399 Unreliable guards with knives! Pay back the Golden Globes you owe me! [10,000 words, kneeling and begging for subscription]
Heading into December, Atletico Madrid is really busy with fixtures.
After Deportivo La Coruna, before the team had time to taste the joy of the big win, everyone had to pack their bags and board the Emirates plane and fly to Japan.
There is absolutely no need to doubt the popularity of Atletico Madrid in Japan.
Especially in the past three years, Atletico Madrid has won the Champions League in a row, which has made Atletico's name more famous in the world.
Japan is undoubtedly a very strong nation, and they almost worship a super giant like Atletico Madrid.
Atletico have also become familiar with the Club World Cup schedule over the past few years.
It's like a vacation for the Sheets Corps.
On the 10th, the team arrived in Japan, trained in the morning of the 11th, and began to have a holiday in the afternoon.
On the morning of the 12th, we will take a holiday and resume training in the afternoon.
On the evening of the 13th, Atletico Madrid easily beat the Monterrey Club from Mexico 5-0 at the Yokohama International Sports Stadium.
What's more, Atletico didn't give their best in this game.
Eden Hazard's outburst showed everyone the quality of the players on the Atletico bench.
Although the Belgian only scored one goal, he contributed four assists, and single-handedly turned the Monterrey backline upside down, allowing everyone to see "Messi" on the left flank of Atletico Madrid.
Everyone was stunned!
Yang Hao also spoke highly of Hazard after the game, believing that the Belgian is one of the most anticipated young players in the Atletico Madrid team.
'You can feel the talent of his different people at any time from him, and from the youth team to the first team, I think the biggest change in his attitude towards football has become serious and focused.
'He's hungry to play more, so he needs to show a better attitude.'
At the moment, Atletico have four very good wingers in their squad.
David Silva has not experienced major injuries and is more on the wing, but he can play on both the left and right wings, as have Eden Hazard and Angel Di Maria.
These three wingers, along with Messi, keep Atletico's two wings strong in attack at all times.
What's more, both these four players are all Atletico Madrid's own academy lineage.
Needless to say, Lionel Messi, David Silva and Angel Di Maria, Hazard also arrived at Atletico Madrid's academy very early.
It is this emotional bond of the academy that has allowed them to get along very well in the first team of Atletico Madrid.
By beating Monterrey this time, Hazard showed that he has the side to take the lead!
……
Three days later, at the Yokohama International Stadium, Atletico Madrid ushered in the final of the Club World Cup.
The opponent is Corinthian of Brazil.
To say that this Corinthian team, the overall strength is not very strong.
Yang Hao looked at the player information of this team before the game and found that the player he was more familiar with was Paulinho, who would play for his home team and Barcelona in the future.
He is now Corinthian's main midfielder.
Although the fame is not very resounding, the individual ability of the Brazilian players is relatively strong.
According to FIFA regulations, Atletico Madrid will play as much as possible this time, including Messi, Kaka and other stars, all of whom will play.
And by the way, because Blatter was banned for 10 years, now FIFA has no leader, and Bilal and others have more and more say in FIFA.
As a senior member of the Spanish Football Federation for more than 30 years, Bilal is now facing a more embarrassing situation.
On the eve of the final, Bilal went to the hotel where Atletico Madrid stayed and had a long talk with Yang Hao.
Yang Hao reminded Bilal that if he wants to come out to run, he is most sure that the president of UEFA is still the president of UEFA, and there are too many aspects that the president of FIFA needs to take into account, and he is probably not suitable.
More importantly, will he be able to withstand the investigation of his opponents?
Blatter and Platini have been brought down, and many high-ranking officials in football federations on all continents have fallen, in this case, Bilal will be able to guarantee that he is clean?
If you can't, then it's better to protect yourself.
In addition, if UEFA and FIFA want to reform, will the Spanish Football Federation also reform?
Many people may wonder why Bilal has such an influence in European football and even world football.
Born in Bilbao in 1950, Bilal was trained at Athletic Bilbao as a young boy at right wing-back before joining the Spanish national team in 1973 and retiring in 1981.
If you look at the honors, he has really nothing worth mentioning in the years of Athletic Bilbao and the Spanish national team.
The only one who could get his hands on it was a King's Cup in 1973.
That's all.
But sometimes, things in the world are just that interesting.
Bilal didn't show amazing talent on the football field, but his talent off the football field was very remarkable.
