"I always thought that the botrytized liqueur wine of Chateau Yquem was the best white wine in France. I don't know if you like it too." Aulas raised his glass and gestured to Moretti, "Cheers .”

Moretti looked at the person in front of him, drinking his wine in a daze.

"It's great, isn't it?" Auras had his usual smile on his face. Those who knew him would be afraid of that kind of smile, because it was a special kind of smile that Olas would only have after the conspiracy succeeded. Smiling, "This bottle of wine is from 86. At that time, I was not the chairman of Lyon. I still remember that Lyon was still in the second division of France at that time, just like Ajaccio now."

"But now Lyon is not what it used to be." Moretti perfunctory.

"Yeah, it's not what it used to be. But hasn't Ajaccio also upgraded? Maybe in the near future, Ajaccio will not be what it used to be." [

Moretti shook his head and smiled wryly, he still has this self-knowledge.

"You just have too little guts. When I took over Lyon, I said that I wanted to win the Ligue [-] championship. You also need to have this kind of courage and courage."

"I'm not you, Mr. Aulas. Lyon is a G14 team, how can we compare?" Moretti still couldn't figure out what Aulas was thinking.

"It's just making up the numbers, it's not a skill." Olas waved his hand, as if it was a trivial matter, "As long as you can find the right direction of effort, you will easily have this day."

That's the point.

"I was just about to ask Mr. Aulas for advice on how we should work hard." Moretti said with some hints, "Ajaccio is a small team, without the help of a big team like Lyon, what would it be?" It can't be done."

"Helping the brother team is the right thing to do." Aulas nodded, "I can't guarantee other things, but there are still many outstanding players in my Tola Vorozh base. Your next one If you want to play in the first division this season, you might as well go to my base and pick a few players to use."

Is this going to turn Ajaccio into Lyon's satellite team?

Moretti understood the deep meaning of this flower in his heart, but he was very happy to agree, "I have admired the Torah Volozh base for a long time. A base that can produce players like Giuly must definitely There's a lot of talent that can help my team."

Olas nodded, raised his glass and sipped for a while before speaking, "I heard that you don't know about Coach Kubis, do you?"

Finally got to the point, Moretti nodded with a submissive expression.

"I will ask you about this matter, but I can't guarantee the result. Kubis is a good coach and I don't want anything to happen to him, but the French Professional Football Association is not mine alone. What can you guarantee?"

Are conditions not enough?

"Then, what should I do to cooperate with you?" Moretti also asked politely.

"The point is not me. In fact, I, as well as the chairmen of the other teams, are all embarrassing Kubis, but the Football Association is hard to explain." Aulas shook his head, "Our power is still too small Well, if only we could be as free as those on the other side of the sea."

These words made Moretti's expression change.

This is no longer a simple division of the team's forces, but involves something more fundamental.

Moretti is not sure whether he should cooperate with Aulas.He originally thought that what Aulas needed was to establish a Lyon faction capable of fighting Marseille and Paris. He didn't care about being close to Lyon's banner like Toulouse, Lille, and Bastia.But now it seems that Lyon's appetite is a bit scary.

Like the other side of the sea? [

The Premier League has completely left the FA behind.What would happen if Ligue [-] were also completely separated from the French Football Association?

increasing income?Increased influence?Increased strength?It may be possible, but what Moretti knows better is another thing-after the Premier League officially establishes order, no one can compete with Manchester United for the championship except Professor Wenger.

It is true that Ajaccio is a newly promoted team, but Ligue [-] has always been a chaotic league. It is possible to win the championship if you play well, but if the order on the other side is established, doesn't it mean that the championship will only belong to the rich? Doesn't Ligue [-] become the league of Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux, and Monaco?

This kind of thing, Morettifa agreed.

"Those Brits are bastards." Moretti scolded the Brits, which could be regarded as pointing and cursing to show his attitude.

Although he hoped that Aulas could help him, Kubis was just a team coach after all.It is not worth sacrificing the future of the team for him.

His attitude had long been expected by Olas.Olas was just drinking wine leisurely, not in a hurry, "Bastards are not all benefited. At least their set of reforms has brought them a lot of benefits. A friend of mine is in the UK, and he Tell me how much the English teams earn, I'm surprised."

