Chapter 336: Declaration of War! Football is not dead! Yang Cheng is going to be deified! Judgment from fans all over the world! [Subscribe]
The 14/15 Champions League final was held at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
This is a stadium built in 1936, and its facilities and construction concepts are relatively old.
And this is not a professional football stadium.
There is a spacious athletic track between the stadium and the stands.
Just to host this race, the track was covered with turf so it also looked green.
When this place was chosen as the venue for the Champions League final, it caused a lot of controversy.
There are so many professional football stadiums in Europe with larger capacities than here, why choose Berlin?
UEFA did not explain the specific reasons.
As for the London Prudential Stadium, which many media and fans have high expectations for, UEFA Secretary General Infantino once explained the reason in an interview with media reporters.
"As far as I am aware, we have not received any bid from the Prudential Arena in London."
What this means is that it’s not that we didn’t choose Prudential Stadium, but that they didn’t even apply for it.
So why doesn't the Prudential Stadium bid to host the Champions League final?
The Bayswater Chinese have never made any official explanation for this.
This also made many media and fans feel regretful.
After all, the Prudential Stadium has always been the most dreamy football stadium in everyone's mind since it was built! On the afternoon before the Champions League final, Yang Cheng led the team to the Berlin Olympic Stadium for pre-match familiarization training, but was not very satisfied with some of the facilities of the stadium.
Of course, it won’t be too bad.
The venue conditions and facilities are guaranteed to be able to host the Champions League final.
The players are all very familiar with it, so they also know what to practice in the familiar field training.
For many Bayswater Chinese players, how many times have they played in the Champions League final? In the middle of training, Yang Cheng saw Adam Crozier.
So he left the training to Flick and Brian Kidd and walked to the sidelines.
"Everything is arranged." Adam Crozier reported.
According to the procedure, a pre-match press conference will be held later.
Yang Cheng is going to announce the 18-man roster and something about tomorrow's game.
But this is not Yang Cheng’s focus today.
His focus today is to have a good talk with Platini, UEFA and FIFA.
This is the hook he had been laying since last year.
He had a very unpleasant argument with Platini at that time, and it was all because of today.
Given the nature of media reporters, they will definitely take the opportunity to ask Yang Cheng about his opinion on the whole matter.
The media has been making a lot of noise in the past few days, and the fans have been enjoying the swearing and cursing of Platini and Blatter.
But what's the use?
The answer is, no use!
So far, no influential figure in the industry has come forward to express his opinion.
So, it is not hard to understand why the media are wailing: Football is dead!
No one can control FIFA and UEFA.
They are exchanging fire from a distance, who dares to stand up and express their opinions?
You can curse at them on a normal day, but in this matter, if you stand on the wrong side, when these two big guys turn around, they will kill you in minutes!
So, those famous big mouths in the circle are now silent.
Those who work in this industry are all savvy and none of them are simple.
"I think you should reconsider it. There's no need to do it yourself," Adam Crozier advised.
"Or, I'll do these things."
This is the rhythm of taking the blame for Yang Cheng! Yang Cheng smiled and patted Adam Crozier on the shoulder, "What you said is not enough!"
This is also true! Who is Yang Cheng? He is the world's top coach who has won three consecutive Champions League titles and is currently striving for a fourth consecutive title.
Tomorrow is the Champions League final!
At this time, every word Yang Cheng said would be transmitted to every corner of the world at the fastest speed by the media all over the world.
This is what Yang Cheng wants to achieve! "But I'm afraid that when Platini and Blatter are free, we will be in danger!" Adam Crozier said.
If he were to come forward and couldn't get through it, the worst that could happen would be that he would be fired.
With Yang Cheng's prestige and connections, both Blatter and Platini have to give him face.
That's how it happened.
"I'm not the kind of person who would casually sacrifice my colleagues and subordinates. Besides, if I do this, I'll either not do it or I'll do it like a lion fighting a rabbit, with all my strength, leaving them no chance of recovery!"
