Some people may wonder that in the football circle, Jing Jian is just an insignificant little person in addition to being very popular in the British media, but this time FA President Lord Lake and UEFA President Johansson actually met with him one after another, and even made an exception to invite Jing Jian to watch the World Cup?

In fact, this has a lot to do with the current background of European football. At present, European football is on the eve of commercialization reform, and the sports industry, especially the football industry as the first sport, has attracted more and more attention from all parties. In particular, no one expected the Boseman Act a few years later, which completely changed the original landscape of European football.

Therefore, as Jing Jian, who has publicly magnified the cannon several times, he has actually become a kind of representative figure. Can you imagine that giants like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Milan have the same ideas as Jing Jian? Of course they are the same! Players are free to transfer, dominate domestic league broadcast fees, and increase the number of matches and qualifications for the European Championship...... , anyway, they are all a group of powerful local tyrants, who want to have achievements and money, why should they share most of their interests with those small clubs?

However, although these wealthy families think so, they are quite cunning and cunning, and they are unwilling to become the first birds. At this time, Jing Jian seemed to appear like rain in time, so what are you hesitating about? Pulling Jing Jian's banner and making a noise to force the palace? Anyway, if there is a benefit, everyone will take it together, in case the shot shoots the first bird, isn't there that Chinese boy?

So without Jing Jian's knowledge, he was "added to the yellow robe" by those wealthy families and became the standard-bearer leader of the reformers? And those with vested interests certainly understood that they could not stop this rolling torrent, but they always had to fight for the leading power of reform, right? The interests in this were too great.

"Bramble, how do you think the format of European clubs will change?" Johansson asked with a smile.

Jing Jian smiled slightly: "The competition is compressed into two, the top Champions Cup, and the new League Cup that merges the existing Winners' Cup and the League Cup. The leagues of each country are divided into grades, with four or five Champions Cup places at the highest level, two or three places at the lower level, and so on, and 32 teams are selected to participate in this season's Champions Cup through the qualifying round. Of course, the group stage or the knockout stage can be discussed later, but in order to ensure that the game is exciting, the three-point system must be implemented. ”

Jing Jian said that it was basically the same as the future European club competition, but this made the one thing tighten his eyebrows: "Isn't this appropriate? In this way, in a small league like Luxembourg and even Sweden, it is very likely that no team will enter the competition in which 32 teams participate? Isn't this lost the original intention of allowing all the champion clubs in Europe to participate in the Champions Cup?"

This format is indeed extremely unfriendly to the minor leagues, especially Johansson is still a Swede, he is somewhat partial to his hometown team, right? Also, the president of UEFA is elected by the football associations of various countries, although the level of the minor leagues is very low, but their football associations and the football associations of major leagues such as England and Spain also have only one vote, and the number of minor league football associations is very large, that is, just thinking about the future election, Johansson will never want to consider this plan.

Jing Jian was unmoved: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Chairman. Fans need great games, clubs need more expensive titles and appearance fees, and even sponsors need to be more exciting. And with equal opportunities, minor league teams can also start from the qualifying rounds, maybe they can work miracles?"

The mentality of both sides is actually completely different. Like Lord Lake, the reason why Johansson would talk to Jing Jian was to force Jing Jian to give in with both soft and hard measures. In their opinion, Jing Jian will not tear his face, right? There will always be some scruples about the FA or the European Football Association? Otherwise, aren't they afraid that they will encounter shady tricks in the future? After all, the Portsmouth club still needs results, right?

But in Jing Jian's mind, the Portsmouth Club is nothing more than a tool of his own. It's good to be able to produce results, but the second ten thousand years who was bullied by the powerful is actually very good, and from the perspective of publicity, it's actually about the same. Is it just an English club, a team from a foreign city, to be the first in the championship? This is not a national football team...... Bah, ignoring the national football team, this is not the football team of Xiaoguzi Village in Qingang?

In addition, the Portsmouth Club is not the core industry of Jingjian, no matter how serious it is, it is just an investment, so there is no energy to spend on a long bargain, it is better to simply open the hole cards to compare the size.

But when this attitude fell into Johansson's eyes, it seemed very arrogant. Johansson was somewhat dissatisfied: "Forgive me for being blunt, it is very difficult for you to pass such an idea on the committee. ”

However, upon hearing this, Jing Jian was very surprised. In his heart, his own conditions are not too much at all, isn't this the system of the future Champions Cup?

And here, there is a misunderstanding between the two sides. The Champions Cup in the previous life was indeed this format, but it was not until several years later, after countless repeated big and small games, that a compromise was finally reached. However, the idea of reform is still just beginning, and the power of vested interests is still quite large, so it is impossible to compromise to such an extent. And Jing Jian also relied on the memories of his previous life to make a judgment, thinking that he was just the first to propose it.

Without speculating for more than half a sentence, with a polite smile: "Your Excellency, the FA has asked the same question, and my answer is very simple, if you don't agree, we will throw off the FA and run the league ourselves......"

Kakinia, who was eavesdropping through the curtains, was shocked, and an expression of surprise immediately appeared on her face, this is definitely big news!

Jing Jian continued: "I will also contact other clubs, if UEFA is undecided for a long time, we will hold the Champions League independently, you can organize your own small league to compete for that consolation prize?"

Johansson's face showed anger: "This is impossible! You have violated FIFA rules! If anyone dares, he will be permanently disqualified from participating in all FIFA competitions, including the national team competition!"

"Oh?" Jing Jian knew for the first time that there were such rules, but would Jing Jian still be afraid of these?" "I'm sorry, I don't want to lose both, and I also hope that UEFA will organize a new Champions Cup, and I can even agree to use a part of the income to support those backward football associations." But it would be a shame if UEFA still stuck to the old ways. ”

“......”

Kachina left quietly, and he couldn't contain the excitement in his heart......
