"Sport is sport, and sport should not carry too much pressure from other areas"... In this way, the International Olympic Committee, FIFA and other dignitaries have said many times.
As for the so-called Century-old European media that have emphasized similar views, the list of famous and famous bigwigs who often pride themselves on their authority and objectivity is even more numerous.
But is that really the case? Everybody knows it.
Because of the international situation, many forces that have complicated sports have "shot" at Inter, which will be a difficult problem that the Nerazzurri have to face in the journey of the Serie A champions this season.
A few things have happened recently. None of this is a big deal, but some trends can be seen.
First, there was the incident in which Škriniar was criticized.
Inter's Champions League matchup with Liverpool at Anfield, Shkrinjar was named MVP of the game.
At this time, Shik was criticized for some non-sports reasons.
After the game, After exchanging shirts with the Liverpool players, Šk withdrew shirtless, and a large tattoo on his chest was revealed, which was an artistic painting of Jesus breaking his wrist with the devil.
Unexpectedly, there were many people who called for a long-term ban on Shik because of his religious display on the pitch.
Some celebrities followed suit, forcing Shke to use social networking sites to explain this.
This kind of painting is common in the Western world, and if nothing else, Ibrahimovic has done a similar display not long ago.
But the media has not been unable to live with Ibrahimovic, and now that inter players are involved, the situation is different.
Then there is the controversy over the timing of Inter's Serie A play-offs.
The Nerazzurri match against Bologna was postponed due to a rebound in the pandemic.
With Inter out of the Champions League, the make-up date has reached a point where it must be finalized.
However, the Italian Football Association had to postpone the make-up period by another month and make up the match on April 27.
What's so mysterious about this play-off date?
After the Champions League, Inter will be a weekly match between now and mid-April. This helps the Nerazzurri to play as a team that emphasizes running and is generally aging.
Inter still has one Coppa Italia semi-final second leg left, a Serie A play-off game these two games need to be played in the middle of the week, the Football Association will stagger the timing of these two matches, in the interest of Inter, to put the two games together, it seems to be deliberately to recreate a devil's schedule for Inter.
Now, Inter will have another devil's schedule in April: after playing in the league, three days later on April 21, against ROMA, on the 27th with a Serie A play-off, and three days away to Udinese.
This will pose a higher challenge to Inter's sprint physical fitness.
Third, the Italian media over-interpreted China's suspension of live broadcasts of the Premier League and tried to bring the topic to Inter Milan.
Because of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, China temporarily terminated the Premier League live broadcast.
The starting point for this matter is simple - in Western sports, the management department explicitly stipulates that "political shows on the pitch are opposed", but in fact? The West can display as much as it wants, and even use sports as a weapon to attack the enemy.
But what about people who are not in Europe and the United States, or even those who are bullied by the West? Then kill without mercy.
It is as if the three major social networking sites in the West have always prided themselves on "freedom of speech", but every time the international situation changes, the first thing they will do is to block thousands of "non-European and American accounts" and "unfriendly elements".
This is the double standard.
The reason for the suspension of live broadcasting by relevant Chinese units is very clear: they do not want these so-called "sports people" and actual "display demons" to appear on the screen too much - Chinese fans only want to watch the ball, and they are forced to watch this kind of political show.
However, the Italian media, such as the Corriere della Sera and calcio e finanza, have interpreted the matter too much, believing that China's move is provoking Europe and cooperating with Russia's counter-sanctions.
Introduce the big picture.
Because of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Europe is facing the problem of surging import prices such as energy and grain in the future, and the economic situation is grim.
A large number of floating funds fled, causing the euro to plummet. In recent days, the exchange rate of the renminbi against the euro has continued to rise, which has made all walks of life in Europe very worried, and china has also worn "colored glasses".
As everyone knows, China is not behind the conflict, or the one who fuels the fire.
In this way, those media bigwigs who have long been hostile to Inter naturally "smell the fighters" and try to take the opportunity to attack Inter, after all, inter bosses are Chinese.
Some journalists in Rome and Turin are already talking openly about whether Inter Milan will be like Chelsea if China also faces sanctions one day. As for why the sanctions? It doesn't matter. There is no excuse for the sin of wanting to add.
That could cause Inter a lot of unexpected trouble.
In summary, do not think that after the Inter Champions League is out, the league title is a one-horse flat river.
In fact, because of the current international situation, there are more and more people who do not want to see the Chinese boss lead the team to win the championship.
Don't think that sports are sports, as the senior sports officials in the West say, "as simple as snow."
In fact, there are not a few people who want to use sports to achieve ulterior motives.
The more this situation is, the more meaningful inter sprint championships will be. We have always called for sports to be sport, that it should not be so complex and should not become a tool for people with ulterior motives. If there is a non-sports "black hand" to attack, Inter can only use pure sports efforts to fight back, will be forced to shoulder the mission of "decomplicating" sports.
This kind of struggle will be more meaningful.