After a pause, Yang Cheng turned around and comforted Adam Crozier.
It's nothing more than that these two guys are just bluffing paper tigers or something like that.
But in the eyes of Adam Crozer, Xia Qing and everyone else, they are indeed very weak now, but they are definitely not paper tigers!
On the contrary, they are the most ferocious tigers in world football!
Who has been able to restrain them in the past few decades? At this moment, standing up and publicly confronting them will certainly win everyone's approval, but at what cost?
Is it worth it? Being a hero is not that easy!
But Yang Cheng always looked full of confidence, as if he would definitely win.
"By the way, David Gill just took the time to tell me that FIFA and UEFA are in a mess right now. Platini and Infantino haven't arrived in Berlin yet, and they are desperately trying to put out fires."
"When he heard that you were going to personally take action, he was also shocked. He thought it was too risky, so he asked me to persuade you."
Yang Cheng nodded slightly, "He still has some conscience."
Just for this reason, Yang Cheng felt that he had not misjudged David Gill.
I can’t say he’s honest, but at least he can be a friend.
"Don't worry, I know what I am doing."
After a pause, Yang Cheng smiled confidently again, "You have worked with me for so many years, don't you know me well?"
"For someone as afraid of death as me, if I'm not sure, would I dare to do it myself?"
Yang Cheng also has his own plans.
At this moment, no one dared to speak.
Then, whoever speaks out at this time will be respected by everyone! As for danger...
Are these two people who are about to die dangerous to Yang Cheng?
…
Just as Yang Cheng expected.
Although it was a civil war in the Premier League, the Champions League final still attracted the attention of media and fans around the world.
Media reporters from all over the world filled the press conference hall of Berlin's Olympic Stadium.
When Yang Cheng walked in with a smile on his face, there was warm applause from the audience.
Just before him, Guardiola had finished his press conference.
What’s interesting is that until tomorrow’s final, the Champions League trophy will be displayed in Manchester City’s locker room.
This has always been a tradition in the Champions League.
UEFA will invite media, fans, celebrities and the like from all over the world to come to the event.
This is a super IP, and many people come to take advantage of its popularity every day.
There will be many fans coming to visit, so the Champions League trophy will be temporarily placed in a locker room.
This time it was placed in Manchester City's locker room, and Messi's jersey was on display.
When media reporters asked Yang Cheng what he thought, he smiled and said it didn't matter.
"They can only keep it until tomorrow evening at best. From tomorrow evening on, we can sleep with it in our arms."
Everyone at the scene burst into laughter.
There is actually no big suspense about the two teams' 18-man rosters.
In Yang Cheng’s previous life, the reason why Guardiola made some incredible decisions before the Champions League final was that he had no idea what was going on.
To put it bluntly, he lacks confidence in a certain part of his team.
Especially the frontcourt.
But now, he has stars such as Messi, Aguero, Reus, David Silva, etc., and he is very strong.
In this case, Guardiola won't mess around.
The atmosphere at Yang Cheng's press conferences is always cheerful.
Of course, it is inevitable that some media reporters will ask some relatively sensitive questions.
But it often happens step by step.
For example, they first asked why the Bayswater Chinese Prudential Stadium did not bid for the Champions League final. This was actually a test.
Whether Yang Cheng answers or not, and the content of his answer, will affect their next questions.
Yang Cheng was very clear about this.
But he still pretended to hesitate, sighed, and smiled bitterly.
"In fact, before I came in, our public relations director and the club's assistant kept telling me to be careful and not to fall into the trap you guys dug."
There was another burst of laughter at the scene.
But Yang Cheng's expression soon turned serious.
“But I still want to talk about it.”
“First of all, I would like to thank the media and fans for their comments on our Prudential Arena. Thank you very much!”
"When our stadium was officially opened, hosting the Champions League final was already on the agenda. As everyone knows, our London Mayor Ken Livingstone said that he would fully support us."
