I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 611 First Encounter with Little Ma

The game begins again!
The score of 8-0 made everyone think the game was over.

However, no one expected that when the game reached 89 minutes and 34 seconds, Vieira's seemingly casual long-range shot from outside the penalty area deflected off a South Korean player inside the penalty area and flew into the goal once again.

9: 0!

The Koreans have completely collapsed.

This is the first time since the 1954 World Cup that South Korea has experienced a 9-0 scoreline.

However, in 1954, Hungary defeated South Korea 9-0.

Since then, only in the 1982 match between Hungary and El Salvador did the scoreline surpass the number of goals conceded by South Korea, with a score of 10-1.

No one expected that, after 52 years, the Koreans would once again experience a 9-0 score.

Koreans have gone mad!
After the restart, they no longer cared where the ball was and started heading towards the French players.

I can't lift the ball, I'll kick people!
Thinking about it, it does seem to fit the habits of Koreans quite well.

However, the experienced referee noticed that the Koreans' mentality had completely collapsed after they threw the first pitch.

So, immediately after a shot by a South Korean player, he blew the whistle to end the game.

Logically speaking, the match did not go smoothly, with multiple interruptions.

The fourth referee gave six minutes of added time.

However, the referee didn't give any added time, and the game ended in 90 minutes.

He was also worried that, given the current mindset of the Koreans and the current form of the French, if six minutes of added time were added, they could potentially create an astonishing score. Although, the current score of 9-0 is already quite impressive.

But the Koreans don't care about any of that.

They haven't vented yet!

They charged at the referee like madmen, attempting to swarm him.

Fortunately, the French players arrived in time, and the stadium security guards also rushed over to escort the referee away in a disheveled state.

In the stands, South Korean fans were screaming wildly, "Black whistle!"
But it was too late.

The match is over!

The South Korean players tried to gang up on the French players, but the French players saw through their intentions. As security personnel escorted the referee away, the entire French team quickly left the field, leaving the South Koreans helplessly furious on the field.

"Don't rush to leave, everyone!"

Liu Jin stood up and stopped the crowd.

"I have a feeling these Koreans might cause trouble... It's best to stay a little longer, otherwise it could be dangerous."

He then left the box and went to the next box where French Ministry of Culture officials were, reminding them to be careful.

However, when Liu Jin entered the private room, he discovered that it was full of important figures.

French Sports Minister Jean-François Lamour and Culture Minister Christine Albanelle were both present.

Liu Jin is quite familiar with Albanell.

Although France doesn't have the concept of a direct superior, it's essentially the same idea.

Previously, Albanell's secretary had been in contact with Liu Jin.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

It's a French team match, so even if Chirac were here, he wouldn't find it strange.

What truly surprised him was a young man in the private room.

He looks to be in his early twenties.

It is very different from the image I remember.

He looks a bit green, but is very handsome.

He stood behind a short, stout old man with a round face, his posture quite respectful.

But no one could have imagined that in less than ten years, this young man would become the President of France.

Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron!
At this time, he was just an ordinary financial inspector at the Ministry of Finance, who had no other talents besides being handsome.

The short, stout, round-faced old man standing in front of him is Jean-Pierre Jouyet, the French Inspector General of Finance.

"Minister Albanell, I sensed something was off with the Koreans' emotions just now."

Therefore, I'm advising everyone not to rush to leave the private room.

It's best to wait for notification from the German police before leaving... Those Koreans are desperate; they'll probably do anything."

Albanell smiled and thanked him.

At the same time, Liu Jin's gaze fell on the old man next to Inspector Zhu Ye.

"Professor Atali?"

The old man was startled and looked up at Liu Jin.

Liu Jin hurriedly said, "I was a student in the 2000 ESC TOULOUSE international class. In October 2001, you gave a lecture at our school, and I was fortunate enough to attend your class."

"Are you a student at ESC TOULOUSE?"
I'm sorry, I know you're an excellent writer, but...

Where do you work now?

“I’m still a student, pursuing my doctorate at the Faculty of Arts at the University of Toulouse II.”

"That's it..."

Professor Atali seemed to have lost interest in communicating with Liu Jin.

Professor Attali, full name Jacques Attali.

A renowned French political and economic scholar and political commentator, he was once selected as one of the world's 100 top thinkers.

He was a special advisor to President Mitterrand.

In 1990, he founded the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and served as its first president.

He is also the founder of the French Prefon Association, a non-profit microfinance organization.

Jews!
In 2007, Sarkozy became the President of France.

At the invitation of Sarkozy, Jacques Attali, as an economist and strategic analyst, formed and led the 'Special Committee for Enhancing French Economic Growth', also known as the 'Attali Committee'.

