The temperature in the room was not low, but Mijatovic felt a slight chill. For him, the discussions over the past few days were meaningless. He even felt a little gloating in his heart. Anyway, he and Calderon both
Get out of here, g14 has disintegrated, let’s see how Florentino can still pretend. Mijatovic doesn’t have much affection for Real Madrid, Real Madrid is just a club where he played.
"We are pleased to have reached a unanimous agreement."
UEFA CEO Merkley was happy to announce the result. This time, Blatter and Platini took a step back and made a big step forward for giants like G14.
On March 20, 2006, the Belgian club Charleroi, with the support of g14, filed a lawsuit against FIFA in court. The cause of the matter was a friendly match in November 2004, in which Morocco and Buji
In a friendly match in Nafaso, Morocco international Aoumos, who was playing for Charleroi, was seriously injured and had to be out for eight months. Then Charleroi filed a claim with FIFA, but was rejected by Blatter. In G14
With support, Charleroi took FIFA to court.
Of course, a small Charleroi club, whether it is FIFA or UEFA, can slap him to death. Unfortunately, behind him is G14, a powerful organization in European football. Although Charleroi is not G14
member, but because the same thing happened to g14 member Lyon, this made g14 determined to support Charleroi. After Lyon's French international Abidal was injured while representing the national team, the club also requested FIFA
Compensation was offered but was still rejected.
That’s why they supported Charleroi Club behind the scenes and demanded 870 million euros in compensation from FIFA. It can be said that they did not give FIFA any face. Many media even speculated that if this case goes to trial, the International Football Association will
The Football Federation and g14 will be completely at odds.
Why are both FIFA and UEFA eager to disband G14? It’s for this reason. After Platini attacked G14, he did not pursue the victory and continue to suppress it. As the saying goes, don’t chase the enemy when you are poor, but Platini is
Knowing that if the suppression continues, g14 is likely to be defeated. Therefore, the cooperation between FIFA and UEFA has given some benefits to g14.
In the past few days of negotiations, the two sides have reached a preliminary agreement. The two major football federations agreed to the g14's proposal to redistribute the profit sharing of the World Cup, European Cup and UEFA Champions League. Players and affiliates participating in the above events
The club will receive partial financial compensation. G14 also dropped its lawsuit against the two major federations and agreed to dissolve g14.
For Platini, it really solved a serious problem. Therefore, UEFA are all overjoyed. Even disbanding G14 will become a major achievement of Platini. Therefore, Platini looks on with a smile.
Everything in front of him. He was in a good mood, chatting and laughing frequently with the two men next to him, Brat.
Laporta looked at Mijatovic next to him and sneered in his heart. In G14, Real Madrid is the well-deserved leader, especially during the Florentino period, Real Madrid dominated European football with their G14. They are constantly improving.
The status of Real Madrid. How strong Florentino was at that time. Senior UEFA officials had to give in to him. The most glorious time of g14 was also when Florentino was the chairman of Real Madrid. Now g14 has been disbanded and he is
Laporta, Real Madrid's arch-enemy, is only happy. In G14, Barcelona didn't have a high say in Barcelona. He was also suppressed by Real Madrid. Now he is really happy, allowing Real Madrid to continue to be arrogant.
This idea is not just for Laporta, but also for Liverpool and Dortmund. In G14, Manchester United and Bayern are the dominant players. Their favorite thing in G14 is to suppress the teams in the same league.
Rich clubs. Therefore, they have always been very dissatisfied. This time g14 was disbanded so simply because there were many conflicts between these giant clubs.
For clubs like Barcelona, Liverpool, and Borussia Dortmund, they have already made concessions to FIFA and UEFA with the help of g14. They have obtained enough benefits in the distribution of interests in the World Cup, European Cup, and Champions League, so the dissolution of g14 has made them
It doesn't matter to them at all. They even want g14 to disband.
"This is a day of special significance in the history of football. Clubs, the most basic element of football competition and the basis for prosperity, have finally joined the pyramid of football governing bodies."