Everyone nodded.
These all made the news at the time.
"Why hasn't it been done in the past few years? There are actually many reasons."
When Yang Cheng reached this point, he deliberately paused, let out a breath, and looked a little embarrassed.
"As everyone knows, UEFA has very high requirements for the stadium hosting the Champions League final, including capacity, hardware and software facilities, broadcasting conditions, the city where the stadium is located, transportation, hotel facilities, etc."
"These are not problems for us, right?"
Everyone nodded.
The Prudential Stadium of Bayswater Chinese is located in the core West End of London, which is the most prosperous and lively area and also has the most convenient transportation.
"Many people even know that during the Champions League final, we need to remove all sponsors' logos in the stadium for about half a month and replace them with sponsors designated by UEFA."
"These are not a problem for us. All our sponsors, including Prudential Insurance, support us in hosting the Champions League final. Even the luminous stadium sign at the top of our stadium and the road sign outside Prudential Plaza will be covered."
“These are not really problems.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel puzzled.
If these are not problems, then what is the problem? "In fact, we have contacted UEFA several times, and their requirements are not only these. They clearly told us that if we want to host this event, our stadium needs to be rectified."
"There are many aspects to be rectified, including some of our stands, our roof, some of our stadium facilities, etc. It is not just a simple venue layout."
"Their request is that they have exclusive use of the stadium during that half month."
"As everyone knows, we now hold various commercial activities in the stadium every month, every week, and even every two or three days. We have signed commercial contracts with others for these activities."
"If we follow UEFA's requirements, we will be in breach of contract and we will need to compensate them for their losses."
"Of course, since we can prepare two years in advance, the loss will be relatively small, but we estimate that it is also a very large amount, at least eight figures."
Eight-digit losses in half a month? Is this stadium so profitable now?
"But guess how much UEFA spent to get the exclusive use of this stadium for half a month?"
Everyone at the scene was silent.
"Including all the renovations, compensation to sponsors and partners, layout around the venue, etc., all of which UEFA only gave a subsidy of 1 million euros, that's all!"
Everyone at the scene cried out in surprise.
Isn't this too stingy? "When we communicated with UEFA, they were very domineering and told us very forcefully that hosting the Champions League final is an honor for any stadium, an honor for the entire city, and an honor for our club..."
"When my colleagues relayed these words, I responded by saying, 'Get lost!'
"We provide the best and most advanced football stadium in the world. We spent several years and more than a billion pounds to build it. The geographical location is also the best in the world, and the city is also the best in the world..."
"And you say from a high position that this is the charity you give us?"
When Yang Cheng said this, he chuckled and stopped talking.
This is why the Bayswater Chinese have been slow to host the Champions League final.
In fact, everyone at the scene understood Yang Cheng’s decision.
The Prudential Stadium, located in the heart of London's West End, does it need these?
Does the city of London need your Champions League final to attract traffic? This was a test, but Yang Cheng said enough.
The media reporters naturally felt his resentment and immediately began to ask questions.
After a few questions, the topic naturally became more and more sensitive.
Finally, the New York Times from the United States asked a topic that interested media around the world.
How does Yang Cheng view the series of farces of FIFA and UEFA in the past period of time? As soon as this question was raised, Yang Cheng immediately laughed.
"The pit you've dug for me is getting bigger and bigger. Look at our PR director, he's been waving his hand at me, telling me not to step into the pit."
Everyone at the scene looked over following Yang Cheng's gesture, but couldn't tell clearly whether anyone was waving their hands or not.
But everyone laughed.
"To be honest, I shouldn't talk about this sensitive topic, and no one is willing to talk about it now."
Everyone nodded.
The world of football is now keeping silent on this topic and trying to protect itself.
"But I think this is wrong!"
Yang Cheng's words perked up everyone present.
"My only feeling about the recent farce directed by FIFA and UEFA is shame!"
