Carter is more sensitive than Aldrich in this regard, which may be related to his work history. {{wx}
When Aldridge confided his doubts, Carter laughed and said: "UEFA has also entered a countdown stage to war! Think about it, what will it be in one year?"
Aldrich actually didn't care much about football politics, so he asked blankly: "What day? Next year is the World Cup."
Carter sighed helplessly: "Oh my God! One year later, there will be an election for the UEFA president! There is open and covert fighting, and now it has entered the stage of war! Come on, Johansson is 75 years old and has health concerns. He has
Prostate cancer! He has had it many times himself
It hints that he will retire and enjoy his old age! You said, within UEFA, are everyone now preparing to hold a glorious retirement ceremony for Johansson? No, most people must be waiting for him to leave early, and then, look who
Qualified to sit in Johansson’s seat!”
Aldrich's spirit was shaken, and his face showed a look of sudden realization.
This is like a drama where the old emperor is about to abdicate and the princes below begin to compete for the throne.
No wonder at this time, some important officials from UEFA came out to express their opinions, but Johansson remained silent, probably because he was weighing his interests.
Regardless of whether UEFA is really dissatisfied with Millwall, there are definitely people in Europe and some football forces who don’t like Millwall, so making such a voice will win the joy of those forces who hate Millwall.
Or, this is also a position!
Because UEFA’s biggest brand is the Champions League!
The Champions League has become a game for the rich. The rich are only a minority, and the one standing at the top is Millwall.
The deep meaning behind the attack on Millwall may also contain a belief in reforming the current distribution of interests and rules of the game in European football.
Look. Millwall are not even going all out in the Champions League, but they can easily carve up the biggest share of this pie!
Such potential fanning of flames will anger more people. Those who are superficial will be dissatisfied with Millwall, while those who see it through will be dissatisfied with this system!
Aldrich threw a cigarette to Carter and lit another himself. He asked softly: "Johnson is going to abdicate. What is the current situation?"
He should have the answer in his heart, and maybe because he has the answer, he hasn't cared much about it.
However, since the result has not yet been announced, it is always right for him to invest some energy and understand it.
Carter said: "Looking at it now, Johansson's designated successor is the German one."
"Hmm? The German one?"
"Beckenbauer, Johansson has been paving the way for Beckenbauer over the years. The campaign should have started in 2002 after Johansson failed to challenge Blatter. I think that failure also made Johansson
I had the idea of abdicating, so I tried my best to cultivate and support Beckenbauer."
Aldrich scratched his head, his mind a little confused.
The German Caesar.
So why will Platini be elected a year later?
Aldrich vaguely remembers that Platini overturned Johansson's rule rather than defeating Beckenbauer in the competition.
He didn't know much about the details, and now that he heard Carter say this, he was really confused.
Deep down in his heart, after more than ten years in European football, he naturally hopes that Beckenbauer can succeed Johansson. No matter what Johansson's reputation is, a "political power" leader and policy decision-maker must be
If you can't satisfy everyone in the world, from the village chief to the head of state, you can't really formulate policies that everyone is happy with.
But in the core concept, Johansson represents the traditional values of European football. Naturally, he also believes that Beckenbauer can continue this policy, so he will fully support Beckenbauer.
But what about Platini?
This famous football superstar at that time seemed to be a "politician".
Aldrich couldn't think about these things, so he simply stopped thinking about them.
Exactly on this day.
Beckenbauer spoke.
Perhaps it was Johansson's instruction, or perhaps it was his personal position. In short, he spoke for Millwall and countered the remarks of UEFA officials.
"Some people don't jump to conclusions if they don't understand football. Coaches who have coached teams all understand the importance of rationally allocating players' physical fitness and using different strategies for different games. It's hard for me to understand that someone from UEFA actually questioned the World Cup.
Cup, the coaching decision of the six-time Champions League champion coach! If Millwall retains its strength in the Champions League
If they are eliminated, countless people will criticize Millwall's formation. However, with Millwall qualifying, UEFA's criticism seems inappropriate and lacks a valid reason. The European Champions Cup is indeed incomparable.
Glory has top-level influence, but this is a competitive sports event, not an entertainment performance!"
It's hard to say that Beckenbauer is defending Millwall.
At least from what he said, it sounds like it, but the deeper meaning must be that he is targeting the forces hostile to UEFA and Johansson.
What Beckenbauer wants to express is very clear. Others criticize Johansson for turning the Champions League into a profit tool for the monopoly of wealthy clubs. However, if you think about it conversely, the Champions League itself is winner-takes-all, with the strong taking more!
