"Where we are now is Santa Cruz, Bolivia. In the building behind me, the leaders of nine South American countries are holding a joint meeting!!"

"Friends! This meeting was held after breaking through many obstacles! Chilean President O'Higgins called this day a historic day! On this day, the top leaders of nine South American countries gathered together. Although, The Western world has put a lot of pressure on them, but their determination to form the South American Union is firm and they are not afraid of anything!"

"Just in the morning, Brazil's female president Safon delivered a passionate speech! She said that South Americans have the same beliefs! Similar cultures! We are a huge whole! Although the language spoken by the Brazilians is different from the Most South Americans are a little bit different, but Brazil is willing to show their great sincerity to the people of South America!"

"The President of Colombia said that even if they were originally a family, when brothers and sisters of the same father and mother live together again, they will feel uncomfortable in one way or another. But if everyone makes an effort, they will find that everything It will all be wonderful! Colombia has drafted a stricter gun control law! And will step up the pace of implementation!"

At this moment, media reporters from many different countries gathered in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. In the past week, many countries in South America have paid great attention to this meeting. News programs about this meeting It is broadcast almost 24 hours a day on many TV stations in many countries in South America.

Countless South Americans are following this meeting.

Many people look forward to the establishment of the South American Union, and of course many people will oppose it.

There have been uninterrupted demonstrations against the establishment of the South American Union in the past month, and Western societies have also followed up with reports.

Obviously, the United States would not want such a South American Union to be born.

An EU has already confronted the United States in various aspects such as politics, economy, and military affairs, and has threatened an absolute and detached position of the United States in the international community.Not to mention that the Latin American world has always been extremely strong on political issues. European countries dare not asylum them, and Russia does not take them in. Many countries in the Latin American world will make high-profile statements that they are willing to provide political asylum to these people.

Perhaps some of the default rules in the Western world have always been nothing in the eyes of Latin American people.

It is precisely because of this that the leaders of the nine South American countries can gather in Santa Cruz, Bolivia today. It can be said that they have experienced difficulties and obstacles that many people cannot see.However, they still sat together on this day.

There will be many people with an eye on the final outcome of this meeting.

"How is the situation now?"

"It's very complicated. Although the group of reporters outside are now full of enthusiasm, the situation is more complicated than we thought at the beginning. The worst result, the second meeting still can't make a final decision."

"Complicated? Like?"

"Although Colombia has promised stricter control over private guns, many people are still very afraid of these. Obviously, people are afraid that once the barriers between the nine South American countries are broken, the dangerous factors will invade the safest places in South America at the fastest speed. Including Bolivia."

"So, the security issue is now blocking the establishment of the South American Union. The biggest issue, is that so?"

"Young man, you're smart, if you add the qualifier 'biggest', I think I can give you an affirmative answer."

At this moment, Bailey's little grandson York Book is also anxiously waiting in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.Moreover, because they have special channels, he and his colleague who is many years older than him can know some first-hand information that journalists cannot know.

Obviously, the wish of several countries to form a huge alliance has always encountered a lot of resistance. This resistance comes from the outside world and also from within them.

The more powerful countries in the alliance will worry that they will be dragged down by other countries in the alliance, while the weaker countries in the alliance will worry that they will lose too much right to speak in this alliance, and even We can only let the stronger country call the shots.

Compared with the establishment of the European Union, the security issue in South America will be a more important key.

Although, in recent decades, the level of security in South America has risen several levels, there are safer South American countries, and of course there are more dangerous South American countries. If the border barriers between countries are opened, How to prevent those dangerous elements from committing transnational crimes easily in the entire alliance?If this problem is not well resolved, it will inevitably cause uneasiness and dissatisfaction among many people.

Think about it, how can Colombia, which is not considered a big country, be able to manufacture the best body armor in the world?

Such a question is obviously something that people don't want to think about.

Clearly, this is a country where, just a few decades ago, even the president was shot dead in public.

"Sir, in fact, I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Personally, I hope that South American countries can abandon the barriers between countries. I also hope that more people can come to South America and see this piece of land. What does this beautiful land look like. I hope... people's impression of South America will not just stop at 'hearing'."

"Yes, that's our wish too."

Obviously, it has been expected that this meeting for the establishment of the South American Union is likely to fail to reach a consensus again. This Brazilian with a quarter of black blood seems a little lonely.And the white-haired but extremely energetic elder sitting beside him also gave an answer.

The elder said: "For us, only when South America becomes a huge whole like Europe can our football get a second leap forward. However, no matter which one it is, it is an ongoing development. , an unchangeable general trend. Now, we can only do everything we can and wait for that node to come.”

2038 years,

12 month.

"Fans and friends! This is Football Express!! In the last match of Group H of the UEFA Champions League group stage that just ended, the Portuguese Super League team Porto lost to the local super giants Fenerbahçe at home! Therefore, the Portuguese Super League The two teams in China, Porto and Sporting Lisbon, have missed the quarter-finals of the Champions League this year! The same fate as Porto and Sporting Lisbon is the old La Liga team Atletico Madrid and the Premier League giants Manchester City. The team has been upset one after another in the group stage of this UEFA Champions League, and has entered the top 3 of the UEFA Cup with the No.32 score in the group stage!!"

