Chapter 024 Barcelona Players and Chairman

After a few days of tiredness with Kou Kou, Zhuo Yang returned to Barcelona, ​​and his teammates also returned from their respective national teams with tired noses and mouths.

Football king Maradona finally did not surprise anyone. His Argentina defeated Peru and Uruguay 2:1 and 1:0 in the last two South American qualifiers. It was especially crucial to win against their strong rival Uruguay, which allowed Argentina to win 4 With a points advantage, they overcame their opponents and finished fourth in the South American region, passing directly through South Africa, while fifth-place Uruguay still had to play in the play-offs.

However, Messi's performance in these two games was average. He played almost 180 minutes, but did not score or assist. The credit belongs to Real Madrid forward Higuain and veteran Palermo, as well as midfielder rookie Mario Bo. Ratti, who beat Uruguay after coming on as a substitute.

Without credit but hard work, I finally got the ticket to South Africa. Although it was thrilling, it didn't become a scandal if I missed it. Messi is not a stubborn person, he is still happy. "Zhuoyang, do you think Argentina and China will be divided into the same group next year? I'm looking forward to it~"

"Leo, your shameless look has the charm of my youth."

The saddest thing is Ibrahimovic, the Swedish god is in trouble. Sweden lost to Denmark 0:1 in the crucial battle, and even a 4:1 victory over Albania later did not help. Sweden eventually fell behind Portugal by one point and ranked third in the group. The door to South Africa closed with a bang. .

Ibrahimovic failed to make any achievements in these two games and was severely depressed. Although Cristiano Ronaldo only played for about 20 minutes before taking a break due to injury, Portugal still won two consecutive games 3:0 and 4:0, and came from behind to qualify for the play-offs.

"Zlatan, where are you going to go on vacation next summer? Don't forget to tell me if there is a good place!" Zhuo Yang looked disgustingly gloating.

"Go away, go away! I'm so annoyed, don't even talk to me."

"Chi chi chi chi~~~"

The French team failed to overtake Sevilla. Captain Henry led the team to prepare for the play-offs after two consecutive victories. Scar Ribery missed all seven qualifying rounds this year due to injury, which had a great impact on the French team's offensive power. It drew with Romania, Lithuania, and Austria in a row, and finally fell one point behind Serbia. Fortunately, Scar is coming back soon. Zhuoyang hopes that the French team can successfully pass the play-offs and that the Six Musketeers can gather in South Africa. Also going to play in the play-offs is Qi Jesus' Ukraine. In the crucial battle, they defeated England 1:0 with Shevchenko's penalty kick.

Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands secured first place in the group early on, and there was no suspense a few months ago when they qualified directly. The same is true for Spain. They are 11 points ahead of second place Bosnia and Herzegovina in Group E, almost making Bosnia and Herzegovina second in the group with the worst performance. Germany, Italy, and Spain were just going through the motions in these two rounds, and the six Spanish international players in the Barcelona team went on an autumn outing to relax.

Puyol, Messi, Henry, Coffee, as well as Mexico's Marquez and Cote d'Ivoire's Yaya Toure, who have already qualified, deliberately avoided Ibrahimovic, but in front of Zhuo Yang, they openly discussed who would be lucky next summer. Can meet the Chinese team.

Zhuo Yang said: "You are so beautiful!" But he was thinking in his heart: Run into me? Hum!

The Chinese team did not have any serious games during these two international match days, but they were not idle either.

The Botswana national team is a poor African. They were eliminated from the first group stage of the African World Cup qualifiers at the bottom. During these two international match days, Botswana was invited to China, and a group of players whose names no one had heard of happily held two public warm-ups with the Chinese team in Hohhot.

It's still the same old problem, and the performance is extremely unstable. In the first game, the Chinese team won 4:0. Their mercury-like offense was like a second-rate European team. Five days later, they lost 1:2 without hesitation. The Botswana people were as happy as New Year's Eve.

This kind of opponents never come to increase China's football experience. Their biggest role is to increase geographical knowledge for Chinese fans. Otherwise, most fans will never know that there is such a country in the world.

Jieshuai called Zhuo Yang and said: I have only been in office for one year, right? But come and see how much hair I have lost!

Zhuoyang said: If you bear with me any longer,

Just bear with it a little longer.

Jieshuai: Will these people's performance be stable if they endure it longer?

"No, if you bear with it any longer, you'll get used to losing your hair."

.

Barcelona players have different joys and sorrows because of football, but Barcelona chairman Joan Laporta has been having a headache these two days, and he has been troubled.

An article published in Spain's "Football Man" magazine revealed: Almost every match day, Barcelona President Laporta invites some people to dine at the most expensive hotel in Barcelona. The cost of each meal is almost more than 50,000 euros, and with The payment is always made with the public credit card owned by the club president.

Reports revealed that Laporta’s banquet recipients included other senior officials of the club, such as the two vice-presidents, Laporta’s right-hand men Alfonso Golda and Sara Martin, as well as head coach Guardiola. To captain Puyol, heavyweight players such as Xavi, Zhuo Yang, Messi, Ibrahimovic, and even some of Laporta's personal business partners, his schoolmates, and so on. As long as he is treated, Laporta will definitely eat and drink with public funds.

Facing the aggressive questioning from the media and members, Laporta said that these banquets were all for work and for the affairs of the Barcelona Club, and naturally they had to be business-like. But the members took out what he said when he ran for chairman that year - I will take good care of the club and will not spend a penny of the club's money, nor will I deceive anyone like the previous chairman. ——But it left Laporta speechless. He won the hearts of members by criticizing former chairman Gaspart for spending public funds.

Not only that, the media also revealed that Laporta's chairman's card was used to hire private jets and pay for global travel expenses. Laporta responded that it was normal official travel expenses. The problem is that even Barcelona officials are unaware of some of Laporta's itineraries.

In fact, the nature of a member-only club like Barcelona determines that its finances must be gray, and internal corruption and sideline behavior cannot be eliminated at all. People who actually work here are aware of these things. As long as they don’t go too far, it doesn’t matter to anyone. If the water is clear, there will be no fish.

Once these things are revealed to the public, there must be another intention, and this is often just the beginning, just a tentative move to ask for directions.

It is obvious that this is a new round of attacks on Laporta launched by Sandro Russell, Laporta's former deputy and current enemy. It is Russell's new move after the impeachment motion was frustrated.

Laporta is experienced in many battles and has foiled Russell's many plots in the past few years of his tenure. Facing this wave of public opinion, Laporta is confident that he can still weather the storm and stand tall in the stormy waves.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Football is not a pure land. Barcelona Club also has its own complex political ecology, and this aspect is far more intricate and entangled than AC Milan.

Amid the undercurrents at the top, the tired Barcelona players embarked on an expedition to the seventh round of La Liga. Their opponent was Valencia, the Bat Legion.