After the meeting, Blatter and Platini walked out with smiles on their faces. Blatter said enthusiastically to reporters that this was "a day of special significance."
Platini said, "In the future, football governing bodies will listen to the club's demands, and the club will be well organized both institutionally and financially. The union is not a political means, but a reasonable process."
After the meeting, only a few top leaders of the top clubs had ugly faces. Including Mijatovic of Real Madrid, David Gill of Manchester United, Hoeness of Bayern, and Galliani of Milan all had gloomy faces because
This incident hit them the hardest. Although they got enough benefits, as long as g14 exists, they have enough qualifications to bargain with them. But now that g14 has been disbanded, several of the top giants in European football have lost their original prestige.
.
On the contrary, those powerful clubs who were suppressed by the top giants in G14 were overjoyed. Laporta faced reporters with a happy face and said with a smile: "Friendship and trust are the basis of football matches. I congratulate the UEFA President on his completion."
It has brought about the changes he promised when he took office. This is a win-win result for all parties.”
After finishing speaking, he even said excitedly: "We feel like we are back in the embrace of the European football family."
It was not just Laporta who was excited. Even Arsenal's executive director Edelman made a little joke in front of reporters: "Now, it is much easier for us to buy people from the Croatian or Serbian leagues. We can
The transfer was settled during a regular meeting with the other manager."
Because after the dissolution of g14, a new club organization, the European Club Association, was immediately established. Different from g14, the European Club Association has a wide range of members, including the top leagues of all UEFA member states, and has also received approval from UEFA and World Football Federation.
Officially recognized.
And Lyon president Aulas, who fully helped Platini this time and G14 chairman Aulas this time, said directly: "We have cleared the obstacles for the establishment of a new management model. This is a necessary sacrifice.
"
…………
"Haha. G14 has finally been disbanded. Platini probably breathed a sigh of relief."
"An era is over."
Pini Zahavi shook his head. For Lister and Pini Zahavi, what happened in the past few days was not too sudden. Even the content of the meeting was known to them in time. But for people outside
For me, this is a very big thing. Therefore, many people were shocked when they heard the news that g14 was going to be disbanded. Even many media were shocked.
In the past two days, all media reports have focused on the news about the disbandment of g14. Some people applauded his disbandment, while others expressed pessimism. Anyway, there are different opinions. Everyone is talking about Gillette.
"Chelsea has done a great job and UEFA will reward them."
Lister looked at Pini Zahavi and said with a smile. This time g14 was disbanded. Although Chelsea was only an external force, his contribution was very large. It happened that FIFA and UEFA were facing a head-on confrontation with g14. In order to counterattack, g14
The important moment when FIFA and UEFA suppressed the expansion of the G14 was a fatal blow to the G14. If Chelsea had not stood up at that time, but instead actively participated in the expansion of the G14, clubs like Tottenham, Atletico Madrid, and Werder Bremen would definitely have
It is also an active participation. It is really possible for g14 to successfully expand to forty teams. Once g14 really includes all the strong teams in European football, then it is really possible to compete with FIFA and UEFA. Such a huge force,
FIFA and UEFA certainly cannot directly suppress it.
Therefore, for Platini and UEFA, Chelsea is an absolute contributor. This is the case in this industry. You owe people a favor. So you have to pay it back no matter what method you use. This is a must.
"Reward? It's just one season. It's impossible for Platini and UEFA to truly regard Chelsea as their own."
Pini Zahavi is very calm. Although Chelsea has made great efforts in disbanding G14, there will be some benefits this season or next season. But in the final analysis, Chelsea cannot become a club that UEFA really likes. UEFA is
He will not support Chelsea as one of his own.
"Yes. It's not just Chelsea, it's impossible for the entire Premier League."
List also nodded, agreeing with Pini Zahavi. This time the G14 was disbanded, no club's contribution could be compared with Chelsea. If Chelsea were a club in other leagues, maybe they would be the focus of UEFA in the next few years.
A club that supports it will not be as strong as Barcelona.
