Chapter 1202: Start talking about business!

Brussels Grand Place, Hilton Hotel.
In the business meeting room, members of the G14 organization have a total of 19 club representatives.
In addition to the founding members of the 14 clubs, there are four clubs that have joined after the review in 2002, and Liverpool, which returned to the top of Europe last summer.
The 19 clubs are:
From England: Millwall, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal.
From Germany: Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Leverkusen.
From Spain: Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia.
From Italy: Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan.
From France: Lyon, Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain.
From the Netherlands: Ajax, Eindhoven.
From Portugal: Porto.
In addition to the representatives of the 19 clubs, UEFA Secretary General David Taylor attended the meeting. He will wait for the G14 to make a resolution and then sign an agreement with the G14, or not.
The G14 was caught in internal and external troubles before and after the
regime change
in UEFA.
Naturally, Platini took office as UEFA President and began to suppress the G14.
The internal worry is that the French club that first had the G14 expressed public support during the Platini campaign. At the same time, in the first half of 2007, due to the rotating chairman, Dyne from Arsenal stepped down at Arsenal and then lost the rotating chairman. Qualifications, leading to vacancies in nominal leaders within G14.
Carter, the representative of Millwall himself, has been in control of the situation, but in the same period, Millwall encountered a terrifying "blood case" in the European War, and Millwall's situation inside the G14 was extremely embarrassing!
The subtlety of the situation is that Millwall can only be silent. In the absence of a specific plan and allowing G14 allies to see the possibility of realization, it is impossible for Millwall to order G14 to protest what is going on, because G14 is an interest. Groups, not idealist alliances, simple struggles are meaningless to other G14 members. They must be tangible benefits. Fighting for these is the reality.
When the time for the annual replacement of the rotating chairman came, the first Ligue 1 boss, Lyon Chairman Olas became the rotating chairman, so a funny scene of "Monkey as King" appeared inside the G14.
After the two summits in the second half of 2007, other giants remained silent, Olas thought he could serve as a leader, especially Millwall withdrew from the European War, just like Juventus, Dortmund and other missed European war teams, in disguise Lose the right to speak.
At today's summit, the atmosphere of the meeting was as deadly as ever. It seems that most of the club's representatives are pitiful and do not want to talk more.
Manchester United representatives Gil, Real Madrid Chairman Calderon, Barcelona President Laporta, AC Milan representatives Galliani, Millwall representatives Carter, Bayern Munich Rummenigge, etc., all the representatives of European giants remained silent.
The rotating chairman Auras presided over the meeting, and proclaimed the victory of G14 in this stage!
That's right, he regarded FIFA's conditional agreement with UEFA as a victory for G14.
In the past, their players were injured in international games, and the club did not receive any compensation. In the unlikely event that the star is injured, this loss is difficult to estimate. Now, FIFA and UEFA are willing to give them a certain amount of financial protection. It became "victory".
In addition, he is also expressing that there is nothing wrong with Platini...
UEFA Secretary-General Taylor attended the meeting. This was the first time he stepped into the G14 group summit. The scene of the meeting made him feel inexplicable.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Millwall, AC Milan, Bayern, who should have a very strong voice, are the giants that constitute the most glorious picture of European football. Are they all silent?
And Lyon, a dragon role in the European War, even said that the French team is as small as dust in the history of the Champions League!
You know, in the history of the Champions League, the Ligue 1 team won the championship only once, in Marseille in 1993!
However, that year's Marseille was written into history, it was a shocking match-fixing case!
It's a shameful page for European football!
It is conceivable that the Ligue 1 club should theoretically have no status and right to speak in G14!
When it comes to the French social system, legal system, and elitism are not allowed in the field of football, this system is too restrictive. For example, Lyon does not allow him to build a stadium of 60,000 people or buy big names. All originated from the French legal regulations, financial system and other factors, which caused the French team itself to have some congenital deficiencies. It does not matter how to play at home, but in the European War, it is really scary, the team is as bland as water, colorless and tasteless .
With these in mind, Taylor's mood fell to the bottom.
There have been rumors of a split within the G14.
The French club supports Platini, who is also a French. What is behind the scenes is unknown. Perhaps it is that Platini will promote the reform of the local French football policy and will promote the future of France allowing elitism in the football field. None of this matters.
The point is, Mo said that a Lyon, the algorithm of the national team all tied together, is unable to represent the real core will of the G14!
Taylor's concern is that if Real Madrid President Calderon raises an objection, how should the passionate Olas end?
Does he have the courage to challenge the representatives of Spanish giants?
How can he have the courage to unify the overall will of the G14?
After Olas introduced the main discussion of this meeting, Taylor also made a certain agreement on behalf of UEFA and FIFA to explain, and then things went smoothly than Taylor thought.
There is no fierce argument, no strong opposition from the opposition.
Another 18 club representatives, the Ligue 1 team took the lead in voting, Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille, agree!
