Chapter 987： finally come!

"Hello, Carl!"

"Hello, Master Huan!"

After the two met at the window, they clashed politely and made a drink. .

Rummenigge just saw Yang Huan chatting with Platini and Infantino.

Even though the whole world seems to be eager to cook Platini and Blatter skin cramps, but in fact, unlike Blatter’s betrayal in FIFA, Platini is still very prestigious in UEFA. of.

This Frenchman is not easy. In the past few years, UEFA has been a piece of iron.

Not long ago, someone proposed to suspend Platini’s UEFA chairmanship and let the first vice-chairman, the Spanish Football Association chairman Bilal, temporarily take over. But the result?

There was no sound at all, not even the person who made the proposal was silent.

Everyone knows that even if Platini can't come forward this time, his confidant, Infantino, is the same.

Therefore, Rummenigge knew that if he had not guessed wrong, they should have been discussing about Infantino running for the presidency of FIFA.

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

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

Yang Huan didn't know the truth and smiled, "Really? Why?"

"It's incredible to be able to manage the scene like this in just a few years."

After listening, Yang Huan curled his lips and wanted to say, of course, I am a traverser.

One or two of you are fighting for high-quality star talents, but I have known every minute where to dig the players I want for the past four years.

At this point, there is no technical content to win you!

"A lot of people are now saying that Southampton is already a super giant on par with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. If it was a year ago, or even six months ago, maybe no one believed it, but now..."

Rummenigge did not finish speaking, but Yang Huan understood the meaning.

In the past six months, especially after Yang Huan established the Miracle Football Group and gave Peter Kenyon full responsibility for the affairs of the Miracle Football Group, unknowingly, a lot of unknown things have happened in European football. Variety.

There are things that everyone knows, such as the relationship between Southampton and Monaco, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Hamburg, and Ajax, Benfica and other teams. This is well known in the inner circle.

But so what?

It seems that everyone knows the relationship between Chelsea and Dutch Waiters. In order to avoid both participating in the Champions League, Chelsea even asked Waiters not to win the league title in order to circumvent UEFA’s rules.

But the current young master Huan is different. He is so generous and upright, he has all his teams appear in the European arena. Although everyone knows that these teams rely on their strength to compete, but this is not a violation. Is it stipulated?

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

In the eyes of the strong, do rules work?

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

"Carl, you didn't come here to tell me this specifically?" Yang Huan chuckled, "Also, if you blame Monaco for stealing the Timo Horn you are looking for, then I'm not wrong. This has nothing to do with me!"

Rummenigge laughed, "Master Huan said and laughed, now the transfer is over, it will be over if it passes!"

It sounds like he really can see.

It was previously reported that Bayern Munich was very dissatisfied with goalkeeper Kraft. After the introduction of Neuer failed, Bayern Munich was interested in Timo Horn of Cologne and planned to start after a period of inspection.

But as a result, in the absence of any news in the transfer market, Monaco suddenly made a move and spent eight million euros in one night to bring in Timo Horn from Cologne.

German media disclosed that this makes Bayern Munich very dissatisfied.

But in the eyes of Master Huan, what does this have?

In the final analysis, running a football club is a competition for talent, whoever can't afford it, don't play!

"Master Huan, to tell you the truth, I am here tonight, on behalf of the European Club Association, to invite you to Southampton to attend the membership meeting in Nyon, Switzerland in a few days."

After listening, Yang Huan frowned and shook his head, "I don't quite understand, Carl, we are not members of the European Club Association, nor are we informal members. Why did you invite us to the membership meeting?"

After hearing this, Rummenigge laughed, "Master Huan, this is the case. After consultation and communication by the Executive Committee, we feel that Southampton has made outstanding contributions to European football in the past few years. Therefore, we We intend to make an exception to invite Southampton to join the European Club Association and become a full member."

"This... doesn't it seem to be in compliance?" Yang Huan still frowned.

"If I remember correctly, in accordance with the rules of the European Club Association, any team that wants to join the organization and become a full member must either win five European championship trophies, or be an unofficial member through an application and review for a period of time. After that, they will become full members through incremental compensation."

Having said this, Yang Huan smiled awkwardly, "I don't know, we have only four European championship trophies in the history of Southampton for more than 100 years, which is not enough!"

The championship trophy required by the European Club Association does not include the Super Cup and the Club World Cup. Only the Champions League, the Europa League, the previous UEFA Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup are not included.

