There is a saying in European football: the lower limit of youth training and the upper limit of stars.

This is the experience accumulated over many years.

Everyone knows that football stars cannot be cultivated simply by relying on youth training, because talent has always been a scarce commodity, which can be met but not sought.

Throughout the ages, it is often extremely rare for any team to be able to produce stars in batches.

It's like the Milan dynasty, Van Gaal's Ajax, or Yang Hao's La Masia in his previous life.

Like Real Madrid's Five Eagles era, it is said that it is five consecutive championships in La Liga, invincible, but it is difficult to achieve results in the Champions League.

As the top competition in world football at the moment, the intensity of the Champions League is difficult to match in domestic leagues.

Even in a fiercely competitive league like La Liga, apart from those few strong conversations, the intensity of the game is still not as strong as the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

Yang Hao was even thinking that if Barcelona in the previous life had not had the chance to meet Messi, perhaps they would have been born in the Five Eagles era of Real Madrid, and it would be impossible to reach the level of the universe team in the previous life.

The more you understand football, the more you can appreciate the importance of superstars like Messi, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo.

But this conventional wisdom in European football has been shattered in recent years.

Because there is a team that is constantly subverting conventional wisdom.

That's Atletico!

The biggest stimulus that the Sheets have brought to European football over the years is that they seem to be able to produce stars in batches.

Mahada Hongda's star is like a leek in the garden, cutting a stubble, and it doesn't take long for another stubble to grow.

Everyone was shocked because there had never been a team like Atletico Madrid.

They began to study Atletico Madrid frantically, and even deduced all kinds of theories and formulas to study why Atletico could do it.

Many fans poached people everywhere in Atletico Madrid, and some employees of Atletico Madrid also brought some of their own experiences and experiences after working for a period of time, as if they were selling success studies, and they were sought after by many teams.

Everyone wants to replicate Atletico's success.

But, until now, no second successful Atletico team has been seen.

Not even a bud.

Someone asked Yang Hao, why can't anyone else make it?

Yang Hao said with a smile that Atletico Madrid never relies on one person, but on the team.

This is true for the players, it is the same for the coaches and even more so for the clubs.

But only he knows in his heart that these are all nonsense!

Why is Atletico successful?

This is a secret that Yang Hao will never be able to tell anyone!

But that doesn't stop Atletico from being like a mountain standing there for the rest of European football to look up to.

Every club, every single one wants to study Atletico and find the secret to success.

Only the core team members of Atletico Madrid, after years of contact, and countless reviews of successes and failures, have vaguely grasped a little clue.

Yang Hao!

Every success of Atletico Madrid does come from the team, but behind the team, it is often inseparable from Yang Hao's promotion and decision-making, from the youth training reform and management system reform of the year, to the globalization strategy, to the present......

All of this is inseparable from Yang Hao's decision-making!

But these can only be felt by those who are now in key positions in various departments.

Because they have been in contact with Yang Hao.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Hao's influence spreads to every corner of Atletico Madrid and falls on everyone.

……

The season is over.

At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Arsene Wenger's Real Madrid beat the Red Devils 2-0 with a clean 2-0 victory.

Arsene Wenger finally got his wish to win the Champions League of his dreams!

On that night, Arsene Wenger burst into tears at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

In an interview with media reporters, Wenger's choking caused countless fans around the world to be infected.

He has been pursuing it all his life, and finally got his hands on it!

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace and became Real Madrid's best star in the final.

Florentino is also very excited, this is his first Champions League title since taking charge of Real Madrid!

It has been 9 years since he became president of Real Madrid!

It took him 9 years to win his first Champions League!

Florentino even came off the pitch himself to celebrate with the Real Madrid players.

Yang Hao didn't go to Rome to watch the game, but he felt the excitement from the sworn enemy in the same city.

Yesterday, when Real Madrid returned to Madrid with the Champions League in hand, the whole city was boiling.

After the end of La Liga and the Champions League, it will be the Confederations Cup for the national team.

Spain drew South Africa, Iraq and New Zealand, and the draw was good, but it was not too difficult to qualify.

Yang Hao gave the players a week of rest, and then the team will travel to South Africa for final preparations.

And he also needs to take this opportunity to do something well.

It's not just Atletico's, it's others.

……

"This is a list of reinforcements for this summer's academy that our scouting department and the academy have drawn up together."

