In the eyes of the wise men who believe in conspiracy theories, the draws for major tournaments are fake, or mostly fake.
The Champions League round of 16 draw, a burlesque drama that drew a white draw and re-drawn, brought happiness to the melon-eating masses, and also made conspiracy theory enthusiasts such as treasures: the original arrangement of Merlot, UEFA intended to brush enough traffic in the 1/8 final, did not think, acted, forced to re-draw under pressure, and did fake to do so fake.
In the eyes of the wise men who believe in conspiracy theories, the draws for major events are fake, or most of them are fake: (1) the organizers will guarantee some strong teams that look good; (2) the organizers will set up a situation to kill some strong teams that look unpleasant; (3) the organizers will also deliberately arrange some strong dialogues with strong topics.
These three basic theories of conspiracy theories are largely invincible. Strong to fight weak is to guarantee, strong to fight strong is to set up or arrange, the inference is that weak is forced to be discharged after designing strong and strong and weak. In this way, most of the confrontations are already conspiracies that can be justified by the three-yin theory.
As for who to protect and who to do, basically, those local tycoons who challenge the order are to die, represented by Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City; those who belong to the "famous and decent" who belong to the traditional forces are to be protected, represented by Emperor Saren.
Of course, Real Madrid has now become a thorn in the side of UEFA due to its stubborn resistance to the European Super League issue, and it is said that it should belong to the category of needing to die. However, this time for the first draw, Real Madrid drew the relatively weak Benfica. It doesn't matter, after the news of the re-draw came out, it is said that Real Madrid expressed its dissatisfaction, which did not give you a second time?
Sure enough it was an arrangement. The wise men won again.
In the past many years, the guarantee of Real Madrid was a major argument for conspiracy theories. In the previous 10 years of the quarter-final draw, Real Madrid have encountered opponents who are significantly weaker than themselves on paper 7 times, and opponents of basically the same grade (Manchester United, Paris, Manchester City in the Ferguson era). 70% probability of signing.
Think of a reason for the wise men: Real Madrid's 3 signings were all under the premise that they only won the second place in the group before. However, taking manchester United in the 2012-13 season as an example, Real Madrid can draw the first place in the group to schalke 04, why did UEFA draw Schalke to Galatasaray?
Yes, this is to ensure the number of strong conversations. Therefore, the three-yin theory is very circular. Either this conspiracy or that conspiracy.
As for Real Madrid in the 2017-18 season, that is, the last season of the Champions League trifecta, in the knockout rounds of Paris, Juventus, Bayern, Liverpool successive final tests, the wise can probably say that this is because UEFA does not want Real Madrid to continue to win, and then affect the attractiveness of the Champions League, so this season's Real Madrid, has become the object of death. Either this conspiracy or that conspiracy.
Of course, the three-yin theory still cannot achieve 100% circumference. Because, Manchester City, as a team that UEFA should absolutely want to die, these years of signing luck are really good.
Except for the two seasons of 2013-14 and 2014-15, who met Barca as the second in the group, Manchester City has been 6 years after, and this year, except for the encounter with Real Madrid once, the rest of the years are absolutely signed. Manchester City is a "financial drug addict", is UEFA the most want to punish the team according to the fiscal fairness policy, or is it an enemy of UEFA's court case, why have they opened the "big gift package" for many years? Is it that UEFA's software has long since broken down?
In stark contrast to Manchester City is another local tycoon, Paris. It is generally believed that Paris has a close relationship with UEFA, and Bein Sports, a subsidiary of the Paris capital, is the Champions League broadcaster and UEFA financier, and UEFA's attitude towards Paris is obviously more tolerant than that of Manchester City when implementing financial fairness, and it is believed that it has condoned some accounts with obvious traces of fraud in Paris. Therefore, although Paris is a local tycoon, it is more appropriate to apply article 1 of the three-yin theory, at least, they are more protected than Manchester City.
But why, in the previous nine years, Paris has signed 67% of the top 16? Moreover, 6 times into the quarterfinals, Paris also 5 times to draw the giants? In comparison, Manchester City reached the quarter-finals five times, but three of them scored a theoretically weaker opponent (Tottenham, Lyon, Borussia Dortmund)? Not very scientific, right?
