Chapter 377: Monte Carlo Agreement

"Chairman Johansson, I think you'd better give me a reasonable explanation. Arriving at the hotel where Johansson was staying, George sat in front of the UEFA president with a grim expression, "I will evaluate whether it is necessary for us to continue to cooperate based on your next answer and sincerity!"

Tottenham are in the same group as Real Madrid, Lyon and Udinese, and George would never believe that UEFA has no behind-the-scenes operations in this area. He only wanted to know now why Johansson had made such an arrangement!

"Viscount Nelson, don't be so angry, let's get rid of it first. You know, before this, when the two met in private, George called Johansson Leonnet, and now he actually changed his mouth to the position of UEFA president to refer to himself, which is enough to show how strong the other party's dissatisfaction with himself is!

In fact, the Swede knew very well that his move to put Tottenham in the group of death this time must have angered the big man, so after noticing that George's face had become extremely bad, the head of UEFA has been thinking about how to explain this matter to George, so as to ensure that he will not be settled by the other party!

"Truth be told, Viscount Nelson, I meant to put Tottenham in the same group as Lyon and Real Madrid. However, it was my mistake that I forgot to send someone to explain this arrangement to you in advance because I was busy with Platini's campaign offensive during this time. Here, I'm going to make a compensatory to you first. After much deliberation, Johansson finally decided to tell the truth. After all, the main reason why things have developed to this point is that he did not communicate with George about the Champions League grouping in advance, which led to the latter's extreme dissatisfaction with Tottenham's inclusion in the group of death, and the responsibility is entirely on his side. If he makes up reasons to shirk responsibility now, it is difficult to say what more serious consequences will be brought to the cooperation between the two sides!

As for George's energy, Johansson could not be clearer. Therefore, when George personally came to the door to ask for the guilt, the Swedes decisively chose to take the initiative to admit their mistakes and stop the responsibility. Because he knows that since the other party can help him deal with Platini and force the French who have attracted a large number of small and medium-sized national football associations to be embarrassed within UEFA, then he can also support a new agent to replace him!

“…… Since you say so, then I'll take this one for granted. George stared into Johansson's eyes, as if trying to see the truth of what he had said. But until the end, he still didn't find any clues from the eyes of this old fox, "If this kind of thing happens a few more times, no matter how thick Tottenham's family is, it can't withstand such a toss." So, Chairman Johansson, I hope that similar things can be avoided as much as possible in the future. At least when you're making plans for Tottenham, remember to send someone to talk to me first. Also, as compensation, I hope that in the knockout stage, Tottenham can get some preferential treatment in the schedule and the arrangement of opponents!"

"Absolutely no problem!" Seeing that George had revealed the matter, the stone hanging in Johanson's heart finally fell to the ground, and he hurriedly promised, "Viscount Nelson, you can rest assured." If I mess up this matter again, I will be at your disposal at that time, and I will never say anything!"

"By the way, Leonart, you split Tottenham and Real Madrid together to deal with Lyon, right?" After getting Johansson's promise and venting the anger in his heart to a certain extent, George, who calmed down, naturally resumed his original name for Johansson, and confirmed to the other party with a smile, "If it's because of this, then I will definitely help with this favor!

Although he was still a little dissatisfied with Tottenham's inclusion in the group of death for two consecutive years, and he was not very convinced by the reasons given by Johansson, George also knew that he could not push the other side too hard at this time. If you really push the other party into a hurry in the final analysis, it will not be a good thing for yourself and Tottenham - at this time, there is still nearly a year and a half before the change of UEFA president, and Johansson, who has been in charge of UEFA for fifteen years, can still add to Tottenham's hegemony even if he can't deal with George.

While it won't be difficult to find someone to replace Johansson with George's current energy, it's hard to predict whether that replacement will be able to take control of the UEFA ship – if it's a superlative like Platini or Blatter, whatever happens, it won't be a good thing for Tottenham at that time. Now that Johansson has pledged to take care of Tottenham in the knockout draw, there is no need for George to continue to worry too much about this matter with the other party.

If you receive the benefits of the other party, you must give the corresponding return. If he always bullies, it is hard to say that Johansson will produce anything. What's more, this time it was Lyon, a traitor lurking within the giant alliance who had caused a lot of chaos to George at the previous G14 meeting, and George naturally had the idea of taking this opportunity to concoct the other party.

It is precisely because of this that George has a fairly clear understanding. Therefore, he asked this question, in order to confirm Johansson's thoughts, so as not to make any more trouble because of the poor communication between the two sides.

"That's right, Lyon and Olas must be taught their dues for their actions. Otherwise, if everyone follows the same example in the future, then we will be passive. Johansson nodded when he heard this, and said affirmatively, "Don't worry, don't look at the four teams in Group F are all from the five major leagues, purely from the overall strength of the group is indeed a group of death, in fact, the space that can be operated here is quite huge." Don't forget, the former Soviet team has never won a reasonable place in the World Cup, but it is not because of their strength. ”

"Haha, if that's the case, then I'm relieved. Hearing Johansson's words, George immediately knew what the other party was thinking. You know, UEFA under Johansson just didn't do as blatantly as it did under Platini. If the principle of fairness and justice were truly adhered to, Monaco would not have lost so humiliating in the Champions League final a year ago.

In this way, in a few words, George and Johansson reached an understanding on the draw for the Champions League group and sealed the fate of Lyon, a club destined to become a cup!
