Chapter 986: Spare Tire Alliance
"Young Master Huan, congratulations, congratulations!"
"A glass to you, Young Master Huan!"
"Come, Young Master Huan, let's have a drink!"
In the UEFA gathering, Yang Huan completely became the focus of the most attention at the venue.
It's no surprise that the Saints were the brightest team tonight.
You must know that usually this role is often played by super giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, but now, all the strikers have been snatched away by Southampton, which makes everyone in European football deeply feel what is called feng shui turns.
Yang Huan is also in a good mood, almost everyone who clinks glasses to him, he has to make a toast, and he will not refuse.
Who made him not drunk with a thousand cups?
"Young Master Huan!"
UEFA President Michel Platini and his right-hand man Gianni Infantino walked over.
"Cheers!" Yang Huan smiled and clinked glasses with the two of them, and drank them all.
The three of them all tacitly walked out of the crowd and walked to a window where no one was around.
"How? Having trouble lately? Yang Huan asked Platini with concern.
The latter's face was solemn and nodded, "The situation is not good for me." ”
"Is there anything I need help with?" Yang Huan asked.
Platini looked at Gianni Infantino, "Gianni will next run for UEFA. ”
Yang Huan looked at Infantino and nodded: "This is very good, I believe that Gianni will come forward and have a very good chance of being elected." ”
"But then we're going to do our best to get rid of him."
Yang Huan nodded and said: "That's right, I believe that with Gianni's resume and ability, if he doesn't show his flaws, with the full support of UEFA, his hope is very great." ”
Gianni Infantino is a veritable Platini diehard, and before Platini had an accident, he even shouted that as long as Platini was fine, he would withdraw immediately.
But in the current situation, it seems that Platini should be difficult to survive, if UEFA's Infantino can be successfully elected at this time, it will be a victory for UEFA and Platini.
"If there's anything I can do to help, contact Peter." Yang Huan said with a smile.
"Thank you!" Both Platini and Infantino knew it.
Peter Kenyon, Yang Huan's number one player, and now the CEO of Miracle Football Group, has an amazing amount of European football resources in his hands, and more importantly, it is still developing at a rapid pace.
There have even been faint signs of taking over the center of power recently.
What's more, Peter Kenyon and Platini had a very close personal relationship.
Many people don't know that they think that European professional football is as prosperous as they see on the surface, but they have never thought about what kind of interest entanglements are hidden under this prosperity.
Has it been so many years that no one has ever wondered why Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich have always been able to poach superstars? Is it just because they have money? Matter?
One thing to be clear here is that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich's supremacy in European football, as well as their astonishing influence, are all based on stars.
It was the stars and achievements that led to their current status.
If you don't believe me, then look at Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, AC Milan in Serie A, and Juventus in the early years.
As the saying goes, the phoenix that lands is not as good as a chicken.
When a giant team loses its brightest star and loses the halo of results, is it still a giant?
Heritage, tradition and feelings, are they useful?
Barcelona's situation is special, the top stars of this team are all produced by their own academy, but this is only a special case, and this team has gradually adopted the method of poaching superstars after the youth training of this team, bringing in Neymar, and also wanting to poach Suarez, which is enough to prove this.
Therefore, Yang Huan said from the beginning that talent is the key!
So the question is, since talent is so important, what about top star resources? With this shortage, why is it concentrated in the hands of a few teams? Why don't other teams dare to dig when they have money?
As for saying that the stars are reluctant to transfer, want to play for the big teams, etc., don't be funny.
Making money is what professional players are all about!
There is only one purpose for staying in the big team, and that is to make more money.
Want to get a personal accolade? Can that make money?
After retiring, there are more down-and-out stars who sell gold medals and trophies!
If Bailey hadn't had Nike take a fancy to his business value and focus on building him, he wouldn't know how poor he would have been now.
Isn't there anything to be said about the end of Real Madrid's former great star Puskas?
All talking about feelings, traditions, and feelings with professional football is playing the piano to the cow!
At the end of the day, professional football is all about two words, profit!
If Paris Saint-Germain offers Cristiano Ronaldo twice his income in Real Madrid, Yang Huan dares to guarantee that the Portuguese will immediately leave without saying a word.
Can't PSG afford the money?
No, they wanted to come out a long time ago, but Real Madrid doesn't sell, they don't dare to dig hard, and the players and agents don't dare to go too far!
It's that simple!
So, now, the answer is coming out, the reason why they can control so many stars is because they have the biggest say in European football, at least in the category of clubs!
Perhaps there will be many veteran fans who remember an organization, G14.
Although the name is G14, there are actually eighteen teams, because it has since been expanded.
