The much-anticipated 2010 World Cup has finally kicked off in South Africa, with 32 teams starting a month-long hot schedule.

As a columnist for the English Guardian, Gao Han accompanied his wife and children to South Africa, running around the World Cup, writing a column every day to comment on the performance of the World Cup games, and taking his wife and children around in his spare time.

Because of his coaching experience all over the four major leagues, Gao Han's disciples also appear on all fronts of the World Cup, so as long as Gao Han can catch up and find time, he will come to the scene to supervise the battle, and if it is too late, he will definitely watch the live broadcast or broadcast, and the comments in the column are also as objective and neutral as possible.

As the most influential head coach in football today, Gao Han's column entry point is often sharper and deeper than others, commenting on the arrangement of each game and the on-the-spot performance of the players, which also brings people a sense of novelty, which makes his column published in the British Guardian, but reprinted in media newspapers around the world.

Only in China, only his wife Lin Xia's website and app have obtained the exclusive right to reprint.

In addition to Gao Han's columns, Lin Xia's company also won columns from European celebrities such as Aragonés and Cruyff, as well as columns from famous names such as Greene Wald, Martin Samuel and Javier Matayana, coupled with timely follow-up reports, which made her website and app an instant hit during the World Cup.

Throughout the World Cup schedule, Gao Han was most impressed by Loew's Germany and Bielsa's Chile.

The former is based on the players of Gao Han's coaching at Bayern Munich as the team, forming a team with strong ball control ability, very smooth playing style, and at the same time holding high the banner of offensive football, like a reborn German national team, not very old, but the style of play and strength are refreshing, although only won the third place in the end, but the future is promising.

Gao Han even commented in his column that Loew's team is on the right path, and as long as they continue down this path, with the current and future talent pool of German football, Germany will definitely be one of the strongest contenders for various titles in world football in the future.

As for Bielsa's Chile, Gao Han's evaluation is also quite high, thinking that the Argentine madman interprets his focus and madness in football in Chile, and plays hearty offensive football, although it stopped in the round of 16, it is impressive.

On the contrary, it is Brazil and Argentina, the two traditional strong teams, Gao Han expressed some disappointment, he believes that Dunga and Maradona have not fully stimulated the strength of these two teams, especially for Maradona's use of Otamendi, Gao Han expressed his disappointment.

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

Unexpectedly, during the World Cup, Maradona moved Otamendi, who originally played as a central defender, to the right side, which led to the highly promising rookie performing extremely poorly in the World Cup and was criticized by fans.

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

That is, after the World Cup, several giants who have launched fierce pursuit of Otamendi, including Real Madrid, have withdrawn and continued to maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

The World Cup ended with Spain beating the Netherlands 1-0 in extra time, with Uruguayan striker Diego Forlan winning the Ballon d'Or with five goals, Bayern Munich rookie Thomas Muller winning the Golden Boot and Rookie of the Year award, and Spain captain Iker Casillas winning the Golden Glove.

Lahm, Ramos, Schweinsteiger, Thomas Muller and Villa – five of the Alpine disciples were named in the World Cup Team of the Year list, with Bosque named Best Manager.

But if the biggest winner of this World Cup is Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez, who played for Ajax, he scored only three goals, but he was quite impressive, forming the Uruguayan trident with Edinson Cavani and Diego Forlan and leading Uruguay all the way to the semi-finals.

But it is precisely because of the shine in the World Cup that Suarez's value has skyrocketed, Ajax has repeatedly said that it is not for sale, and there are rumors in the private market that Suarez's transfer fee will exceed 60 million euros, which discourages many giant teams, after all, Suarez has not yet proven himself in the top league.

What's more, the goalscorers from the Netherlands in recent years have often struggled to adapt to the top league, such as Kezman, Kuyt and Huntelaar, and the lessons of the three predecessors have raised doubts about 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.

The Secretary of State for Sport of Spain and President of the Supreme Sports Council, Risaveschi, has officially ******** that all La Liga teams are not allowed to sign broadcast contracts for more than three years.

The order did not go unnoticed and was only reported in the media, but it caused a huge earthquake in the Spanish professional football circle, because the spearhead of the order was directly aimed at the two giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, and directly terminated their contract renewal negotiations with the pioneer media.

