I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 269 World Champion! Return to the Premier League! In the world of football, I am the biggest rule! [Subscribe]

After playing the 15th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese faced the last round of the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week.

Yang Cheng continued to play with an all-substitute lineup.

The two sides drew 1-1 at the Parc des Princes in Paris.

Lavezzi and Giroud each scored a goal.

Due to this draw, Paris Saint-Germain lost to Bundesliga's Dortmund in the battle for second place in the Champions League group stage.

Klopp's team beat Dynamo Kyiv 2-0 at home and successfully advanced as the second in the group.

Paris Saint-Germain can only go to the Europa League with regret.

After the Champions League group stage, among the four Premier League teams participating, Bayswater Chinese, Manchester United and Arsenal all advanced as group leaders.

Only unlucky Manchester City, because they were in the same group with Real Madrid, only got second place in the group.

This also creates more uncertainties for the upcoming Champions League round of 16 knockout matches.

……

Back to the Premier League, we ushered in the 16th round of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese challenge Wigan Athletic away.

Interestingly, Roberto Martinez also deployed a 541 iron bucket formation to face the Bayswater Chinese.

But the home team's defense only lasted 35 minutes.

Gareth Bale scored the first goal for Bayswater Chinese with a shot from inside the penalty area in the 35th minute.

In the 43rd minute, Gareth Bale assisted Lewandowski to score another goal.

After the second half, Gareth Bale scored another goal in the 63rd minute, making it his second goal.

In the 78th minute, Sterling, who came on as a substitute, assisted Lewandowski to score his second goal.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Wigan Athletic 4-0 away from home thanks to two braces from Gareth Bale and Lewandowski.

Bayswater Chinese have had a big offensive explosion this season.

Lewandowski has scored 16 goals in 19 league games so far.

Gareth Bale also scored 16 goals in the first 15 games.

The two players ranked first and second respectively in the Premier League scorer list.

This undoubtedly allowed everyone to see the powerful offensive firepower of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Yang Cheng and the coaching staff are both clear about this.

The activation of Lewandowski and Gareth Bale, in addition to the players' personal abilities and conditions, is also related to the team's configuration.

In the frontcourt, the starting lineup used by the Bayswater Chinese this season is a trident combination of Hazard, Lewandowski and Gareth Bale.

Last season it was Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Walcott.

It is obvious that this season's configuration is more focused on Lewandowski and Gareth Bale than last season.

Because Hazard's personal ability to hold the ball, dribble and pass the ball can help Lewandowski and Gareth Bale share the defensive pressure very well.

Walcott's scoring ability and off-ball running are indeed outstanding, but he is not as good as Hazard in terms of ball-handling offense.

From the beginning of this season to now, Walcott missed the opportunity to prepare because of participating in the European Cup and the Olympics, which resulted in him falling behind in the competition at the beginning of the new season.

The little tiger himself felt helpless about this.

But as a local youth player, and a player trained by the Chinese at Bayswater, Walcott firmly believes that he will be able to regain his starting position.

By the way, the little tiger has only scored 3 goals in the Premier League so far this season.

In the first 16 rounds of last season, he scored 6 goals.

But so far this season, Bayswater Chinese have scored 16 goals and conceded 61 goals in the first 9 games.

During the same period last season, the team scored 53 goals and conceded 4 goals.

Overall, the offensive firepower is stronger, but the defense has obviously deteriorated.

This is basically in line with the expectations of Yang Cheng and the coaching staff.

After all, the departure of Kompany and Ryan Bertrand is unlikely to have no impact on the defense.

But on the other hand, if we can train Luke Shaw and then train local players such as Stones and Maguire, then it would be worth paying some price in a short period of time!
In this round, Arsenal defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-0 at home with Fabregas scoring twice.

Chelsea beat Sunderland 3-1 away from home thanks to Falcao's double goal.

Liverpool narrowly beat West Ham United 3-2 away from home.

In the most watched Manchester derby of this round, Manchester United took the lead in the first half at the City Stadium thanks to Rooney's two goals.

But in the second half, Manchester City scored two goals in a row to tie the score.

