Football: I Founded a Tournament That Surpassed the Champions League
Ronaldinho once said, "I learned about life with a ball at my feet."
As for Cristiano Ronaldo, he said, "Without football, my life is worth nothing."
Many people consider football their everything, their aspiration, their dream, their life. But unfortunately, for others, football is nothing more than a means for politics, a tool, and so on.
Throughout the long history of football, what kind of scandal hasn't happened?
The rigged Korean World Cup, the corruption within FIFA, match-fixing scandals, doping controversies, and even political interference have all tainted the beautiful game at various points in its history.
Looking at the Italian fans who were crying, some fainting, some players collapsing because they knew this might be their last World Cup, Leon Carter's heart was completely broken. They had worked so hard to reach this stage, only to lose unjustly.
Leon was a former football prodigy and Balloon d'Or winner, but his career ended due to injury at the age of 24. Because of his love for the sport, he turned to sports entrepreneurship and football analysis. He studied business and investments, gaining more influence in football circles.
He felt that whether it was UEFA or FIFA, they were ruining football, ruining an event that held a place in millions of people's hearts. Unfortunately, he could do nothing but watch them make more money, witness countless injustices, and see lives being ruined.
However, fate had other plans for Leon Carter.
After watching the heartbreak of Italian fans following their controversial elimination from the World Cup, Leon found himself lost in thought. The game he once loved was no longer about passion, it was about power, greed, and corruption.
But just as he clenched his fists in frustration, a voice spoke in his mind.
