UEFA CEO Olsson's hands were shaking a little, and his face began to darken. It's not that he had never thought about this result, because some time ago Platini relied on Blatter's momentum to suppress Johansson. But really
When the arrival came, he was still unwilling and angry.
"call--"
He tried his best to calm himself down and not to embarrass himself in such a place. After all, he was the CEO of UEFA and could not embarrass himself too much. Therefore, he kept calming himself down and said slowly: "Sixth
The winner of the term UEFA President is Michel Platini.”
Although Olsson had calmed himself down, his tone was still tough. With his announcement, the big screen had tallied the voting results. Platini got twenty-nine votes, while
Johansson only received 21 votes. As the president of UEFA for sixteen years, Johansson has always been a prominent figure in European football. This time he only received 21 votes. It can be said that
It surprised many people.
"Whoosh whoosh-"
Today is January 26, 2007, here is the scene of the 31st General Congress of UEFA. With the announcement that Platini was elected as the seventh president of UEFA, there was huge applause.
Platini was sitting on it, stood up with a smile and nodded to everyone. Johansson next to him was very dissatisfied. It was not because he regretted the position of UEFA president. He didn't care about UEFA president at all.
position, otherwise he would not have decided to retire. It is a pity that UEFA, which he tried his best to keep, will soon fall into the hands of Blatter.
Johansson dislikes Blatter as a dictator very much, so he has been a pioneer in resisting Blatter. But now that Platini has become the president of UEFA, Blatter can extend his claws into UEFA.
Yes. They all understand what Blatter means by supporting Platini. As long as UEFA does not surrender to FIFA, Blatter can't block the sky with one hand. But now UEFA is about to fall.
However, Johansson has good self-cultivation. Although he was very dissatisfied, he still stood up and congratulated Platini. Platini smiled and accepted Johansson's congratulations. Platini felt proud in his heart.
In 2004, Platini expressed his intention to participate in the UEFA presidential election for the first time. At that time, he was ridiculed and suppressed by Johansson's lineup. At this time in 2005 and 2006, Johansson had been suppressing Platini.
Platini. In the end, he even pushed Beckenbauer to compete with him. This made Platini hold back.
Now that he finally won, he showed a bright smile. Looking at Johansson, he felt proud in his heart. It was just that he had been training in FIFA for many years and was able to hide his thoughts.
"Oops. Johansson's time is finally over."
Although Lister knew that Platini was elected in history, Lister was still uneasy when he went deep into it. Watching from the side and getting involved himself, the feeling was completely different. Although even if Platini failed, Lister still felt uneasy.
It won't have a serious impact, but it will definitely affect Czech football.
Merkley is Platini's most die-hard supporter after the chairman of the French Football Federation. It can be said that many football federations in Eastern Europe, Central Europe, and Northern Europe currently support Platini. Merkley's contribution is great. Many people
It was Merkley who personally went up to have secret talks and pulled them into Platini's camp.
Therefore, Merkley can be said to be a thorn in the side of Johansson's camp. Johansson himself is very grand, and he may not care about Merkley's small role. But after Johansson is re-elected, people in the Johnson camp may not be so grand, and they will definitely find a soft person.
If you pinch the persimmon, the choice will definitely be Merkley.
After all, Merkley is very weak compared to Springers. Springers is a traitor and logically he will be the first to be hit, but he has the capital to be a traitor. Even if Springers is
After betraying Johansson, it is not easy for Johansson to deal with him. After all, Springers is the chairman of the Dutch Football Association, has been an executive committee member of UEFA for many years, and is also the treasurer of UEFA. It is not a simple matter.
He can be dealt with. But Merkley is very bad. Dealing with him is a matter of minutes. After all, Merkley is nothing in UEFA and has no strength at all.
And by cleaning up Czech football, it will affect List's interests. Czech football is List's last stronghold, and List will not allow anyone to suppress Czech football. The authorities are fans, and the authorities are obsessed with it because it is related to their own interests.
, it is difficult to look at it with a calm mood. Lister was born out of such a situation.
Fortunately, Platini was elected, which relieved Liszt. Oh my god, Platini was elected president of UEFA, which is a great thing for Liszt.
When Platini and Merkley met, Lister played a big role in it. Now that Platini has become the president of UEFA, he will definitely want to return the favor. Should he pay it back with Sparta Prague?
Look after Riester's players in the future. Platini needs to return the favor anyway.
"Yes, Johansson's time has passed."
Micha Listkiewicz was sitting next to Lister and nodded. Micha Listkiewicz is not an ordinary person, he is the current chairman of the Polish Football Association and a big brother in Polish football.
There is a story about his time as chairman of the Polish Football Association.
Polish football was very chaotic at that time, and of course it is very chaotic now. But compared with ten years ago, it is simply heaven and earth. Ten years ago, Polish football was dominated by gangs, football hooligans, and the league was manipulated.
There was also interference in the choice of the referee. At that time, football hooligans and gangsters were causing too much trouble, and there were many personal incidents involving football hooligans. There were even cases where gangsters tortured players to death. These things shocked the entire world of football at that time.
.It is precisely because Polish football is so chaotic that even FIFA finally started to intervene.
In the end, FIFA asked the Polish Football Association to order rectification and asked them to quickly re-elect a football association president. It is not uncommon for FIFA to directly intervene in the affairs of a country's football association. This is even the case. The person elected at that time was Micha
Listkiewicz has been here for ten years. He has become another giant in Polish football. He has always been a talker in Polish football and no one can question him.
"Misha, how is Poland and Ukraine's application for the European Cup going?"
Among the countries currently applying for the 2008 European Cup, Italy has the leading advantage. Compared with countries such as Poland and Ukraine, Italy has a huge advantage, almost an overwhelming advantage. And Johansson and the others have always supported it.
