Chapter 349: The Fateful Moment!

Compared to previous editions, the Confederations Cup in Germany was arguably the most successful since its inception. The participating teams have changed their attitude of coping with errands in the past, and have brought many main players with them for the purpose of warming up and training for next year's World Cup. Brazil, for example, have the absolute main players such as Emerson, Ronaldo and Kaka, and Germany and Argentina have put their star stars Ballack and Riquelme in the squad for the Confederations Cup!

In terms of ticket sales, this year's Confederations Cup has also made great progress. At the Confederations Cup two years ago, ticket sales totalled an extremely shabby 50 per cent, and even the host French team did not attend more than 77 per cent of the stadium attendance. This year's Confederations Cup not only achieved a ticket sales rate of 92.7%, but also nearly 60,000 more fans came to watch the game than during the French Confederations Cup! The good sales of tickets made FIFA finally see a glimmer of hope that the Confederations Cup would get rid of the unfortunate halo of losing money!

In addition, although the final standings of the participating teams have not changed in any way compared to their previous lives, under the influence of George, there have been some changes in the final awards of this year's Confederations Cup. For example, the most talked-about Golden Boot award is no longer won by Adriano alone, Klose, who has scored five goals in just three appearances, and the Inter King share this honor!

With this Golden Boot award and his excellent performance of scoring 28 goals for Tottenham Hotspur in the just-concluded 04-05 season, Klose managed to rank among the top strikers - to score so many goals at Tottenham as a rotation player, and to be on par with Adriano in the scorer list in just three appearances, and even scored twice in a row against Argentina and Brazil, Klose's quality is undoubted!

Therefore, although Klose failed to enter the top three in the selection of the best player, he successfully selected the best team of the tournament by FIFA together with Ronaldo, Riquelme, Adriano and others!

As for Klose's failure to enter the top three of the Ballon d'Or (that is, the best player), many fans and media complained about his defeat, believing that FIFA's selection was unfair. In their opinion, compared with Adriano, who won the two major awards of the Golden Boot and Golden Ball, Klose, who has more goal efficiency and does not have as many strong teammates as Ade, is more qualified to be shortlisted!

It can be said that through this Confederations Cup, Klose finally made a name for himself in international football, took off the hat of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard in the South Korea and Japan World Cup, and became a real top striker in the eyes of fans!

In addition to Klose's dissatisfaction with Klose's selection in the top three of the Ballon d'Or, Osorio's replacement of Thiago Silva in the best team has also caused a lot of controversy among fans. Many people believe that the reason why the former was shortlisted for the best team was not because his performance was really better than his brother-in-law, but because of FIFA's balance!

The increase in the number of stars in the competition, the improvement in ticket sales, and even the increase in the debate about the ownership of the awards are something that FIFA likes to see. Because in this way, the Federation Cup, which has always been regarded as a chicken rib, has attracted attention, and there is naturally hope for turning losses into profits!

While FIFA is excited about the success of the Confederations Cup, there is a tense atmosphere within the German Football Association. All of them are now suffering from media criticism and pressure from above after a drainage system at the Forest Stadium failed to drain during the Confederations Cup final, causing the roof to leak!

Among them, the evaluations given by the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" and "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" are the most striking and harsh - shame!

That's right! It's a shame! You must know that the Germans have always been known all over the world for their rigorous and serious work, and the things they produce are also known for their excellent quality. However, this time, the stadium built on their own land actually had quality problems such as a drainage system failure and a leaky roof, which naturally made the proud Germans feel disgraced!

Therefore, after the Confederations Cup, the German Football Association immediately strengthened the quality inspection of the venues of next year's World Cup, so as to avoid a similar situation - if there is a quality problem in the World Cup, then Germany's face will be lost to the world!

"George, why don't you agree to the royal family's invitation to Singapore? It's not bad to travel there......" For George to choose to return to London instead of going to Singapore with a group, Elizabeth, who was a little crazy, obviously still had some small emotions in her heart.

"Ellie, we've been playing for almost a month now, and it's time to gather up and get ready for the new season. George reached out and touched Elizabeth's long silky hair, and said with a smile, "If you still want to go out and play, then wait for the team to go to the United States to play commercial games." ”

With the Confederations Cup officially coming to an end, George's trip to Germany has come to an end. However, instead of following the British royal family to Singapore for the 117th Session of the International Olympic Committee scheduled for July 6, he returned to London to prepare for the upcoming 05-06 season!

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for George to leave his base camp and go to Singapore to attend an Olympic committee meeting that he had no direct relationship with. Even though the outcome of this meeting would have a profound impact on his money-making plans and Tottenham's future development, it didn't make George change his mind!

If London can win the right to host the Olympic Games, then the cooperation agreement signed by George and the London Olympic Bid Committee will take effect immediately. That is, the London Olympic Organizing Committee will entrust the preparation of the 2012 London Olympic Games to Trafalgar Company, which needs to complete the construction of all supporting facilities and various buildings (apartments, commercial centers, office buildings, etc.) in and around the London Olympic Park before the agreed deadline, and ensure that it can be put into operation on schedule!

Of course, George is not a philanthropist, and it is impossible to blindly give in such a thing without expecting anything in return. According to the agreement previously signed between the two parties, when these facilities are put into operation, their ownership and all proceeds except for the Olympic Games will go to Trafalgar!

According to George's plan, when the time comes, these assets will be transferred to the name of Tottenham Hotspur (Tottenham Hotspur is a wholly owned subsidiary of Trafalgar, so there is no difficulty in this level of capital operation), and Tottenham's profitability will be the highest in Europe, even Real Madrid and Manchester United cannot compare with it!

At that time, even if UEFA introduces a fiscal fairness policy, even if Tottenham spends hundreds of millions of pounds a year to buy people, it is unlikely to cause a fiscal deficit!

Therefore, it can be said that the final ownership of the right to host the Summer Olympics this time will largely determine the fate of Tottenham Hotspur in the next ten years or even decades!
