397 UEFA Super League! That terrible shadow is back! [10,000 words, kneeling and begging for subscription]
Los Angeles, USA.
Atletico Madrid's training camp in the United States still chose UCLA and rented Drake Stadium.
The hotel is still located on Sunset Boulevard.
Every day, the players run all the way from the hotel to the University of California for training.
After a few visits, everyone is familiar with the road.
During the training camp in the United States, Yang Hao's itinerary was two points and one line.
From the hotel to the University of California.
With great perseverance, he got out of Lin Yun'er's gentle township, washed up and changed into dry clothes, and was about to leave the hotel room, when he suddenly received a call from Serezo.
"Has the case been filed?" Yang Hao was taken aback.
Then, his heart was full of surprises.
"It has just been accepted, and it has not been announced to the public, so I will notify you as soon as I get the news." Cerezo couldn't help but laugh too.
After many years of layout, I am finally about to see the dagger!
Yang Hao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
The more critical moments like this come to this, the more calm and sanity are needed.
He can already imagine that once the independent morality court accepts the case and makes it public, it will cause an uproar around the world, and all the media and fans will go crazy.
You know, this involves UEFA and FIFA, two of the most powerful presidents in world football!
Both of them are characters who can make world football tremble with a stomp!
"Inform them, let's have a meeting!" Yang Hao made a decision immediately.
"Okay, where?"
"Not the right place on the American side, Madrid? London? Munich? Milan? Yang Hao gave multiple choices one after another, and he himself is a little messy now.
"The last time I was in London, I suggested, this time in Madrid."
"Okay, you arrange, you must pay attention to secrecy, I'll fly over when I'm ready."
"Rest assured, experienced."
After saying that, the two hung up the phone.
Yang Hao turned his head and glanced at Lin Yun'er, who was lying on the bed with his shoulders half exposed, looking at him in surprise, and suddenly couldn't help but walk over quickly and kiss him hard.
"I have something to do temporarily, go back to Europe to deal with it, you obediently wait for me in Los Angeles."
After speaking, Yang Hao got up and walked out of the room.
……
Yang Hao handed over the training camp and preseason in the United States to Guardiola, with Juanma Lillo and others assisting.
He took advantage of the morning dinner party to hold a meeting with everyone in the team, saying that he was in a hurry to ask for leave.
During his absence, Pep Guardiola was in charge of everything at the club, including the warm-up matches.
Yang Hao also reminded all players to actively cooperate with Guardiola's work.
For more than ten years, Yang Hao has always been a model worker.
Since taking charge of Atletico, he has never even taken a leave of absence, arriving early at the training base and leaving late every day.
Today, he suddenly asked for leave, and the players were also very concerned and asked him what was going on.
But Yang Hao was perfunctory.
Even Pep Guardiola, Lillo and Mendiodo don didn't know what was going on, they only knew that Yang Hao was going back to Europe, but this matter had to be kept secret.
After explaining everything, Yang Hao took the earliest flight, flying from Los Angeles to New York, and then from New York to Madrid.
After the long journey back to Madrid, little Hill personally came to the airport to pick him up.
"Has everyone else arrived?"
"We were all there last night, and we chartered the entire executive floor at the Hilton Hotel to ensure that we would not be disturbed by the outside world, and the whole process was private, from the pick-up to the hotel."
Yang Hao nodded with satisfaction.
Instead of going home, he went straight to the vicinity of Atletico's headquarters.
A few years later, the urban transformation of Madrid has been completed, creating a riverside park along the banks of the Manzanares River, which has become a famous attraction in Madrid, and the original M30 road has been completely renovated into an underground tunnel.
Little Hill drove out of the tunnel and into the underground parking lot of the Twin Towers.
From the VIP independent passage of the Hilton Hotel, I went directly to the executive floor, and the staff greeted me when I got out of the elevator, welcoming Yang Hao and Little Hill into the executive conference room on the floor.
The meeting room was spacious and bright.
As soon as Yang Hao entered the door, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the scene.
