In the conference room, except for the representatives of the three clubs of Ajax, Eindhoven and Porto, who pretended to be calm, a little panicked or even frightened, the other delegates showed excitement, as if they were about to taste an unprecedented gluttonous feast!

The club's representatives, who knew what was coming, did not think that by participating in the meeting, they were helping Millwall.

Just how bad is the situation at Millwall?

Actually, nothing bad!

As long as they pull down their faces and bow their heads to UEFA, will UEFA be stupid enough to reject Millwall?

One qiē, all for the sake of interests, long-term stability, and the economic security of building a strong and enduring football empire in their respective countries!

Everyone was seated, and Aldrich began to speak loudly.

"For a long time, the clubs represented here have been the core of European football, and there is no need to be modest, we are European football in the eyes of the world! Without us, European football has no past, no present and no future! We are committed to the best of the game and we are working tirelessly within our respective clubs to make our teams the most visible and powerful teams on the planet! Given the course of European football over the past decade and the fraught future of the current system, we sit here today and we come to put European football back into the hands of its masters, yes, our own! ”

"Today, we're going to form the European Elite Club League here, and then we're going to form a brand new European competition ourselves! First of all, I would like to introduce the benefits of this event and the principle of distribution of benefits, if you are not interested in participating. Feel free to leave! ”

Aldrich took a clip from the staff behind him. Then there was a staff member holding a thick stack of jiàn clips. One copy was distributed to each participant.

Aldrich pulled out one of the pieces of paper and said loudly: "The overall distribution of benefits is higher than before!" This is 4.69 times higher than the overall benefits allocated to clubs in the 2006-2007 Champions League! And we are in the minority, there are 32 teams in the Champions League, and we have less than 20 teams here, so we actually distribute even more! ”

The representatives of the club present were shocked!

Is this a concept?

In the past, the benefits of the giants from the Champions League in a season were only tens of millions. This is in addition to the operating income of the club itself on match days.

Now, if calculated at 5 times, the income of the top giants from European competitions in a season may break the 200 million euro mark!

That's almost as much as the combined income of the ten relegation teams in the top league!

And this is just the income of one line of European competition.

Galiani licked his lips unconsciously, and his mouth was a little dry.

He had the same idea as many of the club representatives here: not to mention that the income can reach 5 times, even if it is 3 times, this is enough to make the club's business look new!

Such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Valencia. Clubs such as Borussia Dortmund that need huge financial revenues to turn around their finances are no longer tempting at this moment. It's about making up your mind to join no matter what!

Aldridge pulled out another piece of paper to show everyone, and said: "We are a European giant, we always spend a lot of money to bring in stars, but the stars go to international competitions and get injured, we suffer losses, no one will protect us, yes, FIFA and UEFA have signed an agreement with us now, but that agreement is simply ridiculous!" 200 million euros? F！ We buy a star to say less than 30 million, and the annual salary is at least 6 million, and in order to take care of the whole of Europe, the 200 million euros sounds like a lot, but the protection is like a drop in the bucket, now, we are independent! We protect our own interests! All members of our elite league in Europe will receive a total of at least €400 million in injury coverage each season! Any player who is injured in our own competitions will be compensated by the club! Of course, this compensation will vary depending on the value of the star, but the minimum is 500,000 euros, even if the player is a nobody. ”

Hearing this clause, the representatives of giants such as Barcelona and Real Madrid on the field are more agreeable, because they have many stars!

Of course, this also has a-for-tat connotation with the agreement provided by UEFA and FIFA to the G14!

Aldridge finally pulled out another piece of paper and said: "25% of the overall income, we will give it to UEFA, so that UEFA will be one of the organizers of the event." ”

Aldrich did not say this explicitly.

But everyone here knew it.

No matter how this league works, it is impossible to completely leave UEFA!

It's like the Premier League is independent, but the Premier League still has to be regulated by the FA!

It's just that in terms of interests, the FA has no management authority over the Premier League!

They cannot directly interfere with the principle of distribution of interests in the Bundesliga and Serie A, as the German Football Federation or the Italian Football Federation do.

Now the situation is about to be reversed!

In the past, UEFA not only accounted for the majority of revenue, but also dominated the country.

Now, it is the European elite league that accounts for the majority of the income, and UEFA is just a participating manager, doing some hard work, and the real planning and decision-making power of the event will be controlled by the league itself.

