Grand Place, Hilton Brussels.

In the business boardroom, the G14 organization members have a total of 19 club representatives.

In addition to the 14 clubs that were founding members, there are four clubs that have been vetted since 2002 and Liverpool, who returned to the top of Europe last summer.

The 19 clubs are:

From England: Millwall, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal.

From Germany: Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen.

From Spain: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia.

From Italy: Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan.

From France: Lyon, Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain.

From the Netherlands: Ajax, PSV Eindhoven.

From Portugal: Porto.

In addition to representatives of the 19 clubs, UEFA Secretary General David Taylor was present at the meeting, who will wait for the G14 to make a decision before signing the agreement with the G14, or not.

The G14 was mired in internal and external troubles before and after the "change of government" at UEFA.

The external threat is naturally Platini's appointment as UEFA president and the beginning of a crackdown on the G14.

At the same time, in the first half of 2007, due to the resignation of the rotating chairman, Dane from Arsenal, also lost the qualification of the rotating chairman, and the nominal leader of the G14 became vacant.

Millwall's representative Carter has been controlling the situation, but at the same time, Millwall suffered a shocking "bloody case" in the European competition. Millwall is in an awkward position within the G14!

The subtleties of the shape shì are: Millwall, on the other hand, could only remain silent. In the absence of a concrete plan and for the G14 allies to see that it is possible, Millwall simply cannot call on the G14 to protest against something, because the G14 is an interest group, not an idealist alliance, and a simple struggle is meaningless for the other G14 members.

Wait until the time comes for the annual change of the rotating chairman. Lyon President Olas became the rotating chairman, so there was a comical scene of "monkeys as kings" within the G14.

After two summits in the second half of 2007, other giants remained silent, and Aulas believed that he could take on the role of leader, especially Millwall's withdrawal from European competition, just like Juventus, Dortmund and other European teams, lost their voice in disguise.

At today's summit, the atmosphere of the meeting is as lifeless as ever. It seems that most of the club representatives are reluctant to say a word.

Manchester United represents Jill. Real Madrid President Calderón, Barcelona President Joan Laporta, AC Milan Representative Galliani, Millwall Representative Carter, Bayern Munich Rummenigge and so on, the representatives of these European giants are all silent.

Rotating President Olas presided over the meeting and impassionedly announced the victory of the G14 at this stage!

That's right, he sees the conditional agreement between FIFA and UEFA as a G14 victory.

In the past, their players were injured in international competitions and the club did not receive any compensation, and in case the star of the house was injured, this loss was incalculable, and now, FIFA and UEFA are willing to give them a certain amount of financial security, which has become a "victory" in Aulas's mouth.

In addition, he is also expressing that there is nothing wrong with Platini

UEFA Secretary-General Taylor attended the meeting, which was his first time in the G14 summit, and the meeting scene was inexplicable.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Millwall, AC Milan, Bayern, these giants who make up the most glorious picture of European football, are all silent?

And Lyon, a dragon role in the European competition, even said that the French team is as small as dust in the history of the Champions League!

You know, in the history of the Champions League, there has only been one Ligue 1 team to win the title, Marseille in 93!

However, Marseille that year was written into history, and it was a shocking match-fixing case!

A page of shame for European football!

It is conceivable that Ligue 1 clubs should theoretically not have any status and voice in G14!

Then linked to the French social system, the legal system, and elitism is not allowed in the football field, the restrictiveness of this system is too strong, such as Lyon, he is not allowed to build a stadium of 60,000 people, nor is it allowed to buy big names, which all come from the French legal provisions, financial system and other factors, the French team itself is a little congenital, it doesn't matter how to play in the country, but when it comes to the European competition, it is really timid, and the team is as plain as water as Ligue 1, colorless and tasteless.

With all this in mind, Taylor's mood hit rock bottom.

There have long been rumors of a split within the G14.

It is not known what the deal is behind the scenes of the French club's support for Platini, who is also French, but it may be that Platini will promote the reform of domestic football policy, and will promote the future of France to allow elitism in the field of football, none of which matters.

The point is, don't say that a Lyon, even if the French team is all tied together, it cannot represent the real core will of G14!

Taylor's concern is that if Real Madrid president Calderón raises objections, how will the passionate Aulas end up at this time?

Does he have the courage to argue with the representatives of the Spanish giants?

How can he have the courage to unify the overall will of the G14?

After Olas introduced the main discussions of this meeting, Taylor also made some agreement on behalf of UEFA and FIFA, and then, things went more smoothly than Taylor imagined.

There were no heated arguments, no tough rebuttals from the opposition.

Representatives of the other 18 clubs, Ligue 1 teams took the lead in voting, Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille, agreed!

Ajax, PSV Eindhoven. Porto. These three representatives of the giants from the second-rate league in Europe did not dare to speak out.

