We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 394: Hard fight against UEFA, Villa's two guns (please remember to read the new book)
"They believe that you and Villa have threatened the commercial value of football in Europe and are trying to push for sanctions against Villa at relevant meetings."

"Including but not limited to splitting up the players owned by Villa and restricting Villa's signings."

"Does that worry you?"

He Tianqi shook his head: "I never worry about these things. There is no one in the football world who can win all the time, even though I have lost two or three times."

"Compared to the damage that being too strong to be suspenseful brings to football, the lack of suspense caused by injustice is the real killer of this sport."

"I hope everyone will work towards this direction, because we are still far from achieving zero human manipulation of matches and human misjudgment."

Reporter: "There are rumors that Platini and Blatter also support sanctions against Aston Villa. This is also their retaliation for your interference in the World Cup Asian qualifying quota issue."

He Tianqi smiled more kindly: "I don't know where these rumors come from, but this is obviously nonsense."

"Villa will not be sanctioned, at least not by Platini and Blatter."

Reporter: "You mean you're not afraid of them?"

He Tianqi: "I am not afraid of any opponent, if someone wants to be my opponent."

He Tianqi's arrogance makes people think that he has become arrogant because he has won too many championships.

No matter how influential you are in the football world, they are officials after all, and you are just a coach.

Even Zidane and Southgate thought the move was unwise.

Instead, Modric noticed something.

The next night, Modric made a cup of strawberry and taro milk tea and knocked on He Tianqi's door.

It was Clara who opened the door for Modric.

"Hello, Master's wife. This is the new milk tea I learned to make." Modric nodded and bowed. In fact, he was older than Clara. "I don't know how it's made, so I brought it here for the boss to taste."

Clara took the milk tea and said, "You are thoughtful. Tianqi has always liked the milk tea you made. We have studied it privately for a long time, but we can't make your taste."

This "we" obviously also includes Monica Bellucci and Barbara.

Although the three of them do not meet in real life, they actually have a chat group of "loving family".

The main theme is that hell is empty and the Shura field is on earth.

Modric didn't take up this sensitive topic at all, and smiled slightly: "It's mainly because I used tea that is a specialty of my hometown."

Then Clara took Modric to He Tianqi's study, where He Tianqi was looking for useful information from various news.

These news are all reporting on Vera.

Sky Sports: "Manchester City's duo failed to snipe Villa, and both teams were madly scored ten goals by Villa!"

BBC: "Aston Villa won the League Cup for the fifth time in a row! Kaka was in high spirits and won the man of the match!"

Bild: "Villa won its fourth title of the season, and the attention paid to the players in the team has increased rapidly, and they are in danger of being divided up."

Turin Sports Daily: "Many giants are interested in several players in the Villa team. This season may be Villa's last chance to win the eighth championship!"

The New York Times: "The Major League Soccer has submitted a development plan that is expected to become one of the top three professional leagues in the United States within ten years, challenging the top five European leagues!"

Los Angeles Post: "The president of the Major League Soccer said that superstars will come to the United States this summer, including but not limited to Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Bale, Kaka, Ribery, De Bruyne, Dong Fangzhuo, Rooney, Ibrahimovic and others!"

Modric was really angry when he saw the news.

Because no one mentioned the name of this great leader of the Knights of the Apocalypse throughout the entire article!
Which letter in "Luka Modric" can't be written?

I'll teach you!
"Hey, this..." Modric saw a piece of scrap news.

It’s not because he is sharp, but because He Tianqi is watching the news.

The content of this news is a phased summary of the "Financial Fair Play Act of the Five Major Leagues" implemented this season.

This bill is mainly intended to address the current situation where many clubs are facing bankruptcy risks due to excessive debt and financial opacity.

The purpose is to prevent clubs from pursuing short-term results through borrowing and unreasonable spending, and to ensure the long-term financial stability and sustainable development of football clubs.

It sounds great and looks pretty standard.