A Basque international trained by Athletic Bilbao, Bilal has been the head of the professional football department of the Spanish Football Federation since 1978 and has been on the executive committee of the Spanish Football Federation.
After retiring in 1981, he remained with the Spanish Football Federation until 1988, when he was elected president of the Spanish Football Federation.
Since then, he has been in that position, in charge of the Spanish Football Federation.
In March 1992, he was officially elected as Vice-President of UEFA, joined the Executive Committee in '97 and served as Vice-President of the Referees Committee, and in March 2002 he was elected Vice-President of FIFA and joined the FIFA Referees Committee.
In '06, after the phonegate scandal, Bilal successfully rose to the top and served as the chairman of the UEFA referees committee.
All positions are re-elected to the present.
In other words, from 78 to the Spanish Football Federation, 92 to UEFA, 02 to FIFA, his resume is even more significant than Platini, even after the sensitive period of the struggle between Johansson and Platini, he has not been shaken.
From this point, it can be seen that Bilal is definitely a skillful person.
At the very least, much better than many people in UEFA and FIFA.
No matter how powerful it is, what can it be?
The megatrend is now very clear.
Corruption!
Bilal has been working for the Spanish Football Federation, UEFA and FIFA for so many years, how can he be clean?
Not to mention anything else, as for some warm-up match arrangements for the Spanish national team, Yang Hao dares to guarantee that if Bilal can be clean, Yang Hao will broadcast a handstand on the oil turtle in the world.
His son is also working in football and has had some dealings with Atletico.
This is actually quite normal.
For example, if his son is familiar with the South American region, there are people who want to introduce players to La Liga or even to Atletico Madrid through him.
Then Atletico Madrid will definitely give him some face in the case of dispensability.
Before, Yang Hao had already reminded Bilal once.
This time, he once again reminded Bilal that UEFA and FIFA are reforming, and the Spanish Football Federation must also reform, and it must reform with the times!
"The government is now vigorously promoting [Sports+], and you should know what's at stake."
Yang Hao's meaning is very clear, you have been working for so many years, and the position of president of the Spanish Football Association should be abdicated to give way.
UEFA and FIFA presidents need to reform and set a ceiling on terms of office, and the Spanish Football Federation must do the same.
Promote the reform of the Spanish Football Federation, leave the presidency of the Spanish Football Federation, and run for the presidency of UEFA, which can get strong support from La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation!
Continuing to control the Spanish Football Federation in this way, trying to make the Spanish Football Federation his personal empire, he is likely to end up like Blatter and Platini.
Not to mention whether Yang Hao and others will toss him, at least his election opponents, and even people in government departments, may not be able to let him go.
Bilal is also a ruthless person, he was mentally prepared early on, and agreed to Yang Hao on the spot.
He even asked about a candidate.
Luis Rubialez.
Rubiales was born in 1977 in the port city of Motril in southern Spain, right halfway between Malaga and Almeria.
He first went to Motril for the academy, then to Valencia in 1994, then from Valencia to Atletico Madrid in '95, and from Atletico Madrid to other teams in '96.
It is precisely because he has been involved in many teams that he has a wide network in Spanish football, and after retiring in 09, he entered the executive committee of the Spanish Football Federation in April 10 and served as the head of the professional football department.
It's like walking the same path Bilal walked back then.
Because he once played in the youth team of Atletico Madrid, and it was when the old Hill was there, Rubialez had a good relationship with Atletico Madrid, after all, the Football Association and Atletico Madrid were both in Madrid, both in the city center, and there were naturally frequent contacts.
Bilal deliberately mentioned Rubiales at this moment, in fact, he wanted to test the attitude of Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid.
But Yang Hao replied to him with a smile, "35 years old, too young, not suitable!" ”
In a word, it blocks the possibility of Rubiales taking the position in the short term.
Yang Hao has a good relationship with Rubiales, this kid is knowledgeable and interesting, he is a delicate person, and the most important thing is that he can do things.
But in Yang Hao's previous life, after this guy became the president of the Spanish Football Association, he forcibly kissed the mouth of the women's football player when the women's football team won the championship, and did a lot of things with Barcelona's Pique, and was finally forced to step down by public opinion.
"I think Tebas is good!"
"Javier Tebas?" Bilal frowned.
Yang Hao took in his expression and nodded with a smile.
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and who is elected depends on the votes."
Bilal's heart sudden, he knew that Yang Hao was polite when he said this.
With Yang Hao's current reputation in Spanish football, if he comes out to stand for Tebas, who will dare to come out and choose?
Of course, Bilal didn't think that Yang Hao would do such a thing, because there was no need to lose his value.
Yang Hao should maintain his transcendent status now.
He didn't need to come forward at all, Cerezo just came out.
Javier Tebas is a very obnoxious guy, and he was born in Costa Rica and has dual Costa Rican and Spanish citizenship.
Unlike others, Tebas is a real elite who has risen from the grassroots, studied law at university, opened a law firm in Madrid with his wife, and has ties to the top of Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.
But he really got into football in 2001 when he was 39 years old, when he stood for clubs such as Badajoz to fight the Spanish Football Federation and La Liga and demand a reform of broadcasting rights.
Later, Atletico Madrid stepped in and organized La Liga teams and most La Liga teams to put pressure on Real Madrid and other giants to force the reform of La Liga broadcast rights and then achieve bundled sales, which also had Tebas's involvement.
Tebas is a lawyer, and his mouth is very poisonous and his speech is not pleasant.
Over the years, he has struggled all the way up to the present point, becoming the vice-president of the Spanish Football Federation.
How so?
Tebas is not necessarily clean, and there are a lot of absurd things and a lot of jokes, but these are not big deals in Spain.
But he has the advantage of not having much background.
Relying on small teams to come out, Tebas seems to represent the underdogs fighting against the big teams, but the interesting thing is that he doesn't have a lot of fun fighting with the big teams in the media and TV all day long, but a lot of things can really be done.
To a certain extent, the sensitive position of the president of the Spanish Football Federation, where interests are intertwined, precisely needs a "pure minister" like him with no background.
Push it, let the fire of the reform of the Spanish Football Federation burn again!
As for the future, as soon as the two terms of office arrive, they will be replaced!
……
In the final of the Club World Cup, Atletico Madrid defeated Corinthian 3-0.
Despite the Brazilian side's tenacity, in the 39th minute of the first half, Eden Hazard sent a cross over as he dribbled on the counter-attack, and Torres' shot found the back of the net against Corinthian's goal.
Messi then crossed and shot in the second half, and Torres scored the second goal.
Atletico Madrid defeated Corinthians by three goals in Japan to successfully defend the Club World Cup.
This is the third consecutive year that Atletico Madrid have won the Club World Cup, which is also unprecedented in the history of the club.
On the plane back to Madrid, Yang Hao talked to Cerezo and Little Hill about the results of his conversation with Bilal.
Cerezo and Little Hill both agreed with Yang Hao's judgment.
"Within La Liga, a lot of clubs are starting to watch out for us." Cerezzo sighed with mixed feelings.
In the past, Atletico stood on the same side as them, playing side by side.
Now, of course, he is still their leading big brother.
But Atletico today is not the Atletico of the past.
The current Sheets Army is a veritable world-class giant, even more popular than Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Among other things, Atletico Madrid is now the highest-paid football club in the world.
This is doomed to Atletico Madrid's inability to stand with those small and medium-sized teams in the past on many issues.
Then these small and medium-sized teams will naturally be more wary of Atletico Madrid, on the one hand, they respect Atletico Madrid, the leading big brother, but on the other hand, they are also wary of whether Atletico Madrid will sell their interests.
In this case, a person like Tebas is actually more suitable.
At the very least, he dares to stand for small and medium-sized teams and fight against big teams.
This is true within the professional leagues, but also within the Football Association.
Tebas will certainly upset the big clubs, but it does have his merits.
Of course, this guy doesn't have a bad relationship with the big teams.
……
During Atletico's Club World Cup, La Liga played a Copa del Rey and the 16th round of La Liga.
After playing the Club World Cup on the 16th, he returned to Madrid on the 17th, and after a short rest, he ushered in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey on the 19th.
Atletico Madrid take on Getafe away.
In the 17th round of La Liga on the 22nd, Atletico Madrid played Vigo Celta at home, which was a must-win game.
As a last resort, Yang Hao could only continue to play with a full bench lineup in the game against Getafe.
As a result, what Yang Hao didn't expect was that Van Dijk performed very well in this game, and he kept Atletico Madrid's goal from losing, and in the face of Ibrahimovic and Cavani and other superstars, Atletico Madrid retreated 0-0 from the away side.
This really brought a very big surprise to Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid fans.
……
At the weekend, in the 17th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid narrowly defeated Vigo Celta 1-0 at home with Messi's goal.
With one less round played, Atletico fell to third place in the La Liga standings.
At the top of the table is Arsene Wenger's Real Madrid, followed by Carlo Ancelotti's Valencia.
……
In Christmas 2012, Yang Hao spent it with Lin Yuner.
He began to take Lin Yuna to attend some Atletico events, and also appeared in some activities of the royal family and the government.
Yang Hao is now a marquis of Spain, even in the aristocratic class, his status is very high.
It is worth mentioning that Bilal officially announced before Christmas that he would resign as president of the Spanish Football Federation and focus on the next election of UEFA president.
Bilal said he believes he can bring more reforms and changes to UEFA.
As for the position of president of the Spanish Football Federation, Javier Tebas has emerged as the hottest of several candidates.
The chairman stepped down and the vice chairman stepped up, which can be regarded as justifiable.
But before leaving office, Bilal said that he wanted to limit the term of office of the president of the Spanish Football Federation.
Each term of office is four years, with a maximum of two terms for each person.
In other words, after 8 years in power, there will be a change.
This is also a big restriction for the president of the Spanish Football Federation.
In this matter, the Spanish Football Federation is undoubtedly trying to give UEFA and FIFA a good start.
……
After Christmas, the Hill Cup, which had been suspended last year, was reopened.
Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Valencia and Getafe are all in the Middle East.
The Sheets travelled to Doha, the capital of Qatar, for a friendly against Getafe, while Real Madrid played Valencia in Abu Dhabi.
Both matches generated huge repercussions in the MENA region.
After returning to Spain, Atletico Madrid went to challenge Real Mallorca away.
Eden Hazard has been in great form of late, but that has also stimulated Di Maria.
So, in the away game against Real Mallorca, Di Maria scored a brace.
Messi scored a goal.
Atletico beat Real Mallorca 5-0 away.
……
In midweek, the second leg of the Copa del Rey round of 16 knockout round.
Atletico host Getafe.
Prior to this game, Getafe had beaten Rayo Vallecano away in the league at the weekend.
Getafe and Barcelona are battling for the top four in the league, that's something everyone knows.
But after Neymar joined, Barcelona's attacking firepower also became very fierce, and it was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
This led to a relatively passive competitive situation for Getafe, who was caught off guard by Rayo Vallecano, who was good at defending and counterattacking, and lost 1-2 away.
Falcao and Hulk scored one goal each.
In this case, Getafe had to rotate properly in the Copa del Rey.
It's all in rotation, but Atletico Madrid's rotation is significantly stronger.
In the 19th minute of the first half, Lewandowski opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid.
Patrice Evra then scored a goal.
Lewandowski picked up a clever pass from Cork just before the end of the game.
3-0, Atletico eliminated Getafe at home and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
Yang Hao is also full of praise for the performance of young players such as Lewandowski, believing that they are becoming an emerging force in the team that should not be underestimated.
……
After playing the Copa del Rey, Yang Hao led the team to Zurich, Switzerland.
This time, in the top three of the FIFA Ballon d'Or, there are two Atletico Madrid players, namely Messi and Iniesta.
The other is Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid.
Many felt that Andres Iniesta had a reason to win the award, as he was not only a key contributor to Atletico's double last season, but also Spain's number one contributor to winning the European Championship and the best player in the tournament.
In a major year, if such a result can't win the Golden Globe, it's hard to believe that the Golden Globe election is not boring.
But there are also many people who believe that Messi performed so well last season that he is also eligible to compete for the Ballon d'Or.
If nothing else, how many dusty historical records have he broken in terms of the number of goals he has scored?
Some people even believe that Messi and Iniesta are both from Atletico Madrid, which can easily lead to them diverting each other's votes, but allowing Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo to benefit.
Moreover, Ronaldo led Portugal to the final of the European Championship, and his performance was also remarkable.
What's more, the Portuguese's performance in the league is also quite outstanding, not far behind Messi.
Ronaldo's biggest shortcoming is that they are all runners-up and have no champions.
All in all, this became the biggest suspense before the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
This year's Team of the Match is:
Goalkeepers: Casillas;
Defenders: Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe, Alves;
Midfielders: Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Xavi Alonso;
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres and Lionel Messi.
There are 11 positions, with nine players from Atletico Madrid and the remaining two from Real Madrid.
It's incredible.
Long before the Golden Globe awards, winning caused an uproar.
But many media and fans have also explained.
According to FIFA, Marcelo and Alves are due to their outstanding performances at the club, and these two players have inherited the characteristics of Brazilian full-backs and performed remarkably.
Ramos and Pepe rotate with Thiago Silva at Atletico Madrid, and the overall performance is not even as solid as Thiago Silva.
But they won the Euros.
Among them, Ramos played on the right side of the European Championship and was one of the best performers.
The backline is reasonable.
Not to mention the midfield.
Andres Iniesta was well deserved, with Sergio Busquets being nominated at the same time as Xavi Alonso, but instead squeezed out Barcelona's Xavi.
Why?
Because the two of them also performed very well at the club, but Barcelona, who did not perform well last season.
And, at the European Championships, Spain's midfielders were Xavi Alonso, Xavi and Sergio Busquets.
Combined with the European Championship and the club's performance, it is normal for Xavi to be squeezed out.
It's pretty much the same up front.
So, Atletico Madrid occupy 9 spots in the best team, which seems outrageous, but it is actually due to the excellent performances of Spain and Atletico.
Yang Hao won the men's coach of the season, which is also uncontroversial.
In the finale of the FIFA Golden Ball Awards, in the end, it was Iniesta who defeated Messi and Ronaldo and was elected to the FIFA Golden Ball Award!
This will be the fifth Ballon d'Or winner within the Atletico team!
At the same time, this is another Spaniard who has won the award after Torres!
The applause at the scene was thunderous, and Yang Hao sat in the venue, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He was mentally prepared for this result.
And behind this is actually the change he brings.
In Yang Hao's previous life, in 2012, Messi was able to win the Golden Ball Award again, and the reasons were actually quite complicated.
Andres Iniesta helped Spain win the European Championship, but the performance was not as good as when Yang Hao was coaching, and Barcelona did not have a title that season, and Ronaldo's Portugal also stopped in the semi-finals, only winning the league title in Real Madrid.
It is precisely because of this that Messi won the FIFA Golden Ball Award without suspense with 91 goals a year.
But now?
Atletico Madrid's double title, coupled with Spain's victory in the European Championship, two major factors, Iniesta's performance has been more recognized and affirmed, and at the same time, he has a slight advantage in the vote.
Judging from the results of the votes announced on the spot, Iniesta is narrowly ahead of Messi.
On the contrary, it is Ronaldo, who has a bit of a big gap with Iniesta and Messi, and does not benefit from the fisherman.
Andres Iniesta clearly didn't expect to win the award either, and he was thrilled.
Messi congratulated Iniesta with a smile.
Subsequently, Xiaobai also specially thanked all his teammates from Atletico Madrid and Spain, and also thanked Yang Hao.
Spanish midfield tears at the Zurich Opera.
And Atletico Madrid also became the number one winner of this award ceremony.
Not only did the Sheets almost monopolize the Team of the Year, but they also won the team's fifth Ballon d'Or.
It's absolutely unbelievable.
A team that brings together 5 Mr. Golden Balls, can you believe it?
Yang Hao has some small regrets.
Iniesta won the award, he is very happy and proud, and thinks that Xiaobai deserves the award.
But Messi failed to win the award, and he has some regrets.
In his previous life, by 2012, Messi had won 4 Ballon d'Or awards.
But now?
He only took 2 seats.
Under Yang Hao's coaching, Messi is definitely stronger than in his previous life.
But it seems that the luck lane is a little inferior.
This is not something that Yang Hao can deliberately control.
For example, he couldn't convince Iniesta this time, or ask Atletico to do everything they could to support Messi.
This is unrealistic.
It can only be said that in Yang Hao's previous life, Messi owed Iniesta a Golden Ball Award, and now he has paid it back.
……
Returning to Madrid from Zurich, the 19th round of La Liga was ushered in.
Atletico beat Zaragoza 2-0 at home.
Prior to the match, Atletico Madrid hosted a Ballon d'Or ceremony for Andres Iniesta, showing the more than 70,000 Atletico fans who had just won the Ballon d'Or from Zurich.
There are also 9 Atletico Madrid players who won the Team of the Year award, as well as Yang Hao's Best Coach Award.
