Football Modifier

The slander and accusation of Crazy Lee by the Korean media and fans made Chinese fans angry.

Before this, the relationship between the ordinary people of the two countries was never friendly in private. Chinese fans would contemptuously call Koreans "Korean sticks", and Koreans even risked "playing with fire during the day and wetting the kang at night" and often like to do some favorite activities of fourth and fifth graders such as "burning the five-star red flag"!

And this time, when the media exaggerated the crazy slander and defamation of Crazy Lee in South Korea, and published the photos of the sticks burning the portrait of Crazy Lee in the square, it was like a thunderbolt that set off a fire on the ground. Overnight, Chinese fans, in addition to cursing and counterattacking, immediately launched a huge and unprecedented boycott of Korean products!

South Korean electronics giants Samsung and LG were the first to be affected and were the most affected.

According to reports from media such as Sports Weekly and Jinwanbao, in Tanggu District, Tianjin, a group of extremely passionate football fans organized a three-day sit-in mahjong strike in a factory that produces LG air conditioner parts. This is a new type of strike...

It was June, the peak season for air conditioner sales. LG suffered heavy losses within three days. The Korean management had to persuade the workers to return to the production workshop by verbally apologizing, raising the wages of Chinese employees, and compensating employees for the losses of playing mahjong...

And on football forums with a little bit of fame across the country, Koreans were portrayed as a despicable, low-class nation who didn't help old ladies cross the road, didn't wash their hands after going to the toilet, and didn't even help children wipe their butts!

The impact was so great that for a long time afterwards, Koreans working and traveling in China always felt that the Chinese looked at them with hostility and disdain, as if they saw a pile of stinky dog ​​shit...

...

...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! Cheers! Cheers!!"

In the bar of the HPC Sports Center at the University of Pretoria, South Africa.

The Argentine team, which won a big victory, is celebrating for the second time, but unlike the last reception, this time, it was the head coach Lee Tong-Bum who took the initiative to propose it.

The Blue and White Army, which has won two consecutive victories and scored 6 points and 13 goals, has already secured a place in the group. In this situation, it is time for the Hammers to relax their whole body and mind. The World Cup schedule is as long as the Long March. If they are always tense, they will bear huge psychological pressure. If it accumulates day by day, the quantitative change will produce qualitative change, and one day the players will have a mental breakdown!

Proper rest is to run faster and longer!

The atmosphere in the bar is very happy.

This time, with the permission of the "boss", everyone really let go of everything in their hearts and relaxed to their heart's content...

At the bar, the funny goalkeeper Romero was performing again.

He was wearing tight jeans and an open plaid shirt, a metal skull belt buckled around his waist, and a black high hat on his head. He was fully engaged, twisting his body while singing the light and melodious Argentine traditional folk song "Little Gift"...

Messi and Aguero, like middle school students, were playing shuffleboard with great interest, while not far away on the other side, Mascherano and Otamendi were gambling in front of the target board with darts in their hands. The mature and steady Riquelme held a handful of Argentine pesos in his hand, just like a dealer...

At the door of the bar.

Li Tongfan and Batistuta sat on high stools beside the bar, holding fresh draft beer in their hands, watching the hammers revel with a smile.

"Li, congratulations on the successful debut of your new tactics!" Batistuta smiled and raised his glass.

Ding! !

Old Li smiled triumphantly, sprayed the cup with Batistuta, and then drank it in one gulp.

The sultry man became more talkative after drinking too much.

At this moment, he couldn't hide his smugness on his face, and said shamelessly: "The advantage of the Argentine team lies in offense. The four all-around forwards can be used as attacking midfielders, and Javier and Fernando's double defensive midfielders cover a large area, so there is no need to worry about defense... Hehe, in fact, everyone can think of this tactic, but few people dare to use it in the World Cup because they can't afford to lose..."

Although the words were full of arrogance, Batistuta still agreed with Li Tongfan's words.

In the World Cup, almost no coach dares to have such courage, because the importance of winning or losing the game makes each of them bear huge expectations and pressure... And Crazy Li is obviously an exception, because he has never lost so far!

For a moment, Batty was also infected by this shameless guy, but...

"Lee, about those Korean reporters before the game, and some things that happened during the game...Are you...not worried at all? You know...well, if FIFA gets serious, you might even be banned..."

Speaking of this matter, [God of War] sounded a little worried.

Lee Tong-fan laughed.

He had a mysterious expression on his face: "Gabriel, believe me, things will never be as bad as you think, I can guarantee that I will not be punished, hehe..."

The sultry man looked confident.

Just at this moment...

Bang!

A cup filled with golden fresh draft beer slammed heavily on the bar.

Someone dragged a high stool over and snorted with a straight face: "Really? Not necessarily, you crazy guy, do you know what you have done?"

A slightly angry voice, sparse silver hair, loose muscles, sagging chin and fat accumulated in the neck, like a male Shar Pei dog...Grondona, the president of the Argentine Football Association, wearing his favorite dark gray handmade suit, suddenly appeared next to Li Tongfan and Batistuta.

The players in the bar were still having fun under the dim lights.

No one noticed the sudden arrival of the chairman.

Batistuta heard a strong sense of dissatisfaction from Grondona's words. He looked at Li Tongfan with a little worry, hoping that the madman with a bad temper would not be stubborn again and quarrel with Grondona again...

Who knew that the reaction of the sultry man would surprise Batistuta -

He actually picked up the cup that Grondona had just thrown on the bar with a playful smile, as if he didn't see the "thick frost" on the other's face at all, put the cup back into Grondona's hand, and then raised his own cup high: "Hehe, Mr. Chairman, I think we should have a drink first to celebrate the 7:0 victory, what do you think?"

With a light sentence, the serious atmosphere created by Grondona was instantly destroyed.

The chairman of the Football Association didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He touched his glass angrily, took a sip, and put the glass back, shaking his head helplessly: "Lee, to be honest, you are really a hornet's nest..."

"Ah? Julio, you are not referring to the accusations of the Koreans, are you?"

Lee Tong-fan looked nonchalant, exhaled the smell of alcohol, leaned on the bar, and asked nonchalantly: "Don't tell me that you, as the vice president of FIFA and Mr. Blatter's most trusted right-hand man, can't even settle this matter? Oh, oh, if that's the case, I'm so sad..."

Grondona couldn't help but be angry.

Listening to the madman Lee who unscrupulously brought the topic to the level of "abusing power for personal gain" and blatantly instigated him to "call a zebra a zebra", the old face of the chairman of the Football Association showed a black line on his forehead.

What he said was true. The so-called insults to journalists and fans were indeed a big or small topic for FIFA. Grondona could have used his connections to suppress such things privately. The final result would be at most a few criticisms from those boring media. What else could he do?

However, when Li Tongfan said it in such a pretext, the taste changed...

In fact, Grondona came here today, and he didn't intend to do anything to Li Tongfan. He just wanted to scare the crazy Li a little, so that this guy who was loved and hated would be more restrained in the future, so as not to cause a lot of trouble and have to clean up his own ass...

Who knew that the crazy Li actually saw through his intentions at a glance, and did not give him any face and pointed it out to his face... This Grondona was so angry that his teeth itched, but he was helpless. Facing such a head coach who had won every battle but was extremely cunning, this old hero who had dominated the South American football scene for more than 30 years really felt a bit frustrated like a tiger trying to eat the sky but having nowhere to bite.

Batistuta, who was standing by, listened to the conversation between the two and understood the key point. He took a sip of golden beer and smiled.

Li Tongfan flicked the glass with his fingertips and said innocently: "Julio, Argentina is the victim. We had several good balls in a row, but they were blown off by the Italian referee..."

When Li Tongfan said this, Grondona's face changed.

Italian Rossetti is one of the referees that FIFA has vigorously supported and promoted in recent years. He has always performed very well. Who would have thought that in such a game, there would be so many incredible misjudgments. For a time, many media outlets believed that FIFA might be behind the incident. Some nonsense such as "FIFA suppresses the Argentine team" and "the World Cup champion has been decided long ago" began to spread, causing great headaches for FIFA officials...

However, FIFA was relieved that the person involved, Crazy Lee, did not pursue the matter relentlessly, and even expressed his understanding of Rossetti at the press conference after the game... Crazy Lee's behavior made FIFA much more relaxed!

Of course, any good thing has a price.

For the olive branch that Crazy Lee took the initiative to throw out, how could these big men who played politics and conspiracy after playing football not understand the meaning of it? As long as both sides get what they need - as long as Crazy Lee does not pursue the disgusting misjudgment, then FIFA will also let it go on the so-called "insulting Korean reporters and fans" incident...

This seemingly big storm has been reduced to a small matter!

Both sides did not say all this, but reached a tacit understanding in secret.

As for Korean reporters and fans?

How much trouble can a palm-sized area with a population that can be counted on five fingers cause? Who cares if you die?

Grondona's face changed slightly.

Because he felt that Crazy Li was like a little fox that was cunning to the extreme.

…

…

The South African police authorities did conduct an investigation into the bloody conflict between Argentine and South Korean fans before the game, as the Korean "Seoul Sports Daily" said.

However, the results of the investigation were completely contrary to what the Koreans expected-

"... We have heard the testimonies of 250 third-party witnesses in total and retrieved a large amount of other video materials. All the evidence shows that Korean fans should be held responsible for the bloodshed!"

"... For this reason, we have temporarily detained 23 Korean fans who must be held responsible for the bloody conflict. They will be sent back to their country within three days to accept punishment from the Korean police..."

"At the same time, these 23 extreme Korean fans will be included in the FIFA blacklist of unwelcome football hooligans and become the most unwelcome fans in major league stadiums!"

At the South African police press conference.

The final investigation results of the incident given by the official person in charge, Demi Pinatore, made the Korean reporters present feel ashamed, and the Korean fans who gathered outside the press conference and shouted slogans such as "Give me justice, severely punish Crazy Lee" with excited expressions were also dumbfounded after learning the police's verdict...

This matter was not pushed by FIFA behind the scenes, but it was indeed the case.

As for Crazy Lee's "bad behavior" of insulting Korean reporters before the game, giving Korean fans the middle finger during the game, and refusing to repent at the press conference after the game, FIFA and the South Africa World Cup Organizing Committee only issued a "severe" warning, and did not impose any substantial punishment!

That's not all. What made the Koreans crazy was that the head coach of the South Korean team, Heo Jung-moo, was also warned by FIFA because he accused Crazy Lee of inciting fans to fight and make trouble without evidence when he was interviewed by reporters before the game!

Because of the 23 "Korean football hooligans", the Korean Football Association received a 20,000 euro fine from FIFA, and Korean football became the laughing stock of the world football for a while!

…

…

The madness of public opinion cannot stop the continuation of the World Cup.

The smoke of war in the South African battlefield continues.

June 18.

Group D played a game at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth. After 90 minutes of fighting, another big upset broke out - the ten-man [German Tank] Germany lost 0:1 to Elvia. Ivanovic scored and Podolski missed a penalty!

Compared with the sharp 4:0 sweep of Australia in the first game, the German team performed very poorly in this game. After losing the game, the German team's road to promotion was suddenly overshadowed!

The game began to become more and more cruel!