Mendiodo and Caminero came to Yang Hao's office together.

This list includes the reinforcements of the second team and the youth echelon.

Now, Yang Hao is actually rarely involved in the recruitment of the academy.

It's not that he's lazy, it's that Atletico Madrid's ecological niche is different now.

Recruitment, especially for the academy, is not blindly greedy, nor is it blindly piling up those stars in the future.

An important point is, is this player suitable for Atletico's current style of football?

Also, what age group will he enter when he comes to Atletico, and will he be able to get enough opportunities and training in this age group?

For example, Lewandowski.

As soon as the Polish player born in 1988 became famous in the Polish League, Atletico Madrid's scouting network paid attention to him, and Yang Hao also got the news, but there was no way, Atletico Madrid had Suarez.

For a team like Atletico, there must be at least three quality centre-forwards in the front line, which is to prevent some injuries and substitutes in the game.

A configuration like Atletico's current one is actually very good.

Drogba and Torres rotated and competed, with Suarez coming off the bench.

Suarez also played a lot of minutes and scored goals in La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey last season.

In another two years, Drogba will grow old, and Suarez will go straight to the top.

At this time, Atletico Madrid need to strengthen another center forward.

So what if Lewandowski is signed at this time?

To sell Drogba, it is up to the young Suarez and Lewandowski, which is somewhat insufficient.

If it is not sold, then the 4 center forwards will be affected by their playing time.

Therefore, it is not a simple matter of recruiting and buying people, and it is a matter of buying whoever you like.

But there will be exceptions.

For example, Neymar.

Atletico have been eyeing the Brazilian phenom since he came to prominence, but Neymar's father is shrewd.

"Most of the European giants are eyeing him, and he is not in a hurry at all now, and he feels a little waiting to be sold." Mendiodo shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

The Brazilian player will not be able to leave the country until he is 18 years old, and Neymar is now only 17 years old, at least until next summer.

Therefore, Neymar and his son are now strange goods.

Yang Hao was not surprised.

In the list they submitted, Yang Hao also saw several familiar names.

The French midfielder, who plays for the Under-17s of Ligue 1 vice-captain Le Havre this season, Paul Pogba.

Now Yang Hao has developed the kung fu of being moody, even when he sees Pogba's name, his face is as usual, and he chats with Mendiodo and Caminero about the young midfielder very casually.

At the same time, he also looked up some of Pogba's game videos and scouting reports in the database.

Pogba was discovered by Atletico Madrid's scouts during the France Under-16s and does not currently have a professional contract with Le Havre.

Le Havre have also been relegated from Ligue 1 this season.

'We've been with him for a long time and he's got a lot of potential, from a young age to a young age, and he's shown to stand out from the crowd at all ages, not only physically but also with great technique at his feet.

"However, the trouble is that many big teams, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Real Madrid, are very fond of him."

"Both of us have come to the house in person and talked to his parents, but they haven't made a decision yet, and Ferguson is said to have stepped in personally."

Speaking of which, both Mendiodo and Camino looked up at Yang Hao.

Yang Hao sensed what they meant.

Ferguson himself went out on his own, and the two of them definitely couldn't handle it.

If Yang Hao also comes out in person, it will be more likely to snatch Paul Pogba.

For Pogba, his strength is undoubted, but he is far from meeting the expectations of the outside world in Yang Hao's previous life.

It's all because he chose to return to Manchester United after he left Manchester United.

In those years, Manchester United was in a turbulent period, and the management had serious problems in both recruitment and team management.

As Yang Hao said just now, youth training is the lower limit, and the star is the upper limit, this is the consensus.

But in those years, a lot of Manchester United's strange practices were strange.

It is inconceivable that a superstar of Pogba's caliber should not be reused in the Manchester United team and not be able to play in the position he does best.

Let's just say that Messi's goals have skyrocketed this season, and Atletico Madrid's attacking firepower has skyrocketed, why?

Many people may say that Messi has matured and improved.

Yes, it's not entirely true.

In the final analysis, the key factor is that Yang Hao is now fixing Messi at the front of the big penalty area.

Both Kaka and Alves are adapting to Messi's style of play.

Picking up the ball in this area, Messi was able to maximise his threat.

Therefore, Messi often only needs to put all his energy into one thing in Atletico Madrid's offensive system.

