Yang Huan once heard of a very interesting piece.
The Americans say that I am the biggest in the world, so I can hit whoever I want. The British say that I am the second child.
The French said that I would hit whoever hits me, and the Japanese said that whoever hits me, I let the American father hit whoever.
Although this is a paragraph, it is a very interesting spoof of the current world situation.
The United States is dominated by one family. This is an obvious thing. They can even threaten that everything that happens on this earth is under their control, so they are given the nickname, the world police.
However, football plays an exception consciously or unconsciously.
Since the subprime mortgage crisis, although the government has proposed a plan to return to the manufacturing industry, in fact, everyone knows that this is just a slogan, and the U.S. government is equally aware, so they have been actively looking for any means to stimulate economic recovery. Among them is the sports industry, which has high hopes.
In the United States, the scale of the sports industry is quite large, and the business model is also very mature. It generates approximately US$500 billion in market value every year and drives a large number of employees.
The nfl rugby league, nba professional basketball league, mlb professional baseball league and nhl hockey league are known as the four major professional leagues in the United States. fans comprise nearly 70% of Americans.
However, football, as the world's largest sport, has only just started in the United States.
This can be said to be a major flaw in the American sports industry, but it can also be reversed. This is a major opportunity.
Revitalizing the American football industry has become a major decision of the US government. Even in 2010, they proposed a plan for revitalizing the American football industry and simultaneously bid for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. Host right.
This is not only related to football, because when the US government put forward the plan, it also proposed a complete set of solutions including urban hardware construction and investment.
In other words, this is far beyond the scope of football.
So at that time, dozens of cities in the United States submitted bids at the same time, and the number of cities shortlisted for the first time was as high as 18, all of which were famous big cities in the world.
At the same time, on the other side of the Atlantic, Britain also encountered the European debt crisis and economic downturn. They also proposed to use the football industry to revitalize the British economy. Therefore, they also proposed a package of revitalization plans to bid for the World Cup.
Therefore, the world leader and his second child in his class had a plan at home, so, let's not beat ourselves up, 21 plus five, the United Kingdom bid for 2018, and the United States bid for 2022. That's it.
It sounds a lot like Spain and Portugal split the east and the west.
But what's terrible is that the way they deal with international affairs is put in the world of football, but it doesn't work at all.
When the rights to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups were announced, the Americans and British were stunned.
Nimei’s, the 2018 World Cup didn’t give me the face of Lao Ying, but it was returned to Russia?
Don’t you FIFA know that we are sanctioning Russia?
Also, it was given to Qatar, a small country in the Middle East in 2022?
I rub, my family is counting on the World Cup to revitalize, you actually gave the local tyrant in Qatar?
What is even more humiliating is that when voting for the hosting rights of the 2018 World Cup, the United Kingdom only got two votes, one of which was voted for itself, and it was crying!
The United States was even more miserable, eight to fourteen. The four European votes that were originally settled in advance were also given to Qatar. It was really a mess.
At this time, Lao Mei and Lao Ying became angry.
Usually only our two brothers play people, who can play us?
What's even more hateful is that even if you play one, we still played with our brothers!
It's really unbearable uncle and aunt!
As a result, the United States and the British became angry, and the FIFA corruption officially kicked off!
In the whole thing, Blatter was actually quite depressed.
The emperor of international football has always been accustomed to playing prestige in his own one-third of acre, only admitting benefits but not people, but all this, he obviously offends people who he simply can't afford.
Regardless of whether he is out of personal gain, or he wants to use this method to flaunt FIFA's detachment, anyway, this time he is playing himself.
From the standpoint of Qatar and Russia, they are the most worrying.
Especially Qatar.
Russia’s World Cup is 2018, and only three short years have passed. Russia hastily eliminated Russia and no one can take over. Therefore, Russia’s World Cup should be no problem.
But Qatar is not necessarily.
This is why Prime Minister Hamad and the Qatar government are so worried.
What if the American daddy really grabs the right to host the 2022 World Cup when he comes along?
Originally, in Qatar's view, it would be good if Platini could be elected as the president of FIFA.
But from the current situation, things seem to have exceeded everyone's imagination.
With Blatter's downfall, Platini may not be spared.
This was something Yang Huan had never imagined before.
This time the muddy water got more and more confused, and even Platini got stuck.
Even Yang Huan had to admit that he had indeed miscalculated.
However, after hearing Prime Minister Hamad’s worries, Yang Huan shook his head again, "Even if Platini is finished, what about it?"
"What do you mean?" Hamad was a little confused.
Yang Huan smiled and shook his head, "UEFA has already made second-hand preparations. If something happens to Platini, they will push Secretary General Gianni Infantino to come forward, he is a Swiss. He was born as a lawyer, and his anti-corruption and anti-gambling efforts in European football in recent years have been very impressive, so..."
When Prime Minister Hamad heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Isn't it the corruption problem that FIFA is facing now?
At this time, a neutral and at the same time a resolute Swiss lawyer is just right to be the chairman of FIFA?
More importantly, although Infantini is a spare tire and not much famous, I am afraid that few people will have an opinion on him. Even in the eyes of Americans, the Swiss will be in charge rather than the Middle East, It’s much better for people from Africa, South America and other regions to take charge?
At least, that's a white European, okay?
"Gianni Infantino..." Prime Minister Hamad said the name, completely strange.
"Who?" He asked his precious son beside him.
Hamad, the little prince of the Middle East, also shook his head, I don't know.
Prime Minister Hamad almost slapped him. What about you?
You are all going to the European football game, why are you so much behind the other Huan Master?
Look at Master Huan, how capable and capable?
If you have half of Young Master Huan, then I will save more worry!
"Gianni Infantino is the host of every UEFA Champions League draw, that bald head!" Yang Huan said with a smile.
He also had a good relationship with Infantino, which, in the final analysis, was drawn from Platini's line.
Now UEFA and Platini have the same attitude. If Platini can run, he will come forward and UEFA will fully support Platini.
But if the situation is not right and Platini is unable to stand for election, then concentrate all resources and fully support Infantino.
Yang Huan has a good relationship with Infantino, and of course he is happy to see it happen.
Anyway, no matter who is elected, there is nothing wrong with us Chinese, so it is better to just think about how to make profits.
Although there will also be candidates from Asia, such as Prince Ali, Yang Huan knows very well that the election of people from West Asia and the Middle East will not benefit East Asia at all. On the contrary, it will even be very detrimental.
For a long time, the internal power struggle of the AFC has never stopped, which has led to very internal disunity, and even divided into two major factions in East Asia and West Asia. Prince Ali belongs to the West Asia faction.
In order to run for FIFA president with Blatter, Prince Ali tried every means to win UEFA, but as a result, Blatter won most of the votes in Asia and Africa, which has almost given him a chance to win.
All in all, the struggle here is not just divided by simple regions, but more complicated.
In Yang Huan's view, if there are Chinese people involved, he will definitely support it, but since there is not, between Gianni Infantino and Ali, he certainly chooses the former.
"Master Huan, do you mean that Infantino will replace Platini?"
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "This is double insurance!"
"Then the 2022 World Cup..."
You know, the emperor has already released a ruthless talk. There is a great momentum to use aircraft carriers and missiles to defend the right to host the World Cup. Therefore, the right to host the 2018 World Cup should be no problem.
Who has a bad brain and is going to fight with Russia?
But in 2022, first, there is still a long time to prepare, and secondly, Qatar doesn't have much right to speak, it is bullied, and dare not say much. Isn't this the best punching bag for killing chickens and monkeys?
Yang Huan knew exactly what Hamad’s Prime Minister and the Qatar government thought.
To be honest, Qatar is nothing in front of big countries like the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom.
"In July this year, the North American Gold Cup will be held in the United States. In the past 24 years, the Gold Cup has been held for twelve times. Eleven of them have been held in the United States. This time, the United States has launched a total of 13 games. city."
"In July next year, the South American Football Association’s major launch of the Centennial America’s Cup will invite 16 South American teams to participate, surpassing the 12 of the America’s Cup. The venue will also leave South America to 10 cities in the United States. To hold it."
"2017 will be the North American Gold Cup again, and at the end of July each year is our International Champions Cup and a series of other matching warm-up matches. Therefore, in the next few years, the football boom in the United States will become more and more Soaring."
Hearing what Master Huan said, Prime Minister Hamad trembled.
what does this mean?
According to what Young Master Huan said, does it mean that the United States is very interested in the 2022 World Cup?
You must know that if the right to host the World Cup in Qatar is declared illegal in 2016, there will still be six years of preparation time for the United States by 2022, which is completely sufficient for the United States.
This is also fully in line with the United States' past, present, and future football revitalization strategy.
But for Qatar, UU reading www.uukānshu.com is a disaster.
In order to bid for the World Cup, they paid so much, invested so much money in the construction of the World Cup venues, and other supporting facilities. If the World Cup does not come, then everything they have will be a waste of water?
But for this, Qatar has nothing to do.
Because things have completely gone beyond their expectations.
It should be said that since the United States and Britain strongly intervened in FIFA, things have been out of control.
They are now hard to protect themselves!
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Hamad really panicked.
Because he knew very well that, as a small country in the Middle East, Qatar could not stop it at all, unless...
Prime Minister Hamad immediately raised his head and looked at Young Master Yang Huan where the old was.
