Yang Huan once heard a very interesting joke.
Americans say, I am the biggest in the world, and I can beat whoever I want.
British people say, I am the second oldest, and I will beat whoever the American boss beats.
The French say, I will hit whoever hits me, and the Japanese say, I will let my American father hit whoever hits me.
Although this is a joke, it is a very interesting spoof of the current world situation.
It is obvious that the United States is the dominant nation.
They can even claim that everything that happens on this earth is under their control, so they are nicknamed the "World Police".
However, football, intentionally or unintentionally, acts as an exception.
Since the subprime mortgage crisis, although the government has proposed a plan to return to manufacturing, in fact, everyone knows that this is just a slogan, and the US government also knows it, so they have been actively looking for any means to stimulate economic recovery.
Among them is the sports industry, which has high hopes.
In the United States, the sports industry is quite large in scale and its business model is very mature.
It generates a market value of approximately US$500 billion every year and creates a huge employment population.
The NF Football League, NBA Professional Basketball League, B Professional Baseball League and NH Hockey League are known as the four major professional leagues in the United States, and their fans include nearly 70% of Americans.
However, as the world's largest sport, football has just started in the United States.
This can be said to be a major flaw in the American sports industry, but it can also be conversely said to be a major opportunity.
Revitalizing the U.S. soccer industry has become a major decision of the U.S. government.
In 2010, they even proposed a plan to revitalize the U.S. soccer industry and simultaneously bid to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Right to host.
This is not just about football, because when the US government proposed the plan, it also proposed a complete package of solutions including urban hardware construction and investment.
In other words, this goes far beyond football.
Therefore, at that time, dozens of cities in the United States submitted bids to host the event at the same time, and as many as 18 cities were shortlisted for the first time, all of which are famous cities in the world.
At the same time, on the other side of the Atlantic, the United Kingdom also encountered the European debt crisis and economic downturn.
They also proposed to use the football industry to revitalize the British economy.
Therefore, they also proposed a package of revitalization plans to bid for the World Cup.
So, the world boss and his follower No. 2 made a plan at home, let’s not beat ourselves up, add two to one and make five, the UK will bid for 2018, and the United States will bid for 2022, that’s it.
It sounds a lot like Spain and Portugal's rush to divide the east and west halves of the earth equally.
But the terrible thing is that the way they deal with international affairs does not work at all in the world of football.
When the hosting rights for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups were announced, Americans and British alike were stunned.
Damn it, the 2018 World Cup didn’t give me the respect of Britain, so forget it, but it actually gave it to Russia.
Don’t you, FIFA, know that we are sanctioning Russia?
Also, in 2022, it was given to Qatar, a small country in the Middle East Damn it, my family is counting on the World Cup to revitalize it, and you actually gave it to the rich man in Qatar What is even more humiliating is that when voting for the right to host the 2018 World Cup, the UK only received two votes, one of which was given to itself.
I cried to death.
The United States was even worse, 8 to 14.
The four European votes that were originally settled in advance ended up being given to Qatar.
It was a complete defeat.
This time Lao Mei and Lao Ying became angry.
Usually we are the only two brothers who play games with others.
Who can play games with us?
What’s even more hateful is that you just wanted to play with one of us, but you also took us two brothers to play with each other.
It’s really unbearable for uncle and aunt As a result, Lao America and Lao Britain got angry, and FIFA's corruption officially kicked off.
Throughout the whole thing, Blatter was actually quite depressed.
The emperor of international football has always been used to showing off his authority in his own three-thirds of an acre of land.
He only cares about interests and not people.
But in all this, he has obviously offended people he cannot afford to offend.
Whether he is motivated by personal interests or wants to use this method to flaunt FIFA's detachment and independence, anyway, this time he has played himself into it.

From the standpoint of Qatar and Russia, they are the most worried.
Especially Qatar.
The World Cup in Russia is in 2018.
There is only three years left.
If Russia is destroyed in a hurry, no one will be able to take over.
Therefore, there should be no problem with the World Cup in Russia.
But that's not necessarily the case in Qatar.
This is why Prime Minister Hamad and the Qatari government are so worried.
What if the American daddy gets his act together and steals the right to host the 2022 World Cup?
Originally, from Qatar's perspective, it would be great if Platini could be successfully elected as FIFA president.
But judging from the current situation, things seem to have exceeded everyone's imagination.
With the downfall of Blatter, Platini may not be able to survive.
This was something Yang Huan had never imagined before.
This time the muddy waters got muddier and muddier, and even Platini got stuck in it.
Even Yang Huan had to admit that he had indeed miscalculated.
However, after listening to Prime Minister Hamad's worries, Yang Huan shook his head, "Even if Platini is finished, so what?"
"What do you mean?"
Hamad was a little confused.
Yang Huan smiled and shook his head, "UEFA has made secondary preparations.
If something happens to Platini, they will push Secretary General Gianni Infantino to come forward for election.