Bayern President Rummenigge, Manchester United CEO David Gil, Chelsea CEO Ron Guli, Arsenal CEO Ivan Gazidis, Liverpool CEO Ian Ayr.
Juventus President Andrea Agnelli, AC Milan President Galliani, Inter Milan General Manager Marco Fasone, Dortmund President Watzke.
Plus Atletico Madrid President Cerezo and General Manager Junior Hill, Real Madrid President Florentino and General Manager José Sanchez, Barcelona President Joan Laporta and Vice President Rosell, Getafe President Nasser and General Manager Soriano, Valencia President Mubarak and General Manager Javier Subirac.
Yang Hao looked at the past, and all the people present were the top figures in European football.
Almost all of the most influential and appealing teams in European football are present.
When everyone saw Yang Hao come in, they all stood up and greeted Yang Hao warmly.
Before, Atletico Madrid's side was basically played by Cerezo and Little Hill, and Yang Hao never participated.
But this time, he had to get!
……
By the time everyone arrived in Madrid, the news had already spread.
The FIFA Independent Ethics Tribunal in Zurich, Switzerland, will file a complaint against UEFA President Michel Platini and FIFA President Sepp Blatter for a sum of 2 million Swiss francs in 2011.
This became the focus of discussion among all the media and fans around the world early this morning.
I knew that UEFA and FIFA were not clean, but I never imagined that I would be poked out.
The situation is very interesting.
The outside media and fans are divided into several factions, some think that this is FIFA acting, and there have been several self-investigations and lawsuits like this before, but in the end they are all gone.
Others think it doesn't look the same this time.
But more about optimism.
That's right, Le...... See.
This urgent convening, a secret meeting, a very important topic is this lawsuit.
Cerezo told everyone with great certainty that this was not a formality, but a real investigation.
Both Blatter and Platini tried to block the case from being taken up by the Independent Ethics Tribunal because they both felt that they had a very good reason to pay the money, and there was nothing wrong with it.
The chief justice is from Germany, and Rummenigge said that he had also probed and that this time the independent ethics tribunal had solid evidence, so it decided to accept it.
And once the review and prosecution stage begins, due to sensitivity, both FIFA President Seppat and UEFA President Michel Platini will leave their posts temporarily.
To put it simply, they need to be temporarily suspended!
Both FIFA and UEFA will be in a state of leaderlessness!
Rummenigge has been the president of the European Football Club Association since its inception for four years now, and he is also very prestigious within the association.
He said he had not yet spoken to UEFA and FIFA about the matter and that this would be his next step.
Yang Hao only started to speak after several bigwigs opened.
These clubs have been closely linked over the past few years.
Especially inside La Liga.
Don't look at the fact that there are only 5 teams in La Liga, but in fact, La Liga is very united now.
Yang Hao's speech mainly revolved around UEFA, which was a breakthrough he carefully prepared and a pain point for everyone.
What do you mean?
Yang Hao believes that in the past few years, under Platini's leadership, UEFA has been heavily biased towards small and medium-sized leagues, ignoring the interests of top league teams.
"We all know that he did it for one purpose, votes!"
"There's a lot of exchange of interests that we don't know about, and he's cutting our flesh to feed the teams in the small leagues."
This is something that all top-flight teams can relate to.
The simplest example, in the Champions League every season, there will always be a group composed of small and medium-sized league teams, and then the teams in this group will always be good all the way.
Is this accidental?
Yang Hao believes that the competition system of the Champions League must be reformed, and to further enhance the competitiveness and enjoyment of the Champions League, the level of the Champions League must be improved, and the first thing is to improve the level of the participating teams.
But in the past, the rivalry between the club and UEFA has been asymmetrical.
Since the dissolution of the G14, UEFA has not even listened to the club's voice and disregarded the club's interests.
'Now, I think we have to make our voices heard, we have to tell UEFA that we are very, very unhappy with the situation and that we are asking them to deal with corruption strictly and that they have to reform!"
"We have to make a voice, we have to fight, we have to fight for the power we deserve!"
How to fight?
Of course, you can't tell UEFA face to face, we ask you how to do it, that's not how the game is played.
