Ever since Platini spoke out and demanded that FIFA thoroughly investigate the bribery within FIFA, the UEFA president has become the focus of media attention around the world.

You know, in 07, the reason why Platini was able to come to power was because of the strong support of the current FIFA President Blatter behind him, but who would have thought that it had only been a few years? Platini began to rebel!

Who is Platini?

Can someone who can be the president of UEFA, if he doesn't have a pound, is it possible?

Therefore, Platini resolutely denied the relationship of interest between himself and Blatter, and even cleared up the suspicion of collusion with some FIFA executive committee members, and said early in the morning that the reason why he came out to speak was because many things were really unbearable.

Coupled with the encouragement of some media outlets, Platini was naturally portrayed as a brave revolutionary who did not hesitate to resist the tyranny of his superiors for the sake of justice and integrity.

But there is a saying that is true, there are gains and losses.

Platini's voice was certainly praised by fans and the media, but it was also under tremendous pressure from within FIFA, and even within UEFA.

After all, how long has Platini been in power? Less than seven years!

How can a man with no previous qualifications bring together the richest football associations in the world from more than 50 countries in seven years?

Everyone knows it's impossible!

Therefore, if someone covets the position of UEFA president, they will naturally be co-opted by FIFA, in the final analysis, it is all interests!

When Platini asked what I should do now, Yang Huan shook his head and smiled slightly.

Just Platini, still a politician, it's too amateurish!

This is also in football, if you really go into politics, you will be killed by political enemies every minute!

"Michelle, your current situation is very optimistic, the position is quite stable, don't mess with yourself!" Yang Huan persuaded earnestly.

Sometimes he felt strange, how could such a man in his fifties not be as calm as his young man in his early twenties?

Is it because of the family environment in which I grew up?

"There will definitely be different voices within UEFA, at least fifty or so member states, it is impossible for all of them to support you, but so what? What qualifications do they have to object? Even, tell me, who is qualified to challenge you? ”

As soon as Yang Huan said this, Platini really bothered to think about it, but he really didn't come up with it.

You know, it is not easy to run for UEFA presidency and win the support of more than 50 member states.

When Platini wanted to run, he first persuaded the president of the French Football Federation to give up the position of the French Football Federation in the executive committee of UEFA to Platini, and let him go to UEFA to be gilded first, and then to FIFA to be gilded, and finally when Johansson was at his weakest, Platini suddenly came out.

But Platini didn't kill out without a head!

At that time, Platini was young and strong, belonging to the young Zhuang faction, completely different from the aging Johansson, and the slogan was also very much in line with Platini's image, that is, reform, and through his reform program, he won the support of a series of small and medium-sized countries.

This includes the expansion of the Champions League, especially for small and medium-sized countries!

In this UEFA presidential election, the football associations of each member state have one vote, and they have won the majority of small and medium-sized countries, and Platini is equivalent to being invincible.

In fact, Platini has been doing this since taking over as UEFA president, so his position as UEFA president is not as stable as a mountain, but at least it can be regarded as a peace of mind.

"You've done quite well in recent years, winning most of them, and the big cake of the European Cup expansion has made everyone in the entire UEFA salivate, can they not follow you?"

Yang Huan smiled, the expansion of the European Cup is also a big weapon to let more people surround Platini.

"Now the only thing worth considering is the European giants, you have a poor relationship with them, especially to strongly promote a healthy fiscal policy, but it is not completely out of room for turnaround, as long as you reveal a little bit of a hint of the tone, the healthy fiscal policy is also discussed, then they will all return?!"

What are the European giants most afraid of at the moment?

That must be the big cake of the Champions League, without its own share!

As for the rumored so-called European Super League or something, it's just a no-brainer, it's pure nonsense!

UEFA has previously promoted a healthy fiscal policy by deducting Champions League bonuses and shares, so teams including Manchester City and Chelsea have been punished successively.

But everyone knows that European professional football is entering the era of big capital operation, and since it is big capital, it is definitely not about whether there is debt or not, whether the finances are healthy or not, but about risk control.

In other words, it doesn't matter how much debt you have, as long as there is no risk of bankruptcy.

Even to some extent, if you have the ability to control your debt ratio to a low risk stage, then the higher your debt, the better and stronger your team is.

The reason is simple, if you have such a high debt, then you have to have such a high revenue!

It's like Real Madrid, is it in debt?

Many!

But Florentino is a cow, and people can further increase their debt by constantly generating income, and then introduce superstars through debt, and then use the superstars to join to further increase the team's revenue.

It's a cycle!

As for the risk, there is, because as long as the revenue declines, then Real Madrid's game will not be able to play, and it will even face bankruptcy, but what does it matter?

Real Madrid is a membership system, and even if the debt goes bankrupt, there are members to bear it.

