On the third day of Gao Han's return to Manchester from Madrid, Chinatown once again announced on various platforms at the same time that the team had brought in 24-year-old midfielder Michu from Celta Vigo in La Liga for 1 million euros.

The reason why it is so cheap is mainly because there is only one year left on the contract between Michu and Celta Vigo, and so far, Chinatown is the only team interested in Michu, and one million euros is like pie in the sky for a La Liga team like Celta Vigo who does not have to worry about relegation, but it is difficult to be promoted, where will it be refused?

Of course, Armando Marcos' excellent negotiations were also crucial.

This is the first signing announced by Chinatown this summer, which makes many fans who care about Chinatown and La Liga feel particularly curious, what is the origin of this Michu?

But on the same day that the team announced the introduction of Michu, Chinatown officially announced again that the main striker Diego Costa successfully transferred to Real Madrid for a sky-high price of 50 million euros, which is also the highest price in the European transfer market so far this summer, and Diego Costa has also become the summer transfer king.

No one expected that Real Madrid, which has always been associated with Dzeko, would suddenly turn the gun and take down Diego Costa, which caught everyone in the world off guard and also hit Wolfsburg's little Honess, but in order to save face, he said in an interview with the media that night that the club never wanted to sell Dzeko.

But nothing is more painful than Dzeko, and the Bosnia and Herzegovina international has even denounced the management in the media for harming himself.

As for Real Madrid's 50 million euros to bring in Diego Costa, everyone feels that it is inflated, but it is understandable.

Diego Costa has performed very well in the last two seasons, especially in La Liga last season, although he did not score many goals, but the tactical effect is very obvious, the rapid progress, the young age, coupled with the aura of Gao Han, make everyone very optimistic about the Brazilian striker.

Real Madrid was forced to use the release fee to buy Diego Costa after many unsuccessful searches and little transfer time, although the price was high, but it was understandable.

Of course, there are also some Real Madrid fans and media people who are dissatisfied and puzzled by this transfer, because they all believe that although Diego Costa has potential and strength, he does not have the capital to gain a foothold in Real Madrid, so they are all worried about Diego Costa's prospects, and they are afraid of repeating Adebayo's mistakes.

The happiest is none other than Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho.

Speaking at the press conference on Diego Costa's arrival at Real Madrid, the Portuguese said that the arrival of the Brazilian striker fills the last gap in Real Madrid's squad, and he firmly believes that Diego Costa is extraordinarily capable of playing an amazing role in Real Madrid.

For the praise from the new manager, Diego Costa also excitedly said that he will give his all and hope to help Real Madrid achieve more and better results.

Judging from Real Madrid's recruitment this season, although a lot of money was spent, it did not bring in a superstar, and this transformation also attracted media attention, but Real Madrid president Florentino denied that the club had abandoned the superstar strategy.

"In fact, we've been working hard to bring in the world's best superstars. ”

After Diego Costa's transfer to Real Madrid, Chinatown coach Mauricio Pochettino also announced the closure of the transfer door.

Throughout the summer, Chinatown sent away Diego Costa and Mkhitaryan, and only introduced two players, Michu and Varane, of which only Michu was announced to the public, and Varane did not attract attention because he continued to be on loan in Ligue 1 Lens, and Lens was only a relegation team in Ligue 1.

However, Diego Costa's transfer did not attract much attention, as Spanish and European football was quickly shaken by another thing, and that was an official statement issued by the Spanish Football Federation on its official website.

In this statement, the Spanish Football Federation said that due to the unsatisfactory results of negotiations with professional leagues and the government in the past period, the Spanish Football Federation has decided to suspend domestic football competitions at all levels and in all competitions in the new season, that is, to boycott the competition.

But the statement also said that it will not affect domestic teams to participate in European competitions.

In the statement, the Spanish Football Federation accused the professional leagues and the government of bypassing the Football Association and formulating a plan for the full implementation of the La Liga broadcast rights reform from 2013, which seriously violated the relevant regulations of the Spanish Football Federation, UEFA and FIFA, and disregarded the rights and interests of 600,000 football players at all levels, 30,000 managers and 15,000 football institutions.

After the efforts of the Football Association and the negotiation with many parties, but the government and the professional leagues are arrogant, resulting in the problems that seriously affect the football game can not be effectively resolved, therefore, the Football Association held an internal meeting, the referee committee, the coaching committee and the players' union all agreed that they will not continue to participate in the competition, and the suspension of the league is inevitable.

But at the end of the statement, the Spanish Football Federation still said that it hopes that the government and professional leagues can continue to maintain effective communication with the Spanish Football Federation on relevant issues, and strive to promote the orderly progress of La Liga in the new season.

As soon as this statement of the Spanish Football Federation was made public, it immediately caused an uproar around the world.

At the beginning of August, the La Liga Professional League organized 20 La Liga teams and 22 La B teams to negotiate, and 42 teams unanimously agreed to formally promote the reform of broadcasting rights in 2013, agreeing to the reform plan of Vice President Javier Tebas, and the government also quickly agreed to the reform plan submitted by the professional league.

