Chapter 408 G14's Trouble

At least for now, investing in Chelsea is still a project that will make Abrahimovic lose money, but if he keeps investing such a large amount of money, maybe one day Chelsea will grow to a self-sufficient level.

It’s just that before that, Chelsea will definitely need to win a few more championship trophies. The FA Cup and League Cup are not big enough. They have not won the league championship for more than 50 years. Premier League Championship trophy.

It seems that the team led by Mourinho is likely to really lead the way and eventually overturn the monopoly of Arsenal and Manchester United on the Premier League.

Before that, they had already defeated Manchester United and Liverpool first, and now there is only one club left that can prevent Chelsea from grabbing the half-time championship first.

Of course, the league does not only have a half-time, but based on the experience of previous years, the champion of the half-way will often become the league champion of that year.

For players who still retain the ambition to compete for the championship, no matter whether it is the final championship or the first half of the winter standings, they cannot miss it.

The match between Arsenal and Chelsea will be held in December. For Arsenal, it is more important to deal with several opponents in the current Champions League first.

Three wins and three wins in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Arsenal are currently ranked first in the group. As the defending champions, they were placed in such a weak group. This in itself caused dissatisfaction among many other teams. I feel that Arsenal seems to have reached an agreement with UEFA, some insider transaction.

The other G14 members are now putting pressure on Arsenal, trying to extract some information from Arsenal.

The contradiction between the giant clubs represented by G14, UEFA and various national teams has a long history.

On the one hand, it represents a wealthy club, which owns the best players in the world, the most fans, and the broadest market base.

On the other hand, it is the representative of power and the maker of rules.

Both parties are competing for their own interests.

At present, because of several bills, the member clubs in G14 are discussing the meeting. The meeting is to discuss how to deal with the difficult problems issued by UEFA.

Last year, Platini, the executive member of UEFA and also the vice chairman of the French Football Association, said that if he served as the chairman of UEFA in the future, he would not recognize the G14 organization and would will outlaw it.

Platini's remarks certainly caused considerable controversy. For the giant clubs, this guy is really annoying. Without him, there will be a lot of opposition to G14. Policies with benefits are passed more quickly.

Of course, apart from the wealthy teams, those ordinary small and medium-sized clubs who have been oppressed all welcome Platini’s remarks. They feel that Platini has brought light to these small and medium-sized clubs. Then a few big balls will monopolize the top league, and the days of cup champions will be gone forever.

The situation is very dangerous, because the UEFA election is about to begin. Although the power of the giant clubs is strong and their influence is almost enough to cover the whole world, they have no way to rely on more interests in UEFA, which is elected according to head count. To win over small and medium clubs.

How many of those guys who have the right to vote who represent the interests of the lower classes will really dare to go against the trend of history, the general trend under the gushing tide?
What Platini said about Shao Bo himself was also touched. If the whole of Europe has always been filled with these old faces, it is really meaningless. Strengthening the competitiveness of small and medium-sized clubs is also a good policy for the entire football environment. Arsenal are more supportive of this.

However, Platini's indifferent attitude towards the giants, and his coming to power will inevitably affect Arsenal's interests, made Shao Bo resist.

Like many other clubs, Shao Bo is now on the sidelines and has not expressed his position.

Although it is not possible for Arsenal to vote in the UEFA presidential election, it is just that these big clubs will inevitably have a great impact on the election.

A huge club represents not only the stars in the team, but more importantly, with the inheritance of history, football officials who played for wealthy clubs in the past and now join the national football associations will also be affected by the fetters of themselves and the clubs. It is influenced by the will of the club.

They may not really listen to the opinions of the current club executives, but if they add up, at the critical moment of the election, this influence is very likely to affect the final result.

Therefore, even if Shao Bo has played for Arsenal for less than ten years now, even if there are still many people who are dissatisfied with Shao Bo, a non-Englishman, controlling Arsenal, they still cannot ignore what Shao Bo said.

This is one of the manifestations of the influence he gained after taking control of Arsenal.As a member of G14 - the owner of Arsenal, the head coach, the winner of the Champions League... Shao Bo now finds that he can no longer export casually.

There will be no elections for Platini this year, but in order to ascend to the throne of UEFA president, they will inevitably carry out some campaigns in advance.

Perhaps by the time ordinary fans learn about this information through newspapers, TV and other media, Shao Bo and the others will have been able to determine who can take the position of UEFA president.

