"Young Master Huan, how did you talk to Rummenigge?"

Rummenigge had just walked on the front foot, and Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley walked on the back foot.

The former smiled and talked to Rummenigge, who passed by, but the latter was obviously lacking in interest.

"I don't think his face is very good, didn't he talk about it?" Ron Gurley also asked.

Yang Huan pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders, raised the wine glass in his hand, and leaned over.

The two people on the opposite side immediately raised their glasses in understanding, and with two clangs, all three of them laughed.

"I flipped the hole cards with him just now, and he said that he was willing to do his best to help us fight for it, but he didn't dare to guarantee it."

Peter Kenyon chuckled, "Of course he can't guarantee it, I've received the news that Juventus' Agnelli is also interested in this position, you know, they have always been willing to invest in this area. ”

Yang Huan nodded, Juventus has always been a powerful figure in European football.

Among the members of the G14 organization that year, Juventus, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Lyon in Ligue 1 were all very eager to have a voice.

It's just that Manchester United was acquired by the Glazer family after Peter Kenyon jumped ship, and David Gill left, the talent withered, and gradually became a little weaker.

And Arsenal are even more so.

Since David Dunn's departure, the Gunners haven't been on the rise.

Not to mention anything else, Cesc Fabregas has been hooked up with Barcelona for so many years, if David Dunn was here, Arsenal would have been in color a long time ago, and Barcelona would not dare to do it so blatantly.

Now, everyone knows that Arsenal has long been a strong outsider.

At the end of the day, if you want to mix in European football, you have to rely on connections and resources.

"After Agnelli joined the Bianconeri, Juventus has always wanted to regain the pinnacle status and influence of the former Bianconeri in European football, so as soon as he took over the Bianconeri, he immediately kicked Inter Milan and entered the European Club Association as an executive committee, and now, naturally, he wants to go further."

When Yang Huan said this, his eyes narrowed, "But he was unlucky to meet me!" ”

Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley looked at each other and laughed.

At the beginning, it was Peter Kenyon who mentioned to Yang Huan about the European Club Association, and also talked about some secrets about the G14 organization, his purpose was to make Yang Huan understand that European football is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Behind a football game, there are countless competing interests, as well as a struggle for power.

The big teams desperately want to protect their interests and fight for more power, while the middle and lower teams, especially some teams with capital, desperately want to rise and have more say.

How can there be no conflict of interest?

According to Peter Kenyon's original plan, if the Saints want to rise, they should find a way to enter the First Army.

And if you want to enter the First Army, it is definitely not enough to have results alone.

So, what Peter Kenyon means is to get into the European Club Association and then find a way to get into the executive committee.

But after Yang Huan listened to Peter Kenyon's idea, he felt that this was not the right way.

Why?

It's like Chelsea.

Chelsea's choice of UEFA and Platini led to the fall apart of the G14, but the result?

With the establishment of the European Club Association, Chelsea also had little say in the organisation.

Chelsea, PSV Eindhoven, Vitesse and CSKA Moscow are all members of this group, and CSKA Moscow is one of the executive committees, but how much say do they have?

The answer is, not much!

The traditional giants such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona and AC Milan still hold the power and have the most decision-making power.

Isn't that the recent initiative by Rummenigge and Juventus' Agnelli to help revive traditional giants like AC Milan?

Therefore, according to Yang Huan's meaning, even if Southampton enters the European Club Association, it will only end up being like Manchester City, Chelsea and other teams, and will eventually be reduced to a subsidiary and supporting role.

Even if the Saints get a little power after fighting for it, it is just a little bit that slips out of the fingers of the big team, and compared with the compromise paid by the Saints, the gain is seriously disproportionate.

Therefore, Yang Huan specially studied the constitution and rules of the European Club Association and formulated a set of plans.

Yang Huan's acquisition of these teams was strictly selected, not just to surround the countryside with the city in the European Club Association, but also because these teams do have great potential.

Now, Peter Kenyon is actively running these teams to run for the executive committee, and if he gets six seats, then Yang Huan will have the largest veto power in the club's highest power organization.

And then ...... Well, Young Master Huan can be his hooligan with peace of mind!

Of course, since it is out to run, there is a risk, Yang Huan has also made enough psychological preparations for the inability of all six teams to enter the executive committee this year, it doesn't matter, it will be re-elected in two years, and even the four places in the European Strategy Committee will be elected at that time.

In other words, Yang Huan is also ready to fight a protracted battle!

The reason why he dared to be so confident was because he knew that it was impossible for the European giants to lift the table.

