Chapter 345 Manchester United's Rage

Chapter 344 The Anger of Manchester United

Players and fans have shown their anger in their own ways, and Manchester United will naturally not let it go.

From the second day after the end of the first round between the two sides, the Manchester United club sent a letter of protest and representations to UEFA.

First of all, the Manchester United club protested the serious misjudgment and bias of the referee Scola. Manchester United suspected that Scola was affected by off-field factors and asked UEFA to set up an investigation team to investigate the matter.

In addition, Manchester United appealed against the red cards of Ferguson and Van Persie, requesting the cancellation of these two unreasonable red cards.

Manchester United's approach is actually a bit out of line, because the referee problem will always exist, and it is impossible to solve the referee problem.In the past, if small clubs were cheated, they could only complain, and giant clubs might get other private compensation plans, which has almost become an unspoken rule.

However, Manchester United did not want any compensation at all this time. They directly requested the establishment of an investigation team to investigate the referee.Check, check who?
This matter cannot be done by Barcelona, ​​​​they can't reach the UEFA Referee Committee no matter how much they do.Gaming companies are also possible, but this possibility is very small, because the cost is too high and the risk faced by the referee is too high.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows the tricks, and the most likely culprit behind the scenes is UEFA itself.

Manchester United is very angry this time. Their meritorious coach Ferguson was treated like this in the last season, and as a top giant, he was hacked so badly. This gives Manchester United enough reasons not to so-called private compensation. They just want to show things to the public.

Manchester United's non-routine play made UEFA extremely angry, especially the head of UEFA Michel Platini.

After the Frenchman became the president of UEFA, he wanted to let UEFA have more say, and his goal is to surpass the influence of FIFA.

Platini's goal is also the goal of almost every UEFA president, so the relationship between UEFA and FIFA has never eased.

In the eyes of high-level executives, football is a business, and if it is a business, it must pay attention to interests, and the right to speak is the foundation of interests.

After Platini took office, unlike his predecessor Johansson's ruling philosophy based on giants, Platini's ruling policy is to let more small and medium-sized clubs and weak European football countries have the right to speak, relying on their votes and momentum to give themselves bonuses.

After Platini consolidated his UEFA chairmanship, he won the favor of small and medium-sized clubs through financial reforms and transfer policy reforms, because Platini's reforms brought them more protection and benefits, allowing them to have certain competitiveness. They are no longer reduced to a foundry for giants to cultivate star embryos.

The interests of this world are limited, and the more interests of small and medium-sized clubs, it means that the cakes of the rich clubs will be less.Therefore, there is a natural irreconcilable contradiction between Platini and the traditional giants.

of course there are exceptions!Platini also vigorously advocated happy football and artistic football after taking office.Platini, who was born as an offensive player, will treat people like Chelsea and Mourinho as sworn enemies.On the contrary, he took Barcelona, ​​the most entertaining game in recent years, as a demonstration point, and Messi has become his favorite player.

Of course, loving Barcelona and Messi does not necessarily mean that he really likes them, but that Platini needs to like Barcelona and Messi.

At the same time, Barcelona is also a path for Platini to divide the traditional giants. He played it very smoothly. It can be said that after the French World Cup preparatory committee, Platini has become a complete football politician.

Manchester United's ignorance made UEFA headed by Platini very angry. To continue their ruling plan, Barcelona and Messi must be kept. It is not a big problem not to win the Champions League, but Messi must not be overshadowed by the Chinese, and Barcelona cannot be eliminated by disobedient Premier League teams.

So they didn't intend to compromise on this matter at all.

On April 4, UEFA expressed their trust and support for Scola at a regular press conference. At the same time, they condemned the death threats issued by Manchester United fans, players and referees, saying that this was a retrogression of history.

As for Manchester United's red card appeal, it is impossible for Ferguson's red card to be cancelled, because his two yellow cards were all right.As for Van Persie's red card, UEFA will follow normal procedures.

UEFA's red card appeal, the normal procedure is generally 3-5 days, but there is only 6 days between the two rounds of the game between the two sides, and the 18-man squad for the second round must be submitted 2 days before the game.In other words, if UEFA's appeal is a little slower, then Van Persie will not be able to play even if the red card is cancelled.

UEFA plays the rules so well that even if they want to find faults, it is impossible, they are really acting according to the rules.

