Chapter 708: Anti-Black Pioneer

Since Michel Platini asked FIFA to thoroughly investigate the bribery incident within FIFA, the president of UEFA immediately became the focus of media attention all over the world.

You know, in 2007, Platini was able to come to power because of the full support of the current FIFA president Blatter, but who would have thought that it has only been a few years? Platini began to rebel!

But who is Platini?

Is it possible for someone who can become the president of UEFA to be the president of UEFA?

Therefore, Platini resolutely denied the interest relationship between himself and Blatter, and even put aside the suspicion of collusion with some FIFA executive committee members. down.

Coupled with the help of some media, Platini was naturally portrayed as a brave revolutionary who resisted the tyranny of his boss for the sake of justice and integrity.

But there is a saying that is very true, there is a gain and a loss.

Although Platini's voice was greatly appreciated by fans and the media, he was also under tremendous pressure from within FIFA, and even some voices appeared within UEFA.

After all, how long has Platini been in power? Less than seven years!

Can a person without any previous qualifications integrate the world's richest football association composed of more than 50 countries into a monolithic one within seven years?

Everyone knows this is impossible!

So, if someone covets the position of UEFA president, they will naturally be wooed by FIFA. In the final analysis, it is all benefits!

When Platini asked what should I do now, Yang Huan shook his head and smiled slightly.

Just like Platini, it's too amateurish to be a politician!

This is also in football. If you really enter politics, you will be killed by your political opponents every minute!

"Michelle, your current situation is very optimistic, and your position is quite stable, don't mess yourself up!" Yang Huanyu persuaded earnestly.

Sometimes he felt strange, how come such a man in his fifties is not as calm as a young man in his early twenties?

Could it be because of the family environment in which I grew up?

"There will definitely be different voices within UEFA,

It is impossible for at least fifty member states to support you, but so what? What qualifications do they have to object? Even, tell me, who is qualified to challenge you? "

When Yang Huan said this, Platini really took the trouble to think about it, but he really didn't come up with it.

You know, it is not easy to run for the presidency of UEFA and win the support of more than 50 member countries.

When Platini wanted to run for election, he first persuaded the president of the French Football Association to give up the position of the French Football Association's executive committee in UEFA to Platini, and asked him to go to UEFA to be gilded first, and then to FIFA to be gilded , Finally, when Johansson's momentum was at its weakest, Platini suddenly burst out.

But Platini didn't come out of nowhere!

At that time, Platini was young and strong, belonging to the young and strong faction, completely different from the old Johansson, and the slogan also fit Platini's image, that is, reform, and through his own reform plan, won a series of Support from small and medium countries.

This includes the expansion of the UEFA Champions League, especially for small and medium-sized countries!

In this UEFA presidential election, each national football association has one vote for each member, and won the majority of small and medium-sized countries. Platini is tantamount to invincible.

In fact, Platini has been doing this all the time since taking over as UEFA president, so his position as UEFA president can't be said to be rock-solid, but at least he can be regarded as safe and secure.

"You have done quite well in the past few years and won the majority, and the expansion of the European Cup has made everyone in UEFA salivate. Can they not follow you?"

Yang Huan just laughed, the expansion of the European Cup is also a great weapon to attract more people around Platini.

"The only thing worth considering now is the European giants. Your relationship with them is relatively poor, especially the strong promotion of healthy fiscal policies. There is also room for discussion, so they will return one by one!"

What are the biggest fears of the current European giants?

It must be that the big cake of the Champions League does not have its own share!

As for the rumors about the so-called European Super League or something, it's nothing but nonsense!

UEFA previously promoted a healthy financial policy by deducting Champions League bonuses and sharing, so teams including Manchester City and Chelsea have been punished successively.

But everyone knows that European professional football is entering the era of large capital operation, and since it is large capital, the consideration must not be whether there are debts or financial health, but risk control.

In other words, it doesn't matter how much debt you have, as long as there is no risk of bankruptcy.

Even to some extent, if you have the ability to control your debt ratio to a low-risk stage, then the higher your debt, it proves that your team is better and stronger.

The reason is simple, if you want to have such a high debt, then you have to have such a high revenue!

Just like Real Madrid, do you have a lot of debt?

many!

But Florentino is a bull. They can further increase their debts through continuous income generation, and then use debts to introduce superstars, and then use superstars to join to further increase the team's revenue.

This is a cycle!

As for the risks, there are indeed, because as long as the revenue declines, Real Madrid can't continue to play this game, and they may even face bankruptcy, but what does it matter?

Real Madrid is a membership system. Even if the debt goes bankrupt, there are members to bear it.

Furthermore, Real Madrid employs so many accountants and marketing personnel in order to minimize this risk and continuously improve the club's profitability.

