I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 320 Yang Cheng's counterattack! Platini's sniper battle! The top three of the Ballon d'Or! A big earthquake in the football world! [Subscribe]

In Frankfurt, when people mention Sachsenhausen, they will think of Goethe, the Roman Forum, the grand museums, and the old buildings full of historical charm.

Well, maybe some people still remember the red-light district at the old train station.

But when it comes to Westend, the adjectives that immediately pop up in everyone's mind must be high-end and modern.

Wolfgang Stubing has always lived in Westend.

Although Sachsenhausen was easily accessible on foot, he rarely went there.

It’s not that he doesn’t like this old town, but he prefers standing at the top of Frankfurt’s skyline, overlooking the gorgeous Main River and the entire city under the night sky.

At this moment, the two people sitting opposite him were almost the same as him.

66-year-old Heribert Bruchgen was once a professional player, but he didn't achieve much.

After retiring, he did a good job as a head coach.

Especially in the 04s, he was the head coach of Schalke , Hamburg and Bielefeld.

In 2001 he joined the German Football Association as CEO.

This is quite a big change in identity.

Since he was mainly responsible for competitive affairs, his contribution was to promote youth training reform in German football.

But just as the project was launched, he was poached by Frankfurt on December 2003, 12.

His positions are Chairman of the Board and Director of Sports.

It can be said that one person took charge of all the competitive affairs.

During this period, he also served as a member of the board of directors of the German Football League and the German Football Association.

There is really no need to be surprised by this, because Frankfurt has always been so special.

The club's headquarters, stadium and training ground are only more than 1 kilometer away from the Football Association headquarters and the national team training center. Just think about it and you can understand the uniqueness of this.

All in all, in one sentence, Herbert Bruchgen has an extraordinary influence in German football.

The other is a 47-year-old German middle-aged man named Oliver Frankenbach.

This is a veteran employee of Frankfurt.

On January 1998, 1, he joined Frankfurt AG as manager of the financial department.

Due to his outstanding work ability, he was promoted to head of the finance and human resources departments, as well as head of the marketing department in 2001.

One person performs two key functions.

On June 2007, 6, he officially took office as CEO of Frankfurt AG.

Here, it is necessary to sort out the current management model of Frankfurt Football Club.

First of all, Frankfurt is a membership-based football club.

But at the same time, the club established Frankfurt Football AG.

Currently the company has three major shareholders, namely Frankfurt eV, which is wholly owned by Frankfurt Club and currently holds 68% of the shares.

The other is Friends of Frankfurt, a company established by an organization similar to the Frankfurt Fan Club, which holds a 28.5% stake.

Another company is Wolfgang Stubing's Stubing AG, which holds a 3.5% stake.

Wolfgang Stubing acquired the shares in 2010 by purchasing 10 shares of Frankfurt.

It was with these shares that he entered the Supervisory Board in Frankfurt.

This is a special management model belonging to German football clubs.

Frankfurt AG is fully responsible for all business activities of the club. The shareholders set up a supervisory board to oversee the business activities of the company and the board of directors, but they do not have actual management rights.

Frankfurt AG established a board of directors to be responsible for all business activities of the company and the club.

Wolfgang Stubing is one of the nine members of the Supervisory Board, and Bruchgen and Frankenbach are both bigwigs on the board.

And at this moment, they are sitting in a private box at the top of the Frankfurt Westend skyline, having dinner together.

……

"Have you seen the news? Things have changed in Palmeiras, Brazil!"

There was a round table with three people sitting in a triangle. Wolfgang Stubing looked directly at the two people in front of him and spoke lightly.

"The whole world is reporting on it. Overnight, the company went from a membership system to a joint-stock system and then was fully acquired. This is a really big step!" Bruchgen also expressed his emotion.

Whenever he sees such news, he feels sad that he is already 66 years old and can no longer keep up with the pace of the times.

