Chapter 393 The Disgusting Stick and the Dark Referee
It is conceivable that under such circumstances, Japan, which was put together, almost spurted a mouthful of old blood. In order to successfully host the 2002 World Cup alone, it has been preparing for nearly eight years, but now it has to pinch its nose Co-hosting the World Cup with the Koreans ultimately gave the Koreans a free ride.

You must know that in later generations, a former South American Football Confederation official later revealed that after the Japanese Football Association successfully bid to host the 2002 World Cup, it presented 150 million U.S. dollars to the South American Football Federation as a reward for the federation's vote to support Japan's bid to host the 2002 World Cup. Among them, as much as 120 million went into the personal account of CONMEBOL President Nicola Leos, 20 was paid to the Secretary-General of CONMEBOL, and 10 went into the account of the staff of CONMEBOL in charge of foreign affairs with FIFA. fanny pack.

And it is not the most annoying thing to lose his wife and lose his army. The most angry thing is that after being forced to decide to co-host the World Cup, the biggest problem that naturally faces is how to allocate the main activities of the World Cup between these two countries.The Japanese side strongly demanded that the finals should be held in Japan. After all, it was a failure to hold the finals alone, but the right to host the finals must not be given up. South Korea's attitude is to use lottery to decide.

Finally, under the auspices of FIFA, the Korean Football Association, the Japan Football Association and the FIFA Organizing Committee jointly decided to hold the final in Japan and the opening ceremony in South Korea.In addition, the two sides also debated for more than two hours on the official name of the 2002 World Cup. FIFA initially determined the name of the 2002 World Cup as "2002 Japan-Korea World Cup (2002 Japan-Korea World Cup)" in accordance with international practice. ".However, South Korea unilaterally made a strong protest against this: "Why is Japan placed before South Korea in the official name?" Secretary-General Blatter at the time explained: "English is the first common language of FIFA. 'K' comes after 'j' in alphabetical order, so there's no way around it."

But the boss Zheng Mengzhun immediately refuted that in French, Korea is called Coree, and Japan is called Japon, and the order of notation should be South Korea before Japan.The name of the FIFA organization is also the abbreviation of "Federation Internationale de Football Association" in French, so no matter how you think about it, Korea should be placed ahead of Japan in the logo.

In this way, South Korea became the dominant player in this World Cup when everyone stuffed their money.

Of course, for Kenny and other professional players, whether it is held in South Korea, Japan, or jointly, it does not have much impact, but the Koreans have resorted to various insidious means to make their national team The historic entry into the semi-finals has also successfully made this World Cup the darkest World Cup in history.It is self-evident how difficult it is for an average Asian team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup in history, but the Koreans did it by using various black whistle and invisible means.

One of the two teams that suffered the most is the Italian national team where Kenny is now. In the [-]-to-[-] match between Italy and South Korea, the bribery referee Moreno turned a blind eye to the multiple vicious fouls of the South Korean players. The team's full-back Koko was also kicked on the head by a South Korean player and his face was covered with blood. Moreno still did not respond. Instead, Italian forward Totti was sentenced to flopping and expelled from the field, and Italian midfielder Tomasi was blown away. A golden goal that should have been undisputed.In the end, Italy was eliminated by the South Korean team in overtime, and this became a pain that Italian football could never erase. Even Frank Fradini, the Italian Minister of Public Affairs, said angrily: "I never I have never seen a game like this, it was as if someone had a meeting at a table and decided to throw Italy out."

Of course, not only the Italian Minister of Public Affairs, Moreno's penalty also caused a sensation around the world. All parties questioned that FIFA deliberately arranged for the referee to escort the South Korean team, but FIFA Secretary-General Sepp Blatter denied it. It is understood that the referee's mistake was premeditated, saying that Italy itself did not do a good job in both offense and defense.I have to say that the then Vice President of FIFA, the Korean Chung Mong-joon, was too high-handed. Although he was criticized by the Italian media after the World Cup, Italy’s elimination has become a fact. The Koreans also made history as they wished, and achieved their best World Cup results. , Even the referee Moreno continued to blow his game.