Beckenbauer appeared at the meeting, and everyone also knows that the political pattern of European football is about to usher in an earthquake!

Savvy club representatives here can already foresee that when this alliance is formed and finally announced to the public, UEFA will be on the verge of collapse, and at that time, Beckenbauer will go to UEFA with the conditions set by this alliance and usurp the throne strongly!

That's right, this is rebellion!

Relative to UEFA revenues in the past, there will certainly be a decline in the future, but it will not fall to the point where it will be difficult to survive.

This reshuffle, or revolution of European giants, is actually turning European football from a "hodgepodge" back to basics and into a real championship war!

Football in its purest form!

It is not mixed with any political factors.

Beckenbauer is not worried about the current situation, in fact, a considerable part of UEFA's fiscal revenue is used to "alleviate poverty", and the current benefit distribution plan provided by the elite league in Europe. Rather, there are more than ever.

Platini wanted to gain the support of one of the many "football weaker countries" in Europe. Not only to give them a Champions League place. Trying to get the champion teams of these small countries to go to the Champions League to play the "March tour of the group stage" will still send money similar to the "football development fund" directly to these countries.

However, the Football Association, the world is as black as a crow, who knows if the money is used for football development.

Beckenbauer is a defender of traditional football values, and he has no affection for Platini's egalitarianism, and when he returns to UEFA to fight against chaos, he will at best not be able to rise above the big clubs as he once did. But at least there will not be too many problems with the operation, and he intends to focus on the European Cup, a UEFA project, which is also inseparable from the support of European giants.

For the distribution of benefits of the new European events, after a general introduction, it is actually not complicated.

The league takes 75%, UEFA takes 25%, and of course, UEFA is also responsible for the organization, management and coordination of the event, and the operating costs are not low.

And 75% of them, most of them are given to clubs every season. A small part is used as a protection fund.

The most important part of the distribution of benefits has been introduced, and then there is a heated discussion on the competition system of the tournament and the distribution principles that correspond to the giants themselves.

Ajax. Eindhoven, Porto three club representatives did not participate in the discussion, in this link, the representatives of the giants are fighting for every inch of land, they do not have much say, on the contrary, they now can't wait to feed back the news to their own club owners, the board of directors, let them decide!

It's completely different from what I had planned!

Originally, I came to make a soy sauce and go home, but now, there is a leading brother who has risen up and promised to eat and drink spicy food and spicy food with him, are we rebelling now, or not rebelling?

In terms of the planning of the competition system, Aldrich's attitude is very resolute!

"It can't be exactly a league! No way! If it becomes a league completely, the foundation of our survival, the local league, this base camp may fall in ten years, twenty years later! We are clubs in England, Germany, Italy, etc., first and then the European giants! ”

In the original idea of the European Super League, Edwards' dream was this: simply, he would not play in the Premier League! There are 20 giants in Europe, let's play a 38-round European Super League!

There is a big problem with this scheme!

Clubs rooted in the local areas of various countries cannot leave the support of local fans and the huge influence of the local market, even if the giants are no exception!

Second, even if the biggest tournaments in Europe are the biggest competitions, avoid overly frequent encounters.

Although there is a saying that if Manchester United and Real Madrid play two games a season, people will lose interest in their games in a few years.

There is a certain theoretical support for this kind of rhetoric: aesthetic fatigue.

But it's not right in football.

The Milan derby has been N years, the England derby has also been N years, and the Spanish derby is getting more and more popular than before!

Aesthetic fatigue?

Football does not save zài fatigue!

Because even if it is two identical teams, every time they meet, the story of what happens in the game is always unpredictable!

The more pinnacle the team, the higher the possibility of unpredictable changes, and the more the direction and ending of the game are beyond everyone's imagination and reverie!

And there is only one situation that will make the outside fans not interested!

Team strength!

That's the essence.

It's like with the decline of Serie A, the attention of the Milan derby has declined, not because everyone is tired of these two teams meeting, nor because everyone can guess the result and is too lazy to watch the process, but because of one thing: these two teams are not strong!

Therefore, as long as the elite league in Europe ensures that the team itself is highly competitive, even if the giants meet every season, the attention they can receive will not decrease!

But it is not possible to play in the league and avoid excessive encounters, which is a more realistic consideration. (To be continued......)
