334 Championship Celebration! About the little bit of the knighthood [10,000 words big chapter, kneel and beg to subscribe]
When the referee blew the final whistle, the Spaniards, who had been on the sidelines for a long time, rushed into the pitch and cheered and celebrated on the pitch.
Especially the players on the court, they hugged each other in twos and threes.
4 to 2!
Spain defeated mighty Brazil to win the Confederations Cup!
The entire Ellis Park stadium was transformed into a sea of celebration.
Although it was not all Spanish fans in attendance, it did not prevent them from cheering for Spain's victory.
"Let's congratulate Spain! Congratulations to Yang Hao! ”
"After a tough race, they finally made it to the final podium."
"In five games, Spain won all five games, scored 19 goals and conceded only three."
"I have to say that with such offensive firepower and such a level of defense, Spain definitely deserves to win the championship."
"Especially considering that they are beating Argentina and Brazil, and the United States team in North America is also very good, so Spain has a lot of money to win the title."
"And in the final Confederations Cup final, Spain was on par with Brazil in terms of possession and shots, and had a slight advantage in terms of possession."
"Yang Hao has coached Spain for 3 years, and we have seen this Spain in his hands, from the chaos of 06 years to today's maturity and stability, and has won the European Cup and the Confederations Cup one after another, which makes us full of expectations for this Spain."
"Maybe they have a chance to continue to give us a good performance at next year's World Cup in South Africa."
"The Spanish players were so excited that they rushed to the sidelines and threw their manager aloft.
"As the most successful head coach in world football at the moment, Yang Hao continues to bring more surprises to everyone."
It wasn't until the officials of the organizers came to remind them that they were going to receive the award, and the Spanish internationals reluctantly let go of the head coach.
Well, when I threw it up just now, it felt really good.
Yang Hao was a little unbearable.
He's really a bit afraid of heights.
God knows if this bunch of guys will actually let go?
Then he will definitely become the first unlucky champion coach in history who is thrown into the air by his own players, and no one picks him up when he lands.
This will definitely go down in the history of world football!
He can't afford to lose this man.
……
After repacking up, Yang Hao was just about to walk to the podium when he saw Dunga walking in front of him, and he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"It was a great game!" Yang Hao smiled and stretched out his hand.
After Deng Jia heard the voice, he turned around and looked over, and saw that it was Yang Hao, not to mention how embarrassed his expression was.
He didn't win this match from start to finish.
There were a lot of back-and-forths on the field, but in reality, the Brazilian team did not play a few threatening attacks.
Dunga knew exactly what the reason was.
Spain's targeted defence has caused Brazil a lot of problems, especially against the front trident.
Dunga even has a feeling that if it weren't for Spain's tendency to attack, it would be possible to continue to defend and counterattack and keep a clean sheet against Brazil.
Of course, after the clean sheet, Spain's goals will probably be reduced a lot.
"You've won!" Deng Jia was stunned for a moment, and also stretched out his hand and shook it with Yang Hao.
This is the truth, Dunga cannot refute it.
"What I said before the game was serious, you should study it."
After speaking, Yang Hao said goodbye to Dunga.
He doesn't have the habit of falling into the ground, and he never disdains to be cynical after defeating his opponent, this is not Yang Hao's style, so he just came over to "see" Dunga.
On the contrary, it was Deng Jia who stayed directly in place, pondering the meaning of Yang Hao's words.
Yang Hao said a lot before the game, which ones were serious? Which ones are not?
Deng Jia wanted to catch up and grabbed Yang Hao: Hey, buddy, you make it clear, don't say half hide and half hide.
But in the end, he couldn't save face and didn't catch up.
But how did Deng Jia know that Yang Hao pretended to be a force crookedly in front, not to mention a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Which sentence is serious?
There are so many sentences, Yang Hao himself forgot about it.
For example, he said, without Kaka and Adriano, Brazil would not be top-notch at all.
That's seriousness.
Even, on a tactical level, if Kaka is blocked, Brazil's attacking threat will be greatly reduced.
Robinho can't play the core of Real Madrid now, and the characteristics of being too sticky to the ball cause the ball to slow down when it comes to his feet.
However, the bicycle boy does not have that absolute strength to bring the ball to where it should go.
Adriano's most important task as a central striker is to be at the front.
But between the midfield three backs and the front trident, someone has to connect with each other, right?