If you really want to do this, let alone UEFA, what will the media and fans outside think?
Oh, this group of mercenary businessmen are vying for power.
Please, this won't work!
Yang Hao suggested that the ECA now exists in name only, and it also needs to be reformed.
Therefore, the 14 clubs that are doing it reorganized the G14, issued a statement to the outside world, and hired a professional law firm to start the review.
"We're going to form a European Super League!"
When Yang Hao shouted out sonorously and powerfully, the scene suddenly burst into warm applause.
In the past few years, everyone has seen La Liga dominate with their own eyes, and they are powerless.
Now, the formation of the European Super League is undoubtedly a chance for everyone to go together.
Of course, everyone knows that this is the worst possible situation and a bargaining chip.
The club is shouting that it is going to form a super league, then the UEFA side will definitely react, and in the end, both sides will take a step back and sit down to talk.
That's when the club comes out of condition.
You don't even have the qualifications to sit down and talk, and it's useless to shout out any conditions, so it's strange that UEFA will take care of you.
Forming a European Super League is also not an easy task.
Over the years, I've shouted I don't know how many times, but has it succeeded?
No, not even the first step.
Now, what Yang Hao means is to take the first step decisively.
"We need to engage a specialist law firm to start a review of the legal implications of the Super League, particularly if clubs withdraw from existing European competitions."
"The most important thing is that we have to review the impact of the Super League and the laws of the European Union and European countries, as long as there is no problem at the legal level, then UEFA will not stop us, this is our bargaining chip!"
With chips, you are qualified to negotiate!
More importantly, this represents the first step in the formation of the European Super League!
……
A Super League vision of Europe's top football!
That's the name 14 clubs gave to the meeting.
Before attending the meeting, they had reached a preliminary consensus, and this gathering was a formal uprising.
Next, the team will hold a press conference and officially shout out their voices to the outside world.
And everyone is discussing and studying around the current stage and the actions to be carried out in the next stage.
For example, after a club participates in the European Super League, does it want to leave the home league completely?
Or is it just out of UEFA's control?
Previously, the clubs had repeatedly negotiated several times, and had organized more than one discussion and study, and it was basically determined that there were two routes.
One is complete disruption.
The UEFA Super League will be completely independent of UEFA and national football associations, and will be completely independent of all current leagues and cups, and the participating clubs will set up a company to operate independently.
Every participating club is a shareholder of the company.
But this involves a question of downgrading.
Don't worry, it's all about coming up with a viable vision at this stage.
To put it bluntly, this is a bargaining chip for negotiation, and as long as it looks feasible, then no problem.
Even if we do get to that point in the future, there are always more ways than difficulties!
The second line is reform.
The UEFA Super League remains in the UEFA and national football association system, but it still has an independent company to operate, and it is not a big problem to determine the specific format and how to coordinate with the national leagues and cups.
But this requires representation, consultation and negotiation with UEFA and national football associations.
Although the two routes are different, they are actually the same, which is to tell UEFA: labor and management must stand on their own!
Everyone who attended the meeting had been preparing for their own meetings, and many questions were raised at the meeting.
For example, Getafe general manager Soriano said that the European Super League must move forward very carefully and carefully.
"We have to do our best, at all costs, to unite the teams in the domestic league and the junior leagues and convince them that we don't want to create a monopoly."
Solidarity majority, especially more and more clubs, puts more pressure on UEFA to accept and reform.
Therefore, once the G14 is re-established, it will definitely invite and accept other clubs to join in the future to further expand its influence.
After the whole meeting, Yang Hao deeply realized that the biggest difference between this time and his previous life is that due to his participation, advance preparation, and the strong dominance of La Liga, the whole plan has become more serious and professional.
At the very least, in terms of operability, it is much higher than in previous lives.
In Yang Hao's previous life, even in 2024, the so-called Super League did not have a set of practical operating ideas.
But now, they've taken the first step!
……
UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
"Damn Jenny, go fuck traitor!"
Platini was furious in his office.
