Chapter 387 The anti-corruption storm is coming! The football emperor and Santa Claus are fighting! [A big chapter with ten thousand words, please beg me to subscribe]

In a luxurious suite of a five-star hotel near the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, UEFA President Platini was furious.

He was very angry about what had happened recently.

First, some British media pointed out that he met with people from Qatar at the French presidential palace before bidding for the World Cup.

This incident was very unfavorable to him in public opinion, but in fact, it had little impact on him.

They are all in the inner circle of football. Who hasn’t taken care of the interests of their own country?

In this regard, although Platini was very angry, it was still controllable.

But the news revealed by the BBC that he received 200 million Swiss francs from Blatter is really serious.

This is no longer an uncontrollable issue.

This damn thing directly overturned the table, completely cutting off Platini's escape route.

After a little research, it was immediately found that Zheng Mengzhun was indeed in Europe a few days ago, but recently returned to South Korea.

For example, Secretary General Gianni Infantino started working for UEFA in 2000. In 04, he was promoted to legal director and took on first-line football work. In 07, he joined forces with Platini to overthrow the UEFA governing body. Johansson, a Swede who has been with the federation for 17 years, takes office as vice-president and secretary-general of UEFA.

As a veteran who has been around UEFA for many years, he certainly knows the ropes.

He knew very well that once this matter was confirmed, it would be corruption and bribery.

Small amounts are very simple, large amounts are in various names.

Others didn't know it, but Platini knew in his heart that he had just tricked Zheng Mengzhun.

No one would take money from UEFA and FIFA in such a simple and crude manner. It is all a clever excuse.

In the past few years, everyone, whether Blatter, Platini, or even Johansson before, has done this.

"They said the source was authentic."

Except for Hagmeister, who had just arrived, all the people present were human beings.

But how did Zheng Mengzhun know that Blatter sent this money to Platini?
Platini couldn't figure this out.

As for Lablatt going into the water, this seems more like a fish-or-death act.

"I checked with people at the BBC in the UK and they kept the source of the intelligence secret and refused to disclose it."

Mainly because he met with Blatter at the FIFA headquarters, but it is said that when he left, he looked very unhappy and was obviously very unhappy.

In the end, there was only one name left in his mind.

Naturally, news travels back and forth very quickly.

Sponsors have their own interests at heart, and so does UEFA.

Blatter is also unlikely to make a big deal about it.

"I said it." Martin Hagmeister replied, but he looked a little embarrassed.

Platini realized that this matter must be settled as soon as possible.

"I'm contacting you through other channels to see if I can find out where the news came from."

Platini glanced at the young subordinate he promoted and said solemnly, "This is slander and a complete rumor. Tell the BBC that you must clarify and apologize to me, otherwise I will sue." them!"

Zheng Meng is right!
"Has Zheng Mengzhun been in Europe recently?" Platini asked suddenly.

"What did they say?"

Coming from a top superstar background, Platini has a very outstanding quality, that is, the more critical moments come, the easier it is for him to calm down.

Source, authentic and reliable?
Who gives the BBC confidence?
When FIFA sent him the money, only a handful of people knew about it.

So the question is, who among those who know will expose it?
Moreover, after being exposed, the BBC must believe that he is true and reliable, so this person is not simple.

Unlike Infantino, he has been in this position since 05 and is a professional rather than a bureaucrat.

From the current point of view, various signs indicate that Zheng Meng is the most suspicious person.

Basically, they regard UEFA and FIFA as their own cash machines. Whatever they want to do, they get their money from UEFA.

But it's okay.

In the world of professional football, the most important thing is profit.

Because UEFA and FIFA are both in Switzerland, the distance between Nyon and Zurich is not too far, and many officials even work bilaterally, so there are very frequent contacts.

"This is slander! I did receive a sum of 200 million Swiss francs from FIFA, but it was not a bribe given to me by Blatter, but what I deserved during my tenure at FIFA from 98 to 02. salary.”

"Check, check it right away. Where did the news from the BBC come from?" The Frenchman was very excited, and even looked a little ferocious.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Platini, wanting to know whether this matter was true or false?
Platini naturally felt the eyes of everyone around him and also noticed their concern.

The person who answered Platini was UEFA's media official, 35-year-old German Martin Hagmeister, who only officially joined the UEFA media department in January this year.

This made him instinctively feel that Zheng Mengzhun should know that Platini did it, so he took revenge.

