After listening to James Murdoch's introduction, a sentence came to Yang Huan's mind.
If you don’t commit suicide, you won’t die.
The root of the matter probably starts with the FIFA presidential election.
In order to win re-election, Blatter made heavy promises to all parties with voting rights.
Ever since, after being successfully elected, he had to start fulfilling his promise.
After all, if one of them came out to fool around and didn't have some dirty information about the other party, no one would benefit from a real falling out.
It's strange that Brat, an old man in his seventies or eighties, is so blind that he thinks he can completely control the situation.
That's why the interesting thing happened that after the World Cup in South Africa, the right to host the two Olympic Games was voted on at the same time.
Throughout the entire incident, vote-buying and shady stories were reported in the newspapers, making it the most controversial vote to host the two World Cups in history.
With the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States and the European debt crisis in Europe, the economies of both the United States and the United Kingdom are generally depressed.
Under such circumstances, organizing the World Cup will undoubtedly greatly stimulate the domestic economy and at the same time drive a series of domestic supporting industries, especially the sports industry.
Never underestimate the commercial value of the sports industry Needless to say, the benefits of hosting the World Cup.
The British Premier League itself is one of the best professional football leagues in the world and has a decisive influence around the world.
As for the United States, the sports industry in the United States itself can create huge commercial value for this country.
Although football is relatively weak, it is developing rapidly.
With the help of the preparations for the World Cup, domestic professional football can be greatly developed, which is undoubtedly a good thing. matter.
Therefore, both the United States and the United Kingdom attach great importance to the right to host the two World Cups, especially the United States.
Former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Kissinger personally served as ambassadors for the bid to host the World Cup.
The bid documents alone amounted to 873 kilograms, nearly One ton, shipped by sea in two containers to Nyon, Switzerland.
What's the result?
UK loses to Russia, US loses to Qatar This time FIFA has angered both the former and the current world hegemons.
As a result, the UK took the lead in blasting FIFA's vote-buying scandal, while the US was already doing something secretly.
Under the pressure of public opinion around the world, FIFA had to stand up and explain, and pretended to launch an internal investigation.
Fortunately, the person in charge of the internal investigation actually chose an American lawyer with an FBI background.
Read full text Well, they were hired by FIFA to conduct an internal investigation, but they secretly leaked information to News Corporation, using News Corporation's newspapers in the United Kingdom and the United States to build momentum and release shady information.
Only then did James Murdoch say with regret that there are very few smart people who play professional football.
Even though Blatter and others are much older, with their little ability, they can still play well in the FIFA field.
If they really cross the field of football, they are just a small skill, and can even be said to be extremely clumsy.
Just say vote bribery How did they bribe the vote?
Either give cash, or transfer money through the accounts of relatives and friends, but all of this can escape the government's spy.
It is said that the US government has quickly followed up on this matter and has targeted each bank account.
When Yang Huan heard this, he shook his head and sighed.
What else could he say?
"If you don't have that kind of ability, don't do it like others do.
If you are a fool, don't treat the whole world as an idiot."
James Murdoch slapped his thigh hard and nodded: "You're not telling me who else would do this these days."
Yang Huan smiled and said nothing.
A large part of the salaries and bonuses of Southampton's stars now come through Monaco.
The reason is simple, tax-free This alone saves Southampton an unknown amount of money every year.
Don’t the Premier League and UEFA know?
I know, but what can I do?
Southampton did not break the law or violate the rules, they just used the rules cleverly.
So, they turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.
Anyway, there is nothing you can do if you see it, unless they revise the rules, but there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
Yang Huan can guarantee that as soon as he introduces the policy in the morning, Southampton will be able to come up with countermeasures in the afternoon.

The reason is very simple.
Yang Huan hired a group of professionals who, among other things, just look for your loopholes.
What can you do?
If you still play with these nonsense these days, aren't you asking for death?
Besides, just for those hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars, accepting bribes Yang Huan wants to laugh whenever he thinks of this.
It's too cheap, isn't it?
At the very least, you FIFA executive committee members should have some integrity and not be bribed so easily, okay?
"I think what happened this time is enough for FIFA to drink a pot of water."
James Murdoch is a bit of a spectator and not afraid of big things.
His family is in the media business anyway, so the more lively it is, the better it is for them.
Yang Huan smiled and shook his head, "I don't think so.
Britain and the United States have dirty butts, so what do they care about?"
If you really want to talk about vote bribery, who wouldn’t?
Of all those who have hosted the World Cup, who dares to say that they did not bribe their votes?
In order to host the World Cup, the UK specially invited the national youth team of Trinidad and Tobago to come to the UK to train and compete.
All expenses were paid by the Football Association.
Is it because the national youth team is of high standard?
Stop kidding It's because the FIFA executive committee of Trinidad and Tobago has voting rights.
In addition, the UK paid £35,000 for dinner for the voting Caribbean executive.