Speaking of which, the referee named Moreno is also a wonderful thing. In the 9th round of the Ecuadorian League on September 7 after the end of the World Cup, the Barcelona team (the Ecuadorian club with transparent La Liga giants) clashed with the University Sports United. Within 13 minutes The score was 90-3 with Barcelona leading.But at this moment, when the fourth official confirmed that the final stoppage time of the game was 2 minutes, Moreno bravely stood up and changed it to 4 minutes.

So in the 8th and 10th minutes of stoppage time, the university team successfully seized the opportunity to score two goals in a row and the result was reversed. At that time, public opinion generally believed that the university team was the team of the capital Quito, and the referee Moreno was obviously I want to please the people in Quito and win votes for the Quito City Council.However, this time, the dark referee was investigated by the Ecuadorian Football Association and FIFA due to the mistakes in this game and the suspected falsification of the time of the two goals in the game record.

But what people did not expect was that in 2003, in the third game after Moreno's successful comeback, in the match between Sporting Quito and Sporting Cuenca, he once again showed his talents and sent off as many as 3 players from Sporting Quito. What is hilarious is that in addition to Sporting Quito complaining about the black whistle, Sporting Cuenca also claimed that Moreno missed awarding them several penalties.The last two unflattering Morenos were suspended and punished. In the end, they could only announce their retirement sadly, so this well-deserved most famous black whistle in football history became a legend.

(Of course good and evil are rewarded. On September 2010, 9, Moreno was arrested at JFK International Airport in New York, USA. The police found 21 kilograms of heroin on him. According to local media reports in Ecuador, Moreno also sent Some of the drugs were hidden in the underwear, and they were caught in one fell swoop when passing through the customs. In the end, the unsuccessful Diablo referee Moreno was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for drug smuggling.)
Therefore, when he heard Totti's uneasy words, Kenny didn't know what to do, but he still forced a smile and said: "Francisco is not like the momentum and state that a prince in Rome should have. Those cranky thoughts have affected my state! You don't have the domineering look when I saw you in the game!"

Kenny understands that maybe Totti has heard some gossip outside, which is why he has such worries, but on the other side, Kenny is also clenching his fists. With himself in this life, how can he let those disgusting sticks succeed?

"Ha, yes, Lloris! We are the biggest favorites to win the championship now!" I don't know if Kenny's words have played a role, and Totti's condition looks much better again.As he said, the current star-studded Italian national team not only includes the core players and main starters of each giant, but even the bench is not to be underestimated. They are the favorites to win the World Cup with France and Brazil. The odds overwhelmed the other two opponents.

One of the reasons for chasing it is because they are not only the new European champions, but the players of the Italian team have also performed brilliantly in the league and the Champions League this season and are in excellent condition.The second is that the 3R, which the Brazilians are proud of, is not in good form this season. Ronaldo has been injured for a long time at Inter Milan. The team was reversed 4-2 by Lazio, and could only cover their faces and cry on the bench; Rivaldo was in poor form and had many conflicts with Barcelona after being eliminated from the Champions League. Now he has reached the critical point of leaving the team; Jardinho is indiscriminate in his private life in Paris, often absent from training, and did not play enough games before the World Cup.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the Samba army did not show its former style in people's eyes, and the defending champion France team was even more miserable. They arrived in South Korea ahead of schedule and played the last warm-up match before the World Cup. A player who should not be injured, Zidane.

The dramatic thing is that the opponent of the French team in this warm-up match turned out to be the South Korean team, one of the hosts. When Nan Yi heard the news after the game, he said with a smile: "His medical expenses should be deducted from my annual salary."

Whether intentional or not, in short, in people's eyes, the most threatening and most feared part of the French team has disappeared.Although there are still Serie A top scorer Trezeguet and Premier League silver boot Henry in the French team at this time, as the best substitute for Zidane, Pires, who helped Arsenal win the Premier League title, has exploded this season. Unfortunately, he was injured before this
So the reporters from various media started their crazy journey of milking Italy. For such a situation, the coach Zoff kept reminding the players to keep a normal mind and not to underestimate any opponent. In this way, in the afternoon of that day, the players of the Italian national team took a special plane and embarked on the journey to the World Cup amidst the cheers of media and fan representatives from all walks of life.

The [-]-hour flight is undoubtedly a long time. For the players, the best way to pass the time is to sleep, so not long after the plane took off, the players snored one after another in the quiet seats.

　After all, I still can't help but complain, my prince