"Yang Cheng is indeed very powerful, and the group of elite soldiers under his command are indeed very tough and have strong combat effectiveness." Frankenbach also sighed softly.

"Didn't our professional league organize a discussion for us last time? Their office is located in the core SOHO district of London. The whole office atmosphere is similar to those of multinational companies in London. It is very efficient."

"Here, the interpersonal relationships are so complicated that it's really hard to get anything done!"

At the end of his speech, Frankenbach picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and kept shaking his head.

"People outside who don't know us always praise us, saying that we are financially healthy and that we have the most reasonable and best system, which not only maintains the social attributes of the membership system, but also eliminates the various drawbacks of the membership system, while also having the advantages of the shareholding system."

"But only those of us know best. We do have the advantages of a membership system and a shareholding system, but we also have the disadvantages of both. They are just hidden deeper and more secretly."

Stubin, who was sitting opposite, heard the CEO's complaints, laughed, stood up, picked up the wine in front of him, walked over and poured him a glass, "Each has its own disadvantages. Do you think there is no problem with Yang Cheng being the boss?"

"Now, Yang Cheng is indeed very courageous and capable, and has accomplished a lot, but what about the future? Will his successor be able to be like him? What if someone with less ability takes over?"

"If you ask me, the only thing that never changes in this world is that it is always changing, and we have to actively seek change!"

"Of course, change is always accompanied by risks. Some people choose to change and take risks, while others refuse to change and avoid risks."

"There is no absolute right or wrong in everything!"

Both Bruchgen and Frankenbach nodded in unison.

This is a very clear statement.

"But our problem with Frankfurt now is that it has reached a point where it must proactively seek change, otherwise it will really die!"

As soon as Stubin finished speaking, the two people opposite him fell silent.

If this news gets out, the media and fans will definitely scold Stubin to death.

Frankfurt is alive and well and ranks well in the Bundesliga, so how could it die?

But these two won't.

After hearing this, Frankenbach picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one breath.

"Peter told me a few days ago," Bruchgen also spoke at this time, "that he is trying to find some money to help the team get through the current difficulties. He plans to sell 5% of the shares, which will come from the club."

The so-called selling shares is just a nicer way of putting it.

In fact, the club has no money and is looking for someone to invest.

"Didn't he just curse Hoffenheim, Wolfsburg and Leverkusen in the media? Now he wants to sell his shares again?" Stubin asked with some amusement.

In today's Germany, there are four special professional teams that do not comply with the 50+1 policy.

That is Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig, Wolfsburg and Leverkusen.

This has always been the target of criticism from other Bundesliga teams.

Why are they special?
"I have discussed this with many people in the professional league. In fact, they also want to promote some changes, but all clubs are influenced by the opinions of the fans. If you want to change, the fans can vote you out."

"No one dares to open the conversation, everyone is trying to cover up the truth!"

"Fans all think that we are financially healthy. Although we are not developing fast, we are not controlled by capital. Our tickets are cheap and our club has no debt. But..."

"They didn't open their eyes to see that in the 13/14 Premier League season, all 20 teams made a profit!"

"Their financial situation has been improving over the years."

"And what about us?"

Although Bruchgen is not young, people who are familiar with him know that he has always been a very outspoken person.

"I won't talk about the situation in other clubs. Look at the people in our club. Among the 100 or so employees, how many of them are actually doing work? Are half of them here not because of connections but because of their abilities?"

"Philip Reschke, he's a lawyer, he joined the company in 2001, he joined the marketing department."

"Why was he able to come in? Because his father, Hans Hermann Reschke, was formerly the chief financial officer of the Deutsche Bahn and is now a partner in a Frankfurt bank!"

"Two years after Philipp Reschke joined the company, his father also became a member of our club's supervisory board, and we got a loan from Frankfurt Bank!"

When Bruchgen said this, he spread his hands.

"How many people like him are there in our company? Have you counted them?"

Hearing this question, Frankenbach, as the head of the marketing department, also felt his own grievances.

Can he refuse the person assigned by his superiors?

If rejected, how to get a loan?
What should we do if we don’t have loans and can’t pay the salaries of players and employees?
"You know what? We are in the most modern financial center in Germany. We are full of companies, multinational companies and brands. As a result, the revenue of our business sector is terrible."

"Our club's annual revenue is only 8 million euros, and what about our salary expenses? The sports department came to me to ask for transfer budget, what should I give?"

There are only about 100 employees. Excluding those who work in venue maintenance, coaching staff, and various other staff, as well as those who have connections and those who take the salary but do nothing, how many people are left who can really do the work?

What projects can these people promote?
Why has Frankfurt's youth training system always been so bad?
It’s simple, there is no one and no money!

"This is not just our situation in Frankfurt. The chairman of the professional league has lost his temper in front of me many times and scolded the operators of these clubs, but is it useful? It's useless. Almost all clubs don't want to change!"

"If they change, how will they make a living?" Bruchgen hit the nail on the head.

Wolfgang Stubing was obviously fully aware of all the circumstances.

In fact, all the bigwigs who enter the supervisory board are either rich or powerful, and everyone is aware of the situation in Frankfurt.

But no one will come out and say anything.

Because all they want is this platform and the network of relationships built using this platform.

As for whether this platform develops well or not, is it important to them?

On the contrary, poor development is actually a good thing for them, isn't it?
"What I am most worried about now is a trend, a trend from the Board of Supervisors downwards," Stubin said solemnly.

Bruchgen and Frankenbach both looked over.

"Peter Fischer has always wanted to get into politics and has always been very close to the opposition parties. In particular, he even invited former mayor Achim van der Reck to join the Supervisory Board. He has also repeatedly made some obviously biased political remarks outside."

“This is very dangerous and very scary!”

Stubin's words made both people present silent.

This issue is very sensitive, but everyone sitting in their position can basically see it.

In Germany, football has a very strong social attribute.

So, Chancellor Merkel often goes to watch football games.

It would be dangerous for Peter Fischer to use the Frankfurt club platform to speak for the opposition.

"I made a decision!"

Wolfgang Stubing rose from his chair.

"I will run for the chairman of the supervisory board in 2015. At the same time, I will have discussions with the professional league and the Football Association. If I am elected, I will do my best to push Frankfurt to continue to deepen its reforms."

"The 50+1 policy is no longer in line with the current development trend of European football. It will definitely change and will be gradually relaxed."

"For example, we can change the continuous investment from 20 years to 10 years, or even 5 years, to attract long-term capital, limit the proportion of salary expenditure, force investment in youth training, etc. Relax with the left hand and restrict with the right hand. This is the future!"

“I hope to introduce an efficient and professional team like Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese, and replicate their best resources and most professional system in Frankfurt!”

"I believe that we can create a strong team in Frankfurt that can compete with Bayern Munich!"

Wolfgang Stubing was so excited at the end of his speech.

He just celebrated his 65th birthday.

He has lived in this city all his life and has watched Frankfurt football all his life.

But he supports reform!

Because he firmly believes that this will make Frankfurt better and stronger!

……

On the afternoon of November 11, the Premier League ushered in the 22th round of matches.

Chelsea beat West Bromwich Albion 11-1 at home thanks to Diego Costa's goal in the 0th minute.

Although the Baggies' midfielder Jacob received a red card in the 29th minute of the first half, Chelsea failed to score again in the following hour.

Manchester City conceded a goal at home but then reversed the score to 2-1 against Swansea City thanks to goals from Messi and Yaya Toure.

Arsenal lost 0-1 to Manchester United at home.

The Red Devils defeated Arsenal away from home thanks to Rooney's goal in the 85th minute.

But Liverpool lost 1-3 to Crystal Palace away.

Yang Cheng made rotations in this round's away game against Newcastle.

