Chapter 840 Three Kingdoms Kill

On the third day after Gao Han returned to Manchester from Madrid, Chinatown once again announced on various platforms that the team introduced 24-year-old midfielder Michu from Vigo Celta in the Spanish Second Division for a price of one million euros.

The reason why it is so cheap is mainly because the contract between Michu and Vigo Celta is only one year left. So far, Chinatown is the only team interested in Michu. One million euros is like a pie from the sky for a Spanish Second Division team like Vigo Celta, which does not have to worry about relegation but is difficult to upgrade, it is like a pie from the sky. How can I refuse?

Of course, Armando Marcos' excellent negotiations are also crucial.

This is the first signing announced by Chinatown this summer, which has made many fans who care about Chinatown and La Liga particularly curious. What is the origin of Michu?

But on the same day the team announced the introduction of Michu, Chinatown once again officially announced that the main striker Diego Costa successfully transferred to Real Madrid for a sky-high price of 50 million euros. This is also the highest sky-high price in the European transfer market this summer, and Diego Costa has also become the summer transfer bidder.

No one expected that Real Madrid, which had always been associated with Dzeko, suddenly turned its gun and took Diego Costa, which caught everyone in the world off guard and also hit Hones of Wolfsburg. However, in order to save his face, he said in an interview with the media that night that the club had never thought about selling Dzeko.

But the most painful thing is Dzeko. The Bosnia and Herzegovina international even denounced the management in the media for harming themselves.

As for Real Madrid spending 50 million euros to introduce Diego Costa, everyone feels inflated, but it is understandable.

Diego Costa has performed very well in the last two seasons, especially in the La Liga last season. Although he didn't score many goals, his tactical role was very obvious, his progress was rapid, he was young, and coupled with the halo chosen by Gao Han, everyone is very optimistic about this Brazilian striker.

After Real Madrid failed to find a gun in multiple parties and had little time left for transfer, they were forced to use the termination fee to buy Diego Costa. Although the price was high, it was understandable.

Of course, some Real Madrid fans and media people are dissatisfied and puzzled by this transfer, because they all believe that although Diego Costa has potential and good strength, they do not have the capital to gain a foothold in Real Madrid. Therefore, they are all worried about Diego Costa's prospects and are afraid of repeating Adebayo's mistakes.

The happiest person is Real Madrid's head coach Mourinho.

At the press conference for Diego Costa to join Real Madrid, the Portuguese said in a high-profile manner that the Brazilian striker's joining filled the last shortcoming in Real Madrid's lineup. He firmly believed that Diego Costa was extremely strong and would be able to play amazing strength in Real Madrid.

Regarding the appreciation from the new coach, Diego Costa also excitedly stated that he would do his best and hoped to help Real Madrid achieve more and better results.

Judging from Real Madrid's signings this season, although they spent a lot of money, they did not introduce a superstar. This change has also attracted media attention. However, Real Madrid president Florentino denied that the club gave up the superstar strategy.

“In fact, we have been working hard to bring in the world’s top superstars.”

After Diego Costa transfers to Real Madrid, Chinatown coach Pochettino also announced the closing of the transfer door.

Throughout the summer, Chinatown sent away two main players, Diego Costa and Mkhitaryan, and only two players, Michu and Varane, were introduced. Among them, Michu announced that it was the public. Varane continued to loan in Ligue 1, and Rance was only a relegation team in Ligue 1, so it did not attract attention.

However, Diego Costa's transfer did not attract much attention, because Spanish and even European football was quickly shocked by another thing, that is, the Spanish Football Association issued an official statement on its official website.

In this statement, the Spanish Football Association stated that since negotiations with the professional league and the government have not achieved satisfactory results in the past period of time, the Spanish Football Association decided to suspend domestic football matches at all levels and events in the new season, that is, the strike.

But this statement also stated that it will not affect domestic teams participating in European competitions.

In the statement, the Spanish Football Association accused the professional league and the government of bypassing the Football Association and formulating a plan to fully implement the broadcasting rights reform of the La Liga since 2013, which seriously violated the relevant regulations of the Spanish Football Association, UEFA and FIFA, and abandoned the rights and interests of 600,000 football players at all levels, 30,000 managers and 15,000 football institutions.

After the efforts of the Football Association, consultations were carried out with many parties, but the government and professional leagues were arrogant, which led to the problems that seriously affected football matches could not be effectively resolved. Therefore, the Football Association held an internal meeting, and the referee committee, coaching committee and the player unanimously agreed that they would not continue to participate in the game, and the league suspension was inevitable.

But at the end of the statement, the Spanish Football Association still expressed that it hopes that the government and professional leagues can continue to maintain effective communication with the Spanish Football Association on related issues and strive to promote the orderly progress of the La Liga in the new season.

Once this statement from the Spanish Football Association was made public, it immediately caused an uproar around the world.

Just in early August, the La Liga Professional League organized 20 La Liga teams to negotiate with 22 Spanish League Two teams. The forty-two teams unanimously agreed to formally promote the reform of broadcasting rights sharing in 2013, and agreed to the reform plan of Vice Chairman Javier Tebas. The government quickly agreed to the reform plan submitted by the Professional League.

