UEFA (UEFA), the full name of the Union of European Football Associations, is responsible for governing all football affairs in Europe and represents football institutions in Europe.

From the point of view of the rights and functions of the institution, UEFA seems to be very strong, but in fact, UEFA also has weaknesses, mainly because they are the function of the institution, which can almost be said to be a collection of national football associations in Europe, a bit similar to the meaning of the United Nations, they implement rights and development, and need the support of the national football associations at the next level.

The football industry in Europe is very prosperous, and strong football countries will also have a higher voice in UEFA.

For example, England, Italy, Spain, Germany, etc.

The same.

Europe's most influential top clubs also have a higher voice in UEFA.

When it comes to club-related disputes, UEFA mostly plays a 'balancing' role, they are the only concern for the development of European football, but they don't need to really adjudicate justice.

This is true for many things.

For example, if a certain star tackles a ball in a game, a foul affects the result of the game, and the referee's decision is in favor of a certain team.

This kind of competition will cause dissatisfaction with the club concerned, and then appeal directly to UEFA, UEFA will set up a team to investigate, most of the investigation is not fast, and it can take a week to get a result even faster.

It feels strange that a small investigation took so long, but in reality, what UEFA did in the middle of the process was a 'balance' exercise, listening to the people involved and finally coming up with a neutral result that would not cause an uproar and would be barely acceptable to both clubs.

Most of UEFA's complicated work is to resolve similar disputes.

Zhen Shaolong's 'top ball charge' has attracted the attention of public opinion, and UEFA naturally intervened in the investigation, and they set up a special team to do work on this matter.

It's simple.

As long as you understand football and watch a few short videos, you can almost draw conclusions.

However, UEFA's decision cannot be so arbitrary, they have to consult all parties, but also consider the aftermath, and for more than half a month, they have listened to all sides, and finally decided to change the rules.

Overhaul, impossible.

Football rules are not something that can be easily changed, and it would be funny if there were other problems after they were changed.

Even if the rules of European football are modified, they will be applied to the leagues of various European countries, and the impact is still very large, and it is certainly not possible to make a hasty decision, and the UEFA team finally decided to recommend amending the 'Champions League rules', the UEFA Champions League belongs to the UEFA competition, and they have the right to make simple changes to the rules, plus a rule that has almost no impact, and it is only a 'tiny' restriction on Zhen Shaolong, and there are almost no restrictions on other players.

This is the result of 'balance'.

When UEFA's decision was announced, it immediately caused a heated discussion throughout Europe, and as usual, there was a large group of people who stood up for it and a large group of people who stood up against it.

It is difficult for ordinary fans to have an impact, but influential football people can stand up and still be seen in the press, and the side that supports UEFA's decision is to 'conform to the football market and develop professionally', "The reason why professional football is a profession is to seek a balance of rules to make the game more competitive, when a certain technology breaks the restrictions of the rules, so that the defending side cannot defend within the established rules, it affects the competitiveness of the game, and it should be subject to specific restrictions." ”

The opposing side said, "Football is always evolving, and UEFA is stifling the creativity of professional players by introducing restrictions on the performance of individual players!" ”

"UEFA has set a very bad example, no player will create new technology in the future, because even if it does, it will be immediately restricted!"

Everywhere there is public opinion, everywhere there is controversy.

While the media and the Internet were arguing non-stop, Newcastle United played the last two rounds of the league in a row.

The first round was against Fulham, where Newcastle United drew 1-1 with Fulham.

In the final game against Aston Villa, Newcastle United lost 1-2 away, and it is worth mentioning that Zhen Shaolong played 20 minutes and scored the only goal for the team, which also fixed his league goal tally at 56.

Newcastle United have kept a low profile throughout the two rounds.

Perhaps it is also because the media can't interview Zhen Shaolong at all, and in the public opinion environment where the outside world is talking about it, Newcastle United Club and the coaching staff all believe that "Zhen Shaolong should be protected." Before the Champions League final, he shouldn't have to face the media! ”

Zhen Shaolong has nothing to do.

