Chapter Fifty-Three Privilege of the Rich
Chapter Fifty-Three Privilege of the Rich
Football is a fair sport, but sometimes, it contains a lot of unfairness. The relationship between teams is like the relationship between countries. Who has money, who has the right to speak, whose The fist is hard enough, whoever is naturally the boss.
Just like the phonegate incident that broke out in the summer, the first offender Juventus was severely punished, and no one can change it, but what about the number one accomplice AC Milan?
Originally people were clamoring that AC Milan would definitely be relegated and penalty points, but what was the result?
The board is raised high and gently lowered!
Not only did they not get relegated, but the Italian judiciary and the Italian Football Association tried their best to retain their qualifications for the Champions League. Why?
Isn't it just because AC Milan is a wealthy family and the face of Italian football. Even if this face is dirty, torn, and unstoppable, it is still a face, and the issue of face cannot be vague.
Moreover, Berlusconi has media tools under his command. If you don't let people participate in the Champions League, they will threaten you not to broadcast Serie A. There is no way for the Italian Football Association to compromise.
But what about Florence?
After all, De La Valle is just a shoemaker. If he has money but no power, he is not unlucky, whoever is unlucky. ?? Stadium Maniac 53
To put it bluntly this time is the same, AC Milan hopes to prepare well for the Champions League final, so Galliani had a whim, hoping to postpone the final round of the league until after the Champions League final.
In fact, it cannot be said that Galliani was a sudden whim. He "knows" the pulse of the Italian Football Association. Now that Italian football has been affected by the Calciopoli incident, its image has been greatly damaged, and it urgently needs something to cheer it up. to recover the loss.
Winning the World Cup is one, but after all, it is a symbol of the overall strength of a country's football, and it does not represent a more tangible club strength.
Juventus was relegated, Roma threw everyone to the Mediterranean at Old Trafford, Inter Milan was able to dominate domestically, but as soon as they came to the European arena, they stopped immediately, they couldn't count on it, AC Milan is so Can a single seedling in Serie A be well protected?
In the previous home and away games with Manchester United, the Italian Football Association temporarily adjusted the schedule because it had to take care of AC Milan, but this time, AC Milan was really too much.
Fiorentina prepared for this crucial game for a week, worked hard, and wanted to get a ticket to the UEFA Champions League next season at San Siro? Siro, but was slapped by AC Milan. to postpone.
Everyone knows what this will mean!
Fiorentina has nothing to do with the UEFA Champions League final, but the league is different!
If it is not postponed, AC Milan will definitely be distracted for the final. They will definitely not dare to do their best in the last game of the league, which will be of great benefit to Fiorentina.
But if the Italian Football Association accepts AC Milan's request and postpones the game, the result will be different. If AC Milan wins the championship, they will have time to adjust calmly. If AC Milan loses to Liverpool in the end, it will be for next season For the Champions League seats, they will definitely have to work hard in San Siro and Fiorentina.
To deal with a team with one mind and two purposes, or to deal with a team like a mad dog, which is easier? All idiots know!
In response to Galliani's proposal, Fiorentina coach Prandelli was the first to stand up and sneered: "If you make such a rash move just to allow yourself to get more time to prepare for the game, then Will all the teams participating in the finals in the future be able to propose to the Italian Football Association to modify the game date for various interesting reasons?"
The local media in Florence were also the vanguard of this incident, and they couldn't wait to fire after them. As the mouthpiece of Florence, they must of course protect their own interests.
If the Italian Football Association agrees to AC Milan's request, it will be very unfavorable for Fiorentina.
After all, this game is related to the participation in the UEFA Champions League. Everyone knows how much economic benefits it means to participate in the UEFA Champions League. If you agree without saying a word, you are a fool! ?? Stadium Maniac 53
"Galliani's request is unreasonable and incomprehensible. Although he kept saying that it was for the image and interests of Italian football, in fact only they themselves benefited from this matter."
The local media in Florence started to run, and other media also criticized AC Milan for being overbearing and arrogant. Although the Holy League has been disintegrated with the relegation of Juventus, people are concerned about Italy, which once "manipulated" the Serie A league and harmed it. AC Milan, whose image of the whole country is ashamed in front of the whole of Europe, is still full of anger.
But it seems that the protests of Prandelli and the media have no effect at all, because soon the Italian Football Association sent someone to ask the Fiorentina club about the postponement of the last round of the league.
"Ask us for an opinion?"
Because De La Valle is banned from participating in all football-related activities, the "chairman" of Florence has now become the former general manager Pakinwa.
