The Young Lion

In the conference room, in addition to Ajax, Eindhoven, and the representatives of the three clubs of Porto pretended to be calm, they were a little panic and even frightened. Other participants showed their excitement, as if they were about to taste an unprecedented gluttonous feast!

The club representatives who knew what was going to happen in their hearts would not think that participating in this meeting was to help Millwall.

How bad is Millwall?

In fact, nothing bad!

As long as they lower their faces and bow their heads to UEFA, will UEFA be stupid enough to reject Millwall?

Everything is for the benefit, long-term stability, and the economic security of building a strong and unstoppable football empire in their respective countries!

Everyone was seated, and Aldridge began to speak loudly.

“For a long time, the club represented by you is the core strength of European football. Without humility, we are European football in the eyes of the world! Without us, European football has no past, no present, and no future! We are committed to creating the most The top-level tournaments have also made unremitting efforts to build the team into the most eye-catching and strongest team on the planet in their respective clubs! Given the history of European football in the past ten years and the future order under the current system People are worried about various factors. Today, we are sitting here. Let’s let European football come back to his master. That’s right, our own hands!”

“Today, we are going to set up the European Elite Club Alliance here, and then we will form a new European tournament ourselves! First, let me introduce the benefits and benefit distribution principles brought about by this tournament. If you are not interested in participating, you can leave at any time!”

Aldrich took a folder from the staff behind him, and then the staff held a thick stack of folders and distributed a copy to each participant.

Aldrich took out one of the papers and said loudly: “The overall benefit distribution is higher than before! The benefit allocated to the club as a whole in the 2006-2007 season Champions League is 4.69 times higher! And we are a minority, the Champions League has 32 There are fewer than 20 teams in our team, so we actually get even higher!”

The representatives of the club were shocked!

Is this a concept?

In the past, the giants benefited only a few tens of millions from the Champions League this season, which does not count the operating income of the club itself on match day.

Now, if it is calculated by 5 times, the income of the top giants from the European War in one season may break the 200 million euro mark!

This is almost worth the total income of the ten relegation teams in the top league!

And this is just the income of the European war.

Galliani licked his lips unconsciously, quite dry.

He has the same idea as many of the club representatives present here: not to mention that the income can reach 5 times, even if it is 3 times, this is enough to make the club’s management look new!

Clubs such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Valencia, Dortmund, etc., who need huge economic income to reverse the club’s finances, are not tempted at this moment, but are determined to join anyway!

Aldrich pulled out another piece of paper to show everyone, saying: “We are European giants, we always introduce stars at a high price, but the stars are injured in international competitions, we suffer losses, no one will give us protection, yes, FIFA and UEFA have now signed an agreement with us, but that agreement is ridiculous! 200 million euros? F! We buy a star less than 30 million, the annual salary is at least 6 million, and in order to take care of all Europe, that 2 100 million Euros is a lot of listening, but the protection is like a lot of money. Now, we are independent! We protect our own interests! Our European Elite League, all members, will receive at least a total of 400 million euros in player injury protection compensation every season. !As long as the player is injured in our own match, the club will be compensated! Of course, this compensation will be considered according to the value of the star, but the minimum is 500,000 euros, even if this player is an unknown player.”

Hearing this clause, the presence of giants such as Barcelona and Real Madrid agreed, because they have many stars!

Of course, this also has a tit-for-tat meaning with the agreement provided by UEFA and FIFA to G14!

Aldridge finally pulled out another piece of paper and said, “25% of the overall revenue, we will take it out to UEFA and make UEFA one of the organizers of the tournament.”

This article, Audridge did not make it clear.

But everyone in the room was silent.

No matter how this league works, it is impossible to completely set aside UEFA!

It’s like the Premier League is independent, but the Premier League still has to accept the supervision of the Premier Football Director!

Only in terms of interest, the FA has no management authority over the Premier League!

They cannot directly intervene in the Bundesliga Serie A’s profit distribution principles like the German Football Association or the Italian Football Association.

Now the situation is to be reversed!

UEFA used to not only occupy the bulk of revenue, but also occupy absolute dominance.

Now, it is the income of the European Elite League that is the big player. UEFA is just a participating manager, doing some hard work, and the real planning and final rights of the game will be controlled by the league itself.

