Chapter 876 Football Scandal

However, Blatter did not withdraw immediately after announcing his resignation.

Fifa said it will elect a new president between December 2015 and March 2016, and Blatter will continue to perform his duties until this re-election.

Although it was reported that Blatter might consider withdrawing his resignation and continue to serve as FIFA president, Blatter chose to give up and made it clear at the FIFA Executive Committee meeting in July that he was not the next candidate.

Immediately afterwards, in mid-June, the Swiss police raided the FIFA headquarters in Zurich, taking away a large amount of materials related to the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids.

All offices, including Blatter's, were searched, and the computer data in Secretary-General Walker and the chief financial officer's office were taken away.

Shortly thereafter, Swiss prosecutors announced the formal launch of a criminal investigation into Blatter's alleged misappropriation of funds and malfeasance.

According to media reports, Blatter sold the TV broadcasting rights of the 2010 and 2014 World Cups to the former North Central American and Caribbean Football Federation President at a price far below the market in 2005, and the latter sold them at a high price. .

Swiss prosecutors have reason to suspect that Blatter violated FIFA's entrustment to him and violated FIFA's market interests when exercising the contract.

In addition, the Swiss prosecutor stated that Blatter was also involved in illegally paying 2 million Swiss francs to UEFA President Michel Platini. In both cases, the prosecutor had sufficient evidence to launch an investigation.

Just recently, the FIFA Ethics Committee held a meeting and decided to temporarily suspend FIFA President Sepp Blatter, UEFA President Michel Platini, and FIFA Secretary-General Walker for 90 days.

However, when Blatter attended the hearing accompanied by his lawyer, he faced reporters from all over the world. He was deeply involved in the scandal, and his expression was very serious, and he ignored any media from the beginning to the end.

When facing cross-examination by the hearing team, Blatter insisted that he was innocent. It stands to reason that he should have nothing to do with Yang Cheng when things got to this point, but the fault lies with Blatter and Platt involved in the case. The influence of Tini, the two big names in football, is so bad that the media from various countries have expressed strong doubts about the corruption of Football Association officials, and have asked to form an investigation team to restore football to a clean environment.

The British media is the most developed, and they have always liked to fight against the Football Association. It is absolutely correct to scold the Football Association in the UK.

It turned out that it was okay if I didn't check it, but I was shocked when I checked it.

The "Daily Mail", which is rooted in the middle and lower classes, took the lead in instigating the flames of war, reporting with a prominent headline, "In England's leagues at all levels and even in European competitions, there are a lot of match-fixing."

In this wide-ranging investigation, a total of 380 games were considered "suspect" and involved 15 countries; Several top conversations in the league"; 425 officials and players caught up in match-fixing linked to a criminal network based in Singapore; £300 million bets on some national leagues and hundreds of millions in profits; personal The highest amount of black gold bribes received is as high as tens of millions of pounds.

Although the "Daily Mail" did not disclose the specific game, everyone is not stupid. In the past three or four years, only six English teams have participated in European competitions. These six teams are Manchester United, Arsenal , Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Chelsea.

What is intriguing is that the "Daily Mail" included six pictures in the online version of the report, namely Manchester United vs. Braga at Old Trafford, Manchester City vs. Real Madrid, Liverpool vs. Fiorentina at home, Chelsea vs. Barcelona and Tottenham played against Inter Milan at home, and Arsenal played against Montpellier at home, but the legend of each picture was marked with a joking text: "No voice identified that game as being involved in this investigation."

It's very ironic.

At the end of the article, it also specifically pointed out the role of the English Football Association in it, implying that the officials of the Zu~ Association have become corrupt, manipulated the results of the Premier League, and colluded with the betting group to earn profits. The police should immediately intervene and open a case for investigation.

The most ridiculous thing is that UEFA President Michel Platini, who is also involved in the corruption case, said in the face of the English reporter's question, "I don't know the authenticity of this investigation, but I am very worried about the occurrence of match-fixing incidents. In my opinion, this is the biggest disgrace of football, if tomorrow we watch a game and the result has been set in advance, then football is dead."

This statement was sprayed into shit by countless netizens, who scolded Platini for being shameless, and he was the mastermind behind the match-fixing in the Champions League.

Yang Cheng didn't have the mood to care about what Platini was sprayed with, because once the "Daily Mail" proposal was adopted and the police formally filed a case for investigation, then his investment in the past two years would be in vain.

He doesn't need to ask to know that there is a 100% problem with the Premier League's Big 6. Nonsense, this world is ultimately manipulated by capital. Which of the 6 giants is not backed by capital bosses, without the backing of capital, they would have been kicked out of the ranks of giants long ago.

Besides, the Football Association itself is a combination of interests, and the relationship with the wealthy is that of fellow countrymen. Only when the interests of the wealthy are guaranteed can they make money.

These are the first rules that everyone abides by. There is no need to criticize the fairness and injustice. Anyway, the world is as black as crows.

But these things can be tossed about underwater, and they have to be played together in the sun. The officials involved in the case are bound to be caught to the end, and they might not see the sun for the rest of their lives, and several big families also escaped. If the crowd is outraged, fines are pediatrics, and relegation penalty points are the biggest punishment for wealthy clubs. Think about it. For specific cases, please refer to Telegate in Italy.

No matter what, Yang Cheng can't let this kind of thing happen, at least not to him. Anyone who dares to let his investment go in vain is his enemy, and naturally he can't be soft-hearted when facing the enemy.

Therefore, under the instruction of Yang Cheng, the big boss, many British media controlled by him, including the Toutiao app and the "Sunday Times", directly set off a public opinion counterattack against the "Daily Mail".

At the same time, Yang Cheng also contacted William and had the opportunity to attack the "Daily Mail", which is something that every member of the British royal family spares no effort.

Who made the "Daily Mail" wantonly excavate the lace news and various scandals of the British upper class, especially the royal family, in order to open up the market and cater to the middle and lower class readers. The endless revelations made it miserable. Relying on this, the "Daily Mail" once endangered the living space of "The Times". After the sales volume rose, the "Daily Mail" restrained itself.