He has received information from various sources that over the past few months, his most trusted secretary-general, Gianni Infantino, has secretly met with Michael Lauber, the chief prosecutor of the Swiss Public Prosecutor's Office, and has helped the Swiss Public Prosecutor's Office and the FIFA Independent Ethics Tribunal to form a cooperation.
That's why this acceptance is here!
"Where is he? Where is that scheming villain? "Platini's whole body is close to getting out of control.
He knew better than anyone that after accepting the case, the news had already spread, which would have an incalculable impact on him personally, especially the blow to his reputation.
This is unacceptable in any way!
He's going to be the president of FIFA!
Thinking of this, Platini quickly calmed down again.
He began to think about the situation he was facing.
"I've heard that the U.S. side is also paying attention, and the Independent Ethics Court has begun investigating Valker's 2010 World Cup ticket resale for profit, as well as the transfer of $10 million to the CONCACAF Football Association during South Africa's bid to host the World Cup." said Peter Williams, director of marketing.
"It is said that the president of the CONCACAF region, Jack Werner, has been brought under control, and Valker is expected to get in trouble."
Platini's brow furrowed when he heard this.
FIFA is now in full swing and could fall apart at any time.
"That bastard Valker has always been unreliable, I just don't understand, why does Blatter trust him so much? I almost planted it in 06, and I didn't even know how to learn from the lessons! ”
Platini said this with grief and indignation.
He felt that he had been burdened by Blatter and Valker.
At the end of '06, Valker was not yet FIFA's secretary general, but marketing director.
At that time, FIFA and sponsor Mastercard still had two years of contract, but under Valker's control, FIFA suddenly announced the end of the cooperation with Mastercard.
After ending the cooperation with Mastercard, FIFA suddenly announced the signing of Mastercard's competitor VISA.
This completely infuriated Mastercard, so they formally sued FIFA in New York, USA.
A New York court ultimately ruled against FIFA and awarded $90 million in damages.
In the wake of this incident, FIFA announced the dismissal of Valk in an effort to quell public outrage.
Unexpectedly, just 8 months later, Valker not only returned to FIFA, but also became the secretary general and Blatter's right-hand man.
Many people are speculating that Valker's miraculous experience is due to the fact that he carried the black pot for Blatter during the whole thing.
But speculation can only be speculation, and no one can produce evidence.
After all, FIFA never discloses their operational processes and financial status to the public.
One thing is certain, and that is that Valker's approach to doing things is too unrefined and very crude.
Platini has always used this to mock Blatter before, because his right-hand man is the legal expert Gianni Infantino, who does things without leaks and is very logical.
What I didn't expect was that although Platini's right-hand man was capable, he was not loyal.
Although Blatter's henchmen are not reliable, they are at least loyal.
As soon as he thought of this, Platini was also full of depression.
There are more and more bad things!
"Peter, give me a call to Zurich, I'm going to meet with him."
Platini is also confused about the current situation, and he always feels confused.
Everything came flooding back, and he was caught off guard.
Now, he wants to meet with Blatter to talk about how to deal with the current crisis.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Peter Williams said.
But just as Williams was about to walk out of the office to make a phone call, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside.
I saw the communications director Martin Hagmeister rush in.
"Oh no, Chairman, something is wrong!"
"What's the matter?" Platini's brow furrowed.
He doesn't like the people below to be in a hurry when they encounter something, especially in front of outsiders, doesn't it seem that he is in a mess?
"I have just received reliable information that there are 14 big clubs in total, and there is a press conference in Madrid where they will officially announce the re-formation of the G14!"
"What?" Platini exclaimed.
“G14? Isn't it over? ”
"Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and other giant teams, a total of 14, they announced that they want to rebuild."
"When? Some? Platini was in a hurry.
If the investigation from the outside world is difficult for him, there are ways to deal with it, especially Blatter.
After so many years at the helm of FIFA, Blatter has a good network in the Swiss government and in the US government.
As long as you get through it, there is always a way to solve it.
The big deal is to do some exchange of interests.
But the G14 has to be rebuilt, which is definitely a big threat for Platini!
Back then, the shadow that hung over UEFA's head is coming back?
"It is said that at 12 noon, these 14 clubs signed in Madrid, and they will not only rebuild the G14, but also officially form the European Super League!"
Platini's eyes widened, and he began to panic.
He is well aware that this is shaking the foundations of UEFA, and it is also shaking the foundations of his administration as UEFA president!
Madrid?
Spanish!
Damn it!
It's La Liga again!
"I should have thought that the bastards in La Liga were not so easy to clean up, they were really waiting for their chance!"
Platini gritted his teeth.
When he asked which 14 clubs there were, he suddenly found that there was not a single Ligue 1 team among them.
No wonder he didn't get the slightest hint of news before the game.
If they go to a Ligue 1 team, there's no reason why they shouldn't tell Platini.
But it is precisely because of this that it proves that the club is going to be real this time.
……
Gianni Infantino waited anxiously at home in Switzerland for news.
From the moment the Independent Ethics Court decided to take up the case, he had already guessed that there would be a storm and uproar outside.
He also knew that by that time, many things would not be hidden.
So, he used the excuse to stay at home and didn't go out.
He's waiting for the latest news.
In just two days, the whole world was really boiling.
Platini and Blatter have been the subject of overwhelming accusations and suspicions, with almost everyone believing that 2 million Swiss francs is just a drop in the bucket, the tip of the iceberg in many corruption cases at FIFA and UEFA.
The emotions of fans all over the world were completely ignited!
Everyone hopes to take advantage of this trend and strike hard to clean up corruption.
After so many years at UEFA, Infantino knows very well how this set of rules is played, and he also knows that in a closed kingdom like football, it is basically impossible to completely eradicate corruption.
Because there's so much at stake involved.
Speaking from a big deal, countries like South Africa, Russia, Qatar, Brazil and other countries want to bid for the World Cup, is this a football thing?
No, this involves the billions of investment in culture and sports in the next few years, or even more than ten years, and the economic vision of more than 10 billion yuan in these countries, which is a football thing?
Why did Infantino suddenly jump back?
Not just because of the pressure from Blatter and Platini, but also because he is well aware that with the advent of globalisation, the stakes in football are becoming more and more staggering.
It's far from football, it's not UEFA, it's not FIFA's control.
Leaving the big picture aside, let's talk about the individual.
If Infantino wants to be in power, he has to be elected.
And everyone knows that elections always have to be mediated and operated.
Who can guarantee that there is no exchange of interests and that it is absolutely clean?
Can't do it.
Infantino himself actually doesn't know what will become of him in the future.
But he felt it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
So he grabbed it!
Two days.
He waited two days.
There is no news yet.
This made him more and more anxious, and he even had some doubts about whether he was betrayed by Yang Hao?
Didn't Bilal say that Yang Hao promised to lead La Liga to stand up?
Just when Infantino was waiting a little impatiently and couldn't help but want to make a phone call to ask, Bilal's call suddenly came.
"12 o'clock, Brussels, press conference."
Infantino sat in front of the TV on time, and many TV stations and media from Europe and around the world were broadcasting live.
14 of the most influential teams in Europe's four major leagues have announced the formation of the European Football Club League.
There is no G14 name, but G14 is everywhere.
The European Club Confederation continues the previous G14 charter with 14 founding members, as did the G14 and is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.
The Alliance is governed by a Standing Committee, which consists of five members, one Chair and four Vice-Chairmen, who are re-elected every two years.
The first standing committees are as follows: President of the League: Atlético Madrid, with Enrique Cerezo, President of Atletico Madrid.
The vice-presidents are: Real Madrid, with Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez; Juventus, held by Juventus President Andrea Agnelli; Bayern Munich, chaired by Rummenigge; Manchester United, led by CEO David Gill.
After announcing a series of appointments and articles of association of the league, Cerezo also announced a very important thing, that is, in just two days of its existence, more than 30 European clubs have submitted applications to the league for membership.
Cerezo said that the league's standing committee has also taken note of the corruption of the UEFA president and FIFA president that has been widely rumored in world football in recent times.
"This case has had a very bad impact on world football, seriously hurting the feelings of fans, and at the same time seriously weakening the authority of FIFA and UEFA as governing bodies!"