Aulas seemingly inadvertently stretched out his finger and compared a number, which made Moretti's face change drastically, "This is the income level of their relegation team. How?"

"Money is not everything." Moretti said stiffly.

"But it can definitely solve most of the things." Aulas smiled, "How did Lyon enter G14? To put it bluntly, it's not because Lyon is the third largest city in France, and its annual broadcast revenue is the largest. If g14 really wants to form a European league, it cannot ignore the viewing fees of France, and now France needs the approval of Paris, Marseille and Lyon to get the viewing fees of football It’s so big, even a team like Lyon, which has only one French Cup in team history, can enter G14 with money, while a team like Nottingham Forest can only rot in their own home with honor.”

Moretti opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.It was obvious that he was moved, and Olas poured himself another glass of wine.

"You know, Lyon has a good relationship with Lille, Toulouse, Bastia, and us have a good relationship," Aulas said with a hint of pride, "And Bordeaux and Marseille, the relationship with Lyon is also good. Said it was excellent."

Moretti raised his head suddenly, no matter how hard he could imagine, Marseille and Bordeaux would fall to Lyon.

Marseille is the number one club in Ligue [-], while Bordeaux is the team from the fourth largest city in France!Their influence is not comparable to other teams!

What a powerful force this is!How on earth did Leon draw them into his hands?And what was Aulas's reason for holding back for so long?

"I think, as a part of French football, we should do something for French football. You are also a part of Ligue [-]. Are you interested in coming with us?"

Such a powerful force is enough to challenge the Football Association, but Moretti still has some concerns. After all, the Football Association is also powerful.

As if seeing what he was worried about, Aulas patted his head, "Oh, yes, I forgot to mention. Raymond and I talked on the phone, and he only supported my opinion. And tn there , They also believe that Ligue [-] should strengthen its competitiveness."

Moretti's heart beat even faster.

Raymond?Raymond Domenech?The coach of the French youth team?

tn?National Technical Steering Committee?

Yeah, how could it be otherwise!Domenech is a celebrity in Lyon, and Aulas personally gave him the opportunity to become a coach. Although Jacques is in charge of tn, Tigana, Guy Stefan, and Lacombe in the association are all former coaches of Lyon!And Lyon's current coach, Santini, was also an expert in TN before that! [

Moretti knows what tn is.The National Technical Steering Committee is a coaching organization under the French Football Association. It was founded by Houllier and Jacquet is in charge. For a long time, French coaches have been selected from TN!The French Football Association does not have much power. What they can be responsible for is mainly the selection of national team talents and the appointment and dismissal of coaches. Now, this right has also been dug out.

The French Football Association was emptied.

How long has Aulas laid out this big net?Lyon has never won a championship in these years. Everyone thought that Lyon could only spend money and not handle affairs, but no one noticed what kind of relationship network Lyon had woven in the past ten years, how it had grown from The French second team in 87, step by step to become a member of g14 today.

He has accumulated a lot of money and endured for many years. What Aulas wants is not a championship. What he wants is the right to rule Ligue [-], like Tapie, and even his ambition is bigger than Tappy. It's honor. What he wants is not only honor, but also money.

"We will have a bright future. After commercialization, teams with greater power can have more income. These incomes are undoubtedly extremely wonderful, and we can strengthen our team." Aulas continued. He said, "I've already thought about it. In the future, the Lyon team will not only strive to win the league championship, but also compete for the Champions League championship."

"It's really not easy." Moretti responded.

"Yeah, multi-line combat is definitely not easy, so I reckon that in the next few years, I may not have much energy to devote to cup competitions. The honor of the French Cup and the French League Cup may take a long time." I've been with Leon for a while."

Is this the new temptation?

Moretti swallowed.With Leon taking the lead, you don't have to bear the responsibility yourself, and the success rate is extremely high.And the benefits are not only money, but also in terms of honor, I don't have to worry that I won't be able to get it anymore...

Everything is perfect.

"Here is a plan, you might as well read it first. We can talk about the next thing slowly." Seeing Moretti's expression, Aulas proudly took out a plan.

Ligue [-] reform.

A row of black letters looks brighter on white paper.