Platini went through them one by one in his mind, using the elimination method, and it was easy to eliminate them one by one.

The speaker was the Belgian, UEFA marketing director Peter Williams.

The accounts don’t need to be made public anyway, so what’s the problem?
"Public opinion on this matter is fermenting very quickly now, and sponsors are also very concerned."

Anyway, the dream of running for FIFA president is shattered, and even serving in FIFA is difficult.

If that's the case, then just turn the table over!
Hemp egg!

That old guy Blatter is really going back as he gets older.

He didn't even get Zheng Mengquan right, and it caused such a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Platini felt suddenly enlightened.

Similar things have happened many times in the history of UEFA and FIFA.

The final result is nothing.

Public opinion comes and goes quickly.

……

While Platini convened a meeting with his subordinates in Nyon to discuss and analyze the situation, Blatter called Zheng Mongzhun in the FIFA headquarters office in Zurich.

When the Koreans received Blatter's call, they thought it was Blatter who had changed his mind. First he cried with blood and tears, but after hearing Blatter's inquiry, he was completely stunned.

"I didn't, really, I swear!"

But at this time, the oath became extremely pale and weak.

Bratt told Zheng Mengzhun very rudely on the phone that he would investigate the matter clearly.

"Better not let me know who it is!"

After hanging up the phone from Zheng Mengzhun angrily, Brat rubbed his brow and sat behind his desk.

In front of him was his right-hand man, the Belgian François de Kelsmaker.

The 53-year-old Kelsmaker has served on the referee committee of the Belgian Football Association since 80, when he was only 22 years old. He began to serve as the vice-president of the Belgian Football Association in 85, and has risen steadily since then.

From the Belgian Football Association to UEFA, and then from UEFA to FIFA.

Today, he holds three very important positions as President of the Belgian Football Association, Vice President of UEFA and Legal Director of FIFA.

Jerome Valcke is even younger, only 40 years old. In 03, he was recruited by Blatter to join FIFA as the marketing director. In 07, he replaced Swiss Urs Linsi as FIFA secretary-general.

It can almost be said that these two people are Blatter's most trusted arms in FIFA.

"The whole thing fermented very quickly. As soon as the BBC reported it, all major British media followed up, and it spread all over the world. In the Internet age, we were simply too late to respond!" Kelsmaker was very depressed. said.

From the time the news came out to now, it has only been a few hours, and it has fermented too quickly.

This is the challenge posed by the Internet.

So how do clubs and football associations usually respond to such incidents?

Many media outlets often talk to the person involved before breaking the news. This is a very common negative news in clubs that suppresses players.

Of course, there will definitely be some exchange of interests involved.

So does FIFA.

But this time, the BBC didn't even let FIFA know.

This also stems from the poor relationship between Britain and FIFA.

Since Britain lost to Russia in the competition for the right to host the 2018 World Cup, the British media has been biting FIFA like a mad dog, with all kinds of news and revelations emerging one after another.

Who would believe that there is no support and promotion from official forces behind this?

But Blatter actually didn't pay attention to these.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to being in control, especially in his football empire.

"The most important thing right now is to find out who revealed the information first." Kelsmaker reminded.

Only by knowing where the leak source comes from can we know how to stop it.

"What did Zheng Mengzhun say?" Secretary-General Valk asked with concern.

Bratt shook his head. "He denied it."

"What do you think?" Valk looked at Bratt and asked again.

"How did he know about this? And, even if he knew, would he have the courage to say it?"

Blatter paused and then continued: "The actions they made when they applied for the 02 World Cup were no less than Qatar now. Even Japan was very dissatisfied with them. Zheng Mengzhun knew it in his heart."

Japan was actually the first to apply for hosting the Korea-Japan World Cup, but later Korea stepped in and Chung Mong-joon's operation played a very key role, so it eventually became a joint venture between Korea and Japan.

Japan is still very dissatisfied with this.

Especially later, South Korea entered the World Cup semi-finals in that way, which made Japan, the host country, very embarrassed.

From now on, whenever the World Cup is mentioned in Korea and Japan, what comes to mind is the shamelessness of the hosts!
Who is willing to take the blame?

After Valk thought about it for a while, he looked at Bratt and asked tentatively: "Do you want me to ask Chuck Blazer?"

Chuck Blazer, the old man of FIFA.

This bloated American looks exactly like Santa Claus, and he was once a close collaborator with Blatter.

