The Era of Emerald

( ) European football club summit?what is that?

This was the first thought that popped into Zhuang Mingge's mind after receiving Fan Prager's invitation.

Wait, just now Van Prager said that this meeting is to continue the topic that was not discussed before?How come we Florence are not invited?

After listening to Van Prager's explanation, Zhuang Mingge knew that almost a month ago, ten European players including AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern, and Ajax Yu's wealthy club held a manager-level club summit.The main topic of discussion at that meeting was how to better protect the club's own interests in the face of increasingly acute conflicts with UEFA and other higher-level organizations after the Bosman era came.

Although Fiorentina rose strongly last season, it is obviously not enough to look at these giants with a glorious history. Therefore, representatives of the Fiorentina club were not invited to the manager summit that time.

However, that meeting did not achieve any substantive results, otherwise there would not be this invitation to Zhuang Mingge.

According to the words of the general manager of a certain club who attended that meeting, it was: "The topics to be discussed in this meeting are too important. any decision regarding the

This time Zhuang Mingge was invited to participate in this meeting because of the favor of two friendly clubs, Ajax and Inter Milan. Boss Mo learned that only representatives from three clubs in Europe’s No. [-] Serie A league attended the manager’s summit. , and the Premier League, which is still struggling, was able to send a group of down-and-out giants including Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa to participate in that meeting. The first recommendation is Florence, which has the best relationship with me.

Seeing Inter Milan's statement, Juventus and AC Milan, which are also Italian teams, are naturally not easy to openly disrupt the stage. They just recommend a few Serie A teams that have also performed well in recent years, such as Parma and Samp. Doria and more.

As the initiator and organizer of this summit, Ajax Club, Van Prager is naturally quite willing to bring Florence, a club that is quite friendly to him, into this meeting. An ally often has the unexpected effect.

The giants in the other major leagues are also very dissatisfied with the Premier League teams that occupy multiple seats in the manager's meeting. The only players in your Premier League that have excelled in the European arena over the years are Arsenal and Manchester United, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa. The second-tier team actually still has the face to participate in this level of meeting, and still don't take us seriously?

Under this mentality, Moratti's proposal will naturally not be obstructed by giants other than the England team, and the proposal to expand the scale of the meeting was passed smoothly.

"I'm very glad to be invited to this meeting. I will arrive in Amsterdam on time on the day of the meeting. Thank you very much for your kind invitation, Chairman Van Prager." Although I don't know why Florence will be selected to participate This meeting was held by European giants, but Zhuang Mingge knew in his heart that with Florence's current accumulation, it was impossible to gain much say in this level of meeting. The conflicts and contradictions of interests have gained some benefits for Florence.

……

At the Amsterdam International Airport, the chairman of the Ajax Club, Van Prager, stood at the exit of the airport with a focused expression, ready to welcome a "VIP" he had been waiting for for a long time.

As the host of this European Club Owners Summit, the Ajax club at this time has attracted countless attentions from all over the world. an honor.

As far as van Prager himself is concerned, he would rather not have this hypocritical glory. He originally did not want this significant summit of European club owners to be held in Amsterdam, where the Ajax club is located.After all, there is an old saying that shoots the first bird, and holding such a meeting in Amsterdam that is clearly opposed to UEFA, Ajax, the "early bird", is likely to be the first to be hit by the furious UEFA.

However, van Prager was powerless to change the resolution, even though he himself was the initiator of the summit.

After all, in order to get rid of the various crises facing the club as soon as possible, Van Prager must tie the shaky Ajax to the plane belonging to the traditional European giants as soon as possible.

"Chariot of interests".Therefore, more than a month ago, Ajax took the lead in proposing to hold a summit of European giants clubs.However, Van Prager knew in his heart that his proposal was completely in line with the real thinking of those European giants, and those giants just pushed the boat along with the flow and put on a stance of hitting it off.

Van Prager, who played a game of intrigue, had to sigh in front of the decision that he was powerless to change, these rich and powerful bosses are really not so easy to fool.

What makes Van Prager, the new chairman of Ajax who took office at a time of crisis, feel gratified but helpless is that in this soon-to-be-formed common interest group of European giants, Ajax, who has gradually moved away from the reality of European giants Jax is just regarded as a high-level supporting role willing to be driven, but the real "protagonist" among them has protected himself very well in the new division of interests after the football storm.

In the heart of the Ajax chairman, although the Fiorentina represented by Zhuang Mingge does not have enough right to speak in European football, judging from the rapid development momentum after the club changed hands, Viola will soon Will definitely occupy a place in this community of interests!This is also one of the reasons why Van Prager tried his best to make friends with Florence. After all, the effect of giving charcoal in the snow is always better than icing on the cake.

And by that time, Ajax, who is a "senior supporting role" in this league, can also rely on the friendly relationship with Fiorentina to gain more benefits in the future, instead of being kicked out of this league by those big shots. circle.

"Oh, Chairman Corleone, it's an honor to see you again! Welcome to Amsterdam!" Van Prager just recovered from his thoughts, and found that the target he came to greet this time had appeared in front of him.