All the players who played in both national team games and the South American internationals did not appear in the game.

Gareth Bale scored the first goal for the team in the first half.

But in the 79th minute of the second half, Moussa Sissoko equalized for Newcastle.

In the end, the two teams shook hands and made peace with a 1-1 draw!
Bayswater Chinese's winning streak ended at 11 games, but they entered a 12-game unbeaten streak.

……

Three days later, the fifth round of the Champions League group stage.

Bayswater Chinese will host Leverkusen at home.

This is a very crucial game for pharmaceutical companies.

But for Bayswater Chinese, the team had already advanced in advance, so Yang Cheng made a major rotation.

As a result, no one expected that just 9 minutes into the game, the Chinese in Bayswater launched a quick counterattack. Kyle Walker dribbled the ball on the right, instigated a counterattack, and then made a wonderful pass.

Walcott scored the first goal for Bayswater Chinese!

This goal completely broke the deadlock on the field!

Leverkusen launched a crazy counterattack.

But in the 38th minute, Sterling made a wonderful pass from the left, and Giroud in the middle scored in front of the goal.

2 is better than 0!

In the second half, Aaron Ramsey intercepted the ball in the midfield and made a straight pass to Giroud who successfully made an offside move and scored.

3 is better than 0!

The French center forward scored twice.

Just three minutes later, De Bruyne took a corner kick in the frontcourt, and Giroud scored with a header, completing a hat trick.

4 is better than 0!

Yang Cheng himself was very surprised.

He really didn't expect that Leverkusen would attack so fiercely.

It even reached the point where he completely ignored the defense behind him.

In another match, Juventus defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0 away.

The situation of this group has become basically clear.

But what really sparked public opinion was that UEFA President Platini publicly stated in an interview with Spain's EFE that he did not support Gareth Bale winning the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

why?
"I stated my stance four years ago before the FIFA awards ceremony and I still hold the same view today."

"In the year of the World Cup and the European Cup, the highest honor award should be given to a World Cup champion!"

"So, four years ago, I supported the Spanish players to win the award, and now, I support Germany!"

Platini's remarks soon caused a huge response in European football and even in world football.

As such a powerful UEFA president, he publicly expressed his preference for the Ballon d'Or winner, which was obviously intended to guide the vote.

Obviously, the criticism is directed directly at Gareth Bale.

The reason is simple. Gareth Bale is from Wales and has never even stepped into the World Cup.

According to Platini's standards, he was not even qualified to be in the top three, let alone win the award.

The British media quickly responded to Platini's remarks.

"We don't remember whether he said this four years ago, but we certainly remember that in the World Cup year four years ago, UEFA's Club Footballer of the Year was not given to Spain."

What this means is, why are you making a fuss now about something that UEFA didn't do four years ago?

The German media quickly responded and supported Platini's remarks.

The media of both countries started a public opinion war for their players.

……

This weekend, the 13th round of the Premier League.

Arsenal beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0 away at home thanks to Benzema's goal.

Liverpool beat Stoke City 1-0 thanks to a goal from Glen Johnson.

Manchester United beat Hull City 3-0 at home thanks to goals from Smalling, Rooney and Cavani.

Bayswater Chinese FC reversed Leicester City 4-3 at home, despite conceding the ball in just 1 minutes, thanks to goals from Van Dijk, Hazard and Gareth Bale.

Among them, Gareth Bale also contributed an assist for the second goal.

In this round, Chelsea drew 0-0 with Sunderland away from home.

But Manchester City beat Southampton 3-0 away.

After the Bayswater Chinese defeated Leicester City 3-1, a media reporter asked Yang Cheng at the press conference about Platini's support for the German to win the Ballon d'Or. Yang Cheng smiled and asked, "Is he supporting Toni Kroos?"

Everyone at the scene burst into laughter.