"I feel ashamed that no one has dared to speak out their thoughts during this period of time!"
"As far as I know, many of my colleagues and friends are privately very angry and dissatisfied about these things."
"But why don't you dare to say it?"
"Because I'm afraid of retaliation!"
As soon as Yang Cheng said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.
This has been stated very bluntly.
"But I think if we are not satisfied with the current situation, we should take the initiative to stand up, make our voices heard and try to change it, instead of keeping silent."
"I know that many people feel the pressure, and I understand it very well. Even when I walked in here, I promised my colleagues that I would try to restrain myself and not express my opinions."
“But this isn’t right!”
Yang Cheng has been repeatedly emphasizing right and wrong! "I don't understand, things have developed to this point, when all the fans around the world, even those children, know that FIFA and UEFA have made mistakes, and know that Blatter, Platini, Infantino and others are corrupt, why can't anyone control them?"
"In 2015, is there still a place outside the law? Is there really no way to punish them?"
"If so, it's a disgrace to football!"
The scene was completely silent.
Everyone wants Yang Cheng to talk.
But I never expected that he would name it directly and even talk about it so bluntly.
"I watched the Spanish news and saw that during his campaign, Pilar threatened his opponents directly over the phone."
"He said: My referee, my coach..."
"Oh my god, are all these his? Who does he think he is? How dare he speak so brazenly?"
"If it was in my country, anyone who dared to shout so arrogantly would be investigated the next day, but now in Spain, no one has stood up to say anything."
"And Blatter, Valcke, Platini, Infantino..."
"It seems that the law is completely useless to these crazy people."
"I think this is a disgrace, not only to our football community, but also to European law and even to the world's law!"
"Blatter explained that FIFA needed evolution rather than revolution..."
Yang Cheng chuckled and immediately burst out laughing.
"Do you know in which year the Berlin Olympic Stadium we are standing in was built?"
“Construction began in 1934 and was opened in 1936.”
"In the past 80 years, the stadium has undergone two major renovations, including a roof added in 2004 for the World Cup in Germany at a cost of more than 200 million euros."
"But why is it that this stadium has 75,000 seats, but only 70,000 seats are open for the Champions League final and some major events?"
"The reason is simple. The stadium was built with a backward concept at the time. There were many restrictions that led to problems with the current seating arrangements. For example, there are many seats behind the pillars where you can't see the stadium at all."
"So we had to compromise and choose to reduce the number of seats."
"I think the same is true for FIFA and UEFA now."
"Of course they want to keep evolving, hammering and patching, because they are the same people who come and go, and what can this change?"
"It's like the Berlin Olympic Stadium. As long as the main framework of the stadium doesn't change and the pillars are still there, the stadium is destined to be restricted."
Yang Cheng's words actually made his attitude very clear.
For the current FIFA and UEFA, a thorough reform is necessary to break the complicated grouping in the past and create a more transparent FIFA and UEFA! As for the next reform, Yang Cheng also briefly gave some of his preliminary opinions.
For example, it is necessary to restrict the power of the presidents and officials of FIFA and UEFA.
The first thing is to limit their terms of office and reform the electoral system.
As for UEFA, Yang Cheng believes that it should attach importance to the power of the clubs.
Club competitions are the bulk of UEFA's revenue, but not a single club representative can join the UEFA Executive Committee.
Is this reasonable?
There is also the level of financial transparency of FIFA and UEFA.
"I read the report in the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and was shocked that such a huge sum of money, more than 80 million US dollars, fell into the pockets of some people without any notice."
"I would like to ask, are FIFA's financial procedures and oversight systems in vain?"
"Is it the FIFA of the whole world, or is it Blatter's FIFA?"
"And UEFA, is it European football's UEFA, or Platini's UEFA?"
Yang Cheng almost roared his question.
"I am a businessman, but I am also a head coach. Football is the noble cause I have been fighting for my whole life."