Although he is not interested in UEFA's so-called decision, because the new regulations have almost no impact on him, it is better not to contact media reporters, so as not to cause any public opinion disputes, when the fame reaches the top level, every word can become a media headline, for the matter itself, the consequences of publishing in the media are unpredictable.

So it's good not to be interviewed.

With the remaining two league games over, Newcastle United are ready for the Champions League final.

Outside.

The media discussion sparked by UEFA's decision has continued for more than a week, and there is still a lot of media coverage, and as Newcastle United and Barcelona decide to unfold, the content of the report has also begun to skew towards conspiracy theories, for example, the Guardian euphemistically said, "Platini wants Barcelona to win the title." ”

This statement is very marketable.

Zhen Shaolong's 'top ball charge' is indeed a bit unreasonable, making it almost impossible for defenders to defend within the rules, but even if it is a restriction on his skills, it should not be completed in a short period of time, and there will definitely be a series of discussions, not to mention, it will involve modifying the rules of the Champions League game.

But......

It's only been half a month!

UEFA made a decision in only half a month, just in time for the match between Newcastle United and Barcelona, and no one would believe it if there was no shadow of UEFA President Michel Platini in it.

The Spanish newspaper "As" revealed the personal relationship between Laporta and Platini.

Laporta and Platini appeared at the party together, holding each other's shoulders as if they were closest friends, and the newspaper "As" also used a lot of space to explain the relationship between Platini and Barcelona to prove that Platini was inclined to Barcelona to win the championship.

The Spanish newspaper Marca also made a similar argument, saying that Platini was 'biased' towards Barcelona, but they believed that Platini wanted Barcelona to win the championship because he wanted to develop attacking football and set a typical example to improve the existing 'defensive winning' rhetoric in Europe, so as to try to get as many teams as possible to play better football.

In that regard, Newcastle United are far behind.

Newcastle United's football is definitely not good-looking, the only attraction is probably Zhen Shaolong's various goals, but it is only his own goal, and the performance time is also very short, and the overall viewing is much smaller.

Barcelona football is very spectacle, and their victory can be said to be a victory of attacking football.

No matter how much the media reports it, it can't change UEFA's decision.

Barcelona is happy.

Just like the analysis in the media, UEFA's decision is not good for Zhen Shaolong, not that it directly affects his strength, but it may affect his mentality, and it will affect his state recently, as long as Zhen Shaolong does not play well in the final, Barcelona has nothing to worry about, and their chances of winning the championship are very high.

That's what Laporta is for.

Laporta has undoubtedly been very successful as president of FC Barcelona, and during his tenure the membership of Barcelona has increased by more than 60 per cent, and the club has returned to the top of Europe.

Barcelona have not won any titles in the past two seasons, which has put pressure on Laporta.

But it doesn't matter.

Barcelona has played a solid record this season, La Liga won the championship three rounds in advance, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey have also reached the finals, and only the final title is left, Barcelona cannot fully prepare for the Champions League, because the Copa del Rey is also important to them, but after all, the opponent is only Athletic Bilbao, and it does not involve too much energy.

In other words, Barcelona can compete for the 'Treble'!

Laporta is enjoying the feeling of the club getting back to the top and he is looking forward to winning the 'treble' so that his tenure will be perfect, and UEFA's decision has brought them one step closer to the 'treble' and he can't help but share the joy with the others.

Meantime.

Newcastle United Club.

After the lunch meal, Zhen Shaolong returned to the dormitory room to rest, lying on the bed and scrolling through the news on his mobile phone.

That's right!

If it's not for Barcelona to win, why bother to adjust the rules before the Champions League final?

It's about limiting him so Barcelona can win!

Although UEFA's new rules had no impact on him, Zhen Shaolong looked at the analysis articles one by one, and still secretly felt unhappy in his heart, but he immediately changed his attitude, and his face showed infinite anticipation-

"Hint: A new system task is triggered.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta responded by using factors other than the game to influence your performance until the Champions League final, and you need to lead Newcastle United to victory.

(During the match, gain the special effect 'Pinnacle Technique'.)

'Peak Skill' halves the trigger conditions of Skillful Skill and doubles the effect of stopping the ball and unloading. ）

Reward: Increases stamina by 1. ”