Is it possible that Real Madrid's 70% winning rate is entirely within a reasonable range of theoretical probabilities? Is it possible that the signing of Manchester City and Paris is more of a matter of luck than the signing of Manchester City? No, the wise men, after entering conspiracy theory mode, did not believe in mathematics and luck.
In fact, the draw in some years has come as a surprise to the wise. For example, in the top 8 of the 2016-17 season, there were 4 non-traditional giants with limited traffic (not necessarily strong, such as Atletico Madrid) in Monaco, Leicester City, Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, but the result of the draw was that these 4 teams were caught and killed, which was equivalent to determining in advance that there must be 2 low-flow teams to enter the final four, leaving Juve to collide with Barca, Bayern and Real Madrid, and the four famous and decent people did not guarantee benefits, and they must die. What conspiracy is this? Is it because UEFA is worried that the four giants will die at the hands of the "weak team", so the top 8 first ensure that the 2 groups of strong dialogue brush enough traffic? The circumference of the three-yin theory is back.
As for the World Preliminary Round play-off draw, Italy and Portugal died at least one, and the wise men said that this was to save one as much as possible for Italy and Portugal, or that FIFA retaliated against the opposition of mainstream European football to the 2-year World Cup, risking the failure of the king of traffic, Cristiano Ronaldo, to teach Europe a lesson, or to persuade Europe to comply.
Even if sometimes, conspiracy theories are really inexplicable, an absolutely 100% comprehensive theory is: occasionally you always have to really smoke, or deliberately draw like you look like a real smoke, and use blindfolds to cover up other conspiracies.
No one will deny that there must be conspiracies in the world. The difference is that intrigue is the conventional way in which the wise men perceive everything. There are too many bad people in the world. In football, not only are the draws mostly fake, but many of the matches are fake. As the lottery industry is in full swing, the gods of all kinds of materials follow their own clues to find and uncover the match-fixing ball. In many lottery colors, there are only 2 results in a game, then, 100 gods found 2 different paths of match-fixing, and in the end, there are always 50 gods who are right.
False, in many forms. In the later period of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United lost consecutively, and the saying of "being a coach" prevailed. Pogba's stupid foul was to do Ole Gunnar Solskjaer by deliberately eating a red card. Maguire was forced to pass at the back and then fouled and expelled, also by deliberately eating red cards to do Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Following this theory, it will be found that When Ronnick took the second game, Nemanja Matic and Van de Beek made any less outrageous mistakes than Magüell and Pogba. So, a player who was appointed captain of the field by Rangnick, and a player who was given a rare starting opportunity by Rangnick, began to do him in Runnick's second game. Wolves' Raul Jimenez was even more excessive, unbelievably begging for two yellows in half a minute, and he wanted to do it crazy.
The wise men who believe in conspiracy theories actually imply a great positive energy: they have a high praise for the professional ability of football practitioners. Footballers rarely make mistakes and make stupid mistakes, only make yin and bad mistakes. UEFA, how can there be a software error? There must be a conspiracy, at least a conspiracy to play bald, play it again. How can a big card with a six-figure weekly salary have low-level mistakes? It must be a match-fixing, it must be a coach. Even if it is a player who has been accustomed to carrying the ball in the backcourt blindly and has repeated mistakes, has been overburdened in recent years, often comes out with injuries, and has been in a very bad state recently, even if this person is questioned by some teammates but supported by the head coach, as long as he has a low-level mistake that may lead to the coach leaving class, he must be a coach.
In this way, Real Madrid and many other famous players have appeared to send players who are not eligible to play and cause the game to lose, which must be a conspiracy of self-directed and self-acting, because they cannot be so stupid. Ball's famous three yellows and one red at the World Cup certainly have an ulterior motive, because england's golden whistle cannot be brainwashed. Gerald unbelievably played for 38 seconds, as well as bizarre return passes and slips, and he must have wanted to do all of Benitez, Erikson and Rogers, because the great British Star could not be forced to be super low-level funny opponents so many times.
Associated with it, what is even more frightening is that the abortion of the European Super League is definitely a fake abortion. Florentino and other european super-bosses, in a superficially funny and stupid way beyond imagination, in the case of completely failing to make various plans, they will throw themselves on the street. No, yes, they certainly didn't have been so stupid, they must have acted out a play.
In a world where the President of the United States can sedit rebellion and the British Government has not wiped the congratulatory message to the president-elect of the United States without wiping away the congratulatory message to the defeated president, only this group of football players is really too smart and too bad.