Damn it, I spent more than 30,000 pounds on one dinner, which is quite luxurious.
So, if you really want to talk about vote bribery, no one has a clean butt.
It's just that now it's those who failed who are unwilling to accept it.
"You, the pattern is broken."
Yang Huan shook his head and smiled.
James Murdoch is depressed.
A man in his thirties was pointed at his nose by a boy in his early twenties and said, "You are so stupid.
What the hell is that?"
Damn it, has this world changed completely?
"Don't be dissatisfied.
You don't need to say anything else.
You only need to answer one question for me.
If FIFA is finished, who will replace it in managing football and the World Cup around the world?"
Now, James Murdoch is speechless Yes, FIFA is finished.
Who will manage such a huge football industry in the world?
The U.S. government must be thinking about it, and it's going crazy, but does it have the ability?
Even if he wanted to, other governments would listen to him In addition, the ownership of a large number of competitions such as the World Cup and Club World Cup is owned by FIFA, and other national football associations are nominally affiliated organizations of FIFA.
Just this one, if FIFA is finished, where will the national football associations go?
Don't think everyone who plays football is a fool Those sponsors are as smart as ghosts, they don’t know FIFA’s shady secrets Wrong, they know it better than anyone else But they all know very well that if they want to use these high-quality resources in the hands of FIFA to promote their brands, they have to endure these messy things from FIFA because they have no other choice.
Even if it is as powerful as UEFA, it can go it alone without FIFA.
Don't be stupid.
If we talk about football seriously, the level of the UEFA Champions League is far behind the World Cup.
But its influence and commercial value can be compared with the World Cup.
In the eyes of fans all over the world, who is less important and who is more important?
Why Messi must win a World Cup if he wants to be crowned king Therefore, Yang Huan initially judged that in this turmoil, no matter how violent and violent the turmoil is, FIFA will still be FIFA, and there may only be a redistribution of power.
Thinking of this, Yang Huan suddenly raised his eyebrows and took it into consideration.

Since it was a redistribution of power, he didn't mind taking part.
Anyway, if he can get some benefit, then it is considered a profit.
If he can't get a share, he has nothing to lose.
The worst thing is to sacrifice some time and have fun.
The discussion between Yang Huan and James Murdoch in the stands obviously did not affect the trend of the game.
The Barcelona generals were at odds, and the scene looked quite ugly.
Southampton has just undergone major adjustments, but the midfield and backfield have basically remained unchanged.
Especially the defense line and the double midfielder composed of Modric and Toni Kroos are becoming more and more stable and tacit understanding.
This makes the Saints as good as ever on defense and organization.
In addition, in the midfield, James Rodriguez started the first half and performed well.
He passed three very threatening passes and also orchestrated the team's two goals.
In particular, the Colombian also had a very high-quality shot, but it was saved by Valdes.
In the second half, Bielsa replaced James Rodriguez with Pogba, but the French midfielder did not have any eye-catching performance except for a long shot that shocked the entire stadium.
It is estimated that this has something to do with Bielsa replacing Modric early and then Toni Kroos, using Matic and Kovacic on the field.
After all, Matic is more defensive and Kovacic is more defensive.
He is young and lacks experience in being independent.
In the frontcourt, Bielsa started with a combination of Hazard, Ibrahimovic and Sturridge.
As a result, Ibrahimovic and Sturridge each scored in the first half.
One ball.
In the second half, Suarez, Sanchez and Ravel Morrison were replaced respectively.
Although the team still created a lot of opportunities, they were never able to convert the opportunities into goals.
Especially Suarez, the Uruguayan forward still behaves like a hard-working Saburo, but he is somewhat out of tune with his teammates.
Liverpool's tactics are a bit different from Southampton's.
In addition, in Liverpool, his teammates revolved around Suarez.
Therefore, after the Uruguayan switched to Southampton, he was bound to make some changes in terms of psychology and playing style.
Adjustment.
Therefore, although Southampton defeated Barcelona 2-0 in this game, in Yang Huan's view, there was really nothing worth writing about.
In the final analysis, this is a game about who is in worse shape and has a worse run-in.
In the end, Southampton got a small victory by luck.
But this game attracted a total of more than 85,000 fans to the scene, and the entire FedEx Field in Washington was packed.
The battle was even more lively than a home game of the Washington Redskins.
It is not difficult to see from this that after several years of publicity and preparation, football games, at least the football games of European giants, still have a very wide audience among young people in the United States.
And as the top battle between Southampton and Barcelona ignited the horn, the wave of the International Champions Cup quickly swept across North America.
Almost every game was very popular, and every venue was once again full.
After all, the eight teams in the International Champions Cup are all popular and powerful teams in Europe.
This not only attracted more and more American fans to the scene, but also attracted countless fans to stay in front of the TV to watch the live game, and the ratings were also rising.
Compared with the prosperity of the International Champions Cup, the performance of another event seems to be very average.
It can even be said to be unsatisfactory:
