Chapter 60: The Story Behind the National Derby

Fortunately, in order to keep his surroundings from being too noisy, Javier rented not only the chaise longue for himself, but also the chaise longue on his left and right. Now, those two deck chairs can belong to Thunderwing and Tigos! Not only that, considering that Lei Yi and he were not actually familiar with him, Javier also gave up his chaise longue and let Tigos sit in the middle. In this way, long and short legs can sit next to his friend.

"So, you guys made a big oolong, Garrincha was supposed to go to your Sporting Lisbon, but now it's intercepted by Porto? A sad story. ”

Javier gave this assessment after hearing about the transfer market information that he didn't know from Tigos, but after that, he comforted Lei Yi: "But don't take it too seriously, you just went from Brazil to Europe, and to be honest, the difference between Porto and Sporting Lisbon is really not big for you now. If I'm not mistaken, whether you move to Sporting Lisbon or Porto, you'll be able to play in the UEFA Champions League for the new season. ”

Thunder Wing: "Yes, I found that! ”

Xavier: "Of course, we at Atletico Madrid are the same, and we can play in the European Champions Cup next season. You may not know which club I play for, but I'll introduce myself, I'm playing for Atletico Madrid in La Liga and I'm team-mates with Enzo Guti. Although when it comes to La Liga, the first reaction of many fans is Real Madrid and Barcelona, but our Atletico Madrid is still quite strong. ”

"You're new to Europe, and you probably don't know a lot yet, my friend Leiy. Maybe I have to tell you a little bit about Atletico Madrid, this club has always been very strong, and has won several La Liga titles, several UEFA Cup competitions, but they are not very commercially valuable, just like our top three. However, Atletico Madrid has a few traditions, and that is...... Out of the Golden Boy! In recent years, the Spanish golden boys have basically been born in Atletico Madrid. ”

Tigos was unhappy with Javier's humble self-introduction, and in his opinion, Atletico Madrid had a lot of interesting traditions that made him want to talk to his new friends. But when he said in an extremely exaggerated tone, "In recent years, the Spanish golden boy has basically been from Atletico Madrid", the Spaniard with blonde hair couldn't help but laugh. He sat up from the recliner, looked at Lei Yi, and said in Portuguese:

"Don't listen to him. Let me tell you how you can become the golden boy of Spain. First of all, he is a Spaniard and comes from clubs other than Barcelona and Real Madrid. Then, when you're still young, score the goal of either of these two teams. You only need to achieve these two points and you will become Spain's golden boy. ”

Javier had barely finished saying this when he was booed by Tigos. Clearly, the Portuguese are complaining about the hypocrisy of the latest Spanish golden boy.

'You didn't score more than once against Barcelona. That's a brace! ”

As he spoke, Tigos made an extremely exaggerated grimace with a very exaggerated expression. But Javier apparently didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he put on his sunglasses again and lay down. But Tigos obviously didn't intend to end the conversation just like that, but he wasn't happy to keep chasing the haughty guy any longer, so he turned to the long and short legs.

Tigos: "Maybe I have to tell you something that almost all of Europe knows, Leiy, Real Madrid want him, very much. Because this guy poured two goals into Barcelona when he first played Barcelona, but it wasn't long before that Real Madrid lost to Barcelona in the league. ”

Lei Yi: "But why does it have to be Real Madrid?" Don't Barcelona want Javier to play for them too? After all, he scored two goals against Barcelona, didn't he? In general, shouldn't it be that Barcelona will want him more? ”

Tigos: "Oh, that's complicated to explain. First of all, Javier is a Madridian, which means that he is a Castilian. But Barcelona is the capital of the Catalan region. Do you know the origins of the Castilian and Catalans? ”

When Tigos said this, Lei Yi shook his head very dryly, indicating that he didn't know anything about this, so Tigos turned his head to look at Javier who was lazily basking in the sun there, and said, "Hey, as a Castilian, I think it's better for you to explain this question, okay?" You can't let a foreigner explain your own internal contradictions, can you? ”