Regarding UEFA's overbearing, the outside world can only helplessly, so what if it is stronger than Manchester United, can it still be stronger than UEFA?

Manchester United is naturally no better than UEFA, but as Ferguson said, they are not a small team, they are Manchester United, a top giant.So they naturally have their own means!
On April 4, the day of the Manchester derby, United held a short press conference after the game, and they announced something that had UEFA on edge, as an organization somewhat out of sight reemerged in the news.

In 1998, 14 European giants clubs (Ajax, Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester United, AC Milan, Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain, Porto, Eindhoven, Real Madrid) wanted to unify their voices in the negotiations with UEFA and gain a higher right to speak. To this end, they held a secret meeting in Brussels, Belgium.

This secret meeting gave birth to the super-interest alliance that shocked the world of football - G14.In November of that year, the official regulations and terms of the G-11 organization were formulated.The primary goal of establishing this organization at that time was to hope to get more profits from participating in the Champions League.

As a last resort, in order to meet the requirements of G-14, UEFA also changed the competition system of the Champions League in 1999 (the group stage before the quarter-finals was changed from one round to two rounds, and the participating teams were expanded to 32 teams).

On August 2002, 8, G-30 held a meeting in Monte Carlo, Monaco, announcing the absorption of Leverkusen, Arsenal, Lyon and Valencia as new members. As a result, G-14 members expanded to 14, but it did not change its name to G18.

On January 2008, 1, G21 reached a tacit understanding of interests in the long-term negotiations with UEFA and FIFA, and signed an unprecedented new agreement that players recruited by the national team must pay compensation to the club. The total compensation is as high as 14 million US dollars.

In return, on February 2th, the European Football League G15 officially announced its dissolution.

As a top giant, Manchester United has a century-old history that has given them enough background and connections. This time, being suppressed by UEFA gave Manchester United a chance to show their muscles.

After UEFA publicly refuted Manchester United's representations and the request for the establishment of an investigation team, Manchester United sent the 14 members of the G18 an invitation to a meeting on the grounds of "commercial exploitation".

And Manchester United also invited Chelsea, Tottenham, Roma and Atletico Madrid who are not in G14.The meeting was scheduled for April 4, the day before Manchester United's game against Barcelona, ​​which is an interesting timing.The venue of the meeting is arranged in Paris, France.

After Manchester United held the press conference, the remaining 21 teams that received the invitation expressed that they would arrange representatives to attend the meeting, and they also looked forward to closer business development cooperation.

Although the G14 has been disbanded, it is impossible to disband the network of interests between them, so it is impossible for everyone to communicate in private.

In recent years, Platini's step-by-step reforms have made the rich teams' voice less and less, and their interests have shrunk a lot.The traditional giants need to beat UEFA and tell them that they are almost done. If it is too much, I will not play with you.

This time it was Manchester United who sent out the invitation, maybe next time it will be their own invitation. Maintaining common interests is itself the rule of the game, and anyone who does not abide by it will be kicked out, so the old members including Barcelona responded one after another.As for the 4 new members, receiving the invitation means the recognition of the G14 members, which is an honor in itself, and it means that they may be covered by a larger community of interests in the future, so they are the most active.

UEFA panicked, this time it really panicked!
It took them so many years and so many exchanges of interests to disband the G14, but this time Manchester United easily regrouped those interest groups on the grounds of "commercial development cooperation" and expanded the scale.

Although G14 repeatedly declared before the disbandment that they "never considered forming a new league", as long as they want, they can withdraw from UEFA at any time and form a new type of cup similar to the Champions League.

The crux of the problem is that the G14 really have this ability. Whether it is organizational structure, TV broadcasting, or capital operation and investment attraction, they are fully capable of starting from scratch.

Just imagine, if the Champions League were without Real Madrid, Manchester United, AC Milan, and Bayern Munich, would the Champions League still be considered the Champions League?
Imagine again, if another cup has a G14-based club federation, they start a new cup.

So, who will the sponsor choose?Who will the fans choose?
There is no suspense in the answer!

UEFA has two trump cards, the Champions League every year, and the European Cup every four years. If the Champions League is lost, is UEFA still UEFA?

Until this time, UEFA finally knew about Manchester United's anger.

protest?Don't be silly, they are just discussing cooperation in business development, why do you protest!Moreover, they did not even give UEFA the status of inviting observers. This is completely to throw UEFA away.

What should UEFA do?
