The European Football Club Summit? What is that?

This was the first thought that popped into Zhuang Mingge's mind after receiving Van Praag's invitation.

Wait, just now Van Praag said that this meeting is a continuation of the topic that was not agreed before? How come we in Florence were not invited?

After listening to Van Praag's explanation, Zhuang Mingge learned that almost a month ago, more than ten European giants, including AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern, Ajax, etc., held a manager-level club summit. The main topic of discussion at that meeting was how the big clubs could better protect their own interests in the face of increasingly acute conflicts with UEFA and other parent institutions after the Boseman era.

Although Fiorentina rose strongly last season, it was obviously not enough to see in front of these giants with a glorious history, so the manager summit did not invite representatives of Fiorentina FC to attend.

However, the meeting did not achieve any substantive results, otherwise there would not have been this invitation to Zhuang Mingge.

In the words of the general manager of one of the clubs who attended the meeting: "The topic to be discussed at this meeting is too important, and as club managers at the level of general manager, we do not have enough authority to make any decisions in this regard alone." ”

This time Zhuang Mingge was invited to participate in this level of meeting is actually stained with the light of Ajax and Inter Milan, the two friendly clubs, Boss Mo did not hesitate to propose to expand the number of Italian representatives in the boss's summit when he learned that only three clubs in Serie A, which is the first in Europe, attended the manager's summit, and the Premier League, which was still struggling, was able to send a group of down-and-out giants including Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa to participate in that meeting. And the first thing that Boss Mo recommended was Florence, which had the most relationship with him.

Seeing Inter Milan's statement, Juventus and AC Milan, which are also Italian teams, naturally did not go up and openly dismantle the stage, but recommended several Serie A teams that have also performed well in recent years, such as Parma, Sampdoria and so on.

Van Praag, the Ajax club that initiated and hosted the summit, was naturally quite willing to pull Fiorentina, a club that is quite friendly to him, into this meeting, after all, in this kind of meeting, an extra ally often has an unexpected effect.

The giants of several other major leagues are also very dissatisfied with the Premier League teams that occupy multiple seats in the manager's meeting, and only Arsenal and Manchester United have been able to win in the Premier League in Europe over the years, and second-rate teams such as Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa still have the face to participate in meetings at this level, and do you still take us seriously?

Under this mentality, Moratti's proposal will naturally not be blocked by giants other than the English team, and the proposal to expand the size of the meeting was successfully passed.

"It is a pleasure to be invited to this meeting, I will be in Amsterdam on time for the day of the meeting, thank you very much for your kind invitation, President Van Praag." Although I don't know whether it was because Florence was selected to participate in this conference convened by European giants, Zhuang Mingge knew in his heart that with Florence's current accumulation, it would not be able to gain much say in a meeting at this level, and the only benefit was to see if he could take advantage of the conflicts of interest and contradictions between these traditional giants to seek some benefits for Florence.

……

At Amsterdam International Airport, Van Praag, the president of the Ajax Club, stood at the exit of the airport with a focused expression, ready to greet a "VIP" he had been waiting for for a long time.

As the host of the European Club Owners' Summit, the Ajax Club at this time attracted countless attention from all Shijie, which is undoubtedly an honor for the former European giants Ajax, which has shown the image of the twilight of the sunset.

Van Praag himself, for his part, would rather not want this kind of false glory, and he did not want this momentous European club owners' summit to be held in Amsterdam, where Ajax is based. After all, there is an old saying that a gun shoots a bird, and holding such a gathering in Amsterdam that is clearly against UEFA, Ajax, the "first bird", is likely to be the first to be hit by the enraged UEFA.

However, Van Praag was powerless to change the resolution, even though he himself was the initiator of the summit.

After all, in order to get out of the various crises facing the club as soon as possible, Van Praag must tie the crumbling Ajax to this traditional European giant as soon as possible

"Chariot of Interests". Therefore, more than a month ago, Ajax took the lead in proposing to convene a summit of European giants. However, Van Praag knew in his heart that his proposal was completely in line with the real thoughts of those European giants, who just put on a hit and hit it off.

Van Praag, who played a conspiracy, had to sigh in the face of a decision that he was powerless to change, and these wealthy and wealthy bosses were really not so easy to fool.

To Van Praag, the new president of Ajax who took office at a time of crisis, is relieved and helpless, in this common interest group of European giants that is about to take shape, Ajax, which has gradually moved away from the reality of European giants, is only regarded as a high-level supporting role that is willing to be driven, and those real "protagonists" among them have protected themselves well in the new division of interests after this football storm.

In the heart of the Ajax president, although the Fiorentina represented by Zhuang Mingge does not have enough say in European football, judging from the rapid development momentum after the club changed owners, the purple lily will definitely have a place in this community of interests in the near future! This is one of the reasons why Weishenme Van Praag is trying to make a good deal with Fiorentina, after all, it is better to give charcoal in the snow than to put the icing on the cake.

At that time, Ajax, as a "senior supporting actor" in this league, can also rely on the friendly relationship with Fiorentina to gain more benefits in the future, instead of being kicked out of the circle by those bigwigs.

"Oh, Chairman Corleone, it's an honor to see you again! Welcome to Amsterdam! Van Praag had just come back from his thoughts and found that the target he had come to meet had appeared in front of him.
