"Boss, now we have joined the G14 organization. Although we are only a supplementary member now, according to our future plan of Chelsea, we will be a full member after re selection in three years."
This is the fifth day after Jianlibao team came to Chelsea. In David Gill's office, David Gill is reporting to Li Feng. In addition to the two, there are a number of Chelsea related giants such as Sacchi, Mendes and the team's sports director.
Listening to David Gill's report and reading the documents about G14 in his hand, Li Feng praised it in his heart. Sure enough, it was right to contact the two giants of Milan last time. Since Li Feng found the possibility of joining G14 last time, he asked David Gill to contact the team presidents of Manchester United and Liverpool.
Finally, the two sides agreed to the plan put forward by Li Feng, that is, to add several supplementary seats outside today's G14 to increase the strength of the Premier League in G14 members, which is considered from the long-term future.
After obtaining the support of the two giants of the Premier League and the two giants of Milan, under some operation, although several teams expressed their opposition, with the consent of the giants of Serie A and the Premier League, the plan to increase substitute seats was officially adopted.
Finally, Chelsea in the Premier League, Roma in Serie A, Valencia in La Liga, Leverkusen in Bundesliga and Lyon in French League became the first substitutes.
In the previous life, it seems that this so-called substitute seat will not appear until later. In this life, it is advanced because of the insertion of Chelsea. However, in the previous life, Arsenal became the substitute of the Premier League. Now Arsenal has not risen, but it is intercepted by Li Feng's Chelsea.
……
Now David Gill has just returned from Brussels to attend the meeting. This is the second day after Jianlibao team came. David Gill received a telephone notice from G14 and asked him to attend the meeting in Brussels. A few days later, the meeting ended and came back.
Not only Li Feng was looking through the documents related to G14, but the rest of the people were also looking through the documents. After everyone put down their documents, they immediately smiled happily and congratulated Li Feng, the big boss: "boss, Congratulations!"
"Congratulations, John. It's only one step away from becoming a big European club."
“…”
Originally, Li Feng was ready to return to Los Angeles. Unfortunately, when David Gill was informed to attend the G14 meeting, Li Feng had to stay in London for a few days.
I've watched several Chelsea pre match training and Jianlibao trial training these days. It's not boring.
"OK, David, it's up to you next. I'll go back to Los Angeles right away. I've delayed going back again and again. The old people at home are scolding me." Li Feng interrupted the congratulations with a smile and joked.
"Boss, the new season will start soon. Otherwise, wait until you finish the first game?"
"Uh..."
"By the way, boss, the stadium is newly renovated and the first game of the new season. Don't you stay and cheer up the team?"
"No, I really want to remember that the first game of the new season is away?"
"Hey..."
……
Well, if the first game of the new season is held at home, Li Feng is in the mood to watch it before leaving, but the first game is away. Li Feng is too lazy to wait. After saying goodbye to everyone, he is ready to return to the United States the next day.
In the chat, he talked about the situation of the team in the new season and the major teams in the Premier League this season, especially when it comes to the Champions League in the next new season, David Gill and others talked about it one after another. After all, Chelsea's Champions League trip is still the first time, and these leaders are a little worried.
Similarly, after chatting with everyone, Li Feng couldn't help thinking of the Premier League giants Manchester United in the 1998-99 season. If the rise of Chelsea last year led to the most serious result, it was that Arsenal's original first Premier League champion was gone, and Manchester United, who could have participated in the Champions League, can only participate in the UEFA Cup.
It seems that in 1999, Manchester United won the first treble in the history of the Premier League and its reputation is famous all over the world. Now, due to the rise of Chelsea, Manchester United can only participate in the UEFA Cup and Arsenal can only participate in the Champions League qualifier, and Chelsea directly entered the Champions League group stage with the Premier League title last season.
Yes, today's Premier League has not risen, and the Champions League has not been expanded. There are only 24 teams. Only the Premier League champion can directly enter the group stage, while the runner up has to participate in the qualifier, and the third place can only participate in the UEFA Cup.
In the future, the top four of the Premier League will be directly promoted to the group stage, and then they can participate in the qualifiers. It's a mess.
There is no doubt that the history of the Premier League and even the Champions League in the current 98-99 season has completely changed. After all, Manchester United can't participate in the Champions League, so the original 'three Champions League' of Manchester United in 1999 has completely disappeared.
Thinking of these, Li Feng is a little excited. Manchester United's three championships are gone. Can Chelsea make up for them.
……
Think about it. Last season, Chelsea could beat Manchester United and Arsenal. After adding a large number of strong players this season, Chelsea's strength is stronger than that of last season. Manchester United can win three championships in history. Why can't Chelsea.
Of course, this is just a beautiful fantasy in my heart. After all, if you want to win the Champions League, it is not only a matter of strength, but also the other all-round cooperation, such as strength, opportunity, luck, and even the cooperation of UEFA.
Besides, didn't Chelsea have more 'treble' last season? Although it was a small treble, after all, they made up with a winner's cup, but anyway, it's still a treble.
It doesn't mean "go your own way and let others have no way to go". The rise of Chelsea is OK. As for when Manchester United will win the third championship, only God knows. Anyway, changing history is not once or twice. Just take care of your own. Where can you care about the bottom of other teams.
At the same time, through David Gill's explanation, Li Feng knows that with the establishment of G14, UEFA is also under great pressure. Recently, he is contacting G14, and then G14 is negotiating with UEFA.
Li Feng knows that after the negotiations between G14 and UEFA, the Champions League will be expanded. It seems that from the beginning of the 99-00 season, the Champions League will be expanded to 32 group match teams, which also means the brilliant beginning of the Champions League.
Think of it, when future generations talk about the Champions League, most of them start with knowing 32 teams. When they say that 24 teams play in the group game, many fans don't know the situation. After all, for many later people, it's ancient times.
......
For Li Feng, who knows the general history of the previous Champions League, the biggest loss of Chelsea's rise last season may not be Arsenal, who lost the Premier League title, but the 98-99 season, which was able to achieve the glory of Manchester United's three championships. For this, Li Feng can only sigh in his heart, sorry for the unlucky Manchester United!
Similarly, it really should be said that the wings of the little butterfly are becoming more and more powerful.