"I believe Platini was once a very good legendary star and he has his own understanding and views on football, but to be honest, I think that as the president of UEFA, he should not make any public comments about the Ballon d'Or now."

“This is not right and it is not moral!”

There was an uproar at the scene.

Yang Cheng’s counterattack was fierce.

Not true, there is nothing to say about this.

The key is immorality.

What do you mean?
This is a serious accusation.

Is this suggesting that Platini is deliberately targeting the Chinese in Bayswater?

If so, does that mean that the two of them are really going to fall out?
When the media reporter asked Yang Cheng on the spot whether everyone's understanding was wrong, Yang Cheng smiled and said, "That's what I said. How you understand it is up to you."

This is already a very obvious hint.

Yang Cheng fought back!
But what really surprised everyone was that after Yang Cheng's counterattack, Bayswater Chinese also quickly published a public statement on its official website and major social platforms, clearly expressing its dissatisfaction with Platini. In this statement, Bayswater Chinese said that the list of the top three players for the FIFA Ballon d'Or will be announced soon, and before the announcement, Platini, as the president of UEFA, made such a public statement, and Bayswater Chinese asked Platini to explain.

"Although he has repeatedly stressed that this is his personal preference, as the president of UEFA, is he standing in an impartial position and expressing such an opinion? Will this have an impact on the subsequent results?"

The Chinese in Bayswater said that the FIFA Ballon d'Or is an individual award given to the best player in the world, and whether it is given to Gareth Bale or a German player, the first thing to consider is the player's performance.

"Everyone who votes should carefully consider the individual performances and achievements of the players. Every vote they cast has a bearing on the reputation of the Ballon d'Or."

The trouble for Bayswater Chinese is that whether it is given to Gareth Bale or Toni Kroos, they are all players of Bayswater Chinese.

But as the champion team, Germany's captain is Lahm.

According to convention, it is very likely that a situation will occur like in 2006 when Cannavaro received the Ballon d'Or on behalf of the whole of Italy.

This is what the Chinese in Bayswater least want to see!

Therefore, in the statement, the Bayswater Chinese listed the performances and achievements of Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos in the past year.

"They all deserve the Ballon d'Or!"

The public relations department of the Bayswater Chinese also immediately went into full force.

Whether on the Internet, in print media or on television, they have launched an all-out war of public opinion to build momentum for their two players.

After Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater chose to fight back, the British media also opened fire with all their might!
This surprised the entire European football world, as well as the media and fans around the world.

They had never seen the Chinese in Bayswater as strong as they were now.

But it was precisely at this moment that they truly realized that the Chinese in Bayswater were not without strength or influence, but that they had been too low-key before!

This is the football club with the highest revenue in the world!
Not only did Yang Cheng and the team publicly fight back, but the players of Bayswater Chinese also came forward.

Captain Modric said in an interview with the media, "Whether the Golden Ball is awarded to Gareth Bale or Toni Kroos, they are well deserved."

"But if it wasn't for both of them, it would be a scandal!"

Striker Walcott fully supports his best friend Gareth Bale.

"If other players win the Ballon d'Or, they should be ashamed because Gareth Bale has produced a record that everyone looks up to in the past year!"

Thiago Silva also publicly stated that there is almost no suspense about the Ballon d'Or.

"If you look at club results and performances, it's Gareth Bale. If you look at World Cup performances, it's Toni Kroos."

"Besides these two, no one else is qualified to receive this award."

But many players chose to stay out of the spotlight for the time being.

For example, Pepe.

Another favorite to win the Ballon d'Or is Cristiano Ronaldo, who is Pepe's good friend in the national team.

So, no matter what, Pepe is very sensitive.

What surprised everyone was that many German players, except for Bayern players, basically chose to remain neutral.

But Bayern players felt that Germany played team football, so captain Lahm should represent the team to receive the award.

Or Neuer, the goalkeeper who shined at the World Cup.

What this means is that it has nothing to do with you, Toni Kroos.