Robinho is not suitable, neither are the two full-backs, so it can only be Kaka.
Whether it is Yang Hao's past life or this life, Dunga's Brazil team relies heavily on Kaka's performance.
In the previous life, after Brazil won the championship, the best player was Kaka.
But now that Spain has won the title, the best player should belong to Fernando Torres.
When Yang Hao came to the podium, he found that the internationals of Spain and Brazil had chatted together.
Although they just lost the final, for this group of guys with big hearts, they quickly recovered.
The final was lost, but life has to go on, doesn't it?
If they had been immersed in the sadness of losing the game all day long, they would not have made it to this day.
When Yang Hao came over, Kaka, Thiago Silva, Adriano, Lucio and McCone all came to greet him, and even Robinho, who plays for Real Madrid, took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Yang Hao.
"Before the game, Messi told me, let me be careful, you are too treacherous." Yang Hao secretly "sued" Messi's black state.
Yang Hao was not happy, "You don't plan to return to Spain intact, do you?" ”
This summer, Atletico Madrid's training camp is in South Africa.
Kaka immediately begged for mercy.
Dunga stood in the distance, watching Yang Hao standing with the Brazilian internationals and the Spanish internationals, talking and laughing, he suddenly felt a sense of envy.
Those players who are obviously his are so close to the opponent's manager.
Perhaps, Yang Hao is not wrong at all.
It is not clear whether this group of internationals was cultivated by Brazil or Atletico Madrid.
Especially people like Pepe and Marcos Senna, neither of them are "Brazilians" anymore.
……
When receiving the award, it was Brazil that took the stage first and shook hands with the Spanish internationals one by one.
They have a lot of players who play in La Liga and are familiar with each other.
But there was a hiccup.
When it was the turn of the champion team to take the stage to accept the award, Yang Hao saw UEFA President Platini on the podium.
Although the Confederations Cup is a world-class champion, it is not as important as the World Cup and the European Cup.
Therefore, neither the Spanish royal family nor the prime minister arranged for anyone to come to help, but they both made phone calls before the game.
But the president of the Spanish Football Federation, Bilal, is definitely there.
Atletico Madrid's Cerezo and Junior Hill also flew to South Africa to watch the final and prepare for the team's upcoming training camp in South Africa, and at this moment, they are also in the stands.
To Yang Hao's surprise, Platini also came.
It stands to reason that in a game like the Confederations Cup, Platini will not come to help.
After all, this is a FIFA competition.
But here he is.
Yang Hao looked at Cerezo and Little Hill again, and faintly realized something.
After following the players on stage, each received their own championship medal, and it was not until the end that Casillas took over the heavy Confederations Cup gold trophy from Blatter.
The moment everyone in Spain lifted the Gold Cup, the whole stadium was completely boiling!
Yang Hao retreated behind the players and gave them the most limelight position.
"Platini wants to meet you." Bilal, the president of the Spanish Football Association, was standing near Blatter, and after seeing Yang Hao withdraw, he came over and said in his ear.
Yang Hao looked over, just as Platini also looked at him, the two glanced at each other, Platini nodded at him with a smile, indescribable friendliness.
"He's already met Enrique and Michelle." Bilal said casually.
Yang Hao nodded.
He has absolute trust in Cerezo and Little Hill, and the three are now grasshoppers in the same boat, both of them are prosperous.
Even if he really wants to lose, Yang Hao will definitely be fine.
The two of them saw Platini, and it was estimated that it happened today, and they didn't want Yang Hao to be distracted before the decisive battle, so it was normal that they didn't tell him.
"I see, thanks." Yang Hao thanked him.
Bilal also achieved his goal and retreated.
At this moment, Yang Hao's prestige in the whole of Spain has reached a very high level, leading the team to win the European Cup after a half-century absence, and now winning the Confederations Cup, everyone is full of expectations for next year's World Cup.
Yang Hao is the focus of everyone's high hopes.
In this case, Yang Hao's prestige is not even something that Bilal, the chairman of the Football Association, can shake.
That's where the players and coaches come in.
To put it bluntly, the president of the Football Association is a politician.
But the players and coaches, they all rely on real results.
They come out and say a few words, sometimes more than the president of the Football Association.
Even in European football, and even in the world, Yang Hao's influence can be called the first in football.
Even Blatter had to be polite when he saw him.