Take the ball near the penalty area, get the ball and attack the penalty area.

That's what Messi does best.

Conversely, Messi's playmaking and passing skills are also very strong, right?

What if he is brought back to play as a playmaker in midfield?

He stayed away from the big penalty area, isn't this just exposing Messi's shortcomings?

In this case, can Messi still show such a performance as he is now?

Teams and stars often complement each other.

Messi's outstanding performance is inseparable from the team, and the team needs Messi to play his individual ability and create a threat in the penalty area.

What Manchester United did with Pogba was to keep Pogba away from his most threatening and best role, and to play a role that he was not so good at.

This, coupled with a series of other messy things, led to Pogba's complete ruin at Manchester United.

So what is Pogba's strength?

Among the attacking midfielders of the post-90s, they are the top three in the world.

No matter how it is arranged, there will be a Pogba position.

"You make arrangements, I'll take a trip." Yang Hao agreed to the request of Mendiodo and others.

After a pause, he added, "It's better to be these two days." ”

Both Mendiodo and Caminero smiled in agreement.

……

Not all young players will want to join Atletico.

For example, Raphael Varane, the best centre-back in the Lens Under-16 youth team that won the French Under-16 Championship last season.

The centre-back rejected Atletico on the grounds that he had no intention of playing abroad and was still studying.

What a top student!

Mendiodo told Yang that the scouting team would also keep a close eye on Varane's movements.

The reason for trying to sign Varane is that the second team needs a centre-back at the moment.

"Central defender ......"

Yang Hao seized the words of Mendiodo and Caminero, entered the database, and soon found a person in the Eredivisie, Willem II's U17 youth team.

Virgil van Dijk!

The future world No. 1 centre-back is now messing up badly, one might even say very badly.

He joined Willem II in 2001 from a club in Breda and, at youth level, was short and not very fast, playing as a striker and occasionally as a right wing-back.

Due to his poor family, he has always been relatively thin, which has made his presence at Willem II always bad, and he has not yet had a professional contract, and has always been an academy player.

So on weekdays, he had to do some part-time jobs to supplement his family.

Because of this, his training was often delayed, and his situation in the Willem II Academy was not very good.

But from the age of 17, his body has grown rapidly taller.

This has made him look thinner and fixed in the centre-back.

"Are you optimistic about him?" Both Mendiodo and Caminero were puzzled.

This is a player that even Atletico scouts don't pay attention to, just collecting information about him.

'I watched a little bit of Willem II's Under-17 game footage and the kid didn't have any impressive performances, and he wasn't an official defender, he used to play as a striker.

"It's good to play as a striker." Yang Hao said with a smile.

"Playing as a striker proves that the technique at his feet is excellent, Thiago Silva is not playing at the back, in addition, he has African ancestry, and his body looks very thin now, but he is certainly not slow to practice, and the strength confrontation is not bad, this is not a big problem, plus the skill and awareness of the frontcourt, you think about it."

Mendiodo and Caminero agree on this.

The body can really be trained very quickly, especially the body with African ancestry, which is simply not too strong.

In Yang Hao's previous life, the reason why Van Dijk was considered a late bloomer was that he was a halfway monk.

At the age of 18, he switched to central defenders, but he was denied the opportunity to go to Groningen.

He only played in the main team at Groningen at the age of 20, went to the Soviet Premier League at the age of 22, and went to Southampton in the Premier League at the age of 24.

The so-called late bloomer is more compared to talented defenders like Ramos and Kompany.

But on the flip side, if Kompany hadn't left Hamburg for the Olympics in 2008 and joined Manchester City, would he have been buried with the sinking of Hamburg?

"To be honest, I quite like this kind of defender who is halfway home, with good skills at his feet, excellent personal ability, and if he carves well, he will definitely have a chance!" Yang Hao said with a smile.

Mendiodo and Caminero thought about it and were also persuaded by Yang Hao.

They do trust Yang Hao's vision, and Van Dijk is indeed cheap now.

For Atletico, it's almost negligible.

……

Yang Hao has a youth training report from youth director Manolo Jimenez on hand.

In this report, Jimenez summarises some of the main situations and problems in Atletico's academy in all age groups in the past period, and it is mentioned that in the age group of 14 to 17, Atletico's right wing-back has obvious shortcomings.

