Chapter 987 The countryside surrounds the city

There have been many rumors outside about the dissolution of the g14 organization.

Some people say that Chelsea turned into hatred because of love and wanted to join the G14 organization, but was not accepted, and eventually turned to join UEFA.

But this statement is not true.

In 2008, the g14 organization realized that the crisis was coming and wanted to expand its army, and quickly increased from the original 18 teams to forty teams, improving its ability to compete in front of UEFA.

Chelsea was included in the list of military expansion at that time.

But Peter Kenyon, who was still Chelsea's CEO at the time, finally declined the invitation from G14, and there were even several other teams, all of which were the same.

This mutation eventually led to the g14 military expansion plan temporarily stranded, and internal morale was greatly reduced.

Some say that Barcelona is an insider of UEFA and has disintegrated the G14 organization from the inside. Therefore, as soon as G14 was disbanded, Barcelona immediately won the triple crown and became the strongest team in Europe, establishing the Dream Three dynasty.

But is this statement reliable?

If there is no conflict within the g14 organization, what big waves can Barcelona make?

You should know that although Barcelona's chairman Laporta was one of the vice presidents of the Executive Committee when the European Club Association was established, he did not have a strong voice in European football, let alone, there was an executive committee chairman above him.

Even within g14, Barcelona has no say at all.

It can only be said that the dissolution of the g14 organization is more due to the inability to effectively balance and control of internal conflicts of interest, and coupled with the failure to expand the army, it eventually collapsed under the temptation of UEFA.

Rummenigge and others have repeatedly reflected on the reasons for the dissolution of the G14 organization, and when establishing the European Club Association, they learned lessons and appropriately delegated power to midstream and lower-stream teams, which led to the current European Club Association constitution.

Not only that, the European Club Association seems more open and tolerant than the G14 organization.

For capital upstarts such as Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, they have all opened the green light.

Because they knew that if they were not accepted, sooner or later, this group of capital upstarts would compete with the European Club Association like Chelsea did back then.

Even the tragedy of the dissolution of the g14 organization may not have happened again.

There are also some dissidents, and European Club Associations have also absorbed them.

For example, Hannover 96 in the Bundesliga.

If you want to say that in the Bundesliga, no matter how you queue up, the quota for entering the European Club Association will not fall on Hannover's 96th, right? Not to mention that before him, there were old-fashioned teams such as Frankfurt, Wolfsburg, Hamburg and Werder Bremen.

But this piece of pie that fell from the sky hit Hanover Jiuliu.

Why him?

Because Hannover is a hardcore dissident in the Bundesliga, Martin Kinder is committed to abolishing a series of restrictions such as the Bundesliga 50 plus one. What is the role of these clauses?

That is to ensure Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga.

Just imagine, if the Bundesliga opened up capital and attracted foreign capital to influx, Bayern Munich could have such a transcendent status as it is now?

Last season, the rise of Hamburg almost caused Bayern Munich to rise. If there were a few more players, such as Red Bull in the Bundesliga, a Middle East consortium, an American consortium, or even a consortium in Africa and Asia, would Bayern Munich have no idea?

As for financial health, ok, this is very simple. In front of professional financial professionals, it is as easy as playing house.

Therefore, if the Bundesliga wants to relax the restrictive policies of 50 plus one, the biggest resistance comes from Bayern Munich.

Regarding dissidents like Hannover 96, Rummenigge believes that the best way is to include dissidents within their jurisdiction.

Therefore, Hannover became one of the five teams in the Bundesliga in 96, along with Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Schalke Zero Four and Leverkusen.

In the past few years, the bigwigs of the European Club Association are quite satisfied with the set of rules they have worked hard and racked their brains. They are constantly using this set of rules to absorb potential threats and continuously strengthen their voice in European football.

It should be said that they had a lot of fun and had a smooth time until recently.

Just like all rules, as long as they are rules, there will be loopholes.

Recently, Manchester United's Ed Woodward has begun to be very active within the organization. He seems to be very interested in the executive seat of the European Club Association and has also attracted a lot of votes.

But this is not the point, because Manchester United is a veteran team, so it doesn’t matter if they become the executive committee.

According to the current roster, Arsenal is one of the four teams of UEFA Strategic Committee. Even if Manchester United becomes the leader, the Premier League will occupy two seats in the fifteen executive committees, which is no big deal.

The point is that in the competition for executive seats, Monaco and Inter Milan are also making efforts to win votes, and the call is very high.

When the European Club Association was established, Inter Milan was one of the executive members, but in recent years it has been replaced by Juventus, and AC Milan's position as an executive member has never been shaken.

Now, Inter Milan is making a comeback.

But Monaco stood up to compete with Lyon, which was a bit unexpected.

This is just the first echelon.

According to the rules, the first echelon is the league that ranks first to sixth in European points, with a total of five executive members selected.

If we put aside the unshakable chairman of the Bundesliga, Ruménig, not to mention, we will select four.

Manchester United, Monaco and Inter Milan each account for one, who is the rest?

It is estimated that the old-fashioned giant Real Madrid is the most likely.

But this is not the point either.

In the second echelon, the seventh to fifteenth leagues, there will be three places. As a result, Ajax from the Netherlands, Anderlecht from Belgium, and Basel from Switzerland, all compete.

You should know that the second tier teams are all Ukraine, Belgium, the Netherlands, Turkey, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and other leagues, and these teams are all powerful teams in the second tier team and are well-known.

Especially Ajax, the old G14 team, is also considered a veteran team in the European Club Association.

In the third echelon, Vienna, Austria also came forward to run for election, and the call for it was very high.

Another team is likely to be the Celtics of Scotland.

Then the problem arises.

If Monaco, Inter Milan, Ajax, Anderlecht, Basel and Vienna, Austria all get the seats they want as they want, what will be the result?

The result is that Yang Huan holds six executive seats in his hand!

There are 15 seats in total, and you have six.

According to the European Club Association, any decision must be approved by more than two-thirds of the members of the Executive Committee before it can be effective. In other words, Yang Huan has a veto power!

From now on, what Yang Huan said may not count for any major event in the European Club Association, but if Yang Huan doesn’t nod, it will definitely not count for it. Then other teams will not be able to flatter you and ask you for good?

What's more, Manchester United and Arsenal are Premier League teams, so who knows how close they are to Southampton?

In recent years, the Premier League has always had ambitions that surpass other leagues.

It can be said that Young Master Huan’s move is even more rogue than a hooligan, and the countryside surrounds the city!

Rummenigge had known before that Yang Huan had developed vigorously in Europe and opened up his own football empire, but he had never paid attention to what happened to the teams Yang Huan acquired.

But not long ago, when he heard about Peter Kenyon's active operation of several teams running for the executive committee, he suddenly realized and was shocked.

Nimei, these teams are not bought casually, they all go for the executive seats.

It can even be said that from the first tier to the fourth tier, there are Yang Huan's teams, or teams close to Yang Huan.

As for the fifth tier, more than 20 teams are too cost-effective to grab a seat, and they are completely ignored by Yang Huan.

Rummenigge knew exactly how much Peter Kenyon was in European football.

This guy's connections, resources and service abilities are not inferior to him at all.

Therefore, Rummenigge knew very well that if Peter Kenion mastered these resources with Yang Huan's strong support, he might even be threatened to his position as chairman.

In this case, Rummenigge also felt that he should take action.

So he took the initiative to help contact and create conditions for Southampton to join the European Club Association.

Not only that, he also took the initiative to find Yang Huan, hoping to appease the upstart who has more and more say in European football.

But he never expected that Young Master Huan was still unmoved.

He knew in his heart that Yang Huan was not as tempting as he seemed on the surface, because, if he really had nothing to ask for, why did Peter Kenyon do so many things?

Even, how long has it been since the secret layout?

Therefore, it is a lie to say that he has nothing to ask for. It can only be said that the chips he has opened are not high enough.

Thinking of this, Rumeneg suddenly smiled slightly, "Master Huan, I wonder if you have heard of the reform of the UEFA Executive Committee?"

He can guarantee that Yang Huan will definitely know.

Because Platini and Infantino must have told him a long time ago.

"Oh, do you want to reform?" Yang Huan was obviously pretending to be stupid.

Rumenig called out inwardly, Sure enough, this Young Master Huan had a lot of plans.

"I'm not hiding it from Young Master Huan, UEFA wants to reform. I have reached an agreement with them before. Among the fifteen members of the Executive Committee, our club representatives will get two seats."

"Is that true?" Yang Huan asked in surprise.

But where was there any surprise in his tone?

Rummenigge was depressed. It turned out that in the eyes of Master Huan, this UEFA executive committee was nothing!

You know, these fifteen executive members are in charge of UEFA. This time the club was able to win two seats for the first time, which is already a great victory.

As long as we have this beginning, we will slowly plan and slowly expand the club's influence in UEFA. Who dares to say that there is no hope of controlling UEFA in the future?

You know, compared with those who are the wine bags, this group of people in the club are all capable elites!

Rumeneg knew in his heart that what Mr. Huan wanted this time was probably the quota.

Masturbating, there were only two places to join the center of UEFA's power. Rummenigge himself must have got one of them, and the remaining one was given to whom. Originally, he had to wait for the members of the European Club Association to compete for it.

Arsenal's Gazidis, AC Milan's Gantini, Moscow's CSKA Kinel and Barcelona's Bartomeu, these four people have entered the UEFA Strategic Committee and are not selected as the executive committee.

In other words, the remaining ten executive committee members will compete for one of the places.

When Rumenig was thinking of this, he was stunned.

When mid- and lower-level teams are not capable or even ambition, who will compete with Young Master Huan for this place?

Sure enough, when he suddenly realized, Yang Huan looked at him with a smile, word by word, and said in a tone that was too domineering to discuss: "Carl, I want the remaining quota!"

At this moment, Rummenigge had no intention of rejecting it!
