The next day, Jing Jian accompanied Mai Ting for a crazy day in Venice, and then embarked on a flight across the Atlantic. However, the two of them were talking and laughing in first class, and the global media had already exploded.

On the European continent, the newspaper "Milan Sport" published the bombshell news: "...... According to sources, Portsmouth's Brumble chairman has threatened both the FA and UEFA that his club will set up its own domestic league and Europa League without the establishment of a separate Premier League and Champions Cup......"

As soon as the World Cup ended, journalists from various countries immediately flocked to the FA and UEFA officials, and they were forced to make statements one after another:

"Sorry, the report is a bit inaccurate. We, the FA, had only internal communication with Portsmouth FC and no decision was made. Some of Chairman Bramble's suggestions are constructive, and we will strengthen communication in the future and respect the opinions of each club. ...... No, no, we in English football are a big family and I don't think there's the slightest chance of a split. ”

Because within the FA, the power of several giants is very large, and the frequent problems in English football have led to a sense of urgency for reform, so the FA's statement is quite tactful.

"It's not a problem-solving attitude, and Chairman Bramble's performance is really arrogant. We at UEFA will not tolerate black sheep. Of course, we still hope that he will find his way back and the door is open for UEFA. We hope to continue our dialogue with him and to find a solution that satisfies both parties. ”

Since UEFA is having a good time, they have little incentive to reform. In particular, it is necessary to take care of the emotions of those countries in the minor leagues, so the tone is harder. Of course, UEFA doesn't dare to offend the giants too much, if it really breaks up, it's really a big game, so they can be regarded as the kind of regret!

Interestingly, FIFA can't wait to join this war of words: "...... We noticed the news of the president of a European club, which set a very bad precedent. We at FIFA would like to reiterate that any match that is not organized by an association of FIFA is a violation of the rules and that all those involved in the competition, including coaches and players, will be banned from all FIFA-related competitions. But we hope that UEFA will resolve the situation as soon as possible, and if there is really any disagreement, it can be appealed to FIFA arbitration. So here we need to issue a warning to Mr. Bramble, and will punish him for his extremely irresponsible remarks. If he does not recognize his mistake and sincerely repents, he will be punished with a maximum ban from all football activities. ”

FIFA, of course, has zero tolerance for challenging its rights. But there has always been a lot of friction with UEFA, the strongest, richest, and most powerful, so with this "throwing away incident", they want to take the opportunity to meddle in UEFA's affairs, and secretly encourage Jing Jian to go to FIFA for arbitration.

However, superficial efforts are still needed, and Jing Jian received a penalty sheet issued by FIFA with a "fine of 5,000 US dollars and a ban on watching five games live".

Jing Jian didn't know about this penalty sheet on the plane, UEFA had been half angry with this penalty ticket. If you want to be punished, then you should also be punished by UEFA?

Not to mention the intrigue within the Football Federation, the melon-eating masses watched the excitement, and in the street interviews, they were generally quite interested in the European League organized by the giants of various countries. Fans don't care about the intrigue within the Football Federation, now the matches between European giants are too rare, and fans from all over the world often fall into the confrontation between Guan Gong and Qin Qiong.

And the interviews with the giants did not go so well, after all, they were afraid of wolves and tigers, that is, they wanted such a game, but they did not want to be hostile to UEFA. So all the diplomatic rhetoric, those vague answers are almost no answers. As a result, some media quipped: "The managers of those big clubs have changed their careers to become diplomats." ”

......

Just when European countries were in full swing, the British media still did not forget the "acquisition of the national team". Unsurprisingly, Portsmouth FC did not appear to have been affected at all, sending a second offer to the clubs of all the players on the list, this time with a full 20 per cent price increase. As soon as the news came out, the whole of England was in a sensation, this is a rhythm of more than 100 million pounds? In fact, the total price of this offer has exceeded the possible transfer of all other clubs, and it is completely a hanging.

This time the response was divided, with some clubs quite adamant and still "not for sale". At this time, the players are very unfree and do not have the initiative to transfer, if the club insists on not selling, they can only helplessly stay, even if the price is high.

And some of them have come loose. Due to the recurrent stadium tragedy, every club has had to renovate its stadium, resulting in a general financial strain. In particular, Portsmouth's bid has greatly exceeded the market price, so there are seven or eight "thank you for the offer, but such an offer is hardly satisfactory". This is already a release of its own meaning - if you give a heart-warming price, it is not impossible to negotiate!

The last one is the one that no longer hesitates. The Portsmouth Club received six counter-offers that were either agreed to or raised in price. Among them were counteroffers from Alan Shearer, Davao Suker and Zinedine Zidane. Pixar did not drag its feet on these sincere clubs, and in just one day of negotiations, they negotiated the six transfers for £27.5 million. As soon as the news came out, no one doubted Portsmouth's sincerity and financial resources.

However, no one noticed that Portsmouth FC was also undergoing an internal purge. The first is that Bebeto and other two Brazilian players transferred to the Spanish club, and because they were both selected for the Brazilian team this time, they bought them at a good price, recovering 7.2 million pounds.

In addition to the two retired players, 11 players have been added to the transfer list. Portsmouth didn't care much about the price, and suddenly became a hot commodity in the transfer market. Of course, the club has also added three young players from the Academy.
