Yang Huan once heard a very interesting joke.

The Americans say that I am the biggest in the world, and I can fight whoever I want, and the British say that I am the second, and I will fight whoever the American boss beats.

The French say, whoever hits me, I'll hit whomever I want, and the Japanese say, whoever hits me, I let the American dad hit whomever I want.

It's a joke, but it's an interesting spoof of the current world situation.

The United States is the only one, this is a clear thing, and they can even threaten that everything that happens on this earth is under their control, so people give them the nickname of the world policeman.

However, football, consciously or unconsciously, plays an exception.

Since the subprime mortgage crisis, the ****** government has proposed a return to manufacturing, but in reality, everyone knows that this is just a slogan, and the US government knows it too, so they have been actively looking for any means to stimulate economic recovery, including the sports industry, which has high hopes.

In the United States, the sports industry is quite large, and the business model is also very mature, generating a market value of about $500 billion per year, driving a considerable number of employees.

The NFL Football League, the NBA Professional Basketball League, the MLB Professional Baseball League and the NHL Ice Hockey League are the four major professional leagues in the United States, with nearly 70 percent of Americans including fans.

However, as the world's largest sport, football, is just getting started in the United States.

This is arguably a major flaw in the U.S. sports industry, but it can also be reversed, and it's a big opportunity.

Revitalizing the U.S. soccer industry has become a major decision of the U.S. government, and even in 2010, they proposed a plan to revitalize the U.S. soccer industry and bid to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

It's not just about football, because when the U.S. government came up with a package that included the construction and investment of urban hardware.

In other words, it's a lot beyond football.

So at that time, in the United States, dozens of cities submitted bids at the same time, and as many as 18 cities were shortlisted for the first time, all of which were famous cities in the world.

At the same time, on the other side of the Atlantic, Britain also encountered a European debt crisis and an economic downturn, and also proposed to use the football industry to revitalize the British economy, so they also proposed a package of revitalization to bid for the World Cup.

So, the world boss and his second follower made a plan at home, yes, let's not fight ourselves, 21 to add 5, the United Kingdom bid for 2018, and the United States bid for 2022, so it was decided.

It sounds a lot like Spain and Portugal dividing the east and west halves of the world back in the day.

But what's worse is that the way they deal with international affairs is put into the world of football, but it doesn't work at all.

When the 2018 and 2022 World Cups were announced, Americans and Britons were stunned.

Nimei, the 2018 World Cup didn't give me Lao Ying's face, even if it was returned to Russia?

Don't you FIFA know that we are sanctioning Russia?

Also, in 2022, it was given to Qatar, a small country in the Middle East?

I'm rubbing, my family is counting on the World Cup to revitalize, you actually gave Qatar that tyrant?

What is even more humiliating is that when the 2018 World Cup was voted for, Britain only got two votes, one of which was voted for itself, crying to death!

And the United States is even more miserable, eight to fourteen, the four European votes that were originally done in advance, and the result was also given to Qatar, which is really a mess.

This time, Lao Mei and Lao Ying were angry.

Usually it's just us brothers who play with us, who can play us?

What's even more hateful is that you just play one, and you still play our brothers together!

It's really unbearable for uncles and aunts!

As a result, Lao Mei and Lao Ying became angry, and FIFA corruption officially kicked off!

In the whole thing, Blatter was actually quite depressed.

The emperor of international football has always been accustomed to playing prestige in his own acre and three-point land, and only recognizes interests and not people, but in all this, he obviously offended people he couldn't afford to offend at all.

Whether he was motivated by personal interests or wanted to flaunt FIFA's detachment and independence in this way, this time he was playing himself.

From the standpoint of Qatar and Russia, they are the most worrying.

Especially Qatar.

Russia's World Cup is 2018, and there are only three years to go, and no one can take over Russia in a hurry, so there should be no problem with Russia's World Cup.

But not necessarily in Qatar.

This is also why Prime Minister Hamad and the Qatari government are so worried.

What if the American dad really grabbed the right to host the 2022 World Cup?

Originally, in Qatar's view, it would be good if Platini could be successfully elected president of FIFA.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that things have exceeded everyone's imagination.

With Blatter's downfall, Platini may not be spared.

This is also something that Yang Huan had not imagined before.

This trip became more and more muddy, and even Platini fell into it.

Even Yang Huan had to admit that he had indeed miscalculated.

However, after listening to Prime Minister Hamad's worries, Yang Huan shook his head again, "Even if Platini is finished, so what?" ”

"What do you mean?" Hamad is a little confused.

Yang Huan smiled and shook his head, "UEFA has made second-hand preparations, if something really happens to Platini, they will push Secretary General Gianni Infantino to come forward to run, he is Swiss, a lawyer, and the anti-corruption and anti-gambling in European football in recent years have also been impressive, so ......"