Beckenbauer appeared at the conference, and everyone knows that the political landscape of European football is about to usher in an earthquake!

As smart as the representatives of the club present here, it is already foreseeable that when this alliance is established and finally announced, UEFA will be on the verge of collapse. At that time, Beckenbauer will bring the conditions for the alliance to open Go to UEFA and usurp the throne!

That’s right, this is rebellion!

Relative to UEFA’s income in the past, it will definitely decline in the future, but it will not decline to the point of survival.

This time the shuffle, or the revolution of European giants, actually turned European football from a “hodgepodge” back to the original, and turned it into a real champion giants war!

The purest football!

Do not mix any political factors.

Beckenbauer is not worried about the current situation. In fact, a large part of UEFA’s fiscal revenue is used to “poverty alleviation” funds. The benefit distribution scheme provided by the European Elite League is now more than before. many.

In order to obtain the support of Europe’s numerous “football weak countries”, Platini not only gave them the Champions League quota, but also tried to get these small country championship teams to go to the Champions League to play the “Group Tour March Tour”, or they would send them directly to these countries. Money similar to the “Football Development Fund”.

However, the Football Association, the crows are generally black, who knows whether the money is used for football development.

Beckenbauer is a defender of traditional football values. He does not like the egalitarianism that Platini respects. When he returns to UEFA, he will disturb the anti-government. At best, he will not be able to overpower the giants as before. , But at least there will not be too many problems with the operation, and he intends to focus on the UEFA project in the European Cup, which is inseparable from the support of European giants.

After a brief introduction to the distribution of the benefits of the new European events, it is actually not complicated.

The league takes 75% and UEFA takes 25%. Of course, UEFA is also responsible for the organization and coordination of competitions, and the operating costs are not low.

Of the 75%, most are given to the club every season, and a small part is used as a guarantee fund.

As the most important part of the distribution of benefits has been introduced, then there is a fierce discussion on the competition system and the distribution principles corresponding to the giants themselves.

Ajax, Eindhoven, and the representatives of the three clubs in Porto did not participate in the discussion. In this session, the representatives of the giants are competing for the land, and they do not have much say. On the contrary, they can’t wait to feed the news to the club. The boss, the board, let them decide!

This is completely different from the plan before coming!

Originally came to make soy sauce and went home, but now, a big brother took the lead and promised to be able to eat together with spicy food and spicy. Are we rebellious now, or not?

In the planning of the format, Aldridge’s attitude is very firm!

“It is impossible to become a league completely! Impossible! If we become a league completely, our survival is fundamental, the local league, this base camp may be completely destroyed in ten years and twenty years! We are first in England, Germany, Italy, etc. Wait for local clubs, then European giants!”

In the original vision of the European Premier League, Edwards’ dream was this: simply, don’t play the Premier League! With 20 giants in Europe, let’s play a 38-round European Premier League!

This plan has a big problem!

Clubs rooted in the local countries of various countries are unable to leave local fans, supported by the huge influence of the local market, even the giants are no exception!

Secondly, even if the most dazzling competitions are formed among European giants, it is necessary to avoid excessively frequent battles.

Although there is a saying: If Manchester United and Real Madrid will play two games each season, then people will lose interest in their games in a few years.

This kind of speech has a certain theoretical support: aesthetic fatigue.

But it is incorrect to put it in the football field.

Milan derby is N years old, England derby is also N years old, Spanish derby is more and more popular than before!

Aesthetic fatigue?

There is no fatigue in football!

Because even two identical teams, every time they meet, the story that happens in the game is always unpredictable!

The more pinnacle-level teams, the higher the possibility of unpredictability, and the more the direction of the game, the ending, beyond everyone’s imagination, attract people’s imagination!

And there is only one situation that will make the outside fans uninterested!

Team strength!

This is the essence.

Just like the decline of Serie A, Milan Derby’s attention has dropped, not because everyone is tired of the encounter between these two teams, nor is it because everyone can guess the result and are too lazy to watch the process, just because one thing: these two teams are not strong !

Therefore, as long as the European Elite League guarantees that the team itself has strong competitiveness, even if the giants meet each season, the attention they can receive will not decline!

But it is not possible to play league games, but to avoid excessive encounters, this is a more realistic consideration.
