The outbreak of the Telephone Scandal caused a strong earthquake all over the world.
Although Serie A's performance in the Champions League has not been as good as before in recent years, the title of Little World Cup is still resounding.
Juventus, AC Milan and other wealthy teams are still the targets of stars all over the world.
But now, with the outbreak of the Calciopoli scandal, Serie A has fallen into complete turmoil.
First, the recording of Moggi manipulating referees was released, and then more and more people were involved, and more and more teams were involved. AC Milan, Lazio, Fiorentina, and even Inter Milan were affected.
.
This immediately put the entire Serie A into panic.
And at this critical moment, Shevchenko was announced to have transferred to Chelsea for a high price of 50 million euros.
Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy used the word "escape" to describe Shevchenko's transfer, believing that the Ukrainian nuclear warhead couldn't wait to escape and go to Chelsea after seeing the current situation in Serie A.
As more and more information was revealed, government agencies began to intervene and investigate Juventus' finances. As a result, this investigation found that there were problems in Juventus's past 41 transfers.
This includes the transfer of the century when Zidane moved to Real Madrid.
This once again aroused strong concern around the world.
Along with the scandal comes panic.
After Shevchenko moved to Chelsea, other Serie A stars, including Veron, were also considering leaving, especially Juventus, which bore the brunt. Many stars, including head coach Capello, were looking for
Next home.
Other teams in the four major leagues are also paying attention to Serie A's Calciopoli, especially Juventus.
The Bianconeri's lineup can be said to be quite luxurious, with Ibrahimovic, Nedved, Buffon, Gianluca Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Emerson, Vieira, Thuram... many stars.
They are all first-tier players in Europe. If Juventus is really punished and relegated, these players will inevitably leave the Bianconeri, which will inevitably trigger the pursuit of other European giants.
Vieira, for example, has been linked with Manchester United and Arsenal, and is likely to transfer back to the Premier League.
Zambrotta has attracted attention from Real Madrid, Barcelona and AC Milan.
Czech Ironman Nedvěd is the most loyal. He said that if the team is really punished and relegated, he will choose to retire.
It can be said that Juventus has long been in disarray and chaos.
…
While Serie A is making a fuss over the call-gate, Chelsea, which had just failed in the Champions League final, is making a killing in the transfer market.
In order to make up for the impact of the defeat in the Champions League final, Abramovich not only spent 50 million euros to lure Shevchenko from AC Milan, but also signed the German midfielder Barca from Bayern Munich on a free transfer.
Lack signed youngster Kalou from Feyenoord.
Among them, Ballack's annual salary is the same as Shevchenko's, which is 10 million euros.
The joining of two superstars makes Chelsea's lineup look even more dazzling. Both Shevchenko and Ballack are superstars with strong offensive abilities, which will also greatly make up for the offensive shortcomings in Chelsea's lineup.
So much so that after completing the accumulation of big-name stars, the Daily Mail, which is close to Chelsea, began to declare in a high-profile manner that they will compete for the Champions League championship in the new season.

After Su Dong signed a contract extension with Barcelona in Spain, all other details were entrusted to Mendes and Ma Dawei. He himself set off from Barcelona to join his parents and Wang Chuqing in France.
After playing in France for a few days, Su Dong and his party went to Munich, Germany, and were invited to attend the opening ceremony of the World Cup.
This was an invitation Beckenbauer sent to Su Dong in person after the Champions League final, and a week before the opening ceremony, a dedicated person was responsible for communicating and coordinating with Su Dong and taking care of the food, accommodation and travel for him and his family during their stay in Germany.
The German organizers have taken great pains to prepare for this World Cup opening ceremony, inviting more than 170 previous World Cup champions who are still alive to come to the scene to cheer up. This makes the entire German World Cup opening ceremony a gathering of superstars.
Among the many guests, Su Dong was the most special.
Because he is an active player and has been a double footballer for two consecutive years, but he cannot play in the World Cup or even enter the national team, which makes him a unique sight in the stands.
Especially when the opening ceremony of the World Cup was broadcast in China, the camera was focused on Su Dong for a long time.
The commentator mentioned with regret more than once that if the national team had Su Dong, he believed that he could participate in the World Cup, and Su Dong would not have to sit in the stands.
When all the media were photographing Su Dong, they naturally noticed Wang Chuqing, who was sitting next to Su Dong and looked pretty and refined. Although Su Dong's parents were between them, they were still noticed by interested people.
The entire opening ceremony was very grand and the scene was very grand, especially when more than 170 living members of the World Cup winning team lined up to enter the stadium, it caused a sensation in the whole place.
The opening ceremony reached its climax when Beckenbauer appeared, and the whole audience cheered "Caesar".
Su Dong feels that in fact, many fans in China underestimate Beckenbauer's influence.