Ajax, Eindhoven, Porto, the three giant representatives from the European second-tier leagues dare not speak out.
At this time, 10 years ago, Ajax became famous in Europe. 10 years later, Ajax has become a top-ranked edge powerhouse in Europe.
They belong to the role of a younger brother who eats and eats behind the big brother. The uppermost giants inside the G14 have not expressed their position. They dare not easily pick up the sidelines. Besides, they really want to follow the crowd, and they must not follow Lyon or Marseille. Club, it is simply a self-proclaimed identity!
On the England side, Carter nodded first, and then Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal representatives agreed.
Rummenigge nodded, Calderon nodded, La Porta nodded, Galliani nodded...
Taylor's eyes widened with an incredible expression, and he was shocked!
So Easy?
After these giants nodded, other teams would have no room to resist.
Within G14, all 19 clubs voted unanimously to accept the agreement between FIFA and UEFA!
Taylor had to interject: "This agreement may not be clearly stated. At the time of signing this agreement, G14 must announce its dissolution!"
No one answered him, the giants just looked at Taylor with a lukewarm look, as if to say: We are not blind and deaf, what is in the agreement, we can see, what you just said, we Audible too!
Taylor withdrew his gaze embarrassedly, and he became very comfortable and happy for a while.
G14 compromised!
UEFA and FIFA's serious problems will be removed!
At the wall of the conference room, there is a row of lawyers. That is the team hired by G14. To sign the agreement, it is definitely not that FIFA and UEFA took an agreement and they signed it. If there is a trap in the agreement?
So after the G14 internal vote was passed, the lawyer team began to be busy and began to review the terms of the agreement.
The atmosphere in the conference room is still the same as the backwaters. No one whispered and talked, and each sat as if nothing had happened, waiting for the agreement to leave.
Lyon’s Chairman Olas was pleased at this time. He saw everyone’s silence, and he was scolded by Carter in the face last year. At this time, he smiled and said:
Now there is nothing bad about UEFA’s policy. Look, Did Liverpool and Arsenal benefit?"
Everyone can understand the subtext in his words.
Arsenal were able to participate in the Champions League this season because Millwall withdrew from the European War.
If it weren't for Millwall's Champions League defeat last season that Liverpool won the Champions League, it's really hard to say.
Ha ha.
In response to Auras, only many giant representatives chuckled.
Some laughter is cold, while others are obviously full of ridicule.
Auras wasn’t interested in asking for it. After the team of lawyers confirmed that the agreement was okay, representatives of the clubs and the UEFA Secretary-General signed the agreement.
After the agreement was actually signed, Taylor breathed a sigh of relief. He shook hands with the representatives of the clubs, and then could not wait to leave to hold a press conference outside to announce this "historic event."
This is UEFA's victory!
The chaos within UEFA will also come into force after this agreement, G14 will disappear after the dissolution!
Auras and Marseille, the Paris Saint-Germain club representatives also got up and left. They wanted to show their faces. Probably, go to Pratini for credit.
Just after they left, the representatives of Ajax, Eindhoven and Porto also got up and left. They just followed the crowd, and they didn’t have any personal claims, or even if there were, but the voice was too weak, inside the G14 , Who will listen to them?
Even they are panic and afraid of being abandoned by the G14. After all, their competitiveness is really not the core strength of European football.
Just as they got up, a voice sounded.
Carter said softly: "Three, please stay with us, our meeting has not started yet."
The representatives of the three clubs stopped and first showed an inexplicable expression, immediately looked at the atmosphere of the scene, and hurried back to their position.
Oh shit!
It's so weird!
The representatives of the G14 members of the four major leagues of England, Italy, West, Germany and Germany have not moved!
What does Carter mean?
Isn't the meeting over?
What is it that has not started yet?
One minute later, the door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed away from the outside, and a group of people walked into the meeting room with their heads high.
The leader in the middle is Audridge in a suit and leather with a confident smile!
Behind him are Beckenbauer on the left and Chelsea boss Abu on the right!
In the future, there are more than a dozen people, all of whom are representatives of well-funded sponsors in the European sports field, as well as representatives of TV broadcast giants!
The representatives of Ajax, Eindhoven, Porto, and the three clubs were dumbfounded, and their hearts were suddenly thunderous. They saw that the lifeless atmosphere of the scene changed subtly as the expressions of everyone in the participants changed, because of the expressions of those giants. In, there is obvious excitement!
Anyone who is stupid knows what will happen next, and suddenly the representatives of these three clubs have a coldness in their hearts.
Fuck!
fortunately!
Fortunately, I did not leave with the three representatives from France!
Aldridge walked to the top of the long table at the conference table and unzipped the boss chair, unbuttoned the suit jacket, naturally sat down, moved forward, raised his waist, raised his smile, and his right hand was on the table. Knocking on the door gently tapped the table twice.
Dangdang!
"Gentlemen, let's start talking about business now."
