Chapter 799 Various Talk Shows
"The latest news on this station, the chairman of Portsmouth FC and the famous director Mr. Bramble, has publicly declared war on UEFA and the FA, announcing that he will set up a top league ...... across Europe"
"Mr. Bramble has lashed out at the top of the big clubs. Well, if it weren't for the word invective......"
"The current president of Portsmouth will challenge the existing football system on his own......"
“......”
Like a tsunami, Jing Jian's interview quickly swept the headlines of the world's major media, and its popularity was unparalleled for a while, and the scandals of leaders or celebrities of any country were all squeezed into the secondary pages. I have to admit that football deserves to be the number one sport in the world, and its popularity and attention are not comparable to anything else.
And all kinds of media flocked to various football institutions and various giants, but unfortunately they all ate the closed doors. To be honest, all sides were also confused by Jing Jian's astonishing remarks, and they were urgently negotiating and preparing to discuss a countermeasure. As for the media reporters, all parties issued a unified "silence order".
Interviews are not available for the time being, and the media will certainly not be idle. As a result, various interview programs have appeared, and guests from all walks of life have been invited to discuss and analyze.
Among them, the BBC's is more representative:
“...... As a football legend, what do you think of Chairman Bramble's remarks?"
"I think it's going to ruin football, it's a naked stain, football was, is, future, and the most important thing is never money! For example, I would welcome the advent of the three-point system. And when Chairman Bramble bought Portsmouth FC in League Two, I was also one of only a handful of people to publicly congratulate him. This time, however, Chairman Bramble went too far. He put money above the art of football, so that players no longer strive to improve their skills, but become slaves to money. I would like to give a word of advice: Mr. Bramble, you want to gradually push towards more commercialization, which is understandable, and you can also talk about it slowly at the round table. But you can't do it like in an interview, you put English football, English football, even world football, clubs, players...... Everything is ruined!"
“...... I deeply agree with what Mr. Charlton has just said, that such a dramatic change, or rather a revolution, may not be as rosy as President Bramble's picture of a bright future, but will bring about a catastrophe. At the very least, there are strong pains during the reform period. However, as a fan, I personally have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I'm looking forward to the best clubs and best players in the world competing together to bring the best of the game to the highest level. Forgive me for my bluntness, it's not the current Champions Cup, because it's full of too many second- and third-rate teams in small leagues, and the home-and-away elimination system is quite accidental. But on the other hand, I was disgusted with that Chinese boy's approach......"
“...... Here, I try to discard my personal emotions as much as possible and analyze the matter from my legal professional point of view. It is clear that all of Mr Bramble's actions are completely legal and feasible to circumvent the FA's, national football associations and UEFA industry restrictions. The only obstacle is whether the management company is making money? I haven't read the commercial feasibility report myself, but I make my personal judgment from what I know – the probability of success is quite high......"
“...... That's what worries me. As Mr. Houghton said, this is an ambitious and commercially valuable business plan. We can assume that even if Chairman Bramble abandons this plan for various reasons, others will be interested. Of course, this is on the premise that UEFA and FA abandon this plan. So in order not to be deprived of their own interests, UEFA and FA are likely to compromise with President Bramble. I'm not going to make any predictions here, but one thing is for sure – whoever leads the business, it is likely that the implementation of this business plan will be imperative......"
"You mean ......, has Pandora's box been opened?"
"I'm sorry, but it is!"
“......”
The BBC's talk show is more professional, inviting experts in various fields to dissect and analyze the topic from various angles. However, more talk shows tend to be more entertaining:
“...... That Chinese kid scolded UEFA, the FA, Manchester United and Liverpool in China, and even Real Madrid, AC, and Bayern on the European continent...... Haha, I found out that he has offended everything that can be offended. ”
"And that's not all, he even has the refereeing committee and the IFAB (International Football Association Council). The four English Football Associations and the International Football Federation (FIFA) – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland – are the international groups that discuss and decide to change the rules of football). There seemed to be nothing he didn't dare to do. ”
"Really?"
"Hehe, look at this part of the interview - the video technology has long been perfected, and it is completely possible to judge controversial offsides, goals, fouls and penalties through slow-motion replays. This technology has already been used in the four major leagues in the United States to assist the referee in enforcing the law, but the referee committee and IFAB strongly disagree? If my understanding is correct, any rule is to maintain the fairness and justice of the game? I can't imagine that in full view of tens of thousands of viewers and millions of TV viewers, slow-motion replays can lead to wrong penalties? So why are the referees and IFAB reluctant to change it? Then there is only one logical outcome - they want to manipulate the game through the referees! Match-fixing! Blow the black whistle!"
"God, that's a tough accusation, isn't it?
"Hehehe, I'll say it here, I feel that Mr. Bramble seems to have told the truth. In major leagues and European competitions, that kind of game is not news. ”
"Okay, okay, I'm here to admire Mr. Bramble's courage. There is a question, how dare he offend the referee committee? Doesn't his Portsmouth want to compete again in the future?"
"Don't you see? He's ready to form a new top league, hire professional referees, and choose his own rules, so he probably doesn't need to pay attention to the referee committee and the IFAB at all?"
"Hahaha......"
