Some people say that the national team competitions in European football are always based on a four-year cycle, and every two years as a small cycle.

We're talking about the World Cup and the European Championships.

Since the successful bid for the 2006 World Cup, Germany has started the final preparations for the World Cup one or two years in advance, not only from the venues, various supporting hardware facilities, but also from the sponsors to negotiate and sign contracts.

The shrewd FIFA has already figured out a whole set of stadium operation systems, and they have divided the sponsors into two categories, one is called the official partners, which occupy a total of households, and the other is the official suppliers, six.

However, if the official partner is to be subdivided from the scope of responsibilities and authorization, it can be divided into three levels, FIFA partners, World Cup sponsors, and sponsors of the host country, according to the name, it can be seen that the first must sponsor two World Cups in one go, and obtain a sponsorship time limit of 8 years, which is exclusive, and the second is only, the World Cup, also has exclusivity, and the last one can only be publicized in the host country, so it must be the host country's own enterprises.

Two weeks ago, Yang Cheng received an invitation from the German Football Association to attend the World Cup Sponsors' Gala at the Said Hotel in Hamburg.

The organizer of this party is the German Football Association, but all the World Cup sponsors are invited, in order to better achieve good cooperation during the World Cup, so the sponsors also attach great importance to this, and FIFA Lord "Set sail without watermark" Schisblatt and others will also participate in person, which shows the importance of this party.

Heidi, Krum's model company headquarters is in Hamburg, where she is the head of the land, so she has already helped Yang Cheng book a hotel on the shores of Lake Nealster, the location is near the Said Hotel, but the location is better, with a view of the lake.

Yang Cheng arrived in Hamburg in the afternoon, and went directly to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes without informing anyone, and then Shi Shiran walked straight to the Side Hotel.

"It's so miserable to walk?"

When he was about to arrive at the door of the hotel, Yang Cheng saw an Audi parked next to him, and Gran Nack got out of the car.

Yang Cheng smiled, "No way, I can't afford to pay for air tickets and taxis, so I walked from Liverpool." ”

Gran, Nack also smiled and told the driver to go by himself, and he followed Yang Cheng to the gate of the hotel.

"Seeing that you are so poor, do you want to make some extra money?" Gran, Nack asked with a smile.

Yang Cheng pulled the suit on his body, "I only sell my art, not my body!" ”

"you!" Grant Yock didn't know that this guy was full of lewd "Set sail without watermarks", but he was still amused.

"To be serious, the editor-in-chief of Bild asked you to ask you, and they want you to open a column in their newspaper before and after the World Cup, and they are willing to pay you a fee and get paid for every word you write."

Gran, after Nack said, shook his head, "Even you who are the main coach have to come to compete with us little reporters, I'm afraid we won't have to mix in the future." ”

Yang Cheng scolded with a smile, if this guy is a young reporter, then the vast majority of football reporters in Europe should go to drink the northwest wind.

"I may not be available when I think about it!" Yang Cheng said.

"If you really want to think about it, you can watch the game at public expense, the newspaper provides free tickets for the press box, there is no limit to watching the game, you can choose according to your own preferences, that is, take the time to write a few words, such benefits are rare!" Gran, Nack is really a little envious, and the price given by Bild is not low.

However, there is no way that Yang Cheng's current worth is extraordinary, and if he wants to persuade him to use his name to attract more readers, he must pay a high fee.

Thinking of this, Gran, Nack couldn't help but sigh in his heart, behind a successful man, there will always be many outstanding women.

Heidi and Krum, the world's most valuable supermodels, not only run their careers day by day, but also earn the money and attention that countless models dream of as long as they walk one or two shows a year, but also run several companies founded by Yang Cheng well. …,

In addition to Heidi and Krum, Sienna Miller's tailor-made dress for Yang Cheng is considered an unparalleled success by the fashion industry, and Sienna herself has become one of the most influential designers in the fashion field by virtue of this, and she herself is a proprietress and a movie star, which is very rare.

