Chapter 331: Bombarding UEFA! Atletico Madrid’s summer signing list [a big chapter with words, please beg to subscribe]

There is a saying circulating in European football: Youth training supports the lower limit, while stars exceed the upper limit.

This is experience accumulated over many years.

Everyone knows that stars cannot be cultivated simply through youth training, because talent has always been a rare commodity that can be encountered but not sought.

Throughout the ages, it has been extremely rare for any team to be able to cultivate stars in batches.

Just like the Milan Dynasty, Van Gaal's Ajax, or Yang Hao's La Masia in his previous life.

For example, during Real Madrid's Five Eagles era, they were said to have won five consecutive La Liga titles and were invincible, but it was difficult to achieve results in the Champions League.

As the top competition in world football, the intensity of the Champions League is difficult to match in domestic leagues.

Even in a fiercely competitive league like La Liga, except for a few strong dialogues, the intensity of the game is still not as intense as the Champions League knockout rounds.

Yang Hao even thought that if Barcelona had not met Messi by chance in the previous life, maybe they would have given birth to the era of Real Madrid's Five Eagles, and would not have been able to reach the level of the Cosmos team in the previous life.

The more you understand football in-depth, the more you can appreciate the importance of superstars like Messi, Kaká, and Ronaldo.

But this conventional theory in European football has been completely broken in recent years.

Because there is a team that is constantly subverting traditional understanding.

That's Atletico Madrid!

Over the years, the biggest excitement that the Sheets Legion has brought to European football is that they seem to be able to cultivate stars in batches.

Mahadahonda's stars are like leeks in the garden. Once they are cut, another one will grow soon.

Everyone was shocked because there had never been a team like Atletico Madrid.

They began to study Atletico Madrid crazily, and even derived various theories and formulas to study why Atletico Madrid could do it?

Many fans are poaching people from Atletico Madrid, and some employees of Atletico Madrid have also been selling their own ideas and experiences after working for a period of time, just like selling success tips, and have received a lot of feedback. The team's popularity.

Everyone wants to replicate Atletico Madrid's success.

However, so far, we have not seen a second successful Atletico Madrid team.

Not even a hint.

Someone asked Yang Hao, why can't others succeed?

Yang Hao smiled and said that Atletico Madrid never relies on one person, but on the team.

It’s true for players, it’s true for coaches, it’s true for clubs.

But only he knows in his heart that these are all nonsense!

Why is Atletico successful?

This is a secret that Yang Hao can never tell anyone!

But this does not prevent Atletico Madrid from standing there like a mountain, letting other peers in European football look up to them.

Every club and everyone wants to study Atletico Madrid and find the password to success.

Only the core team members of Atletico Madrid, after years of interactions and countless reviews of successes and failures, could they vaguely grasp some clues.

Yang Hao!

Every success of Atletico Madrid does come from the team, but behind the team, it is often inseparable from Yang Hao's promotion and decision-making, from the youth training reform, management system reform, to globalization strategy, to now... …

Everything is inseparable from Yang Hao's decision-making!

But these can only be felt by those leaders who now hold core positions in various departments.

Because they had contact with Yang Hao.

Precisely because of this, Yang Hao's influence spreads to every corner of Atletico Madrid and falls on everyone.

……

The season is over.

Arsene Wenger's Real Madrid beat Manchester United 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Wenger finally got his dream Champions League!

That night, Wenger burst into tears at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

When being interviewed by media reporters, Wenger's choked sobs touched countless fans around the world.

He has been pursuing it all his life and finally got it!

Ronaldo scored twice and became Real Madrid's best star in the final.

Florentino is also very excited. This is his first Champions League title since taking charge of Real Madrid!

It has been 9 years since he took office as Real Madrid chairman!

It took him a full 9 years to win his first Champions League!

Florentino even came off the field in person and celebrated with the Real Madrid players on the field.

Yang Hao did not go to Roma to watch the game, but he felt the excitement from his rivals in the same city.

Yesterday, when Real Madrid returned to Madrid holding the Champions League, the whole city was boiling.

After La Liga and the Champions League, the next step is the Confederations Cup for the national team.

Spain drew South Africa, Iraq and New Zealand and had good luck in drawing, but it is not difficult to advance.

Yang Hao gave the players a week's rest, and then the team will go to South Africa for final preparations.

And he also needs to take this opportunity to do something good.

Not just Atletico’s, but others too.

……

"This is a list of signings for this summer's youth training camp jointly drawn up by our scouting department and youth training department."

Mendiodo and Caminero came to Yang Hao's office together.

This list includes signings from the second team and the youth echelon.

Now, Yang Hao actually rarely participates in youth training camp signings.

It's not that he is lazy, but that Atletico Madrid's ecological niche is different now.

Signing, especially signings from the youth academy, is not about greed for too much, nor is it about piling up future stars.

A very important point is, is this player suitable for Atletico Madrid's current football style?

Also, after coming to Atletico Madrid, which age group will he enter? In this age group, will he get enough competition opportunities and training?

For example, Lewandowski.

As soon as the Polish player born in 1988 became famous in the Polish league, Atletico Madrid's scouting network paid attention to him, and Yang Hao also got the news, but there was no way, Atletico Madrid had Suarez.

A team like Atletico Madrid must ensure that there are at least three powerful centers on the front line. This needs to prevent some injuries, as well as substitutes during the game.

The current configuration of Atletico Madrid is actually very good.

Drogba and Torres rotated and competed, with Suarez coming on as a substitute.

Suarez also played a lot of time in La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey last season and scored a lot of goals.

In two years' time, Drogba will be old and Suarez will step in directly.

At this time, Atletico Madrid needs to add another center.

So what if Lewandowski is signed again at this time?