In Pakinwa's office, Deegan laughed: "Will they change their minds if we disagree?"
Although Degan is just a player, his status in the Fiorentina club is not low. After all, his contract with the team clearly stipulates that he has the right to "manipulate" the transfer, that is to say, in Fiorentina. , he is a high-level figure with no real name.
When Pakinwa heard Degan's sarcasm, his face immediately became very ugly. He knew that AC Milan didn't take Florence seriously at all. The Italian Football Association came to ask Fiorentina's opinion, but it was just a formality. , In fact, Florence's opinion, they don't care at all.
Even if Florence disagrees, the Football Association will still postpone the final round of the league.
To put it bluntly, the Football Association can afford to offend Fiorentina, and the Football Association cannot afford to offend AC Milan.
What about Florence then?
Don't you go on strike?
Then give someone a Champions League ticket for nothing, I'm afraid Galliani is now wishing for Florence to be like this.
"Mr. Chairman, can we apply for a strike now?" Digan asked, "Or apply to hold this match earlier!"
Prandelli next to him thought for a while: "It's not impossible, but it's meaningless!"
Prandelli is also very aware of the "urinary" nature of the Italian Football Association. Degan really can't understand why Prandelli will accept the invitation of the Italian Football Association to be the head coach of the national team in the future. A pure patriotism?
nonsense!
Degan smiled: "At least we can disgust AC Milan."
It wasn't AC Milan that Degan wanted to be disgusted with. To be precise, it was some people in the AC Milan club, including Ancelotti of course.
Doesn't AC Milan want to postpone the game so that the team can get more preparation time?
OK!
That being the case, isn't delay and advance the same?
So the latest news was reported by the local media in Florence: In order to allow AC Milan to get more preparation time, the Fiorentina club is willing to advance the final round of the league.
have a look!
How understanding!
People who are paying attention to this big drama are all messed up. What is Florence going to do?
Prandelli said in an interview with reporters: "We are fully considering AC Milan. Don't they want to use more time to prepare for the Champions League final? In this case, we are willing to advance the league, although This will give us less time to prepare, and after the last game against Palermo, the team is still very tired, but for the overall honor of Italian football, we are willing to make concessions!"
It sounds like he is really thinking about AC Milan, but all fools know that Prandelli is being sarcastic, but they don't know that he, an honest man, has learned to be so insidious at this moment.
The Italian Football Association was also stupid. They came to ask for the opinions of the Fiorentina club.
But who ever thought that Fiorentina actually proposed to advance the game, if the Football Association rejects Fiorentina, then Fiorentina can use AC Milan's request as an argument, so the Football Association can only hold its nose and agree, and then let AC Milan and Fiorentina Hit the ring.
There is no suspense. AC Milan is much stronger than Fiorentina in terms of any aspect and weapon, so there is no suspense in the final result. The Fiorentina club did this purely in this way to express their respect for the Football Association. Dissatisfied with the arrangement, the media, as a group of people who fear the world will not be "chaos", naturally also hyped up the news of the two clubs fighting each other.
The Fiorentina media severely damaged the Italian Football Association and AC Milan from all aspects, and even edited Berlusconi's "sexual" news. In fact, there is no need to edit at all. Loose and loose, of course, they also know that doing so is futile, but they and the Fiorentina club have the same mentality: even if we don't succeed, we must disgust you AC Milan!
Sure enough, after careful research, the Football Association soon announced that after their careful comparison and inspection, it is more reasonable to postpone the league than to advance it. Of course, no one knows how they came to this conclusion.
At the same time, people from the Football Association also stated in a stern tone that if Fiorentina chooses to strike, they will be punished unexpectedly and severely.
In the past few days, the media has been hyping up this issue, discussing this matter from various aspects, which put AC Milan at the forefront of the storm. Many media angrily accused AC Milan of using the privileges of a wealthy family to obtain such desired results, which is a fair trampling on the rules of football .
There is also the media turning over old accounts, ridiculing AC Milan that even if the tricks are exhausted, even if they get their wish, it does not mean that they will be able to snatch the UEFA Champions League tickets from Fiorentina in the last round of the league.
AC Milan's overbearing has aroused criticism from the media. Apart from a few media that support AC Milan, other Italian media are criticizing AC Milan's overbearing.
"Change the previously established schedule at will, and even postpone the last round of the league until after the final of the Champions League. This may be the longest Serie A league I have ever seen!"
"AC Milan is using their hegemony to force the Italian Football Association to compromise, so that they can benefit!"
"It's ridiculous! Is AC Milan so powerful that it can decide the league schedule at will?"
