There’s no thrill like the thrill of the new…
9.没有新的兴奋点
You’d have to have a heart of stone not to enjoy the way people in America have embraced the World Cup, or to be inspired by Costa Rica toppling three previous winners and then battling on with 10 men to pinch it against Greece. Football is just more exciting when it’s not the same old teams winning all the time. Is it time for the Premier League to introduce some sort of draft system or wealth redistribution to try to level the playing field a bit? Or have we all just accepted that the spending power of the big four or five guarantees their dominance in perpetuity?
你必须铁石心肠,不去喜欢美洲人喜欢世界杯的方式,或者仅仅只是被哥斯达黎加的屌丝逆袭精神所鼓舞(哥斯达黎加三战全胜,凭借10人还击败了希腊)。当传统强队输球,屌丝球队逆袭,足球才展现出了它的魅力。对于英超联赛来说,是时候引进某种新的制度或者通过财富的重新分配来使比赛更加公平的竞争。难道我们是否更愿意接受四五个豪门俱乐部永远统治英超联赛的事实?