Of course, Yang Hao is also relatively low-key, although he doesn't come out to socialize, but he never offends people.
As a result, he has a wide network of contacts and prestige in world football.
……
After receiving the prize, it's time to take a photo, then go around the field to celebrate, and then enter the locker room to celebrate.
It wasn't until more than an hour later that Spain left Ellis Park and returned to the hotel to continue their celebrations.
This time, the team was celebrating in the hotel all night long.
Yang Hao also participated.
After all, no manager can't say anything about this kind of celebration occasion.
But he went back to sleep early.
I didn't wake up until near noon the next day.
According to hotel staff, the other players celebrated until dawn before going to bed.
Yang Hao also ignored them.
Next, they will have a vacation where they can relax and unwind.
But Yang Hao can't help it, he still has a lot of things to worry about.
After finishing lunch at the hotel, Yang Hao received a call from Little Hill.
Both he and Cerezo have arrived.
The three met in Yang Hao's room.
"Platini said the red card in the Champions League semi-final was really a miscalculation."
As soon as Cerezo met, he first congratulated Yang Hao on winning the championship, and then said the process of meeting with Platini yesterday concisely, and the UEFA president repeated the same sentence over and over again.
Misunderstanding, really misunderstanding!
In fact, that's all he can say.
And for Atletico Madrid, whether it's true or not, they won't believe it anyway.
He said that the referees who enforce the law will be banned and heavily punished, and UEFA will publicly admit its mistakes, but hopefully this will end here, and hopefully we can play a leading role in La Liga giants and maintain the hard-won good situation in European football.
In the end, Cerezo sneered directly at Little Hill and snorted disdainfully.
He has always been very unaccustomed to this kind of person.
"What do you think?" Cerezo asked with concern.
"I can't handle him right now." Yang Hao said.
The referee and the Champions League semi-final, in the end, are a small matter.
It's true.
In the eyes of the fans, this is a season of hard work, and this is how much and how much it is profitable......
But in the eyes of club operators, in UEFA, in the eyes of the Spanish Football Federation, it's really a small thing.
If Atletico insist on such a trivial matter and make a big fuss, it will only backfire in the end.
"Bilal?" Yang Hao asked with concern.
Cerezo smiled, "Our president of the Spanish Football Federation has taken a big advantage this time, according to his own words, he is confident that he has full control over the referee committee, and he is now the core senior of the FIFA referee committee, and he has great power." ”
Yang Hao also laughed.
This is also quite normal.
Bilal has been mixed with UEFA and FIFA for so many years, and various relationships have long been opened.
Now, there is finally such an opportunity, and he still doesn't seize it?
"Tell him that the lessons of Serie A should be learned!" Yang Hao admonished very harshly.
In the past, the referee committee in European football has always been controlled by Italians, for example, Yang Hao's previous life, after Corina retired, didn't he serve on the referee committee and rise all the way?
It can be said that the Italians have a deep influence in the field of refereeing at both FIFA and UEFA.
So, now you understand why some referees are willing to listen to Moji's call, right?
After the phonegate, Bilal now seized the opportunity.
The most important thing at the moment is to consolidate the power in hand and continue to unite the majority, rather than insisting on going its own way.
Besides, is there less black material in Bilal in Spanish circles?
If nothing else, I don't know how many of those documents he reimburses La Liga every year.
Also, his son, who is a lawyer, is clean?
Others don't know, Yang Hao still doesn't know?
What's going on with Spain playing Azerbaijan?
Not to mention that it is true that there are no other opponents in the competition, dozens of teams in Europe, you have to look for Azerbaijan?
If you want to play in the Confederations Cup in South Africa, why not find an African team nearby?
This kind of thing doesn't need to be thought about at all, Yang Hao knows what's going on in his heart.
Bilal's son said he was a lawyer and actually ran a company that was responsible for collecting "service fees" and "consulting fees", and many of the businesses were directly or indirectly linked to the Spanish Football Federation.
Who doesn't know this kind of thing in the inner circle of the entire Spanish Football Federation?
Therefore, La Liga is not afraid of Bilal at all.
Just his stuff, just poke it in the newspaper, and he's going to be finished.
As for why not engage him?
Is it necessary?
He has connections and abilities in UEFA and FIFA, so wouldn't it be good to let him be in charge of this?
If someone comes up, a lot of things can't be done.
Besides, in the Spanish Football Association, who is not greedy?