The youth training director told Yang Hao that judging from the current situation of Atletico Madrid's first team, Daniel Alves is in 1983 and Zabaleta is in 1985, but the former is the main force and the latter is the substitute.

Zabaleta is good, but it is still not enough to meet the main requirements of Atletico.

Overall, Daniel Alves was in his prime until around 2015, when he was 32 years old.

And at this point in time, there is no suitable candidate for the Atletico Madrid academy.

Originally, the team wanted to dig Carvajal, he was 92 years old, and around 2015, he could just take the position of Alves, and he was a local youth training with great potential.

But Carvajal was given a head start by Real Madrid.

Ashraf Hakimi was born in 1998 and was only 17 years old in 2015, which is still too young.

As a result, Manolo Jimenez suggested that the scouting team should start looking for right wing-backs in this age group.

That's part of the youth manager's job.

Yang Hao handed the report to Mendiodo and Caminero, and asked the two to prepare well.

He couldn't help but think of one thing, which is that in the next few years, there will indeed be a shortage of talent at right wing-back.

This was a common problem in European football at the time.

Attacking tactics at full-backs are all the rage, and good right wing-backs are really nervous at this age.

Atletico's current tactical style of play is very stable and will stick to it for the foreseeable future, only making minor changes in this framework, so full-backs are still very important.

Both Mendiodo and Caminero understood what Yang Hao meant.

"We'll keep an eye out for it and come up with a list as soon as possible."

Yang Hao nodded and asked them to hurry up.

After sending off the two key members of the scouting department, Yang Hao also put down the work at hand, walked to the window, and looked at the training ground outside, but his mind was no longer here.

Atletico have been brewing something these days.

Or rather, a couple of things.

After Atletico Madrid was "hacked" out of the Champions League by UEFA, Yang Hao did not make any other unnecessary moves except for refusing to participate in the post-match press conference in protest.

Atletico Madrid appealed on Yang Hao's red card, but it was dismissed.

After that, it was calm, and everyone felt that Atletico seemed to accept the result.

But is it really the case?

Everyone knew in their hearts that Drogba's red card was normal and that the Ivorians did have a brain draw.

After the game, he himself admitted to Yang Hao that he was indeed very annoyed by Vidic's staring, and in a fit of anger, after being provoked by Vidic's words, he subconsciously took action.

But Yang Hao's red card is absolutely wronged.

In the past few years, especially in the last three or four years, as La Liga has become more and more dominant in the Champions League, UEFA has become more and more targeted at La Liga.

Don't look at Platini at every turn, how Atletico Madrid is, what to learn from Atletico Madrid, in fact?

This guy is notoriously honey-bellied!

Everyone thinks he is a fan of Atletico Madrid, but when it comes to Atletico Madrid, it is not soft.

It's been a few years, is Atletico Madrid's luck in the draw?

Was the draw for the Spanish national team any luckier?

Have La Liga teams been wronged less in European football over the years?

But it's useless!

Since the disbandment of the G14, Platini has reached the peak of his momentum with a resounding victory, and UEFA is now his word for it.

Yang Hao jumped out at this time, what could he say?

The referee said that he felt that Yang Hao was scolding him.

In the end, didn't it become Liuzi to prove how many bowls of noodles he had eaten?

Besides, what's the use of tossing a referee?

Whether it's Yang Hao or Atletico Madrid, what can you do if you jump out and shout a few words?

For UEFA, the big deal is that the referee misjudges, and the penalty should be punished!

What to do after you can, and how to do it.

Teams such as the Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 will not find this problematic.

Suppressing La Liga will benefit them a lot in the short term.

Even for many Premier League teams, if Atletico jumped too much and were directly banned for a long time, then they must be happy.

The best thing is to ban Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia in La Liga.

Teams such as Sevilla, Villarreal and Deportivo La Coruna were also banned.

Then the Champions League and the League Cup will be "intense"!

La Liga is by no means vegetarian either.

Especially now Atletico.

With the appeal and influence of the Sheets Army within La Liga, coupled with UEFA's "special care" of La Liga over the past few seasons, it would be absolutely false for La Liga teams to say that they have no opinion on UEFA.

After playing in the Champions League semi-finals, Yang Hao communicated with Cerezo, Little Hill, and the heads of various departments of the club, and swallowed this breath for the time being, but Cerefzo began to secretly contact teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, Villarreal and Deportivo La Coruna.

