in the draw.

But who knows?

…

Su Dong is not a conspiracy theorist, but he is more and more aware of the changes brought by Platini.

In other words, the sense of tearing.

Platini is a legendary superstar. After Beckenbauer and Cruyff, before Maradona, Platini is the number one star in European football. The three consecutive Golden Globes are his biggest. Of honor.

After retiring, he began to run for the 1998 World Cup in France, and therefore contacted FIFA President Blatter. After the success of the French World Cup, he successfully entered the FIFA position, and later used the French Football Association as a springboard. , Entered UEFA, and defeated Johansson in 2007 and was elected UEFA president.

In the 2007 UEFA presidential election that attracted worldwide attention, Platini fully demonstrated his characteristics as an apprentice of Blatter.

As we all know, Blatter’s ability to sit firmly as the chairman of FIFA is not recognized by the football powers. On the contrary, his relationship with UEFA is very, very bad, but he has gained the recognition of many backward countries such as Asia, Africa and Latin America. Yes, Blatter is as stable as a mountain in the one-person-one-vote game.

The same is true for Platini. Within UEFA, he has received the support of many middle and lower leagues and countries, so he defeated Johansson in the ballot, but what followed was that he was elected as a middle and lower class. Representative, Platini must fulfill his promise and serve his vote.

As a result, a series of policies such as Champions League quotas, tricky draws, fiscal fairness... are all derived from this.

It can be said that Platini represented the middle and lower classes from the beginning, so he and G14 became a rival. However, this duel ended with the dissolution of G14, but the struggle for interests continues.

Not long ago, a well-known British football journalist criticized Platini’s fiscal fairness policy, thinking that he was stifling the possibility of a counterattack by mid- and lower-level teams, which would only lead to the strong ones being strong and the weak being weak. Curing.

He cited the examples of Chelsea and Manchester City. Both of these teams are regarded as the teams most affected by the fiscal fairness policy, because they are purely dependent on the investment of the boss, and on the books of the club, the investment of the boss is all Calculating liabilities, not financing, causes these teams to make ends meet.

This reporter believes that in the era of free market economy, the willingness of capital to invest proves that they are optimistic about the market. They think they can profit from it. Otherwise, who would invest?

And UEFA’s fiscal fairness policy prevents them from investing. Under this policy, a team like Manchester City will never be able to get ahead because they can’t afford a star, and they don’t have a star. What can they do to fight against the giants?

Top giants like Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona don’t need to do anything. They just need to continue to generate revenue in the global market, and then wave money and buy their favorite players all over the world. This will ensure that they will always stand on top of the football world. .

And a team like Manchester City, limited by financial income, can never keep up with these giants, and will never be able to succumb to them. Even if they occasionally score, the talents they train will be quickly wiped out.

Therefore, this reporter criticized Platini, thinking that his fiscal fairness policy is anti-free market economy, and it is contrary to Platini's previous position and policy, which looks more like a big team. A compromise.

Su Dong felt this kind of tearing.

On the one hand, Platini is standing on the side of the middle and lower reaches of the countries and teams, suppressing the powerful giants; on the other hand, Platini has introduced policies to restrict the middle and lower reaches of the teams and shake the foundation of the giants. possibility.

For Platini, for UEFA, for the giants, for the nouveau riche like Manchester City, all the media, fans, and even players, the reaction is very contradictory.

More just look at his position, where he sits, to decide whether they support, oppose or bombard.

Just like now, Bayern's players complained about the Champions League knockout draw, believing that there are conspiracies and tricks.

But in fact, what they are bombarding is conspiracy, is it tricky?

no.

What they bombarded was that they failed to profit from conspiracy and trickery!

As for whether there is a conspiracy, whether it is really tricky, it doesn't really matter anymore.

Su Dong always felt that there would be another big problem for this kind of tearing.

Professional football is a pyramid. Don't listen to the fans. How many years of old fan you are, how to die loyal, not to say that there is no, but very few, the vast majority of fans are advocating the strongest.