As the parties involved, Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos accepted the advice of the club's public relations department and did not say a word to the public.

All public opinions are blocked by the club!

The British Times publicly stated, "For the sake of their players, the Bayswater Chinese chose to declare war on UEFA President Platini!"

Among the many public opinions, there is actually an unexpected voice.

Bayern's superstar Ribery did not publicly indicate who he supports when interviewed by media reporters.

But he criticized Platini's remarks.

"In fact, I have learned a lot from the past few Golden Globe Awards ceremonies."

"When I arrived on the scene, I told my wife I had no chance at all!"

"It turns out that I was right!"

Ribery believes that there are many excellent players who deserve the Ballon d'Or, such as Gareth Bale, Toni Kroos, Lahm, or Neuer, who are all fully qualified.

"But I don't think Platini should speak out."

"He knew very well what it meant when he said this, but he still chose to say it."

"This is a very bad thing. He makes the Ballon d'Or full of politics!"

However, facing the accusations and questions from the Chinese in Bayswater and the public opinion of the British media, Platini did not respond.

……

Three days later in the midweek, the 14th round of the Premier League arrived.

Liverpool beat Leicester City 3-1 away.

Manchester United beat Stoke City 2-1 at home.

Arsenal beat Southampton 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Alexis Sanchez.

Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at home.

Manchester City reversed Sunderland 4-1 away from home thanks to Messi's two shots and one assist.

Obviously, with the Ballon d'Or announcement imminent, Messi is under a bit of pressure.

Bayswater Chinese beat Swansea 2-0 away from home.

The two goals came in the 78th and 83rd minutes respectively.

Gareth Bale made one assist and one goal, and the other goal came from Toni Kroos.

Interestingly, the assist for Gareth Bale's goal also came from Toni Kroos.

This caused heated discussions among media and fans around the world right after the game.

When everyone thought that these two were competitors for the Golden Ball, they assisted each other in the game.

After scoring the goal, the two rushed to the sidelines to celebrate at the same time, which became a topic praised by countless media and fans.

Many people even believed that the reason why the Chinese players in Bayswater waited until the 78th minute to score a goal was to create a scene where the two players assisted each other.

After the game in the afternoon, that evening FIFA announced the final three names for the 2014 Ballon d'Or on its official website, as well as the game highlights of the three players.

They are Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid!
Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos from Bayswater Chinese!
For a moment, the entire public opinion exploded!
The British media in particular were celebrating like it was a holiday!
Platini lost!

The "conspiracy" of the high-ranking UEFA President failed!
"The domineering counterattack from the Chinese in Bayswater completely thwarted Platini's plot!"

However, UEFA officials still refused to make any response to this matter.

……

When FIFA's final three-man list was released, everyone in the Chinese team at Bayswater breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the final result has not yet come out, Ronaldo has a good chance of being elected.

After all, he also won the La Liga and King's Cup double, and was also the top scorer in both La Liga and the Champions League.

But for the Bayswater Chinese, having two players in the top three is a victory in itself.

What’s more important is that this sniper attack on Platini was very successful.

The most important thing is this guy Platini, who showed up for no reason and became the scapegoat.

In fact, Yang Cheng also felt very strange. Why did he do this?
But the day after FIFA's three-man list came out, Adam Crozier gave him the answer.

"This was not what he had planned in advance. The EFE reporter just asked casually, and he might have even planned that Platini would answer with official rhetoric."

"But I didn't expect him to say that."

"The reason is simply because he really wants to please the Spanish through EFE, and by the way, please the Germans as well."

When Yang Cheng heard this reason, he couldn't believe it.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

Yang Cheng thought about it carefully. Platini's original words were to show his support for Spain by talking about what happened in 2010, while also trying to please the Germans.

It is indeed possible.

"but why?"

"There's no reason. It was purely his own improvisation."

The word "winging it" is a great use of the word.