There is nothing wrong with the bill itself.

But as soon as the bill is promoted, the question of how to define reasonableness and income will become a sword of Damocles in UEFA's hands.

You can blackmail anyone you want.

Whoever you want to ban, you can ban.

Their first wave of targets were the wealthy and powerful bosses who came to the European leagues.

But teams like Palermo, Villa and Alaves, which are in good operating condition or even extremely good, may not be able to escape.

Since we can define your unreasonable income and expenditure, we can naturally further define whether you "should spend" or "must spend".

This report is a proposal by an ordinary UEFA member who was not assigned by anyone. In order to prevent the liquidity of European football from being swept away, the Financial Fair Play Act should include "clubs should reinvest 50% of their annual profits into football-related expenses."

The young congressman's sister is a "good friend" of Platini's son.

Modric asked: "Is there something wrong with this ratio? I think 50% is more reasonable. After all, the owners of Manchester United and Arsenal sucked blood from the clubs and made the fans angry."

He Tianqi shook his head: "The proportion can change. Today it is 50% reasonable, but tomorrow it may be 80% unreasonable."

"The day after tomorrow we can even have a dynamic ratio, with those who are on good terms with me spending 20% ​​and those who are not on good terms with me spending 90%."

"Whoever holds the standard is the real winner. So don't be fooled by their high-sounding words, but do you think the standards are defined by football fans? Obviously not, right?"

"And this kind of mechanical and rigid rule is more harmful to some special clubs, such as us."

Modric responded: "Yes, you bought high and sold low in Palermo. Although there were not big deals every season, the average profit every season was over 100 million."

"If the team has to spend the money, there will be nowhere to spend it. Even if it's to repair the stadium, it can't be repaired every year."

"And if you bribe the other party and get them to reinterpret the rules, you can save that expense. This kind of rule actually creates conditions for corruption."

He Tianqi smiled and said, “Such situations and such so-called industry associations are everywhere in Europe and the United States.”

Modric: "So what are you going to do? Against them?"

"This is currently only an internal discussion. If you mobilize your connections, you may be able to prevent this proposal from passing."

He Tianqi shook his head: "No, there is no need for that."

Modric: "Is it because you don't want to confront Platini's forces? They..."

He Tianqi: "Because Platini won't be able to stay alive for much longer."

Modric took a breath.

what's the situation?
Platini's support for Barcelona has made the financial backers behind the scenes very satisfied. He has a great chance of being re-elected next year and the situation is very optimistic. Why would the boss say that Platini won't be able to stay for long?

Is the boss going to snipe Platini?
You know what, as the number one legendary coach in football, He Tianqi's voice speaking out to canvass votes for Platini's opponents may really change the situation.

But that doesn't mean you can definitely turn the tables.

Where does the boss get his confidence from?
Modric couldn't figure it out.

He only knew that the boss seemed to be planning something big, and some people were going to suffer!
Just like what happened in Italy eight years ago, but this time the impact could be even greater!

Because the last time it was only the sky of Italian football that changed.

What may change this time is the whole European football world!

The next day, He Tianqi publicly expressed his doubts about the Financial Fair Play Act, believing that football should not artificially create so many standards.

If Europe does not welcome wealthy people to invest in football, it can simply close the channel.

Don't just rob people of their money under the pretext of doing good for the fans and the team.

No matter how superior the Financial Fair Play Act is, it cannot explain one problem, that is, part of the money in football will be obtained by UEFA-related organizations that do not directly constitute football matches.

"If football is destined to gain some wealth, I hope it all goes to the teams, rather than some people taking a portion of it away," He Tianqi said. "If football is destined to lose some wealth, I also think it's better for it to go to the team owners than to the UEFA officials who get something for nothing."

"The former actually built at least one club!"

He Tianqi's words were supported by many wealthy teams including Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco.

At the same time, many bosses of traditional strong teams also think that what He Tianqi said is right. They do not want UEFA to intervene in their leverage operations.