When Prime Minister Hamad heard this, his eyes lit up.

Isn't the problem of corruption that FIFA is facing now?

At this time, isn't it just right for a neutral and at the same time resolutely ****** Swiss lawyer to be the president of FIFA?

What's more, although Infantini is a spare tire and doesn't have much fame, I'm afraid there won't be a few people who have an opinion about him, and even in the eyes of Americans, it's much better to be in charge by a Swiss than someone from the Middle East, Africa, South America and other regions, right?

At least, that's white Europeans, okay?

"Gianni Infantino...... "Prime Minister Hamad pronounced the name, completely unfamiliar.

"Who?" He asked his precious son beside him.

Hamad, the little prince of the Middle East, also had a dark eye and shook his head, I don't know.

Prime Minister Hamad almost slapped him, what about you?

It's all going to European football, why are you so much different from Master Huan?

Look at Young Master Huan, how capable and capable he is?

If you have half of Young Master Huan, then I will have a lot of peace of mind!

"Gianni Infantino, the host of every Champions League draw, that bald head!" Yang Huan said with a smile.

He also has a good relationship with Infantino, and in the final analysis, it is from the line of Platini.

Now UEFA and Platini have the same attitude, if Platini can run, it will be up to him, and UEFA fully supports Platini.

But if the situation is not right and Platini cannot run, then all resources should be pooled and Infantino will be fully supported.

Yang Huan has a good relationship with Infantino, and of course he is happy to see it.

Anyway, no matter who is elected, we Chinese have nothing to do, so it is better to simply think about how to make profits.

Although there will also be Asian candidates, such as Prince Ali, Yang Huan knows very well that the election of people from West Asia and the Middle East will not benefit East Asia at all, on the contrary, it will even be very disadvantageous.

For a long time, the internal power struggle of the AFC has never stopped, which has led to great internal disunity, and even divided into two major factions, East Asia and West Asia, and Prince Ali belongs to the West Asian faction.

In order to run for FIFA president with Blatter, Prince Ali tried every possible way to win over UEFA, but as a result, Blatter won most of the votes in Asia and Africa, which almost made him a sure winner.

All in all, the struggle is not just a simple geographical division, but more complex.

In Yang Huan's view, if there are Chinese participation, then he will definitely fully support it, but since there is not, between Gianni Infantino and Ali and others, of course he chooses the former.

"Young Master Huan, do you mean that Infantino will replace Platini?"

Yang Huan smiled slightly, "This is double insurance!" ”

"The 2022 World Cup ......"

You must know that the **** emperor has already released cruel words, and there is a momentum of wanting to use aircraft carriers and missiles to defend the right to host the World Cup, so the right to host the World Cup in 2018 should be no problem.

Who has a bad brain and wants to rob Russia?

But in 2022, first, there is still a long time, and there is time to prepare, and secondly, Qatar does not have much right to speak, and it is bullied, and it does not dare to speak out, this is not the best punching bag to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys?

Yang Huan is clear about Prime Minister Hamad and the Qatari government.

Truth be told, Qatar is nothing in the face of such great powers as the United States, Russia and the United Kingdom.

"This July, the North American Gold Cup will be held in the United States, and in the last twenty-four years, the Gold Cup has been held twelve, with eleven in the United States, and this time, the United States has launched a total of thirteen host cities."

"In July next year, the Copa America Centennial Tournament launched by the South American Football Federation will invite 16 South American teams to participate, more than 12 teams in the Copa America, and the venue of the competition will also leave South America to be held in 10 cities in the United States."

"In 2017, it's the North American Gold Cup, and at the end of July every year, it's our International Champions Cup, as well as a series of other supporting warm-up events, so the football boom in the United States will get higher and higher in the coming years."

Hearing Young Master Huan say this, Prime Minister Hamad's heart trembled.

What does this mean?

If according to what Young Master Huan said, doesn't that mean that the United States is very interested in the 2022 World Cup?

You know, if the bid for the right to host the World Cup in Qatar is declared illegal in 2016, there will be six years of preparation time until 2022, which is completely enough for the United States.

It is also fully in line with the U.S. strategy to revitalize football in the past, present, and years to come.

But for Qatar, this is a catastrophe.

In order to bid for the World Cup, they have paid so much, invested so much money to build World Cup venues, and other supporting facilities.

But Qatar has no way to deal with this.

Because things have been completely unexpected by them.

It should be said that from the time the United States and Britain strongly intervened in FIFA, things were already out of control.

They can't protect themselves now!

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Hamad really panicked.

Because he knows very well that for this matter, as a small country in the Middle East, Qatar is powerless to stop it at all, unless......

Prime Minister Hamad immediately raised his head and looked at Young Master Yang Huan, who was there.