In fact, in addition to the media's dissatisfaction with AC Milan's random changes and even the league date, AC Milan's move also illustrates a problem, that is, they really have no intention of paying attention to Fiorentina at all.
They made it clear that they want to tell people all over the world that we just want to be arrogant, we just want to be overbearing, and we just don't take Florence seriously!
This made the Fiorentina media and fans very upset.
Does AC Milan really regard Florence as air?
The Fiorentina club is not satisfied with the arrangement of the Italian Football Association, and the Italian Football Association cannot enforce it, so things can only be deadlocked.
AC Milan will never compromise, and neither side will make concessions.
Originally, I wanted to let AC Milan compete for honor in the Champions League, so as to recover the impression points lost due to the time of the call, but now it is good, self-defeating, and Italian football has become the laughing stock of the whole of Europe.
"It is impossible for any Florentine with a normal IQ to agree to such a decision!"
"Ac Milan is too naked to do this, right? They don't even bother to cover up!"
"Who said they belonged to AC Milan? In Italy, only Juventus can wrestle with AC Milan, but now Juventus is in the second division. As for us, ho ho! What are you?"
"But just watch them decide everything like this!?"
"If we don't agree, AC Milan can't do anything, right? We'll just stand in a stalemate and see what they do!"
"Impossible. It's not that everyone doesn't know the status that AC Milan enjoys in Italian football. If they really want to be serious with us, we will be the only ones who will die in the end. They can use all their forces to deal with us. All kinds of concerns, we must agree in the end. Otherwise, the officials of the Football Association will be annoyed at that time, and we will be awarded a penalty kick in a key game. It should have been our penalty. It should have been an effective goal and said we were offside. Is it impossible for something like this to happen?"
Having said this, all those who vented their dissatisfaction fell silent.
Although the Italian Football Association is currently cracking down on counterfeiting, if the privileged class is really irritated, they can definitely do it. In fact, the status of a giant like AC Milan in Italian football is often reflected in this way. They can influence referees and decide the schedule, so that the Italian Football Association dare not deal with them.
If the phone door incident hadn't been too big and was revealed in advance, Mr. Moratti could only continue to be his "pussy" and play the role of a bullied bully.
Degan is of course also very dissatisfied with this incident, but the recent incident also made him truly feel the influence of a super giant like AC Milan in Italy.
Compared with the thick thigh of AC Milan, a domestic powerhouse like Fiorentina has only one arm at most.
When I was in Atlanta before, I felt that a small club like Atlanta was really insignificant. Looking at a team like Fiorentina, the players in Atlanta had to look up. Looking at a giant like AC Milan from an angle, I'm afraid I have to look up to it. Florence's thin arms can't twist AC Milan's thick legs at all.
Whether they like it or not, Fiorentina finally has to be pressured to agree to AC Milan's request.
The final league round will take place five days after the Champions League final, and the Italian Football Federation has reported to UEFA that the San Siro turf needs maintenance.
After seeing it, the boss of UEFA, Michel Platini, agreed without even thinking about it!
In the past, Degan really didn't feel how it was for a second-class tyrant living in Florence, but now after he experienced it for himself, he felt humiliated.
The dignified Florence, the dignified domestic tycoon, has no status in front of a super giant like AC Milan. They can deal with you as they want. In their eyes, I am not a fart.
Digan didn't accept the reporter's interview, because it's such a time, what else can you do besides agreeing?
you disagree? People will find a way to ask you to agree.
The reason why AC Milan can do this is because they have the ability to influence the Italian Football Association, but Florence does not!
Although this made Degan very upset, it was a fact. The whole of Fiorentina, including the fans, could only accept this fact, and they were even used to this reality.
In fact, it's not just them, the whole of Italy, except AC Milan and Juventus, are probably used to accepting this reality.
Reality is like a "rape", since you can't change this fact, then you have to learn to enjoy it, and when you get used to it, you will find that rape is actually a pleasure, so you gradually sink into it Among them, there will be no more pain and unwillingness.
But Degan couldn't learn to do this, otherwise he would have learned it in his last life, and he had no choice but to accept this result, which didn't mean he had no idea and accepted his fate.
Now that AC Milan thinks they have a plan, then in the last round of the league, he and the whole team went to San Siro to meet the most critical game of the season. At that time, he will let the people of AC Milan know and humiliate him. end.
In this farce, apart from Fiorentina, Liverpool is the most dissatisfied, because AC Milan can influence the Italian Football Association and postpone the game. They are not so lucky to face the rigid English FA.
"The Milanese are really shameless!"
This is what Benitez said!
