"Master Huan, congratulations, congratulations" "I'll toast you, Master Huan."
"Come, Master Huan, let's have a drink."
At the UEFA gathering, Yang Huan completely became the center of attention.
This is not surprising at all.
Who makes the Saints the most dazzling team tonight?
You know, this role is usually held by super giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona, but now, all the roles have been taken away by Southampton.
This has made everyone in European football deeply feel.
Come on, what is meant by the changing of wind and water?
Yang Huan was also in a good mood.
He would toast almost everyone who came to him to clink glasses.
Who told him that he would never get drunk after a thousand cups?
"Master Huan" UEFA president Platini and his right-hand man Gianni Infantino came over.
"Cheers."
Yang Huan laughed and clinked glasses with the two of them before drinking down the glass in one gulp.
The three of them walked out of the crowd tacitly and walked to an empty window.
"How are you having trouble lately?"
Yang Huan asked Platini with concern.
The latter looked solemn and nodded, "The situation is not good for me."
"How can I help you?"
Yang Huan asked.
Platini looked at Gianni Infantino and said, "Gianni will campaign on behalf of UEFA next."
Yang Huan looked at Infantino, nodded and said: "That's good.
I believe that if Gianni comes forward, the possibility of being elected is very high."
"However, we will do our best to clear the air for him."
Yang Huan nodded and said: "That's right.
I believe that with Gianni's resume and ability, if he doesn't expose any flaws and has the full support of UEFA, he has great hope."
Gianni Infantino is a veritable iron man for Platini.
Before Platini had nothing to do, he even shouted that he would withdraw from the race as soon as Platini was fine.
But from the current situation, it seems that Platini will be hard-pressed to survive.
If Infantino, who is being promoted by UEFA at this time, can be successfully elected, then for UEFA and Platini, It can barely be considered a victory.
"If there's anything I can do to help, please contact Peter."
Yang Huan said with a smile.
"Thank you" both Platini and Infantino knew it well.
Peter Kenyon, Yang Huan's number one, is now the CEO of Miracle Football Group.
The European football resources in his hands are quite amazing, and more importantly, they are still developing at an extremely fast speed.
There are even recent signs of taking over the center of power.
More importantly, Peter Kenyon and Platini have a very close personal relationship.
Many people don't know and think that European professional football is as prosperous as they see it on the surface, but they have never thought about what kind of interest entanglements lurk beneath this prosperity.
Over the years, no one has ever doubted why Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich have always been able to recruit superstars.
Is it just because they have money and connections?
One thing must be made clear here first.
The transcendent status of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich in European football and their amazing influence are all based on stars.
It was only after there were stars and achievements that they achieved their current status.
If you don't believe it, look at Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea now, AC Milan in Serie A, and Juventus a few years ago.
As the saying goes, a phoenix that lands on the ground is not as good as a chicken.

When a wealthy team loses its most dazzling star and loses the aura of performance, is it still a wealthy team?
Are heritage, tradition and sentiment useful?
Barcelona's situation is quite special.
The top stars of this team are all products of their own youth training, but this is just a special case.
After the team's youth training has aged, this team has gradually adopted the method of poaching superstars and introducing Neymar, and also wanting to poach Suarez, are enough to prove this point.
Therefore, Yang Huan said from the beginning that talent is the key Then the question arises.
Since talent is so important and top star resources are so scarce, why are they concentrated in the hands of a few teams?
Why don’t other teams dare to poach them when they clearly have money?
As for saying that stars are unwilling to transfer and want to play for wealthy teams, etc., don't be ridiculous.
Making money is the purpose of professional players playing football Staying in a wealthy team has only one purpose, and that is to make more money.
If you want to get personal honors, can you make money?
After retiring, there are many down-and-out stars selling gold medals and trophies.
If Pele hadn't had Nike take a fancy to his commercial value and focus on building him up, he still wouldn't know how poor he would be.
Isn’t the ending of Real Madrid’s former great star Puskas worthy of alarm?
Anyone who talks about relationships, traditions, and sentiments with professional football is talking about bullshit.
In the final analysis, professional football means two words: profit.
If Paris Saint-Germain offers Cristiano Ronaldo twice what he earns in Real Madrid, Yang Huan can guarantee that the Portuguese will leave immediately without saying a word.
Can Paris Saint-Germain afford the money?
No, they have wanted to sell out for a long time, but Real Madrid won't sell, they don't dare to poach, and the players and agents don't dare to go too far.
It's that simple
Well, now, the answer is ready to come out.
The reason why they can control so many stars is because they have the largest say in European football, at least in the club category.
There may be many senior fans who remember an organization, g14.
Although the name is g14, there are actually eighteen teams because it was later expanded.
This organization represents the highest voice of European professional football clubs.