If the stage is lifted, then everyone will be finished together.

"Young Master Huan, who are you going to arrange for to join the UEFA Executive Committee?" Peter Kenyon asked with concern.

Since Rummenigge said that he would do his best to help, as long as they put a little more effort, they should be nine times out of ten.

So, a lot of things, Peter Kenyon had to arrange as early as possible.

Yang Huan looked at Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley, shook his head and smiled: "Originally, Peter, it is most appropriate for you to go, but you have to control the overall situation now, Ron is now the CEO of Southampton, it is impossible." ”

There is a good saying that politicians should both be xx and establish xx.

If the Saints immediately become members of the executive committee as soon as they enter the European Club Association, and then immediately enter UEFA as an executive committee, this kind of one-step drama is indeed too much, and everyone knows that there is a lot of tricks.

So, this kind of thing can't be done too obviously.

If it's cheap, don't think about selling it!

Peter Kenyon nodded, "Yes, from the current situation, although Ajax's Van der Sar used to be a professional player, he is not qualified enough in this area to control the situation, and neither can Michael Bolingbroke of Monaco, his connections in European football are still very young." ”

"Originally, the most suitable candidate should be Atletico Madrid's Soriano, but ......"

Soriano was Barcelona's vice-president for five years and served as interim CEO, and he has excellent connections in European football, but Atletico Madrid is in La Liga.

La Liga also has five teams that are full members of the European Club Association, but Barcelona are already one of four teams on UEFA's strategy committee, and Real Madrid are also running for a change this time.

So, at the beginning, during the discussion within the Miracle Football Group, it was unanimously agreed that Soriano should not come forward to run.

Because the executive committee has fifteen places, it is impossible to give three places to La Liga in one go.

If Atletico Madrid comes forward to run, it will certainly not be a good thing to immediately play against Real Madrid.

Winning or losing is unknown, and the key is that it will greatly damage the relationship with Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid can't make it to the executive committee, and Soriano certainly can't be a UEFA executive committee.

Then the choice comes and goes, and in the end, the most suitable person is left.

"Inter Milan's Marco Fasone!"

After listening to Peter Kenyon's conclusion, Yang Huan nodded, "It can only be him!" ”

With Peter Kenyon and Soriano, Fasone is certainly not the best candidate, but he is the most suitable right now.

According to Yang Huan's plan, Soriano will next run for the UEFA Strategy Committee, get one of the places, and enter the executive committee of the European Club Association in this way.

But in two years!

"Fasone has done a very good job in recent years, whether it is at Juventus, Napoli or Inter Milan, especially in terms of commercial development, and I believe he should be able to do it."

Peter Kenyon clearly has a lot of faith in Faso.

Yang Huan's teams generally attach great importance to commercial development, not to mention Southampton, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid both opened new stadiums this summer, and both teams have done a very good job in commercial development.

But in general, Faso has a stronger business function, and Soriano has a better team management and a better network of contacts in football, each with its own strengths.

At Inter, Blanca and Osilio are experts in football, and it has proved to be a good choice for them to complement Faso.

"But ......" Yang Huan laughed after hearing it, "It is estimated that by then, Juventus and AC Milan will be crying!" ”

Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley also laughed.

Isn't it?

If the seat on the UEFA executive committee is taken away by Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri will become famous, and their status in Serie A and European football will immediately rise.

"However, Young Master Huan, the worst should be the traditional giants such as Rummenigge, they desperately poached the power from the European Football Team, but in the end they had to take the initiative to spit it out, they are indeed bitter enough!"

Yang Huan smiled, "That's because they still underestimate the power of capital!" ”

As Yang Huan said, this world is very realistic.

When the club has developed to a certain extent, they want to extract more benefits and power from the UEFA team, so the G14 organization came into being, and the traditional giants are the expression of this strength.

However, with the influx of capital, the teams of capital gradually craved more profit and power, so the G14 organization fell apart and the European Club Association came into being.

If in the past few years, the capital forces represented by Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and other teams still have to succumb to the traditional giants in the European club associations, and even be gradually controlled, then Yang Huan's sudden rise has undoubtedly injected a new vitality into the power of capital.

Young Master Huan, who has never played cards according to the rules of cards, if he really gets his wish, he will inevitably be supported by all capital teams.

If the traditional giants can throw the group of UEFA wine bags out of a few streets in terms of playing professional football, then the capital with elite talents and professional management as the core also has the level of killing the traditional giants in seconds.

This time, the Saints were able to carry out their plan without a hitch!