This time and that time. Ten years ago, Ajax made a name for itself in Europe, and 10 years later, Ajax has become one of Europe's top marginal powerhouses.

They belong to the role of the younger brother who eats behind the eldest brother, and the top giants in G14 have not expressed their position, they dare not take sides lightly, not to mention, they really want to follow the crowd. It must not be to follow clubs like Lyon and Marseille, which is simply self-defeating!

On the England side, Carter was the first to nod, and then representatives of Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal agreed.

Rummenigge nodded, Calderón nodded, Laporta nodded, Galliani nodded

Taylor's eyes widened with an incredulous expression. I was shocked from the bottom of my heart!

So easy?

After these giants nodded their heads, there was no room for the other teams to resist.

G14 interior. The 19 clubs voted unanimously to accept the agreement between FIFA and UEFA!

Taylor had to interject: "I may not have made this agreement clear, and at the same time as signing this agreement, the G14 must announce its dissolution!" ”

No one answered him, and the giants just looked at Taylor with a tepid look, as if to say: We are not blind and deaf, what is on the agreement, we can see it, and what you just said, we can hear it!

Taylor withdrew his gaze in embarrassment, and his mood suddenly became very comfortable and happy.

G14 compromised!

UEFA and FIFA's henchmen are about to be removed!

On the wall of the conference room, there is a row of lawyers, that is the team hired by G14, to sign the agreement, it is definitely not FIFA and UEFA to take an agreement and they agree to sign it, what if there is a trap in the agreement?

So after the G14 voted to get guò in, the team of lawyers got busy and began to review the terms of the agreement.

The atmosphere in the conference room was still like a pool of stagnant water, no one was chatting with each other, everyone sat as if they had nothing to do with themselves, just waiting to leave after signing the agreement.

Lyon chairman Olas was full of ambition at this time, he saw that everyone was silent, and he was yelled at by Carter last year, at this time, he smiled and said: "There is nothing bad about UEFA's policy now, look, Liverpool and Arsenal don't get benefits?" ”

The subtext of his words is understandable to everyone.

Arsenal were able to qualify for this season's Champions League after Millwall withdrew from European competition.

If it weren't for Millwall's upset elimination in the Champions League last season, it is really hard to say whether Liverpool would have won the Champions League.

Hehe.

In response to Olas, there was only a chuckle from the representatives of many wealthy families.

Some laughter was cold, while others were clearly full of mockery.

Olas was bored with himself, and after the legal team confirmed that the agreement was in order, representatives of the clubs signed the agreement with the UEFA secretary-general.

Once the agreement had been signed, Taylor let out a sigh of relief, shook hands with the representatives of the various clubs, and then left to go outside for a press conference to announce the "historic event".

This is a UEFA victory!

And the chaos within UEFA will also disappear after this agreement comes into force and the G14 is dissolved!

Aulas and Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain's club representatives also got up and left, they wanted to show their faces, presumably, to Platini for credit.

Just after they left, the representatives of Ajax, Eindhoven, and Porto also got up and prepared to leave, they just followed the crowd, and they didn't have any personal opinions, or even if they did, but the voice was too weak, who would listen to them in the G14?

Even they are panicked, afraid of being abandoned by the G14, after all, with their competitiveness, they are really not the core strength of European football.

Just as they got up, a voice rang out.

Carter said softly, "Three, please stay, our meeting hasn't started yet." ”

The representatives of the three clubs stopped, first showed an inexplicable expression, then looked at the atmosphere of the scene, and quickly sat back in their seats.

-!

It's so weird!

The representatives of the G14 members of the four major leagues of Britain, Italy, Spain, Germany and the four major leagues have not moved!

What did Carter's words mean?

Isn't the meeting over?

What do you mean it hasn't started yet?

One minute later, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and the group walked into the conference room with their heads held high.

Walking in the middle, the leader is Aldrich, who is in a suit and leather shoes with a confident smile!

Behind him, on the left is Beckenbauer and on the right is Chelsea owner Abou!

After that, there were more than a dozen people, all of whom were representatives of well-capitalized sponsors in the European sports sector, as well as representatives of television giants!

Ajax, Eindhoven, Porto, the representatives of the three clubs were dumbfounded, and their hearts beat like thunder, and they saw that the lifeless atmosphere of the scene changed subtly with the changes in the expressions of each of the participants, because there was obvious excitement in the expressions of those representatives of the giants!

No matter how stupid people are, they all know what will happen next, and the representatives of these three clubs suddenly have a chill in their hearts.

-!

Fortunately!

Fortunately, I didn't leave with the three representatives from France!

Aldrich walked to the top of the conference table and pulled the boss's chair, unbuttoned his suit jacket, sat down naturally, moved forward, straightened his waist, smiled, and tapped his right hand on the table like a knock on the table twice.

Dangdang

"Gentlemen, let us now get down to business." (To be continued......)
