Chapter 1900 Rebellious Boy

Why is the bald Infantino said to be a rebel?

Because in Infantino's growth history, two of the more controversial incidents were stained with the word "betrayal" and were criticized by many people.

The first betrayal was when Infantino abandoned his former partner.

In 1997, Infantino, as a lawyer, fought a famous lawsuit and became famous all over the world.

At that time, the Swiss Sion team appealed to UEFA after losing to Spartak Moscow on the grounds that Spartak Moscow's goal crossbar was lower than the normal standard. In this case, Infantino served as Sion's The team's lawyer became famous.

This lawsuit paved the way for Infantino's subsequent life: 3 years later, he was able to enter UEFA, and another 4 years later, he was appointed as UEFA's legal director, and began to become a leader in dealing with the European Union and the European Commission. and among the powerful governments of the European Union.

Then he was the Assistant Secretary-General of UEFA, and in 2009 he became the Secretary-General of UEFA. It was this step-by-step growth that enabled him to join the FIFA Reform Committee as a representative of UEFA in the summer of 2015. This enabled him to be elected FIFA president. Looking back, the 1997 lawsuit opened a "highway" for Infantino to rise to the top.

But in 2011, Infantino chose to kill the "noble man" of that year.

In 2011, FIFA accused the Swiss Sion team of illegal recruitment. Infantino, who was the Secretary-General of UEFA at the time, was forced to make the final decision himself under tremendous pressure: canceling the Sion team’s European football team. The right to participate in the Fed Cup.

To this day, Sion team chairman Constantine is still very dissatisfied. Of course, some people say that Infantino is doing this selflessly.

Haha, the prince is a prince, but it does not necessarily mean that he is selfless. You must know that there are many clubs that illegally recruit people. Many times UEFA turns a blind eye. Besides, which club does not have its own backers?

It stands to reason that with Infantino here, the Sion team will at most suffer some cash penalties and will not be deprived of the right to participate in the Europa League.

But because of the so-called 'pressure', Infantino directly imposed the death penalty, which no one could accept.

Not only that, when Infantino was growing up, Platini was also considered another of his "elegant people."

It was during Platini's tenure that Infantino completed a step-by-step leap from UEFA's legal director to assistant secretary-general to secretary-general. During this period, Infantino was considered Platini's successor. Ni's most loyal and capable assistant.

But when Platini was in trouble because of "black money for labor fees", Infantino, as the second-largest figure in UEFA, always expressed his absolute support for Platini and helped him pass Determination to clear the name through legal procedures.

But at the last critical moment, Infantino suddenly decided to run for FIFA president, which also caused chaos in Platini's camp.

"L'Equipe" revealed that Platini was very angry about Infantino's move. The report quoted a close confidant of Platini as saying, "Platini regards Infantino as his right-hand man, but he A lot of ZZ activities were carried out secretly."

On the surface, Platini is still saying that he trusts Infantino, "Infantino and I have been working hand in hand. The day when my charges are cleared, everything will be back on track."

But it is obvious that even if Platini is clear, he and Infantino, who is now the most powerful person in football, can no longer have any so-called "master-servant relationship."

This may be Infantino's objective nature.

But the important thing is that Infantino's business ability is quite good. He is proficient in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Arabic. He can casually tell the classics of dozens of mainstream European clubs and teams from decades ago and personally participate in them. It has successfully reformed important competitions such as the Champions League and European Cup. It is young and vigorous and determined to innovate.

People expect this workaholic to inject fresh air into FIFA, and people expect this most powerful man in football to bring more positive energy to the sport of football.

But only people in the interest circle know that there must be no positive talk with Infantino. His motivation is to make his position more stable.

As for money, Yang Cheng doesn't think Infantino will pay special attention to it. He has no shortage of money in his position. If he is too greedy, he will easily be attacked. With Infantino's shrewdness, He shouldn't do such stupid things!

But if he wants to 'bribe' him, there are better ways, such as increasing sponsorship fees.

How to evaluate the performance of a FIFA president?

The most obvious criterion is the success of the World Cup. To successfully host a World Cup, the full support of sponsors is absolutely indispensable.

This gave Yang Cheng an opportunity to connect with Infantino.

Of course, for now, we still need to reach an agreement with Tyrrell on the Philadelphia Airport, and we will discuss the sponsorship later.

"Mr. Tyrrell, I'm sorry, I was thinking a little too far and got distracted. Regarding the matter of grabbing share with American Airlines at the Philadelphia Airport, what I mean is this. Let's test the other party's reaction with a price war first."

Yang Cheng said this, but Tyrell didn't have the nerve to pursue it. Of course, he didn't want to pursue his frustration at being ignored.

He cleared his throat and said, "I suggest you start with service~"

Yang Cheng looked at the other party absurdly. An airport operation officer with the worst service management in the world actually talked to Yang Cheng about service. Are you crazy or am I crazy?

However, this suggestion cannot be easily judged as right or wrong. Today, there are more than 100 airlines in the United States, and flight routes are also extending in all directions. In addition to the many routes, there is another reason why airplanes are so popular in the United States that cannot be ignored. The reason is that air tickets are too cheap.

Flying from Los Angeles to San Francisco, even if you don't book in advance, only costs US$150 round-trip. If you drive yourself, it will not only take nearly 6 hours on the road, but also cost almost US$150 in gas for the round-trip.

And if you buy air tickets in the off-season, the price may even be cheaper. Therefore, the preferred means of transportation for many Americans for long-distance travel is generally airplanes. However, don’t think that Americans like to fly. This is definitely a misunderstanding.

Because all major and small airlines in the United States have basically no service at all, and each one is worse than the last, especially the routes within the United States. The most basic thing is that planes on domestic routes generally do not provide in-flight meals, and even some There wasn't even a glass of water when I was there. Of course you could want it, but you had to pay for it yourself, and it was expensive. It didn't matter whether it was a low-cost airline or not.

In addition to not eating well, sitting may not be comfortable. If you choose economy class, you will find that the distance between the front and rear rows is usually very narrow. If you are a particularly fat passenger, one person may have to occupy two seats. I can barely sit down, so don’t expect to have a good sleep on the plane.