With these two women behind the hype and fueling, coupled with Yang Cheng's great success in football, all of this has come together to form today's Caesar Yang Cheng's golden signboard.

At least Gran and Nack knew that although the price code given by the Bild newspaper was rich, the newspaper did not withdraw its benefits, not to mention the short-term benefits, and in the long run, they hoped to cooperate with Yang Cheng's meager blog and reprint his blog posts in their daily newspapers, which was an unprecedented cooperation and was very favorable.

Of course, Yang Cheng is not without his benefits, at least his name can appear every day in the important sections of the largest circulation newspapers in Germany and Europe, which will increase his influence and popularity day by day.

"Wow, that's impossible to refuse!" Yang Cheng said with a smile, he knew that since the other party had found Grant Yock, and the latter also mentioned it, then he should give Grant Yock a face, who made them friends for many years?

"Would you like to ask the woman behind you?" Gran, Nack made a joke.

Anyway, there was no one around, and he wasn't worried about leaking the news

Yang Cheng laughed, Gran, Nack's words are not to say that he is afraid of Heidi, Krum, in fact, he is not a person who is afraid of guilt, but because Yang Cheng is generally not involved in business matters, so he will be used by this bastard to make fun of him.

"Okay, go ask her! Yang Cheng followed his words.

Gran, Nack suddenly softened, "Forget it, just say yes!" "Dealing with Heidi and Krum is a very stressful thing, because the other party is a combination of beautiful women, and as a man, when dealing with this kind of woman, he is always at a loss.

This time, Yang Cheng made fun of this gutless bandit.

The two walked into the venue one after the other, and many people at the scene immediately noticed Yang Cheng and greeted him one after another.

As one of the venues of the World Cup, Kaiserslautern also arranged for many people to come over, and when they saw Yang Cheng, they naturally had a greeting, and finally Beckenbauer personally came to greet Yang Cheng and brought him to his seat.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement, Yang Cheng's left is Beckenbauer, and on the right is Heidi and Krum.

Today's Heidi, Krum is wearing an orange cut-out dress, long golden hair tied into a ponytail tied behind her head, a pair of black high heels under her feet, and no jewelry on her body, that is, a diamond ring on the finger of her right hand, which is not big, but quite delicate.

It was a birthday gift from Yang Cheng, and she always carried it and never took it off.

"The editor-in-chief of the Bild newspaper just talked to me about wanting you to start a column in their newspaper and want to work together on blogs and meager things, and I think they have a fair deal."

Yang Cheng sat down and exchanged a few words with the people around him, Heidi and Krum came over and whispered.

"Gran just told me, and I agreed!"

Heidi, Krum nodded, "Then I'll arrange for someone to come over and talk to them." ”

After that, they talked about a few more business matters, which is also Hai regret", Krum's habit, when she met Yang Cheng or made a phone call, the first thing she always talked about business first, and then said other things.

However, when it comes to other things, she always pays attention to efficiency, for example, this time, she just gently picked Yang Cheng's hand on the table with her fingers and asked, "Did you stay in the hotel I arranged for you?" ”

After seeing Yang Cheng nodding, she said, "I'll go over to look for you at night!" ”

And then nothing was said.

Of course, this is outside, Heidi in private, Krum is actually very gentle and tender, but this side she is used to closing the door to show, and Yang Cheng has long been accustomed to her this. …,

"You guys are really comfortable, traveling around the world at public expense, tsk, I'm so envious!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Heidi, Krum gave the guy a blank look, but Beckenbauer fired back.

"You can also join, resign as Liverpool's main coach, come to work in the German Football Association, and I will arrange you in!"

Yang Cheng immediately shook his head, how could this be possible.

"In fact, traveling around the world is not a good job, and it is not a chore to arrange the itinerary of every place, and it is not a chore to meet with the local Football Association and government officials, and to promote the World Cup." Beckenbauer said with a smile.