Whether it was Yang Cheng, Frick, Brian Kidd and others, they all burst out laughing.

As a No. 10 attacking midfielder, Platini does have the artistic talent to perform on the spot.

"And what's the funniest thing about this matter? Guess what."

Of course Yang Cheng and others couldn't guess it.

"Within UEFA itself, things are in chaos."

"What do you mean?" Yang Cheng was in a gossipy mood at this time.

"At first, they didn't think it was a big deal. Platini often said the wrong things. He just liked to do this kind of thing. Sometimes he said something unreliable at the last minute, and the PR department often had to clean up his mess."

Yang Cheng understood this.

In fact, some European politicians, of course, the UEFA president can also be considered politicians to some extent.

They are all good at talking and often have to speak out.

If you talk too much, you will inevitably make mistakes.

Therefore, for them, saying the wrong thing is the norm, and swallowing one's pride is the most basic quality of a politician.

If you don't have the ability to swallow your pride, how dare you run for election?
"But this time it's different. Everyone knows that Platini wanted to please the fans in Spain and Germany, so the public opinion was good at the beginning, the media did not make any big moves, and UEFA's public relations department chose not to take any action."

"Why? It's not my fault. It's always like this. You fart outside and come back to ask us to clean your ass? You feel good, but what about us? Have you ever considered our feelings?"

Adam Crozier reproduced the emotions of those people in UEFA's public relations department so vividly that Yang Cheng and others all laughed.

"Later, public opinion arose, we started to fight back, and the British media also came out in full force, and the situation escalated."

"It is said, and I am purely saying, that Platini called Infantino and the head of the PR department to his office and gave them a nasty scolding, basically saying, how the hell did you clean up your ass this time?"

"The PR department feels wronged too. You caused this trouble yourself, and now you blame us?"

"Good fellow, this time they just gave up and asked Platini, tell me, how do you respond?"

"Guess what Platini said?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Platini said, if I knew, I would have played on my own a long time ago, why did I have to wait until now?"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard it.

It turns out that the UEFA president was anxious for a long time and couldn't help but get angry.

Live it!

"The trouble is that Platini and UEFA both know they are in the wrong. You are asking for trouble by saying this at this time for no reason."

"Finally, the PR department suggested that we just ignore the issue and wait for this wave of public opinion to pass."

"If I come out to respond at this time and misjudge public opinion and say something wrong, it will really add fuel to the fire."

"So, we have the situation we have seen. The entire UEFA is hiding. No one has appeared in public for several days. They are afraid that they will be asked about this matter and Platini will be pushed out to take the blame."

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter.

Who could have thought that the whole thing, from beginning to end, was just something Platini said casually because of his quick words and some little calculations in his mind?

This is how UEFA's authority is being weakened bit by bit.

"Just today, a very strange thing happened in Spain," Adam Crozier said with a smile.

Everyone immediately asked questions.

Now it's gossip time after the training session.

"Barca president Bartomeu wrote a letter to FIFA president Sepp Blatter."

"Love letter?" Frick showed a unique German sense of humor at this time.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Damn, is this melon ripe?

"In the letter, Bartomeu told Blatter in a righteous manner, strongly expressing his dissatisfaction with FIFA's transfer ban, and also emphasized that Barcelona will not change the working model of La Masia."

Barcelona's transfer ban comes from the cross-continental transfers of more than a dozen young players in their team. They failed to report to FIFA in a timely manner, and after being reminded by FIFA many times, they still refused to provide materials.

So he was banned from transferring.

"In the letter, Bartomeu also stated that Barcelona will not send a representative to attend the FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony on January 1."

After hearing this, everyone was stunned again.

Adam Crozier saw that everyone obviously didn't get the point, so he pointed it out immediately.

"The letter was made public today, but it was sent out and given to FIFA before FIFA announced the three-man list, and no one from Barcelona made it into the top three this time."

"Messi is at Manchester City!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Bartomeu is just asking for trouble.

