Chapter 702: Shelling Incident

"I've never thought Balotelli was a great professional, and I don't think that, at least with what he's done at the moment, I don't think he's trying to be a great professional, and he seems to prefer to be the entertainment star that a lot of journalists like to be a professional footballer!"

In the post-match press conference, Ye Qiu fired directly at Balotelli's stampede against Vidal during the match, which he believes has exceeded his bottom line on the so-called small and dirty actions of professional players.

"Any player, as long as he has a little bit of a work ethic, he should know very well that when he is already on his feet, he should not take that kind of extremely bad stampede, what does he want to do? Break my player's neck? Or did he want to murder him outright? ”

In the face of Ye Qiu's questioning, the group of reporters below were very excited, they didn't seem to care about what was going on at all, they were more excited about the new topic they had just found, which would definitely make the fans crazy.

Ye Qiu's blood and tears accuse Balotelli, is there any more gimmick news than this?

If it was Ferguson, or Arsene Wenger, or Mourinho, maybe they would refute Ye Qiu and defend their players, even if they felt that their players were unreasonable, or even that the actions were too bad, but they would defend it, even if it was just symbolic, but Mancini did not do it.

This can be regarded as Ye Qiu's most affirmative point for him, at least he is not indiscriminate.

"We're not going to leave it at that, we're going to file a complaint with the FA and ask them to look into it, it's not the first time he's done that, I think he should pay for his actions, and he should learn how to be a professional footballer and not an entertainment star who doesn't get the attention of the newspapers!"

Ye Qiu's remarks are not only accusations against Balotelli, but even affect reporters and the media.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, do you think that we connived and encouraged Balotelli's style?" One of the reporters stood up, and he also seemed to be dissatisfied with Ye Qiu's remarks.

"The Independent?" Ye Qiu noticed the journalist's badge, which is a fan gathering place for Tottenham Hotspur's sworn rivals Arsenal, and it is said that the tradition of the Independent to recruit reporters is that non-Arsenal fans refuse to be interviewed.

"Yes, Mr. Ye Qiu!" The journalist, who was in his thirties, was polite, but hard-spoken.

Ye Qiu nodded and smiled, "I remember, you once wrote a report, Superman Mario, if I'm not mistaken, this is the front page headline, in the report you praised him as a hero, thinking that the reason why he can be arrogant and domineering on the court is because of his flamboyant personality, and this personality leads to his constant right and wrong on and off the court, and even you think that he has superhuman talent that others don't have, and think that he will become a top superstar." ”

After hearing this, the reporter nodded and smiled: "Yes, I didn't expect Mr. Ye Qiu to be our reader too!" ”

Ye Qiu didn't continue to dwell on this issue, he read all newspapers, including the Independent, "Then I want to ask, what do you think it takes to become a top superstar?" Or, can any of you tell me why he became a top superstar? ”

After a slight pause, Ye Qiu sneered and shook his head, "I have never denied that Balotelli has a proud talent, but he is squandering this talent, you think he can become a top superstar, it is because you think that he has the news value you need to squeeze in now." ”

"But what will you do if tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, you find that he has no such value? You will turn away from him and forsake him, is that not what you have always done? Ye Qiu asked almost sarcastically, "Aren't you the best at holding a player high and then kicking him into hell yourself?" ”

"I know what you're going to say, you're just telling me that there are very, very many people who see Balotelli as a genius, as a star of hope, but, don't be stupid, I know very well what you play, do you think that those so-called celebrities, those so-called celebrities, everything they say is from the heart?"

It's a well-known thing in the whole world of football, including players, professional managers and club management, and when they face the media, their first rule is to say what is most appropriate, or say something that will achieve what they want.

When you are confronted with a question from a journalist asking you to evaluate Balotelli for no reason, do you say good or bad things?

In the past, Ye Qiu was in China, and many people would say that foreigners spoke very directly and didn't know how to be tactful, which was nonsense.

The world is full of human sophistication, including football!

And everybody has to think about the question, you belittle or say a bad word about Balotelli for no reason, you don't even need to speak badly, you just need to tell the truth, will you mean that tomorrow in the newspapers? You'll end up offending one more person for no reason, that's all.

Therefore, in the current professional football circle, don't look at what people say, but look at what he does.

"In my eyes, Balotelli has never been a great professional, although he has the legs and body of a professional footballer, he lacks the heart and mind of a professional footballer, he lacks some of the most fundamental qualities of a professional footballer, and he doesn't even know what he is doing."

"Or can you go home and watch the footage, see the blood on Vidal's neck, and then you tell me that is what a professional player should do?"