"But my concept of football does not include people like Blatter, Valcke, Platini, Infantino and Bilal. I will never accept world football and European football led by such a group of people!"
"I also hope that everyone at FIFA and UEFA can reflect on this."
"Why has no media, no fans, raised questions until now? Are FIFA and UEFA being wronged? Are Blatter, Platini and others innocent?"
"No!"
"Not even one!"
"This in itself is a kind of judgment from the fans!"
"I would also like to take this opportunity to represent myself and the Chinese people in Bayswater to demand that FIFA and UEFA must make thorough changes and come up with a reform plan and timetable as soon as possible!"
"Only by a thorough self-revolution, a complete break with past corruption and dark forces, a determination to burn their boats, accepting the supervision of all media and fans, and exposing power to the sun, can FIFA and UEFA regain the recognition of fans!"
“That’s me and the attitude of the Chinese in Bayswater!”
The entire press conference scene was in complete chaos!
…
Declare war!
This was the news report that was first pushed to fans around the world by Germany's famous football software Onefootball that evening.
The content is Yang Cheng’s press conference at the Berlin Olympic Stadium.
"Everyone who attended the press conference thought it was just the Champions League final."
"But I didn't expect that Yang Cheng's indignant questioning on the spot was more like declaring war on the corrupt elements of FIFA and UEFA!"
The British newspaper The Times also published a commentary at the first opportunity, saying that Yang Cheng's words were obviously suppressed in his heart for a long time, because in the past few years, the Chinese in Bayswater have also been "bullied" by UEFA.
What is most well-known to the world is that UEFA President Platini publicly criticized Gareth Bale before the voting for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, which caused great dissatisfaction to Yang Cheng.
Although the incident ended with Platini's "begging for mercy", the two sides had already formed a grudge.
"Yang Cheng has never been a head coach favored by FIFA and UEFA. For example, he has almost never attended UEFA's elite coaching summits."
"FIFA and UEFA have also held many events, exchanges and even award ceremonies, but Yang Cheng has only attended a few of them."
"Over the past few years, he has been known in the industry as the head coach who is least cooperative with FIFA and UEFA, so his team has received special treatment."
"This time, when the whole world chose to remain silent, it was Yang Cheng who bravely stood up and said what everyone wanted to say but dared not say."
"He said he could only represent himself and the Bayswater Chinese."
"But in fact, he represents all the conscientious football practitioners, football media and fans around the world!"
"Everyone has suffered from FIFA and UEFA for a long time!"
The British Guardian even published a front-page headline with Yang Cheng on the cover.
The title given to him is: hero! The Guardian believes that Yang Cheng's stepping forward represents the conscience of football! "He made no secret of the fact that he is not noble, he is just a businessman and a football coach."
"But it is precisely because of his unsublime nature that he is so precious!"
The Guardian said that Yang Cheng’s call is the voice of countless practitioners in the industry.
But they may have little influence, or may be restricted by various human relationships, or various constraints, which may make them unwilling to stand up and speak.
But Yang Cheng chose to stand up! "Actually, there is another episode."
"After the press conference, UEFA officials came out and asked the hundreds of media reporters at the scene not to publicly report Yang Cheng's remarks. The public relations director of Bayswater Chinese also said anxiously that this would cause big trouble."
"But Yang Cheng stood on the stage and told everyone very confidently, report it!"
"Because he wants fans all over the world to see this darkness, and at the same time, he wants everyone to see that in the dark night, there are still people shining!"
"Football is not dead, there is still hope!"
The New York Times also published a commentary that evening, arguing that the corruption and shady dealings of FIFA and UEFA have already caused great suffering to everyone in the industry.
But everyone dared to be angry but not speak out.
"Yang Cheng played the role of a whistleblower this time!"
"This world-class head coach feels he has an obligation to speak out and say these words."
"Because, if someone at his level doesn't dare to speak out, how can we ask others to speak out?"
"This brave Chinese man chose to declare war on the corrupt FIFA and UEFA!"