The 66-year-old American started out as a button merchant. In the mid-70s, he saw the development potential of football and began working in the United States Soccer Federation.

During this period, he successively promoted world-class stars such as Pele, Beckenbauer, and Cruyff to play in the United States, driving the development of American football and becoming a boss of the United States Football Association.

In the 90s, he first joined forces with Jack Warner, the then chairman of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association, to create the current CONCACAF Gold Cup, which brought great success to the CONCACAF Football Association. Economy Profit.

According to statistics, the revenue of the regional football association increased sevenfold that year, and Blazer and Werner became famous since then.

In the professional football system, no one would reject a money-making expert who is good at making money.

As a result, Blazer and Werner rose to great heights, rapidly promoted under the FIFA system, and became Blatter's right-hand man.

During this period, Blazer's greatest contribution to FIFA was the Confederations Cup.

The success of this cup competition completely made the American Blatter's confidant.

During this period, Blazer also participated in the bids for the 98 World Cup in France, the 02 World Cup in Korea and Japan, the 06 World Cup in Germany and the 10 World Cup in South Africa.

All of these have allowed him to step into the core of FIFA's power.

But at the end of last year, during the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids, Chuck Blazer and Blatter completely fell out.

In the 2018 World Cup bid, Chuck Blazer supported Russia. He also visited Russia in August 2010, received an interview with the Russian President, and participated in all preparations for the bid for hosting rights.

It was also during the meeting here that Blazer personally promised that he would help Russia win the qualification to host the World Cup.

In the 2022 World Cup bid, Blazer supported the United States.

With this bid, Chuck Blazer completely became a celebrity in the United States and became well-known among political and business celebrities. He even became a core figure in the World Cup bidding team together with former President Clinton.

Blazer also vowed that he must help his motherland win the right to host this time.

Prior to this, he had already received commitments from Platini, Blatter and others.

What he didn't expect was that at the last moment, both Platini and Blatter "betrayed" him and chose the Qataris.

This makes the US government, which is bent on using the 2022 World Cup to launch a round of infrastructure construction and stimulate the domestic economy, very dissatisfied with this, and Blazer's image and status have also plummeted.

Since so many resources have been invested and the bid has not been successful, someone must be responsible for this.

Blazer is the first to bear the brunt.

Half a year has passed, but Chuck Blazer often calls to harass Valcke and even Bratt. There are some disrespectful words in his words, and the alliance of more than 20 years has completely broken down.

In the past six months, Blaze has been like a mad dog, constantly taking revenge on everyone.

For example, AFC President Bin Hammam, a Qatari, wanted to participate in the FIFA election. However, he was reported for bribery during the campaign, which led to bin Hammam's failure in the election.

Many senior CONCACAF officials, including Chairman Jack Warner, who accepted bribes from Ben Harman, were all forced to resign under pressure from public opinion.

The person who reported them was the American John Collins, the lawyer representing the Central and North American Football Association.

It was also revealed that after the US FBI failed to bid for the World Cup, it launched an investigation into the economic conditions of FIFA and CONCACAF, including the match-fixing scandal in the just-concluded 2011 Gold Cup.

Because of this, Chuck Blazer is now a stranger to Blatter and no longer works in FIFA.

Bratt and others had never thought of him before.

But when Valcke said this, Bratt couldn't help but think of it.

Now, there are many people who want to bring him down, and Blazer is one of them.

Bratt felt a headache.

He knew very well that now, his empire was no longer impregnable.

In fact, the situation is beginning to appear unsustainable.

Zheng Mengzhen? Chuck Blazer? Or someone else?
Bratt really didn't know and couldn't think of it.

But one thing, he can be sure, he will not sit still and wait for death!

……

Yang Hao just set a fire and let it burn, then sat on the other side and watched coldly, as if everything had nothing to do with him, silently observing every move of the insiders.

Public opinion fermented quickly, catching everyone off guard, and all parties responded in a panic.

Information about UEFA and FIFA is constantly reaching Yang Hao's ears through Cerezo, Bilal and others, allowing him to understand the latest developments anytime and anywhere.

He originally wanted to use Zheng Mengzhun as a scapegoat, but unexpectedly, Bratt took the initiative to dig out a Chuck Blazer.

This guy is not simple.

In Yang Hao's previous life, many fans probably didn't notice him.