"Are you sure? Are you sure you want a Castilian to describe the contradictions between us and the Catalans to a person from a non-European country? ”

When Javier said this, Tigos's expression obviously became very exciting, and he scratched his ears and cheeks for a while before he gestured to Javier with his expression, "Why not?" ”

Then Javier sat up a little more and said: "Generally speaking, both the Castiians and the Catalans insist that they belong to different races, and that the contradictions between the two sides have been around for a long time, and they have often been fighting each other for centuries. In the future, you will find that European football actually contains many factors, and politics is a very important part of them. Typically, the two derby teams have very different political opinions, as well as the composition of their main fans. ”

At this point, Javier laughed, took off his sunglasses again, looked at Lei Yi, who was listening carefully to what he was saying, and said: "For example, Barcelona, many of the players in Barcelona have the same political views in some aspects. They support Catalan independence, what a stupid political opinion of a fool. Sometimes I really don't understand what's in their heads. ”

Thunder Wing: "Plus...... Catalonia ......? ”

Javier: "yes. Tigos, you try to explain this with Garrincha? You can't expect a foreigner to explain such a complex issue to another foreigner in Portuguese, right? ”

"To put it simply, they want Catalonia to break away from Spain and become a ...... Country. Yes, it's the country of the best. ”

When Tigos said this, Thunder Wing almost didn't hold back and said loudly, "What! Still**? Spain is small enough!! ”

But thank goodness that at such a critical moment, the long and short legs kept their mouths shut!! He just listened very carefully to his friends to explain these things related to European football, which he did not know, and objectively existed.

When Tigos finished explaining the issue of "Catalan independence", Javier continued:

"In fact, every few years the Catalans make a big fuss, a big one. But as far as I can see, they are just banding together to ask the government for privileges. The people of Barcelona should not be involved in this, let alone call on their fans to vote in the Catalan **, they should think about who else they can play with if Catalonia really breaks away from Spain? They have to re-establish a Catalan league, apply to join UEFA, and then they have to calculate the European points of the Catalan First Division, and based on the overall level of football in Catalonia, I really doubt that they will be able to get a Champions League place in the end, maybe they will have to go from the qualifying round to round out. But I put this too complicated to sum up in one sentence, if Catalonia really ** goes out, Barcelona will have to play with themselves. Of course, they can also play with Espanyol. ”

As the current Spanish golden boy said, if Catalonia really goes out, nothing else can be said, but football will definitely become a serious problem for Barcelona.

For many fans, it will just become the highlight of European football, from the top five leagues to the big five leagues plus a Barcelona!

But for Barcelona, the problem is big, and the problems involved will be multifaceted. The most pressing thing is that they are likely to miss at least one season of Champions League games. And even the UEFA Cup will become irrelevant to them. Because, if a team wants to play in these two top competitions between European clubs, they must be in a UEFA member country at least.

For example, England is a member of UEFA, Spain, Italy, France, and Germany are all members of UEFA. Then, the top teams in the top domestic leagues, English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga of these countries will be able to participate in the European inter-club competitions hosted by UEFA according to the rules.

However, how to participate, each league can have a few places, which has to be ranked according to the European points of each league.

So, what about European points? You can think of it as the group stage points that teams get in the group stage at the World Cup, but it's much more complicated to calculate. Every year, UEFA calculates the European points of each league based on the results achieved by the clubs of the major leagues in the previous year's European club competitions, and finally determines the ranking of the major leagues in Europe based on this European score.

The league positions in Europe are different, and the number of places they can get in the Champions League and Europa League will of course vary.

So, if Catalonia really succeeds!! How should Barcelona's giant team be? Where do they go from here!! The domestic league and their local derby team, RCD Espanyol, can play with them, but what about their Champions League ties! What to do!! And what to do!! With the efficiency of Europeans, how many years will they have to wait for the day when Catalonia joins UEFA as a member state? And what about their European points? Will Barcelona and Espanyol join forces to kill the wolves? Will Catalonia always have one team in the Champions League?
