Chapter 499 Blatter steps down
On June 25, 2002, at 19:30 in the evening, at the World Cup Stadium in Seoul, South Korea, the host South Korea and the traditional football team Germany started a desperate battle, competing for a ticket to enter the World Cup finals.
This game has attracted the attention of thousands of fans and officials from various football associations. In the first two knockout games, South Korea controversially eliminated Italy and Spain, and unexpectedly advanced to the semi-finals, attracting a lot of criticism. Now in the final, it faces a team again.
A strong European team, the German team, everyone wants to know whether Germany can defend the dignity of a football powerhouse and the purity of football. Of course, there are also some fans who are eager for South Korea to create another miracle and become the first Asian team to reach the World Cup finals.
team.
Zheng Mengzhun and Blatter sat in the box with smiles, enjoying the game. The result of this game was already determined. South Korea lost, Germany won, and the German team entered the World Cup finals for the seventh time. This result can both calm the doubts about the referee from the outside world.
, can also quell the dissatisfaction of UEFA. The Korean football team's entry into the semi-finals has satisfied all Korean fans. Zheng Mongzhun and Blatter have also obtained the benefits they need.
Therefore, everyone is happy when South Korea loses!
Lin Feng sat in the court, watching the game with a relaxed and comfortable expression. This game cost him 14 million US dollars (the chief referee paid 8 million US dollars, and the two assistant referees each paid 2 million US dollars). It was time for him to enjoy it.
As for Mourinho, Lin Feng wanted to invite him to watch this "Focus Battle" together, but Mourinho was ordered by his wife to stay in the hotel. Before getting out of the lawsuit, Mourinho could only watch it in the hotel.
Live TV. Mourinho naturally complained about this, but he loved his wife deeply and knew that her wife was good for him. In the end, he could only compromise.
The match was uneventful. Neither South Korea nor Germany were skilled in technology, but both in body and will. However, it was obvious that the German team relied on its stronger body and more indestructible will to suppress South Korea in every aspect. Unfortunately, it failed to score points.
The scene fell into a stalemate.
Zheng Mengzhun and Blatter looked at the situation on the field and breathed a sigh of relief. According to this trend, Germany will undoubtedly win. What's more, before the game, Blatter also hinted that today's three referees will favor Germany, so that South Korea will also have a taste of "black whistle"
", to return "justice" to the world.
Time is passing by, and the game is about to end. It has entered injury time. All the fans are ready to wait for the start of overtime. Although Germany has not scored a goal, Korean players have generally begun to pant.
, it is absolutely impossible to resist Germany's attack in overtime.
But at this moment, there was a sharp whistle - a penalty kick! In the last minute of injury time, the referee Meyer on duty awarded South Korea a penalty kick.
The Seoul World Cup Stadium was in an uproar! But all the viewers in front of the TV were angry. Through the slow-motion replay, you can clearly see South Korea's Ahn Jung-hwan dribbling the ball into the penalty area, but was stuck by the German defender. Ahn Jung-hwan thought
He wanted to cut inside and force a breakthrough, but his feet gave way and he fell to the ground due to lack of strength. The slow motion clearly showed that the German defensive players moved cleanly without any unnecessary movements. This was definitely a personal mistake of South Korean player Ahn Jung-hwan.
However, the referee Meyer insisted on awarding the Korean team a penalty kick!
The German players were angry and protested strongly around Meier, but Meier remained unmoved and pointed to the 11th yard. However, he felt helpless in his heart, but after thinking about Lin Feng's words, he felt determined again. For the future of FIFA
!
In the box, Blatter's face was ashen. He did not expect that Meyer would make such a low-level mistake at this critical moment.
Damn it! Did he forget that I told him that today's game will be slightly biased towards Germany! Even if it is not biased, you can't make such a mistake at this moment! - Blatter has smoke from his nose.
, walking back and forth in the box. If the South Korean team scores this penalty kick and eliminates Germany and advances to the final, Blatter can imagine the anger of UEFA and the strong protests from within FIFA.
Missed the free throw, missed the free throw! - Blatt hid in the corner and kept drawing circles, not daring to watch the game.
