Super Marshal

The much-anticipated 2010 World Cup finally officially kicked off in South Africa, with 32 teams beginning a month-long fiery schedule.

As a columnist for England's Guardian newspaper, Gao Han accompanied his wife and children to South Africa and traveled to major World Cup venues. He wrote a column every day to comment on the performance of each World Cup game. In his free time, he took his wife and children to travel around.

Since his coaching resume covers the 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 find time, he will go to the scene to supervise the battles. Those who cannot make it will definitely watch the live broadcast or broadcast. In the column Reviews also try to remain objective and neutral.

As the most influential head coach in today's football, Gao Han's columns are often sharper and more in-depth than others. He comments on the formation of each game and the players' on-the-spot performance, which also brings people a sense of wonder. His column was published in The Guardian, but was reprinted in newspapers around the world.

Only in China, only the website and application of his wife Lin Xia have obtained exclusive reprint rights.

Not only Gao Han's column, Lin Xia's company also won the columns of European celebrities such as Aragones and Cruyff, as well as Greenwald, Martin Samuel and Javier Matayana, etc. The famous reporter's column, coupled with timely follow-up reports, made her website and application an instant hit during the World Cup.

Throughout the World Cup schedule, the ones that left the deepest impression on Gao Han were Loew's Germany and Bielsa's Chile.

The former is based on players who were coached by Gao Han at Bayern Munich. They have formed a team with strong ball control ability and smooth playing style. At the same time, they hold high the banner of offensive football. They are like a completely reborn German national team. They are not very old and play well. The method and strength are refreshing. Although they only got third place in the end, the future is promising.

Gao Han even commented in his column that Loew's team is on the right path. As long as it continues along this path, with the current and future talent reserves of German football, Germany will definitely be the best player in world football in the future. One of the strongest contenders for the championship.

As for Bielsa's Chile, Gao Han's evaluation is also quite high. He believes that the Argentine madman has interpreted his focus and madness on football in Chile and played hearty offensive football. Although it stopped in the top 16, it is impressive.

On the contrary, it is Brazil and Argentina, two traditional strong teams. Gao Han expressed some disappointment. He believed that neither Dunga nor Maradona could fully stimulate the strength of these two teams, especially for Maradona and Horta. Gao Han was even more disappointed with the use of Mendy.

Otamendi is the most promising supernova before this World Cup. He has attracted the attention of many wealthy teams. Some media even broke the news that once he performs well in the World Cup, both Real Madrid and Barcelona will pay him liquidated damages. , take him away from Chinatown.

Unexpectedly, during the World Cup, Maradona moved Otamendi, who was originally playing as a central defender, to the right wing. As a result, this highly promising rookie performed extremely poorly in the World Cup and was criticized by the fans. Criticize.

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

That is, after the World Cup, several wealthy teams that vigorously pursued Otamendi, including Real Madrid, have retreated and continued to maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

The World Cup ended with Spain defeating the Netherlands 1-0 in overtime. Uruguayan forward Diego Forlan won the Golden Ball Award with five goals, and Bayern Munich rookie Thomas Muller won the Golden Boot Award and the Most Valuable Player Award. The best rookie, Spanish national team captain Casillas won the Golden Glove Award.

Lahm, Ramos, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Thomas Muller and Villa, five of Gaohan's disciples, were all selected for the World Cup's best eleven, and Del Bosque was elected as the best coach.

But if you want to say that the biggest winner of this World Cup, it must be the Uruguayan forward Luis Suarez who plays for Ajax. Although he only scored three goals, his performance was quite outstanding, compared with Cavani and Diego. ·Forlan formed the Uruguayan Trident and led Uruguay all the way to the semi-finals.

But precisely because of his brilliance in the World Cup, Suarez's value has also skyrocketed. Ajax has repeatedly stated that it is not for sale, and private market rumors indicate that Suarez's transfer fee will exceed 60 million euros. This has caused many wealthy clubs to Teams are daunted, after all, Suarez has not proven himself in the top league yet.

What's more, in recent years, shooters from the Netherlands have often had difficulty adapting to the top league, such as Kežman, Kuyt and Huntelaar. The lessons learned from the three predecessors have made people doubt Suarez's future.

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

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

Spain’s Secretary of State for Sports and President of the Supreme Sports Council, Risavicchi, officially signed an order requiring all La Liga teams not to sign broadcast contracts that exceed three years.