Ye Qiu's questioning is not unreasonable, Howard? At the end of the half, when Weber communicated with Ye Qiu, he told Ye Qiu that he really didn't see it at that time, otherwise, Balotelli would be punished, and Mancini was also there at the time, so the latter replaced Balotelli not long after the second half.

"We won't just forget about this matter, I think someone should tell the ignorant and twenty-one-year-old so-called kid that he should play more like a professional footballer, instead of just thinking about how to grandstand and waste his talent all day long, otherwise, he will definitely regret what he did in the future!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Qiu looked at Mancini again, shook his head, and left the press conference in advance.

In fact, looking at the turmoil caused by Balotelli joining Manchester City, is it really just Balotelli and the agent behind him who operate? If it's just players and agents, why do they dare to reveal so many details about the team's interior? For example, Mancini helped him put on his training clothes, and he made a lot of jokes?

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of marketing, not only Balotelli's agent wants to market his players, but also Manchester City is marketing his own team and building the Manchester City brand, and Balotelli's appearance has undoubtedly become a lifesaver for Manchester City's brand marketing.

There is a saying from the ancestors, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

Balotelli himself is a troublemaker, which was already at Inter Milan, but Mourinho's control and discipline of him is still relatively in place, and his progress is quite obvious, but after coming to Manchester City, the club has tasted the sweetness from his series of actions, and they began to find that they don't need to win, they don't need to win the title, they only need Balotelli to make a joke, and they can get huge media attention.

If others don't know, will Ye Qiu still know?

ON YOUTUBE, MANCHESTER CITY'S OFFICIAL VIDEO HAS MORE THAN 20 MILLION VIEWS, WHICH IS NOT AS HIGH AS TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR, REAL MADRID, BARCELONA AND MANCHESTER UNITED, BUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE FOLLOWING THEIR WEBSITE IS LESS THAN 30,000, AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF HITS ARE CREATED AFTER SHARING LINKS, WITH THE MOST POPULAR SEARCH BEING BALOTELLI.

It's a conscious marketing ploy, and it's not something that an agent or a player can do.

Perhaps, for Manchester City, this kind of marketing is doing them a lot of good, but they are forgetting one thing, which is also to fuel Balotelli's intransigence and destroy an ignorant youngster with the talent to become a top player.

Twenty-one-year-old Balotelli can do this, and in three or five years, will he continue to do so?

Think of the tragedy of Cassano!

…………

…………

In response to Tottenham's complaint against Balotelli, the FA said in a post-match interview that Howard? In his report, Webb said he did not see the scene and would have not hesitated to send Balotelli off the field if he did.

So the FA said it would charge Balotelli for his violent behaviour and if City decide not to appeal, then Balotelli will face a four-match ban, which will include a Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.

Regarding the FA's statement, Balotelli's agent Raiola protested, "The FA should protect Mario, otherwise, he may consider leaving England!" ”

Perhaps because he felt that such statements were a bit threatening, Raiola said again: "Mario should not have been banned for four games because it was not an intentional foul, he told me that he didn't want to hurt anyone, he didn't see Vidal at the time, so the so-called stampede violence on the pitch, that's nonsense!" ”

In addition, Raiola also accused Ye Qiu in an interview, "We all know very well that Ye Qiu is a pivotal head coach in today's professional football, and I have always respected him in the past, but what he said at the post-match press conference made me think that he had ulterior motives, and even I thought he was using the media to suppress young players!" ”

If it was just the previous part, Ye Qiu would definitely not respond, but Raiola said that Ye Qiu suppressed young players, which made Ye Qiu unacceptable, and he immediately responded.

"Balotelli's stampede is very clear, anyone can see it, whether I lied or not, everybody knows, I don't know if he meant it or not, I don't know if he saw Vidal, but he left a spike mark on my player's neck, maybe it's really nothing in Raiola's eyes, because he will ignore the spike print, and even think I faked it!"

Regarding some of Raiola's remarks, Ye Qiu believes that it is beyond the scope of a professional agent.

"I don't understand what he means by saying that the FA wants to protect Mario, I want to tell him, and also tell Balotelli, the FA is not run by your family, the Premier League will not go around for you alone, and even the earth will not stop turning because of you, although I am not qualified to speak, but I believe that any mature football club will not accept this threat from the player's agent."

"The last thing I want to say is, I admire Roy very much? Keane, because he dared to act and admit it, although I did not agree with his actions, but I admired his courage to admit it, and some of the remarks that Balotelli had his agent come forward to clarify, in my opinion, were more like a coward covering up his absurdity! ”

Raiola was obviously entangled with Ye Qiu, and soon responded publicly in the media, thinking that Ye Qiu was making a big fuss, because Balotelli is Manchester City's most threatening player, and he is Manchester City's most competitive number one killer on the road to winning the championship next, so Ye Qiu wants to use the excuse to hit Balotelli.

