On March 8, Beijing time, FIFA issued a special passage announcing the termination of contracts for all foreign players and coaches of football clubs under the Russian and Ukrainian Football Associations. In other words, fifa ignores the professionalism and compliance with the principles of contract emphasized by Europeans and Americans, and all foreign employees can leave the team directly without any responsibility.
It should be known that what has always been proud of in European football is the so-called professional operation, standardized management and contract spirit, but under a large-scale double-standard certification event, including UEFA and FIFA, they have taken sides, actively implicated sports in the so-called political field, and linked the two.
In the official notice of FIFA, it is clearly stated that the original intention of this time is to deal with the ongoing uneasy humanitarian crisis caused by the Russian-Ukrainian problem, and after consultations between UEFA and other stakeholders, in order to ensure that Ukrainian players and coaches can work smoothly and receive salaries, this decision is hereby made, and players can sign with other clubs freely without bearing any consequences.
Although it seems to protect the personal interests of the players, if considered from the perspective of the club, it is undoubtedly a robbery of Ukrainian and Russian teams. Because the club spent a huge transfer fee and development fee to get a professional player, but the unanimous passage may cause the team to lose multiple players, not only affecting the competitiveness of the club, but also causing serious economic losses, and UEFA and FIFA do not intend to compensate for this.
The double standard behavior of FIFA and UEFA reminds people of the two-time world footballer Lewandowski's statement on the situation in Russia and Ukraine, a player who has been silent recently not only unilaterally terminated Huawei, but also frequently made remarks in support of Ukraine, mixing football and politics, and calling for a boycott of the World Preliminary Tournament with Russia. For a moment, it was not known whether he was out of justice or whether he wanted to kick out Russia so that Poland could qualify for the World Cup.
Because in the previous Golden Globe Awards selection, this outstanding athlete had called for the Golden Globe Awards to look at the performance on the field and try not to participate in politics.
In less than a year, a player who once called for sports not to participate in politics turned around and involved politics in sports, and the inconsistent statements not only smeared themselves, but also erased the dream of Russian players participating in the World Cup, and even deeply persecuted Russian athletes.
We have always known that Europeans and Americans like double standards, but we did not expect that they would be so faceless, preferring to punch themselves in the face and implement their so-called "standards", even people's cats did not let go.
