The coverage of global sports has caused a sensation not only in China, but even around the world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Los Angeles Times and the New York Daily News, the British Daily Mirror and the Daily Mail, the French team newspaper, Brazil's Globo Sports, Italy's Milan Sports Newspaper, etc., have all reprinted reports on global sports and given their own opinions. In their view, it is impossible to completely eliminate money transactions in football, but it should be minimized that money interferes with the fairness and impartiality of the game. At the same time, they believe that it is shameful to do such a thing as the leader of the Football Association and the leader of the national team, and should be punished by law.

While the media of various countries gave their own views, they also raised doubts about the professionalism of the Chinese in sports.

Such doubts are undoubtedly a blow to Chinese professional athletes.

What's more, this incident has been extended to next year's Olympics, where they question whether Beijing can create a fair and just environment for competition.

When it comes to the Olympic Games, this is the Olympic era that generations of Chinese people have been looking forward to. How could it be messed up by a domestic football scandal?

As a result, the government immediately organized relevant departments to join hands with the police to immediately launch an anti-corruption campaign in football across the country. The vigorous and resolute action of the government has been applauded by the people of the whole country.

After a week's investigation, the leaders of the Football Association and the leaders of the national football team who bore the brunt of the crimes were immediately presented to the people of the whole country.

During the tenure of the leaders of the Football Association, the amount of bribes accepted reached millions of dollars. Compared with the leadership of the Football Association, Wei Guangjun, the leader of the national football team, is even more shameful, before the Asian Cup squad comes out, call those players who are on the edge of the national team, and I will help you send you to the national team when you receive the money, and the amount involved has reached millions. Several players were also implicated in his confession, though prosecutors did not release the list.

When the anti-corruption campaign in football was in full swing, Yu Liang and King Dong, who were far away in England, ushered in the appetizing match before the opening of the Premier League - the Community Shield.

The Community Shield, also known as the Charity Shield, was renamed the Community Shield in 2002 and is an annual tournament hosted by the English Football Association between the winner of the English Premier League and the winner of the FA Cup. If the Super League winner is also the FA Cup winner, the team will be the runners-up in the league. As in this season's Community Shield, United won the Double, the Premier League and the FA Cup, so they were replaced by league runners-up Chelsea.

The inaugural Charity Shield began in 1908 and has a history of 99 years, with Manchester United winning the inaugural Charity Shield. Manchester United and Liverpool have both won the title 11 times before, making them the two teams with the most titles. Chelsea have also won the Community Shield three times since 2000, two of them against Manchester United, notably the first title of the new millennium. It was also the 12th time that United manager Alex Ferguson has led his side to the Community Shield, winning five of them.

Although the Community Shield is a chicken championship, all the participating teams take this game very seriously. Not only is this game an appetizer for the Premier League, but more importantly, it is a game to test the results of the team's summer training. Through such a game, you can find out what the team missed or what you missed in the summer training, so that you can make up for it and adjust it in the following time.

While the new Wembley Stadium doesn't have the dressing room spell of the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, the Community Shield itself is a spell in English football.

In the 15 seasons since the Premier League was launched, no team other than Chelsea in 2005 and Manchester United in 1993 and 1996 have won the Community Shield.

Manchester United beat Blackburn Rovers in the Charity Shield in 1994, which won the Premier League that season. Manchester United beat Chelsea in the Charity Shield in 1997, when the league title was snatched away by Arsenal. In 1998 and 1999, Arsenal won the Charity Shield two years in a row, only to miss out on the Super League title for two consecutive seasons.

Before the game, there was an eerie atmosphere in the dressing rooms of both sides.

For footballers, they are hungry to win every honour and trophy, and they are not willing to give away even the slightest bit of a trophy like the Community Shield.

But the thought of winning such a chicken-ribbed championship and the possibility of losing a heavy league title made them struggle a little bit in their hearts. After all, the league championship is a symbol of supreme glory.

"The guys seem to be a little nervous!"

Back in the dressing room, Ferguson immediately felt the bad atmosphere in the dressing room.

Frowning, Ferguson quickly thought of the crux of the matter.

"Maybe you're worried about the damn curse?"

The players didn't say anything, they all looked up at Ferguson, and Ferguson looked at the players' expressions and knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Okay. Win this damn Community Shield and we'll lose the league title! Even if he is a fool, he understands who to choose between the damned Community Shield Champion and the League Champion. League champions, right? ”

The players nodded their heads there, clearly agreeing with Ferguson, who was the winner of the Community Shield.

But Ferguson didn't think so, seeing the players nodding their heads there, he pouted and shook his head, and said regretfully: "If you think so, then you are fools!" Obviously, you're a bunch of fools! ”

"Is there a connection between the Community Shield and the league winner? No! So the team that won the Community Shield must not be able to win the league title? Obviously, it wasn't that absolute, and I won the Community Shield twice and won the league title that season. They've done it once, too! ”

As he spoke, Ferguson also pointed to the Chelsea dressing room.

"One more thing, is it possible for a team that loses the Community Shield to win the league 100 per cent?"

How can the players remember these statistics?

Even Ferguson himself can't remember it clearly, but he remembers the first season of the Premier League very well, because it was the year when his career took off.

"In '92, on this land, Leeds United beat Liverpool to win the Charity Shield. As you know, we won the league that season. It turns out that teams that don't win the Charity Shield don't necessarily win the league, such as Liverpool! ”

At this point, a smile appeared on Ferguson's face.

"They may be cursed even more because they haven't won a Premier League title yet!"

The atmosphere in the dressing room immediately came alive and the players had smiles on their faces.

Yes, if you pick up a sesame seed, you will definitely throw away a watermelon?

After Ferguson watched the players relax, he immediately put away his smile and said sharply: "Instead of being overwhelmed by the damn curse here, it would be better to think about how to break the damn curse, wouldn't it be more cool!" Champions, I want championships. I'm not just going to win the Community Shield, I'm going to win the league and to hell with that damn curse! (To be continued.) )