This is a pre-World Cup event, that is, the host country arranges a publicity team to visit other countries participating in the World Cup finals one by one, and to carry out publicity in the participating countries for several consecutive days, so this visit will last for several months.

As the attendees of the party arrived, Blatter arrived at the venue accompanied by UEFA Executive Committee member Michel Platini, and the arrival of the FIFA host was immediately warmly welcomed by everyone in the audience.

"No wonder so many people say that Blatter is even more powerful than the president of the United States!" Yang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene.

He's simply an Earth Emperor!

"So, you should have less to do with Platini." Beckenbauer, of course, knows about Yang Cheng's grievances with Platini, "He is a flag that Blatter planted in UEFA!" ”

Yang Cheng saw that Blatter and Platini, who walked into the venue, seemed to have a very close relationship, and couldn't help but be interested in the relationship between the two, "What is the relationship between the two of them?" ”

Beckenbauer laughed, "Isn't that what you said, the relationship between godfather and godson?" ”

Yang Cheng was immediately amused, but he couldn't help shaking his head, it wasn't that simple.

"Platini was in charge of a lot of things during the preparation of the World Cup in France, and he was associated with Blatter, he was a great star, and Blatter used Platini's influence and the Frenchman's active lobbying to defeat Johansson the following year to be elected FIFA's main "sail without watermark" seat, and after that, Platini served as Blatter's personal assistant.

As soon as Yang Cheng heard the word personal assistant, he somehow remembered a word with the characteristics of the country of "set sail without watermark", Xiaomi.

"After Platini became familiar with the operation of the management, Blatter began to hope that he could gain a foothold in UEFA, that is, his sworn enemy Johansson's camp, so he supported him to come out into politics, so there was a dumb year The head of the French Football Federation "Set sail without a watermark" took the initiative to resign, allowing Platini to be replaced as a member of the UEFA executive committee, but Platini is also a member of the FIFA executive committee and has a large position.

Yang Cheng knew this matter very clearly, he had personally experienced these things at that time.

UEFA, to some extent, seems to be another football mechanism standing outside FIFA, sitting on the core of football in the world, and at the same time, whether it is UEFA or the European Champions Cup, it has the appeal and ability to make money not to lose to the World Cup, which makes UEFA has been a big problem for FIFA for many years.

In the simplest example, the G14 has been asking for a piece of the national team competition, and UEFA has always taken an ambiguous attitude, even acquiescence, behind this scene, but FIFA is resolutely right.

If the two major aircraft groups work together, there will be no trouble at all in the "Set Sail without Watermark" and "Set Sail without Watermark" department.

So, judging by this situation, it is understandable that Blatter wants to plant a flag in the UEFA camp.

"Johansson was diagnosed with the first adenocarcinoma in 01 and has been receiving treatment, and was about to retire as early as 02, but he has never been able to find a suitable successor, and it is Blatter who is behind the scenes."

Yang Cheng frowned, it was indeed too coincidental, Johansson was revealed to have prostate cancer in 01, and then a series of operations between Blatter and the French Football Association, to Platini in 02 to replace the French Football Association's main "Set sail without watermark" seat to enter the UEFA executive committee, all of this is too coincidental from the perspective of time, saying that no one planned to arrange, who believes? …,

"Can't you fight back?"

"Let's put it this way, since the French Football Federation promoted Platini as a member of the UEFA Executive Committee, all this has been doomed!" After a pause, Beckenbauer smiled bitterly: "If it were only Platini, he would not be Johansson's opponent at all, but I can guarantee that Blatter will come forward at a critical moment!" ”

This reminded Yang Cheng of his previous life, it was Blatter's appearance that directly led a series of small and medium-sized European countries to switch to Platini's camp, which in turn caused Johansson's final rout, and the chips made by Platini were Champions League seats in addition to monetary assistance.