Of course, even if it wasn't for Platini, FIFA's current attitude towards G14 is not friendly. They don't want such an extremely influential organization to be out of their control. This is too uneasy .

After years of hard work and verbal wars, the national football associations have announced their subsidies to clubs during international competitions. It is not as much as expected, but it is better than nothing. It is a small victory.

But after that, the progress between G14, UEFA and FIFA became more and more slow, and the attitude of FIFA President Blatte gradually changed from weak to tough.

Originally, he still wanted to support G14 to weaken the power of UEFA. After all, UEFA is the most powerful and powerful intercontinental football federation under FIFA. They can completely put aside all the football associations on the earth. To play, FIFA tried their best to control them. With the restraint of G14, UEFA will make less trouble.

But these years have passed, and Blatter found that the development of G14 is too rapid, even if it is to control UEFA, it cannot be left to its own devices.

After all, they have experienced several times of military expansion, and their strength has become more and more inflated. After a few more military expansions, UEFA is really not needed, and G14 can also play their own games.

After the initial 14 teams, the most influential is of course Arsenal. Although Roma and Lazio are also considered as the second batch of members to join G14 like Arsenal, their recent results are very poor. not to force.

Fortunately, Roma can still qualify for the Champions League, but Lazio can only let God bless, this club with a maximum salary of no more than 150 million euros, continue to stay in Serie A!

For the current tragedy of Lazio, Shao Bo also has lingering fears. Both Dortmund and Lazio are in the period of "post-disaster reconstruction". Unfortunately, in Shao Bo's memory, Dortmund recovered first, and Lazio until Before Shao Bo crossed over, he hadn't recovered his vitality and participated in the Champions League again.

Now that Lotito is taking over Lazio, Shao Bo doesn't know whether it is good or bad. Maybe if they change to other bosses, they may not be as stingy as Lotito, but Lazio may be relegated, and maybe they won't win. How many cup winners?

Shao Bo has decided to further reform Arsenal as a whole in the near future, so as to avoid that when something happens to him or other problems in the future, the entire club will be affected and the operation will not be smooth.

Shao Bo is very willing to become the most powerful person in the entire club, but the position of head coach and the identity of the club owner have guaranteed this. More power will be delegated and more experienced people will help Shao Bo manage Arsenal Nah, that's a better choice.

UEFA needs reform, G14 needs reform and Arsenal needs reform too.

However, the current G14 does not seem to feel the crisis they are currently facing, and is still preparing to absorb the next batch of members.

Among them, there is Arsenal's neighbor in West London, Chelsea.

The influence of Chelsea in the west of the city is not as good as that of Arsenal. They have never won the Champions League trophy, but whether it is the trophy of the European War or the trophy of England's top league, Chelsea has never lacked. This is more or less satisfied for them. Honor Foundation.

After all, some teams were not as good as Chelsea before.

Deportivo, Valencia, Leverkusen... Among these teams, Valencia has recently won the La Liga championship. The giants, but the scarcity of championships put them at a disadvantage.

A team like Hertha Berlin that is about to be relegated can half-join G14 and become an observer. How can Chelsea, which won the European championship in the 90s of the last century, not be able to?
Of course, Chelsea's joining is destined to be blocked by Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Although Liverpool have only had one UEFA Cup as a fig leaf in the honor book in recent years, their influence is still very strong after more than ten years of the Hillsborough tragedy.

Liverpool, which was powerful in the 80s and 21s, is still very appealing even in the [-]st century.

Of course, such a team joined G14 early.

But what is Chelsea?
Can it be regarded as another representative of a club acquired by a rich man after Lazio?

It's just that Lazio faced the crisis of bankruptcy after a short period of glory, and finally escaped, but they can only hang out in the middle and lower reaches of Serie A, which is far less than the original scenery.

Is Chelsea going to be the next Lazio?
Who knows whether Russia will seize Abrahimovic's property?
People in Western Europe have always distrusted the huge empire in the East. Even if the major cities in Russia are all in Europe, even if their capital is in Europe, most Western Europeans think that Russia is an Asian country.

Abrahimovic from Asia, he can not gain much sense of recognition here.

Even those who play football and engage in football can be regarded as tall, handsome and rich among ordinary people, but compared with Abrahimovic, who is invincibly rich, they are still too poor to go out.

Faced with such a huge gap, how could it be possible to be friendly to him and Chelsea under Abrahimovic?