It was not until the very end of the game, in the 92nd minute, that Cavani's winning goal helped Manchester United beat Manchester City 3-2.

This also made the Red Devils very proud.

……

The day after the 16th round of the Premier League, Yang Cheng led the entire team on a Qatar Airways special plane from London to Japan to participate in the 2012 Club World Cup.

This is the first time that the Chinese from Bayswater have participated in the Club World Cup in three years.

This time, Yang Cheng brought all the first-team players to Japan except for the injured.

Long before departure, the Bayswater Chinese had been warming up.

Especially before departure, the team's itinerary was announced on the Internet early.

Therefore, when the special plane arrived in Tokyo, Japan, it received a warm welcome from Japanese fans.

There were more than two thousand fans coming to the airport to pick up the players, and the situation almost got out of control at one point.

The news in Japan that day was mostly reports on the Chinese in Bayswater.

The TV station even conducted a brief interview with Yang Cheng and the players when they welcomed the Chinese from Bayswater at the airport.

Everyone in the team is full of confidence about the upcoming Club World Cup.

What makes this Club World Cup different from previous ones is that it introduced goal-line technology for the first time.

During the game, the referee will wear a special watch to receive the signal of the goal.

Once the ball crosses the goal line, the watch on the referee's wrist will give an alert.

This is a magnetic induction detection technology!
In addition, the Hawk-Eye system will be introduced for the first time at this Club World Cup.

But this isn't anything very high-tech, it's mainly just a high-speed camera.

The Premier League and the Champions League have not yet introduced such equipment, but the first-team training ground of the Bayswater Chinese Brent Training Center has actually started using the Hawk-Eye system a long time ago.

So I am not interested in this technology.

Yang Cheng even joked, "The use of this high-tech equipment is very beneficial to us!"

As early as the team won the Champions League last season, to the team's trip to Asia to participate in the International Champions Cup this summer, and then to the Club World Cup in December, the Bayswater Chinese have already developed a complete commercial promotion plan for this schedule.

During the summer preparations, a Japanese sponsor hoped that the Chinese in Bayswater would arrange their training in Japan.

But after comprehensive consideration of various aspects, the Chinese in Bayswater chose to move to China's Flower City and enjoy the benefits of the plateau.

After arriving in Japan this time, the next day, Yang Cheng led players including Gareth Bale, Lewandowski, Walcott, Modric and others to attend a signing ceremony.

Adam Crozier, CEO of Bayswater Chinese, signed a five-year sponsorship contract on behalf of the club with Yanmar, a famous Japanese engine manufacturer.

As Japan's leading engine manufacturer, Yanmar has a market share of over 60% in the world's sailboat engines and over 50% in small diesel engines for global construction machinery.

Yanmar President Kento Yamaoka said excitedly at the signing ceremony: "We are very honored to become the global partner of the best club in the world!"

Kento Yamaoka said that Bayswater Chinese have a large number of followers around the world and have extraordinary influence.

“We believe that this partnership will help us deepen our connection with fans in Japan and help us actively expand into the global market!”

Coincidentally, Bayswater Chinese subsequently held a signing ceremony and press conference in succession.

In addition to Yanmar, Bayswater Chinese has formally reached a global partnership with Japanese food manufacturer Nissin.

Nissin will launch a range of food products under the Bayswater Chinese brand name and sell them globally, and will also be officially retailed in Bayswater Chinese stores and stadiums.

“We will launch a series of special activities to closely link the club with our products!”

By the way, Cup Noodles and Demae Iccho are both brands under Nissin.

In addition, Bayswater Chinese has also reached agreements with Japanese printer giants Epson and Kansai Paint, officially becoming global partners.

There is also Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, which has reached a regional partnership with Bayswater Chinese.

After the Chinese from Bayswater arrived in Japan, they signed a number of major contracts in just three days, which immediately attracted strong attention from major European media.

This is not the first time.

The business team led by Adam Crozier has long been hailed by the European football world as the most combative team.

In just a few years, the Chinese business empire in Bayswater was built.

In terms of the number of sponsors, Bayswater Chinese are actually far behind Manchester United and Real Madrid.

The simplest point is that Manchester United has 40 partner banks around the world, which is far more than Bayswater Chinese.

