Chapter 1059: Receiver
The good weather for several consecutive days made the Champions League quarter-finals knockout round match day, and the Glory Plaza attracted fans and tourists from the UK and even all over the world. It was crowded and lively. .`
There is only one reason to attract them to come here, football!
The highest level of professional football in the world, the UEFA Champions League.
Two of the world's top and most luxurious super-class warships, the home team Saints Southampton, played against Real Madrid.
These two teams not only have star-studded players, but even the head coaches are all former world-class stars.
Ancelotti in Italy, Zidane in France!
Such a configuration and such a game naturally attracted the attention and attention of countless fans.
Like all popular football games, the scalpers became the busiest group of people in the Glory Square.
Look at how many people are holding up cards with a price written on it, from a few hundred pounds earlier to thousands of pounds now, but it is still hard to get a ticket.
One can imagine how popular this game is.
Yang Huan was standing in front of the window of the VIP lounge on the second floor of the Glory Stadium, and the human heads swarmed down below, just like ants. They poured into the Glory Plaza from all directions and rushed to the stadium.
The game is about to start, and the players are already warming up on the court.
From the cheers of countless fans at the scene, everyone can feel the excitement of this game.
Football games are no longer just simple football games.
Football politics is no longer pure football politics!
"Master Huan, they're here!"
As Long Wu walked to Yang Huan's side, after whispering something, Yang Huan suddenly turned around.
Just outside the gate of the VIP lounge, a group of people walked in.
Isn't it for UEFA President Michel Platini?
Walking side by side with Platini, one is Sun Yue, CEO of Miracle Media, and the other is a month ago, who just defeated Salman in the election.
Gianni Infantino, who successfully ascended the throne of FIFA President.
The three walked side by side, and the others could only follow behind them. `
Yang Huan also had fun watching this scene.
Sun Yue is fine, but Infantino used to be a little behind Platini.
Speaking of which, this lawyer was born and the former UEFA secretary-general was lucky. At the critical moment, Platini was dragged into the water by Blatter, and he was temporarily pushed out to replace Platini in the election.
Blatter, who has been in FIFA for many years, has suffered a big loss this time!
He originally thought that Salman, whom he supported, would have no competitors if he knocked down the top favorite Platini.
As everyone knows, UEFA decisively launched Infantino, and began to invest a lot of resources, manpower and material resources to campaign for Infantino, and finally pushed the bald lawyer to the position of FIFA president.
But in any case, Infantino still can't get rid of the influence of UEFA and Platini.
This is the politics of the football world, but the impact has gone far beyond the scope of football.
"Long time no see, Master Huan!" When Platini saw Yang Huan, he immediately greeted Yang Huan with a smile, and stretched out his hand from a distance.
"Yeah, long time no see!" Yang Huan stretched out his hand.
After shaking hands with Platini, Yang Huan immediately turned to Infantino.
"Congratulations, Jenny, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to take care of me in the future!"
Infantino hurriedly held Master Huan's right hand with both hands, "Master Huan, you are welcome, this time I was elected thanks to the support of Master Huan, we will remember it in our hearts!"
Regardless of whether Platini came out for the election at the beginning or Infantino came forward later, Yang Huan's attitude was very clear. There was no second sentence. If you want people, give money, and if you want resources, give them resources.
All in all, as long as it was a request from their campaign team and Yang Huan could provide it, they would all be satisfied.
Otherwise, based on the few votes under UEFA alone, can Infantino be elected as the president of FIFA?
Yang Huan didn't say much, with a tacit expression on everyone's mind.
Frankly speaking, his position is to remain neutral. After all, he is a businessman, who wants to be troublesome, but his attitude is somewhat biased towards Infantino, and he gives more support and help to the latter.
The reason is also very simple. Salman has a bit of Blatter's shadow, and he has done so many things in the AFC for so many years, so Yang Huan always feels that this guy is not very reliable. ??.?`
After all, he is likely to become the second Blatter.
Because of this, Yang Huan still prefers the European side in his heart.
Moreover, the election of UEFA forces is also in the interests of the United States and the United Kingdom.
They have worked so hard to do so many things, and finally got rid of a Blatter, how could they easily allow Salman to come to power?
Of course, Blatter has been in FIFA for decades, and he is so good at dancing, so there is nothing to say about his influence.
Infantino's battle was quite thrilling and not easy to win.
More importantly, whether it is Infantino, Platini, or the UEFA forces behind them, they are very clear that without the help of Master Huan, it will be difficult for them to win this battle.
Even if they are elected now, they still need Master Huan's help.
There is no way, the resources that Master Huan has in his hands now are too many and great.
"Let's go inside and talk!"
Yang Huan welcomed everyone into one of the boxes on the chairman's stand.
