G14, this is definitely an organization that fans shouldn't be aware of. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fans don't know about G14, just like Chinese haven't heard of GDP!

The headquarters of this football organization composed of 18 top teams is arranged in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, which is the headquarters of the European Union, and as one of the legal entities recognized by the European Union as economic interest groups in the European Union, the G14 has arranged its headquarters at the location of the EU headquarters, apparently taking into account the organization's official ties with the European Union.

Each of the G14 clubs is the top team in the country where it is located, and the president of the club is also a certain influential figure in each country, and the G14 organization formed by these people has the right to negotiate with other EU organizations.

G14 meets four times a year and this year, in mid-June, after the end of the season, G14 met again with representatives from all G14 member clubs in attendance.

There were a number of topics on the agenda, most of which were within the organization, but one of the most important was the topic of recruiting new members.

For more than a year, discussions have been going on about the G14 expansion, with Italy's Roma, Lazio, Parma, Germany's Hertha Berlin, Scotland's Rangers and Celtic, Belgium's Anderlecht, and Portugal's Benfica all submitting applications to join.

But these clubs are not as good as the two teams from the Premier League, the Red Rebels and Chelsea, both financially and in terms of influence.

As the winner of the new European Champions Cup, the Red Rebels are the most powerful team in European football today, with a star-studded group of big names, known as the new elite of European football, from the defending League Cup to the Premier League champion, and now the Champions League winner, the Red Rebels have proved their strength in three years, and at the same time, with their strong operational capabilities, they have become the hottest top team in football today.

Although the Red Rebels did not release their financial statements, according to media speculation, the Red Rebels' operating income has surpassed Manchester United, second only to the superstar-studded Real Madrid, and surpassing the latter, becoming the world's strongest football club in terms of operating income.

On the other hand, the Red Rebels have an excellent image, and can even be said to be the team with the best image in today's football, with a good relationship with the Premier League and the FA, and a good relationship with UEFA.

In the face of such a rising team, the G14 have been hoping to recruit the Red Rebels into the organization to increase the influence of the G14, but it has not worked out due to opposition from the Premier League's top three Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.

However, this has changed as the situation has changed.

First of all, Arsenal, in Almunia's transfer, the Red Rebels gave Arsenal enough face and did not ask for even a penny of transfer fees, which made Arsenal's attitude towards the Red Rebels change, although the fans are still hostile, but the club operators have some contact with the Red Rebels, especially after seeing the Red Rebels' excellent business skills.

As for the other 15 teams, AC Milan, Real Madrid and Ajax are supporters of the Red Rebels, and they have also continued to help through their influence, with Juventus, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Valencia and Lyon also supporting the Red Rebels, which has brought the number of Red Rebels supporters to more than 10 in one fell swoop.

According to the G14 regulations, applicants are only allowed to join the organization if there is more than or equal to the support of 10 clubs, so at the beginning of this G14 meeting, the issue of whether to accept the Red Rebels to join was thrown into the conference room by the G14 chairman-in-office, Juventus's vice president, Betga.

After a round of voting, the Red Rebels finally passed the vote with 13 votes in favor, 1 vote against and 4 abstentions, and officially joined the G14, and the only vote against was from Manchester United. Gill clearly doesn't want a fourth G14 team in the Premier League, especially since this team is also a sworn enemy of Manchester United.

But when David? When Jill saw that he was the only one in the audience, alone and alone, he could only shake his head and sigh bitterly, after all, he alone couldn't stop the feelings of these bigwigs.

Xiao Yu with Mark? David walked into the conference room, Florentino and Galliani personally got up to greet them, and the club bosses stood up in unison to congratulate Xiao Yu at the locations they kept passing along the way.

David? Jill felt very helpless about the scene in front of him, who would have thought that 7 years ago, Xiao Yu, who walked into the conference room in high spirits and accepted the presidents of the top and most powerful clubs in Europe, had nothing and had just decided to create a new football club.

In just 7 years, the Red Rebels have risen from the 10th tier of England to the hottest top team in European football today, with influence all over the world, but Manchester United has transformed from a model of management to the most indebted team in the world. Jill was sarcastic.

As a rule, as a new team, it is necessary to have a conversation before participating in the meeting.

When Xiao Yu stood in front of everyone, everyone felt a burst of amazement, he was too young, only 30 years old, although he had a son, he was not married, which had to make everyone present feel that they were really old!

But a handful of people, including Florentino and Galliani, sat and waited to see the show.

Before the meeting, they had communicated with Xiao Yu many times.

........................ "I'm not really excited to be standing here, not excited! ”

As soon as Xiao Yu's words came out, everyone present was in an uproar, no one thought that Xiao Yu, who had just received permission to join, would say such a thing, and suddenly a group of people were discussing, but the few bigwigs led by him did not express their position, and the others naturally did not say anything.