But the sponsorship fee of Bayswater Chinese is higher than that of Manchester United.

The media has previously revealed that as a regional partner, Bayswater Chinese offered £300 million, but Manchester United only offered £200 million, and there are even some small countries and regions that only offered £100 million.

As a global partner, Bayswater Chinese asked for 500 million pounds, but Manchester United's maximum was only 300 million pounds.

There are many reasons for this difference.

Deloitte has previously conducted a special analysis on this matter.

Manchester United and Real Madrid adopt a scatter-net model, which is equivalent to simple brand licensing and they ignore everything else.

But the Chinese in Bayswater adopt a specialized model, charging higher prices, but also providing better supporting services.

For example, the cooperation with Nissin.

After the product is launched, the two parties will conduct various online and offline linkages around the world and hold various publicity and promotion activities. This is a win-win model with very good benefits for both parties.

Interactions like this are rarely seen in traditional top teams.

But this also means that the number of employees in Bayswater Chinese's new media group and commercial department is significantly greater than that of Real Madrid and Manchester United.

The advantage is that sponsors who have tasted the sweetness of cooperation will basically continue to cooperate.

This makes Bayswater Chinese increasingly attractive to sponsors, and commercial revenue is also rising steadily.

The model of Real Madrid and Manchester United is more of an asset-light model, which tests the ability of the investment promotion team.

The Times of Britain asserted that the money-making trip of the Chinese from Bayswater to Japan, apart from the appearance fees and prize money, must have brought in more than 2000 million pounds in commercial income alone.

“It’s so easy to make money from the Japanese!”

……

December 12th, evening Japan time.

Yokohama International Stadium.

In the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, Bayswater Chinese played against Monterrey from Mexico.

This is not the first time that the Bayswater Chinese have participated in the Club World Cup.

On the contrary, Yang Cheng and the team have played in several Club World Cups in the past few years and have rich experience.

Before the game, the team also gained a thorough understanding of Monterrey, Mexico.

Especially the match against Ulsan Hyundai in the second round.

The Bayswater Chinese scouts watched the entire game on site and provided the team with a very detailed report.

From Monterrey's technical characteristics to their player configuration and so on, everything is available.

Yang Cheng deployed his troops based on this report.

Just 6 minutes into the game, Stones made a long pass from the backcourt and accurately sent it to the left side of the frontcourt.

After Hazard stopped the ball and dribbled into the left side of the penalty area, he dribbled past the defender, got into a one-on-one situation, and pushed the ball into the far corner to score.

1 is better than 0!

Just 4 minutes later, Hazard dribbled past two opposing defenders and passed the ball to the middle.

Giroud wanted to stop the ball and turn around, but he stopped a little too far and missed the chance to score.

But in the 13th minute, Monterrey's deep midfielder Mesa made a mistake in stopping the ball. After Pogba successfully intercepted the ball, he quickly rushed to the outside of the penalty area and scored again with a long shot.

2 is better than 0!

In the 17th minute, Luke Shaw dribbled the ball forward on the left and after a series of cooperation with Hazard and Pogba, he passed the ball to the back point in the penalty area, and Walcott shot into the goal from close range.

3 is better than 0!

The fast-paced whirlwind attack of Bayswater Chinese at the start was difficult to resist even for the skilled Mexican team, but after a wave of fierce attacks, the game gradually returned to a balance.

But after the change of sides in the second half, just 17 seconds into the game, Hazard dribbled through the left and assisted Giroud to score from close range.

4 is better than 0!

In the 48th minute, Giroud moved to the left, received a pass from Hazard, broke into the penalty area, and passed the ball to the middle with his left foot.

The little tiger followed up with a shot and sent the ball into Monterrey's goal again.

5 is better than 0!

In the 50th minute, Hazard got the ball again and passed four Monterrey defenders, but his cross from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by the opponent's defender and went out of bounds.

In the last shot of the ball, Hazard obviously had no strength left.

There was basically no suspense for the rest of the game.

Bayswater Chinese finally defeated Monterrey 5-0 and advanced to the finals!

