Chapter 181 European Cup in Two Countries
This year's competition is quite intensive, not only because of the new round of reform of the Champions League, which added a stage of group stage.What's more, they still have the task of the European Cup in the summer.

The game between the national team and the club has been going on for nearly a hundred years.

The two sides struggled with the schedule of the game, the recruitment and compensation of players, and constantly compromised.

Although the club has always been a relatively weak side, after all, no matter how powerful a private organization is, it is impossible to confront the national power.

However, in recent years, with the development of technologies such as television broadcasting, football matches have been promoted to the whole world, and the influence of football clubs is also growing.

Until the establishment of G14, they even had the confidence to challenge UEFA publicly.

However, after obtaining sufficient benefit compensation, these powerful club interest body alliances are also satisfied and dare not ask for too much.

Just like a large-scale event like the European Cup, no club dares to affect the holding of such a large-scale event.

When UEFA promised to allocate a certain bonus to the club according to the number of players in the national team, G14 could only fully support it.

It is also because of the holding of the European Cup that the game time of the Champions League needs to be advanced to a certain extent, and the clubs that have received sufficient compensation no longer complain.

This year's European Cup is the first large-scale sports event jointly held by two countries in the world. As for the vote that has passed, the World Cup in Korea and Japan, which is being prepared, will have to wait until two years later.

For small countries like the Netherlands and South Korea, it is impossible for a single country to hold large-scale intercontinental or world events.

But it is impossible for them to lose the opportunity to hold this kind of competition forever, right?
After all, holding a large-scale sports event will inevitably consume a lot of money and energy, and will have a long-term impact on certain cities.

Even if several big countries take turns to hold it, it is impossible to be busy.

Moreover, it is not allowed to carry out such an activity of renovating the entire city for the purpose of holding a competition in a few years or more.

Coincidentally, holding such a large-scale event also has the advantage of transforming domestic public facilities, which can drive local economic development, and can also provide free publicity for one's own country.

Therefore, as long as it is not too frequent, every country is willing to apply for hosting.

However, small countries can't stand it. Even if they are given another 100 years, they still don't have enough resources, so they can only be held jointly by several countries.

Of course, UEFA allows such a hosting method because the integration process of the European Union is accelerating.

Now that the Eurozone has been established, measures such as currency integration and passports passing within the EU are being fully implemented.The joint hosting of the Netherlands and Belgium is not only in the field of football, but also beneficial to the political integration of the whole of Europe.

Therefore, they defeated several powerful competitors at that time, and jointly became the host country of the first European Cup in the new century.

Since the proposals for hosting the European Cup in the Netherlands and Belgium were approved, the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, and the European Cup in Ukraine and Poland were able to pass the vote.

Not long after the end of the UEFA Champions League, at the beginning of June in the new century, the No.11 European Cup jointly hosted by the Netherlands and Belgium officially began.

And this large-scale event will also last for more than a month on the land of the two countries.

This kind of large-scale competition, Shao Bo will still choose the games he is interested in watching.

Whether it is the Dutch national team or the Eredivisie clubs, they all have very strong competitiveness in Europe.Although the Eredivisie has lost a lot of talent in recent years, their national team is in a golden period-strictly speaking, it is the last peak period of Bergkamp and Overmars' generation of players.

They may still be able to fight for the World Cup in two years, but they probably can only play in this European Cup for one more time.

The Netherlands once won the European Cup in 1988. At that time, most of the players in the current team are still in the national youth team.

Now, the only way to regain the glory of our predecessors is to rely on our own strength to win the championship at home in our country!
In the last European Cup, they lost to the French team in the quarter-finals, and this time they don't want to lose again!
Shao Bo, who thinks he has changed a lot of history, will no longer participate in the European Cup betting. If he really changes the history of the French team winning the championship, he will owe the French team the winning lottery , Isn't that a waste of money?

Anyway, with a fast-growing company invested in Silicon Valley, Shao Bo is not short of money to spend.

Sometimes, in order to feel the passionate atmosphere, Shao Bo would choose to shout passionately with the fans in the stands closer to the stadium.

In order not to be disturbed, and in order not to affect his team because of his position in the European Cup, he put on some camouflage.

Anyway, if you paint a few national flags on your face and keep a low profile, the reporters will not notice you so easily.

Of course, when he was in the fans' stands, he could pay attention to find Chinese fan groups to sit with them.