As the only two football kings recognized by FIFA, Beckenbauer's status and influence in world football are not inferior to Pele at all, or even surpass Pele. This is because Pele looks more like
He is like a mascot, but Beckenbauer's skills and influence are real.
Without Beckenbauer, Germany would not have been able to host this World Cup.
"There is an old saying that goes well, if wealth does not return to its hometown, it will be like walking in brocade at night!" Looking at the momentum created by Beckenbauer, his father Su Wenji suddenly let out a long sigh.
Su Dong heard it, but didn't know what to say.
…
The opening match is Germany vs. Costa Rica.
The strength of these two teams is not at the same level. Not long after the start, Germany also opened the scoring for the German team with a long shot from Lahm that penetrated Costa Rica's goal.
This goal also completely ignited the fanatical atmosphere at the Allianz Arena.
The two teams then had a fierce match, and in the end the German team defeated Costa Rica 4-2 and won the opening game.

After participating in the opening ceremony, Su Dong did not leave Germany. Instead, he continued to stay in Munich and traveled around with his parents.
Wang Chuqing has been in Munich for many years and is very familiar with everything here. She volunteered to be a tour guide and take them around.
Su Dong and his son are both fans, so naturally they will not miss the exciting game.
Although they don't watch every game, they will watch the live broadcast of any exciting duel, and Wang Chuqing is always there to accompany them.
Three days after the opening game, the four of Su and Dong went to nearby Stuttgart to watch the match between France and Switzerland. As a result, the French team led by Zidane drew 0-0 with Sweden, which disappointed Su Dong.
Originally, Su Dong wanted to watch Argentina's games, but unfortunately, Argentina's games were all in the north, the farthest being Hamburg, which was too far, so he gave up and watched the live broadcast instead.
On the contrary, during the match between Portugal and Iran, Su Dong went to Frankfurt to cheer for Ronnie on the spot.
Portugal defeated Iran 2-0 with Ronny scoring a penalty.
"Ronnie, you are so handsome! I love you!"
After the game, when Su Dong saw Ronnie walking back to the tunnel, he shouted loudly.
Ronnie originally lowered his head, but suddenly he heard someone calling his name and saying "I love you" to him. He was frightened and quickly raised his head. When he saw it was Su Dong, he pointed his middle finger at him, but he smiled
I couldn’t close my mouth from ear to ear.
He still clearly remembered that when Su Dong was playing for Sporting CP, he and Jose Semedo shouted like this. Unexpectedly, Su Dong came over to cheer him on.
This brat didn't even tell me in advance when he came, what kind of surprise could he have?
…
After the game, Su Dong went to the Portuguese national team's hotel to meet with Ronnie, Figo, Deco and others.
This should be regarded as the happiest time for Carvalho, Ferreira and others to meet Su Dong.
Because they don't have to be enemies with Su Dong.
Regarding the performance of his best friend, Su Dong felt that it was not particularly good and he did not fully display his level and threat.
"You are not even as good as Figo!" Su Dong said bluntly.
Ronnie also realized it and put his hand on Su Dong's shoulder, "I've been adjusting recently and I believe it will get better and better in the future."
…
Sure enough, in the subsequent games, Ronnie performed better and better. After helping Portugal advance from the group stage, they defeated the Netherlands in the knockout round and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
In addition, Su Dong also went to watch Messi's game. In Argentina's 6-0 victory over Serbia and Montenegro, he came on as a substitute in the 75th minute and scored the last goal, but his performance was still
Not as good as when I was at Barcelona.
Subsequently, in the round of 16 knockout match against Mexico, Messi came on as a substitute again and scored a goal, helping Argentina defeat Mexico 2-1 and successfully advance to the quarterfinals.
Su Dong chased his best friends' matches back and forth and couldn't get enough of them. At the same time, he was very envious that his two best friends could play in the World Cup.
As for another team he cared about, Spain was invincible in the group stage, winning three out of three games, but in the knockout round of the top 16, it fell to the French team.
Although Aragones adopted a four-three-three formation, the combination of Raul, Torres and Villa in the frontcourt lacked threat, and the combination of Cesc Fabregas, Xavi and Xavi Alonso in the midfield also had problems.
This also triggered controversy from the outside world, after all, Barcelona had just won the Triple Crown.
The midfield combination of Xavi, Iniesta and Marcos Senna performed very well and should have continued Barcelona's outstanding performance in the national team, but Xavi became the main force, and Iniesta and Marcos Senna
Instead, he became a substitute, which was surprising.
So much so that after Spain was eliminated by the French team, the Spanish media were questioning Aragones' formation.
Su Dong, who was in Germany, didn't pay attention to this. After watching the knockout round of the top 16, he went to Gelsenkirchen to watch England's quarterfinal knockout match against Portugal.