"Here, on behalf of the Union of European Football Clubs, I would like to formally lodge a serious protest to UEFA and FIFA, demanding that the two major institutions must investigate the corruption cases as soon as possible, and that the independent ethics tribunal must disclose the results of its investigation to the public at any time and give a satisfactory answer to fans around the world!"
Cerezo said that over the years, there has been a constant deal of corruption in UEFA and FIFA.
"What's the problem?"
"Why do they hold it up high and gently put it down every time they investigate corruption?"
"Because corruption has gone to the roots."
"Can you imagine that even the former president, Havelange, was involved in corruption? And now, even the president of FIFA and UEFA are under investigation for corruption, can such a governing body still be trusted? ”
Cerezo has lamented the problems facing FIFA and UEFA.
For example, the atmosphere of gangs in the rivers and lakes, forming gangs, and colluding with each other, which seems to be democratic, is actually an oligarchy dictatorship.
From the establishment of FIFA to the present, the president is like a lifelong system, with no time limit, and the term of office is often decades, isn't it outrageous?
Also, the FIFA and UEFA Finance Committees are constantly operating in the dark.
"They have never even disclosed their finances to the public once, and the Swiss [anti-corruption law] has no binding effect on a so-called non-profit civil society organization."
"According to the information we have received, many executive committee members have their own private accounts, and their travel expenses, entertainment expenses, and even personal expenses are all private accounts."
"From 2 million Swiss francs, it can be seen that the account is a pen, a matter of signing!"
Cerezo also mentioned the stubbornness of the World Cup bid, believing that the World Cup bid is related to the economic interests of several bidding countries, and the corruption caused by this is even more shocking.
"Why should these 24 executive committee members say it?"
"Isn't the World Cup bid a whole world thing?"
Cerezo has bitterly denounced the UEFA and FIFA scandals one after another, and used them as a weapon, arguing that European clubs have lost faith in the current UEFA and FIFA.
"We want to rebuild a European Super League that is more transparent, more spectacular and more competitive!"
If the previous piles are more like denunciation, then the final European Super League is a dagger.
It is clear to everyone that these clubs have completely lost trust in UEFA and FIFA, so they have to prepare to form their own super league.
On TV, Cerezo is talking about the European Super League.
In front of the TV, Gianni Infantino was completely stunned!
He had no idea that things would turn out the way they were.
Yang Hao just told him before that he would pull La Liga to cheer for him.
But now?
He not only pulls La Liga, but even pulls the teams of the four major leagues together, but not for him, but for UEFA and FIFA!
Infantino is not stupid!
He can see that the so-called European Super League is essentially nothing more than a bargaining chip for the club to force UEFA to sit down and negotiate.
What do they want to do?
The answer is to listen to what Cerezo said earlier.
There is no upper limit on the term of office of the FIFA and UEFA presidents and executive committee members, and they can be re-elected indefinitely.
Havelange and Blatter have been in control of the FIFA for more than ten years, or even twenty years.
Not to mention, the former president of FIFA, named after the World Cup winner's trophy, has dominated the FIFA presidency for 33 years.
That's the problem!
Over time, it is difficult for authority to be shaken, and each president will cultivate his own successor.
What does the club want to do?
It is necessary to set a ceiling, cancel the endless re-election, so that the presidents of UEFA and FIFA are no longer a hall of words.
If each president can only be re-elected once at most, it will be two terms, only eight years.
Isn't changing to another one after 8 years to weaken the authority of the UEFA and FIFA presidents to the maximum?
That's all for the chairman, but what about the vice-chairmen and the executive committee?
Also, he referred to the Finance Committee and asked for transparency.
Again, this is further limiting the power of UEFA and FIFA, and if there is financial transparency, many things cannot be done.
As for the decentralization of the bid for the World Cup, this is more like a continuation of the first two.
If it is really changed as Cerezo has complained, the power of UEFA and FIFA will be greatly weakened.
And by that time, the UEFA Football Club League will become a powerful new force.