Yang Hao is now worried that Bilal has gone too far and backfired.
That's why he asked Cerezo to remind him.
"I know how to do it." Cerezo understood what Yang Hao meant.
"That Platini's ......"
"See, if you chop off someone's hand, you have to give him a little face."
"So that's it?" Cerezo was a little puzzled.
Yang Hao snorted, "You say, there is such a good thing in the world?" As soon as this fire burns, no one should think of giving up. ”
"Then what do you mean ......"
"Since La Liga's agreement of understanding on the arrangement of the tournament has been reconsidered, it will continue to be considered, but it will be handled in a low-key manner for the time being, and the most important thing is the restructuring of the G14."
Cerezo and Little Ciel glanced at each other, exactly what they had in mind.
"Although the European Football Club Association is the only club representative association recognized by UEFA, this association has been abolished, so we can completely privately re-form a G14, or not call it G14, call it G8, G20, it's okay."
When UEFA forced the G14 to disband, it set up an officially recognized association, which allowed all clubs to participate, and gave high positions, such as presidents, executive committee members, etc., and the big teams looked like they had a lot of power.
But in reality?
The most treacherous thing about Platini is that in this association, he has recruited many clubs from countries that are not very strong.
For example, among the founding members' clubs, there is a club in Malta.
The point is that UEFA can also justifiably tell everyone that the association treats all clubs registered with UEFA equally, but everyone knows that these small clubs are used to counterbalance the top league.
There's not much power on the football field, but when it comes to voting, it's significant.
And these tickets are in the hands of Platini, or UEFA.
Many of their clubs rely on UEFA blood transfusions and subsidies to get by, what to vote for, who to vote for, it's not UEFA's final say?
Therefore, this institution can already be said to exist in name only, and it does not represent the interests of the top league and the big teams at all.
According to Yang Hao's meaning, if they do theirs, the wealthy will go to the wealthy family's own.
Wasn't the G14 disbanded?
As long as the big teams are willing and have the same interests, it is a restructuring.
We don't reorganize openly, so we communicate privately, and when the time is ripe, we will re-establish an organization.
Only in this way can it be possible to make UEFA jealous and dare not go too far.
Moreover, if you don't do it, you have to expand the army!
The previous G14 is out of date, so it is a matter of time before it is destroyed, after all, it is too detached from the masses.
But now, since we want to do it, we have to make a big battle.
Yang Hao had a faint feeling that maybe when the big storm came, it would be an excellent time.
But before that, you have to be prepared.
"Talk about it, and keep doing what needs to be done!" Yang Hao was happy at Cerezo.
……
Afternoon.
A flight from Johannesburg, the capital of South Africa, slowly landed at the capital airport in Madrid.
The Spanish fans who had been waiting at the capital airport for a long time suddenly exploded and surrounded them.
There are thousands of fans gathered inside the airport, and even more people outside.
Countless Spanish fans wore the jerseys of the Spanish national team and came to meet the airport.
They are not only from Madrid, but also from the surrounding metropolitan areas, and even from all over Spain, all of whom have come specifically to welcome the Spanish national team.
The convertible that the Football Association had arranged long ago was in the tarmac to pick up the Spanish internationals.
This time Yang Hao learned to be smart, he didn't go to the city with the players to celebrate, that kind of thing will feel fresh if he does it once or twice, and there are too many times, it really costs people's lives, it's too tiring.
A short walk, a full couple of hours, that's pretty fatal, okay?
Therefore, Yang Hao asked Casillas to take the players in an open-top bus, and he quietly followed the car transporting the equipment, and after leaving the tarmac, he secretly went to Las Rozas Sports City.
Although it was not in the designated area and road around the city to celebrate, Yang Hao could see the group of Spanish fans singing and dancing everywhere the vehicle passed, and they were all celebrating there.
You can even hear the national anthem being sung over and over again in many places.
Along the way, Yang Hao looked at the scene of joy everywhere, not to mention how proud he was.
As a manager, he is very happy to be able to bring such joy to this group of fans.
That's the most rewarding thing for him.
Yang Hao let the driver pass by the door of his community, and after getting out of the car, he entered the door amid the stunned and greeting of the security guards.
By the time everyone thought he was going to be in the celebration around the city, he had already sneaked home.
In Yang Hao's opinion, what's so good about the bus that marches around the city?
