The Era of Emerald

() "Okay, okay, everyone, stop arguing, can't you just sit down and talk peacefully?" At this time, the only one who can come up to act as a peacemaker is Van Prager, who is the host of this meeting, "Moore Chairman Si, please control your emotions, this meeting is not a place for you to duel with Mr. Edwards."

"Okay, okay." David Morse didn't change his role just now, he thought he was in a meeting in the Premier League.Morse, who found that he had lost his adult, wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. After all, he now represents the Liverpool club.

In fact, for Edwards’s proposal just now, everyone here is quite in favor of it. The expansion of the European Champions Cup is good for most of the teams present. If the already expensive TV rights are doubled, then the teams participating in the Champions League will naturally be able to make more profits than they are now.

Liverpool’s Chairman David Morse objected, on the one hand, because of the feud between Manchester United and Liverpool, and on the other hand, because even if the Champions League expands, it will only include the runners-up of the four major leagues as an experiment. This season's league ranking is behind his bitter rivals Manchester United, and now the leader of the Premier League is Newcastle, of course Morse will object.

Soon, under the auspices of Van Prager, there were a total of 20 clubs present (6 Serie A clubs, 4 La Liga teams, 5 Premier League clubs, 16 Bundesliga clubs, as well as Ajax, Monaco and Paris. St. Germain's bosses voted on Edwards' proposal, and the resolution passed with [-] votes in favor to two against, with two abstentions.

The representative sent by UEFA to observe the meeting looked at the scene in the conference room and complained in his heart. This unlucky guy can already imagine that he was scolded by UEFA President Johansson when he reported to work after the meeting It was a bloody scene, even though he wasn't the one scolding, but this feeling is not good!

Zhuang Mingge knows that the so-called "resolutions" made at the current meeting have no practical effect, but in this era when the Bosman Act is coming, UEFA can't compromise on these things without taking care of the emotions of most wealthy clubs— — After all, there are one or more big families behind the backing of the giants. If Johansson really doesn’t care about these "public opinions", then these giants may really go it alone without UEFA. Isn’t that the famous European Champions Cup? Did it work?

(Note: In 1954, some European teams were preparing to host the European Champions Cup, but UEFA at that time insisted on holding the Expo Cup, which was the predecessor of the UEFA Cup. Everyone has seen the final result. The UEFA Champions League has always been the highest-level competition among clubs, while the UEFA Cup is a second-rate competition whether it was during the period of the three major European cups or the restructured "European League".)

UEFA is just a non-governmental organization. These rich and powerful giants will only spend a little more effort to re-create a competition. However, if the three major cups under UEFA do not have these giants, they will really exist in name only. Well, these officials and gentlemen can't afford such an economic loss.

Therefore, UEFA's attitude towards this European giants' boss summit is very simple. As long as your clubs still participate in the three major European cups, then everything else is easy to discuss. Otherwise, it is not as simple as just sending an observer to observe ...

After finishing the first topic, Arsenal's boss Hill Wood followed Manchester United and put forward a proposal: he hoped that FIFA could unify the national team's matches, so as to save the team The main players will always be drawn away because of various inexplicable national team games, making the team unable to play at its best.

Good guy, these guys in the Premier League haven't achieved their results yet, and they have a lot of demands. Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting with a group of Italian bosses, sneered in his heart.

But this is also good, with these Premier League teams rushing to the front as vanguards, I can bear a lot of pressure on my side.

Since there is no unified FIFA competition rules at this time, there are quite a few clubs suffering from it, so this issue was naturally passed unanimously.

The following topics are more complicated, and some miscellaneous things have begun to be revealed by the bosses of these wealthy families, for example...

"Our club pays the players wages, but the players are often injured in the national team and the club always suffers undeserved financial losses. I think UEFA and FIFA should do something about the players who are injured in the national team. Pay a certain amount of compensation, it is best to formulate a regulation to allow players to claim compensation from the national football associations they belong to." This time it was the owner of AC Milan, Silvio Berlusconi, it seems that the media tycoon is very concerned about his Players are repeatedly recruited to the national team to play games full of resentment.

This is indeed the case. In the opinion of the conceited Berlusconi, AC Milan this season is absolutely capable of regaining the league championship. It is because of the repeated transfer of players by various national teams that Milan often cannot make up the strongest lineup. This has led to the team now ranking second in the league.

"agree!"

"That's right! This should have been done a long time ago! These national teams often forcibly transfer our players, and the ones they send back are still injured, causing our team to suffer losses in vain!"

Thus, Berlusconi's proposal was successfully passed.

……

As time went by, more and more resolutions were passed at the meeting, and the cold sweat oozing from the back of UEFA representatives

"Ahem..." Seeing that the topic of the meeting was almost discussed, Van Prager, who was standing on the stage to host the summit, coughed twice and signaled everyone present to keep quiet, "Now I'm going to announce the summit The last item on the agenda is about the establishment of a strategic alliance composed of a certain number of football clubs, which is responsible for communication with UEFA and FIFA, so that our clubs will no longer compete with them. We are in a weak position, but have an equal right to speak!"

Fuck me, could it be that the legendary "Football Utopia" - the g14 organization appeared four years in advance under the instigation of this little butterfly?After hearing Fan Prager's words, Zhuang Mingge suddenly had such a thought:

Coach, this is unscientific!
