The temperature inside the room was not low, but Mijatovic felt a hint of coldness. For him, the negotiations of the past few days are meaningless. There was even some schadenfreude in his heart. Anyway, he and Calderón are going to get out, and the G14 is dismantling to see how Florentino still pretends to be. There is not much affection for Real Madrid, Mijatovic, who is just the club where he has played.

"We are pleased to have been able to reach an agreement."

UEFA Chief Executive Angela Merkley was pleased to announce the results. Blatter and Platini retreated this time, giving a big step forward to giants like G14.

On March 20, 2006, the Belgian club Charleroy took FIFA to court with the support of G14. It all started in a friendly match in November 2004 when Morocco international Oumos, who played for Charlerois, was seriously injured and had to be suspended for eight months. With the support of the G14, Charleroy took FIFA to court.

Of course, a small Charlerois club, whether it is FIFA or UEFA, can slap him to death. It's a pity that he has G14 behind him, and there are giant organizations in European football. Although Charleroy is not a member of the G14, the same thing happened to G14 member Lyon, which made the G14 determined to support Charleroi. Lyon's France international Abidal was injured while playing for the national team, and the club also asked FIFA for compensation, but the club was also refused.

That's why they support Charleroy behind their backs. And it is demanding 870 million euros in compensation from FIFA. It can be said that it does not give FIFA face at all. There is even a lot of media speculation that if this case is tried once it goes to trial, then FIFA and the G14 will completely tear their faces apart.

This is why both FIFA and UEFA are clamoring for the disbandment of the G14. After Platini hit the G14, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to suppress. As the saying goes, don't chase after the poor. Platini knew that if he continued to suppress it, G14 was likely to be crushed. Therefore, the cooperation between FIFA and UEFA has instead ceded some benefits to the G14.

In the past few days of negotiations, the two sides have reached a preliminary agreement. The two football confederations agreed to the G14's proposal to redistribute the share of profits from the World Cup, Euros and Champions League, with players and clubs participating in these events receiving partial financial compensation. Similarly, the G14 also withdrew the lawsuit against the two major associations and agreed to dissolve the G14.

For Platini. It's really a big problem for a henchman. Therefore, UEFA is jubilant, and even the dissolution of G14 will become a major achievement for Platini. So Platini was on it, smiling at everything in front of him. He was in a good mood and the two people next to him talked and laughed frequently.

Laporta looked at Mijatovic next to him and sneered in his heart. In the G14, Real Madrid is a well-deserved boss, especially during the Florentino period, Real Madrid relied on the G14 to call for wind and rain in European football and constantly improve the status of Real Madrid. No matter how strong Florentino was at that time, UEFA's senior officials had to concede three points to him. The most glorious time of G14 was also when Florentino was the president of Real Madrid. Now that the G14 has been disbanded, Laporta, who is Real Madrid's arch-rival, can only be happy. In G14, Barcelona's voice is not high, and it is also suppressed by Real Madrid. Now he was so happy. Keep Real Madrid bullish.

This is not just Laporta, but also Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund. In G14, Manchester United and Bayern are one of the hegemons, and their favorite thing in G14 is to suppress the giants of the same league. So they have always had a lot of dissatisfaction. This time, G14 was disbanded so simply, and there were many reasons for the contradictions between these giants.

For clubs like Barcelona, Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund, with G14 it is already a concession to FIFA and UEFA. Having received enough benefits in the distribution of benefits in the World Cup, European Championship, and Champions League, it doesn't matter at all to disband G14. Even they want the G14 to be disbanded.

"This is a special day in the history of football. Clubs, the most fundamental elements of football competition and the foundation of its thriving, have finally joined the pyramid of football governing bodies. ”

After the meeting, Blatter and Platini walked out with smiles on their faces. Blatter said in a high-spirited manner that it was "a day of special significance." ”

Platini said: "In the future, the football governing body will listen to the requests of the club, and the club will be well organized in terms of both institutions and finances. Coalition is not a political tool, but a rational process. ”

After the meeting, only a few of the top leaders of the wealthy families had ugly faces. Including Real Madrid's Mijatovic, Manchester United's David. Gil, Bayern's Hoeness, and Milan's Galliani all had gloomy faces, because they hit the hardest this time. Although they got enough benefits, they were qualified to bargain with them as long as the G14 existed. But now the G14 is disbanded. Several of their top giants in European football have lost their original prestige.

On the contrary, those who have the strength but are suppressed by the top giants in G14 are overjoyed. Laporta said with a smile on his face when he faced reporters: "Friendship and trust are the foundation of the game of football, and I congratulate the UEFA president on completing the changes he promised when he took office. It's a win-win for all parties. ”

After speaking, he said even more excitedly: "We feel like we are back in the arms of the European football family. ”

It's not just Laporta who is excited. Even Arsenal's executive director, Edelman, made a joke in front of reporters: "Now, it's much easier for us to buy from Croatia or Serbia, and we can get the transfer done in a regular meeting with the manager." ”

After the dissolution of the G14, a new club organization, the European Club Association, was formed. Unlike the G14, the European Club Association has a wide range of members. It is the top league of all UEFA member countries and is officially recognized by UEFA and FIFA.

And the chairman of Lyon, who helped Platini this time, and the chairman of the G14 this time, Olas, said directly: "We have cleared the obstacles to the establishment of a new management model, which is a necessary sacrifice." ”

…………

"Huh. The G14 was finally disbanded. Platini probably breathed a sigh of relief. ”

"An era is over."

Pinny. Zahavi shook his head. For Lister and Pini. For Zahavi, the past few days have not been too sudden. Even the content of the meeting can be known to two people in time. But for people on the outside, it's a very big deal. Therefore, many people were shocked to hear the news that the G14 was going to be disbanded. Even many media outlets were taken aback.

