On January 27, local time in the United Kingdom, the official website of Liverpool Club congratulated the team's number one star Jiang Chenxi on leading the Chinese team to the Asian Cup final, and wished Jiang Chenxi to lead the Chinese team to win the first Asian Cup championship of Chinese football.

Liverpool's luck wasn't good, though.

Two hours after the congratulatory announcement, Jurgen Klopp's side were knocked out 3-2 on aggregate after losing 2-1 away to Chelsea in the second leg of the English League Cup.

After the game, Chelsea's Brazilian-Spanish international Diego Diego. Costa exploded into controversial remarks during an interview.

"The win belongs to Chelsea, we are stronger than them, it feels great to win, but unfortunately Jiang Chenxi is not at Liverpool, otherwise, it would be even more wonderful."

In this game, Diego. Costa scored twice and performed very well, and he was even more energetic after the game.

However, his remarks caused a lot of controversy.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp criticises Diego. Costa lacks respect for Liverpool and for Jiang Chenxi.

Liverpool fans have also slammed Diego. Costa, sarcastically, if Jiang Chenxi is in the team, I'm afraid Diego. Costa didn't dare to say these words, because after the game Diego. Instead of celebrating, Costa got a crying nose.

This made the media in England very excited and began to hype Diego. The grudge between Costa and Jiang Chenxi: It all started with last season's Champions League final, which was a dark and windy night......

……

The Asian Cup final between China and South Korea kicks off at 5 p.m. on January 31, and the final is now three days away.

After the Chinese team reached the final, local Australian media reported the influx of Chinese fans into the Australian continent with the somewhat 'sensational' headline 'Chinese occupy Sydney'.

The Sydney Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 spectators, will receive 35,000 tickets for South Korea and China according to the AFC's ticket distribution, and the remaining 5,000 or so tickets will belong to neutral fans.

However, the current situation is that 35,000 tickets simply cannot satisfy the enthusiastic Chinese fans, according to the statistics of the Australian media, there are about more than 50,000 Chinese fans pouring into Sydney, and the number continues to increase, the Chinese fans who did not get the tickets will 'idea' on the tickets in the hands of neutral fans, and now, on the Internet, a ticket for the Asian Cup final between China and South Korea has been hyped to Australian dollars, converted into RMB about 7,000 to 10,000 yuan, and the current situation is priceless.

This also made the AFC very excited, after the host Australia was out, they used to worry about the subsequent ball market, but, as it turned out, as long as it was the Chinese team's game, there was no need to worry about ticket sales.

……

As for the Chinese team, unlike the silence after the match in Australia, after the semi-final match with the United Arab Emirates, the Chinese Football Association officially submitted a report to the AFC, questioning the controversial penalty of Iranian referee Fagani in the Chinese team's match with the United Arab Emirates. The AFC was asked to conduct an investigation and give a reasonable explanation for this. However, there has been no official response from the AFC to this point so far.

This is also the norm, and it seems to be a common occurrence for the Chinese national team and the Chinese Super League to suffer unfair penalties in the Asian arena, and the AFC usually ignores this, sometimes even warning or punishing the Chinese side to 'maintain the authority of the referee'.

This time, though, things seem to have changed.

The China-South Korea battle in the Asian Cup final has attracted attention from all over Asia and even the world.

After the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, the South Korean team began to rise and became a force to be reckoned with in world football, and now the South Korean team has five or six stars playing in Europe's top leagues, and the most eye-catching for the Chinese team is naturally the new world footballer Jiang Chenxi.

In other words, the most important factor in this Asian Cup that has attracted greater attention around the world is the existence of Jiang Chenxi.

According to the survey statistics of the British "Times", as the first superstar to break the domination of Melo, Jiang Chenxi has a huge fan base around the world, and in addition to the Asian scope, a considerable number of fans around the world have been watching the Asian Cup matches of the Chinese team.

In the stands of the Chinese team's game, there have also begun to appear a lot of scouts, fundamental Chinese media reports, some Chinese team players have attracted the attention of scouts from Europe, among which the Chinese team's Wu Lei and Sun Ke have attracted the attention of some of the five major European league teams, and Hao Junmin, who has played in the Bundesliga, has also attracted the attention of some teams in the Bundesliga again.