This immediately sparked an immediate backlash from Real Madrid and Barcelona, with the two giants expressing their dissatisfaction with the government's intervention, arguing that the clubs have the power to decide on their own rights auctions and that the government has no right to interfere.

But the reaction of the two giants immediately drew a strong counterattack from the rest of La Liga.

The first to ignite the fire was Atletico Madrid's general manager Hill Jr., who openly blasted Real Madrid and Barcelona in the media as thieves and stealing the interests of other teams.

"A football match is always played by two teams, and it is not the two giants that keep La Liga prosperous, but the other eighteen teams, and if Real Madrid and Barcelona think that they can continue their current glory without our eighteen teams, then I suggest they can form a new league on their own. ”

After Hill Jr., Chinatown general manager Armando Marcos also publicly accused the two giants of exploiting the two giants in an interview with Serre Radio de la Morena, and was very unfair to other teams.

In addition to clearly introducing the audience to the unfair distribution of broadcast rights in La Liga, Armando Marcos also fought back against Real Madrid's poaching of Chinatown, arguing that the reason why Real Madrid has money to poach four players in Chinatown in one go is because Chinatown's annual broadcast rights are less than one-tenth of the other party's.

"As you can imagine, they earn more than 130 million more than us in La Liga a a year, so what can we do to compete with them? They want to poach our players, is it not easy? Do you think this is a healthy league should have a competitive landscape?"

Armando Marcos also issued an initiative in the program, arguing that the Premier League should be emulated, adopt a more fair and just distribution model, sell broadcast rights in a unified manner, increase the income of middle and lower teams, and activate the league's competition mechanism.

"Unified distribution does not mean that the rich and poor are equal, in fact, we can see that the Premier League's strong teams are still very strong, and the adoption of the Premier League's distribution model will greatly encourage all teams to compete at the level of commercial development, which will form a good promotion for the promotion of La Liga. ”

The general manager of Chinatown also secretly hinted that some teams should not be allowed to override other teams for a long time, which will definitely do more harm than good to the overall development of the league.

After Hill Jr. and Armando Marcos, many La Liga teams, including Valencia, Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao, etc., have also come forward to publicly accuse Real Madrid and Barcelona of the unfair distribution of La Liga broadcast rights, and Sevilla President Del Nido has once again shouted fierce remarks about expelling the two giants from La Liga.

In the face of the surging emotions of the other 18 teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona also chose to respond silently, and they are still very clear about the truth that the public is angry.

It was at this time that Javier Tebas Medrano, vice president of the Spanish Professional League, officially held a press conference and publicly stated that the Spanish Professional League had received an appeal from several La Liga teams and would organize a meeting in the near future to discuss the distribution of broadcast rights in La Liga.

"This is an old topic that has plagued Spanish professional football for a decade, and we have been repeating it almost every year for the past ten years, but we have never been able to find an effective solution. ”

"Now, I think the time is ripe for us to change the current landscape of La Liga, we have to 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 by our competitors. ”

At the press conference, Javier Tebas also made no secret of his words in an interview with the media that it was very unreasonable for the two giants to share half of the broadcast fees in La Liga.

"Yes, there is no doubt that they are the most influential team in La Liga and the world, but is that because of this, they should be given such privileges? Is it true that the two teams are playing football games themselves?

Javier Tebas also acquiesced to the media's question of whether the professional league had met with the other 18 teams to discuss and form a tacit agreement to act in unison, but he thought it was a choice of last resort.

"We can see that the situation and operation of the middle and lower teams in La Liga are becoming more and more embarrassing, Chinatown ranked eighth in La Liga last season, but how much do they earn from broadcast fees? more than 10 million euros, do you know what this concept is?"

"Do you think it makes sense that Portsmouth, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, are going to play in the Championship this season and the Premier League has given them a parachute protection money that is more than Chinatown's broadcast fee income?"

It has to be said that Javier Tebas is also very good at linguistics.

The reason why Chinatown suffers so much in broadcast fees has a lot to do with the poor broadcast environment at home, but in the mouth of the president of the professional league, this has become a strong evidence that the middle and lower reaches of La Liga have won sympathy.

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

Javier Tebas's press conference immediately caused an uproar in Spanish football, European football, and even the world, and everyone clearly saw that the eighteen teams, led by the professional leagues, were finally going to launch a revolutionary clarion call to the Spanish Football Federation and the two giants.

This will be a milestone event that will profoundly change the development of professional football in Spain.