It's tiring and troublesome, but it's not as fun as holding your girlfriend and watching a movie at home.
It's been more than 20 days since June, and I'm suffocating.
When Yang Hao finished his work at home, he received a call from Bilal, asking where he was and inviting him to the celebration banquet, at this time it was almost midnight.
Yang Hao didn't really want to go, but he couldn't go on this occasion.
So I drove there.
Although it is only a Confederations Cup, it is a world-class champion officially stamped by FIFA.
There were no fewer political and business celebrities present at the celebration banquet, and the bigwigs of La Liga also came, and the scene was really lively.
For two consecutive years, he led Spain to win the European Cup and the Confederations Cup, and Yang Hao naturally became the protagonist of the celebration banquet, coupled with his coaching achievements at Atletico Madrid, which made him even hotter.
There were many people surrounding Yang Hao throughout the celebration banquet, some wanted to find out if there was really a so-called secret to his success, or what tricks and experiences he had?
Bilal also finally seized an opportunity to talk to Yang Hao for a while, mainly concerned about the outcome of Yang Hao's conversation with Platini.
Yang Hao met Platini in the afternoon in a hotel in South Africa and chatted for more than half an hour.
Bilal also chatted with Yang Hao about the referee.
Yang Hao still said that creating a fair competition environment is more important than anything else.
In addition, the level of La Liga referees should also be improved, and now it is indeed more stretched.
Bilal also said that this piece will continue to be persistent.
The training of referees really can't be said to be fast, especially the referees who have the ability to referee La Liga and the Copa del Rey, it is not easy to train one, and La Liga and the Copa del Rey generally use referees from Spain.
There is no way, now that the situation in La Liga is so good, we must increase our efforts and not let the referee drag our feet.
……
After the celebration banquet, the players celebrated all night together.
This time, they went straight to the center of Madrid, chartered a nightclub, and celebrated in a profligate manner.
And all the media and fans also understood this, and didn't even report it much.
It didn't end until the early hours of the morning.
The celebration lasted for two days.
By the time the celebration in Madrid was about to subside, at noon, the national team took the Confederations Cup to the Royal Palace in Madrid.
It's also a routine.
Whenever a Spaniard made a significant achievement, he was received by the king and members of the royal family.
This was true after winning the European Championship last year, and it is the same with the Confederations Cup this year.
Of course, there is no such treatment for the honor of the club.
The entire interview process is strictly in accordance with the procedures, how to meet, where to meet, what to say, in general, someone has explained in advance, there are many media reporters and TV stations on the scene, and everyone is serious about implementation.
Speaking of which, it's more of a symbol.
When Juan Carlos saw Yang Hao, he said a few more words.
It is nothing more than hoping that Yang Hao can make persistent efforts to help Spain win the World Cup.
"We want the World Cup more than anything else!" Juan Carlos said loudly.
There was a round of applause.
Obviously, everyone hopes that Yang Hao can help them, and their wishes will come true.
The players were also very encouraged and said they would give their best.
Next year in South Africa, try to win the World Cup.
Of course, Yang Hao will not extinguish his prestige, and immediately responded to the call of the players, saying that he is full of confidence in next year's World Cup and will definitely be able to win the Hercules Cup back in South Africa.
That will be the first Hercules Cup in the history of Spanish football!
From now on, Spain is among the World Cup winners!
The scene can be described as thunderous applause, obviously everyone is very satisfied with Yang Hao's statement.
Afterwards, all the internationals wore commemorative T-shirts and stood on the steps in front of the palace to be inspected by King Juan Carlos before taking a group photo.
When all the routine processes were completed, Yang Hao accepted congratulations from many members of the royal family.
Prince Felipe's relationship with Yang Hao is the best, after all, he is the honorary president of Atletico Madrid.
Taking advantage of the fact that not many people were paying attention, Prince Felipe led Yang Hao to an area where no one was and whispered a message to him.
"I'm fighting for you through relationships, and next year you work harder to help the team win the World Cup, and I'll help you get knighted!" Prince Felipe encouraged very intently.
"Knighted?" Yang Hao was really surprised.
In Spain, there is such a thing as a title, which seems to be useless, but it is useless, it has an extremely high social status, and some of them can still be hereditary.
Although Prince Felipe did not disclose which level of title it was, it should not be too shabby to think about it, otherwise, he would not have said this to Yang Hao.