This organization represents the highest voice of professional football clubs in Europe, and they are like the top of the highest pyramid, and if they want to join this organization, they must win a Champions League and at the same time have to be voted on by the members of the organization.
Have you noticed that this is a bit like when China was about to join the TO?
Peter Kenyon was the founder of the organisation when he was at Manchester United and later served as its rotating chairman.
The reason why Abramovich selected Peter Kenyon was because he took a fancy to his connections at the top of European football, so he did everything possible to poach him from Manchester United to Chelsea.
The aim is simple, Chelsea want to be recognised by the big teams at the top of the pyramid and fit in.
But as it turned out, Chelsea failed.
However, Peter Kenyon has taken a different path with his connections in European football.
That is Platini, the newly appointed president of UEFA, who came to power thanks to the votes of many small national football associations.
The latter wanted to make good on his campaign promises, so he had to undermine the interests of the big clubs, and Platini's approach at the time was to co-opt a group of European teams, including Chelsea, who had good strength and influence, but were excluded by the G14.
At the same time, Platini is also dividing the G14 organization, giving many commitments and policies, such as subsidizing clubs for national team events, reforming the Champions League places and qualifications of the five major leagues, and so on.
The final result was known to all, and the G14 split internally and announced its disbandment.
But what many people don't know is that at the same time as the G14 announced its disbandment, a brand new organization called the European Club Association, as the only official organization recognized by UEFA and FIFA, was announced.
From the day of its birth to the present, there has always been only one chairman of the Executive Committee who represents the highest power, Bayern Munich's Rummenigge and Chelsea's Peter Kenyon are one of the first three vice-presidents.
To use a conspiracy theory, in 2008, the European Club Association was founded, with Bayern Munich as one of the 16 founding clubs, and Rummenigge as chairman of the executive committee.
So when did Bayern Munich start to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona?
Of course, player transfers are quite a test of the club's ability to select talents, but in European football, in the era of such transparent information, this is no longer the most important thing.
The most important thing is to be able to buy people!
It's like this time, Bayern Munich wants to buy Douglas Costa and Kingsley Koeman of Hamburg, and Hamburg won't sell, so what can Bayern Munich do?
They couldn't do anything but dig up Firmino and Draxler.
In the past few years, Premier League teams have bought a number of established teams, including Peter Kenyon and Arsenal's David Dunn, and Manchester United's David Gill, with a group of talented people who once had extensive connections in European football gradually withdrawing and replacing them with professional managers like Ed Woodward and Gazidis.
Chelsea fired Peter Kenyon first, and then Ron Gulley, and replaced him with Granovskia, who had little connections at all.
This has greatly weakened the voice of the Premier League at the heart of European football.
The European Club Association divides its internal membership into two main groups, full members and informal members.
The former is made up of voting rights, while the latter is not, and is more akin to the feeling of a reserve team.
The European Club Association is responsible for the day-to-day running and affairs of the European Club Association, which is made up of 15 teams.
The Premier League is also a very special presence in the European Club Association, with a total of six full member teams, which is beyond the statutes of the European Club Association.
The six teams are Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Arsenal's Gazidis is also a member of the executive committee of the European Club Association, but he acts as legal adviser.
There are also three non-regular members, namely Aston Villa, Everton and Newcastle.
Interestingly, Southampton is not even a regular member right now.
Previously, many people suggested that the Saints apply to join the European Club Association, starting as an unregular member and then looking for an opportunity to become regular.
But the attitude given by Yang Huan is very clear and not uncommon!
Isn't it?
What's so great about being an associate member?
The European Club Association covers more than 200 European clubs, of which only half are full members, and the rest are informal.
When will it turn positive?
Don't you have to look at the faces of the male gods?
The crux of the problem is that they only have the right to observe, let alone vote, and they don't even have the right to speak.
Besides, does the participation of such an organization have any impact on the saints?
With Young Master Huan's connections in European football, what are you afraid of?
Oh, by the way, it seems that it is time for the European Club Association to change again, and the president and 11 members of the executive committee of the 15th Party Congress will be elected in the near future.
Not to mention, as soon as Cao Cao is mentioned, Cao Cao will arrive.
As soon as Young Master Huan mentioned the European Club Association, the president, Rummenigge, was watching from the sidelines, and it seemed that he was about to rush to the scene as soon as he had the opportunity.
Platini and Infantino also noticed him, so they confessed and took their leave.
As soon as the two of them left, Rummenigge immediately came to him.
Young Master Huan was happy, hehe, you finally found the **** by yourself!
Master Ben has been waiting for you for a long time!