Isn't the best way to hide a drop of water is to blend it into the sea?

In the eyes of foreigners, most people of the yellow race look the same, and no one will notice him.Just like when Shao Bo first watched foreign movies, he always confused those stars, feeling that they all came out of the same mold.

Of course, sometimes, in order to discuss the business of the club, he would also eat a delicious buffet in those luxurious boxes, and chat with other team leaders.

For example, right now he is discussing the transfer of Overmars with Barcelona chairman Joan Solvers.

Arsenal sold Anelka to Real Madrid last season with the world's top transfer fee, and the latter won the European Champions Cup that year.

Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, failed in both the league and the Champions League. Not only did they not get any honors, but they also ranked third in the league under Deportivo Deportivo.

If it weren't for Valencia's abnormal performance, they would have almost lost their qualification for the Champions League!
After learning from the pain, Barcelona made up their minds, and when the season just ended, they terminated the contract with head coach Van Gaal.

Although this has nothing to do with Shao Bo directly, many media have linked Shao Bo to the resignation of several head coaches.

In addition to Lippi, Toshack, Van Gaal and other famous coaches, even the head coach of the Leicester City team that Shao Bo met at the beginning of his coaching was also dug out by them.

So many coaches were dismissed by the club after losing to Shao Bo, or at that time, or after the end of the season.

It's like if you lose to Shao Bo, you will lose your job!
Shao Bo naturally scoffed at this.

He once said in an interview: "I have to lead the team to play dozens of games every year, and at least I have to meet only forty head coaches. Few head coaches leave the team every year for a new club? How come? Is it on my head? To put it that way, I won so many games, and if I really resigned, that would be troublesome."

Shao Bo was not the only one who dismissed this kind of news, even Lippi, the person involved, also supported Shao Bo.

Lippi, who has had a good time at Inter Milan now, said that there were many reasons for leaving Juventus that year, and it was not the impact of losing the game.

……

In any case, the nickname of Shao Bo's "Coach's Enemy" is still spread from time to time, which can be regarded as an anecdote.

Although Van Gaal left Barcelona, ​​they still feel that several Arsenal players are good and hope to introduce them.

For example, Shao Bo is talking about Overmars with them now.

Since there are major competitions this year, the transfer of players who can participate will need to be delayed.

The reason is simple: as long as they perform well, their worth will definitely rise a lot, and no one will miss such an opportunity to make money.

As for if he doesn't perform well in international competitions..., his value won't drop too much.

Although some cautious teams will choose to sell this morning, most large clubs will have absolute confidence in their players.

Now Shao Bo is able to discuss the transfer of Overmars with Barcelona in the European Cup. The reason is that they are already out.

In their home country, the hosts Netherlands lost to World Cup champions France in a penalty shoot-out.

Since there is no opportunity for Overmars to perform, Shao Bo can naturally talk to Barcelona about his price.

In addition to Overmars, Barcelona also wanted the Frenchman Pettit, but Shao Bo did not refuse, talking bit by bit, delaying time.

Both Overmars and Pettit are about to enter the downhill of their careers, and Pettit is a veteran who has reached the age of 30, and they are no longer in line with the team's team building ideas.

It happens that Barcelona want it, so why doesn't he sell it?
Speaking of which, the current Shao Bo has not completely escaped the influence of Wenger.Most of the players he bought and sold were memory verified by Wenger.

Like Overmars and Petit.

But the club really needs money now, Shao Bo is also confident to find better replacements, and they can enjoy higher salaries after they come to Barcelona.

Whether it is for the two clubs or the players, it is a win-win situation.

Originally, Barcelona proposed to pack two players, but Shao Bo pointed to Petit's performance in the French national team and desperately raised the price.

"Look, the combination of him and Deschamps is not worth 1000 million? With Overmars, the two have a total of 4000 million euros, right? Isn't it a lie if you only pay 3000 million euros?" ? Crespo can sell for [-] by himself, so my two players are not worth that much?"

The chairman of Barcelona rolled his eyes. Who knew that Lazio went crazy this year. Before the European Cup, they brought in Crespo at a high price, breaking the highest transfer value held by Anelka last year.

　I was not satisfied with what I wrote in the 99-00 season. It may be that I was distracted too much in the previous part of the recent revision.... I slowed down and tried my best to ensure the quality. The revision came slowly.