Zheng Mengzhun was also shocked and speechless. As the president of the Korean Football Association, he should be happy that South Korea won a penalty kick. But at this moment, he wished that the South Korean team could not score the penalty kick.
Previously, he worked hard to get South Korea to set an Asian record and break the previous record set by North Korea to reach the top 8 of the World Cup. This has greatly increased his political leverage, but the saying goes that too much is not enough. If South Korea really advances to the finals
, the protests against South Korea will be a hundred times, a thousand times more violent than before. Then it will not be a good thing, but a bad thing.
No penalty! No penalty! - Zheng Mongjun, the president of the Korean Football Association, is also cursing his country's football team. If it cannot take a penalty kick, it cannot advance to the finals.
Under the curse of these two big shots, An Zhenhuan cooperated and accidentally kicked the ball away, causing Kahn, the German goalkeeper, to let out a cathartic roar.
However, the whistle sounded again. Meier pointed to 11 yards again because someone from the German team entered the penalty area first and interfered with An Zhenhuan's free throw.
Boom! A loud noise.
Blatter and Zheng Mengzhun felt that the sky was about to fall. When they saw An Zhenhuan miss the penalty kick, they thought things were still going to turn around, but Meyer's decision to impose a heavy penalty put them on the verge of panic.
At this moment, according to incomplete statistics after the investigation by a social investigation team, when Meyer decided to let South Korea take another penalty kick, 1,248 TVs around the world were smashed by angry fans.
After a period of silence, the scene erupted with a sound that could overturn the Seoul World Cup Stadium. South Korea defeated Germany with a penalty kick and advanced to the World Cup finals! An Asian team advanced to the World Cup finals for the first time!
Blatter looked blankly at the score on the big screen, his face gloomy for a while, and then he rushed down like a madman. He wanted to question Meier about how he enforced the law!
Looking at the Korean fans celebrating in the field and the German team members chasing Meier on the field to seek justice, Lin Feng smiled, this is wonderful. And what Meier did is so amazing, this move is so beautiful. It's still possible.
Is there any greater controversy than a penalty kick awarded before the end of the game? What's more, it was two penalties in a row!
Blatter, the trouble is big! Zheng Mongzhun, the trouble is even bigger!
At this time, Lin Feng's phone rang.
"Mr. Lin, is this your solution?" Jin Dazhong said with a hint of sullenness and helplessness.
"President Kim, I think this is the simplest, most direct and best way. How can a person who commits fraud become president!" Lin Fengxiao said.
"But the dignity of our country's football will be gone, and in terms of football diplomacy, the entire Europe may be hostile to our country." Kim Dae-jung said angrily.
Lin Feng smiled. Korean football has always looked down on Chinese football and Chinese fans. Let’s teach them a lesson this time. Of course, I can only say this from my heart. If I really say it, Kim Dae Jung will probably go berserk.
.
"President Kim, compared with the happiness of 50 million Korean people, is the dignity of football so important?" Lin Feng asked in a deep voice.
"This..." Kim Dae-jung was stunned for a while and didn't know how to answer. But what Lin Feng said was the truth. If Zheng Meng, a representative of the oligarchs, is really allowed to become the president of South Korea, 50 million Korean people will suffer. In comparison, the dignity of football is really
A piece of cake.
After thinking for a while, Jin Dazhong sighed and shook his head.
"Mr. Lin, no matter what, thank you this time. I will handle your matter as soon as possible. Also, the lawsuit between you and Mourinho and others will be clarified soon. You only need to pay for the injury."
For the fans’ medical expenses, just a little compensation for nutritional expenses will be enough.” Jin Daezhong took a deep breath and said slowly.
Lin Feng listened to the music. This is a typical example of someone selling money to someone else.
Poor Kim Dae-jung! Even in old age, he was tricked by Lin Feng, but he was still grateful to Lin Feng. This is to let the arrogant and proud Korean people know that their president was schemed by a Chinese like this.
What's the expression?
"Thank you, President Kim. I believe that South Korea will soon get out of this gloom, and the future will be wonderful." Although Lin Feng was happy in his heart, his tone was full of relief.