This voice has caused huge trouble for UEFA.

Some people think that He Tianqi is being used as a gun because his team Villa will not be threatened by the Financial Fair Play Act.

But soon someone dug up the discussion agenda of UEFA's most recent meeting.

The requirement that the team's revenue must be forcibly used for football expenses is obviously disadvantageous to a profitable team like Villa.

For a time, a struggle for interests between He Tianqi and Platini broke out.

Platini publicly responded to He Tianqi's doubts, saying: "If there was no UEFA, all kinds of problems would have arisen in major leagues long ago, and there would be no such exciting European competitions in the world."

"We are a non-profit organization and we are dedicated to football work. I don't know why some people are so against us."

“Perhaps Aston Villa wants to use the money it earns in England and Europe to support China’s development and construction?”

This sentence is full of gunpowder, but the key is that it works very well in Europe and the United States.

He Tianqi later responded through Clara's Viewpoint: "No, no, no, our money may be used to support the poor people in Gaza, aiming to discover a group of football talents from the Middle East and inject new strength into European football."

Platini and his financial sponsor were almost angry to death.

In the Western world, you can even challenge the United States directly, but you must never provoke international capital.

He Tianqi is about to completely break off relations with Platini.

……

March 8, FA Cup quarter-final.

Villa vs Everton.

They defeated the Toffees 2-0 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Salah scored twice and was named the best player of the match.

But this also means that he will most likely miss the Champions League quarter-final match against AC Milan.

As a result, the Egypt derby, which many Middle Eastern and African fans were eager to see, did not take place.

The so-called Egyptian Derby refers to the "Big Pharaoh" Salah of Villa and the "Little Pharaoh" El Shaarawy of AC Milan.

Both were born in 1992, with Salah being about three months older.

They are all right-wing players and have recently emerged in the top five leagues.

In the Egyptian national team, they also have competition for positions.

On the last national team match day, El Shaarawy swung to the left to make way for Salah.

But the fans of the little Pharaoh are not convinced. They think El Shaarawy is better than Salah.

After all, El Shaarawy has become a main rotation player in AC Milan.

Salah is at the back of the lineup among Villa's rotation players.

But Salah’s fans also have something to say. After all, Bale is above Salah, so it is normal for him to have a low appearance order.

But if Bale really leaves Villa next season, Salah will be able to become the team's starter, and the scenery you and El Shaarawy see will not be the same.

The fans of both sides were arguing loudly, hoping to use this battle to determine the winner.

The result was destroyed by He Tianqi.

March 11, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Aston Villa will face AC Milan at home.

The Rossoneri's starting lineup today is:

Balotelli
Robinho, Poli, El Shaarawy
Essien, De Jong

Urbe, Zapata, Lamy, Zaccardo

Abbiati
-

Among them, Zaccardo was He Tianqi's main right-back in Palermo, a defensive pioneer and Italian iron gate!

This AC Milan is quite economical.

The results are good, the expenses are not high, and the stars are quite bright.

Under the guidance of He Tianqi, Barbara has made a fortune from AC Milan in the past decade.

Both team performance and commercial profits are flourishing!
In order to repay her kindness, Barbara also gave He Tianqi her own two flowers.

On the Villa side, Bale has not fully recovered from his injury and was not included in the match roster:
Lewandowski, Lukaku
De Bruyne, Kaka, Modric

Kanter
Azpilicueta, Boateng, Van Dijk, Walker

Courtois
-

Not to mention outsiders, even Southgate was speechless when he saw this lineup for the first time.

Three attacking midfielders + two strikers?
Is your Kante an eight-armed arhat? Can he do a good job of defense by himself?

But He Tianqi's reply to him was: "Defense? Why should we defend?"

"With two guns in hand, the world is mine!"

Lewandowski and Lukaku cried with excitement after hearing this outside the locker room.

It turns out that they have such a high status in the head coach's heart!

Vera's double guns will surely become famous in the future!