"He is going to break the order of international football of the past few decades!"
But many media and fans also believe that it is truly admirable that Yang Cheng stood up and spoke at this moment.
But the outcome could also be very dangerous.
Judging from the usual behavior of Blatter and Platini, Yang Cheng and his Bayswater Chinese are likely to encounter extremely severe suppression or even "special treatment."
"Nothing else, just because he dared to stand up and say these words at this time, I support Yang Cheng! I support the Chinese in Bayswater!"
"That's right, Yang Cheng, well done!"
"Blatter and Platini are really shameless. Do they really think no one can control them?"
"I support Yang Cheng as the president of FIFA to clean up all the dirt and filth!"
"The guy above should be the president of UEFA first. He is more familiar with the European business!"
"Yang Cheng is the most courageous head coach I have ever seen. He dares to confront FIFA and UEFA at this time. He is the first person I sincerely admire!"
“This is the Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese we have been supporting for all these years!”
"Yes, even if we face suppression from FIFA and UEFA, we still support Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater!"
Overnight, all the media and fans around the world were reporting on it.
Yang Cheng's voice spread to every corner of the earth overnight.
He directly made all the scandals of FIFA and UEFA public.
And his appeal has been unanimously recognized and supported by all media and fans.
Yes.
Everyone has always known what FIFA and UEFA, Blatter and Platini and others have done.
But in the past they had no way to punish them or expose them.
But the fans have sharp eyes.
So, as the matter has developed to this point, I really haven't heard even the slightest voice defending them.
This is a kind of judgment! ...
"Crazy! Yang Cheng has gone completely crazy!"
At the FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, Blatter angrily pushed away the stack of documents in front of him, stood up from his seat and roared violently.
"He's in the Champions League final so why is he talking about all this nonsense?"
"What does FIFA and UEFA have to do with him?"
Blatter is indeed quite old, but when he gets angry, he is still very powerful.
After all, he is the "emperor" who has been in charge of world football for more than ten years! Even now, he still does not accept any provocation from anyone.
"Yang Cheng must have done it on purpose, taking advantage of this opportunity. Now the news has spread all over the world overnight, and we can't suppress it even if we want to." Jerome Valk felt helpless.
This is the most troublesome thing! According to Blatter's previous plans, no matter how much he and Platini quarrel, they will have some common interests in the end.
After the results of the FIFA presidential election are announced, the two can sit down and talk again.
At worst, Blatter will quit after completing his new term.
But now, with Yang Cheng's interference, things have suddenly become more complicated.
"What on earth does this bastard want to do by jumping out at this time?" While Blatt was angry, he couldn't help but wonder about Yang Cheng's purpose.
Valcke's eyes flashed with a hint of sternness. "Our initial guess is that it's probably due to his previous grudge with Platini."
"Damn it!" Blatt cursed angrily.
But I don’t know whether he was scolding Yang Cheng or Platini.
"But it doesn't matter. No matter what his purpose is, since he dares to jump out, he must be prepared to accept our anger and punishment."
Blatter took a deep breath and said, "Let him dance for two more days. After two days, the results of the FIFA presidential election will come out and I will be re-elected. Then I will slowly deal with him!"
Although it is difficult for FIFA to directly participate in the work of UEFA, especially the jurisdiction of clubs, if Blatter really wants to deal with Yang Cheng, there are still many ways to do it.
Especially when he asked all his subordinates to take a microscope and slowly examine the Chinese in Bayswater, many problems would be exposed.
As the club in world football that attaches the most importance to legality and compliance, Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese have certainly done their best.
However, many of FIFA's rules and regulations are vague in themselves.
If FIFA can find a few clues, the Chinese in Bayswater will be in big trouble.
"Jerome, go and arrange for some personnel to conduct a thorough study of the Chinese in Bayswater."
As long as he is re-elected, Yang Cheng and his Bayswater Chinese will be the target!
