The 01-02 season is finally over. The most glorious one this season is undoubtedly Real Madrid. Real Madrid defeated Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League final and won the eighth Champions League championship in their history. It also gave Real Madrid the best centenary celebration.
Gift.
Does this matter have a big impact? It's very big. It's very big. Because winning the Champions League in 2002 made Florentino even more convinced that the superstar policy can achieve both competitiveness and economic harvest. Florentino now firmly believes that
His superstar policy is absolutely correct and will definitely bring a new era to Real Madrid. Florentino's Real Madrid is definitely the number one influence in Europe. Any disturbance in their club or any policy changes will be
It has had a huge impact on European football.
Now Florentino firmly believes in the superstar policy, indicating that European superstars will continue to move to Real Madrid. How many superstar-level players can there be in European football, but superstars are a minority after all. Among down-and-out giants like Liverpool, it can currently be called
Owen is the only superstar player. Even Arsenal, which has performed very well in English football recently, only Henry and Vieira are superstar-level players who can affect the club's performance. Although other players are also famous,
It's obviously not up to Real Madrid's standards. Either Bergkamp is too old, or Pires and Ljungberg are not up to Real Madrid's standards.
Therefore, as long as Real Madrid takes action, it will directly take away the representative stars of those wealthy clubs in European football, which will make a wealthy team uncomfortable. The wealthy clubs have lost their representative stars and will make large purchases in order to cope with the pressure from fans and media. Therefore, Real Madrid buys
Superstars are not a matter between one or two clubs, but will affect the entire pattern of European football.
Look, Florentino's first step was to introduce Figo. Gaspart hurriedly introduced European famous players such as Overmars, Boboski, Rivaldo, and Gerald. The final results
But it's nothing. What's important is that Overmars and Petit are the absolute main players of Arsenal, Boboski and Rivaldo are the core of Deportivo's frontcourt, and Herrard is the core of Valencia.
The core of the midfield. Real Madrid poached Barcelona's core, and Barcelona then poached the cores of several strong teams.
Then the second step was to introduce Zidane, but Juventus was not in a hurry. Because they had Moggi, Moggi took his time and introduced Nedved, Buffon, Thuram and other generals.
However, whether it is the introduction of Figo or Zidane, Barcelona and Juventus have made large purchases. This completely changes the pattern of European football. Therefore, everyone is paying attention to who Florentino will introduce next?
Of course, Real Madrid has nothing to do with List at present. List only pays attention to the clubs that have a relationship with him. Pellegrini led Villarreal to the 11th place in La Liga.
Fernando Roig was very satisfied. He immediately extended his contract with Pellegrini for two years. Extremadura Club also performed well in La Liga, eventually ranking eighth in La Liga.
In terms of position, Moyes' performance at Middlesbrough was not very good, but he still finished 13th in the Premier League. Moyes has gained a foothold in the Premier League.
But these things were quickly forgotten. Now there is only one thing that everyone is most concerned about. That is the 2002 World Cup. The World Cup is coming, whether it is fans around the world or pseudo-fans, anyway, all the people on the earth
Nearly a quarter of the population is focused on the World Cup.
As world stars gather in European giants, the Champions League has become more and more valuable. So many fans believe that the Champions League has surpassed the World Cup. However, in terms of influence, the Champions League cannot compare with the World Cup. Many of the world's great players
Because the players failed to win the World Cup, their status in world football was not able to continue.
Just like Di Stefano, the best player in the world before Pele. That is really a myth, a myth on the football field. But he does not have a World Cup. If there is a World Cup, Di Stefano's status is the same as Pele and
Same as Maradona. Even Di Stefano will be the first golf champion in football history. There are also people like Cruyff, although Lister doesn’t like Cruyff very much and he plays golf every day.
It's disgusting that he always comes out to point fingers. But Lister agrees with his status. If this man brings a World Cup to the Netherlands, then Cruyff will be the real king of the court.
And Platini. When he was at his most glorious, he was the best midfielder in European football. Unfortunately, he failed to bring France a World Cup. Platini's dominance at his peak was definitely more than Zidane.
At the time of the 1986 World Cup, the 31-year-old Platini was the king of the football field at that time. Maradona could not be compared with Platini at that time, but Maradona relied on that
The miracle of the World Cup became the king of the ball. And Zidane is so powerful. He not only brought the European Cup to France, but also brought the World Cup to France. He even led France to the World Cup finals at the last moment of his retirement.
