布拉特曝歐足聯抽籤作弊 小球有溫差,結果早內定!

Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter has sensationally claimed he witnessed a draw for a European competition being rigged.

國際足聯前主席塞普·布拉特近日表示，他曾親眼目睹歐洲足球比賽以一種抽籤的方式作弊。

The 80-year-old refused to say which tournament it was, but revealed the balls containing the names of teams were either heated or cooled to help identify them.

這位80歲的老人拒絕透露這是哪場比賽，但是卻透露，包含球隊名字的小球或被加熱或被冷卻，以幫助識別。

In the interview with Argentine publication La Nacion, Blatter also claimed only one team had ever successfully benefited from such "cheating".

在接受阿根廷《民族報》採訪時，布拉特還聲稱，只有一支球隊曾經成功地從這樣的“欺騙”中獲益。

"You can mark them by heating them or cooling them. You put the balls in the refrigerator beforehand. Just by comparing one and the other when you touch them you can tell the cold balls from the hot," Blatter elaborated.

布拉特解釋道：“你可以通過加熱或冷凍它們來做標記。事先將球放進冰箱。當觸摸它們時，只要進行比較，就能區分出冷球和熱球。”

Blatter said no draw for a FIFA event had been fixed during his 18 years at the helm of world football's governing body, but said he had seen it done for European competitions.

布拉特表示，在他掌管國際足聯的18年裏，這一世界足球管理機構下的任何一項賽事的抽籤都沒有被操控過，但是他曾在歐洲的賽事裏見過這種作弊方式。

"I never touched the balls," said Blatter, referring to the plastic balls containing the teams' names that are used in supposedly random draws for events like the World Cup or Champions League.

布拉特說：“我從未碰過那些球。”這些球指的是世界盃或歐洲冠軍聯賽等賽事，在所謂的隨機抽籤中使用的帶有參賽隊伍名字的塑料球。