Furthermore, Real Madrid employs so many accountants and marketing personnel in order to minimize this risk and continuously improve the club's ability to generate revenue.

Even in times of economic crisis, banks are more than happy to lend money to Real Madrid, because it is guaranteed!

Therefore, in this era of big capital operation, the fiscal health policy may not be able to play a role, but it will definitely make the giants dissatisfied, but the small and medium-sized teams may not be happy.

For example, Manchester City, the boss of the Abu Dhabi consortium is rich and capricious, why don't you let people vote?

Therefore, Yang Huan means that in terms of fiscal health policy, a small opening will make Platini's position more stable.

After listening to Young Master Huan's words, the Frenchman also nodded incessantly, "Okay, I know how to do it!" ”

"Also, you must remember that what you said before was not ruthless or resolute enough!"

"What do you mean?" Platini didn't quite understand.

Yang Huan slapped his head hard, and thought to himself, no wonder these Europeans have to learn Sun Tzu's Art of War when they want to play tricks, it's really infuriating!

"You think, how good your relationship with Blatter was in the past, and now, how much suspicion people have about you, and if you want to prove your innocence, you must come up with more and more powerful means to achieve the effect!"

Platini understood a little, "Young Master Huan, what do you mean, to die?" ”

"Yes!" Yang Huan nodded, but shook his head again, "But there is also knowledge in it, if you are tepid like before, everyone will think that you are putting on a show, forced to come out and pose under pressure, and over time, those who originally supported you will be disappointed when they see that you have no new moves!" ”

Platini immediately nodded, no wonder many voices in support of him have been weakened lately.

"But is it too urgent to get more support?"

Yang Huan didn't wait for Platini to reply, shook his head again, and said: "It's not, because you are in too much of a hurry, on the one hand, FIFA may jump over the wall in a hurry and directly treat you as a thorn in the head, as the main target to target, on the other hand, fans and the media will also feel that you are not suspected of wanting to clear up your involvement, which is not good for you!" ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

Yang Huan snapped his fingers, "You've made a few remarks before, aren't you too soft?" ”

"Well, it's a little soft!"

"Then upgrade!"

"Upgrade?" Platini kind of understood.

"Yes, you just said that you are very disappointed that you have not given a statement for a long time for FIFA, and you can't see any show of determination and sincerity, and you will be forced again, but you should be more ruthless."

"If FIFA reacts, that's fine, you get off the donkey and go further; But if you still don't give a reaction, you can say it more ruthlessly, and even give an ultimatum, in short, you want to use this escalating rhetoric and posture to consolidate your image as an anti-black vanguard! ”

When Platini heard this, he really had a kind of loyalty to kneel on the surface.

Hearing Young Master Huan say this, he really had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

"I understand, Young Master Huan, I'll be interviewed by the media as soon as I get back, and say another cruel thing!"

"Don't say too much!" Yang Huan reminded again, "No one likes people who are verbosity, besides, really influential people, even if it is just a sentence, can set off monstrous waves, and if you are just bluffing, no matter how much you say, people will simply think that you are farting!" ”

Platini nodded busily, and he also understood a little in his heart that whether his words were useful or not, Young Master Huan's money and resources were very important.

"Michelle, believe me, the situation is tilting in your favor, as long as you don't make a mistake and Blatter is off the stage, the position of FIFA president belongs to you!" Yang Huan said with a smile.

Platini listened, and his eyes also showed a hint of fanaticism.

If FIFA is an independent kingdom independent of the world power system, then the president of FIFA is the emperor of this independent kingdom.

Who doesn't want to be an emperor and taste the taste of life and death?

Seeing him like this, Yang Huan knew it in his heart.

In fact, Platini is indeed very good at being a person.

Southampton's luck in the draw in the group stage was very good, and in the knockout round of 16, they met Galatasaray, who has not been in particularly good form in recent times, and it can be regarded as a pretty good sign among the seven group teams.

With Southampton's strength, it is not entirely impossible to qualify for the group stage, or even eliminate Galatasaray and advance to the quarterfinals.

As for the teams that have reached the quarter-finals, the strength of the teams they encounter will definitely be very strong, and it will depend on Southampton's own performance and luck at that time.

If you meet strong teams like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona too early, it will be a big disaster for Southampton!

It can be seen that this draw is certainly a kind of luck, but in the Champions League, a top professional arena with many strong players, if you want to go to the end, no, or even want to reach the semi-finals, it is impossible to do it without strong enough strength.

Just like Galatasaray that he is meeting now, his strength and form are relatively weak in the top 16.

But in the Telecom Stadium, Mancini's team relied on strict defense and insisted on not giving Southampton the slightest chance.

Half an hour has passed, and the situation has not been opened for a long time, which is really worrying.

But there are obviously people who are not willing to give up!
