"Okay, Franz, then let me share my humble opinion." Zhuang Mingge didn't talk nonsense, and said the plan he had considered a long time ago.

"First of all, our top priority is to fix the AFC, because compared to the African Football Federation, they can recognize the situation better, instead of blindly indulging in the lies woven by Blatter. As long as we expose Blatter's promises It’s just a dead letter, and if we offer some conditions that are favorable to them, I believe the AFC will fall to our side.”

"So, what kind of conditions should we come up with to allow the AFC to join us?" Beckenbauer raised a question. During this period, few people in European football took the initiative to understand regions outside the continent. People like Zhuang Mingge who have established a good relationship with the Qatar Football Association early and know a lot about Asian football are even rarer.

Therefore, in Beckenbauer's view, Zhuang Mingge's views are obviously more professional than his own.

"The most important point is to let the people in the AFC understand that without the support of Europe, they will not be able to get three places." Zhuang Mingge shook his finger and said, "Let's do the math, South America is The back garden of FIFA, so there is no need to count on the 4.5 places; the same is true for the three places in North America; Africa has had a lot of trouble with FIFA because of the unauthorized change of the host of the World Youth Championship. , so in order to appease the emotions of Africa, even if Blatter was killed, he would not dare to take the idea of ​​those five places..."

"In this way, if Blatter intends to allocate a quota for Asia, then he must poach a quota from our European side!" Hearing this, Beckenbauer couldn't understand the meaning of Zhuang Mingge's words, and immediately He took it smoothly.

"Bingo!" Zhuang Mingge snapped his fingers proudly, and said, "These quotas are in the hands of us in Europe, how can Blatter have the ability to pull his teeth from us? As long as the AFC recognizes Blatter's promise It’s just a blank check, and at the same time, we promise to the other party that after President Johansson wins the election, he will distribute 0.5 European places to them, and I believe that the AFC will definitely agree to cooperate with us.”

"Well, this idea is really good." Beckenbauer has no objection to Zhuang Mingge's proposal to actively allocate 0.5 places to Asia. The result of 2.5 places, thus standing on our side; and this is not a big problem for us in Europe, because even if some unlucky guy accidentally falls into the play-offs, Europe still has a big advantage in terms of skills and tactics , Winning the game is not a problem."

"After getting the support of the AFC, we will join them to find those Africans. Then Africa will understand that without the support of the executive committees of the two continents, Europe and Asia, it is impossible for them to win the 2006 World Cup. In this way, Bradley's trump card in winning over Africa has become a waste of paper. In order to successfully host the World Cup, Africa must stand on the same front with the two major football federations of Europe and Asia, otherwise they may even I can't pass the first round of qualifying for the World Cup."

"As for the conditions we set out... we might as well agree and support South Africa's bid to host the 2010 World Cup on the grounds that the relevant infrastructure is relatively backward. At the same time, in order for football to flourish around the world, Europe can be the host of the event. The South African Football Association provides some economic and technical support." Zhuang Mingge, who felt a little parched, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued, "In addition, UEFA can also come forward to call for more European Clubs go to Africa to open football schools."

"First use actual interests to persuade the Asian Football Federation, which holds a lot of votes in FIFA, and then unite to put pressure on Africa, forcing the other party to form an alliance with us, so as to achieve the goal of winning the right to host the World Cup." Beckenbauer's eyes became brighter and brighter, "It's a good plan, Antonio."

"Hehe, you're too proud of the award. This is just my preliminary idea. As for how to implement it, you and Chairman Johansson need to personally check it out. I can't do anything about it."

"Haha, if you let your kid do everything ahead of time, wouldn't we old fellows lose face?" Beckenbauer laughed and patted Zhuang Mingge on the shoulder, and said, "Anyway, thank you this time You, Antonio."

"Frantz, it's too extravagant to say thank you. At this time, helping you is like helping myself." Zhuang Mingge replied with a smile.

"Although that's what I said, but Antonio, your contribution is absolutely indelible."

"By the way, Franz, if President Johansson wins the election this time, who should take over the post of UEFA President?" After completing the main task of this meeting, Zhuang Mingge felt relaxed. Suddenly remembered another question, so I asked.

"Successor? I remember that Johansson is now more interested in letting Olsen take over his position. After all, Olsen and Aigner (UEFA CEO) have cooperated since 92. In terms of work ability and In terms of interpersonal relationships, they are all top-notch, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”

"But, can the French executive committee member agree so easily?" Zhuang Mingge asked unceremoniously, "The fame and reputation in the football world far exceeds that of Olsen. The practice of appointing a successor by the chairman, I am afraid that UEFA will hold a presidential election."

Of course, Beckenbauer knew exactly who Zhuang Mingge was referring to in his heart, and he also knew the political ambitions of the former French superstar. Therefore, the football emperor was unable to answer Zhuang Mingge's rhetorical question for a while.

"It's better like this, Franz." Zhuang Mingge, who saw the other party falling into a state of silence and knew that the other party must have made an optimism mistake in planning, made another suggestion, "After Mr. Johansson was successfully elected as the president of FIFA , you can nominate Olsen to take over the post of UEFA president at the UEFA internal general meeting. If everyone accepts it, then it’s all because I’m worrying; but if someone objects, and insists on passing all members If the National Football Association votes to elect the UEFA president..."

"If that's the case, then what should we do?" Beckenbauer asked hastily. Although he knew that the probability of such a thing happening was very small, he couldn't rule it out.

"Then, Franz, I'm afraid that only you can personally announce your participation in the election, and you will be able to calm down the group of restless young people." Zhuang Mingge said these words as he looked at the football emperor who was naked.

"……What?!"