However, all the European championships in Southampton were won in the past few years after Yang Huan took over. There are only four, not enough.

As for applying to become an unofficial member, this is not difficult, but it is difficult to become a full member.

Why do you say that?

This has to be talked about since the establishment of the European Club Association.

Everyone knows that nine of the sixteen founding teams are from g14. That is to say, on the surface, this is recognized by UEFA and represents the official organization of European professional clubs. In the final analysis, it Still controlled by g14.

Especially in recent years, g14 teams have joined this organization one after another, and the European Club Association has become an expanded version of the g14 organization.

Like the g14 organization, the European club association has the most power to speak out, or the giants.

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

How to control it?

Very simple, the rules!

Although the official members of the European Club Association have been expanding their army, in fact, they have strict quota control.

The leagues ranked first to third in the European Championship can have five official member positions, fourth to sixth, four, seventh to fifteenth, three, sixteenth to sixth Twenty-eight, there can be two, and twenty-ninth to fifty-third, there can only be one.

But if it's just that, it's nothing. The key is the quota limit of the executive committee.

The Executive Committee of the European Club Association has a total of fifteen places, of which 11 are from voting.

In the first to sixth leagues in the European Championship, five executive committee members are selected, seven to fifteenth, three, sixteen to twenty-eight, two, twenty-nine to fifty Three, choose one.

The remaining four places come from teams previously recommended by the European Club Association to the UEFA Strategy Committee, and they are usually also held by rich teams.

is not it?

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

For those mid-lower teams, what if there are places?

As the saying goes, people are poor and have short ambitions. Just ask, what can a team from a small national league such as Estonia, Luxembourg, or Ireland say on this occasion?

Even if you are allowed to speak, once the interests of the giants are touched, it will be difficult to sing alone.

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

Why can the Premier League have six places?

Manchester City does not have five European championship trophies. It does not comply with the regulations of the European Club Association. It can make an exception to increase the number of Premier League places. Then why can Manchester City become a full member?

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

Monaco, Madrid Sports, Inter Milan, Benfica, Ajax, Basel, Vienna, Austria, Sparta Prague, Anderlecht are all full members.

Aek Athens and Hamburg have long been informal members.

Just ask, if Southampton wants to join, isn’t it easy?

With Young Master Huan’s connections and relationships, what's the matter in minutes?

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

Rummenigge smiled bitterly when he heard what the young master Huan said.

Master Huan, the whole world knows that your old man is the most unruly. You are telling me about the rules now?

If you really want to act in accordance with the rules and regulations, we should kick all of your teams out of the European Club Association, but the problem is that we have never done this at all.

On the contrary, we have always kept one eye open and closed one eye, Young Master Huan.

But these words in his mind, Rummenigge didn't dare to say it face to face, hehe smiled.

"Master Huan, there will always be exceptions to this!"

Yang Huan nodded, funny inside, special case?

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

This is really amused young master.

It's okay to use these words to fudge the fans, but if you want to fudge the young master, okay?

Rummenigge looked at Young Master Huan's expression, and felt depressed in his heart.

Others are begging to enter the European Club Association, and it depends on the feelings of their big brothers. If they are unhappy, get rid of them.

But it's good for you, Master Huan. We took the initiative to ask you to enter, but you still hesitate to not enter. Is that fair?

Also, after people enter, they have to start with the spare tire alliance, uh, no, it’s an informal membership. If we have enough qualifications, when we are happy, you can become a regular one. After being a regular one, we have to look at our faces. .

But Master Huan, you became a full member directly!

You know, with Southampton's entry, the Premier League has reached seven places from the current six places.

There are only five places in La Liga and Bundesliga, and even four places in Italy, enough to give the Premier League team face!

But these words ~ www.novelhall.com ~ these things, Rummenigge can only keep in mind, can not say.

In fact, the reason why he took the initiative to invite the saints to join, in the final analysis, was forced by circumstances.

In the past period of time, Peter Kenyon's actions in European football almost drove them crazy.

Also, the surprising unity of the Premier League teams in recent times has been amazing.

More importantly, Blatter collapsed, and both FIFA and UEFA must reform.

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

Because there is one item in the reform issues of FIFA and UEFA, which is to increase the voice of capital in professional football, thereby enhancing the transparency of football operations.

Obviously, they have waited so many years for the opportunity, and finally came!