They are like the top of the pyramid.
If you want to join this organization, you must win a Champions League and must be voted by the members of the organization.
Have you noticed that this looks a bit like when China was about to join the WTO?
Peter Kenyon was the founder of this organization when he was at Manchester United, and later served as the rotating chairman of this organization.
The reason why Abramovich selected Peter Kenyon was because of his connections at the top level of European football, so he did everything possible to poach him from Manchester United to Chelsea.
The purpose is simple.
Chelsea wants to be recognized by this group of wealthy teams at the top of the pyramid and integrate into it.
But facts proved that Chelsea failed.
However, Peter Kenyon relied on his connections in European football to take another path.
That is to defect to the newly appointed UEFA president, Platini, who came to power with the votes of many small national football associations.
The latter wanted to fulfill his campaign promise, so he had to weaken the interests of the wealthy teams.
At that time, Platini's approach was to win over a group of players, including Chelsea, who had good strength and influence but were excluded from G14.
European teams.
At the same time, Platini is also dividing the G14 organization and has given many commitments and policies, such as subsidizing clubs for national team competitions, reforming the Champions League quotas and qualifications for the five major leagues, etc.
Everyone knows the final result.
G14 split internally and announced its disbandment.
But what many people don't know is that at the same time that G14 announced its dissolution, a brand new organization called the European Club Association, as the only official organization recognized by UEFA and FIFA, announced its birth.
From the day this organization was born, until now, there has always been only one chairman of the executive committee representing the highest power.
Rummenigge of Bayern Munich and Peter Kenyon of Chelsea are the first three vice-chairmen. one.
If we use conspiracy theory, in 2008, the European Club Association was established.

Bayern Munich was one of the 16 founding clubs, and Rummenigge served as the chairman of the executive committee.
So, when did Bayern Munich start to keep pace with Real Madrid and Barcelona?
Of course, player transfers are a great test of the club's ability to select talents, but in European football, in an era of such transparent information technology, this is no longer the most important thing.
The most important thing is to buy people Just like this time, Bayern Munich wants to buy Douglas Costa and Kingsley Coman from Hamburg, but Hamburg won't sell them, so what can Bayern Munich do?
They can do nothing but poach Firmino and Draxler.
In recent years, with the influx of foreign capital, Premier League teams have acquired a number of established teams, including Peter Kenyon and Arsenal's David Dunn, as well as Manchester United's David Gill.
Football's well-connected talent is slowly exiting, replaced by professional managers like Ed Woodward and Gazidis.
Chelsea first fired Peter Kenyon and then fired Ron Gurley, replacing him with Granovskia, who didn't have many connections at all.
This has greatly weakened the voice of the Premier League as the core center of European football.
The European Club Association divides its internal members into two major groups, namely formal members and informal members.
The former has voting rights, while the latter does not.
It feels more like a reserve team.
Responsible for the daily operations and affairs of the European Club Association is an executive committee composed of fifteen teams.
The Premier League also has a very special existence in the European Club Association.
There are a total of six official member teams, which has exceeded the regulations of the European Club Association.
The six teams are Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Among them, Arsenal's Gazidis is also a member of the European Club Association's executive committee, but he serves as a legal advisor.
There are also three informal members, namely Aston Villa, Everton and Newcastle.
Interestingly, Southampton are not even informal members now.
Previously, many people suggested that the Saints apply to join the European Club Association, start as informal members, and then look for opportunities to become regular members.
But Yang Huan's attitude is very clear, not surprising Isn't it?
What’s so great about becoming an informal member?
The European Club Association covers more than two hundred European clubs, only half of which are formal members, and the rest are informal.
In the words of our young master Huan, this group of informal members should set up an organization of their own, called the Spare Tire Alliance .
When will I become a regular employee?
It doesn’t have to depend on the faces of the male gods.
The crux of the problem is that they only have the right to observe, not to mention the right to vote, and they don’t even have the right to speak, so it’s useless to participate.
Besides, will it have any impact on the Saints whether or not we participate in this kind of organization?
With Master Huan’s connections in European football, what kind of losses are there to be afraid of?
Oh, by the way, it seems that it is time for the European Club Association to change its term again.
The president and 11 members of the 15th Executive Committee will all hold general elections in the near future.
It seems that it is lively again.
Not to mention, as soon as Cao Cao is mentioned, Cao Cao is here.
As soon as Master Huan mentioned the European Club Association, the chairman, Rummenigge, was watching from the side, and it seemed that he would come closer as soon as he got the opportunity.
Platini and Infantino also noticed him, so they apologized and left.
As soon as the two of them left, Rummenigge immediately came up to him.
Master Huan felt happy, hehe, you finally found it yourself.
I have been waiting for you for a long time:
