Football giants

Chapter 986 It can only be him!

"Master Huan, how are you talking with Rummenigge?"

Rummenigge just left on the front foot, and Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley came on the back foot.

The former smiled and even talked to Rummenigge who passed by, but the latter obviously lacked interest.

"I don't think his complexion is very good. Didn't we agree?" Ron Gurley also asked with a smile.

Yang Huan pouted, shrugged, raised the wine glass in his hand, and leaned over.

The two people on the opposite side immediately toasted with understanding, and there were two bangs, and all three of them laughed.

"Just now I turned up the cards with him, and he said that he is willing to help us fight for it with all his strength, but he can't guarantee it."

Peter Kenyon chuckled, "Of course he can't guarantee it. I received news that Agnelli of Juventus is also determined to get this position. You know, they have always been willing to spend money on this aspect."

Yang Huan nodded, Juventus has always been a powerful member of European football.

Among the members of the G14 organization back then, Juventus, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Arsenal, and Lyon in Ligue [-] were all very eager to have the right to speak.

It's just that Manchester United was bought by the Glazer family after Peter Kenyon quit, and David Gill left, talent withered, and gradually became a little weaker.

And Arsenal is even more so.

The Gunners haven't played since David Dunn left.

Among other things, Cesc Fabregas has been hooked up by Barcelona for so many years. If David Dunn was there, Arsenal would have retaliated. Barcelona would not dare to do it so blatantly.

Now, everyone knows that Arsenal has long been a strong outsider.

In the final analysis, if you want to mix in European football, you need to rely on connections and resources.

"After Agnelli took charge of the Bianconeri, Juventus has always wanted to regain the former peak status and influence of the Bianconeri in European football. Therefore, as soon as he took over the Bianconeri, he immediately kicked over Inter Milan and joined the European Club Association as an executive committee member. Now, naturally, he wants to go further."

Yang Huan narrowed his eyes when he said this, "But he was unlucky to meet me!"

Peter Kenyon and Ron Gourley looked at each other and laughed.

At the beginning, it was Peter Kenyon who mentioned to Yang Huan about the European Club Association, and also talked about some secrets about the G14 organization. His purpose was to let Yang Huan understand that European football is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Behind a football game, there are countless competitions for interests and power struggles.

The wealthy teams desperately want to protect their interests and gain more power, while the mid-lower teams, especially those with capital investment, desperately want to rise and gain more voice.

How could there be no conflict of interest?

According to Peter Kenyon's original plan, if the Saints want to rise, they should find ways to enter the first army.

And if you want to enter the first group army, you only need grades, which is definitely not enough.

Therefore, what Peter Kenyon meant was to enter the European Club Association, and then find ways to enter the executive committee.

But after hearing Peter Kenyon's idea, Yang Huan felt that this was not the right way.

Why do you say that?

Just like Chelsea.

At the beginning, Chelsea chose UEFA and Platini, which led to the disintegration of G14, but what happened?

After the establishment of the European Club Association, Chelsea also has little say in the organization.

Chelsea, Eindhoven, Waiters and CSKA Moscow are all members of this organization, and CSKA Moscow is still one of the executive committee members, but how much say do they have?
The answer is, not much!
Those who control power and have the greatest decision-making power are still traditional giants such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona and AC Milan.

Not long ago, Rummenigge and Agnelli of Juventus put forward an initiative, hoping to help the revival of traditional giants like AC Milan. Doesn't this explain the problem?

Therefore, according to Yang Huan, even if Southampton enters the European Club Association, it will only end up as a subsidiary and supporting role like Manchester City, Chelsea and other teams.

Even if the saints gained a little power after fighting for it, it was just a little bit that slipped through the fingers of the wealthy team. Compared with the compromises paid by the saints, the gains were seriously out of proportion.

Therefore, Yang Huan specially studied the constitution and rules of the European Club Association, and formulated a whole set of plans.

Yang Huan's acquisition of these teams has been strictly selected, not just to encircle the cities in the countryside in the European Club Association, but also because these teams do have great potential.

Now, Peter Kenyon is actively operating these teams to run for the executive committee. If he gets six seats, then Yang Huan will have the largest veto power in the club's highest power organization.

And then...well, Master Huan can be his hooligan with peace of mind!
Of course, since he is running for election, there is a risk. Yang Huan has also made sufficient mental preparations that all six teams will not be able to enter the executive committee this year.

In other words, Yang Huan is also ready for a protracted war!
The reason why he dared to be so confident was because he knew that it was impossible for the European giants to turn the tables.

If the stage is overturned, then everyone will die together.

"Master Huan, who do you plan to arrange to join the UEFA Executive Committee?" Peter Kenyon asked with concern.

Since Rummenigge said that he would do his best to help, as long as they put in a little more effort, they should be sure.

Therefore, Peter Kenyon had to make arrangements for many things in advance.

Yang Huan looked at Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley, shook his head and said with a smile, "Originally, Peter, it is most appropriate for you to go, but now you have to control the overall situation. Ron is now the CEO of Southampton, which is impossible."

There is a good saying that politicians must both be XX and establish XX.

If the Saints immediately become an executive committee member as soon as they enter the European Club Association, and then immediately enter UEFA as an executive committee member, this kind of one-step drama is indeed too much, and everyone knows that it is tricky.

So, this kind of thing can't be made too obvious.

Don't even think about acting good when you get cheap!

Peter Kenyon nodded, "Yes, judging from the current situation, although Edwin van der Sar of Ajax was once a professional player, he is not qualified enough in this respect and cannot control the situation. Neither can Michael Bolingbroke of Monaco. His connections in European football are still very young."

"Originally the most suitable candidate should be Soriano of Atletico Madrid, but..."

Soriano has served as the vice chairman of Barcelona for five years and served as interim CEO. He also has excellent network resources in European football, but the bad luck is that Atletico Madrid is located in La Liga.

There are also five teams in La Liga that are full members of the European Club Association, but Barcelona is already one of the four teams in the UEFA Strategy Committee, and Real Madrid will also run for a new term this time.

Therefore, when discussing within the Miracle Football Group, it was agreed that Soriano should not stand for election.

Because the executive committee only has fifteen places, it is impossible to give La Liga three places in one go.

If Atletico Madrid came forward to run for the election, they would immediately fight against Real Madrid, which would definitely not be a good thing.

Winning or losing is unknown, the key is that it will greatly damage the relationship with Real Madrid.

Atlético de Madrid can't enter the executive committee, so Soriano will definitely not be able to serve as UEFA executive committee.

Then choose and choose, and in the end there is only one most suitable candidate left.

"Marco Fassone at Inter Milan!"

Yang Huan nodded after hearing Peter Kenyon's conclusion, "It can only be him!"

With Peter Kenyon and Soriano, Fassone certainly isn't the best choice, but he's the best fit right now.

According to Yang Huan's plan, Soriano will then run for the UEFA Strategy Committee, get one of the places, and enter the executive committee of the European Club Association in this way.

But two years later!
"Fassone has done quite well in recent years, whether he is in Juventus, Naples, or Inter Milan, especially in terms of business development. I believe he should be able to do it."

Peter Kenyon clearly had faith in Fassone.

Yang Huan's team generally attaches great importance to commercial development. Needless to say, Southampton, both Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid opened new stadiums this summer, and both teams have done a good job in commercial development.

But in general, Fassone's business operation ability is stronger, and Soriano's team management and football connections are better, and each has its own strengths.

In Inter Milan, Branca and Ausilio are football experts, and it proved to be a good choice for them to assist Fassone.

"But..." Yang Huan laughed after hearing this, "I guess Juventus and AC Milan will cry by then!"

Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley laughed too.

is not that right?

If the seat on the UEFA executive committee is taken away by Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri will become famous, and their status in Serie A and European football will immediately rise accordingly. Coupled with excellent results, by then, Juventus and AC Milan will not be suppressed?

"However, Master Huan, the worst should be Rummenigge and other traditional giants. They have desperately poached power from UEFA, but in the end they have to take the initiative to spit it out. They are indeed suffering enough!"

Yang Huan laughed straight, "That's because they still underestimated the power of capital!"

As Yang Huan said, this world is very realistic.

When the club has developed to a certain level, they want to obtain more benefits and power from UEFA, so the G14 organization came into being, and the traditional giants are the representatives of this strength.

However, with the influx of capital, the capital's teams are gradually eager to obtain more benefits and power. Therefore, the G14 organization fell apart, and the European Club Association came into being.

If it is said that in the past few years, the capital power represented by Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and other teams in the European Club Association still had to be inferior to the traditional giants, or even gradually controlled, then Yang Huan's sudden rise undoubtedly injected new vitality into the power of capital.

Master Huan, who has never played cards according to the rules, will be supported by all capital teams if he really gets his wish.

If it is said that the traditional giants can beat UEFA's gangsters out of a few streets in playing professional football, then the capital with elite talents and professional management as the core is also capable of killing the traditional giants in seconds.

This time, the saints were able to implement the plan smoothly, which is a great example!