Moreover, the Spanish title is intended to be given to the Spaniards, and Yang Hao can get it as a foreigner, which is absolutely unprecedented.
In fact, as early as last year, after Yang Hao led Spain to win the European Cup, someone had already proposed it to him.
That is to naturalize in Spain and be knighted as a Spanish national.
At that time, the Spanish royal family also had this idea.
According to many people, Yang Hao's great contribution to Spanish football has long been worthy of a knighthood.
Not to mention leading the team to win the European Cup.
But Yang Hao finally politely declined.
Knighthood, he wanted; Naturalization, don't think about it!
This is not to say that Yang Hao has any great feelings for his family and country, and even after so many years, he has been busy with his career and has never returned to China.
As a human being in two lives, many things are underestimated for him.
But if you want him to become a naturalized Spanish citizen, if you want him to declare his love and allegiance to Spain, he really can't do it!
Therefore, he would rather not have this title than become a naturalized citizen.
Now, Prince Felipe is clearly looking for a compromise.
In the past few years, Yang Hao's contribution to Spanish football, coupled with last year's European Cup and this year's Confederations Cup, if the Spanish royal family can't get a decent and sincere reward, how can it explain to the people?
Besides, if you really want to win the World Cup, not only Yang Hao, but many players will be rewarded, but at that time, the number one hero Yang Hao will not?
This is certainly unjustifiable.
The Spanish royal family is estimated to also have concerns in this regard, because they will award some medals to the players of the national team next, worried about what Yang Hao will have in his heart.
Therefore, this allowed Prince Felipe to come forward and stabilize Yang Hao first.
As long as you get the World Cup championship in your hands and the foreigner is knighted, it doesn't matter!
Yang Hao was really a little excited when he heard it.
After all, that's a knighthood.
"I'll do my best." Yang Hao still refused to say anything to death, but he quickly changed the topic.
"But there's one thing we have to talk about first."
"You say." Prince Felipe nodded.
"If you really want to knight me, it will definitely be bigger than Ferguson, too shabby, I don't want it."
Prince Felipe couldn't stop crying or laughing.
The knights of the Spanish royal family can bargain like this?
The English knights are different from the Spanish knights, but Ferguson received the lowest rank of knights, which is the lowest rank in the English knighthood system.
In Spain, there are ranks of male, marquis, uncle, son, and male.
Yang Hao's meaning is very clear, if it is the lowest rank of baron, don't take it out Huo Huo me, labor and management don't want it!
Why?
I'd rather be a phoenix tail than a chicken head!
But Prince Felipe still told Yang Hao very firmly, "I promise, I will definitely satisfy you!" ”
Yang Hao nodded contentedly.
However, it is also quite a headache to say.
"What's wrong?" Prince Felipe saw Yang Hao's brows tightened, as if he had encountered a little trouble.
"I've heard that many titles are hereditary."
"That's right."
"But I don't have children yet, what a loss!"
Prince Felipe was stunned for a moment, and then he was very worried that Yang Hao would say: Otherwise, let's cash out.
If it gets out, the Spanish knighthood will really not be worth much.
So, Prince Felipe laughed, "Then you hurry up and find a good girl to marry and have children, won't it be hereditary?" ”
Yang Hao looked at Prince Felipe, and then at the sky in the distance, and secretly measured it in his heart.
Is it worth it to find a girl to marry and have children in order to inherit a title?
Isn't this just for a bite of vinegar, specially wrapped a dumpling?
Speaking of which, the best thing has to be our Lord Wei.
has done Lu Ding Gong, which is already the first gear in the title, and the key is that there are 7 beautiful wives, I am so envious of the dead.
In reality, it is impossible for a Spanish duke to be external, because there are very few of them, and they are all hereditary.
At this point, Yang Hao is destined to not be able to catch up with Lord Wei.
As for hugging 7 wives left and right at the same time...... It's really not impossible, it's just ...... Gotta add money!
……
With the 2009 Confederations Cup coming to an end and Spain's championship celebrations coming to an end, the transfer market in European football began to enter the minds of fans.
All were drawn to the first transfer news from La Liga.
After months of rumours, Real Madrid president Florentino has finally made an official offer for Manchester United's defensive stalwart Nemanja Vidic.
Not only that, Real Madrid also made an offer to Lyon's talented center forward Karim Benzema to take the young talented center forward into their ranks, which immediately caused turmoil in the entire European football world.
