"Hello, Carl" "Hello, Master Huan" After the two met at the window, they drank a toast politely.
Rummenigge just saw Yang Huan chatting animatedly with Platini and Infantino.
Although the whole world seems to be eager to skin Platini and Blatter and cook them, in fact, unlike Blatter who betrayed everyone at FIFA, Platini still has great authority in UEFA. of.
This Frenchman is not a simple man.
In the past few years, he has managed UEFA like a rock.
Not long ago, there was a proposal to suspend Platini as UEFA president and let the first vice president and Spanish Football Federation president Bilal temporarily take over.
But what happened?
There was no sound at all, even the person who made the suggestion was silent.
Everyone knows that even if Platini cannot come forward to campaign this time, his confidant Infantino will be the same.
Therefore, Rummenigge knew that if he guessed correctly, they should have been discussing Infantino's candidacy for FIFA president just now.
And everyone knows that Master Huan has a huge influence in today's international football.
"Master Huan, to be honest, I really admire you," Rummenigge said with a smile.
Yang Huan couldn't tell the truth from the false, so she smiled, "Really?
Why?"
“In just a few years, it’s incredible to be able to operate like this.”
After hearing this, Yang Huan curled his lips and wanted to say, of course, I am a time traveler.
You two are fighting for high-quality star talent, and you are fighting for it.
But in the past four years, I have known where to dig out the players I want every minute.
On this point, there is no technical content to win you over.
"Many people are now saying that Southampton is already a super giant on par with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
If it had been a year ago, or even half a year ago, maybe few people would have believed it, but now."
Rummenigge didn't finish his words, but Yang Huan understood the meaning.
In the past six months, especially after Yang Huan established the Miracle Football Group and put Peter Kenyon in full charge of the affairs of the Miracle Football Group, many unknown changes have taken place in European football unknowingly. .
Everyone knows some things, such as the relationship between Southampton and Monaco, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Hamburg, as well as Ajax, Benfica and other teams.
This is well known in the inner circle.
But so what It seems that everyone knows the relationship between Chelsea and Vitesse of the Netherlands.
In order to avoid both participating in the Champions League, Chelsea even asked Vitesse not to win the league championship in order to bypass UEFA rules.
But the young master Huan in front of him is different.
He is careless and aboveboard, allowing all his teams to appear in the European competition.
Although everyone knows that these teams compete based on their strength, this does not violate the law.
Is it stipulated?
There is a saying that goes well, all rules are set up for the weak.
In the eyes of the strong, are rules useful?
The answer is, it is useful, but it can be changed and there can be special cases.
"Karl, you didn't come here specifically to tell me this, right?"
Yang Huan chuckled, "Also, if you blame Monaco for snatching away Timo Horn, who you are interested in, then I can't do anything about it.
It has nothing to do with me” Rummenigge burst out laughing, "Master Huan was joking, the transfer is over now, it's over."
It sounds like he is really open-minded.
It was previously reported that Bayern Munich was very dissatisfied with goalkeeper Kraft.
After the introduction of Neuer failed, Bayern Munich was interested in Cologne's Timo Horn and planned to purchase him after a period of investigation.
But as a result, without any news in the transfer market, Monaco suddenly took action and spent 8 million euros to introduce Timo Horn from Cologne in one night.
German media revealed that this made Bayern Munich very dissatisfied.
But in Master Huan’s opinion, what’s the point?
In the final analysis, running a football club is a competition for talents.
Anyone who cannot afford it should not play.

"Master Huan, to tell you the truth, I am here tonight on behalf of the European Club Association to invite you, Southampton, to attend the members' meeting to be held in Nyon, Switzerland in a few days."
After hearing this, Yang Huan frowned and shook his head, "I don't quite understand, Karl, we are not members of the European Club Association, nor are we informal members, so why are we invited to attend the members' meeting?"
Rummenigge laughed after hearing this, "Master Huan, it's like this.
After consultation and communication with the executive committee, we feel that Southampton has made outstanding contributions to European football in the past few years, so we We plan to make an exception and invite Southampton to join the European Club Association and become a full member.”
"This seems to be against the rules," Yang Huan still frowned.
"If I remember correctly, according to the charter of the European Club Association, any team that wants to join the organization and become a formal member must either win five European championship trophies, or apply to become an informal member first and study for a period of time.
After that, he will become a formal member by way of supplementary membership.”
At this point, Yang Huan smiled awkwardly, "I did the math.
In our more than 100-year history, Southampton has only won four European championship trophies, which is not enough."
The championship trophies required by the European Club Association do not include the Super Cup and Club World Cup, but only the Champions League, Europa League, the former UEFA Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup.
However, all of Southampton's European championships were won in the past few years after Yang Huan took over.
Only four, which is not enough.
As for applying to become an informal member, it is not difficult, but the difficulty is to become a formal member.