Regarding such remarks, Ye Qiu said on the official website that he would not respond.

However, Tottenham Hotspur officially responded, defending his manager, and said in a very bold tone that Tottenham Hotspur has strong enough confidence to win the championship with or without Balotelli, and Raiola's remarks make people feel more like a persecuted paranoia.

The famous commentator of the Premier League Sky TV Andy? Gray also said that he was at the scene, and he believed that Balotelli's malicious stampede was indeed a very bad behavior and should be paid, while Ye Qiu's remarks reflected more of his regret and regret for Balotelli squandering his talent.

Alain, host of BBC TV's daily events? Hansen also repeatedly played this stampede scene in his own program, which is indeed very clear, and the Liverpool celebrity is also standing next to Ye Qiu this time, he thinks that Raiola's remarks are too arrogant, and it is too self-righteous to think that the FA will compromise with a Balotelli.

"He's just like his players, he's arrogant and arrogant, which limits Balotelli's further growth!"

"In fact, if you carefully review Ye Qiu's words, it is not difficult to find that Ye Qiu is not just bombarding Balotelli's stampede, but more accusing the media of connivance at Balotelli, because he feels that this connivance makes the players a little lost, and now I know very well that Balotelli's loss is not only because of the media, but also because he has an arrogant agent!"

The Times columnist Martin? Samuel even called for the FA to make a public statement in his column, and if Balotelli believes that he is not privileged and wants to leave the Premier League because of this, everyone should say to him, please!

Not only some reporters and media close to Ye Qiu, but even Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Benitez and others said in interviews that the biggest obstacle to Balotelli becoming a top player is his arrogant personality and his behavior that he doesn't seem to want to correct at all.

Even Raiola's agent, Newcastle number one star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, did not support his agent and Balotelli, who also belongs to the same agency, but defended his former mentor.

"I still remember that when Mr. Ye Qiu was at Ajax, he told me that if you want to become a top star, it is not enough to have a strong body and skillful skills, you must also have a mature and strong heart, and at the same time, you must concentrate on the game and training, which is the basic quality of a professional player."

"I absolutely don't believe that Mr. Ye Qiu will suppress young players, on the contrary, I know that he has a strong desire to develop young players, just like he promoted so many young players at Ajax back then, he is just reminding Balotelli not to squander his talent, but this kind reminder has been misinterpreted by some people!"

may be aware that things are getting bigger and bigger, especially Balotelli's somewhat messy agent Raiola, the Manchester City team is very aware of Ye Qiu's influence and connections in the current football world, and the relationship between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur has always been quite good, and Mubarak was personally instructed by Mansour to have a good relationship with Ye Qiu.

So after the incident, Manchester City publicly stated that it would not appeal the matter and accept the FA's punishment.

At the same time, the Manchester City Evening News also published a news that Manchester City had put pressure on Balotelli to stop his agent from continuing to mess around, and even replace his agent if necessary.

Manchester City's manager Roberto Mancini has publicly stated that Manchester City will not be anyone's team, he belongs to all Manchester City players, and Manchester City will not change his philosophy because of anyone's departure.

It was in this turmoil that in the fourth round of the English FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Watford 1:0 away with Hazzard's goal and successfully advanced to the next round.

In midweek, the Premier League ushered in the 23rd round, and Tottenham Hotspur defeated Wigan Athletic 4-0 at home with Messi's brace, Ramsey and substitute Franck Franck Ribery's goals, extending their unbeaten streak.

Tottenham's unbeaten run so far extends to 73 games.

However, three days later, Tottenham Hotspur travelled to Anfield and were met with strong sniping from Rafael Benitez's side, and after 90 minutes of fierce battle, Tottenham Hotspur were unable to take away a win away from home, and the two sides ended up in a 0-0 draw.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur are unbeaten in the 24 rounds of the Premier League with 19 wins and five draws, ahead of second-placed Manchester City with 57 points, while Liverpool are third with 55 points.

But after three crucial battles for West Ham, Manchester City and Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur soon welcomed the Magpies Newcastle in the 25th round of the Premier League.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Magpies held Tottenham Hotspur to a 2-2 draw at home in the first half, and Redknapp's side seized on Tottenham's weakness and exposed it as the best game against other teams and managers this season.

Therefore, many people are looking forward to whether Redknapp can go further in this battle!
