Chapter 113: Strange AFC

At the AFC headquarters, the Disciplinary Committee is meeting for some of the controversies that have arisen in the round of 10 matches that have just ended. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"What do you think about the controversial penalties in the match between Japan and Australia?"

The head of the Disciplinary Committee, Saudi Arabian Nasser, who also presided over the meeting, said this.

"The referee on duty did make a big mistake, and the committee meant that the referee would be removed from the AFC A-level tournament in the future."

"Hmm," Nasser nodded.

"And the question about Jordan in Group B going to change the home stadium, what do you think?"

"Everyone's opinion is that it is better for Jordan to have a home stadium in Doha, and the other teams in Group B do not agree to play in Jordan."

"And what about the poor quality of North Korea's home turf?"

"This can only be concluded after the AFC sends someone to the scene to investigate."

"Hmm,"

Finally, Nasser said: "So what do you think about the ban of Li Guo, the head coach of the Chinese team. ”

At this time, the secretary of the disciplinary committee, Qatari Hassan, spoke: "According to the report submitted by the Bahraini referee after the game, Li Guo's behavior was very bad, he scolded the referee on the sidelines, which violated sportsmanship, I think the head coach of the Chinese team should be banned for three games, and the Chinese team should be canceled for one home game." ”

As soon as these words came out, the venue suddenly fell silent, and Hassan's punishment can be said to be very severe, if it is really done according to what he said, then it will definitely cause an uproar.

After listening to Hassan's report, Nasser looked at the report of the Bahraini referee, and then said: "Will this punishment be too heavy, the current vice president of the AFC is Chinese." ”

Some people say that football should stay away from politics, but in reality, nothing can be away from politics, and Nasser knows the weight of Chinese in the AFC.

"I think it's very appropriate, I've watched the video of the game repeatedly, Li Guo's behavior is really serious, the job of our disciplinary committee is to ensure the authority of the referee, if the referee has no authority on the football field, then how can the football game be played?"

Nasser estimated that Hassan still resented his country's elimination by the Chinese team in the top 20, and he looked at the other members of the disciplinary committee, "What do you think? ”

Some people agree and some people disagree, so what to do? Vote? No way, the Football Federation is not so reasonable, just look at what the later FIFA black became to understand.

"We'll talk about that later."

Hassan objected, "We can't wait, the punishment has to be done immediately." ”

Nasser spread his hands, "Okay guys, the biggest favorites in Group A are South Korea and China, I can't think of any surprise, there is a more than 90% probability that these two countries will go to South Africa on behalf of Asia, and do we want to create a surprise, what does it mean to keep China out of the World Cup?" ”

Hassan said: "No, with the strength of the Chinese team, even if you go to the play-offs, you can qualify for the World Cup." ”

AFC President Hammam is a Qatari, and Nasser asked: "Let China play the play-offs?" Did the chairman tell you? ”

"Of course not, I mean sir, you are too worried, the Chinese team is not as weak as you think."

As we all know, although the AFC has 4 and a half World Cup places, because of the low level of Asian football, the half of the places cannot be contested, so there is a strange idea within the AFC to let the strong teams in Asia fight for the half of the places, and finally Asia can have 5 teams to participate in the World Cup.

This kind of thinking is not a minority, and Hassan also accidentally said it, and there are many people who agree.

"The Chinese team is the Olympic champion, and if they go to the play-offs, they will be 100 percent qualified, which may be a good thing for the AFC."

"Gentlemen, we are a disciplinary committee, not a fantasy," Nasser said angrily.

This is the version of football that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, and it is no wonder that when Australia won the Asian championship in 2015 because of the club and the national team, West Asia asked to expel Australia from the AFC.

"It's jealousy," Nasser thought to himself.

Nasser looked at Hassan: "We Arabs and Persians don't have a good relationship either, why should you help Iran." ”

Hassan put on a look of grievance, "Mr. President, you have wronged me, I didn't help anyone, I just stuck to the rules." ”

"This time it's clean," Nasser thought to himself, "but the problem is that the Chinese head coach is really foul-mouthed, and there is no way to do it." ”

In the end, the disciplinary committee ruled that Li Guo should be suspended for three games and fined $10,000, but Nasser did not accept the proposal to cancel one of the Chinese team's home games.

*****

As a traverser, Li Guo knew how dark FIFA and AFC were, but when the news came, Li Guo was still shocked, "Ban for three games? I...... TM's. ”

"By the way, who is the chairman of the Disciplinary Committee?" Li asked Chen An.

"Saudi Nasser."

"I'm C, you're M, Saudi stick."

"South Koreans are sticks, and Saudis are not sticks," Mr. Chen said.

"So what are the Saudis?"

Chen An thought about it, we shouted the Koreans sticks and the Vietnamese monkeys, but we didn't seem to have any special greetings to the Saudis.

"Forget it, the dark-skinned ones are collectively referred to as dead," Mr. Li said.

Chen An chuckled, "Are you still in the mood to joke?" Hurry up and find a way, if this punishment is maintained, then you can't command the games against the United Arab Emirates at home, South Korea at home, and Uzbekistan away. ”

"MD, the bullying has come to me, and I want to appeal."

"Let's discuss it with the Football Association first, of course, the appeal is certain."

*****

After Li Guo had an emergency consultation with the Football Association, the Football Association first asked Li Guo to apologize to create a public opinion advantage, although Li Guo was reluctant, he still apologized.

"I apologize to the referee on duty and to the Iranian fans, I acted aggressively in the game, but that's because of my focus on the game, the top 10 is so important for our country, I think anyone on this stage would be nervous."

"Either way, I apologize for my actions."

Li Guo's weakness caused a good public opinion effect, most of them felt that the punishment of Li Guo was too heavy, and then Li Guo and the Chinese Football Association immediately appealed to the AFC, but as we all know, whether it is the AFC or FIFA, the probability of success of the appeal is very small, and these organizations are out-and-out bureaucratic organizations.

In any case, Li Guo and the Football Association officials, Chen An, flew to Kuala Lumpur to attend the hearing there.