Sarkozy hoped the committee could provide a comprehensive economic reform plan. After a year of investigation and research, the committee provided more than 300 reform proposals, but ultimately, after the economic crisis of 2008, France and the EU were plunged into a quagmire of negative economic growth, from which they have struggled ever since.

Liu Jin noticed Atali's coldness and disdain towards him.

But he didn't care.

If you've read his 2004 publication, "The 21st Century Dictionary," you'll know who he is.

He pioneered a illusory and unrealistic path of development for Europe, much like the Chicago School of Economics in the 1980s.

But he has a very good reputation.

This will also be true in China in the future.

Many of his views will make Chinese people feel very close to him.

For example, in his 2010 book "The Bankruptcy of the Nation," he wrote: Chinese people earning less than 1000 euros a month are using their hard-earned money to support Americans who earn ten times more than them...

Isn't that correct?

Does this make you feel that he is an upright person?
Furthermore, regarding the European sovereign debt crisis, he once suggested issuing European government bonds.

The world has become Madoff-ized; you use other people's money to pay off your debts, and when they ask for their money back, you borrow from elsewhere to pay them back. Thus, Europe will become the best creditor for every country…

Doesn't that sound correct?
There are many such statements.

On the surface, it appears to be for the benefit of Europe and China...

But please note that he is American!

Do you think an American would really care about the fate of Europe and China?
There is a saying in China: "Judging by actions, not intentions."

I don't care what you say, I just want to see what you do.

Attali's three hundred suggestions were like three hundred ineffective prescriptions for France.

Macron's rise to power was also supported by the Attali Committee. After Macron came to power, almost all of his policy developments were based on the 300 recommendations that the Attali Committee provided to Sarkozy in 2008.

……

Chinese people have a very bad habit.

This situation did not exist during the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties.

But later, I don't know how it happened...

Foreigners, regardless of their race, social status, or wealth, will be treated with utmost sincerity by Chinese people as long as they are spoken to kindly, as if they were special friends! Of course, there is also the nonsense from the media.

For example, when a certain Huang came to China and declared "I am Chinese," the media were incredibly excited.

However, in foreign contexts, "Chinese" does not only refer to people from China, but more often means "Chinese people".

To be precise, what Huang said should be translated as "I am Chinese." He is American, so how could he say that he is Chinese?

But the media just translates it literally: I am Chinese.

Then, the Chinese people thought, this guy is a good person...

Yes, they're pretty much the same!
To be honest, if Liu Jin hadn't been reborn, he might actually have felt favorably toward Atali.

But now...

He paid no attention to Attali, but focused more on Little Ma, who stood like a lackey.

This guy really does have the face of someone who'd live off a woman!
Even Liu Jin, a man, thought this guy was really handsome.

After exchanging a few words with Albanell, Liu Jin left the private room.

Before leaving, Minister Albanell asked Little Ma to see Liu Jin out.

Little Ma is two years younger than Lau Chun, born in 1977.

At the entrance of the private room, he exchanged phone numbers with Liu Jin and said with a smile that he looked forward to the release of Liu Jin's new work...

Liu Jin also expressed his gratitude!
……

Just as Liu Jin had predicted, the South Korean fans indeed lost control.

After the game ended, as fans were leaving the stadium, South Korean fans suddenly attacked French fans who were leaving in an orderly manner.

In fact, the French had also noticed this.

Therefore, after the game, they did not continue to provoke or provoke the Koreans.

But when South Koreans are truly blinded by defeat, they don't care whether you provoke them or not.

All they knew was that these Frenchmen made that classic gesture at them, and the French team beat them 9-0.
Thus, a massive conflict erupted.

About three hundred Koreans surrounded more than one hundred Frenchmen.

Leipzig police also noticed the situation and tried to rush over to stop them.

However, even more Koreans stopped them!

At this time, riot police were still maintaining order inside the stadium, resulting in a huge shortage of police force outside the stadium.

Thousands of Koreans participated in the conflict.

Although only a few hundred people were involved in the attack, many South Koreans intentionally or unintentionally blocked the police, preventing them from arriving in time to stop the attack.

If they were Russians, even if there were only a few dozen of them, they would dare to fight against hundreds of Koreans.

But the French...

Liu Jin and the others watched the conflict from inside the private room.

It lasted for about twenty minutes, and the Frenchmen fled in panic, not daring to resist at all.

In fact, even if they resist, there will be a steady stream of French people coming out of the stadium.

But they did not resist; they simply fled in disarray, causing the later French to follow suit and flee in all directions, creating chaos.

Sophie Marceau, unable to contain her heat, swore out loud in the private room.

Ozon even launched into a tirade of profanities!

Mela and Chloe also looked dissatisfied.

Liu Tianxian stared at the horrific scene on the television screen, her mouth agape, utterly at a loss for words!
They really are French...