Today, right in the heart of Madrid, at the headquarters of La Liga, the Board of Directors is in full swing.

The 20 La Liga and 22 La Liga teams, as well as the big names of La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation, including President Bilal, were all present at the meeting.

There was only one agenda item for this meeting, which was to negotiate the abolition of a previous agreement of understanding between La Liga and UUEFA.

In the eyes of the fans, it should be a trivial little thing.

It's not a strike, so what's the use?

But once it passes, it will set off a huge wave in the whole of European football.

Atletico Madrid had a number of people present, in addition to the president Cerezo and general manager Junior Hill, marketing director Carlos Leao and the legal team.

Over the past few years, Atletico's team of lawyers have been studying and facilitating this meeting.

Yang Hao was very patient, sitting in the office and waiting silently.

UEFA has never been clean, and Platini's crackdown on the big four leagues has been evident since he came to power.

But the Champions League cake is so fat that many teams dare not speak out against UEFA.

Especially after the G14 was leveled, UEFA covered the sky with one hand and became more arrogant.

The suppression of La Liga has become a very obvious fact.

In this case, La Liga should unite and unite with the outside world!

In Yang Hao's previous life, Real Madrid and Barcelona could not unite La Liga at all.

But now it's different, and today's La Liga has a foundation of unity.

The league is fundamental, we can do without the Champions League!

But the question is, can the Champions League do without La Liga?

Just as Yang Hao was waiting patiently, the mobile phone he put on his desk suddenly rang.

Caller ID: Little Hill.

As soon as it was connected, it was little Hill who calmly said three words, "Passed!" ”

……

The official announcement of La Liga quickly caused a major earthquake in European football.

The organisation, which has become increasingly influential in La Liga in recent years, has announced that it will consider rescinding the agreement of understanding with UEFA on the arrangement of the tournament after the consent of its 42 directors.

"Yes, we signed the agreement before, but after a period of coordination, it has had a very big impact on our La Liga domestic leagues, cups and national team matches, and we are re-examining whether it is necessary to continue with this understanding."

"As part of European professional football, we will continue to support and cooperate with UEFA, but as managers of La Liga and La B, we have to look out for the interests of the 42 teams in La Liga and La Liga, as well as the Spanish fans."

La Liga's press officer announced the result at a press conference, saying that it was by no means La Liga playing against UEFA, but that the European competition had indeed seriously affected the Spanish professional league.

What are the specific impacts?

"The Copa del Rey is the most important traditional competition in our country, but over the years we have been accommodating to European competitions, which has led to them having to compress the Copa del Rey very hard, and the format has been adjusted and changed.

"There has been a lot of disagreement among our fans at home, and the sponsors have been protesting the same, and we have agreed that we need to rethink the schedule."

This official announcement of La Liga quickly detonated UEFA football.

The so-called agreement of understanding on the arrangement of the tournament is, to put it bluntly, a requirement put forward by UEFA to its subordinate associations, that no domestic matches shall be arranged on the match days of the Champions League and the League Cup.

The biggest disagreement on this agreement is the Premier League.

There are two cup competitions in the Premier League, with the FA Cup always scheduled on weekends due to tradition.

In order to accommodate European competition, the Premier League has to stretch the schedule longer.

But over the years, everyone has been looking at the interests of the Champions League, always compromising and accommodating UEFA.

But now, La Liga has come out and said that we have to reconsider!

Will the Premier League follow?

And the most amazing thing is that the press officer of La Liga also put forward a point to the point, "The signing of such an understanding agreement ensures the broadcast revenue of UEFA events, but the impact on domestic competitions of various countries has not been paid attention to at all." ”

The press officer also said very seriously that this is the unanimous decision of the 42 directors of La Liga!

"We have a preliminary understanding of the relevant rules and will then hire a team of professional lawyers to start researching the rules and regulations to ensure that the procedures are carried out in accordance with EU law and Spanish domestic law."

The implication is that labor and management don't care about UEFA now, and I just want to talk to you about the law.

As long as I don't break the law, what can you do to me?

……

As soon as the official announcement of La Liga came out, it immediately caused a heated discussion, and the entire European football world was in an uproar.

Everyone realizes that La Liga is in conflict with UEFA!

And the fuse was that Atletico Madrid was "hacked" out of the Champions League semifinals.