……

On the evening of December 12, in the Club World Cup final, Bayswater Chinese played against Brazilian Corinthians.

Yang Cheng sent out all his main players in this game.

From the goalkeeper to the defense to the midfield and frontcourt, the team played with the strongest lineup.

This is not only the requirement of FIFA, Yang Cheng also hopes that the team can win the championship.

Just 12 minutes into the game, Pepe took advantage of a corner kick and headed the ball into Corinthians' goal.

1 is better than 0!

In the 38th minute, Toni Kroos made a wonderful pass. Lewandowski stopped the ball 10 meters away from the goal in the penalty area, then cleverly volleyed the ball over the goalkeeper and into the goal.

2 is better than 0!

After the second half, in the 54th minute, Gareth Bale pushed the ball from the outside of the left corner of the small penalty area and accurately sent the ball into the right side of Corinthians' goal.

3 is better than 0!

However, Corinthians then scored a goal through Paulinho, a midfielder who Yang Cheng was very familiar with.

But before the end of the game, Piszczek made a wonderful pass from the right and connected with Lewandowski again.

The Polish center forward poked the ball in front of the goal and sent the ball into the Brazilian goal again cleanly.

4 is better than 1!

In the end, Bayswater Chinese defeated Corinthians 4-1 and successfully won the Club World Cup!

Since 2006, when the Champions League champion Barcelona lost to Internacional, European teams have won the Club World Cup for six consecutive years!
The Chinese from Bayswater once again took home the $500 million championship prize!

Winning the championship is a routine operation for Yang Cheng and his team.

Neither Monterrey nor Corinthians had the strength to threaten the Chinese in Bayswater.

But what really caught his attention was after he won the championship.

After the award ceremony, FIFA President Blatter, who was in charge of presenting the awards, took Yang Cheng's hand cordially.

……

In the past few years, Yang Cheng has actually never lacked opportunities to communicate with Blatter face to face.

Whether it is in some formal occasions, some private gatherings, or business activities.

But today, Blatter's behavior was clearly completely different from before.

After the game, he invited Yang Cheng to a relatively secluded box on the upper floor of the podium in the stadium.

Blatter first congratulated Yang Cheng, believing that the Chinese at Bayswater were a model for club management in world football.

FIFA will use the Chinese in Bayswater as an example and hopes that football clubs around the world will learn from this Premier League team.

Yang Cheng vaguely guessed Blatter's intention, and immediately became very "sincere", smiling constantly to express his gratitude.

Anyway, he looks harmless.

But there is one thing: whenever it comes to business matters, Yang Cheng insists that he knows nothing.

Blatt obviously had no way to deal with Yang Cheng's Tai Chi and could only get straight to the point.

"You should be familiar with the International Champions Cup, right?"

As Blatt spoke, his eyes were fixed on Yang Cheng sharply.

"We know that for sure. We have been playing this warm-up match every summer recently."

"But I heard that this event was initiated by you Chinese in Bayswater?" Blatt asked tentatively.

Yang Cheng laughed immediately. "Not really. Didn't we go to the United States to participate in the World Football Challenge in 2009? Charlie Stillitano, you must know about it, right?"

"I've heard of him and met him a few times, but I'm not familiar with him," Blatt replied.

Yang Cheng knows what's going on, he knows you're not familiar with it!
"He has many years of experience in organizing tournaments and has been inviting European teams to the United States to play warm-up matches. But in the summer of 2009, when we went to the United States to play, another American company contacted us, the ICC."

"This company offered higher appearance fees and better treatment. More importantly, they wanted to invite more top teams to play in the United States. As you know, European teams are very interested in developing the North American market, so we hit it off."

The media has previously reported that 12 top football teams all hold shares in ICC.

But the outside world basically has no idea what the exact share ratio is.

"But your cross-continental cup competitions, especially across Europe, North America and Asia, have a very bad impact on football in those continents." Blatter was not interested in arguing with Yang Cheng about the shares.

For him, it doesn't matter how much shares a top club holds.

All football matches around the world are managed by FIFA!
They are all from FIFA!
"In the past two years, football associations in North America and Asia have mentioned this to me many times. They are very dissatisfied with the chaos caused by this event and require FIFA to take action to rectify it."