All media coverage in the last two days has focused on the news of the dissolution of the G14. There are those who applaud his dissolution, and there are those who are pessimistic. Anyway, there are all kinds of meanings, and everyone is discussing Gillette.

'Chelsea have made a difference. UEFA will pay off. ”

Rist looked at Pini. Zahavi said with a smile. This time the disbandment of the G14, although Chelsea is only an external force, his contribution is very large. It happened that FIFA and UEFA faced off against G14, and G14 gave G14 a fatal blow in order to counter the important moment of FIFA and UEFA's suppression and expansion. If it wasn't Chelsea who stepped up at the time, they were actively involved in the G14 expansion. Clubs such as Tottenham, Atletico Madrid, and Bremen will certainly be actively involved, and it is really possible for the G14 to successfully expand to 40 teams. Once the G14 really includes all the best teams in European football, then it is really possible to play against FIFA and UEFA. With such a huge force, FIFA and UEFA will definitely not be able to suppress it directly.

So for Platini and UEFA, Chelsea are an absolute hero. This is the case in this industry, if you owe someone a family favor, then you have to pay it off no matter what method you use. It's a must.

"Return? It's just one season. Platini and UEFA can't really treat Chelsea as their own. ”

Pinny. Zahavi was calm. While Chelsea have made a big push to dismantle the G14s, there are some benefits this season or next. But at the end of the day, Chelsea can't be UEFA's true favourite club. UEFA will not support Chelsea as if they were their own.

"Yes. Not just Chelsea, it's not possible in the Premier League as a whole. ”

Rist also nodded and agreed with Pinny. Zahavi's meaning. This time the disbandment of the G14 has no club that can match the contribution of Chelsea. If Chelsea were clubs in other leagues, they might be the clubs that UEFA would be a priority for the next few years. There would be no Barça's strength.

Unfortunately, Chelsea are nouveau riche in the first place. Then he was a Premier League club. Entering the 21st century, the Premier League is too strong. You can see it from the Premier League's results in the Champions League. Four and a half seasons have passed since Benitez led Liverpool to the Champions League in the 0304 season, and there have been Premier League teams in each season's Champions League final. This means that there have been Premier League teams in the Champions League finals in the last four seasons, and Premier League teams have won three of them. Last season's Premier League clubs swept three of the top four, and this season's Champions League has all four teams in the round of 16.

And the Premier League is not only strong at the moment, they are also constantly bringing in reinforcements to make themselves stronger. Last season, Manchester City spent more than £80 million, Manchester United spent more than £50 million, Liverpool spent £40 million and Arsenal both spent £30 million. There are simply not a few giants in European football who can spend so much money in a summer.

The strength of the Premier League is already a threat to the interests of UEFA, and if the Premier League continues to be so strong, then the Champions League can be renamed the English FA Cup. When the time comes, it will greatly affect the impact of the Champions League. Because of aesthetic fatigue at that time, who will still watch the Champions League. The Champions League is UEFA's biggest cornucopia, and they will not allow anything to affect the Champions League's success. Therefore, the Premier League is something that UEFA has to fight. If they are so strong now that they change to any league in La Liga or Serie A, UEFA will hit them.

Later, many people said that Platini was Barcelona's godfather and thought that UEFA took care of them. Actually, it's not wrong. UEFA is indeed taking care of Barcelona, and it is indeed supporting Barcelona. In some key moments, it will be biased in favor of Barcelona. But the reason is definitely not as rumored because Barcelona helped the dissolution of G14. In the dissolution of the G14, Chelsea contributed several times more than Barcelona. Even like Lyon, their credit is definitely far greater than Barcelona's.

One of the reasons why Barcelona is liked by UEFA and supported by Platini is the relationship between Villar, the president of the Spanish Football Federation. Villar's relationship with Real Madrid was not bad, but then the relationship with Real Madrid began to deteriorate. Eventually, Villar was starting to support Barcelona. Villar is a real powerhouse in UEFA, and many even think that he is the UEFA president after Platini. Therefore, Platini's support for the Spanish team is also related to wooing Villar.

The other is that in the current European football world, there are only two teams that can compete with the Premier League. And they are both Spanish giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona. Serie A because of "Phonegate", the giants are already degenerate. Inter's treble in history is just a flashback, and Serie A clubs can at best become cannon fodder for UEFA to stop the Premier League.

Bayern, which should have been strong, is not doing well now. So only Real Madrid and Barcelona remained. Of the two teams, Platini chose Barcelona not because Barcelona was the best. On the contrary, it is because Barcelona is much worse than Real Madrid, and Real Madrid is too strong. In particular, the fact that G14 was able to make such a big climate had a lot to do with Florentino, who was strong later. In the process of opposing FIFA and UEFA, Real Madrid has been in the vanguard. In the G14's confrontation with FIFA and UEFA, Real Madrid is the leader and the one who charges. If the current president of Real Madrid is Florentino, it will not be so easy for UEFA to dissolve the G14.

Therefore, in order to suppress the Premier League and establish a new club, UEFA will choose Barcelona. Of course, this is an objective reason, and there are also the promotion of UEFA officials, the contact between the Barcelona management and Platini, and so on. But definitely not because of the dissolution of the G14.

'But we at Chelsea are not afraid. Since 03, we have come to the present in the exclusion of others. ”

Pinny. Zahavi smiled. So far, Chelsea have not benefited much from refereeing. With Platini and UEFA on this occasion, Chelsea have integrated into the current mainstream of European clubs. The first president of the soon-to-be-formed club league was Chelsea CEO Peter. Kenyon is Platini's first return to Chelsea. This would greatly enhance Chelsea's standing in European football.

"The G14 is gone, and Platini's position is secure."