Nicknamed Mr. 10%, he is the best money maker in FIFA. But later, the FBI investigation in the United States focused on him. The reason is very simple. He wasted people and money, spent so much money, and used so much money. With so many resources, the World Cup failed and they lost to Qatar.

If I don’t kill you to vent the anger of the people, who will I kill?
After Chuck Blazer was caught by the FBI, he voluntarily turned into a tainted witness. Only then did everyone at FIFA and UEFA get caught.

It was also at this moment that Yang Hao's previous life happened. In 2015, the U.S. government asked the Swiss government to cooperate, broke into the FIFA headquarters, and took away many executives in one go, which shocked the media and fans around the world.

From that moment on, world football completely changed!
Yang Hao thought about it again and again, but ultimately did not intend to get involved in the FBI and Chuck Blazer matter.

He was afraid of exposing himself, and there was no need to.

If nothing else, take the matter of Platini and Blatter as an example. If someone asks Yang Hao, where did your news come from?

Zheng Mengzhen?
Confrontation!

Yang Hao immediately revealed his true colors.

There is no clear explanation here.

Therefore, he is now just clicking the button and waiting to see what happens.

Now that the fire has been lit, it proves that things are developing faster than in previous lives.

The best time that Yang Hao has been waiting for is getting closer.

Thinking of this, Yang Hao felt relaxed and calm.

……

After the two weeks of national team games, the third round of La Liga came.

Atletico Madrid challenges Valencia away.

Since many international players participated in the national team competition, especially the South American internationals, Yang Hao had to adopt a rotation strategy.

After playing Valencia, both teams went away to participate in the first round of the Champions League group stage.

In this case, Yang Hao adopted a strategy of substantial rotation.

Valencia also failed to do their best.

In the end, the two sides tied 1-1 at the Etihad Stadium, and the two sides shook hands and made a draw.

Ancelotti was very dissatisfied with the result.

So does Yang Hao.

Real Madrid defeated Getafe 4-2 and counterattacked to reach the top.

……

Three days later, the first leg of the Champions League group stage was played.

Atletico Madrid challenges Porto away.

In the first half of the game, Porto scored a goal in the 27th minute with Hulk's assist, opening the scoring for Porto and causing some impact on Atletico Madrid.

But in the second half, Atletico Madrid completed the reversal 2-1 with goals from Messi and substitute Di Maria.

By the way, James Rodriguez played the entire game and his performance was average.

On the other hand, the two full-backs, Danilo and Alex Sandro, performed very well.

……

Over the weekend, La Liga ushered in the fifth round.

Atletico Madrid beat Racing Santander 4-0 thanks to Messi's hat trick.

This battle once again aroused heated discussion around the world.

Except for missing the third round of La Liga, Messi has scored hat tricks three times in the first four rounds of the league this season.

This is simply outrageous!
If you don't see it with your own eyes, who would dare to believe it? However, Real Madrid narrowly defeated Levante 1-0 away from home, and Valencia narrowly defeated Deportivo La Coruna 1-0 away from home.

Barcelona defeated Osasuna 2-0 at home.

Getafe lost 0-1 at home to Rayo Vallecano, and Adebayor scored with a corner kick in the first 4 minutes.

Defending set pieces is also an old problem for Benitez.

……

Due to the European Cup, the La Liga schedule this season has been compressed.

Three days after the fourth round, La Liga once again ushered in the fifth round.

Atletico Madrid defeated Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 at home.

First, Messi assisted Hazard to score a goal, and then Ramos scored a corner kick goal.

In the end, the Argentinian took charge himself and scored twice.

Atletico Madrid beat Deportivo with 4 goals at home.

With consecutive wins and wins, Atletico Madrid's performance in the new season is amazing and their offensive is overwhelming.

But Real Madrid also defeated Racing Santander away from home in this round and continued to maintain the top spot.

Valencia was at home, leading twice, but was equalized twice by Robben and Fabregas.

In the end, the Bats drew with Barcelona 2-2.

First tied with Atletico Madrid, then tied with Barcelona, ​​and both at home.

Ancelotti is obviously encountering some problems now, especially the team's defense.

Everyone can see that Lucio and Marchena are old, and David Luiz and Jerome Boateng are still young. It will take some time for them to take over the responsibility.

As for Raul Albiol, his performance can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

……

House seemingly endless rain.

After Ancelotti was tied with Barcelona at home, in the sixth round of La Liga at the weekend, when he challenged Sevilla away from home, he just failed to win Poch with two more players than Sevilla. Tino's team.

