The international competition day ends in September and the top five European leagues restart. On September 11, the number one news in international football was undoubtedly that Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the Dream Theatre at Old Trafford and scored twice to help Manchester United beat Newcastle United 4-1. But on this day, there was something more important and far-reaching than Ronaldo's return to the Dream Theater...

9 span Before the start of the International Game Day, the Premier League clubs voted to refuse to let the South American feet return to South America to play in the World Cup preliminaries, because according to the British government's epidemic prevention regulations, people entering from "red list countries" are required to undergo a 10-day compulsory quarantine. If the players return to play in South America, they will miss the next two rounds of the league and the mid-week European game, and because they can only be isolated in the hotel room, the players cannot perform normal training to maintain their state. In this case, the Brazilian team tried to recruit 8 Premier League players but failed to report to the national team. To this end, FIFA accepted the request of the Brazilian Football Association and imposed a five-day suspension on eight Brazilian internationals from the five clubs of Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Leeds United. But on September 11, Beijing time, FIFA suddenly overturned the previous ticket and announced that the ban on the South American football club was revoked. They can still play in the league starting this weekend as usual.
On the surface, this is undoubtedly a victory for Premier League and Premier League South American players, because like Liverpool’s Fabinho _span _span _span _span1 _span _span _span1 _span _span _span _span1 _松,Manchester City’s Edsson, Jesus, Chelsea’s Thiago Silva, Wolves’s Jiménez are the absolute main players of each team, even if they only miss one round. The league may also have a huge impact on the club. To keep the key players of the team in the formation, get nearly two weeks of rest, and at the same time, with more energy, put into the next stage of the domestic and European war games, the club that is exempted from the ban is undoubtedly the winner.
But on the other hand, the players ignore the call of the national team and do not have to pay any price, which makes the South American Football Association and FIFA faceless. The irony is that those Brazilian internationals who refuse to return to South America can successfully play in the club's games, and such as Martinez (Aston Villa) and Romero ( hotspan) who have returned to China. , Loscelso (Tottenham) and Buendia (Aston Villa), because they insisted on returning to the national team to participate in the World Preliminaries, when they returned to the UK again, they had to undergo a 10-day quarantine , Not only has a big discount on his own status, the club has also suffered a lot of losses. Waiting until the next international competition window in mid-October, is it a better choice for the international players who are listed as the "red list" countries and regions by the United Kingdom as long as they insist not to return to their country and stay in England?
More intriguingly, because of the UEFA Champions League and Europa League events, it is a cross-country and regional intercontinental event that the United Kingdom "faces the same red list". problem. The first round of this season’s Europa League, Serie A Naples team will be on September 17th, Beijing time.Challenge Leicester City away. At present, there are several international players in Naples who have just returned from the red list countries. They are Colombian national goal Ospina, Senegal defender Coulibaly, Kosovo central defender Rahmani and Nigeria striker Osimeen. If according to the “red list” of entry and exit, re-entry to the United Kingdom must be quarantined for 10 days, it is impossible for these players to complete the hotel quarantine for 10 days before the start of the game, not to mention the new round of Serie A in Naples this weekend. Start. Does this mean that these players are destined to miss the away game to challenge Leicester City? At least for now, neither the Italian health department nor the British health department has given a reply.
As a condition for FIFA to concession to Premier League clubs, players cannot be banned. FIFA hopes that in October’s international competition schedule, the United Kingdom can relax the 10-day quarantine limit to allow these The South American foot returned to China to participate in the World Cup preliminaries, and will not affect their participation in the league due to isolation after returning to the club. But this belongs to the British health department, not the jurisdiction of the Premier League or the Football Association. Therefore, what FIFA really hopes is that the relevant parties in the UK can open a green channel for the international players from the "red list" countries and regions. .
In fact, the British government has also opened a similar special case before. Now the summer European Cup enters the semi-final stage at the New Wembley Stadium in London and the British government. Thousands of UEFA guests and foreign fans who participated in the last three European Cup matches were exempted from entry and quarantine measures, but this caused strong dissatisfaction among the British people at the time. If this time we continue to give the green light to players from countries and regions on the "red list" that do have the potential to spread the virus, it will probably cause public resentment.
Obviously,On the issue of coordinating the different epidemic prevention regulations of different countries and regions, it is far from enough to rely on FIFA and the Premier League, the English Football Association and other football associations to reach a consensus. After all, this can only satisfy the interests of some people. Not everyone’s interest. For example, the four Argentine internationals in the Premier League who returned from Argentina were forced to quarantine for 10 days; while Messi and Neymar, who returned to Paris, failed to enter the Ligue 1 list because of their state and physical fitness. , There is no need to accept any isolation that may affect the status and the number of appearances. If at the end of the international match day, when returning to their respective clubs, there will be such unfair entry treatment. The contradiction between FIFA and its subordinate football associations and the most demanding Premier League clubs will probably never be. Resolve.
In addition, due to the appearance of the star players of the national team, whether in the club or the national team, it may affect the team's TV revenue, the difference between FIFA and the Premier League This duel is, in the final analysis, a competition of interests. If this benefit cannot be settled, the International Competition Day will inevitably turn into a farce.
At the same time, can the "red list" countries and regions, like the Asian teams, apply for exemptions from the domestic health authorities, or take the initiative to place the game in a relatively safe third place? Promoting the smooth progress of international competitions, but judging from previous reports, South American countries generally reject similar proposals. The South American Football Association and the ten South American countries can reach a mutual exemption agreement for the World Preliminary Tournament, which may already be the limit that these countries can achieve.
Therefore, this time FIFA pardons Premier League players who refuse to return to their country to play. It only temporarily calms this wave of contradictions and only relieves the immediate urgent need.But it failed to fundamentally solve the demands of the Premier League and the South American Football Associations. As for whether the conflict will intensify again, it depends on how much the British health department can make subsequent concessions. So, will all the UEFA Champions League and Europa League matches involving Premier League teams play at home next week, will something unexpected happen again?