Even in times of economic crisis like this, banks are more than happy to lend money to Real Madrid because it is guaranteed!

Therefore, in this era of large capital operations, the fiscal health policy may not be effective, but it will definitely make the giants dissatisfied, but the small and medium teams may not be happy either.

For example, Manchester City, the owner of the Abu Dhabi consortium is rich and self-willed, so why not let others vote?

Therefore, what Yang Huan meant was that with a small opening in the fiscal health policy, Platini's position would be more stable.

After hearing what Master Huan said, the Frenchman kept nodding, "Okay, I know what to do!"

"Also, you must remember that what you said before was not cruel enough or firm enough!"

"What do you mean?" Platini was a little confused.

Yang Huan slapped himself on the forehead vigorously, thinking to himself, no wonder these Europeans have to learn Sun Tzu's art of war when they want to play tricks, it's really infuriating rhythm!

"Think about how good your relationship with Blatter was in the past, and how deep people's suspicion of you is now, and if you want to prove your innocence, you must use more and more powerful means to achieve Effect!"

Platini understood a little bit, "Master Huan, what do you mean, push to the death?"

"Yes!" Yang Huan nodded, but shook his head again, "But there is also knowledge in it, if you are as tepid as before, everyone will think you are putting on a show, showing off under pressure, and as time goes by , Those who originally supported you were disappointed when they saw that you had no new moves!"

Platini nodded immediately, no wonder many voices supporting him have weakened recently.

"However, is it possible to get more support if you push too hard?"

Yang Huan didn't wait for Platini's reply, shook his head again, and said, "No, because you are pushing too hard. On the one hand, FIFA may jump over the wall in a hurry, and directly treat you as a thorn in the head and as the main target. , On the other hand, the fans and the media will also feel that you are eager to get rid of the suspicion, which is not good for you!"

"Then you mean..."

Yang Huan snapped his fingers, "Aren't you too soft to speak out a few times before?"

"Well, it's a little soft!"

"Then upgrade!"

"Upgrade?" Platini understood a little bit.

"Yes, you just said that you are very disappointed with FIFA's dilatory attitude, and you have not expressed your position for a long time, and you can't see any performance of determination and sincerity. You will press again, but you must speak ruthlessly. a little."

"If FIFA gives a response, that's fine, you can take advantage of the slope to go further; but if there is still no response, you can speak more harshly, and even issue an ultimatum. In short, it is to Use this escalating rhetoric and gesture to consolidate your image as an anti-black vanguard!"

When Platini heard this, he really felt a kind of rush to kneel on the surface and be loyal.

Hearing what Master Huan said, he really felt enlightened.

"I understand, Young Master Huan, I'll be interviewed by the media immediately when I get back, and I'll say some harsh words!"

"Don't talk too much!" Yang Huan reminded again, "No one likes people who talk too much. Besides, even a single sentence from a truly influential person can cause huge waves. It's just bluffing, no matter how much you talk, people will treat you as a fart!"

Platini nodded hastily, and he also understood in his heart that whether his own words are useful or not, Master Huan's money and resources are very important.

"Michelle, believe me, the situation is tilting in your favor. As long as you don't make any mistakes and Blatter takes the stage, the position of FIFA president will belong to you!" Yang Huan said with a smile.

Platini listened, and his eyes showed a trace of fanaticism.

If FIFA is a kingdom outside the world power system, then the president of FIFA is the emperor in this kingdom.

Who wouldn't want to be an emperor, to taste the feeling of life and death?

Seeing him like this, Yang Huan knew it well.

In fact, Platini is really good at life.

Southampton's draw in the group stage was very lucky. In the knockout round of the sixteenth round, they encountered Galatasaray, which has not been in a particularly good state recently. It can be regarded as the second best draw among the seven groups. .

With Southampton's strength, it is not impossible to qualify for the group stage, even eliminate Galatasaray, and advance to the quarter-finals.

As for reaching the quarter-finals, the teams encountered will definitely be very strong. At that time, it will depend on Southampton's own performance and luck.

If you encounter strong teams like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona too early, it will be a disaster for Southampton!

It can be seen that the draw is certainly a kind of luck, but in the top professional arena like the Champions League, where there are so many strong players, if you want to go to the end, no, or even reach the semi-finals, you don't have enough tyrannical strength. That is simply impossible.

Just like the Galatasaray we are facing now, its strength and state are relatively weak in the top sixteen.

But in the telecommunications stadium, Mancini's team relied on strict defense and insisted on not giving Southampton the slightest chance.

Half an hour has passed, and the situation has not been resolved for a long time, which is really worrying.

But obviously some people are not willing to let it go!