At the same time, the British Sun revealed that the G14 giants club, which announced its dissolution in 08, began to move again, not only has a tendency to reorganize, but may even further expand the army.

"Atletico have always refused to participate in the G14 in the past, but now, the Sheets Army have run out of patience with UEFA!"

In addition to Atletico, Villarreal, Sevilla and other teams in the upper middle of the five major leagues are likely to receive invitations.

"More and more big clubs are well aware that UEFA is becoming more and more domineering, and many Premier League teams have protested against Platini's approach, because UEFA has demanded a thorough investigation of the club's financial situation, but they have never made UEFA financial situation public."

"With so much money in the Champions League every year, where does UEFA spend all the money except for the money distributed to the clubs? Why do you never dare to disclose your financial situation to the public? ”

Platini's fiscal health bill has had the biggest impact on Premier League teams, and it is also the most vocal.

Now, the fire is lit, and it is well founded.

It's a good thing that you Platini have to thoroughly investigate the finances of all the clubs, yes, but who will thoroughly investigate the finances of your UEFA club?

When the two fires of La Liga and G14 were ignited, Yang Hao participated in the program of Spanish Radio Serre, the famous host de la Morena, and was interviewed.

In the interview, Yang Hao spoke openly about the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at Old Trafford.

"After the game, a lot of people told me, forget it, don't talk about it, and come back next season, but this incident made me very unhappy, and it was arguably the most unhappy thing I've been coaching for years."

"I feel like they're challenging my IQ, and I can see what's going on, no matter how stupid I am."

"Someone, don't want us to play in the Champions League final!"

De la Morena had a very close personal relationship with Yang Hao, and asked very cooperatively, "The official said that it was a miscalculation." ”

"That's an excuse!" Yang Hao refuted without hesitation.

"It's not a matter of a day or two, it's not even a year or two, you can look back and look back at what we've been in the Champions League over the years, how many times have we been in the Group of Death?"

"How many times did the speculation that preceded the draw turn out to be a reality? I would venture to say that we have the most difficult European schedule every season, as if this season, not only the Group of Death, but also the end of November, in the snow, we have to go to Ukraine. ”

"How many times have we had a schedule like this? How many miscalculations have we encountered? Why did I just stand on the sidelines and protest, which would cause the referee to misjudge and give me a red card? ”

"Interested people can take a look at the surprised look on the fourth official, he told me that this should not be punished at all, and it is even less likely to be a red card, but the impossible thing is that it happened, why?"

"Everyone has common sense, just think about it."

Yang Hao is also very helpless about this, because not everyone will recognize Atletico Madrid.

"I know, when I stand up and say this, many people will think that these are all excuses, in the final analysis, it is that you Atletico Madrid are not strong enough, you don't have enough strength advantages, you will be defeated by a little accident......"

"It's okay, I told my players that all the setbacks that can't be defeated will only make us stronger, and we will use our strength to prove whether we have such qualifications!"

"Of course, they can punish me harder, otherwise, I will definitely get it back!"

……

Yang Hao's long-pent-up anger finally erupted at this moment.

Mixed with the official announcement of La Liga and the rumors of G14's resurrection, Yang Hao's bombardment pushed UEFA to the forefront in an instant.

Atletico Madrid, as the most powerful team in European football in the past few years, and Yang Hao, as the most influential head coach in world football, have attracted the attention of fans all over the world with their every move, word and deed.

Now, Yang Hao has publicly bombarded UEFA, which has greatly shocked the media and fans around the world.

Public opinion erupted all at once.

The New York Times quickly reposted the series of news reports, saying that it was the biggest news in European football in recent years.

It is a fact that authoritative American media believe that Atletico Madrid suffered unfair treatment in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

"The team coached by Yang Hao has been under the pressure of the devil's schedule over the years, and this time he has completely picked up the shady scene."

"Although Yang Hao didn't say it explicitly, everyone knows that he is targeting UEFA!"

According to the analysis of the New York Times, UEFA has adopted a model of dividing the cake.

La Liga is strong, so he will suppress La Liga and support the Premier League; After a few years, when the Premier League is strong, it will suppress the Premier League and support La Liga...... And so on.

Platini has been feeding back to small and medium-sized countries since he came through the small and medium-sized national vote, so every year many teams from small and medium-sized countries will benefit from UEFA.