After hearing this, Yang Cheng laughed again, "You mean the World Football Challenge Cup? That's really a mess. Wasn't it sued by American fans this summer? They said it was fake during the promotion or something."

"But the International Champions Cup is OK. The relationship between fans, sponsors, and national football associations is OK."

After a pause, Yang Cheng didn't wait for Blatt to say anything else, he added another sentence.

"In fact, Charlie Stillitano of the World Soccer Challenge is a troublemaker. Not only did he mess up the market, he also sued the U.S. Soccer Association. Although they lost the case, the U.S. Soccer Association couldn't do anything about him."

"The company went bankrupt before, but now it has been revived and has formed a consortium to acquire Queens Park Rangers."

Yang Cheng's words, as well as all kinds of news, both true and false, made Blatt a little overwhelmed.

FIFA simply does not have the ability to figure out the ICC and the various interest chains behind this company.

To put it bluntly, this is just a makeshift team and all kinds of business are basically outsourced.

If we don’t outsource, how can these big guys get involved?

Do you really think that they all live on the pitiful salary from FIFA?
For example, it is hard not to associate the relationship between Swiss Infront, FIFA and Adidas.

Blatt completely understood what Yang Cheng meant.

Although this guy has a harmless smile on his face, his words actually reveal a meaning. Charlie Stillitano sued the US Soccer Association in the United States. Although he lost, the US Soccer Association did not get any benefits.

What to do in the competition? What to do!
In recent years, the U.S. Soccer Association has watched helplessly as the World Football Challenge and the International Champions Cup have grown in size.

"There are still rules in the football world. As the defender of the rules of world football, FIFA still takes the chaos of summer warm-up matches very seriously. We also hope to regulate this market."

"We should work together to bring better game content to fans around the world. This should be our common pursuit!"

"Of course, of course." Yang Cheng nodded hurriedly.

If you ask Yang Cheng whether he supports it, he definitely supports it!
"By the way, have you talked to the people from ICC?" Yang Cheng asked back.

"We talked about it, but they said they were just a management company, responsible for the running of the tournament, but the shares were in the hands of the 12 clubs."

Yang Cheng nodded immediately and admitted: "Yes, we are one of the 12 giants, but if the other 11 clubs are willing to support us, we will definitely not be left behind!"

The prerequisite is that you have to get the support of the other 11 clubs first!
Bratt's brows suddenly frowned.

It is basically impossible for FIFA to negotiate with the 12 clubs one by one.

Everything Yang Cheng said sounded very cooperative, but in fact, it was against FIFA's throat.

This made Blatt very uncomfortable.

As the "emperor" who has ruled the football world for many years, Blatter really doesn't like being pushed around like this.

"At present, FIFA's attitude is that the summer warm-up market must be rectified and regulated, and all kinds of chaos must be stopped. If the situation cannot be effectively improved and controlled, we will not rule out canceling the qualification of the International Champions Cup to continue to hold the competition!"

Yang Cheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "We Chinese in Bayswater must support FIFA!"

This sentence once again left Blatt speechless.

Why is he so annoying? Why is everything he says so annoying?

But Yang Cheng was laughing in his heart: Damn, who are you trying to scare?

Banned from hosting competitions?

When did FIFA grant the qualification to host the tournament?

How do you cancel something that doesn't exist?
In the final analysis, you just plan to issue a document to ban the International Champions Cup from continuing to be held.

But if you really want to do this, have you, FIFA, considered the consequences?

What qualifications do you have to do this?

If this kind of commercial investment behavior can be banned by a piece of empty text from you, then I would like to ask, what is the meaning of the laws of various countries?
Do you really think that your position in the world is superior?
That was because the big countries didn’t pay much attention to you in the past!

As for the danger of being made difficult for others if he doesn't cooperate, Yang Cheng has never been afraid of that.

If it were UEFA, they might still be a little wary.

But FIFA is shit.

Club World Cup?
I won the Champions League. If I didn’t come to participate in your Club World Cup, you would cry more miserably than I did!

How dare you put on airs in front of me?

As for UEFA, it’s actually no big deal.