Subsequently, the result of this game shocked the world. The German Football Association first expressed strong protest against the result of this game, protested against Meyer's law enforcement, and protested against FIFA's unfair refereeing issue. The German government later joined the Italian government
and the Spanish government strongly requested FIFA to thoroughly investigate the matter. There were tricks in the three knockout matches of the Korean team. They relied on controversy to eliminate their opponents and advance to the finals. This is unreasonable.
UEFA also stood up and strongly protested Blatter's employment in the World Cup (referring to the selection of referees), and claimed that if Blatter cannot give UEFA a reasonable explanation, all UEFA member states will
Boycott the next World Cup. From now on, it will only participate in the European Cup and not the World Cup. It also claimed that it will consider inviting Brazil and Argentina to participate in the European Cup and consider changing the European Cup to every two years.
This decision of UEFA will undoubtedly defeat Blatter. If UEFA really breaks with FIFA and invites Brazil and Argentina to participate in the European Cup, the World Cup will exist in name only. Under criticism from many parties, Blatter is very worried.
.
However, it was definitely not a fluke that Blatter was able to sit in this position. He immediately blamed the European referee for the last game, and the referee was in charge of Secretary-General Rufinan, not him. Then he strongly criticized UEFA's decision.
The proposal angrily accused UEFA of dividing football and hurting the feelings of all fans towards football. It also claimed that if UEFA insists on having its own way, FIFA will ban UEFA's member countries from participating in the World Cup.
But what Blatter didn't expect was that fans around the world stood up and shouted - We want a clean European Cup, not a fake World Cup!
This made Blatter embarrassed for a while. But what was even more embarrassing was what happened later. A reporter from "The Sun" published an audio clip through the Internet. It was a conversation between Blatter rushing into the referee's locker room after the game between South Korea and Germany.
"How did you enforce the law? I said I would favor Germany, but why did you award a penalty kick to South Korea at the end, and it was such a serious misjudgment!" Blatter pointed at Meier's nose and cursed.
...
This recording has become the strongest evidence for UEFA, calling for Blatter to resign, otherwise all UEFA member countries will withdraw from the World Cup. At the critical moment, FIFA Secretary General Rufinan, who is responsible for referee issues, also
Stand up and declare that the selection of referees is decided by Blatter alone. He is nominally responsible, but in fact he is controlled by Blatter. He is just a puppet and a scapegoat.
At the same time, Lu Finan united with European governments to put pressure, and UBS was forced to disclose the bank accounts of all the referees who officiated in South Korea's three knockout games. It was revealed that there were millions of dollars in huge sums of money. (As for Meyer, Lin Feng
Considering the seriousness of the matter, it was not deposited into Meyer's account, but into his wife's account. Meyer was lucky enough to avoid the disaster.)
The facts are extremely clear, and this undoubtedly puts Blatter in a desperate situation. As for Blatter's ally, Zheng Mongzhun is not having a hard time. When the Swiss Bank announced the bank accounts of 12 referees from three games, the Korean government was also affected by all parties.
pressure and began to investigate the matter.
The target of the attack was naturally directed at the president of the Korean Football Association, Chung Mong-joon. After a thorough investigation by the Korean government, the Korean Football Association also found relevant evidence within the Korean Football Association that Chung Mong-joon colluded with the Asian gaming group. Although Zheng Mong-joon could not be convicted, Zheng Mong-joon's support among the people instantly dropped to freezing point.
Especially now that the world is questioning and criticizing South Korea, Korean football has become the word for "match-fixing" and "black whistle" in the world. This is unacceptable to the proud Korean people, and the finger can only be pointed at Zheng Mongjun who caused all this.
Subsequently, Chung Mong-jun was forced to resign from the title of Football Association Association, and his title of vice president of FIFA was also voted by FIFA to impeach him. He only barely retained his qualifications as a member of the Korean Congress. However, in next year's South Korean presidential election, Chung Mong-jun will undoubtedly lose his qualifications.
