"Haha, if everything is done by you, wouldn’t we old guys be ashamed?" Beckenbauer laughed and patted Zhuang Ge on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, thank you Antonio this time."
"It would be a stranger for Franz to say thank you. Now helping you is tantamount to helping myself," Zhuang Ge replied with a smile.
"Although that’s true, Antonio, your credit is absolutely denied."
"By the way, Franz, if President Johansson wins the election this time, who should take over the post of UEFA president?" After finishing the meeting, I relaxed. Zhuang Ge suddenly remembered another question and asked.
"The successor? I remember Johansson, who now prefers to let Olson take his place. After all, Olson and aigner (CEO of UEFA) have been working together since 1992 and their interpersonal skills are first-class. There should be no problem. "
"But can the French executive agree so easily?" Zhuang Ge asked unceremoniously, "That man’s fame and hope in football is far beyond Olson’s. Once he appoints a successor to President Johansson, I’m afraid UEFA will call a presidential election."
Of course, beckenbauer knew exactly who Zhuang Ge was talking about, and he also knew the political ambition of the former French superstar, so he could answer Zhuang Ge’s question about the football emperor for a while.
"How about this, Franz?" Seeing that the other side was in a state of silence, he knew that the other side must be planning to make an optimistic mistake again. Zhuang Ge made another suggestion. "After Mr. Johansson was successfully elected as the president of FIFA, you can take the post of UEFA president at the UEFA General Assembly Olson first. If everyone accepts it, then I am worrying about it; However, if someone objects and insists on voting for the UEFA president by all member football associations … "
"if so, what shall we do?" Beckenbauer hurriedly asked, although he knew that the probability of such a thing was very small, it could not be ruled out.
"Then Franz, I’m afraid that only when you personally announce your participation in the election can you curb those restless nights." Zhuang Ge, the football emperor, said this sentence when he saw his eyes naked.
"… what? ！”
Chapter 617 Game (5)
Yes, Zhuang Ge made such a big turn to say that Johansson’s close ally beckenbauer pushed him to the UEFA presidency!
No way Platini is so famous in European football that this Frenchman has accumulated a lot of popularity; Moreover, for Platini, who gradually entered politics after retiring, he naturally wooed a group of his supporters through various means in the course of his work. Together, these two advantages are definitely not comparable to Olson who has been working for Johansson in UEFA!
Without these contacts, Platini could not have defeated the respected Johansson in the UEFA presidential election in Zhuang Ge’s previous life to become the new UEFA president.
Therefore, if you want to fight against the ambitious Platini Zhuangge, you must find a more important person!
There are only a few players who can compete with Platini in the history of European football, such as cruyff in the Netherlands, Stefano in Spain, beckenbauer in Germany and Italy … ahem, forget it.
However, cruyff’s unruly personality PASS made many people stay away from him.
In fact, in the original world of Zhuang Geyuan, Johansson was also planning to let beckenbauer take his place. Unfortunately, at that time, after successfully hosting the World Cup for six years, the football emperor was full of confidence and wanted to challenge Blatter’s throne. As a result, Johansson not only failed to take the position of FIFA president, but also lost his hometown in Europe.
"All right, Antonio, I promise you!" After thinking for a long time, beckenbauer finally nodded and agreed to Zhuang Ge’s proposal. "I think if I don’t agree, then I’m afraid no one in UEFA will come out to bear the burden!"
……
When beckenbauer and Zhuang Ge came out of the hut, they had a two-hour break, which was completely consumed during their conversation.
Seeing that the meeting is about to be held, Zhuang Ge hurried to the venue with Karin. After all, he was not as big as beckenbauer, and others were openly late for resentment.
"Uri (Hess) What do you think of Antonio’s words just now?" Although beckenbauer people think that those suggestions made by Zhuang Ge are very good, out of caution, he still intends to consult a close confidant.
"It’s a good idea with strong maneuverability." Hess immediately replied respectfully behind beckenbauer. "Although I don’t know where he got the news, it really conforms to Havelange’s always sinister and cunning character."
"It seems that this young man’s talent is not only exploring players and business management." beckenbauer looked at Zhuang Ge and went to the back and told Hess, "Wuli, you have to remember my words that if this young man is still in football, then we must play well with him."
"Good Franz," Hess nodded, but soon he remembered something and said bitterly, "But coach Hitzfeld asked the club to get effenberg. How can I explain it to him?"
"Just tell him that Fiorentina resolutely refuses to sell their vice-captain, and let him find another suitable candidate. The top midfielder doesn’t have a tiger," beckenbauer replied impatiently. "For example, Ha Silei, andreas moller, etc … These players are very good. Don’t always stare at a effenberg, as if Bayern can’t play without a player."
"Well, I’ll tell coach Hitzfeld to re-select the target later." Hess and beckenbauer also walked slowly towards the meeting.
Shortly after Zhuang Ge returned to the conference site, Van Prager announced that the voting ceremony for new members in G14 was official!
Although there are more than five candidate teams, everyone can see that the most qualified one is Arsenal in the Premier League.
On the other hand, because Ajax and Eindhoven have entered the organization, considering the influence of the Dutch league, other executive committees can’t agree that the Netherlands has more seats in G14 than the four major leagues. Rangers, Fica and Lazio are limited by the fact that there are no heavyweight champions in the near future, and the heavyweight champions are worse than Arsenal.
On the other hand, after Arsene Wenger entered Arsenal, the French coach immediately led the gunners out of the shadow of Graham’s period. In the first season, he led Ferguson to lead the Red Devils Manchester United to win the Premier League and FA Cup double, which was in the limelight in Britain for a while.