This order was not noticed by the outside world, and even the media reports only mentioned it in passing, but it caused a huge earthquake in the Spanish professional football circle, because the order was directly aimed at the two giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. Directly terminated their contract renewal negotiations with 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 clubs had the power to decide on the broadcast rights auction on their own and the government had no right to interfere.

But the reaction of the two giants immediately triggered a strong counterattack from other La Liga teams.

The first person to ignite the war was Atletico Madrid general manager Hill. He publicly attacked Real Madrid and Barcelona in the media as thieves who stole the interests of other teams.

"A football match is always played by two teams. It is not the two giants that maintain the prosperity of La Liga, but the other 18 teams. If Real Madrid and Barcelona think that we do not have 18 teams, they will If they can continue their current glory, then I suggest that they can form a new league on their own."

After Hill, Chinatown general manager Armando Marcos also publicly accused the two giant teams of being blatantly exploitative and very disrespectful to other teams in an interview with Ser Radio de la Morena. fair.

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

"As you can imagine, their annual broadcast fee income from La Liga alone is more than 130 million yuan more than ours. How can we compete with them? They want to poach our players. Isn't that easy? Don't you think, Is this the competitive landscape a healthy league should have?"

Armando Marcos also advocated on the show, believing that the Premier League should follow the example of the Premier League, adopt a more fair and equitable distribution model, sell broadcast rights uniformly, increase the income of mid- and lower-tier teams, and activate the competition mechanism of the league.

"Uniform distribution does not mean equalizing the rich and the poor. In fact, we can see that the Premier League's strong teams are still very strong. After adopting the Premier League's distribution model, all teams will be greatly encouraged to compete at the commercial development level. This is important for The promotion of La Liga will have a good promoting effect."

The general manager of Chinatown also secretly hinted that some teams should not be allowed to dominate other teams for a long time, which would definitely be harmful to the overall development of the league.

After Hill and Armando Marcos, many La Liga teams including Valencia, Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao, etc. have also stood up and publicly criticized the La Liga dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona. Due to the unfair distribution of broadcasting rights, Sevilla Chairman Del Nido once again called out fierce remarks to expel the two giants from La Liga.

Faced with the turbulent public sentiment among the other 18 teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona also chose to respond silently. They are still very clear about the fact that public anger is hard to offend.

It was at this time that the Vice Chairman of the Spanish Professional League, 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 game in the near future. meeting to discuss the distribution of broadcast rights for La Liga.

"This is an old topic that has plagued Spanish professional football for ten years. In the past ten years, we have repeatedly emphasized and repeated this topic almost every year, but we have never been able to find an effective solution. plan."

"Now, I think the time has come. It is also time for us to change the current structure of La Liga. 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 away from our competitors."

At the press conference, Javier Tebas also unabashedly stated in an interview with the media that it is a very unreasonable allocation method for the two giant teams to divide half of La Liga's broadcast fees.

"Yes, there is no doubt that they are the most influential team in La Liga and even in the world, but do they have to be given such privileges just because of this? Is the football match played by the two teams themselves? Are the other ten teams Eight teams didn’t contribute to the league?”

Javier Tebas also acquiesced to the question asked by the relevant media whether the professional league had met and discussed with the other 18 teams and formed a tacit understanding of unified action, but he believed that this was a forced choice.

"We can see that the situation and management of the middle and lower-tier teams in La Liga are getting more and more difficult. Chinatown ranked eighth in La Liga last season, but how much revenue did they earn from broadcast fees? More than 10 million euros. You know this is What concept?"

"Portsmouth, a relegated team from the Premier League last season, is going to play in the Championship this season, and the Premier League gave them a parachute protection fee, which is higher than the broadcast fee income of Chinatown. You guys Do you think this is reasonable?”

I have to say that Javier Tebas is also very good at lingo.

The reason why Chinatown suffers such a loss in broadcast fees has a lot to do with the poor broadcast environment at home. However, according to the chairman of the professional league, this has become strong evidence for the middle and lower-tier teams in La Liga to win sympathy.

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

Javier Tebas's press conference immediately caused an uproar in Spanish football, European football, and even the world. Everyone could clearly see that the eighteen teams headed by the Professional League , finally launched a clarion call for revolution to the Spanish Football Association and the two giant teams.

And this will be a milestone event that profoundly changes the development of Spanish professional football.