When the Korean people were denounced and criticized for Zheng Mongjun's counterfeiting, Kim Dae-jung also quietly helped Lin Feng transfer the Daewoo production line in South Korea. Although Kim Tae-jung exhausted his father's network, under Kim Dae-jung's strong intervention, all
All the officials involved were temporarily transferred to other places and an asset investigation was conducted. Kim Tae-jung could only stare helplessly as Lin Feng's people moved away all the assets of South Korea's Daewoo little by little with the help of the Korean government.
South Korea.
Damn Lin Feng, damn the Chinese!——Jin Taizheng’s resentment is endless.
As for Blatter, he wanted to continue to struggle and use his power to retain the position of FIFA president. He did not hesitate to offer UEFA more places for the next World Cup and promised to make the World Cup more
The promise of hosting the event on the European continent, but this still failed to impress UEFA. In the end, at the initiative of European governments, UEFA proposed the impeachment of Blatter at the FIFA voting conference.
It was also the first time that FIFA impeached its chairman again within a week after impeaching a vice-chairman. The chairman was temporarily replaced by Rufinan, and new elections will be held next year.
The controversial South Korean national team suffered a complete defeat in the final against Brazil. The Korean players were disturbed by this scandal and had no intention of playing. If they won, they were afraid that people would say it was match-fixing again. Moreover, there was pressure from domestic people to stop match-fixing, so that
Korean players are under tremendous pressure.
As for the Brazilian team, their opponent in the final was actually a team that relied on cheating to get into the final, and it was also an Asian team. Everyone in the Brazilian team instinctively felt that they were insulted. They showed their prowess in the final,
From the beginning to the end, the Brazilian team has been attacking, attacking, using offense to prove their strength and prove South Korea's shamelessness and incompetence.
In the end, Brazil defeated South Korea with a score of 10:0 and won the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. Chief center Ronaldo scored 5 goals in the final and became the World Cup Golden Boot winner with 11 goals.
With 15 World Cup goals, he became the player with the most goals in World Cup history.
This battle proved the strength of Brazil and the vulnerability of South Korea. While the Korean fans were humiliated, fans around the world let out thunderous cheers!
King of Brazil! Alien Ronaldo!
Amid the heated discussion about the finals, Lin Feng ended his World Cup trip to South Korea and Japan and was preparing to return home. There is another battlefield waiting for Lin Feng in China.
But before parting, when saying goodbye to Mourinho, Lin Feng gave Mourinho a mysterious smile.
"José, I will give you a surprise when you return to Porto." Lin Feng said with a smile.
Mourinho pursed his lips and thought for a long time. He really wanted to know what this surprise was, but looking at Lin Feng's expression, he also knew that no matter how he pressed, Lin Feng would definitely keep it secret and not tell him. After thinking for a long time, Mu
Rinho snorted, raised his head, and walked away with an expression that said, "I don't care about you."
Lin Feng looked at it happily.
"Jose, Jose!" Mourinho's wife shouted from the side, but Mourinho ignored her at all.
"Lin, I'm sorry. That's just how Jose is. I'm really sorry." Mourinho's wife looked embarrassed. His husband is no different from a child sometimes.
"Haha, it's okay, we are old friends." Lin Feng smiled, waved and said goodbye to the Mourinho family.
"Allegra, do you still want to come back to China with me?" Lin Feng asked.
"Well, before I turn 18, I have to work hard on my own strength, and then go back and inherit Versace. The flowers in the greenhouse can't stand the wind and rain, and I can't become such a person." Allegra said firmly.
"Let's go!" Lin Feng gently patted Allegra on the shoulder.
"Congressman Lu, thank you very much for your help this time. Please tell President Kim that my 'Qidian Fast Food Restaurant' will definitely launch Korean fast food as soon as possible and make Korean fast food famous around the world." Lin Feng extended his hand to say goodbye to South Korea.
Congressman Roh Moo-hyun said goodbye. Having taken advantage of him this time, he should give back to Kim Dae-jung, which will also help the development of the "second world" in South Korea in the future.
"Mr. Lin, please." Roh Moo-hyun bowed and said.
Lin Feng smiled. The unexpected reward this time was that he got to know Roh Moo-hyun. He is the next president of South Korea!
But when he was about to get on the plane, Allegra frowned.
Chapter completed!