This has led to the strongest team, the strongest player, attracting the most eyeballs in the world.

But Platini's policy is suppressing these strongest teams, will they be willing?

Will not!

G14 is disbanded, and they can form G18 or even G20 again.

As long as it is profitable, these top teams will sooner or later reorganize, and they will start a revolution.

Su Dong is regarded as a vested interest in the current system, but as a player, in fact, he can change very few things.

In Barcelona, ​​no matter how good he performs, his historical status will not be higher than Cruyff, or even Guardiola. It is estimated that he will be similar to Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, etc., at best. Taller.

The same is true at Bayern. What does he take to surpass Beckenbauer, Rummenigge and Hoeness? Even Ged Muller is firmly on top of him.

Su Dong clearly knows that in these giant teams, no matter how good he plays, it is only a page in their glorious history. At best, it is a relatively shining page and can be listed in the Hall of Fame, but that's it.

Go to Manchester United? To Real Madrid?

It is repeating the past of Barcelona and Bayern.

He wants to go to a team that can become a unique existence in history!

Not a rich family?

It doesn't matter, he goes, and he will eventually become a giant!

This is what Su Dong can think of. As a professional player, in the current situation of European football, he can do the best!

Virgo's perfectionism complex makes him unwilling to share with others, he wants to monopolize.

…

After the results of the quarter-finals draw, Bayern met Manchester United, and the semi-finals will meet the victors of Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow, and Barcelona will meet Arsenal, and the semi-finals will be the victors of Lyon and Bordeaux.

This creates a possibility that the top favorite to win the championship and Barcelona, ​​the second favorite to win the championship, will meet again in the Champions League final.

In the history of UEFA Champions League football, no two teams have met in the UEFA Champions League final for two consecutive years.

If it happened this year, it would be the first time in history.

Bayern are Sudong, Ribery and Robben, and Barcelona are Messi, Ibrahimovic and Eto'o.

Barcelona are even better in midfield, while Bayern's defense is more stable.

However, in order to create this history, both teams will have to go through hardships and obstacles, especially Bayern, who has bad luck in the draw.

First of all, we must first cross the hurdle of Manchester United.

...

...

On the afternoon of March 20th, in the 27th round of the Bundesliga at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, Bayern played away to Frankfurt.

Only five minutes into the game, Modric sent a cross from the right.

On the right side of the front of the big penalty area, Robben leaked the ball and let the ball pass directly into the big penalty area diagonally.

Su Dong quickly countered offside and jumped in. After stopping the ball to the right of the penalty spot, he caught up and volleyed again, breaking Frankfurt's goal.

One to zero!

But in the final stage of the game, taking advantage of Bayern's reserve for the semi-final of the German Cup in midweek, Frankfurt suddenly launched a fierce attack.

The teenager Alaba, who replaced Marcelo, made a mistake when returning to the goalkeeper. After being intercepted by the opponent, he scored.

One to one!

In the end, Bayern drew with Frankfurt in an away game.

Alaba received a lot of doubts after the game, but the young player's debut was still recognized to a certain extent, especially the Bayern first team, who gave him a good evaluation and believed that he has enough outstanding potential.

Of course, it is still very difficult for Alaba, who is only 17 years old, to directly play the main force.

At least before him, Contento and Badstuber were both very powerful contenders for the left-back position.

Not to mention that Marcelo's performance in recent years is getting better and better, and his progress is getting bigger and bigger. He has received the attention of many giants including Real Madrid.

In the next nineteen days, Bayern will usher in six tough games, including the German Cup and the Champions League quarterfinals, which are undoubtedly huge challenges.

After playing in Frankfurt, Su Dong accepted media interviews in accordance with the club's arrangements. He publicly expressed his confidence in the strength of the team.

"Among my teammates, some want to win the league championship, some want the German Cup, some want the Champions League, and I want to win all three championships!"

"Our goal is still the Triple Crown!"
