Chapter 536: The Chinese team doesn’t want you, but the European Chinese team needs you!

In the next match, Manchester City won 3-0 away against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup.

Zhao Yi was on the bench and did not appear on the court.

In the league, the team defeated West Ham United 4:0 away. Zhao Yi played for minutes and scored two goals.

An easy win.

In the second leg of the League Cup semi-final, they defeated Hull City 3-0 to advance to the league final.

Maguire did not defend Zhao Yi this time. Zhao Yi, who stayed on the wing, scored twice.

The state is hot.

This season, Zhao Yi did not fall into a slump for a period of time like he did last season.

He became more and more courageous as the game went on, leading Manchester City to dominate the Premier League.

In the next two Premier League games, Manchester City defeated Swansea and Bournemouth 4:1 and 2:0 at home and away respectively.

After beating Huddersfield 2-0 in the FA Cup, Manchester City was in the red on all three fronts.

What is frustrating is that despite the intensive schedule, the team still has injury problems.

Stones returned from injury and was injured again.

Kyle Walker also suffered an injury on the right side.

The recovery period is estimated to be one month.

The good news is that Manchester City has not lost any players in the midfield or frontcourt.

There were just some problems in the defense.

Next, Manchester City will have two relatively important games, one is the Champions League against Monaco, and the other is the League Cup final against Southampton.

Manchester City, which has been on the rise in England, is finally going to move to the European arena.

Before Manchester City's Champions League match started, FIFA broke a shocking piece of news.

Infantino had previously expressed in an interview that he hoped to find a way to allow players like Zhao Yi to participate in the World Cup.

Many people think that Infantino is just talking to increase his exposure and influence.

Unexpectedly, Infantino really started doing it.

FIFA has introduced a special clause for naturalized players.

It is just a less mature clause that is going to be tried out in the next few years to see how it works.

In the past few years, FIFA has already introduced some clauses for players who want to participate in the World Cup but cannot join the national team, hoping to give more players the opportunity to participate in the World Cup and to improve the combat effectiveness of some teams.

It is the naturalized player clause.

Now FIFA has made an addition to the terms.

This clause is called the Special Clause for Naturalized Player Talents.

However, as soon as the news broke, the media named this clause the "Zhao Yi Clause."

When a player meets the following conditions, he or she can join all FIFA national or regional association teams.

No change of nationality is required.

1. Never joined any national or regional team (including youth team).

2. An agreement needs to be reached with the intended football association.

3. Won the FIFA World Player of the Year award or was selected into the FIFA World Team three or more times.

Anyone who is not a fool can understand who this so-called trial operation supplementary clause is for.

The biggest reason for the emergence of naturalized players is that some outstanding players want to play in the World Cup but are unable to join their national team.

why?

Because there are too many strong players in the national team, there is no chance and they can only choose to naturalize in other national teams.

Players who have been selected into the world's best team three times or have won the Footballer of the Year award will definitely not miss the invitation from their national team.

Infantino privately called that power, which does not require a change of nationality, a "great and crazy idea."

When this news was revealed, Infantino's self-proclaimed great and crazy idea was removed from the word "great" by the football world.

Most people think that Infantino is crazy.

This is just a pure crazy idea.

Many of them believe that Infantino took money.

Either it was a certain national football association that had reached an agreement with Zhao Yi, or it was the financial backer behind Zhao Yi who gave the money.

This is enough money for Infantino to spend in his lifetime.

Otherwise, how could Infantino be so bold as to propose such a regulation?

Can you play in international competitions for the team of this country without changing your nationality?

What kind of system is this?

Infantino said proudly, "Clubs can have players from all over the world, and the five major leagues have gathered the best players in the world.

Why can’t the national team do the same?

We should make changes.

It is planned that players can change their nationality and go to other countries to participate in competitions. Why is it necessary to change their nationality?

Why can't those players who are good enough and have a strong sense of patriotism realize their dreams?

In all systems and institutions, geniuses have special privileges. This is a fact. Why can't FIFA do the same? "

Infantino was scolded by some people.

There are also some people who support FIFA reform.

But overall, there are more criticisms than support.

Infantino didn't care too much.

Anyway, it is a trial clause. If the opposition is too great, we can change it!

This time, UEFA firmly stood on the side of FIFA.

Row!

This clause is good!

Thumbs up for you!

why?

Once this clause comes out, Zhao Yi will most likely join the European national football team.

Its competitive value and the commercial value behind it are absolutely second to none.

This could bring immeasurable benefits to UEFA.

No matter whether Zhao Yi chooses England or France, Portugal or Germany in the end.

UEFA can make a lot of money.

UEFA's strong support is also one of the reasons why Infantino dared to propose such a clause.

The English Football Association was the first to stand up for Infantino.

“This is a great change, and the football world needs to keep innovating and adapting to the times.

If a player wins the FIFA World Player of the Year award but cannot play in the World Cup or European Championship due to nationality issues, it will be a loss for football and for the fans!"

The English Football Association later emphasized that "Zhao Yi started his career in England and we have witnessed his growth from a substitute in a second-tier club to the core of a top club.

Finally, to the World Footballer of the Year.

We are also willing to witness Zhao Yi's growth in the England national team!"

French fans, who have always been at odds with England, saw the news and cursed the French Football Association and the English Football Association.

"Officially announced?"

"The English Football Association has lost all its face!!"

"Infantino took the money!"

"The English Football Association gave Infantino money!! They are in collusion!!"

"Blatter has been arrested, so Infantino wants to be arrested too? So openly?"

"They just announced the genius clause, and here they officially announced joining England?"

"Corrupt FIFA! Corrupt FA!"

"Catch them all and shoot them!!!"

“Kill this bunch of bureaucrats!!!”