Sevilla defeated Valencia 6-1 thanks to Gredo's goal in the 0th minute.

It is worth mentioning that during the game, Trokhovsky and Escud received red cards.

But the young player Courtois performed very eye-catching in this game. He turned the tide with one person and saved Sevilla's goal.

The better the young players in Sevilla performed, Yang Hao also benefited.

Especially in the future, Atletico Madrid can also recruit from Sevilla if necessary.

Real Madrid relied on Ronaldo's hat trick, Varane, Benzema and Higuain's goals to defeat Rayo Vallecano 6-3 at home. The two sides played a crazy offensive battle. Won a lot of applause.

In this round, Atletico Madrid challenged Barcelona away from home. Messi once again performed a hat trick, helping Atletico Madrid defeat Barcelona 4-2 away from home.

At the beginning of the new season, in just 6 league rounds, Messi has already scored 14 goals and 4 hat tricks. This is a crazy pace!
What's even more outrageous is that Ronaldo also scored 8 goals and performed extremely well.

Everyone is beginning to realize that Messi is already 24 years old and has begun to usher in a new peak of his career.

Cristiano Ronaldo is already 26 years old and is in the golden years of his career.

The battle between the two superstars has completely heated up.

……

Midweek, the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.

The recent goal-scoring form has been out of control, and Atletico Madrid, which is unstoppable, showed strong offensive firepower at home.

After the opening, there was a round of bombardment.

In the 10th minute, Kaka opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid.

In the 13th minute, Messi scored another victory.

Atletico Madrid then launched a wave of offensives, and Messi once again scored a hat trick.

The Sheets finally beat Genk 7-0 at home.

Obviously, this is an asymmetrical game at all.

Especially at Atletico Madrid's home ground.

……

Over the weekend, the 7th round of La Liga.

Valencia defeated Granada 1-0 at home thanks to Sneijder's goal.

Atletico Madrid defeated Sevilla 3-1 at home thanks to a brace from Torres and a goal from Messi.

In addition to scoring twice, Torres also had an assist and his performance was very eye-catching.

Real Madrid defeated Espanyol 4-2 away from home.

Wenger's team started this season with 7 consecutive wins and performed very well.

……

After playing the 7th round of La Liga, two weeks of national team games came.

Spain has two European Cup qualifiers to play, against the Czech Republic and Scotland.

These are also the last two games of the European Cup qualifiers.

Even though the team had already won the right to advance in advance, Yang Hao still focused on running the lineup, and arranged two different lineups for the two games.

First, they defeated the Czech Republic 2-0 away from home, and then defeated Scotland 3-1 at home.

In the end, Spain qualified from the qualifiers with a complete victory record and advanced to the European Cup.

During the European Cup qualifiers, some news broke out again in the international football world.

First of all, Zheng Mongzhun made a series of remarks in South Korea, criticizing Blatter and Platini for corruption and bribery, and believed that FIFA harbors corruption and should be reformed.

This caused quite a bit of controversy.

But with Zheng Mengzhun's influence today, it is difficult to create much turmoil around the world.

His remarks were more to pave the way for his subsequent development in South Korea's domestic political arena. He even made remarks in South Korea, saying that he and Yang Hao have a irreconcilable relationship.

"I'm considering inviting Yang Hao to become a Korean national!"

This is undoubtedly breaking news.

Yang Haoyuan was in Europe. When he heard the news, his first reaction was, I want to become a Korean national, but he didn’t even know!
Another incident was more serious and caused a bigger fuss.

After nearly three weeks of fermentation, the Swiss authorities finally responded.

The Swiss Attorney General's Office issued an announcement saying that after the British media exposed it, the Swiss authorities attached great importance to it and immediately launched an investigation. The prosecutor's office has officially notified UEFA President Platini and FIFA President Blatter to ask them to He went to the prosecutor's office to assist in the investigation regarding the 200 million Swiss francs [disloyalty reward].

The so-called disloyalty compensation refers to expenses that harm the employer.

Switzerland believes that if there are really 200 million Swiss francs, it will damage the interests of FIFA.

Blatter is only the president of FIFA and can be considered an employee.

Platini immediately issued an emergency statement.

The UEFA president stated that he was indeed asked by the Swiss authorities to assist in the investigation, and he cooperated very well with the work of relevant agencies and authorities and provided corresponding evidence.

"What I want to specifically clarify is that the 200 million Swiss francs have been owed by FIFA for many years, and the remuneration that needs to be paid to me is based on my contract with FIFA."

Platini said that he had submitted relevant evidence and believed that the Swiss Procuratorate would soon clear his name.

"While assisting in the investigation, I will always live in Switzerland and can be questioned by them at any time. I just hope that they will find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible."

Blatter made similar remarks and indicated that this was not a reward for disloyalty.

But their remarks also caused controversy from the outside world.

Platini served at FIFA from the 98 World Cup to 2002, a total of more than three years. During this period, he worked as a consultant to Blatter.

So what role does he play in FIFA?
Why do the salaries for 2002 have to be paid out in 2011?

And at such a sensitive moment?

Neither Platini nor Blatter gave an explanation for this, which further triggered speculation from the outside world.

At the same time, with Platini and Blatter successively involved in the case, public opinion around the world, led by the British media, has put pressure on the Swiss Procuratorate to release more details of the ISL corruption case.

When announcing the progress of the disloyal reward case, the Swiss Prosecutor's Office revealed that they are paying close attention to the development of the matter and do not rule out the opportunity to announce relevant matters.

This once again caused an uproar.

After the ISL corruption case was exposed by the BBC last year, it attracted great attention in the industry and became a big stone on Blatter's head. However, due to the Swiss Prosecutor's Office's promise to FIFA not to disclose the details of the case and the names of the officials involved, it resulted in There has been a lot of discussion from the outside world.

Nowadays, officials such as Ben Harman are reselling World Cup tickets, engaging in corruption and bribery, and scandals continue. The pressure of public opinion is constantly forcing the Swiss Prosecutor's Office to make concessions and demand that the details of the ISL corruption case be disclosed.

This anti-corruption trend is gaining momentum.

Of course, looking from within professional football, cases like this have appeared repeatedly in the past few years, and each time they were dismissed, and this time it is probably the same.

Only Yang Hao knew it.

Blatter will definitely send it this time!

Moreover, progress seems to be faster than Yang Hao's previous life.

The club must also seize the time to prepare.

……

Two weeks after the national team match day, the 8th round of La Liga ushered in.

Real Madrid defeated Real Betis 4-1 at home thanks to Higuain's hat trick.

Barcelona defeated Racing Santander 3-0 with goals from Tevez, Robben and Xavi.

Atletico Madrid relied on Messi's two goals in the 79th and 81st minutes after coming off the bench to defeat Granada 2-0 away from home.

……

Three days later, the fifth round of the Champions League group stage.

Atletico Madrid defeated Basel in Switzerland 7-0 at home.

Adriano scored a big four with his head and kicks alone, ushering in his first breakout of the season.

This actually shows from another level that Atletico Madrid's overall strength has the momentum to crush teams such as Basel.

In two consecutive Champions League group matches, they both won by 7 goals at home, which shows the strength of Atletico Madrid.

……

Return to La Liga and usher in the 9th round.

Real Madrid defeated Malaga 4-1 in the away game with Ronaldo's hat-trick.

Barcelona was held to a 0-0 draw at home by Pochettino's team.

Atletico Madrid defeated Real Mallorca 2-1 at home.

The one goal conceded was Ramos's foul in the penalty area just 2 minutes after the start, which resulted in a yellow card and a penalty kick.

In the end, Messi provided two assists and Atletico Madrid reversed 2-1.

……

In mid-week, La Liga held the competition again and ushered in the 10th round.

Barcelona defeated Granada 1-0 in an away game thanks to Xavi's goal.

Valencia defeated Zaragoza 1-0 in an away game thanks to Jordi Alba's goal.

Real Madrid relied on Benzema's goal to beat Villarreal 1-0.

The continuous intensive schedule seems to have affected the strong teams.

Although they all achieved victory, their performance was not ideal.

This round of Atletico Madrid is an away game against Athletic Bilbao coached by Bielsa.

Although the Shenzhen Army was in poor condition, Yang Hao used softness to overcome strength. With his excellent passing and ball control skills, he took a 2-0 lead in the first half with two goals from Torres and Kaká.

After the start of the second half, just 4 minutes later, Di Maria received a long pass from Xabi Alonso, and after countering offside to form a single goal, Atletico Madrid scored another victory.

In the end, the Sheets defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-0 away from home.

However, Messi has not scored in 3 consecutive games.

Outside media began to hype Messi's goal drought.

In this regard, Yang Hao was speechless.

So far this season, Messi has scored 10 goals in 17 rounds of La Liga and 3 goals in 4 rounds of the Champions League. His performance can be described as very eye-catching.

Now, it's just three consecutive games without a goal, and a goal drought is being hyped?
Is this too outrageous?
……

Over the weekend, La Liga ushered in the 11th round.

Valencia defeated Getafe 3-1 at home thanks to Robin van Persie's brace.

The contest between the two wealthy teams ended with Valencia being the better.

Ancelotti's team performed more mature and stable than Getafe in this game.

Barcelona defeated Real Mallorca 1-0 at home.

Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 9-1 in the away game thanks to Higuain's goal in the 0th minute.

Wenger's team has also been very speechless this season.

Many times, they can rely on the performance of a certain player to score a goal despite poor performance, and then rely on the team's overall excellent defense to win a victory.

This routine is very similar to Valencia last season.

Messi, who had been questioned by the media before, finally broke out again in this round.

After a three-game scoring drought, the Argentine scored a wonderful hat trick to help Atletico beat Zaragoza 3-5.

This time, Messi's goal count reached an astonishing 20 goals!
It’s only 11 rounds of La Liga!

Yang Hao himself was shocked.

He never expected that Messi would perform so well in the new season.

All data indicators are far higher than before!
Obviously, the experience of the Copa America in the summer not only brought doubts to Messi, but it also further stimulated him to perform better and better.

According to Marca, with Messi’s amazing performance this season, besides him, who else can the FIFA Ballon d’Or be given to?
……

In midweek, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid challenged Basel away from home.

Since Atletico Madrid has basically broken through the group stage, Yang Hao made a substantial rotation in this game.

In the end, it was a 2-2 draw with Basel in the game.

Young players such as Van Dijk and Toni Kroos all started in this game and played the entire game.

Isco, Lewandowski and other players also came off the bench.

……

Over the weekend, the 12th round of La Liga.

On the first match day, Real Madrid used a crazy massacre to let the whole world feel the unrestrained La Liga.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema both scored hat tricks to help Real Madrid beat Osasuna 7-1 at home.

This basically confirms Yang Hao’s previous point of view.

The middle and lower reaches of La Liga, composed of Osasuna, Racing Santander and other teams, have an insurmountable gap with the top teams in La Liga, especially the top four teams, in terms of overall strength.

Unless the top teams in La Liga make mistakes, it will be difficult for them to have a chance.

But there are exceptions.

Juande Ramos' Barcelona lost 1-2 away to Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao.

Ander Herrera and Llorente scored one goal each.

It was Fabregas who saved Barcelona's face.

This round of Atletico Madrid is an away game against Benitez's Getafe.

In this game, Benitez carefully arranged a cage for Messi and completely locked the Argentine into the cage.

Yang Hao has long been aware of Getafe's difficulty, especially Benitez's 4231 formation, so he made a lot of careful preparations and prepared many targeted tactical arrangements with Guardiola.

But the central defender combination of Godin and Pique is getting better and better, making Getafe's defense very strong.

This allowed Atletico Madrid to fail to win Getafe in the away game, and the two sides shook hands with each other 2-2.

Messi performed unsatisfactorily throughout the game and was closely marked by his opponents.

In terms of targeted defense, Benitez is excellent.

Yang Hao was relatively relieved about this.

Atletico Madrid tried their best, but they really couldn't beat Getafe, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Taking the initiative to attack is always more difficult than defending.

……

After playing the 12th round of La Liga, we once again ushered in two weeks of national team match days.

Spain played two warm-up matches, both away from home.

First, they went to England to challenge England away from home, and the two sides drew 2-2.

Subsequently, Spain traveled to the American continent and challenged Costa Rica away from home. With Torres' goal, they defeated their opponent 1-0.

Both games are aimed at training the team and fine-tuning tactics. Playing more games with different types of teams is also good for Spain.

It was during the time when Yang Hao led the team on the expedition that the Swiss Procuratorate finally could not withstand the pressure of public opinion from the outside world and had to disclose the details of the ISL corruption case.

Havelange, Ricardo Teixeira, Ben Hamann and other senior FIFA officials were all deeply involved, which once again triggered an uproar in world public opinion.

The development of the situation has intensified and has completely escaped Blatter's control.

The emperor of world football finally started to panic!