Moreover, Arsenal’s historical achievements are also quite outstanding. Although there is no heavyweight champion in the Gunners’ honor room, 11 top league titles, 7 FA Cup titles, Winners’ Cup titles and UEFA Cup titles are still spectacular.
It is out of contrast that many judges have voted for Arsenal after some consideration.
When Van Prager announced the voting results, Arsenal got the most votes among the five clubs, although it didn’t get more than half of the votes!
"Let’s congratulate Arsenal! Congratulations to this new Premier League champion team as a new member of G14 organization! " Van Prager’s voice resounded through the microphone, which made Manchester United boss Edwards and Liverpool boss Morse look excited.
After such a long period of forbearance and planning, English football finally has the same discourse as Italy in G14 organization! If you work harder, you may even surpass the biggest force of Italian organization!
At the moment, the owner of Arsenal, Hilwood, is also pleased that when G14 was founded, Arsenal was kept out of the door, which has always been the heart disease of the British aristocracy. Now he can finally get rid of this shadow!
With Arsenal becoming a new member of the G14 League, this G14 Congress has finally come to an end!
Chapter 61 Pre-final final
After the meeting, beckenbauer immediately rushed to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he would meet Johansson to discuss and adjust the next action plan; While Zhuang Ge stayed in Amsterdam quietly waiting for the Champions League final.
And Galliani, who lost his formal membership in G14, also left in a hurry. Jiatou knows very well that it is impossible for his own boss to accept him. AC Milan is excluded from G14, the "League of Giants"!
Now Galliani is telling Berlusconi this unfortunate news and then asking for US dollars from Benitez to rebuild an invincible Rossoneri in the coming summer transfer market!
As the whole meeting lasted for a whole day, when Zhuang Ge returned to their hotel with Karin, they found that the final whistle of the Italian Cup with Vicenza had already sounded.
Because Florence and Vicenza have a more crucial game to play in the next week, Capello and Guidolin, the two coaches, did not send the main team to die, but moved the players who had been sitting on the bench for a long time.
In the competition, Capello and Guidolin don’t want to lose important combat effectiveness at this juncture.
However, although the strength of Vicenza’s main force is not inferior to that of Florence, it is natural that Vicenza is no match for Florence when it comes to bench depth and financial strength.
So the Italian Cup final, which was quite interesting, became a suspense.
Ze Roberto and Cruz, who finally got the chance to start, each scored an old goal in the game. Maiville Joward accidentally sent the ball to his own door during defense. Vicenza pulled back a city with a header from lucarelli at half-time.
In the end, Florence defeated Vicenza 3-1 and won the second championship trophy on the triple crown road!
Now Florence will win the Champions League final again, and after a lapse of two years, it will complete the second triple crown in the history of the club!
After the Italian Cup award ceremony, whether Florence won the championship or Vicenza, the runner-up, did not stay in Rome for too long and left for their hometown overnight to prepare for the upcoming Champions Cup and Winners Cup finals.
According to UEFA’s schedule, the Cup Winners’ Cup final was held three days before the Champions League final, so while waiting for the Champions League final, Li Zhuangge and Karin sat in front of the TV and watched the Vicenza and Chelsea Cup Winners’ Cup finals.
Because of Zhuang Ge’s appearance, this Vicenza is much stronger than the history. Perhaps it is because of this change that Vicenza did not stop at the semi-final of the Winners’ Cup and did not meet the strongest Chelsea like the history, but suffered a sharp decline after losing Elbert. Stuttgart!
After two bitter rounds at home and away, Vicenza eliminated this German powerhouse with a total score of 2-1, and entered the Winners Cup final for the first time, creating a new chapter in the history of this club!
This time, in the face of football stars such as Zola, Lexox, Poyet and so on, Chelsea coach Guidolin showed off his contempt for Vicenza, and Chelsea coach Viali firmly believed that this "weak brigade" from Italy would try its best to drag the game to the penalty shootout in the final. Unexpectedly, he sent a set of attacking starters and fought a fierce battle with the Blues in this Winners Cup final!
Ballotta, Coco, Wiljoward, repka, Oddo, Ambrosini, Ballack, Pirlo, AmbLuo Saidi, Tony and Larson. This is Guidolin’s starting lineup in the Cup Winners’ Cup final!
It is also relying on these players Vicenza to hang Viali with confidence after the game!
Just three minutes after the game, Amber Luo Saidi and Koko played a two-to-one match on the left. After breaking through the defense of Petrescu and Steve Clarke, Amber Luo Saidi sent a middle ball to follow Tony’s head-throwing attack, one city at a time!
In the face of the unfavorable situation that the score has just fallen behind in the game, Chelsea players are not flustered. Generally, they are over 30 years old, and their experience in the game is much richer than the average age. Vicenza will naturally not be confused because of this trivial matter.
However, Vicenza did not give Chelsea people a chance to adjust their state slowly. By virtue of the young man’s momentum and physical strength, he constantly showed fierce force in the frontcourt, constantly oppressed Chelsea backcourt and forced Chelsea players to make mistakes when shifting the ball, thus forming a chance to score goals.
In the face of Guidolin’s move, the Chelsea side once again unfortunately got caught in the game. In the 11th minute, Wise forced Ballack to return the ball to leboeuf, but he did not prevent Pirlo from suddenly jumping out of the side and stealing the ball in the middle!
Pirlo immediately took the ball to the left and pushed it forward. After attracting leboeuf and Wise to defend, Pirlo first made a gorgeous Marseille roundabout and escaped from the attack of the two men. He grabbed another central defender, Duberi, and hit the door directly from the left side of the penalty area!
The ball drew an arc in the middle, bypassed de goey’s palm, hit the far post and bounced into the goal!