Only the Spanish Football Association not only refused to send representatives to attend the meeting, but also opposed the reform plan as soon as possible after the plan was released, questioning the legitimacy of the reform plan. One point emphasized was that it bypassed the management of the Football Association. Some senior executives of the Spanish Football Association even announced in anonymously that if they did not communicate effectively with the Football Association about the plan, La Liga might face a strike.

In fact, half a month has passed, and the news of La Liga suspension and strike has been heard all the time. But now, the Spanish Football Association has finally pushed the sharp problems to the forefront.

Especially this time, the Spanish Football Association has collaborated with the referee committee, the coaching committee and the players' union issued a joint statement, and the situation is obviously already on the verge of arrows.

But shortly after the Spanish Football Association issued a strike statement, Lesaviski, chairman of the Spanish Supreme Sports Council and Secretary of State for Sports, responded quickly, saying that the strike was a betrayal of the rights and interests of all professional football practitioners.

"The Football Association is simply unreasonable! They think this will attract the attention of the government? Do they want to rely on trouble to solve this problem? This is too ignorant! What they do is insulting the democracy and the rule of law in our country."

Lisavski also pointed the finger directly at Bilar, "There are some people who are too self-righteous. They regard professional football as a forbidden thing. They are all about the rights and interests of players, referees and fans. But look at what they have done in the past few years, are they really as righteous as they claim?"

The Spanish Sports State Secretary also stated that the Spanish broadcasting rights reform plan has been unanimously approved by 20 La Liga teams and 22 Spanish Second Division teams, and its legitimacy has also been recognized by the government and will definitely be implemented in 2013.

"Here, I also call on some people not to go further and further on the road of selfishness."

Soon, the Spanish Professional League also quickly followed up and issued a statement saying that the unilateral decision of the Spanish Football Association was invalid.

"According to the domestic sports law of Spain, organizing events and formulating schedules is the power of the sports league. That is to say, the power belongs to the professional league, not to the Spanish Football Association. This has been clearly divided from the time when the professional league was established that year. We have the management and operation rights of La Liga and Spanish Second Division. The Spanish Football Association is only responsible for national teams and other leagues at all levels."

"I don't know why this time the Spanish Football Association issued such a statement, but what I want to say is that this practice is based on ignorance and does not even understand the minimum legal provisions."

Professional League Vice Chairman Javier Tebas said in an interview with the media that he will discuss with the referee committee, the player union and the coaching committee as soon as possible.

"The three major institutions have arranged representatives to attend the conference in early August. They are very clear that the reform plan we have made is not only to ensure the rights and interests of all La Liga and Spanish Second Division teams, but also to safeguard the rights and interests of all referees, players and coaches. This has great significance for both the present and the future development of Spanish professional football."

Javier Tebasse even sarcastically at the Football Association's remarks that the government and professional leagues should take the initiative to negotiate with them, believing that this is blindly arrogant and that after doing something that violates the law, he dares to be so blatant.

The three forces opened fire in the media, which immediately caused shock to the whole world.

With only about half a month left before the start of the La Liga, the Spanish Football Association ignited the war at this time, obviously to put the professional league and the government on the fire. Almost all media believe that the reason why the Football Association did this was precisely because it was dissatisfied with the new broadcasting rights allocation plan and the share of the Spanish Football Association.

"Don't be honest, they just want to get a larger share of the shares. But ask yourself, this group of men sitting in the office should really get so many?" Dela Morena of Sel Radio publicly bombarded.

Spanish media also took turns to interpret the Three Kingdoms Killing, and believed that the Spanish Football Association's actions violated the law, and the purpose was only to gain more benefits for themselves, not for others.

As a long-time vice president of FIFA, Bilal's connections quickly played a role.

FIFA President Blatter soon accepted the media interview and publicly supported the Spanish Football Association's approach, and warned the Spanish government that if legal means intervene in professional football, it will be regarded as a political intervention, and Spain will be banned from participating in FIFA and UEFA events, whether it is a national team or a club.

However, on this issue, UEFA President Platini chose to remain silent, saying that UEFA is studying the specific situation and calling on all parties to remain calm and rational and restart negotiation and dialogue.

If the Spanish Football Association's previous statements received a lot of support and sympathy, then with the high-pressure statements from Blatt and FIFA, the public opinion in the entire Spanish and European football circles suddenly reversed.

In a poll by Marca, 96.5% of the participants disagreed with the strike. Most people believe that the Spanish Football Association organized the strike in order to play, which was to sacrifice the interests of fans, clubs and players.

"What if the league is suspended, what should we do if the business interests behind the clubs and stars? Can the Spanish Football Association bear this responsibility?"

The Players' Union also quickly issued a statement calling on all parties to negotiate calmly, and at the same time clarified the attitude of the Players' Union that participating in the strike is not a threat or a team leader, but just to protect the rights and interests of the players from infringement.

“We have always maintained effective communication and contact with the government and professional alliances.”

The referee committee and coaching committee also quickly issued relevant statements, clarifying their own attitudes, and even the possibility of canceling the strike after receiving effective commitments.

This undoubtedly further isolated the Spanish Football Association.
