Chapter 160: The Wind of Football Rises

Like his brother Monterto Torrivo, Ribery Scar also scored all of France's goals in this World Cup.

In the final round of Group A, France lost 1:2 to the host South Africa, and both teams were eliminated. South Africa set a precedent for the hosts to fail to reach the rematch, while France also finished bottom of the group with one draw and two defeats.

0:0 Uruguay, 0:2 Mexico, Scar's goal in the 70th minute was the only goal scored by France in the 19th World Cup. Before the match against South Africa, if France want to qualify, they must beat South Africa by at least 3 goals, and they also have to hope that Ukraine will win against South Africa, and if Ukraine and Mexico draw, the match between France and South Africa will be meaningless.

Uruguay did win 1-0 against Mexico after 90 minutes, but the heart of the midfield, Gourcuff, elbowed South Africa's man in the 25th minute and was sent off with a red card, leaving France with a tear. A few troublemakers were hidden, and Scar, who wore the captain's armband, fought the whole game, but only got a goal and a disappointment.

Scar and the second brother each contracted all the team's goals, France and Italy were the only two traditional powerhouses to be eliminated, and the other high rollers made it to the tournament.

Argentina, who qualified ahead of schedule, beat Greece lightly, and the three-game winning streak made Maradona proud like a concubine. After the game, the captain of the Greek team, Dras, announced his retirement from the national team, and the 34-year-old rock was disappointed in his last World Cup, and Greece lost even South Korea with no temper.

Argentina is full of flowers, but Messi still hasn't opened up, and I don't know what he's busy with in the three group games. Portugal 0:0 Brazil, the promotion was promoted, and Ronaldo naturally did not score. Kaka was suspended and did not play, so the total number of goals scored by the four kings in this World Cup has only increased by one goal, and Zhuo 7 Luo 1 has a total of 8.

Germany cautiously won 1-0 against Ghana in the final game, and Erda Eye scored the only goal, which Erwa passed to him. The Netherlands don't have much to say, they are the most consistent team at this World Cup, with three wins in a row comfortably. It's just that the Netherlands has become a big winner, which is not good news for Zhuo Yang, and the opponent of the Chinese team in the round of 16 is them.

It is worth celebrating the Chinese team to qualify as second in the group, but it is also regrettable that they did not become the top team in the group. Now that I think about it, it would be nice to be able to draw with Paraguay in the first game, because the second in the group had to face the Netherlands, which was full of champions, and Zhuo Yang was still afraid of the grinding of the eighth master, so he was about to face his brother Butcher de Jong, and the butcher was a large and bold eighth master.

Paraguay, who are the top team in Group F, only need to deal with Japan.

In this World Cup, the top three East Asian teams all advanced to the semifinals with the second place in the group, China 8:3 Cameroon, Japan 3:1 Denmark, and South Korea 2:0 Greece, becoming their respective classic victories. China, Japan and South Korea have given Asia a face, while Australia has been eliminated, but it is not a shame, Kangaroos have four points like China and South Korea, but they have fallen to third in the group.

Only the most mysterious North Korea before the game was all empty, and the top 32 came to the bottom, but there was still a goal. Many people have said that North Korea is the lowest-paid team in the top 32, but this is not true, and North Korea should be the highest-paid. Because all the other top 31 players receive salaries, and the salaries paid by the capitalist bosses, only the North Korean players receive the salaries of the state treasury.

Spain also qualified as top of the group after winning 2-1 against Chile, with goals scored by Villa and Xiaobai. At the end of the group stage, Villa, Higuain and Li Jinyu scored 3 goals and temporarily tied for third place in the scorer list.

Those who should have gone are gone, like Samuel Eto'o. Those who shouldn't have gone have also gone, such as the second brother and Scar. The sixteen immortals have returned to their respective places, and the World Cup schedule has actually passed most of the time, but the real essence is about to begin.

The World Cup is in full swing in South Africa, and the rest of world football has not stopped talking. The day after the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals, Zhuo Yang received the news that Joan Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, had resigned as chairman and no longer held any position in the club.

Laporta is out of Barcelona for good!

In fact, this news is not abrupt for Laporta and Zhuo Yang, who already knew that this summer would not be easy to pass long before the end of the season. Last year, Laporta foiled the impeachment plot against him by vice-president Russell, but the process was so dangerous that he almost didn't survive it.

Last summer's record-breaking acquisition of Zhuo Yang became a key move for Laporta, and the news directly aborted Russell's impeachment plan. A year later, however, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the unsuccessful gamble on the Champions League led to another opportunity for Russell to reactivate the impeachment motion.

FC Barcelona's members aren't all fools or meritocracists, and they know that the last four of the Champions League are anything but a failure, and they are cheering at the return of the domestic doubles. But the defeat in the semi-finals of the Champions League was only a trigger for Rusell, and the gamble was one of Laporta's crimes.

Because of the loss of the championship, Rusell can cause the club's huge debt crisis, the introduction of luxury players such as Zhuo Yang is not a crime, and the high salary burden is not the fault, but the lack of a breakthrough in the results has made the club's operation in jeopardy, which Laporta cannot get rid of.

However, the underlying cause of the poor management is the unfavorable investment attraction, including the advertising of the jersey chest, which was originally smooth sailing, but the merchants from China and the Middle East suddenly retreated at the same time, causing Laporta's business plan to suffer a major setback.

And the root cause of this situation comes from Laporta's political mistakes, rashly proposing that Catalonia's "national gong vote" has caused him trouble. The Spanish government believes that Laporta is a troublemaker, so it has reached a tacit agreement with China and other relevant countries through state behavior, and of course, the Spanish government will definitely compromise its international interests in the process.

In fact, UEFA is also very disgusted with Laporta's use of politics to coerce football, and it is difficult to say whether Barcelona lost to Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-finals, after all, a life-and-death penalty was missed at Camp Nou in the second leg. It is said that Platini is Barcelona's godfather, but the godfather is not his own father, and there is no reason to get used to you for anything.

Laporta's opponent Russell, on the other hand, has cooperated with the Spanish government and the Football Federation, although Rosell is also a Catalan, he is not radical, seeking political and economic privileges for Catalonia, but does not use Canadian independence as a political platform. What's more, Rosell agreed to depoliticise FC Barcelona and pledged not to use Barca's influence to promote his political claims. This is very much to the appetite of the Spanish government and the football world, so Russell has the support of the mainstream Spanish society.

Coupled with Laporta's own innocence in 'public spending' and 'personal fraud', Rosell immediately looked exhausted when he pulled up the list, all of which combined to make Laporta have to face a surging number of member questions.

Having been impeached and ousted from office is a huge stain on his political career, and according to the club's constitution, there will be no chance of returning to office. Through analysis and investigation, Laporta knew that it would be difficult for him to survive impeachment this time, and in order to avoid being impeached and removed from office, Laporta chose to resign voluntarily.

On the day after his resignation, Laporta called Zhuo Yang.