Blatter's move has also been bombarded and criticized by the G14 and football powers, believing that this kind of interference by FIFA in the UEFA election is unprecedented, and after that, everyone knows that Platini is the puppet of Blatter to control UEFA.

At this time, fans should understand one thing, Platini is a puppet of Blatter, but if you don't represent UEFA, you will have to let FIFA put it on the table, which is wrong, because UEFA has its own mode of operation and decision-making in major matters, for example, the executive committees of European countries will not allow Platini to do this.

To put it more vividly is that arranging for a Chinese "set sail without watermark" to become the president of the United States, he still cannot change Sino-US relations, and at best he can only move his hands and feet in some small places, and occasionally express some close feelings to the Chinese "set sail without watermark" theory, which is as simple as that.

"Maybe you can win the votes of small and medium-sized countries in advance!" Yang Cheng reminded.

Beckenbauer shook his head with a smile, "No one can fail to pay attention to all this, and everyone is fighting for these votes." ”

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that whether it was Johansson or Blatter, they were all old fritters raised by the so-called people's "set sail without watermark" main election, would they not know that small and medium-sized countries have no influence but have votes?

"This pool is very deep, and some things have been doomed from the beginning, and it may even be that since 01, after Johansson's prostate cancer was revealed, all this has begun to be laid out and plotted, and the ending is already doomed."

Yang Cheng has nothing to say, he really doesn't know about the election game of these so-called "set sail without watermark" masters.

Many people yearn for the people to "set sail without watermarks", but is it really good for the people to "set sail without watermarks"?

Is it really bad to be a dictatorship?

Not necessarily, because there are always two sides to things in the world!

"You're not interested in coming forward?" In his previous life, Yang Cheng had also heard the news that Beckenbauer was interested in politics.

The latter shook his head and smiled, "Even if I come forward, the result will still be the same." ”

Yang Cheng didn't have anything to say, because he didn't feel that he knew more about the inner story than Beckenbauer.

"You must understand that Platini is not just a Blatter, but a whole political faction in world football, I am sure that Blatter paved the way for him, after becoming the UEFA main "Set sail without watermark" seat, his next stop is the FIFA main "set sail without watermark" seat!"

"As for the so-called financial health policy that he usually talks about, it has little effect at all, and it can even be said to have no effect at all, as for the youth training strategy, do you think Johansson's UEFA does not pay attention to youth training? Is it fake that UEFA spends so much money on youth training every year? ”

Yang Cheng is a master coach, so he doesn't look at the problem as much as Beckenbauer, but he has to admit that now Johansson's UEFA also pays attention to financial balance and youth training, because this is the inevitable development of football, so this is not Platini's initiative, but just a gimmick he uses to flaunt his so-called reformers.

If you insist on the difference between the two, now that I think about it, Yang Cheng has a feeling that Johansson pays more attention to the unity within European football and strives to stand alone outside FIFA, which is also what European giants and powerful countries want, but Platini does not want European football to be together, which is what Blatter behind him does not want to see.

Of course, this is just his personal feeling.

"Don't go against him, you'll save a lot of trouble!" Beckenbauer suggested with a smile.

This should be regarded as an early leak of his good friend, after all, the election will not be carried out until 07, the month.

After Yang Cheng heard this, he laughed, "UEFA's main "Set sail without watermark" seat and FIFA's main "set sail without watermark" seat sound terrible, but I am just a small main coach, insignificant, and it is not easy for them to deal with me. ”

Although an elephant is huge, it is not easy to trample an ant to death, and it is even possible that the ant will climb up and cause trouble.

"I'm a very strange person, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me, I will pay it back tenfold and hundredfold!" Yang Cheng looked at the two people who walked into the venue and said with a sneer, especially when he looked at Platini, his eyes were full of disdain.

After listening to Beckenbauer's words, the last vestiges of his affection for Platini were gone.

At least later, if the French provoke again, he will not be polite again!. ）