Why do you say that?
This has to start from the time when the European Club Association was established.
Everyone knows that among the sixteen founding teams, nine teams are from g14.
In other words, on the surface it is recognized by UEFA and represents the official organization of European professional clubs.
But in the final analysis, it is Still controlled by g14.
Especially in recent years, g14 teams have joined this organization one after another, and the European Club Association has become an expanded version of the g14 organization.
Like the G14 organization, the most powerful teams in the European Club Association are the wealthy teams.
Since they represent the interests of the wealthy clubs, they must find ways to control the mid-to-lower teams.
How to control it Very simple, the rules Although the official membership of the European Club Association has been expanding, in fact, it has strict quota control.
Leagues ranked first to third in the European standings can have five official member places, fourth to sixth can have four, seventh to fifteenth can have three, and leagues ranked sixteenth to sixteenth can have four.
Twenty-eight, there can be two, twenty-nine to fifty-three, there can only be one.
But if that's all, it doesn't matter.
The key is the quota limit on the executive committee.
The Executive Committee of the European Club Association has a total of fifteen places, eleven of which come from voting.
In the leagues ranked first to sixth in the European War standings, five executive committee members are elected, from seventh to fifteenth, three are elected, from sixteenth to twenty-eighth, two are elected, and from twenty-nine to fifty Three, choose one.
The remaining four places come from teams previously recommended by the European Club Association to the UEFA Strategy Committee, and they are usually filled by wealthy teams.
Yes or no Through this layer-by-layer reduction and strict quota restrictions, power is firmly controlled at the top.
For those middle and lower-tier teams, so what if they have quotas?
As the saying goes, people are poor and have short ambitions.
What can teams from small national leagues such as Estonia, Luxembourg, or Ireland say in this situation?
Even if you are allowed to speak, once the interests of a wealthy team are touched, it will be difficult to speak alone.
This is why Master Huan said that rules are set for the weak.
Why does the Premier League have six places?
Manchester City does not have five European championship trophies.
It does not comply with the provisions of the European Club Association's charter and can make an exception to increase the Premier League quota.
So why can Manchester City become a full member?
Yang Huan is not jealous of Manchester City.
On the contrary, if he wanted to join, he would have joined long ago.
Monaco, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Benfica, Ajax, Basel, Austria Vienna, Sparta Prague, and Anderlecht are all full members.
Aek Athens and Hamburg have also been informal members for a long time.
Let me ask, if Southampton wants to join, it will not be easy.
With Master Huan’s connections and connections, what can happen in just a few minutes?

The problem is that Master Huan never thought about joining before, or in other words, he would not take the initiative to join.
Rummenigge smiled bitterly when he heard what Master Huan said.
Young Master Huan, the whole world knows that you are the most unruly person, and now you are telling me the rules If you really want to act in accordance with the rules and regulations, we should kick out all your teams from the European Club Association.
But the problem is, we have never done that at all.
On the contrary, we have always turned a blind eye, Mr.
Huan.
But Rummenigge did not dare to say these words in his mind to his face, so he just smiled.
"Master Huan, there are always exceptions to everything."
Yang Huan nodded, feeling funny in his heart, special case "Southampton has made such a big contribution to the development of European football in the past few years, so naturally we should treat it as an exception."
This time, Master Huan was really amused.
It's okay to use these words to fool the fans, but if you want to fool Master Huan, okay?
Rummenigge looked at Master Huan's expression and felt depressed in his heart.
Others are begging to enter the European Club Association, and it depends on the mood of their big bosses.
If they are unhappy, get lost.
But it’s good for you, Master Huan.
We took the initiative to beg you to come in, but you are still hesitant and refuse to come in.
Isn’t this ridiculous?
Also, after people join, they have to start from the spare tire alliance, uh, no, it is an informal membership.
After enough qualifications, when we are happy, you can become a full member.
After becoming a full member, you still have to look at our faces. .
Master Kehuan, you can become a formal member directly.
You know, with Southampton's advance, the Premier League has gone from the current six places to seven places.
There are only five places in La Liga and the Bundesliga, and Italy even has only four places, which is enough to give Premier League teams face.
But these words and these things, Rummenigge can only keep them in his heart and cannot say them.
In fact, the reason why he took the initiative to invite the saints to join the church was, in the final analysis, forced by the situation.
What Peter Kenyon has done in European football in the past period of time has almost driven them crazy.
Also, the Premier League teams have been surprisingly united in recent times, advancing and retreating together, which is surprising.
More importantly, Blatter collapsed, and both FIFA and UEFA needed to reform.
This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the European Club Association.
Because one of the reform issues of FIFA and UEFA is to increase the voice of capital in professional football and thereby enhance the transparency of football operations.
It's obvious that the opportunity they've been waiting for for so many years has finally arrived:
