River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo said: "If there is a chance, I would like to play again with Al Ain.

No chance, unless River Plate wins the Copa Libertadores next year and Al Ain wins the AFC Champions League.

Gallardo said this after the third place match in the 2018 Club World Cup. After Kashima Antlers were beaten 5:1 by Manchester City, they were angered by River Plate 4:0 in the battle for third place.

To be honest, the gap between Kashima and River Plate is not that big, but Kashima was disappointed by Manchester City 5:1, and River Plate was suppressed after being eliminated by Al Ain. As the runner-up last time, Kashima lost a bit in this Club World Cup trip.

Oiwa was speechless after the game. The newly-elected Asia's Best Men's Football Coach in 2018 felt like a big ashtray. He was first smoked by Manchester City and then spat on by the river bed.

Al Ain head coach Zoran Mamic did not respond to Gallardo: Who are you here with?

When playing football, defender Mamic and midfielder Gallardo actually met. They both participated in the first court and were in the same group with Croatia.

In the last game of the group stage, Argentina and Croatia, which had won two games against Japan and Jamaica, had already qualified early, so both teams sent many substitutes, including Gallardo and Mamic.

Mamic, who played the last 25 minutes, was unknown. Gallardo, who played the entire game, wasted numerous opportunities, including an empty goal. Argentina defeated Croatia 1:0 with a goal from Udinese midfielder Hector Pineda and had to take first place in the group to go to 1 Gran.

Although both of them were substitutes at that time, Mamic was a pure substitute, and Gallardo was the core of Monaco's midfield. They were small and large. When they met in the Club World Cup 20 years later, he would definitely not remember the two of them. There is another section.

Mamic has been involved in German football for many years when he was playing football, but he was only involved with the main team for three seasons in Bochum. The rest of the time, he either sat on the bench of a pharmaceutical company or made a living in the Bundesliga 2. It was not inspirational but not difficult either.

To talk about Mamic is to talk about the magical Croatian football. A small country with a population of 4.2 million participated in the World Cup for the first time 20 years ago and won the bronze medal. 20 years later, it further won the runner-up in Russia. Their football development path must have something worthy of praise and reference.

However, no.

Before Zhuo Yang appeared, Chinese fans were accustomed to blaming the Football Association for all the sins of Chinese football. Especially when the "anti-gangster curtain" was launched around 2008, it seemed to confirm that the fans' "I say so" was correct.

But in fact, if Zhuo Yang hadn't appeared out of thin air, the Football Association would have been clean since then, but Chinese football would still be a waste, and there would be no hope, let alone achievements, in ten or twenty years.

Football is a comprehensive social issue. The level of football in a country actually has little to do with the Football Association. Not to mention that the football associations in Brazil and Argentina are a mess. The Italian Football Association in Europe is famous for its crotch pulling. There are also places like Germany, England, France and Spain. The football associations are also very normal and keen on palace fights. It is just an officialdom.

Croatia is a negative example of football politics, and the center of the whirlpool there is the Mamic family.

Zoran Mamic is the third brother. He also has two brothers who are 14 and 12 years older than him. The second brother Zdravko is the godfather of Croatian football.

Of course, "godfather" is a polite term, but in human terms, it is the Croatian football mafia.

Zdravko Mamic was eliminated in the youth training era due to limited talent, but he is a player who dares to fight and fight hard. The word "dare to fight and dare to fight" here means literally. If you disagree, you will fight. If you don't say anything, you will fight to the death with others. You are quite ruthless.

Later, through Blazevic's support, Zdravko came into contact with the upper echelons of Croatian football, and gradually began his era of dominance. 1 became the director of football at Dinamo Zagreb, and then served as president, taking control of the only giant club in Croatia.

In 2012, he already dominated the Croatian football world. He could decide everything, including the coaching position of the Croatian national football team and who could become the national football team. And this was all childish.

In 2012, the legendary player Davor Suker, who can play the violin with his left foot, became the chairman of the Croatian Football Association, but everyone knows that he is just Zdravko’s younger brother. All the rights of Croatian football are in the hands of the first vice-president Zdravko. inside.

Zagreb Dina Morgan has no scruples, he just wants to make money and seize power. Balaban, Eduardo, Modric, Lovren, Mandzukic, Rakitic, Kovacic... , Zdravko not only directly controlled every player that Croatia lost to Western Europe, but the transfer fee basically went into his pocket.

Let's put it this way, what Zdravko did has nothing to do with the development of Croatian football. He and his circle of interests are just enjoying the dividends of Croatian football.

Anyone who does this will inevitably be hated by others. Since 2015, those who oppose Zdravko have used both black and white methods to collect evidence to prosecute him for suspected tax evasion and fraud, and also arranged for assassins to assassinate him many times.

But Zdravko Mamic is still doing well. The Croatian national team won the silver medal in Russia, and his younger brother Davor Suker started his third term as chairman of the Football Association in October. According to the original rules, this position could only be served for a maximum of two consecutive terms, but Zdravko was the rule itself.

In June of this year, Modric and Lovren, the tainted witnesses who had been given great hope by the prosecution, retracted their confessions on the spot with their eyes open. "I never said" and "I forgot" were the magic flute in the court. Only speech.

As a result, posters of The Magic Flute were graffitied and torn down on the streets of Zagreb, and he was also cursed. Did it delay his participation in the World Cup? Not to mention that after the World Cup, he became Croatia's idol again.

As the younger brother, Zoran Simic is of course a supporter and beneficiary of the second brother's unification. After retiring, he started as the sports director of Dinamo Zagreb Club, and then served as coach of this giant club.

In August this year, Croatia was in turmoil. In order to avoid suspicion and trouble, Zoran Mamic came to Abu Dhabi and became the coach of Al Ain. His eldest brother served as the head coach of Dalian in the early years, after Xhosa.

Therefore, the level of football in a country has no inevitable causal connection with what the Football Association is like. More often than not, the Football Association has only two functions - to receive scolding or to receive bonuses.

The second brother's domineering situation is not necessarily related to Mamic's coaching level. The fact that he was able to lead Al Ain to eliminate River Plate with a penalty kick shows that the UAE people did not make a mistake.

Mamic said: "Manchester City is a supercar and Al Ain is a new energy vehicle. Although everyone is optimistic about supercars, new energy will always bring surprises to people."

There is nothing wrong with using things to describe people, but the location is a little wrong. Not only the United Arab Emirates, but also the countries in the Middle East that are based on oil may not hear the word "new energy" the most.