Valk also thought that this should be the case.
…
Platini, Infantino and Bilal arrived in Berlin at noon on the day of the Champions League final.
They heard the news last night and Platini was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.
After arriving in Berlin, I found that the news had spread all over the world.
It has already been widely circulated on the Internet.
This gave Platini a headache.
"This bastard wants to kill me!" The UEFA president was having difficulty breathing as he sat in the car on the way to the hotel.
"I think he came prepared," Infantino said.
"Look at the ideas he came up with. They were not improvised. They were ideas he had thought about before."
"That means this bastard has been wanting to rebel for a long time!" Bilal gritted his teeth.
This news not only involves him, but also his son Gorka Bilal.
Now, his son's future is ruined.
Yang Cheng also mentioned his name yesterday, which made Bilal even more angry.
"What is the attitude of the outside world now?" Platini is more concerned about the general trend.
"I can't see clearly." Infantino shook his head.
"There is panic inside UEFA right now, and many things cannot be carried out. We can only get a preliminary understanding that, at least so far, no one has come out to support Yang Cheng."
"However, I am worried that those big teams are likely to jump out and they will not let go of such an opportunity."
The wealthy teams that Infantino mentioned are those teams from the previous G14.
After being disbanded by UEFA, the European Football Club Association was re-established under UEFA.
Today, the association includes hundreds of clubs across Europe.
But it no longer has the sharpness it had in the past with G14.
However, the previous G14 teams are still very troublesome and cause trouble for UEFA from time to time.
"Now that Yang Cheng is taking the lead, these guys may be unable to hold back."
A ruthless look flashed in Platini's eyes.
"But it doesn't matter. We were able to kill them once, and now we can kill them a second time."
"Keep a close eye on their every move. Any team, no matter who they are, that dares to show up at this time, don't blame me for finding an opportunity to deal with them!"
At this point, Platini also glanced at Bilal and said, "You should also tell the two Spanish teams not to cause trouble at this time, understand?"
Bilal certainly knew who Platini was talking about.
Real Madrid and Barcelona.
At this moment, Infantino suddenly received a call and only heard a series of "hmm-hmm" responses.
After hanging up, he looked at Platini with a serious expression.
"I just received news that a brief press conference was held at 10 Downing Street in London, England."
Platini closed his eyes and frowned even tighter.
"What did you say?"
"A spokesperson for the British Prime Minister's Office said that they support the reasonable demands of Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater, and demand that FIFA and UEFA give an explanation to fans around the world as soon as possible and conduct a thorough rectification and reform of themselves."
"Damn it!" Platini cursed with gritted teeth.
This is the first national government to come out and express support for Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater.
But actually, if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising.
Why? Because the British government has long been extremely dissatisfied with FIFA and UEFA.
In the past few years, the chairman of the English Football Association has been replaced one after another because of the issue of the bid for the 2018 World Cup.
The British government is furious that FIFA and UEFA backed Russia to host the 2018 World Cup instead of Britain.
Now, it is normal for them to stand up and support Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese.
After all, Bayswater Chinese is a top Premier League club! "In addition, Downing Street 10 revealed that Prime Minister Cameron changed his schedule temporarily and will attend the Champions League final tonight."
Needless to say, this is a strong support for Yang Cheng and the Bayswater Chinese! In addition to the Mayor of London and the British royal family who have already confirmed their participation, it is estimated that the English Football Association, the Premier League, and the Ministry of Sports will also express their views one after another.
Yang Cheng's fire really burned! "It's time to cease fire with Blatter." Platini sighed and said lightly.
"Now, we need to join forces with Bulat and eliminate the internal traitors first!"
At the end, Platini was almost gritting his teeth.
Right now, he wished he could tear Yang Cheng into pieces.
…
"Yang Cheng is playing with fire!"
In the chairman's office at the Bernabeu Stadium in Spain, Florentino also saw the latest news.