Only the Spanish Football Association not only refused to send representatives to attend the meeting, but also opposed the reform plan for the first time after the plan was released, questioning the legitimacy of the reform plan, and emphasizing that it bypassed the management of the Football Association, and even the senior management of the Spanish Football Association anonymously announced in the media that if there is no effective communication with the Football Association on the plan, La Liga may face a boycott.

In fact, half a month has passed, and the rumors of La Liga suspension and boycott have been endless, but now, the Spanish Football Federation has finally pushed the acute problem to the forefront.

In particular, the Spanish Football Federation issued a joint statement with the referees' committee, the coaches' committee and the players' union, and the situation is clearly in full swing.

However, shortly after the Spanish Football Federation issued a boycott statement, the president of Spain's Supreme Sports Council and Secretary of State for Sports, Risaveschi, quickly responded, saying that the boycott was a betrayal of the rights and interests of all professional football practitioners.

"The Football Association is simply unreasonable! They think that this will attract the attention of the government? Do they want to solve this problem by making trouble? This is so ignorant! What they are doing is insulting the democracy and the rule of law in our country. ”

Risaveschi also vaguely pointed the finger directly at Bilal, "There are some people who are too self-righteous, they regard professional football as a forbidden place, and what they say is the rights of players, referees and fans, but look at what they have done in the past few years, are they really as righteous as they claim?"

The Spanish Secretary of State for Sports also said that the Spanish broadcasting rights reform plan has been unanimously approved by 20 La Liga teams and 22 La B teams, and the legitimacy has also been affirmed by the government, and it will definitely be implemented in 2013.

"Here, I also appeal to certain people not to go further and further down the path of selfishness. ”

Soon, the Spanish Professional League also quickly followed suit, issuing a statement saying that the unilateral decision of the Spanish Football Federation was invalid.

"According to the provisions of the Spanish domestic sports law, it is the power of the sports league to organize events and set the schedule, that is, the power belongs to the professional league, not to the Spanish Football Federation, which has been very clear since the establishment of the professional league, we have the management and operation of La Liga and La B, and the Spanish Football Federation is only responsible for the national teams and other leagues at all levels. ”

"I don't know why this time the Spanish Football Federation made such a statement, but I would like to say that this is based on ignorance and not even the most basic legal texts. ”

Javier Tebas, vice president of the professional league, said in an interview with the media that he would start discussions with the referees' committee, the players' union and the coaching committee as soon as possible.

"All three institutions arranged for representatives to attend the congress at the beginning of August, and they all knew very well that the reform plan we made was not only to protect the rights and interests of all La Liga and La B teams, but also to protect the rights and interests of all referees, players and coaches, which will be of great significance for the development of professional football in Spain now and in the future. ”

Javier Tebas even expressed sarcasm at the Football Association's suggestion that the government and professional leagues should take the initiative to consult with them, believing that it was blind and arrogant, and that after doing something against the law, he dared to be so blatant.

The blatant firing of the tripartite forces in the media immediately caused a worldwide shock.

There is only about half a month left before the start of La Liga, and the Spanish Football Association ignited the fire at this time, obviously to roast the professional league and the government on the fire, and almost all the media believe that the reason why the Football Association is doing this is precisely to be dissatisfied with the new broadcast rights distribution plan and the share given to the Spanish Football Association.

"Don't say it in a big way, they just want to get a bigger share, but ask yourself, this group of old men sitting in the office really deserve so much?" said Radio Serre's de la Morena publicly.

The Spanish media also took turns to interpret this three-country killing, and they all believed that the Spanish Football Association's approach violated the law, and the purpose was just to get more benefits for themselves, not for others.

And as a long-time FIFA vice-president, Bilal's connections quickly came to fruition.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter was quick to speak to the media, publicly supporting the Spanish Football Federation's approach and warning the Spanish government that legal intervention in professional football would be considered political interference, and Spain would be banned from FIFA and UEFA league competitions, whether for national teams or clubs.

However, on this issue, UEFA President Michel Platini chose to remain silent, saying that UEFA is studying the specific situation and calling on all parties to remain calm and rational and resume consultation and dialogue.

If the previous statement of the Spanish Football Association still received a lot of support and sympathy, then with Blatter and FIFA's high-pressure statement, public opinion in the entire Spanish and even European football has suddenly reversed.

In a poll conducted by the newspaper Marca, 96.5 percent of the participants disagreed with the boycott, with most believing that the Spanish Football Federation was sacrificing the interests of fans, clubs and players by organizing a boycott for the sake of gambling.

"What about the commercial interests behind the clubs and the stars if the league is shut down?

The players' union also quickly issued a statement, calling on all parties to negotiate calmly, and at the same time clarified the attitude of the players' union, participating in the boycott is not a threat or taking sides, but just to protect the rights and interests of the players from being violated.

"We have always been in effective communication with the government and professional leagues. ”

The referees and coaches were quick to issue statements clarifying their attitudes and even ruling out the possibility of cancelling the strike after receiving a valid commitment.

This undoubtedly further isolated the Spanish Football Federation.