"There have even been rumours that there is always a draw line to ensure that clubs in small and medium-sized countries advance to the knockout stages of the Champions League or even the quarter-finals."

"This has been well known for the past few years."

"And now, La Liga is too strong, they have dominated European competition for many years, which makes UEFA realize that La Liga must be properly suppressed to avoid the Champions League falling into a situation where La Liga is a standstill."

"This has created this awkward situation."

The New York Times believes that this is not in the interests of the Atletico family, and now the front is gradually expanding, and the disbanded G14 may be resurrected, which will seriously affect the interests of UEFA and even FIFA.

In 2006, it was the G14 that took advantage of the pressure of public opinion to file a lawsuit with UEFA, demanding that FIFA compensate for the losses caused by the unpaid use of international players by major clubs by the national team in the past 10 years, amounting to 860 million euros.

In the end, G14 won.

But in 2008, the G14, targeted by Platini, announced its dissolution and was replaced by the European Football Club Association.

"It has been revealed that once the time is ripe to restructure the G14, many La Liga giants, including Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona, as well as other European football giants, may announce their withdrawal from the European Football Club Association."

"This will inevitably further weaken UEFA's influence!"

According to the analysis of the New York Times, the root cause of this farce lies in UEFA's suppression of Atletico Madrid and La Liga, as well as the opacity of its own income and expenditure, including the huge income distribution of the Champions League every year, and UEFA has never given a clear and transparent financial statement.

"The big teams in Europe, the anger against UEFA has been burned!"

It can be said that in European football, there is no big team that will like UEFA.

Now, it's true that La Liga is strong, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona are strong, but what about the future?

Feng Shui takes turns, who knows what will happen in the future?

Today, UEFA can crush La Liga and Atletico Madrid, but what about tomorrow?

Other leagues, other clubs can be short-sighted, they can watch the jokes of Atletico Madrid and La Liga, but if they continue to be ruled like this, if they have problems in the future, will they also want to cry without tears?

Now that UEFA is in complete control of the Champions League, will UEFA use the Champions League to replace the major leagues?

Don't say there's no such possibility.

The Champions League used to be called the Champions Cup, a cup competition.

What now?

It's called the UEFA Champions League, and you see, it's a league.

Yang Hao even saw a proposal in his previous life, which was put forward by the European Club Association, hoping to restructure and expand the Champions League, and the game was scheduled to be held on the weekend.

This is the ecological niche that wants to replace the leagues of each country!

As long as UEFA continues to be so strong, as long as the interests of the Champions League are so big that the major giants can't give up, then it's not UEFA that has the final say?

The New York Times concluded that the controversy is difficult to reach a conclusion in a short period of time and is bound to be protracted.

UEFA's monopoly and black-box operation will surely provoke more and more protests from leagues and giant teams.

"When that time comes, it will inevitably be an all-out war!"

As for the current fire lit by La Liga and Atletico Madrid, it is just the beginning.

Even the German Kicker magazine wrote a commentary arguing that Atletico's experience in the Champions League semi-finals was truly unbelievable, which undermined the authority of the Champions League, not only to Atletico Madrid, but also to the Champions League and UEFA itself.

"In the past, people always liked to discuss the shady scenes of the Champions League, but now, in the semi-finals of the Champions League, such an obvious and malicious 'miscalculation' is more like further proof of the existence of shady scenes."

"UEFA should take the initiative to disclose more of its operating mechanisms and increase its transparency, so as to win more recognition from clubs, fans and the media."

Originally, I considered putting this UEFA paragraph in the previous chapter, but after careful consideration, I still chose to put it off, mainly because there is no way to say that this kind of thing will be immediately action, and it will take some time to operate under the table. In addition, in the last chapter, I deliberately put the La Liga championship together, hoping to dilute everyone's unhappiness with the Champions League knockout round later in the chapter. These are my real considerations, and I don't know if it's right or not, so everyone understands and forgives me! In addition, I also thought a lot about La Liga's use of the schedule to knock UEFA, mainly in terms of clubs and leagues, there is really no way to check and balance UEFA, I checked a lot of information, I think the schedule can be used, after all, the arrangement of domestic matches on European match days will have an impact on the broadcast of European competitions, so UEFA has always signed similar agreements with national leagues. If you think there is something unreasonable, try to bring it up, thank you, thank you!