Although Atletico Madrid has won awards in the past few years, the team can appear the fifth Mr. Ballon d'Or, which is also unexpected by everyone.
Throughout the history of football, there is no other!
In the words of marketing director Carlos Leao: Atletico Madrid is going to take off again!
And then, Messi made a pass and a shot to help Atletico beat Zaragoza.
It is worth mentioning that Messi's goal came from an assist from Iniesta, so after the goal, the two looked very harmonious when they ran to the sidelines to celebrate the goal.
……
After 19 rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid continue to lead the table, followed by Valencia.
Atletico are in third place, but mainly because they have played one round less.
Despite having a game in hand, the Sheets scored 63 goals and conceded 14 in the first half of the season, and their performance was still quite impressive, if not worse than last season.
Messi once again put in an amazing performance, leading the La Liga scorer list with 32 goals.
In all respects, Atletico Madrid has basically continued the excellent performance of previous seasons, and the overall performance of the team is very stable.
But the competition in La Liga is getting more and more fierce, which leads to the increasing pressure on Atletico Madrid's current game.
Yang Hao reflected on himself that so far this season, the three games that have been drawn are basically due to the lack of rotation and bench thickness, and the performance of young players is not stable enough.
However, in recent times, the young players in the squad have become more and more mature, and Atletico's squad will become stronger and stronger over time.
……
In midweek, the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.
Yang Hao continued to start with Lewandowski and other players, playing in the Copa del Rey against Real Betis.
And just 11 minutes into the first half, Lewandowski scored another goal for Atletico.
The assister was Isco.
Not long after, Di Maria made another move.
In the end, Atletico beat Real Betis 2-0.
……
Weekend, La Liga round 20.
Atletico Madrid sat at home and beat Levante 5-1 at home thanks to goals from Lionel Messi, David Silva, Fernando Torres, Andres Iniesta and substitute Koke.
However, in the same round, Real Madrid narrowly beat Valencia 5-4 away.
Arsene Wenger's side had a very interesting game.
In the first half, the tactics of the Bat Army were a little too aggressive, and the home team wanted to eat Real Madrid in one bite, but they were caught off guard by Real Madrid's continuous counterattacks.
In the 8th, 34th, 36th, 41st and 44th minutes, five goals were conceded in a row.
If a master makes a move, it is really a catastrophe if he is not careful.
But in the second half, after Ancelotti adjusted, he immediately caught Real Madrid and beat him.
The Bat Legion scored four goals in a row, and it was only 73 minutes.
Valencia launched a frenzied attack on Real Madrid, forcing the Galacticos to defend to the death.
In the end, the Bats were unable to equalise.
Real Madrid won, but neither did the Bat Army.
One game, 9 goals, this is only seen in La Liga!
The media and fans around the world were completely excited.
……
When Yang Hao led the team to play the 20th round of La Liga, the new UEFA presidential election gradually came to an end at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
There were quite a few early candidates who were interested in running, including former Ajax president Van Praag and UEFA secretary general Gianni Infantino.
These two are seen as Bilal's number one rivals.
But Infantino did not announce his candidacy for a long time, and it was not until the official vote that he announced that he would not run for the election.
Although Van Praag is very prestigious in European football, La Liga has been very strong over the years, so Van Praag lost to Bilal in the election.
After the official announcement of his election, Bilal was also very high-spirited.
His campaign slogan was reform, so he announced a series of drastic reforms to UEFA.
This includes revising the term of office of the UEFA president, who wants to cap it at three terms.
In other words, the UEFA president can only serve for a maximum of 12 years.
But there is still a vote to be taken, and there is also a need to communicate with the club league.
This brings us to another slogan that Bilal used to run for, which was to make progress together.
He said that the development and prosperity of European football is inseparable from the efforts of clubs.
As the president of La Liga, Bilal said that no one knows how to appease these "rebellious" clubs better than him.
He promised that UEFA would show the utmost sincerity to reassure the club, while also getting the club more involved in UEFA's operations and decision-making.
For example, he will propose at the next UEFA General Assembly that the president of the UEFA Association of European Football Clubs (not a federation of clubs formed by 14 clubs, including Atletico Madrid) be included in the UEFA Executive Committee.
This is tantamount to giving higher power to the club association.
But he hopes that the club league will abandon the European Super League and return to the club association, and sit down with UEFA again to discuss how to better develop European football.