This is not a paradise where everyone is equal!
If the Champions League really turns into a charity entertainment event where everyone is happy and benefits, then this event that brings together the strong to determine the strongest among the champions will deviate from the purpose of its original creation.
Despite Beckenbauer speaking out for Millwall, Aldridge kept the club silent.
To be honest, Aldrich has no idea what is going on within UEFA.
Do you really have a problem with Millwall, or are you just trying to use Millwall as a pretext, and are you secretly trying to fight for next year's presidential election?
If it's the former, then it's just a "quarrel" stage at this stage, and Aldridge can tolerate a few complaints.
But if it is the latter, Millwall must remain aloof and participate in the games or battles in the political circle. This is very risky, because no matter who wins, Millwall will officially and publicly establish a lot of enemies.
!
Be public when you can, and be low-key when you should be low-key.
Millwall's Champions League group stage is over, and the London derby will continue on the weekend to challenge Crystal Palace as a guest.
In London, Millwall has three major enemies with hatred: West Ham United, Chelsea, and Crystal Palace.
The other opponents in London are all ordinary neighbors, left over from history or passed down from generation to generation, and there is no hostility between bitterness and hatred.
Crystal Palace has the lowest hatred.
Last season, Millwall changed its direction and helped Crystal Palace successfully avoid relegation. Crystal Palace also responded to Millwall in a different direction and issued a blessing speech for Southgate's retirement.
A deal between the two teams 12 years ago made Crystal Palace fans feel unhappy. After Southgate officially hung up his boots and retired, everything disappeared.
When the two teams met this season, Crystal Palace was weak. Even with the home advantage, it could not stop Millwall from crushing them.
Ronaldinho returned to the team to defend the Ballon d'Or. He gave two assists in this game. Millwall also successfully scored 3 points in the away game with a score of 2:0, winning 11 consecutive league games!
After two consecutive draws, Chelsea struggled to defeat Wigan Athletic 1:0 at Stamford Bridge and successfully ended their decline with a win, but the gap in goal difference was widened by Millwall.
At the end of the 16th round of the Premier League, the entire Millwall team got on a plane to fly to Asia.
In Japan, championship teams from six continents gather here.
European champions, England's Millwall.
Copa Libertadores champion, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
African champion, Al Ahly of Egypt.
Asian champion, Al-Ittihad of Saudi Arabia.
Oceania champions, Australia's Sydney FC.
CONCACAF Champion, Saprisa of Costa Rica.
Strictly speaking, this is not the first Club World Cup, because there was a Club World Cup in early 2000, but it ended in failure. FIFA finally couldn't help but want to touch this piece of cake, so the Toyota Cup came into being.
History, in fact, is still a matter of changing the soup without changing the medicine. It is just tasteless, and adding more teams to create boos has no effect.
Europe and South America are the main forces in world football, so the champions from Europe and South America are taken care of and directly have the top four spots.
The champion teams from the other four continents compete against each other, and the winner advances to the semi-finals, and then competes separately with Millwall and Sao Paulo.
Aldridge led the team to Yokohama, Japan, and declined invitations from tournament organizers for commercial activities, preferring to earn less money and give the players more rest time.
Although it is impossible to have a good rest in a foreign country after adjusting for the time difference, it is still better than no rest at all.
You must know that after playing in the Club World Cup, Millwall will enter a devilish schedule when they return to England.
On the 11th and 12th, the games between the four championship teams from non-Europe and South America were quickly concluded.
Ittihad and Saprisa advance to semi-finals.
The most speechless thing about this unlucky Club World Cup is that not only the damn 34th place has to be decided, but the damn 56th place has to be decided!
We need to make a specific ranking of the six participating teams!
So Sydney FC and Al Ahli lost, but they still have to stay here and wait for a few days to play a 56-place final!
Just looking at this competition format, Aldrich felt as if he had suddenly stepped from an oasis into a desert, as if he were participating in a very amateur and entertainment competition.
Fifa is not polite. It invites championship teams from all continents and spends them to death. Play as many games as you can, and play as many games as possible. All it takes is money...
On the 14th, South American champions Sao Paulo and Etihad took the lead in Tokyo.
In the end, as expected, Sao Paulo defeated Al Ittihad and secured a ticket to the final.
On the 15th, Millwall will play in Yokohama against Costa Rica's Saprisa.
Just hearing the name of the opponent and where the opponent is from makes Millwall's main players less interested. Perhaps the scenery of Japan can arouse their interest more than playing against the opponent. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better.