You didn’t even make it into the top three, so who cares whether you go or not?

Sometimes, Yang Cheng really feels that these selected guys are more unreliable than each other.

Each one more shameless than the other!

Anyone with any shame wouldn’t be able to choose!

"Tell the PR department that the propaganda war must continue. Not only should they build momentum for our players, but Platini should also be given a punch from time to time to make him suffer a little and stop playing those little tricks in front of us in the future."

Yang Cheng really doesn't have much fear of Platini.

Even if Platini stood in front of him now, he would dare to scold him to his face.

Why?

Because his grades are good enough!

Because truth is on his side!
Perhaps, the public opinion field is not a place where reason can be used.

But if you are strong and powerful enough, then everyone will have to reason with you.

That's what Platini did this time.

Yang Cheng had no intention of letting him go so easily.

Even if we can't get rid of him, we must teach him a lesson and make him remember that the Chinese in Bayswater are not easy to mess with.

Isn’t it just about asking the media to publish a report every few days?

This is no big deal for the Chinese in Bayswater!
Adam Crozier doesn't even need to show up; the head of the public relations department can coordinate and get it done.

"We pull Platini out and whip him every two or three days to make him unhappy, which is good," Adam Crozer said with a smile.

This brings us to the disadvantage of having a wealthy opponent!

It's not to bring you down, it's just to disgust you and make you unhappy.

Spend some money, I don't care!

But Yang Cheng actually had another idea.

He wants to use this incident as a hook to hook Platini.

It is now June 14.

At the upcoming Club World Cup in Morocco, a "big earthquake" is about to happen that perhaps no one would have thought of at the moment.

Before the Club World Cup, FIFA's 25 executive committee members will gather in Marrakech, Morocco.

This is routine and the norm.

Because the Club World Cup is the last major event in 2014, and then it will be Christmas.

It is rare that so many people are present, so FIFA will convene an executive committee to discuss matters concerning 2015.

In Yang Cheng's previous life, Michael Garcia, an American lawyer with an FBI background, had completed an investigative report on the World Cup bid at the end of September.

But this matter has been suppressed by Blatter.

The British media has also been pushing this matter.

Because of the 2018 World Cup, Britain is a victim.

In November not long ago, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee released a 11-page simplified version.

But the entire report is 430 pages long.

Why only so little information is released?
Everyone knows the reason.

And in Marrakech, many people, including Platini, will put pressure on Blatter.

Of course, don't think that Platini is fair and honest and will not tolerate any injustice.

wrong!

His goal is to make Blatter compromise and not run for re-election.

Once Blatter leaves, Platini will have the opportunity to take the stage.

This is a dog-eat-dog situation between the two.

No one is good!

Yang Cheng now wants to use this incident as a hook to hook Platini. When the critical moment comes, as long as he gets the chance, he will give Platini a fatal blow!
This time he is the victim, and next time he stands up and fights back, no one can say anything to him.

The key is how to hit the target with one strike!
The biggest advantage Yang Cheng has right now is that everyone, including FIFA, Blatter and Platini, and even all the media and fans, thinks that this is an internal matter of FIFA and UEFA, that is, football.

But only Yang Cheng knew that Michael Garcia had an FBI background and that the United States had been secretly planning retaliation, even arresting the presidents of the Central and North American Football Associations.

They are just waiting for an opportunity to completely overthrow FIFA!
This should be the only time in Yang Cheng III's life that he expressed recognition and support for the United States' identity as the world police.

But Yang Cheng did not tell anyone about this, including Xia Qing.

He had just been observing this matter secretly, waiting for an opportunity.

This time Platini took the initiative to pick him out and the distance was quite close, which gave Yang Cheng a chance to participate.

That's why he let Adam Croser take this opportunity to create some trouble for Platini.

It would be best to find some negative information about him first, and then we can deal with him together.

This drama has just begun!