As a sign of sincerity, UEFA will carry out drastic reforms.
In addition to the chairman's tenure, a series of reform plans, including financial disclosure and decision-making process disclosure, will be put on the agenda.
Bilal's various policies and initiatives have won him full applause.
In the wake of the corruption cases of Platini and Blatter, fans around the world desperately needed a reformer like Bilal, and he played that role appropriately.
After Bilal was elected, he publicly expressed his support for Infantino's candidacy for FIFA presidency, as well as support FIFA reform.
These include further enhancements to the competence of independent ethics tribunals, as well as financial transparency for FIFA.
As FIFA vice-president, Bilal's support has caused a huge response around the world.
Everyone is also well aware that the wave of reform has gradually spread in European football and will quickly sweep the world.
For Bilal and Infantino's candidacy, Yang Hao did not participate too much.
With his current status and status, there is really no need to do these things.
But many La Liga bigwigs, including Cerezo and Florentino, as well as Benitez, Juander Ramos, Arsene Wenger, and even Mourinho, have spoken out in support of Bilal and Infantino.
Bilal is good at dancing with long sleeves and has been fully prepared for the election early, the difference is only between UEFA and FIFA.
As for UEFA supporting Gianni Infantino's candidacy for FIFA presidency, this is not unusual.
On the contrary, if UEFA doesn't support it, that's big news.
With the current situation in world football, Infantino's appearance as a pioneer of reform is really pleasing.
He is also actively campaigning for all continental football federations in the hope of gaining more support.
Judging from the feedback from the outside world, Infantino's election should not be a problem.
In Yang Hao's opinion, this result is very good.
Whether it is Infantino or Bilar, after becoming the president of FIFA and UEFA, sitting there with their butts, they cannot obey Yang Hao, La Liga, and the club, and they are also responsible for their votes.
But in any case, they are very familiar with the professional leagues, they are very aware of how the club works, so it will definitely help in terms of formulating some policies and communicating with the club.
What's more, right now, UEFA hasn't appeased the "G14" yet.
With the corruption cases of Platini and Blatter, the club has become a force to be reckoned with in world football.
Infantino revealed that if he is elected, he will consider establishing the World Football Club Association, after all, there is a Club World Cup, and it is natural to have such an association.
Like UEFA, the president of the World Association of Football Clubs is expected to be on the FIFA Executive Committee.
This means that from now on, clubs will have the ability to influence FIFA and UEFA decisions.
That's enough.
Yang Hao never wanted to make the club dominant.
Once capital is out of control, it is not necessarily a good thing.
The reverse is also true.
So the most important thing is checks and balances.
Maintaining a relatively balanced and stable state is a relatively desirable outcome for all parties.
……
Copa del Rey round of 8 second leg.
Atletico drew 1-1 away at Real Betis.
Robert Lewandowski scored a goal for Atletico.
The Sheets eliminated Real Betis 3-1 on aggregate.
……
In the 21st round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid lost 1-2 away to Athletic Bilbao.
In the first half, Atletico took the lead thanks to Messi's goal, but at half-time, the main central defender Pepe went off injured and went off.
As a result, Yang Hao had to arrange for Thiago Silva to partner with Ramos, and as a result, Bielsa's team scored twice in the 77th and 84th minutes.
Both goals were corners.
This defeat can be regarded as exposing a shortcoming of Atletico Madrid's defense.
……
The first leg of the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey in Spain.
Atletico face Mauricio Pochettino's Sevilla.
Yang Hao once again discharged Lewandowski's starting XI at home, but the Polish center did not disappoint Yang Hao, scoring two goals in the 49th and 71st minutes of the second half.
Atletico ended up beating Negredo 2-1 at home.
……
February 3, the 22nd round of La Liga.
Atletico Madrid beat Real Betis 5-1 at home with Messi's brace.
Ramos, who failed to block a corner kick from Athletic Bilbao in the previous round, also scored a brace in this round.
Both goals were corners.
This made Yang Hao feel both helpless and funny.
The guards with knives are still unreliable.
If you can score like this in the last round, then how can you lose to Athletic Bilbao?
And in this round, Barcelona drew 1-1 away to Valencia.
The two sides fought hard for 90 minutes, and finally shook hands and made peace.
……
Three days later, in midweek, the 16th round of La Liga was played.