Although these news have not been confirmed, it is clear that the Chinese team, which has received widespread attention because of Jiang Chenxi's existence, should have attracted the attention of some scouts, and as for the final result, it is not yet known.

……

At the same time, the Chinese team suffered unfair treatment from the referee in successive matches with Australia and the United Arab Emirates, which also caused many media reports and heated discussions around the world.

"The Times" bluntly said that the Chinese team suffered very unfair treatment, if it were not for the Chinese team with a superstar like Jiang Chenxi, they would probably be out early because of the referee.

Germany's "Kicker" also criticized the refereeing problem of the Asian Cup, and unceremoniously pointed out: According to our understanding, in the AFC competition, the problem of unfair law enforcement by referees has become the norm, and the Chinese team has often become a victim of referee law enforcement problems.

Spain's "Marca" said with irony that in Asian football, the game can be affected by certain factors, which may be the most direct reason why the level of Asian football is not up, especially for some teams, you don't need to improve your football level, you just need to get the referee OK!

The AFC can ignore the protests of the Chinese team, which they have always done before.

However, the AFC cannot ignore the criticism and heated discussions from many media around the world, especially from the mainstream media in Europe.

Finally, on January 29, two days before the final of the Asian Cup, the vice chairman of the AFC refereeing committee, Hani from Qatar, said that he had paid attention to the relevant appeal materials of the Chinese Football Association, and the AFC referee committee would discuss the enforcement of Fagani.

……

However, this does not make the media buy it.

The famous British football journalist David Brown. In his column, Smith harshly criticized the AFC's actions, questioning the AFC's use of 'procrastination'. Smith reminded Jiang Chenxi to be careful, he was worried that some people in the AFC would hold a grudge because of the protest of the Chinese team, which would make Jiang Chenxi in danger of being connived at for malicious fouls: because everyone knows that Jiang Chenxi is the key to victory for the Chinese team, and the rough style of the Korean team is notoriously known, and now the referees are conniving at the Chinese team, and it is impossible for the South Koreans not to notice this.

David. Smith, as a famous Ebuki, now has a huge fan base, and his column has also been reprinted by major media outlets around the world, causing huge controversy.

Subsequently, the Liverpool club issued an official statement, saying that Jiang Chenxi is Liverpool's most important property and the favorite player of Liverpool fans all over the world, and they will not tolerate hurtful behavior towards Jiang Chenxi.

The announcement of the Liverpool club was regarded by the media as the club's protection of Jiang Chenxi and the questioning of the AFC.

It is rare for a club to make such a public statement about the 'safety' of its own players, which quickly caused a stir in the global media.

This annoyed the AFC side to David. Smith's behaviour was furious and unhappy with the Liverpool club.

……

The AFC is very unhappy, however, it doesn't pay too much attention to it, Liverpool is a Premier League giant, and the AFC is not too jealous. Smith said that the AFC is procrastinating, planning to wait for the limelight to pass, and then turn the big thing into a small matter, and the matter will be over.

Soon, though, things went beyond the AFC's expectations.

UEFA President Michel Platini has publicly stated that stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as Lionel Messi and Jiang Chenxi, are treasures of world football and should be protected.

Subsequently, FIFA President Sepp Blatter also said that FIFA will strengthen the investigation into the fairness of match enforcement.

Blatter also said in particular that Jiang Chenxi is Asia's first World Footballer of the Year, and such a player is the pride of the whole of Asia and should be protected.

Blatter said he was excited and pleased with the progress of the Chinese team, and he looked forward to seeing the Chinese team in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, because the World Cup without Jiang Chenxi is not perfect.

In the World Cup, any player who wants to block Jiang Chenxi's progress with bad fouls must think twice before making a move, we need to protect players like Jiang Chenxi, they are the treasures of football, not only Jiang Chenxi, but also Messi, Ronaldo and many other players, our attitude towards savage fouls is "shoot and kill"...... Yes, I mean these foulers will be shown a yellow card, or even a red card. - In an exclusive interview with the BBC, when talking about the preparations for the 2018 World Cup, Blatter suddenly said.

PS: At night, the child had a high fever of 40.9 degrees, I was really frightened, I didn't sleep all night, I fed the medicine, I was busy cooling down, guarding the child, I took time out of the morning to hurry up with the codeword, made an appointment for the afternoon, and the pig's head was going to take the child to the hospital in the afternoon.