He is a Swiss lawyer.
Origin, the anti-corruption and crackdown on football gambling in European football in recent years have also been very impressive, so" When Prime Minister Hamad heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Isn’t what FIFA is facing now a corruption problem?
At this time, it is not appropriate for a Swiss lawyer who remains neutral and resolute to serve as FIFA president.
More importantly, although Infantini is a spare tire and does not have much fame, I am afraid that few people will have any objections to him.
Even in the eyes of Americans, it is better for the Swiss to be in charge than to be run by the Middle East or the Middle East.
It would be much better if people from Africa, South America and other regions were in charge.
At least, that's a white European, okay?
"Gianni Infantino" Prime Minister Hamad read this name, it was completely unfamiliar.
"Who is it?"
he asked his precious son beside him.
Hamad, the little prince from the Middle East, also darkened his eyes and shook his head, "I don't know."
Prime Minister Hamad almost gave him a slap in the face.
Are you cheating me?
They all go to European football, how come you are so different from Master Huan?
Look at Master Huan, how capable and capable he is If you were half as good as Master Huan, then I would be much less worried.
"Gianni Infantino is the host of every Champions League draw ceremony, the bald one," Yang Huan said with a smile.
He also has a good relationship with Infantino.
In the final analysis, it comes from Platini.
Now UEFA and Platini have the same attitude.
If Platini can run for office, he will come forward.
UEFA fully supports Platini.
But if something goes wrong and Platini is unable to run, then all resources should be concentrated to fully support Infantino.
Yang Huan has a good relationship with Infantino, and of course he is happy to see it work out.
Anyway, no matter who is elected, it will have nothing to do with us Chinese people, so it is better to just think about how to make profits, which is serious.

Although there will also be candidates from Asia, such as Prince Ali, Yang Huan knows very well that it will not benefit East Asia at all if people from West Asia and the Middle East are elected.
On the contrary, it will even be very detrimental.
The AFC's internal power struggle has never stopped, which has led to great internal disunity and even divided into two major factions, East Asia and West Asia.
Prince Ali belongs to the West Asia faction.
Prince Ali tried every means to win over UEFA in order to run against Blatter for FIFA president.
But in the end, Blatter won over most of the votes in Asia and Africa, which almost gave him a sure chance of victory.
All in all, the battles here are not just divided by simple regions, but are more complicated.
In Yang Huan's view, if there were Chinese people involved, he would definitely support it fully, but since there was not, of course he would choose the former between Gianni Infantino and Ali.
"Master Huan, you mean Infantino will replace Platini" Yang Huan smiled slightly, "This is double insurance."
"Then the 2022 World Cup"
You know, the emperor has already made harsh words, and he has the momentum to use aircraft carriers and missiles to defend the right to host the World Cup.
Therefore, the right to host the World Cup in 2018 should be no problem.
Who is so out of their minds that they want to fight against Russia?
But in 2022, firstly, there is still a long time to prepare, and secondly, Qatar does not have much say.
It has been bullied and does not dare to say anything.
This is not the best punching bag to scare the monkeys.
Yang Huan knew exactly what Prime Minister Hamad and the Qatari government were thinking.
To be honest, Qatar is nothing in front of big countries like the United States, Russia and the United Kingdom.
“This July, the North American Gold Cup will be held in the United States.
In the past 24 years, the Gold Cup has been held twelve times, eleven of which were held in the United States.
This time, the United States has launched a total of thirteen events.
City."
“Next July, the Copa America Centenary Tournament launched by South American Football Association will invite 16 South American teams to participate, more than the 12 teams in the Copa America, and the competition location will also leave South America and go to ten cities in the United States. to hold.”
"In 2017, it will be the North American Gold Cup again, and at the end of July every year, it will be our International Champions Cup, as well as a series of other supporting warm-up events.
Therefore, in the next few years, the football craze in the United States will become more and more popular. high."
Hearing what Master Huan said, Prime Minister Hamad's heart trembled. what does this mean If you follow what Master Huan said, doesn't it mean that the United States is very interested in the 2022 World Cup?
You must know that if Qatar's bid to host the World Cup was declared illegal in 2016, there would still be six years of preparation time by 2022, which would be enough for the United States.
This is also fully consistent with the United States’ football revitalization strategy in the past, present, and future years.
But for Qatar, this is a disaster.
They have paid so much in order to bid for the World Cup, invested so much money in building World Cup venues, and other supporting facilities.
If the World Cup does not come, then everything they have will be in vain.
But Qatar has nothing to do about this.
Because things have completely exceeded their expectations.
It should be said that things have been out of control since the United States and Britain strongly intervened in FIFA.
It can be said that they cannot protect themselves now.
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Hamad really panicked.
Because he knows very well that as a small country in the Middle East, Qatar is simply unable to stop this matter unless Prime Minister Hamad immediately raised his head and looked at Young Master Yang Huan, who was there
