Chapter 828 Milestones

The highly anticipated 2010 World Cup finally officially kicked off in South Africa, with 32 teams starting a one-month hot schedule.

As a columnist of the Guardian of England, Gao Han accompanied his wife and children to appear in South Africa, running around major World Cup stadiums, with a column every day to comment on the performance of each World Cup game. In his spare time, he took his wife and children to travel around.

Since his coaching experience spreads across four major leagues, Gao Han's disciples also appear on all fronts of the World Cup. Therefore, as long as Gao Han can catch up and take time, he will personally supervise the battle. If he is too late, he will definitely watch the live broadcast or broadcast. The comments in the column try to remain objective and neutral.

As the most influential head coach in football today, Gao Han’s column entry point is often sharper and more in-depth than others. Commenting on the arrangement of troops in each game and the on-the-spot performance of the players also brings people a sense of novelty. Although his column was published in the British Guardian, it is reprinted in media and newspapers around the world.

Only in China, only my wife Lin Xia's website and application have obtained exclusive reprint rights.

Not only Gao Han's column, Lin Xia's company also won columns for European celebrities such as Aragonese and Cruyff, as well as columns for famous reporters such as Green Wald, Martin Samuel and Javier Matayana. In addition, timely tracking and reporting made her website and applications a hit during the World Cup.

The entire World Cup schedule left the deepest impression on Gao Han was Lov's Germany and Bielsa's Chile.

The former is based on Gao Han's players during his coaching at Bayern Munich, and formed a team with strong ball control ability, smooth playing style, and also holding high the offensive football flag. It is like a reborn German national team. It is not old, but its playing style and strength are refreshing. Although it only won the third place in the end, the future is promising.

Gao Han even commented in the column that Lou's team is walking on a correct and smooth road. As long as you continue to follow this road, with the current and future talent reserves of German football, Germany will definitely be one of the strongest and most powerful contenders for various championships in the future world football.

As for Bielsa's Chile, Gao Han's evaluation is also quite high. He believes that the Argentine madman interprets his focus and madness in football in Chile and plays a refreshing offensive football. Although he has stopped in the quarterfinals, it is impressive.

On the contrary, Gao Han expressed some disappointment for the two traditional strong teams, Brazil and Argentina. He believed that neither Dunga nor Maradona fully stimulated the strength of these two teams, especially for Maradona's use of Otamendi. Gao Han expressed even more disappointment.

Otamendi is the most optimistic supernova before this World Cup, and has attracted the attention of many giant teams. Some media even revealed that once he performs well in the World Cup, Real Madrid and Barcelona will pay him a penalty and take him away from Chinatown.

But unexpectedly, during the World Cup, Maradona moved Otamendi, who was originally playing as a central defender, to the right side, which resulted in the highly favored rookie performing extremely poorly in the World Cup field and being criticized by fans.

But for Chinatown, this is somewhat a blessing in disguise.

That is, after the World Cup, several giant teams that were pursuing Otamendi, including Real Madrid, all retreated and continued to wait and see.

The World Cup ended with Spain defeating the Netherlands 1-0 in overtime, Uruguayan striker Diego Fran won the Golden Globe Award with five goals, Bayern Munich rookie Thomas Muller won the Golden Boot Award and Best Rookie, and Spanish national team captain Casillas won the Golden Glove Award.

Ram, Ramos, Schweinsteiger, Thomas Muller and Villa, five disciples, were selected for the eleven-man roster of the World Cup, and Boske was elected as the Best Head Coach.

But if we want to talk about the biggest winner of this World Cup, it must be Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez, who played for Ajax. Although he only scored three goals, his performance was quite outstanding. He formed the Uruguay trident with Cavani and Diego Fran, leading Uruguay to the semi-finals all the way.

But it is precisely because of the brilliant performance in the World Cup that Suarez's value has also soared. Ajax repeatedly stated that it is not a product, and private market rumors that Suarez's transfer fee will exceed 60 million euros, which discourages many giant teams. After all, Suarez has not proved himself in the top league yet.

What's more, in recent years, the scorers from the Netherlands have often found it difficult to adapt to the top leagues. For example, Kezerman, Kuyt and Hunteral. The lessons of the three predecessors all make people doubt Suarez's future.

As soon as the World Cup came to an end, European football once again became the focus of the world football world.

When Spain won the World Cup championship from South Africa and returned to Europe, a news from the government shocked the entire Spanish football world.

Spanish Sports Secretary and President of the Supreme Sports Council, Lisaviski, formally signed an order requiring all La Liga teams not to sign broadcast contracts that last more than three years.

This order was not paid attention to by the outside world, and even media reports were just mentioned, but it caused a huge earthquake in the Spanish professional football circle, because the spearhead of the order was directly directed at the two giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and directly terminated the contract renewal negotiations between them and Pioneer Media.

This immediately triggered a strong backlash from Real Madrid and Barcelona. The two giants expressed dissatisfaction with the government's intervention, believing that the club has the power to decide on the broadcasting rights to auction the broadcasting rights and the government has no right to interfere.

But the reactions of the two giants immediately attracted strong counterattacks from other La Liga teams.

The first to ignite the war was Atletico Madrid general manager Hill, who publicly bombarded Real Madrid and Barcelona in the media as a thief and stole the interests of other teams.

"A football match will always be played by two teams. It is not the two giants that maintain the prosperity of the La Liga, but the other 18 teams. If Real Madrid and Barcelona think that without our 18 teams, they can continue their current glory, then I suggest that they can form a new league by themselves."

After Hill Jr., Chinatown general manager Armando Marcos also publicly accused the two giant teams of exploitation by Chilulu in an interview with Sel Radio Dela Morena, which is very unfair to other teams.

In addition to clearly introducing the unfair distribution of La Liga broadcast rights to the audience, Armando Marcos also fought back against Real Madrid's poaching of Chinatown, believing that the reason why Real Madrid is rich is to poach four Chinese City players in one go is because Chinatown's annual broadcast rights are less than one-tenth of the other party.

"You can imagine that their annual broadcast fee income of La Liga alone is more than 130 million more than ours. What do we use to compete with them? Isn't it easy for them to poach our players? Do you think this is a competitive landscape that a healthy league should have?"

Armando Marcos also issued an initiative on the show, believing that the Premier League should be followed by a more fair and just distribution model, unified sales of broadcasting rights, increase the income of mid- and downstream teams, and activate the league's competitive mechanism.

"Unified distribution does not mean equalizing the wealth. In fact, we can see that the strong teams in the Premier League are still very strong. After adopting the distribution model of the Premier League, all teams will greatly encourage competition at the level of commercial development, which will have a good driving effect on the promotion of La Liga."

The general manager of Chinatown also secretly hinted that some teams should not be allowed to overtake other teams for a long time, which would definitely be harmful and no benefit to the overall development of the league.

After Hill Jr. and Armando Marcos, many La Liga teams including Valencia, Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao also stood up and publicly accused Real Madrid and Barcelona of the unfair distribution of La Liga broadcast rights. Sevilla chairman Del Nido once again shouted fierce remarks about expelling the two giants from the La Liga.

Faced with the surging crowds of the other eighteen teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona also chose to deal with it silently. They are still very clear about the reason why public anger is difficult to violate.

It was at this time that the Spanish Professional League Vice Chairman Javier Tebas Medrano officially held a press conference and publicly stated that the Spanish Professional League had received calls from many La Liga teams and would organize a meeting in the near future to discuss the distribution of the broadcast rights of the La Liga.

"This is an old topic that has plagued Spanish professional football for ten years. In the past decade, we have been repeatedly emphasizing and repeating this topic almost every year, but we have never found an effective solution."

"Now, I think the time is ripe, and it is time for us to change the current La Liga pattern. We must take the initiative to make some changes that are in line with the development of modern football, otherwise we will be pulled further and further by our competitors."

At the press conference, Javier Tebasse also said without any concealment in an interview with the media that the two giant teams split half of the broadcast fees of La Liga.

"Yes, there is no doubt that they are the most influential teams in La Liga and even the world, but are they going to give them such privileges because of this? Are the two teams playing football themselves? Are the other eighteen teams not contributing to the league?"

Javier Tebasse also acknowledged the media's inquiries about whether the Professional League had already held meetings with eighteen other teams and formed a tacit understanding of unified action, but he believed that this was a choice that he had to make.

"We can see that the situation and operations of the mid- and lower-level teams in La Liga are becoming increasingly difficult. Chinatown ranked eighth in La Liga last season, but how much is their broadcast fee income? More than 10 million euros, do you know what this concept is?"

"Portsmouth, the relegated team in the Premier League last season, is going to play in the Championship this season, and the Premier League has given them a parachute protection fund. This money is higher than Chinatown's broadcast fee income. Do you think this is reasonable?"

I have to say that Javier Tebasse is also good at grammar.

The reason why Chinatown suffered such a loss in broadcasting fees has a lot to do with the poor broadcasting environment at home, but in the mouth of the professional league chairman, this has become a strong evidence for the mid- and lower-level teams in La Liga to gain sympathy.

Of course, even if the broadcast conditions are good, Chinatown's income is far less than that of the Premier League relegated team Portsmouth.

Javier Tebasse's press conference immediately caused an uproar in Spanish football, European football, and even the whole world. Everyone clearly saw that the eighteen teams led by the professional league are finally going to launch a revolutionary horn to the Spanish Football Association and the two giant teams.
