To understand why the British are so obsessed with the ball, you can understand by looking at the historical records.

The UK is recognized as the origin of the horse. It was the first place where lottery tickets appeared in the UK. It began to issue lottery tickets in 1569. Until today, in all levels of the UK, there are different staff from each stadium selling bet orders, and betting is as convenient as buying a glass of beer.

The so-called dealer was born at that time. In order to make the winner fairly and safely obtain, people are willing to hand over the money to those respected, honest and trustworthy middlemen to keep and pay tips. Later, these middlemen gradually became professional businessmen, which is the prototype of British companies today.

After the legalization of gambling, there is not a complete absence of counterfeiting. In football leagues such as Italy and other countries, the problem of counterfeiting is much more serious than that of the UK. Legalizing the matchmaking is naturally not a solution once and for all.

For example, when you see a giant team being defeated by a weak team, you will sigh that this is the mystery of football, or you will hum two words contemptuously from your nostrils, "Fake the ball!"

"...Real Madrid had the "habit" of giving Rolex watches worth 1,500 to 4,000 pounds to the linebacker before the game, and Real Madrid eventually won these games.

The French Ligue 1 powerhouse Bordeaux even set up an account as a special fund for relevant personnel in up to 16 European games..." On the phone, Nikola Costi continued to expose the bad news of the football to his boss with a hint of mocking in his tone.

"Although the bribery methods of the Football Group seem to be old-fashioned, but they are extremely powerful. They are very particular when choosing a career partner. They will carefully analyze football people, select those who are fond of money, those who are greedy for beauty, and those who are greedy for beauty, and use their weaknesses to "get trapped" the chess pieces.

If players and guan players cannot bribe, they will also have "good tricks" to deal with, that is poisoning!"

Hearing this, Arthur's brow not only frowned. Sure enough, if there is 100% profit, some people dare to stand up and take risks; if there is 200% profit, some people dare to despise the law, if there is 300% profit, then some people dare to trample on everything in the world!

"...To those 'disobedient' players, they bribed the team doctor and the chef in the hotel where they stayed to him, so that he could not play. It is said that a team doctor from Slovenniya team had poisoned and gave the players a "sedative".

When it comes to the next du, the most famous one is Ronaldo's performance in the 1998 World Cup. Before the final, Ronaldo suddenly had an abnormal health and was mediocre in the final. Brazil finally lost to France. After the game, many media broke inside stories, saying that Ronaldo "had eaten something he shouldn't have eaten in the lounge before the game, which resulted in Jingluan and almost couldn't play..."

After hearing these revelations, Arthur had to sigh. Sure enough, as long as there are huge interests, the struggle around interests will not be eliminated. It is easy to see how much deterrent the "anti-du storm" caused by European football this time, and whether it can be found to be investigated to the end!

At around 2 pm, Nikola Costie rushed from Southampton to London, met with Arthur, and drove to the FA headquarters together.

This time I came to the FA, which was completely different from the last time. The entire FA headquarters can be said to be crowded and very lively. I came to the meeting this afternoon and were all heads of British professional teams. In addition to the staff of the FA, there were almost 200 people sitting in the auditorium.

This time, the FA can only focus on the big and small, focusing on professional teams. After all, if you really want to gather all football clubs in the UK, I'm afraid you can only go to the stadium to have a meeting.

You should know that as the origin of modern football, the UK is one of the countries with the most complete grassroots football system. Almost all communities have teams and participate in the league. In one region of England, there are more than 37,000 clubs, and hundreds of thousands of games, football communities and football education activities are held every year.

At the top of the Football League pyramid is a single group of Premier League, which includes 20 teams. Below is the Football League, which is divided into three levels: the Championship League, the A League and the B League, with 24 teams in each level. Although the Premier League left the Football League in 1992, its 20 teams still joined forces with 72 league teams to call the League Club and are all professional teams.

Although there are many people, it is undoubtedly the only existence that young like Arthur. As soon as he and Nicholas sat down, many people cast attention to him.

These eyes contain various emotional meanings, some are scrutinized, some are indifferent, some are also joking, and of course, more are kindness and curiosity.

Arthur could understand his curious eyes, but those who nodded and smiled at him from time to time made him a little confused. You know, although he caused a lot of controversy when he acquired the Southampton Club, it was definitely the first time he made his debut at a rally in the British football world. Not to mention familiarity, he couldn't even be considered familiar.

From time to time, Nicola Costie, who waved to acquaintances and nodded to say hello, turned around and saw the puzzled expression on the face of the young boss beside him. At this time, Arsenal's head coach Wenger nodded in the direction of them. He couldn't help but understand, with a smile on his face, lowered his voice, and said to the young boss in a low voice: "Although the boss is in the First Division, our youth training is unmatched by other clubs..."

"Haha..." Hearing Nicholas point out the connection, Arthur shook his head and sighed with laughter and crying: "Okay, they really regard us as popular players' supermarkets."

Arthur, who realized the root of the problem, really didn't know what to say. No wonder the heads of the clubs in the Premier League area treated him with a smile. They were not interested in him, the young billionaire owner, but coveted the youth training players of his club.

TM, old foxes, are indeed not good people!

"The Saints produce must be a fine product." Although Southampton Youth Training has not produced many superstars, many of the producers have become the backbone of the league, especially the local players in the UK, which is really a hot item.

The Saints' survival mode in the Premier League is second to none. Since Arthur took over, the Saints' youth training system has been paid more attention to. Some media have even said that it is even more Arsenal than Arsenal! Ajax youth training brings fresh blood to Dutch football, Lamacia youth training camp has brought many superstars to Barcelona, ​​and Southampton has supported half of the Premier League!

In the past few years, whenever the star was sold, fans would think that severe blood loss would cause them to suffer the misfortune of being relegated again, but the Saints were often able to pass the championship and rely on the English Championship. When other giant teams were spending money to buy people, Southampton relied on the youth training system, and even when the club's finances were at its most difficult time, they could still survive...

However, since Arthur took over, he has not only publicly stated that he will no longer sell the leading stars, but even the good seedlings of the youth training system have been protected and will not be sold to the public at all.

In the former Premier League supermarket, there is no product on the shelves, which makes several Premier League teams that are concerned about Saints youth training players really depressed.