Infantino suddenly realized that he underestimated Yang Hao, and also underestimated Yang Hao and the La Liga league behind him.
These people not only want to bring down Platini, but also to limit the power of FIFA and UEFA and win more voice for the club.
Realizing this, Infantino was very frustrated.
Because he knows that even if he really becomes the president of UEFA or FIFA, he will not be able to become an emperor like Platini or Blatter.
The surprise that Yang Hao brought to him was too big for him to digest.
But things have come to this point, and he can't go back.
Just when Infantino had mixed feelings and didn't know how to feel, his phone rang suddenly.
Caller ID: Yang Hao.
"Gianni, you've done a good job, but it's just getting started, and then we're going to do it again, push for an independent morality tribunal, suspend Platini and Blatter, and further push the investigation to make this case an ironclad case, so that they can't turn it over."
"The U.S. side has been investigating, and it is estimated that the progress will accelerate in the future."
Infantino listened with some distraction and agreed.
"Don't worry, after the deed is done, we will do our best to help you!"
We?
This is obviously not just Yang Hao, not only La Liga, but the entire European Football Club League!
Thinking of this, Infantino somewhat regained some courage and fighting spirit.
In any case, even if the power is weakened, it is still the president of UEFA and the president of FIFA!
……
After Yang Hao hung up the phone, he watched Cerezo stand on the stage and give a speech from a distance.
Behind Cerezo, the bigwigs of the remaining 13 clubs lined up for Cerezo.
In order to win over these people, La Liga agreed to expand the La Liga preseason.
Since 2014, 13 other teams have been invited to participate in the pre-season matches in various regions of the world along with La Liga.
This is a kind of rain and dew evening.
La Liga preseason is now famous, and each club gets a lot of money every year, ranging from millions to tens of millions.
It can not only warm up, but also make money, and open up the market.
In addition, Yang Hao and others promised that once UEFA reforms, they will definitely redraft the qualification for the Champions League.
For example, the league, which is now the first and second in European points, has four places, and the third and fourth have three.
After the reform, the third and fourth places are all 4 places, and the four major leagues go hand in hand.
At the same time, the number of participants in Ligue 1, Eredivisie, Portuguese Super League and other leagues will be increased.
This would be tantamount to cutting the eligibility of those more bottom-tier leagues.
Some people may feel that this is unfair to the teams in the bottom league.
It's okay, it can be made up for in other ways, such as financial subsidies, youth training subsidies and other ways.
Why do you have to qualify for the Champions League?
The Europa League will do the same, and even Yang Hao feels that when the time comes, the Europa League champion can be given a qualification to participate in the Champions League group stage to stimulate the Europa League team to work hard.
This makes the Europa League and Champions League a relegation and relegation pattern.
If we can, we could rebuild the third-tier cup competition to allow more teams from the small and medium-sized leagues to participate.
La Liga is now a dominant company, but if you want to develop steadily for a long time, you can't always want to swallow all the benefits yourself, you must unite more people.
Therefore, give up some benefits, eat meat in La Liga, and let other teams follow suit to drink soup and gnaw some bones.
As for Cerezo, Cerezo said that more than 30 clubs are applying to join the UEFA Club League, which is true, because La Liga is basically all involved, and teams from other leagues are also participating.
It was clear to all that this was not just for the 14 founding members of the league, but also for the other clubs.
……
The press conference in Brussels was like a bombshell, which shocked all the media and fans around the world.
No one could have imagined that the dead G14 would resurrect overnight.
And it looks like it's even more powerful than before.
With Cerezo's denunciation, the pressure on FIFA and UEFA has skyrocketed.
Although Blatter and Platini have come forward to refute the outside world's doubts in front of the media, and repeatedly insist that 2 million Swiss francs is a reasonable and compliant income, this can no longer convince everyone.
If it is really reasonable and legal, why did the income from more than ten years ago not be given until 2011?
The media and fans have also followed suit, denouncing FIFA and UEFA and demanding that they punish corruption.
A few days later, the Independent Ethics Tribunal finally couldn't bear the pressure and officially announced that Platini and Blatter were suspended for 90 days.