In the heavy rain, Porto, one of the top three in the Portuguese Super League, took a bus to leave the home court of the local giants Fenerbahce, the Saragioglu Stadium.

The hell home of the Turkish team has always been famous in Europe, and since this country with 96.9% of its land area in Asia also joined the European Union, the three major teams located in Istanbul, Turkey, Galatasaray, Besitex , and Fenerbahce's strength has made an amazing leap. In recent years, the "top three in the Turkish Super League" have always bit the traditional "top three in the Portuguese Super League" very tightly on the battlefield of European club competitions.

And this time Porto lost to Fenerbahce in the Champions League group stage and was eliminated, which made the boys who played in the Portuguese Super League extremely depressed.

In this UEFA Champions League group match, Lei Yi, who had just landed in the European arena, finally saw for the first time what a "Turkish" fan is.

Oh, it's horrible that they put smoke in the stadium!It's still raining! !

This group of Turks has created an almost terrifying, distorted space in their home field! !

"Poor boy, haven't you recovered from being frightened by the Turks?"

The person who said this was a player named Kisas in the Porto club who always dressed himself like the image of "Jesus" in many religious portraits.When he stretched out his hand to touch the top of Lei Yi's head, it always gave people the feeling that he was baptizing the saints with holy light!

"I... I was just wondering why I didn't score the three balls I kicked. I felt the angle was right when I kicked it out, but I don't know why when the ball reached the goal, it either hit the post or hit it. The crossbar..."

After Lei Yi said these words, the Porto players who heard his words fell silent.

Thanks to the hell home court of the Turkish Super League team, perhaps the strong teams in Europe will not like to go to the home courts of those Turkish teams to play games.Oh, nightmare, it was just a nightmare.

Lei Yi: "We... were eliminated in the Champions League group stage..."

Kiss: "Yeah."

Lei Yi: "Then...there won't be any European club competitions..."

Kisas: "No, we are ranked third in the group, and then we can start from the round of 32 in the Europa League."

Lei Yi: "That's great!!"

Teammates: "..."

Although the European Champions Cup and the Europa League, referred to as the Champions League, are both top-level competitions among European clubs, it can be seen from their names alone which of these two competitions is more valuable.

Taking the Premier League as an example, the top three teams in the English Premier League can directly advance to the UEFA Champions League group stage next season, while No.4 can participate in the Champions League qualifying round until No.5 in the league. It will be the team that will qualify for the Europa League next season.

In other words, in terms of the strength of the participating teams, the overall level of the European Champions Cup will be much stronger than the Europa League.It is precisely because of this that the European Champions Cup will receive far more attention in football than the Europa League.Not to mention, the treatment given to the Europa League participating teams in the Europa League will be far less than that of the Champions League.

This is manifested in all aspects, the most obvious of which is the appearance fee of the participating teams.

Regardless of whether it is a win, a loss, or a draw, UEFA's appearance fee for the Europa League teams will be much lower than that of the UEFA Champions League teams.

It's no wonder that many rich teams will play those bad games so easily that the fans will break their glasses after unfortunately falling to the Europa League.Perhaps in the eyes of those wealthy teams, instead of prolonging the front line and falling into multi-line battles because of the Europa League, it is better to give up the Europa League early, and then they can let go of the burden in their respective teams and go all out to compete in the league. top position.

Perhaps the most impressive example is that Juventus, the northern giants of Serie A, was directly eliminated in the Europa League group stage with six consecutive draws when all members said that they had done their best.And the Manchester duo were both upset in the UEFA Champions League group stage. They fell into the top 3 of the Europa League with the No.32 score in the group stage, and both were immediately eliminated by the small teams.

Of course, the contemptuous attitude of such giant teams towards the Europa League will eventually cause the leagues in which these teams are located to suffer a big loss.

Since the results of the Europa League and the UEFA Champions League are important evidence for the calculation of points in the European leagues, the poor results of those rich teams in the Europa League will of course affect the ranking of their leagues in Europe. In a bad situation, the decline in rankings is caused by... the reduction in the number of places in the Champions League.

This reduction in the number of places in the Champions League may not directly affect these giants themselves, but it will affect the second group in the league standings.Therefore, the poor performance of the giant team in the Europa League will of course be boycotted and protested by its league.

But even so, some giants will still be taught repeatedly on the issue of being too contemptuous when dealing with the Europa League.

On such issues, the Spanish La Liga team may be the most reassuring to their league.

For example, in this Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid, who fell to the Europa League round of 32 together with Sporting Lisbon and Porto.Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao, who also came from La Liga with him, can be said to be the spokespersons of La Liga in the Europa League for a long time, and they are a good interpretation of what is called "attacking with life".

In the season when these two teams were unable to reach the knockout rounds of the UEFA Champions League, they almost always used their lives to explain what it means to be the "Europa League overlord".The so-called "Europa League overlord" means that as long as I am in the Europa League, no matter what kind of rich teams come here, they will be killed by me and my fighting partners.If you don't believe me, come and have a try?

Perhaps, in the first year Lei Yi joined Porto, one of the top three in the Portuguese Super League, he was able to meet such a legendary team in the Europa League...