Although it is said that the G14 is full of big guys, but the big guys are also high and low, strong and weak clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan and Juventus do not speak, and the participants of teams such as Porto and Bayer Leverkusen naturally do not dare to speak.

"Because I have a hunch that if we continue on the current pattern, we are not far from being disbanded, because we have become a big problem for UEFA and even FIFA!"

For Xiao Yu's words, it was impossible for everyone present to deny it, because this was the truth.

Since the establishment of G14, it has been fighting against UEFA and FIFA almost all the time, but it does not represent the interests of the majority of clubs, but the interests of the top teams, even if it is to promote the restructuring of the Champions Cup and let UEFA increase the profit share of the Champions League round of 16, which is only related to the top teams.

"I could have said a lot of good things, but I thought about it, and I think I still want to say what is in my heart, and if anyone thinks they can't say it, that's fine, I can leave, but I can guarantee that in less than 5 years, G14 will cease to exist!"

Xiao Yu's words once again shocked everyone at the scene, but they couldn't ignore this upstart who represented the Red Rebels in English football, even David? Gil has to admit that many of the things Xiao Yu once said have come true in the end, such as his prediction that Manchester United would eventually be acquired.

"Mr. Xiao Yu, G14 pays attention to equality and mutual benefit, and you are now a member of G14, so you can naturally say your opinion!" As the current chairman, Betga took the lead in expressing his position.

Everyone else also expressed their support for Xiao Yu to continue.

"Equality and mutual benefit!" Xiao Yu focused on one of Bettega's words, "Yes, this is the concept of G14, I appreciate it, but in the end, we found out, after the establishment of our organization, which force does it represent?" It's a top team! ”

The revenue share of the Champions League is only related to the top teams, and for those teams in the middle of the league or even the lower reaches, the Champions Cup is a floating cloud, and they even have a problem with survival, who cares about the prize money of the Champions Cup?

"I know what you've been worried about, and I know what you've been wanting, but I want to ask you why UEFA hasn't taken the Europa Super League that you've been proposing seriously.

The slogan of the European Super League has been shouted for several years, and it can even be said that from the moment G14 was established, it was born for the European Super League, but after a few years, the European Super League is still a shadowless thing, why?

"The reason is simple, we lack the foundation!"

The Premier League is undoubtedly strong, but without the support of league systems such as League One, League Two and League C, can the Premier League exist out of thin air?

The same goes for leagues such as La Liga, Bundesliga and Serie A!

If the European Super League is established, it is true that the top teams in Europe can be recruited to play together, and then the points will be smoothly calculated according to the ranking of the standings, but what about relegation? What about the sub-divisions?

Let's also forget that Real Madrid and Barcelona, Manchester United and Liverpool, Juventus and AC Milan, these teams can become the most popular teams in the team, and the reason why their rivalry can be passionate, in addition to the identity of the giants, the league background behind them is also indispensable.

For comparison, according to the current distribution of the Champions Cup, if Real Madrid, the second in La Liga, meets Juventus at the top of the Serie A table in the round of 16, it must be a duel that fans talk about, but if it is in the European Super League, it is entirely possible for the two teams to be at the top of the table and the other to be at the bottom.

Xiao Yu's words are not casual, he has a number of surveys made by the Ministry of Commerce as a support, showing that the reason why the Champions Cup knockout round is getting more and more attention from fans is that the brutal knockout match is that both sides of the brutal knockout round are the top teams in their leagues, so it is a real strong dialogue.

Once the strong teams and giants are put together into a league, according to the ranking of the standings, there will inevitably be a gap between the strength and weakness, and at that time, the influence of the giants will be completely weakened.

There is also a very important point, that is, unless the establishment of the European Super League can be approved by UEFA and FIFA, otherwise, once implemented, as long as FIFA and UEFA decree are issued, any player, coach, and referee who participates in the European Super League will be disqualified from participating in FIFA's leagues, Champions Cup, World Cup and other events, how many are willing to participate?

That's why the European Super League hasn't been able to do it for so many years!

So, what is the foundation?

In addition to the G14 members of the leagues, there are also clubs in Europe that are not the top 5 leagues, they are the solid foundation of European football, as for these giants, they are all standing at the top of the pyramid jewels, although dazzling, but once they lose their roots, they are bound to fall quickly.

The people who can sit in this conference room, every one of them is extremely smart, it is impossible to say that Xiao Yu sees farther than others, and it is impossible to say that Xiao Yu knows more than others, they are all old fritters who have been in the football circle for many years, it is impossible for them not to know this situation, but why do they never try to change?

There is another key issue here, and that is profit!