It's a pity that Chelsea is an upstart first, and then it is a Premier League club. After entering the 21st century, the Premier League is too strong. This can be seen from the Premier League's results in the Champions League. In the 0304 season, Benitez led Liverpool to win the Champions League.
Four and a half seasons have passed since then, and every season there has been a Premier League team in the Champions League final. In other words, there have been Premier League teams in the Champions League finals in the past four seasons, and the Premier League team has won three of them.
UEFA Champions League champion. Last season, Premier League clubs won three of the top four spots. This season, all four Premier League teams have entered the top 16.
And the Premier League is not only strong at the moment, they are also constantly recruiting players to make themselves stronger. Last season, Manchester City spent more than 80 million pounds, Manchester United spent more than 50 million pounds, and Liverpool also spent 4,000 pounds.
Ten thousand pounds, Arsenal spent thirty million pounds. There are not many wealthy clubs in European football who can spend so much money in one summer.
The strength of the Premier League has threatened the interests of UEFA. If the Premier League continues to be so strong, then the Champions League can be renamed the FA Cup. At that time, it will greatly affect the influence of the Champions League, because by then the aesthetic fatigue, who will still
Look at the Champions League. The Champions League is the biggest treasure trove of UEFA. They will not allow any factors to affect the money-drawing of the Champions League. Therefore, the Premier League must be attacked by UEFA. If it were La Liga or any other league in Serie A that is so strong now,
UEFA will crack down on them.
Later, many people said that Platini was the godfather of Barcelona and that UEFA took care of them. In fact, they were not wrong. UEFA did take care of Barcelona and supported Barcelona. At some critical moments, it would be biased.
Barcelona. But the reason is definitely not as rumored, because Barcelona helped the disbandment of G14. During the dissolution of G14, Chelsea's contribution was several times that of Barcelona. Even Lyon's contribution is definitely far more than Barcelona.
One of the reasons why Barcelona is favored by UEFA and supported by Platini is the relationship with Villar, the chairman of the Spanish Football Federation. Villar originally had a good relationship with Real Madrid, but later the relationship with Real Madrid began to deteriorate.
In the end, Villar began to support Barcelona. Villar is a real powerhouse in UEFA, and many people even think that he is the president of UEFA after Platini. Therefore, Platini supports the Spanish team.
It was also to win over Villar's connections.
Another thing is that in the current European football world, there are only two teams that can compete with the Premier League. And they are both Spanish giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona. Serie A has fallen because of "Calciopoli". Historically
Inter Milan's triple crown is just a return to form, and Serie A clubs can at best become cannon fodder for UEFA to block the Premier League.
Bayern, which was supposed to be strong, is not doing well now. So only Real Madrid and Barcelona are left. Among these two teams, Platini chose Barcelona not because Barcelona is the best. On the contrary, it is because Barcelona is the best.
It is much worse than Real Madrid. Real Madrid is too strong. Especially the fact that G14 can cause such a big fuss has a lot to do with Florentino, who was very strong later. In the process of opposing FIFA and UEFA
Among them, Real Madrid is the vanguard. In the g14's resistance to FIFA and UEFA, Real Madrid is the leader and the frontrunner. If the current president of Real Madrid is Florentino, UEFA will not be able to dissolve the g14.
It's easier.
Therefore, in order to suppress the Premier League and establish a new club, UEFA chose Barcelona. Of course, this is an objective reason, and there is also the promotion of UEFA officials, the contact between Barcelona executives and Platini, etc. But.
It's definitely not because of the disbandment of g14.
"But we at Chelsea are not afraid. Since 2003, we have been squeezed out by others until now."
Pini Zahavi smiled. So far, Chelsea has not benefited much from referees. This time, with the help of Platini and UEFA, Chelsea has been integrated into the mainstream European clubs. It will be established soon.
The first chairman of the Club Alliance was Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon, which was Platini's first return for Chelsea. This will greatly improve Chelsea's status in European football.
"G14 is gone, Platini's position is stable." (To be continued...)
