PS: I wish you all a happy holiday on the 11th holiday, and by the way, I asked for a recommendation ticket here, thank you......

When Beckenbauer announced his candidacy for UEFA presidency, Platini realised that his chances of becoming UEFA presidency had become extremely slim – because the Frenchman was far from a match for the "Emperor of Football" in terms of both his CV and his achievements.

There is no need to dwell on the achievements of his playing days, and in this regard, the German has won a few fewer Golden Boots and one European Ballon d'Or due to his position on the field, but he has been much more brilliant than the Frenchman in terms of collective honours - at least Beckenbauer has won the European Championship and the World Cup, and even the European Champions Cup three times in a row.

In the head coach position, Beckenbauer threw Platini out of the streets I don't know how many: a World Cup title and a World Cup runner-up were enough to embarrass Platini, who had lackluster results as head coach of the French team.

In the management position, although Beckenbauer did not work within UEFA like the Frenchman, he also made great achievements during his tenure as the president of Bayern Munich and for the German Football Association: Bayern, which was once stripped of the crown by Stuttgart, Bremen, Dortmund and other teams, can have first-class stars such as Basler and Mateus, and become the Bundesliga hegemon again, without Beckenbauer's strong personal appeal is absolutely unachievable; When German football was facing the dilemma of lack of success, it was the football emperor who stepped forward to establish a relationship with Italy, and with the help of Serie A, the world's top football league, he cultivated newcomers such as Ballack, Novotny, and Schneider, injecting a trace of fresh blood into the aging German football.

In terms of personal prestige and influence, Beckenbauer is clearly better than Platini. As long as the football emperor comes forward in person, no matter who the European countries are, they will sell each other a face; But if it were a Frenchman, it was unknown how many people would buy his account......

So, by any measure, when Beckenbauer announced his candidacy, the chances of Platini winning were slim to none.

Although the media in France are desperately building momentum for Platini's campaign, their efforts have not caused much repercussions - the Italian Football Federation has long been on the same trench as Beckenbauer because of Florence's relationship, and although the Spanish Football Federation and the FA do not have much friendship with the football emperor, they obviously will not choose to leave the original camp at this time, which was close to Johansson before; Needless to say, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland are Central European countries, and they have good relations with the German Football Association (DFB) and naturally want to support Beckenbauer, rather than a mediocre Platini.

As for the Eastern European countries led by Russia, which Platini has been trying to make friends with over the years, they also took the initiative to stand under the banner of the Johansson faction because of the good cooperative relationship between Zhuang Mingge and the Russian financial oligarchy. The most important thing is that for these financial oligarchs who use their personal financial resources to keep their clubs running, the financial fairness policy that Platini has been advocating is simply what they hate the most!

In Zhuang Mingge's view, the starting point of the financial fairness policy is indeed good, and its main purpose is to avoid those owners with strong financial resources from disrupting the order of the transfer market without authorization, and over-concentrating excellent star resources in a few clubs, so as to achieve a form of fairness; However, this policy ignores a fundamental problem, which is that the economic situation of the regions in which the clubs are located limits the development of the team.

Without the big money of the owners, clubs in small and medium-sized cities or economically disadvantaged areas will never be able to catch up with the giants who are already at the top of the pyramid. Taking Parma, which is controlled by the Tanzi family, as an example, without the large investment of Parmalat Company in the early stage, it is estimated that people will not be able to see the current milk army in the next 50 years.

As for the giants who are already famous, they can use their popularity to get huge sponsorship fees and various schemes to balance their expenses, so as to avoid UEFA's financial scrutiny.

Therefore, the fiscal fairness policy advocated by Platini only maintains the fairness of football on the surface, but in reality, this policy kills the hope of all teams located in small and medium-sized cities and economically backward areas, so that the strong will always be strong and the weak will suffer!

In this way, when the election ended, the long-awaited Beckenbauer defeated Platini with an absolute advantage and was elected as the new president of UEFA with a high vote!

With Beckenbauer's coming to power, there have been a series of personnel changes within UEFA, the most obvious of which is the membership of the new UEFA Executive Committee.

Among the 14 new executive committee members, Italy, Germany, Spain and England each won two places, and the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Sweden and Denmark each won one place, while due to Platini's defeat, France, which originally occupied a place in the UEFA executive committee, lost its only executive committee seat, and unfortunately became the only country among European football powers without an executive committee seat.

Just as Beckenbauer was successfully elected president of UEFA and the internal personnel of UEFA was reorganized, the warm-up series on Fiorentina's side finally began to get on track with the return of the main players.

After Vieri and Ronaldo returned from vacation, Fiorentina finally got rid of the dilemma of being limited to substitutes and young players in most positions, and welcomed another opponent in the warm-up game, Arsenal from the Premier League.

After Arsene Wenger took charge of the Arsenal, the Gunners' style of play changed dramatically, from the simple and brutal traditional English team of the Graham era to what is now called the most spectacular team in England by many Premier League fans!

It's just that although Wenger's arrival has brought delicate technology and advanced technical and tactical ideas to the original rough and bold Arsenal, but the city of Rome is obviously not built in a day, Arsenal's defensive five have obviously not fully adapted to this style of play, Vieira is still immature after a season of amazing, and the future King Henry of Highbury is still accumulating experience in Monaco at this time, and the Gunners are still the ice prince Bergkamp and the Dutch fast horse Ovemas at this time in the frontcourt.

So, at the Frankie Stadium, Fiorentina played with the main lineup to beat the Premier League champion team last season, Vieri and Ronaldo scored a goal each in the game, and Effenberg scored a wonderful long-range shot, leading Fiorentina to a 3-0 victory, so that all the previous questioners of Fiorentina closed their mouths!