Do you really think UEFA and FIFA are a monolithic entity?
Britain’s influence on football is not fake!

Former FA chairman Geoff Thompson resigned as FA chairman in 2007 to join FIFA as vice president.

But his term ended in May 2011.

This is also the reason why Yang Cheng did not see this old acquaintance in the stands just now.

But this does not mean that there is no one in the UK.

Jim Boyce, former chairman of the Northern Ireland Football Association, took over from Geoff Thompson as FIFA vice-president in 2011.

So, Britain also has people in FIFA.

What about UEFA?

In the past few years, it has indeed been relatively weak, but now it is beginning to attract attention.

For example, there was a news report not long ago that David Gill decided to officially resign as CEO of Manchester United in the summer of 2013.

Many people must be wondering, why do you want to quit when you are doing well?

Moreover, David Gill is not retiring from football.

In the FA election in October 2012, David Gill became Vice Chairman of the FA.

He has been a member of the FA's board since 2006.

Before David Gill there was Arsenal's David Dunn, who was a member of the FA's board from 1986 to 2006.

Therefore, in Yang Cheng’s previous life, many fans said that 2006 was a watershed year.

After David Dunn retired in 2006, Arsenal began to be frequently violated by opponents in the game.

And United have been favoured by referees ever since.

Of course, this kind of thing is difficult to explain clearly, after all, the appointment of referees is quite complicated.

The reason why David Gill decided to resign as CEO of Manchester United and was elected as Vice President of the English Football Association this time was very clear, which was to compete in the election of UEFA Vice President in May 2013!

This time, David Gill received full support from the Premier League, the FA and even the British government, and was determined to compete for the position of UEFA vice president.

Once selected, he will also work for FIFA.

So, naturally, he can no longer be distracted by his work as Manchester United CEO.

There are a lot of twists and turns here.

But in the end, the world football today is no longer the era when Blatter can dominate the world with one hand!
Want to incorporate the International Champions Cup?
Neither Blatter nor Platini has such strength!
……

"How about it?"

When Yang Cheng walked out of the box, the FIFA Secretary General, Frenchman Jerome Valcke, who had been paying attention to every move here, immediately walked in and asked with a concerned look on his face.

"This kid is young, but he's a veteran!" Blatt said with an unhappy look on his face.

Just now, Yang Cheng's response could be said to be flawless.

It left Blatter with nothing to find fault with, yet at the same time it was pushed back hard.

What made Blatt most angry was that he had no place to vent his anger and could only swallow it.

"What should we do now?" Valk asked.

Blatter thought about it and said, "Go to the United States someday, take a look at North America first, and then contact the U.S. Soccer Association to test the waters. This is a big piece of fat meat."

"I heard that Nike is also interested in sponsoring this event, and media organizations such as Fox, ESPN, and Al Jazeera have decided to broadcast these games."

"No matter what, we can't hand it over to these clubs to mess around!"

When Blatt finished speaking, his tone became a little fierce.

Since succeeding Brazilian Havelange as FIFA president in 1998, Blatter has sat on the throne of football emperor for a full 14 years.

The past 14 years have also been the fastest 14 years of development in world football, and also the most rapid 14 years of commercialization. FIFA has made a lot of money from various competitions.

But there is only one area that FIFA cannot enter.

That's the club tournament!

As early as 2000, FIFA decided to incorporate the Toyota Cup and host the Club World Cup.

But the first Club World Cup was a joke.

It was not until 2005 that the Club World Cup was restarted and has continued to this day.

But this cup competition does not have much influence.

It can even be said to be small.

On the contrary, the emergence of the International Champions Cup gave FIFA an opportunity.

Perhaps they can take this opportunity to enter the field of club competitions and get a piece of the pie from UEFA.

More importantly, the timing of the International Champions Cup is just too good.

July and August happen to be the window period for leagues in various countries.

For ICC, coordinating the game times of various leagues is very troublesome, or even impossible.

But for FIFA, it is just a matter of notification.

If this event is in the hands of FIFA, it will definitely be made bigger and stronger than it is now!
By then, the commercial value will be immeasurable!