In Italy, everyone thinks that Italy will definitely win. But this time Platini became the president of UEFA, the situation is very different.
"There is no definite answer yet. We still need to work hard."
"How about it, Micha? I asked you to choose Platini, and you made the right choice. Don't worry, you will definitely win this time. It's time for Eastern European countries to host the European Cup."
The venue for the European Cup will be decided at the end of April this year, with three months left. This is considered the first major event after Platini took office. Platini will help and help this matter whether it is public or private.
Poland and Ukraine.
In private. The Italian Football Association is the backbone of the opposition to Platini. After Platini announced his governance ideas, the English media was the most criticized. The Italian media also opposed Platini. The Premier League is strong,
England will definitely be the first to object. German football also looks down on Platini because of Beckenbauer. As for Villar in Spanish football, he is a smart man and will not be casual when the situation is unclear.
statement. Only the Italian Football Association had just experienced the "phone scandal" and came to join in the fun. It must have greatly offended Platini. Poland is different from Ukraine. Between Merkley and List,
Next, they all support Platini.
Yu Gong, he boasted that he wanted to be fair, and his campaign slogan was: Give the football back to those who play it. The meaning is simple and vague, and everyone understands the general meaning. His predecessor Johansson restructured the Champions League.
He has achieved unprecedented success and accumulated unprecedented wealth and income. Now Platini promises to let more people distribute these dividends, thus gaining more votes. In simple words, he supports the weak and suppresses the powerful.
Since he has said so, then between the football powerhouses Italy and Poland and Ukraine, he will definitely choose Poland and Ukraine. Otherwise, how can he fulfill his promise if he cannot win everyone's trust?
"Yes, I should thank you for this."
Micha Listkiewicz nodded. He chose to take the risk to support Platini, which was indeed influenced by List. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more stable for him to honestly vote in favor of Platini in the end?
.But for more benefits, he will publicly support Platini.
Although Platini has just become the president of UEFA, Micha Listkiewicz understands one thing. That is to publicly support Platini, and the final reward will be the most. Platini must be rewarded
Those who strongly supported him at the beginning were either rewarded with a position in UEFA or were rewarded for Polish football.
Since there is going to be a reward, this is of course Rist's contribution. Micha Listkiewicz appreciates it.
"Misha, if you really want to thank me, how about giving me a pass to come and go as I please in your Polish football field?"
Lister is not a good old man, and Lister will never do anything that is not beneficial. Lister relied on Koscielny's choice of nationality to establish a relationship with Micha Listkiewicz, and then influenced him to support Pula
Tiny. This choice is correct, and the rewards will be very generous. Especially once the European Cup is held in Poland and Ukraine, this benefit is not an ordinary benefit. Such benefits will definitely deepen the relationship between Lister and Micha Lister.
relationship between Kaiwicz.
Of course, Lister's active contact with Micha Listkiewicz was not because of friendship. Lister was interested in Poland's football resources. Poland is a country with a population of 30 million. Although Polish football is not
It is considered very strong, but not weak at all. There will be many well-known players in European football in the future.
But countries like Poland, Bulgaria, and Ukraine are different from other countries. In the football world of these countries, many players have local forces behind them. And they are not ordinary forces, they are groups involved in gangs. Many players’ agents are themselves gangsters.
Because of their background, these players will be restricted by these underworlds in whatever they want to do. Although at List's level, he doesn't care about and is not afraid of these underworlds. But Lister has never thought of forcing his way into these places. Because not only has his identity,
And after all, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.
In Polish football, no matter how arrogant those people are, they can't compare with Micha Listkiewicz. This guy is the chairman of the Polish Football Association, and is also the biggest gangster in Polish football. As long as he nods, Reese
Even if you can't go sideways in Polish football, no one will come to trouble List. Of course, List can't go too far.
"You have taken a fancy to our Polish players."
Nothing can only benefit one party. If you want long-term cooperation, you need mutual benefit. This time, Lister gave Micha Listkiewicz a big piece of cake. Of course, he needs to repay Listie.
.
"Well, you have a lot of good Polish players. I've been drooling for a long time. But without the nod of a local snake like you, I wouldn't dare to reach out. I'm not hoping to get your approval."
"Lister, you are scolding me. I am only happy that you come to our Polish football world and I welcome you with both hands. I also hope that you can bring more Polish players to European giants."
Lister smiled. Of course Lister would not believe him. If he dared to reach out to Polish football without his consent, he would not care who it was. After all, those players are from Poland and will not offend the locals for foreign agents.
Local gangsters, local underworld. Therefore, Lister will enter Polish football only with the consent of Micha Listkiewicz.
"You agreed."
"certainly."
"Thanks."
This is what List wants. He has worked hard for several years just to break into Polish football. No talented Polish player can do without List's palm.
"Didi didi——"
"Hi Carlos."
"Okay, okay, I'm willing to talk too. But I'm here in Poland now and I still have some things to be busy with. I'll call you in a few days and we'll meet then."
Lister curled his lips after putting down the phone. The person who called Lister was Carlos Busero, the deputy general manager of Real Madrid. This kid really doesn't understand etiquette. What is Lister's status now and where can he call him in exchange for it? Even if
Even Real Madrid president Florentino doesn't dare to show off like this in front of List.
Not to mention that List is the number one agent in world football, but considering List’s status as a rich man with a net worth of over one billion, he shouldn’t be so casual with List. He actually called List and said he wanted to meet in Madrid.
.I really don’t know how deep the sky and the earth are.
"who?"
"Real Madrid deputy general manager Carlos Busero wants to talk to me about Messi." (To be continued...)
