Chapter 705 The Disgusting Club World Cup

In this pre-season preparation, David is still preparing for a cup-like warm-up match, inviting several teams to play in England.

At present, the participating teams have been determined. Except for Notts County, last season’s Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, Serie A runner-up Inter Milan, Portuguese Super League champion Boavista, Liga champion Bei Weilun and Brescia who made up the numbers.

This gold content is actually not low, let alone the three strong teams in the Champions League. The Portuguese Super League is also the sixth largest league in Europe and can win the championship. The strength of Boavista is obvious, and it will never be lower than the five major leagues. The mid-range team, and Bei Weilun is no less inferior, only Brescia is considered to participate in the back door.

After all, it is impossible to only compete with strong teams in the pre-season warm-up games. The giants often find teams in the secondary league to practice their offenses. Now that they have Brescia, they will save them from having to fight with fish belly after returning home!

Among these six teams, in addition to Bayern and Inter Milan, the two giants, the remaining four teams are inextricably linked. David holds all the shares of Brescia, as well as Bei Weilun and Boavi. A part of the stake in Star also has a lot of right to speak. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a Notts County team.

Of course, Inter Milan and Bayern don't care about this either. Even if it's Notts County, it's nothing more than a few warm-up matches. Could Notts County cheat for the result of the warm-up match?

That is really a big joke in the world!

Except for Brescia, these six teams are all going to participate in the Champions League in the new season. Inter Milan and Bayern only know that David holds a part of the shares of Be Weilun and Boavista, but they do not know how much, they are very suspicious Whether Boavista and Be Weilun can be allowed to participate in the Champions League.

According to UEFA regulations, two teams owned by the same owner cannot participate in the same competition, that is, in any competition, there cannot be two teams controlled by the same person with more than 51% of the shares.

UEFA has launched an investigation into the three clubs, a situation that has never happened before.

David is not worried. After all, he does not have substantial holdings in Be Weilun and Boavista. The equity has not even reached 50%, and he has not directly participated in the operation of the club. He is only with Notts County in terms of players and other aspects. There is cooperation, even if UEFA investigates, it cannot investigate anything against itself.

In other words, David is just a wealthy member of Be Weilun and Boavista!

However, if Brescia can also play in Serie A in the future, it will be a trouble. I am afraid that David will have to find a way to avoid it, but it may be a few seasons later, but there is no need to worry so early. !

The big deal is to transfer the equity of Brescia to Miranda, which is not a problem, anyway, the two are not married.

The team's physical training is very strict, even more important than technical and tactical training.

Notts County's main lineup has not changed much this season, so the mature technical and tactical system of last season does not need to be changed significantly, as long as it continues to strengthen, so the proportion of physical training will be much larger.

Another important reason is that Notts County may encounter an unprecedentedly dense schedule this season.

This season's Toyota Cup has undergone major reforms. FIFA and the organizers of the Toyota Cup have reached an agreement to combine the two events into one and become the newly released Club World Cup.

In David's opinion, FIFA's food is too ugly, and a dung truck passing by in front of the door can't wait to taste the salty...

The Toyota Cup is a traditional event with a long history. It has been held since the 1960s last season. The original purpose was to confront the concepts of European power football and South American technical football.

Driven by interests, FIFA has also established a similar competition, which is the prototype of the Club World Cup. FIFA has made a big scene.

Every Intercontinental Champion is eligible, and the first Club World Cup had eight clubs participating.

You must know that at that time, it was the most intensive time for European teams, and the European champions had to travel thousands of miles to play several tasteless games and then win the tasteless championship, while the teams from other continents were not in the most intensive competitions. At that time, it was also in the off-season of the league, which seriously affected the preparations for the new season. Such events caused complaints.

If the club does not support it, the market response will not be good. After all, everyone knows that such an event is not high in gold content and has little viewing value.

It is enough to have a contest between the top teams in Europe and the top teams in South America. Who wants to watch the contest between the African champions and the Oceania champions, the names of their clubs are hard to remember, okay?

FIFA's promotion companies ended up going bankrupt, and the Club World Cup was held just once, and it was stillborn.

However, FIFA is not willing to let go of a piece of fat, so it tries to combine the Toyota Cup and the Club World Cup into one. This season has become a brand new Club World Cup. It is still the original routine, but participating in the competition. The team was reduced to six, the champions of the six continents.

The Club World Cup is still a superstar in Japan. According to the competition system, Notts County will appear in the semi-finals as the Champions League champions. If they can eliminate their opponents, they will enter the finals. That is to say, Notts County will play two games in Japan. .

Playing two games in four days, plus long-distance travel, and when the schedule is very dense on Christmas Eve, has a great impact on the physical fitness of the Notts County team, so Notts County must do well in pre-season training Physical reserve.

Now David is considering whether to send a second-tier team to participate in the Club World Cup, although doing so would give FIFA no face at all, but so what, FIFA can't control Notts County, it's none of his business!

What David cares about is the attitude of the FA. Who knows what is in the heads of these indifferent guys.

In the first Club World Cup in 2000, the FA forced the Champions League champion Manchester United to send all the players of the first team to participate in the Club World Cup in order to please FIFA to bid for the World Cup, and even asked Manchester United to withdraw from the FA Cup to avoid the crowded schedule. This kind of shit really happened.

However, in that Club World Cup, Manchester United's performance was a complete disaster, and then the club chairman Edwards also broke a shocking scandal - recruiting prostitutes!

The purpose of the FA not only failed to achieve, but also caused a show. The image of English football has been greatly affected. Not to mention the embarrassment of Manchester United's exit, England's unsuccessful bid for the World Cup night has simply become the laughing stock of world football.