"That ICC company is registered in the United States and has its office in the United States. I'm worried..." Valk was a little worried.

After all, Qatar defeated the United States when bidding for the World Cup, which made Americans very dissatisfied.

"There is nothing to worry about. FIFA is an independent international organization that is not subject to the jurisdiction of any national government or organization!" Blatter was full of confidence.

This is not a tacit understanding, but is supported by laws and regulations.

Why is FIFA's headquarters in Switzerland?
Because Switzerland is a neutral country.

Switzerland also has laws supporting organizations like FIFA, and the Swiss government does not have jurisdiction over such international organizations.

Therefore, over the years, FIFA has always been hailed as an independent entity outside the world system.

"In the world of football, no one can resist FIFA!"

Blatter snorted coldly, "Even if you are an American and enter football, you have to abide by my rules!"

Jerome Valcke agrees.

……

"Where were you just now?"

Yang Cheng went down from the box to the court and found that the players had already returned to the locker room.

When he returned to the locker room, he ran into Adam Crozier at the door.

"Blatter called me over to give me a lecture." Yang Cheng said with a laugh.

The two entered the locker room one after another. Yang Cheng did not go over to meet the players, but pulled Adam Crozier aside to talk and told him to call ICC immediately.

"Just tell them about my meeting with Blatter, tell David Pensel and Richard Masters, and contact the other 11 giants as soon as possible and tell them that the war is about to begin!"

Adam Crozier was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a surge of excitement.

FIFA has finally decided to take action!

That's right, they will not allow such a big piece of fat to fall into the hands of the club.

Whether it is FIFA or UEFA, they are all of the same character.

"On the one hand, we need to unite internally. The 12 clubs need to maintain close cooperation and advance and retreat together. We must not give in easily."

Adam Crozier nodded.

Fortresses are often destroyed from within.

If the 12 clubs fall apart, the International Champions Cup will probably cease to exist.

Of course, from the current perspective, all clubs are still quite determined.

Not to mention the long-standing conflict between the club and FIFA and UEFA.

More than 1 million euros in annual revenue and shares in the copyright of the entire tournament, is this what FIFA and UEFA are willing to give?
As long as the 12 clubs move forward and backward together, no one can easily shake them.

"On the other hand, ICC has begun to spread rumors in the United States that FIFA wants to suppress and rob American companies. It would be best if this could attract the attention of the US government!"

This move is to divert the conflict!

For the US government, losing the right to host the World Cup has made them very angry, but they can't find an opportunity to take action for the time being, so they can only continue to endure it.

But at this time, FIFA actually reached into North America and tried to suppress and rob American companies. This is simply an outrageous grandmother opening the door for an outrageous mother!
Do you really think that our American atomic bombs cannot explode?

The United States has always been the one that cares about others, but there are actually people who dare to cause trouble on America's doorstep?
Tired of living?

"Finally, we will contact the best legal teams in related fields, collect materials and evidence, and prepare to start a lawsuit. As long as FIFA takes action, we will sue in the United States."

“Although FIFA is in Switzerland, the United States has a long-arm jurisdiction law!”

When Yang Cheng said this, he felt a very absurd feeling in his heart.

In his previous life, as a Chinese, he hated the long-arm jurisdiction of the United States very much.

But now, he actually wants to use this to attack his opponent.

But whether it is FIFA or UEFA, Yang Cheng has no psychological burden in dealing with them.

"Will the competition still be held?" Adam Crozier asked with concern.

"Do it, why not do it?"

Yang Cheng asked back confidently.

“We must not only hold it, but also hold it on a grand scale and make it a grand and lively event.”

"If a lawsuit is filed, before the winner is decided, FIFA has only one way to stop us from holding the tournament, and that is to declare the International Champions Cup an illegal event."

"In the name of FIFA, all players registered with FIFA, as well as the continental confederations and national football associations under FIFA, are prohibited from participating in this tournament."

"But this is obviously impossible. At least FIFA won't do such a big thing all at once!"

Everything has a process.

Blatter threw a trump card right at the start. Is he crazy?

In Yang Cheng’s opinion, if it drags on for two years, FIFA and UEFA will be finished!