Otherwise, it is really impossible for Zidane's career to be compared with Platini.
This is the impact of the World Cup. No matter how good you are at the club, not having a World Cup is a huge regret for many stars.
"The influence of East Asia is growing."
Although Lister has many players, including Joaquín and Reyes in the Spanish team, they are all included in the World Cup squad. But Lister is a Czech after all, and the Czech national team players are all Lister players. Of course Lister
I came to South Korea with the Czech national team, or I should say, with the leadership of the Czech Football Association.
Merkley is different from the ordinary people in Europe. They don't really think that Asia today is still Asia a hundred years ago, and they are allowed to be arbitrarily manipulated by white people. In the past few years, the economic development of Asian countries led by China, Japan, and South Korea has been very rapid.
Rapidly. Of course, everyone has their own problems, but its influence is growing worldwide.
Merkley is not one of those heads of state. He is not concerned about economic issues, but sports issues. Sports and economy are closely related, and economic development will also drive the development of sports.
"Bawell, why are you so envious?"
"No, no, no. I recently read a report on Asia's economic development. The speed of economic development is really fast. And they also have a large population. Among the three countries, China, Japan and South Korea, even South Korea, which has the smallest population, has 50 million people.
Needless to say, in Japan and China, as long as such a large population pays a little attention to football, their level will improve rapidly."
Lister smiled. Indeed, as Merkley said, South Korea and Japan will gradually become the world's second-rate teams in the next ten years.
"Bawell, are you envious of East Asia's money? In fact, we have a good idea."
Neither Merkley nor Lister is the kind of person who has mercy on others. How things are going in East Asia and how things are going in Europe are not topics of concern to the two of them. Lister knows that Merkley is so
I must be a little envious of the pockets of East Asian countries. Their football associations are much richer than the Czech Football Association.
"What can I do?"
After Merkli took over the Czech Football Association, the Czech Football Association's income has increased a lot. But everyone is the same, they don't mind the money. And for Merkley, only when the Football Association has more and more money, his status will be
It will become more and more stable. And only when the Football Association has more and more money can he be able to display his ambitions more.
"We don't have our own youth training camp now. When the time comes to bring in a few young players, they will definitely have to pay."
"Lister, am I just doing it for this little money?"
Merkley was dissatisfied. He knew List very well. Although List was the master of plucking geese, List was also not the kind of person who cares about small money. How much money can a few young players earn in the youth training camp?
Don't say that Lister doesn't like it, even Merkley doesn't like it either.
"Bavel, then there is only one way. When will you make the Czech league as famous as the Eredivisie and French Ligue 1? Then introduce many players from China, Japan and South Korea, and then sell the broadcast rights of the Czech league to
They, and their big companies will also come to sponsor our Czech league and Czech clubs. Of course the Football Association will not be short of money by then. There are not just one or two wealthy companies in China, Japan and South Korea."
Merkley smiled bitterly. If the Czech league wants to become a league like the Eredivisie and Ligue 1, it requires more than one or two conditions.
"Why, are you scared? If our Czech league can become the seventh or eighth league in Europe, Pavel, you will become the president of the Football Association that is epoch-making in the history of Czech football."
In fact, Portugal and the Czech Republic have similar populations, both with more than 10 million people. However, Portugal and Brazil have a natural connection, and with Mendes, they will become more and more powerful later. The Czech league is the most popular in Europe.
It's becoming more and more unpopular.
Lister does not have the strength to break into Portuguese football, so Lister knows that Mendes, who has begun to gather strength, must be his future opponent. Moreover, Lister and Mendes are still young and can still fight for another twenty years in the future.
Ten years. Mendes has Portuguese football as his backing, and Liszt's biggest backing is Czech football. Even if Liszt can temporarily gain the upper hand with his own memory, as long as Portuguese football is far better than Czech football
altar, then Lister will definitely not be able to compete with Mendes in the end.
Therefore, Riester hopes that the Czech league can develop like the Portuguese league.
"It's not that easy."
"It's just because it's not easy that it requires our efforts, right? Our Czech league should not only sell our own players outside, but also introduce the best talents from South America, Asia, and Africa to the Czech Republic. Let's
The level of the Czech league is getting higher and higher, allowing giant teams such as Sparta Prague and Slavia Prague to achieve better results in Europe. In this way, our Czech league will get better and better."
Merkley was also said to be ready to make a move by Lister.
