Chapter 617: Game (5)

That's right, Zhuang Mingge made such a big detour, just to persuade Beckenbauer, who is a close ally of Johansson, to push him to the throne of UEFA president!

There is no way, Platini's fame in European football is too great, which has invisibly accumulated a lot of popularity for the Frenchman; And for Platini, who began to gradually enter the political arena after retiring from the army, he naturally attracted a group of his supporters through various means in the process of work. The combination of these two advantages is definitely not comparable to Olsen, who has been working for Johansson at UEFA!

Without these connections, Platini would not have been able to defeat the respected Johansson in the UEFA presidential election that year and become the new UEFA president.

Therefore, in order to fight against the ambitious Platini, Zhuang Mingge must find a more weighty character!

In terms of the historical status of European football, there are only a few players who can compare with Platini, such as Cruyff of the Netherlands, Di Stefano of Spain, Beckenbauer of Germany, and ...... of Italy Ahem, when I didn't say it.

However, Cruyff's unruly personality made many people shy away from him, so he first passed; Di Stefano is more suitable for Real Madrid than a Spaniard, and he has no experience in governing bodies such as the Football Association, so his actual work ability is unknown, so he is clearly not the right person; Only Beckenbauer was not only an international superstar in his playing days, but also a standout figure in the two professions of coaching and management, and he surpassed Platini in everything...... Therefore, Beckenbauer, who is now sitting in front of Zhuang Mingge, is naturally the best choice.

In fact, in Zhuang Mingge's original world, Johansson also planned to let Beckenbauer take his place at the beginning, but it was a pity that the football emperor at that time was full of confidence after successfully holding the 06 World Cup and wanted to challenge Blatter's throne, and the result was that Johansson's family not only did not win the position of FIFA president, but also lost his European hometown.

"Well, Antonio, I promise you!" After thinking for a long time, Beckenbauer finally nodded and agreed to Zhuang Mingge's proposal, "I think that if I don't agree, then no one in UEFA will be able to stand up and take on this important responsibility!" ”

……

By the time Beckenbauer and Zhuang Mingge came out of the room, the two-hour break had been exhausted during the time they had been talking.

Seeing that the meeting was about to start, Zhuang Mingge hurriedly rushed to the venue with Karin, after all, he was not as big as Beckenbauer, and he could ignore other people's grievances and be blatantly late.

"Uri (Hoeness), what do you think of what that kid Antonio just said?" Although Beckenbauer himself thought that Zhuang Mingge's previous suggestions were very good, out of caution, he still planned to consult the opinion of the cronies around him.

"The idea is good, it has strong operability, and it's worth trying." Hoeness, who was standing behind Beckenbauer, immediately replied respectfully, "Although I don't know where he got this information, it is indeed very much in line with Havelange's usual insidious cunning. The character of unscrupulous means to achieve an end. ”

"It seems that the talent of this young man is not only in the discovery of players and business management." Beckenbauer looked at Zhuang Mingge's distant back and told Hoeness, "Uli, you have to remember my words, as long as this kid is still in the football world, then we must have a good relationship with him,"

"Good, Franz." Hoeness nodded, but soon remembered something, and said with a bitter face, "However, Coach Heathfield has asked the club to get Effenberg, how can I explain it to him?" ”

"Just tell him that Fiorentina resolutely refuse to sell their vice-captain, let him find another suitable person, and that there is not only one tiger in the top midfield." Beckenbauer replied impatiently, "Like Hasler, Andres Müller, etc...... These players are very good, don't always stare at an Effenberg, as if we can't play without a player at Bayern. ”

"Okay, then I'll tell Coach Heathfield later and ask him to re-select his target." With that, Hoeness and Beckenbauer also slowly walked towards the venue.

Not long after Zhuang Mingge returned to the conference, Van Praag announced the official start of the voting ceremony for the new members of the G14!

Although there are as many as five candidate teams, anyone with a discerning eye can see that in fact, the only one who is most qualified to be elected is Arsenal from the Premier League.

As for Feyenoord, since both Ajax and PSV Eindhoven have entered the organization, it is unlikely that the other executive committee members will agree that the Netherlands have more seats in the G14 than in the big four leagues, given the influence of the Dutch league itself; Rangers, Benfica and Lazio are limited by the fact that they have not won any heavyweight trophies in recent times, so they are also worse than Arsenal in the heavyweight division.

On the other hand, Arsenal, after Arsene Wenger entered the Arsenal, the French coach immediately led the Gunners out of the shadow of the Graham era, and led the team to win the Premier League and FA Cup double in the first season ahead of Ferguson's Red Devils Manchester United, which was unparalleled in the limelight in the United Kingdom.

Arsenal's all-time record is also impressive, with the Gunners not having the heavyweight Champions League in their honour room, but their record of 11 top-flight titles, seven FA Cups, Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Cup is quite impressive.

It is precisely because of the above comparison that many judges voted for Arsenal after some consideration.

When Van Praag announced the results, Arsenal did not have a majority of the votes, but they were the one with the most votes among the five clubs!

"Let's congratulate Arsenal! Congratulations to the new Premier League champions who have become a new member of the G14 team! Van Praag's voice resounded through the microphone, making Manchester United boss Edwards and Liverpool owner Morse excited as they sat in the judges' bench.

After such a long period of forbearance and planning, English football finally has the same voice as Italy in the G14 organization! With a little more effort, we may even be able to surpass Italy and become the biggest force in the organization!

Arsenal's boss Hillwood is also relieved at the moment, when the G14 was established, Arsenal was blocked out of the door, has always been the heart of this traditional British aristocracy, and now he can finally get rid of this shadow!

With Arsenal becoming a new member of the G14 alliance, this time the G14 General Assembly has finally come to an end!