……

While the Chinese from Bayswater won the 2012 Club World Cup in Japan, the 17th round of the Premier League was in full swing.

Liverpool beat Aston Villa 3-1 at home.

Manchester City beat Newcastle 3-1 away.

Manchester United beat Sunderland 3-1 at home.

Arsenal beat Reading 5-2 away.

Chelsea drew 2-2 with Southampton at home.

The West London derby between Bayswater Chinese and Fulham at home has been postponed to January.

The exact time of the match is yet to be determined, depending on the cup situation of both teams.

But for the Chinese in Bayswater, the next challenge after the Club World Cup is to play away against Arsenal in the League Cup quarter-finals.

This is a one-off match and the match will be held at the Emirates Stadium.

The other three games have all been played, on the Wednesday between the 3th and 16th rounds.

But the Chinese team in Bayswater were playing in the Club World Cup at the time, so it had to be postponed.

But it can only be until the 19th at the latest.

It can't be pushed back any further.

Because the 18th round of the league is on December 12, and then it will be Christmas.

After the devilish Christmas schedule, it’s the FA Cup.

The first leg of the League Cup semi-final is scheduled for January 1.

In other words, this League Cup quarter-final must be completed before Christmas no matter what.

This caused a lot of trouble for the Chinese in Bayswater.

After a long-distance flight of more than ten or twenty hours, coupled with the time difference from Asia to Europe, the entire Bayswater Chinese team had no chance to sleep after returning to London.

After the long journey, the players were very tired.

After resting for one day, they immediately challenged Arsenal away on the evening of the 1th.

There is also a league match on the 22nd.

The final result is predictable.

Bayswater Chinese drew 1-1 with Arsenal away from home.

Walcott scored the first goal for the team in the 16th minute.

But throughout the second half, the Chinese players from Bayswater were beaten by Arsenal.

There's no way, my physical strength just can't keep up.

Finally, in the 88th minute, Vermaelen equalized the score for Arsenal through a free kick.

After that, the two sides entered overtime, and Benzema scored again in the 109th minute.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese unfortunately lost to Arsenal.

The League Cup stopped in the quarterfinals!
……

On the evening of the 19th, after losing to Arsenal in the League Cup, Yang Cheng's team worked non-stop to adjust and recover on the 20th.

On the evening of the 21st, he took a special plane to Newcastle in northern England.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, Yang Cheng's team challenged Newcastle away.

Yang Cheng played with all main lineup in this game.

But in the end, the team's condition was really bad and they missed opportunities frequently.

Whether it was Lewandowski or Gareth Bale, they all performed poorly.

Fortunately, the team's defense was well organized.

But in the 81st minute, the team still lost a goal.

Eventually lost 0-1 to Newcastle away.

This is Bayswater Chinese's first league defeat this season!
Arsenal beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 away.

Manchester City beat Reading 1-0 at home.

Liverpool beat Fulham 4-0 at home.

Manchester United drew 2-1 with Swansea away.

Spanish player Michu scored the equalizer, but Laudrup's team finally lost.

Chelsea beat Aston Villa 2-0 at home.

After 18 rounds of games, Bayswater Chinese has 14 points with a record of 2 wins, 1 draws and 44 loss, continuing to lead the Premier League standings.

But Manchester United, which is in second place, has caught up and has 43 points, ranking second in the Premier League.

The Red Devils are only 1 point behind Bayswater Chinese.

Manchester City is in third place with 41 points, 3 points behind Manchester United and 2 points behind Bayswater Chinese.

Arsenal is in third place with 39 points.

Liverpool has 37 points and Chelsea has 29 points.

Everyone believes that this is the most competitive first half of the Premier League in the past few years.

Judging from the current situation, Bayswater Chinese, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal are all still qualified to challenge for the league championship, and the key depends on the upcoming Christmas schedule.

For Chelsea, the results do not match the lineup.

The media generally believes that the Blues have an excellent lineup, but head coach Di Matteo is no longer qualified to be Chelsea's head coach.

With such an outstanding lineup being brought to this level, if he doesn't leave, who will?

There is news that Chelsea is inviting Real Madrid head coach Mourinho to return to the Premier League!