Even if Shao Bo also bought Arsenal, he had already proved himself with his own strength before the purchase. As a head coach, Shao Bo has won so many convincing championships. Willing to regard Shao Bo as the head coach of Arsenal, not the owner of Arsenal.

If it were Abrahimovic, let's see what would happen if he became Chelsea's head coach?
It is guaranteed that even if the Premier League is relegated to the team, it can beat Chelsea so much that even his mother can't recognize it.

Of course, the more important point may be that in the transfer market, this unruly Abrahimovic often poachs the favorites of other clubs directly with money, and Arsenal is now basically able to meet self-sufficiency. .

Relying on the powerful youth training system excavated by Shao Bo, it is enough to ensure that Arsenal's players will continue to produce. Their strength is not weak, and their potential is extremely high. They are also very popular if they are sold after a few years of training.

Some players are very expensive, but they are worth the money, and the money is not wasted.

It's just that some players in Shao Bo's blueprint for building a team will not be sold for any amount of money.

A club is a place of production, and each team will think of it when they strengthen their strength. Another team is like a greedy crocodile basking in the sun on the shore with its mouth open. Once it finds a target, it will not hesitate to rush Go forward, finish off the prey, and don't leave a bite for others to eat.

How can this club, which has increased the price of players in the transfer market, gain the favor of other competitors?

For an upstart like Chelsea, the three Premier League teams in G14 unanimously resisted this. They don't want the original pattern to be destroyed.

But if Chelsea really win the league championship this season, then with this championship, they will also have enough qualifications to join G14, and no one can say anything.

The G14 here does not have absolute veto power like the permanent members of the United Nations.

Arsenal, Manchester United, etc., if Chelsea win the championship, there is really no way to prevent them from joining G14.

Even UEFA and FIFA regard G14 as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, but being able to join this organization is currently considered an honor.

If it is not a club with enough influence and enough trophies, how can it be qualified to join G14?

More importantly, if they join G14, Chelsea can also get more and more valuable power here.

The team will develop faster and pose a greater threat to the traditional forces of the Premier League!

Arsenal don't want that.

Manchester United and Chelsea also don't want to do this, but in the first half of the season, both teams failed to block Chelsea. The only one that made Chelsea fail was a team that was about to be relegated.

There is no way but to wait until December and hand over the task of blocking Chelsea to Arsenal.

They were very unwilling and could only acquiesce in this result.

It's just that Arsenal don't have the chance to play against Chelsea now, and they still have to work hard for No.1 in the Champions League group stage.

The three teams have played, but it is not over yet. The group stage will be divided into two rounds, home and away. Arsenal will come to Germany this time to play against Leverkusen in Germany.

The away game is always not as easy as the home game. In addition to the different momentum and environment brought about by the number of fans on the court, what is more important is the different size of the court.

A football field is not the same as a rugby field, they are not exactly the same, but Arsenal can only live with it.

Because Leverkusen didn't say anything when they came to the Emirates Stadium, as long as they meet the standards set by the Champions League, they have to endure it.

An important sign of world-class players is that no matter where they play, these world-class players can adapt quickly.

This is the case with all Arsenal players. It can't be that Leverkusen almost slaughtered Arsenal when they first came to the Emirates Stadium. As a result, Arsenal came to Germany and their legs became weak, right?

As a powerful team in the Bundesliga, at least with the sponsorship of Bayer Pharmaceuticals, Leverkusen's strength is not bad at all with the stadium they are playing in.

As one of the top [-] companies in the world, as a pharmaceutical company that has developed a series of aspirin and other pharmaceutical companies that have had a major impact on the world, Bayer has considerable financial resources.

Leverkusen is not just a football club. Like them, it is almost the same as the Bayer corporate team. There are also sports departments such as basketball, tennis, swimming, judo, and volleyball, but football is the most widely known.

However, as Leverkusen's stadium, the Bayer Arena has a small capacity, with less than [-] seats, which is not as good as some League One clubs.

However, the high attendance rate of the Bundesliga is not just blown out casually, maybe it has the bonus effect of the match against Arsenal, at least in this game, the attendance rate reached [-]%.

Before the start of this game, some players in Arsenal had already contracted illnesses and colds because they were not well adapted to the local environment in Leverkusen.

A cold is a problem worthy of attention for football clubs. Because he didn't pay attention to it, Alonso, who caught a cold and caught a cold, immediately followed the staff back to North London and took a temporary rest. After the other players were checked, Finally got to train and play.
