How can this be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meeting ended, Martivonni’s assistant was still in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen such unanimity within the Italian Football Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though... this was a great opportunity to clear Italy’s name, even if those setting up obstacles would be scorned, surely there should be a few abstentions, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Martivonni’s competitors, they definitely shouldn’t have all voted in favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not a matter of right or wrong, but whether it’s possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can’t!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the phrase unanimous decision holds special meaning in any multi-faction group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means that this time the leader has conquered everyone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has received total support!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He no longer has... competitors!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, that’s the message conveyed by this meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This will elevate Martivonni’s prestige to unprecedented heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, it will drastically reduce the external public opinion and support for his competitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is tantamount to cutting off one’s own arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opposition hasn’t given up on competing with Martivonni.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the third force within the Italian Football Association is rising, attempting to make a big move, launching a counterattack against the first and second groups within the Italian Football Association when they fail in the European Cup playoffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given all this, how could there be a unanimous approval?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Martivonni was not surprised by this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He figured it out last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also an important reason he was willing to take the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the blueprint drawn by Lu for him seemed like a revival of Italy’s football glory but at the same time... it cleared the clouds ahead of Martivonni, letting him see a new peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m stepping up this time to confront UEFA, so they’re naturally happy to push me out,\" Martivonni explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter the outcome, the consequences of offending UEFA are severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FIFA and UEFA, these two \"non-profit\" entities are like rulers over football.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quotes naturally imply sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No football association of any country can go head-to-head with them because they are subordinate, although there are exceptions like the National Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the powerful VAR, what Martivonni might achieve is simply UEFA’s concession this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But conversely, UEFA has countless opportunities to make things difficult for Martivonni.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The simplest and most immediate would be in the upcoming European Cup playoffs, sending a more astute main referee to be troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are too many such opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, UEFA has a huge influence on the Italian Football Association’s change of leadership, as long as they don’t like Martivonni, he will find it very difficult to be re-elected unless he defies the odds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is why Martivonni’s opponents are willing to let him be the pioneer leader this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because once this leader takes the lead, downfall won’t be far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!

San Remo’s second appeal outcome will be far worse than the first.