Fans see all the excitement, but in European football, everyone is more focused on something else.
That's the tax reform in the UK.
The tax system in European football has never been a stand-alone one, but is strictly enforced by the tax rates of the country in which it is located.
For example, Spain, non-Spanish players, only need to pay a tax rate of about 23%, which is absolutely unique in European football, and even many media and fans will emphasize this when analyzing the strength of La Liga.
Because of the same annual salary, playing in Spain, you will get a little more.
You know, the other leagues are around 45%, and the UK is currently 40%.
But the new policy introduced by the UK this time.
From April 2010, a new tax system will be implemented in the UK, with 50% personal income tax deducted for people earning more than £150,000 a year.
This would allow the Premier League to have a higher tax rate than the rest of Europe, especially La Liga.
But that's not all.
According to Deloitte, a top tax rate of 50% is only the initial impact on Premier League players, followed by a sharp depreciation of the pound.
Deloitte believes that the pound has been depreciating against the euro over the years, which means that the pound is discounted against the euro in many Premier League teams.
According to preliminary statistics from Deloitte, the new tax regime combined with the depreciation of the pound is expected to reduce the income of players playing in the Premier League by a third compared to those playing in other European leagues.
And if it is compared with the teams in La Liga, the gap will be even greater.
It's not just Deloitte who sees it this way, but in the Premier League, The Times is also analyzing, believing that if the Premier League team wants to retain players according to this new tax system, not to mention raising salaries, as long as they ensure that the players' income remains unchanged, then they will have to raise salaries by 20%.
And that's not even counting the exchange rate of the pound.
The Guardian said that many players' agents have begun to notify clubs asking for players' salaries to be paid in euros, rather than in pounds sterling, as was the case in the past.
In other words, many players in the Premier League are starting to disown the pound.
The Guardian believes that on the one hand, the pressure of salary increases from the new tax system, and on the other hand, the pressure from the decline in the exchange rate, all the burden is put on the heads of clubs, which will put even more pressure on the Premier League teams.
"La Liga is eyeing the sidelines, and the Premier League does not have much advantage in attracting talent, and now as soon as the new tax system comes out, the Premier League has lost ground across the board."
The Guardian even typed that the English government was helping La Liga become the number one league in the world.
This is somewhat sensational, given that the new tax system in the UK has been studied for a long time.
But at this sensitive time, the emergence of a new tax system will undoubtedly ruin the good situation of the Premier League.
Real Madrid's attack on Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic at this time has some consideration in this regard.
With Nemanja Vidic's current annual salary, United will have to pay more if they want to stay, but in doing so, United will be burdened with a heavier debt burden.
In particular, the wave of salary increases that have come with Vidic's salary increase will have to be considered by Manchester United to see if they can afford it.
The Sun has revealed that Manchester United's board is looking into whether they should sell Nemanja Vidic.
But Ferguson was furious, believing that by selling Nemanja Vidic, United would completely lose the possibility of challenging for the title.
'Ferguson doesn't even rule out that if the club does sell Nemanja Vidic, he will retire early.'
But The Sun also said that Manchester United's uniform team is working on specific plans.
The cost of staying in Vidic is indeed a bit on the high side.
In contrast, Real Madrid offered conditions that Manchester United could not afford.
On top of that, other teams in the Premier League are facing similar problems, and there will even be a brain drain.
In recent years, the Premier League has been inferior to La Liga in the competition for talent, and even the loss of players has intensified.
In 2010, the new edition of the Premier League's local and overseas broadcast rights will be re-auctioned.
If there is a significant brain drain in the Premier League at this critical juncture, it will be extremely detrimental to the Premier League.
It may even be serious enough to affect the copyright auction.
That's the foundation of the Premier League.
Many clubs now derive the majority of their income from broadcast rights, and if they are affected, these clubs are bound to have a financial crisis, and in serious cases, they may even go bankrupt.
Therefore, the major media in the UK have called on the Premier League to seize the time to find a way.
Yang Hao did not participate in such a discussion, and the affairs of the Premier League have nothing to do with him.
But just as he was taking his girlfriend on vacation, an offer was quietly delivered to Atletico's office.
Chelsea, who are not bad for money, have officially made an offer for Drogba!
I'll be as soon as possible for this chapter in the evening! Kneel and beg for a monthly pass, thank you!!