British Prime Minister Cameron made a sudden decision to go to the Berlin Olympic Stadium to watch the Champions League final.
Moreover, a spokesperson for 10 Downing Street has made it clear that it supports Yang Cheng and the Bayswater Chinese.
Anyone can see that this is equivalent to putting a layer of armor on Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater.
"Is it useful?" Jose Sanchez asked with concern.
Florentino shook his head. "It's hard to say. No one knows."
"Should we still hold a press conference to support them?" Jose Sanchez asked again.
Florentino shook his head. "We have already waited until now and missed the opportunity. Let's just wait and see."
After a pause, Florentino sighed with some emotion and regret.
"I didn't expect that Yang Cheng, who usually keeps a low profile, would suddenly bring us such a big surprise this time. He really played a big trick this time!"
Jose Sanchez was a little confused. "President, is it really okay for him to come out and confront FIFA and UEFA?"
"Even if they have the support of the British government, it will be difficult for them to withstand the joint suppression from FIFA and UEFA, right?"
Not to mention anything else, if you make a mistake, you will be given a heavy fine and will not be able to transfer or recruit new players for two or three years. Can the Chinese at Bayswater still maintain their status as a wealthy club?
The key point is that as long as Blatter and Platini don't fall, another fine will be issued in two or three years.
If they keep playing like this, the Chinese in Bayswater will be killed sooner or later.
Yang Cheng has not only offended Blatter and Platini, but also all the old forces headed by them.
This group of people all share a common interest.
Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents! "The risk is indeed very high, but the reward is also great. Look at it now, almost the whole world is following him and the Bayswater Chinese, and he has won all the praise and applause."
"As long as he can withstand the revenge that follows, he will truly be deified!"
Florentino saw that Jose Sanchez was still a little confused, so he smiled.
"Do you know why Real Madrid has always been recognized as the most special and top club in Europe?"
José Sánchez didn't quite understand and shook his head.
"60 years ago, we took the lead and led many European teams to resist UEFA and established the European Champions Cup!"
As the general manager of Real Madrid, Jose Sanchez certainly knows this history.
"Many people are talking about the foundation of a wealthy family. This is the foundation!"
"We have been the leaders of European football for 60 years. After the establishment of the Champions League, we won five consecutive titles and became the undisputed top club."
"Since then, day by day, step by step, we have become the Real Madrid we are today!"
"But in the final analysis, it's still about that rebellion 60 years ago."
“This is a heritage, a consensus, and even a habit!”
When Florentino said this, a look of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"Now, Yang Cheng and his Bayswater Chinese are doing what President Santiago Bernabéu did 60 years ago."
It is also something I want to do, but hesitate to do.
Florentino felt a little lost.
This was something that Real Madrid should have done.
José Sánchez immediately understood what the chairman meant.
60 years ago, Real Madrid took the lead in the resistance, winning five consecutive Champions League titles and becoming the top club.
60 years later, the Chinese in Bayswater took the lead in the resistance. Now they have won three consecutive Champions League titles and are aiming for a fourth consecutive title. They also want to build the world's top club.
The difference is that 60 years ago, due to limitations in communication and broadcasting media, Real Madrid was the top club in Europe.
But now, the Chinese in Bayswater want to build the world's top club.
"Right now, all the flowers and applause have been given to Yang Cheng and his Bayswater Chinese. Even if we show up now, we are just clinging to the scales. Let's wait a little longer."
Florentino also felt a little helpless when he said this.
From a personal perspective, he really hopes that Yang Cheng and the Bayswater Chinese can succeed and withstand the subsequent series of retaliations from FIFA and UEFA.
This is a good thing for everyone.
But personally, he is quite complicated.
Because he always felt that this was something that should be done by him and Real Madrid.
But no matter what, he had to admit that Yang Cheng played this move very beautifully.
FIFA and UEFA were completely unable to resist!
But can he and his team really withstand the crazy revenge that will follow? (End of this chapter)