This box was rented by Hamad of the Saints Fan Club for a long time. It has the best location and the most expensive price.
But Hamad, who will come to the scene to watch almost every game, did not come to this game.
The reason is also very simple, to avoid suspicion.
After entering the box, once the door was closed, apart from the stadium, they were separated from the hustle and bustle outside.
"First of all, I should thank you, Jenny, for the few words you said when the election was successful!"
After the waiter brought the drinks, Yang Huan picked up a glass of red wine and swung towards Infantino.
Both Infantino and Platini are well aware that what Master Huan said is what Infantino proposed, about vigorously supporting China's idea of developing football.
This is a very important part of his campaign, although he also mentioned India, but that is just a brushstroke, the real focus is on how to help China improve the level of football, and he even said that he will give a clear policy as soon as possible.
This should be regarded as his return to Master Huan!
"It should be us thanking Master Huan for his support!" Infantino and Platini also raised their glasses.
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "Then cheers!"
After being elected as the president of FIFA, Infantino has been very busy. One of the most important points is to form his management team, launch his series of new policies, reform FIFA, and establish his as soon as possible. personal prestige.
Therefore, it was not easy for him to have the opportunity to participate in UEFA affairs.
This visit to Glory Stadium was his first visit to a football club, so the meaning was naturally different.
However, he used to be a famous drawer in the UEFA Champions League. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Champions League knockout round to visit the team, there is no problem and it will not cause any controversy at all.
What's more, the two sides facing off are Southampton and Real Madrid, so there is no problem.
"I heard that recently, someone within FIFA has started to propose reconsidering the issue of Russia and Qatar's right to host the World Cup?" Yang Huan asked with a casual smile.
Both Infantino and Platini nodded and did not speak, which was regarded as acquiescing.
"Cough!" Young Master Huan let out a heavy breath, "According to me, some people are just looking for trouble for nothing, and they are messing around!"
"The World Cup in Russia is very close. At this time, it will be replaced temporarily? Who will play? The United States? Or the United Kingdom?"
After finishing speaking, Yang Huan himself couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "They're not ready at all, how can I take it?"
Relatively speaking, the problem of the World Cup in Russia is not serious, because the time is too tight.
In such a short period of time, it is difficult to find a suitable receiver.
As for someone proposing to look for China, don't be ridiculous. Can China prepare in such a short period of time?
From beginning to end, this matter has nothing to do with China.
Even if Russia and Qatar are really destroyed, nothing will happen to China.
According to Yang Huan, China has not yet become familiar in this circle, who will play with you?
This time, Yang Huan took advantage of the opportunity of FIFA reform and asked Sun Yue to arrange a few smart and capable Chinese people in their twenties to go in and place them next to Infantino or in other departments, so that they could survive. A boil qualifications.
When the time is right, return to China, from the Chinese Football Association to the Asian Football Association, and finally FIFA.
Among other things, how many years did it take for Platini, as a former world-class superstar, to start as Blatter's right-hand man and to be elected UEFA president?
ten years!
If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't have any hope for more than ten or twenty years.
However, if Chinese football wants to develop, there must be people who are familiar with these rules and can get into their circle.
Infantino and Platini also knew in their hearts that Master Huan's move had no malice towards them, it was purely to train a few people, so they also strongly supported them, and Infantino even decided to promote two of them as his own. assistant.
But these are just small things like sesame mung beans. The real big thing is the World Cup.
As Yang Huan mentioned before when he advocated the development of China's football industry, with the advent of the economic crisis, every country in the world attaches great importance to the sports industry.
This is true for the United States and the United Kingdom, as is Russia and Qatar.
It is also because of this that there has been a major change in FIFA this time.
With the plummet of global oil prices, Russia's current economy is already quite dangerous. This time they want to use the World Cup to stimulate the domestic economy and boost morale.
Therefore, this is why there is a saying that it is necessary to keep the right to host the World Cup at all costs.
Moreover, Russian officials mentioned Yang Huan in an informal meeting with the top leadership of the Chinese government before, and tactfully proposed that Yang Huan could come forward to deal with it.
Not only Russia, but Qatar's Prime Minister Hamad personally came forward and sincerely asked Yang Huan to help, because the World Cup is related to national policy and is very important to them.
According to Yang Huan, Russia's problem is not serious, but Qatar is very dangerous.
However, following Master Huan's few words, both Platini and Infantino immediately understood what Master Huan meant.
It can be seen that Master Huan is going to support Russia and Qatar.
It should be said that this is not surprising.
Russia has a close relationship with China, and Young Master Huan has a deep relationship with Qatar. It is not surprising that he came forward to deal with it.
If it was Master Huan who came forward, then they really had to study it carefully.
However, this would affect their plans.
You know, originally they were still preparing to give Master Huan a generous gift, but now...
