"Hello, Carl!"

"Hello, Master Huan!"

After the two met by the window, they politely cried and had a drink.

Rumenig just saw Yang Huan chatting with Platini and Infantino.

Although the whole world seems to be eager to peel and cook Platini and Blatter's cramps and cook, in fact, unlike Blatter's betrayal in FIFA, Platini is still very prestigious in UEFA.

This Frenchman is not simple. In the past few years, he has managed UEFA as a whole.

Not long ago, someone proposed to suspend Platini's position as UEFA president and instead to allow the first vice president, Spanish Football Association chairman Bilar temporarily took over. But what's the result?

There was no sound at all, and even the person who made the proposal was silent.

Everyone knows that even if Platini cannot run for the election this time, his confidant Infantino will come forward.

So, Rummenigge knew that if he was not wrong, they should have been discussing the matter about Infantino running for FIFA president.

And everyone knows that Young Master Huan has a huge influence in today's international football world.

"Master Huan, to be honest, I really admire you!" Rumenig said with a smile.

Yang Huan couldn't tell the truth and false, so he smiled, "Is that so? Why?"

"It's really unbelievable to be able to manage the current situation in just a few years."

After hearing this, Yang Huan curled his lips and wanted to say, of course, I am a time traveler.

One of you or two is robbing the players you want in order to compete for high-quality star talents, but in the past four years, I have known where to dig out the players you want from every minute.

Just this point, you won’t have much technical content!

"Now many people are saying that Southampton is already a super rich family that is on par with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. If it were a year ago, or even half a year ago, maybe no one would believe it, but now..."

Ruménig didn't finish his words, but Yang Huan understood the meaning.

In the past six months, especially after Yang Huan established the Miracle Football Group and put Peter Kenyon in full responsibility for the affairs of the Miracle Football Group, many unknown changes have taken place in European football without realizing it.

Everyone knows some things, such as Southampton and Monaco, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Hamburg, Ajax, Benfica and other teams. Everyone knows this in the core circle.

But so what?

As everyone knows, in order to avoid participating in the Champions League, Chelsea even demands that Wittes cannot win the league championship in order to bypass UEFA's rules.

But the young master Huan in front of him is different. He is careless and open, allowing all his teams to appear in the European arena. Although everyone knows that these teams rely on their strength to play, isn’t this violating the regulations?

There is a saying that all rules are set for the weak.

In the eyes of the strong, are the rules useful?

The answer is, it is useful, but it can be changed, and there can be special cases!

"Carl, you didn't come to tell me this, right?" Yang Huan laughed, "Also, if you blame Monaco for stealing Timo Horn you like, then I can't do anything about it. This has nothing to do with me!"

Rumeneg laughed, "Young Master Huan is joking. Now the transfer is over. It's over!"

It sounds like he is really open-minded.

There was news before that Bayern Munich was very dissatisfied with goalkeeper Craft. After failing to introduce Neuer, Bayern Munich was interested in Cologne's Timo Horne and planned to start after a period of inspection.

But as a result, with no news in the transfer market, Monaco suddenly took action and took eight million euros to introduce Timo Horn from Cologne in one night.

German media disclosed that this made Bayern Munich very dissatisfied.

But in Young Master Huan’s opinion, what’s the matter?

In the final analysis, running a football club is about talent competition. Don’t play anyone who can’t afford it!

"Young Master Huan, I'm going to say that I'm here tonight to represent the European Club Association and invite you Southampton to attend the membership meeting held in Nyon, Switzerland a few days later."

After hearing this, Yang Huan frowned and shook her head, "I don't understand very much, Carl, we are not members of the European Club Association, nor are we informal members, why did we invite us to the member conference?"

After hearing this, Rumeneg smiled, "Young Master Huan, this is the case. After consultation and communication from the Executive Committee, we feel that Southampton has made outstanding contributions to European football in the past few years, so we plan to make an exception to invite Southampton to join the European Club Association and become an official member."

"This... seems to be unruly, right?" Yang Huan still frowned.

"If I remember correctly, according to the European Club Association's constitution, any team wants to join the organization and become a formal member, either win five European championship trophys, or apply to become an informal member first, inspect for a period of time, and then become a formal member through replacement."

Speaking of this, Yang Huan smiled awkwardly, "I'll forget it. There are only four European championship trophys in our Southampton's history for more than 100 years, which is not enough!"

The European Club Association's championship trophys require does not include the Super Cup and the Club World Cup, only the Champions League, the UEFA Cup, the previous UEFA Cup and the European Cup.

However, all Southampton European champions won in the past few years after Yang Huan took over, and only four of them were not enough.

As for applying to become an informal member, it is not difficult, but it is difficult to replace it and become a formal member.

Why do you say so?

This has to start with the establishment of the European Club Association.

Everyone knows that among the sixteen founding teams, nine of them are from G14, which means that this is what UEFA recognizes and represents the official organization of European professional clubs. But in the final analysis, it is still controlled by G14.

Especially in recent years, G14 teams have successively joined this organization, and the European Club Association has become an expanded version of the G14 organization.

Like the G14 organization, the most powerful team in the European club association is the giant team.

Since it represents the interests of the wealthy families, they must find ways to control the mid- and downstream teams.

How to control it?

Very simple, it's the rule!

Although the official members of the European Club Association have been expanding their troops, they actually have strict quota controls.

The leagues ranked first to third in the European Championship standings can have five official members, four from fourth to sixth, seventh to fifteenth, three from sixth, sixth to twenty-eighth, two from sixth, and only one from twenty-ninth to fifty-three.

But if it's just like this, it's nothing. The key is the quota limit on the Executive Committee.

The European Club Association's executive committee has a total of fifteen places, eleven of which come from voting elections.

In the leagues from the first to sixth in the European Championship, five executive committee members were selected, seventh to fifteenth, three, sixteen to twenty-eighth, two, twenty-nine to fifty-three, and one.

The remaining four places come from the teams recommended by the European Club Association to UEFA Strategic Committee, and are usually held by giant teams.

Yes or no?

Through this layer of diminishing and strict quota restrictions, power is firmly controlled at the top.

For those mid- and downstream teams, what if there are quotas?

As the saying goes, people are poor and have a weak ambition. Let me ask, what can teams from small national leagues such as Estonia, Luxembourg, or Ireland say in such occasions?

Even if you are asked to speak, once the interests of the wealthy teams are touched, it will be hard to hear the sound of the alone hands.

This is why Young Master Huan said that the rules are set for the weak.

Why can there be six places in the Premier League?

Manchester City does not have five European championship trophys, which does not comply with the regulations stipulated in the European Club Association's constitution, and can make an exception to increase the Premier League quota. So why can Manchester City become an official member?

Yang Huan is not jealous of Manchester City. On the contrary, if he wanted to join, he would have joined long ago.

Monaco, Atletico de Triomphe, Inter Milan, Benfica, Ajax, Basel, Vienna, Prague, and Anderlecht are all official members.

Athens AEK and Hamburg have long been informal members.

Let me ask, if Southampton wants to join, isn’t that easy?

With Young Master Huan’s connections and relationships, what’s the matter every minute?

The problem is that Young Master Huan never thought about joining before, or he would not take the initiative to join!

Rumeneg smiled bitterly when he heard Mr. Huan's words.

Master Huan, the whole world knows that you are the most unruly person. Are you actually telling me the rules now?

If we really want to follow the rules and regulations, we should play all the teams under you out of the European Club Association, but the problem is that we have never done this at all.

On the contrary, we have always turned a blind eye, Master Huan.

But Rumeneg dared not say these words in his heart, and smiled.

"Young Master Huan, there will always be exceptions in everything!"

Yang Huan nodded, feeling funny, an exception?

"Southampton has made such a great contribution to the development of European football in the past few years, so we should naturally treat it exceptionally!"

This is really funny to Master Huan.

It is reasonable to use these words to fool the fans, but is it okay to fool Master Huan?

Rumenig looked at Young Master Huan's expression and felt so depressed.

Others are begging to join the European Club Association, and it depends on the mood of their big guys. If they are unhappy, get out of here.

But you, Mr. Huan, are you good. We came to ask you to enter, but you still hesitate and refuse to enter. Is this aphorism?

Also, after entering, they have to start with the spare tire alliance. Uh, no, it is an informal membership and has enough qualifications. When we are happy, you can become a regular person. After becoming a regular person, we have to look at our expressions.

But Master Huan, you become an official member directly!

You know, as Southampton enters, the Premier League has reached seven places from the current six places.

There are only five places in La Liga and Bundesliga, and Italy even has four places, which is enough to give Premier League teams face!

But Rummenigge can only keep these words and these things in his heart, not in his heart.

In fact, the reason why he took the initiative to invite the saints to the society was ultimately due to the situation.

Over the past period of time, Peter Kenyon's actions in European football have almost driven them crazy.

Also, the Premier League teams have been surprisingly united recently and have advanced and retreated together, which has been a big surprise.

More importantly, Blatter collapsed, and both FIFA and UEFA need to reform.

This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the European Club Association.

Because there is one of the reform issues of FIFA and UEFA, which is to increase capital's voice in professional football and thus enhance the transparency of football operations.