After selling Drogba, they relied on young Suarez and Lewandowski, which was somewhat insufficient.

If not sold, then there will be four centers, and their playing time will be affected.

Therefore, signings and buying people are not simply a matter of buying whoever you like.

But there will be exceptions.

For example, Neymar.

Atletico Madrid have been eyeing the Brazilian talent since he emerged, but Neymar's father is shrewd.

"Most of the wealthy clubs in Europe are eyeing him. He is not in a hurry now. He feels like he is waiting for a price." Mendiodo shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Brazilian players cannot leave Brazil until they are 18 years old. Neymar is only 17 now and will have to wait until at least next summer.

Therefore, Neymar and his son are now a rare commodity.

Yang Hao was not surprised either.

In the list they submitted, Yang Hao also saw a few familiar names.

French midfielder Paul Pogba, who plays for the Le Havre U17 youth team as deputy captain of Ligue this season.

Nowadays, Yang Hao has developed the skill of keeping his emotions and anger hidden. Even when he saw Pogba's name, his face remained as usual, and he casually chatted with Mendiodo and Caminero about this young man. midfield.

At the same time, he also checked some of Pogba's game videos and scouting reports in the database.

Pogba was discovered by Atletico Madrid scouts during the French U16 national youth team game, and he currently does not have a professional contract with Le Havre.

Le Havre was also relegated from Ligue 1 this season.

"We have been following him for a long time. This player has great potential. From childhood to adulthood, he has shown outstanding strength in all age groups. Not only is he physically very strong, but his skills with his feet are also quite good."

"However, the trouble is that many wealthy teams, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Real Madrid, are interested in him."

"Both of us have visited him personally and talked to his parents, but they haven't made a decision yet. It is said that Ferguson took action personally."

Having said this, Mendiodo and Caminero both looked up at Yang Hao.

Yang Hao noticed what they meant.

Ferguson took action personally, and the two of them would definitely not be able to handle it.

If Yang Hao also takes action personally, the possibility of snatching Paul Pogba will be even greater.

For Pogba, there is no doubt about his strength, but he was far from meeting the expectations of the outside world in Yang Hao's previous life.

All this is because after he left Manchester United, he chose to return to Manchester United.

In those years, Manchester United was in a period of turmoil, and the management had serious problems in terms of recruitment and team management.

As Yang Hao said just now, youth training is the lower limit, and stars are the upper limit. This is the consensus.

But in those years, many of Manchester United's strange practices were strange.

It is very unimaginable that a superstar like Pogba cannot be reused in the Manchester United team and cannot play his best position.

Let's put it this way, Messi's goals have increased sharply this season, and Atletico Madrid's offensive firepower has increased dramatically. Why?

Many people may say that Messi has matured and improved.

Yes, that's not entirely true.

In the final analysis, the key factor is that Yang Hao now fixes Messi at the front of the penalty area.

Both Kaka and Alves are adapting to Messi's style of play.

Taking the ball in this area, Messi can maximize his threat.

Therefore, Messi often only needs to devote all his energy to one thing in Atletico Madrid's offensive system.

Get the ball near the penalty area and attack into the penalty area after getting the ball.

This is what Messi does best.

On the other hand, Messi’s organizational and passing abilities are also very strong, right?

What if he is brought back to play as a playmaker?

He stayed away from the penalty area. Doesn't this expose Messi's shortcomings?

Under such circumstances, can Messi still perform as well as he does now?

Teams and stars often complement each other.

Messi's outstanding performance cannot be separated from the team, and the team needs Messi to use his personal abilities to create threats in the penalty area.

What Manchester United did to Pogba was to keep Pogba away from the role he was most threatening and good at, and to play a role he was not so good at.

Coupled with a series of other messy things, Pogba was completely abandoned at Manchester United.

How good is Pogba?

Among the attacking midfielders born in the 90s, they are definitely among the top three in the world.

No matter how you arrange it, there will always be a place for Pogba.

"You guys make arrangements and I'll take a trip." Yang Hao agreed to the request of Mendiodo and others.

After a pause, he added: "It's best these two days."

Both Mendiodo and Caminero agreed with a smile.

……

Not all young players will want to join Atletico Madrid.

For example, in the Lens U16 youth team that won the French U16 Championship last season, the most outstanding central defender was Raphael Varane.

The central defender rejected Atletico Madrid on the grounds that he had no idea of ​​going abroad to play football yet and he was still studying.

He truly deserves to be a top student!

Mendiodo told Yang Hao that the scouting team will also pay close attention to Varane's movements.

The reason for trying to sign Varane is that the second team currently needs a central defender.

"Central defender..."

Yang Hao caught the words of Mendiodo and Caminero, entered the database, and soon found a person in the U17 youth team of Willem II in the Eredivisie.

Virgil van Dijk!

The future No. 1 central defender in the world is in a miserable state now, it can even be said to be very miserable.

He joined Willem II from a club in Breda in 2001. When he was in the youth team, he was relatively short and not very fast. He played as a forward and occasionally as a right back.

Due to his poor family, he has always been relatively thin, which has made his presence in William II never good. He still does not have a professional contract and has always been a youth training player.

So on weekdays, he had to do some part-time jobs to supplement his family income.

Because of this, his training was often delayed, resulting in his not being in a good situation at the Willem II youth training camp.

But since the age of 17, his body has grown rapidly.

This made him look thinner and fixed his position as a central defender.

"Do you like him?" Mendiodo and Caminero were both puzzled.

This is a player that even Atletico Madrid scouts don't pay much attention to, they just collect information about him.

"I specially watched some video of the Willem II U17 game. This kid has no outstanding performance, and he is not a formal defender. He used to play as a forward."

"It's good to play forward." Yang Hao said with a smile.

"Playing as a forward proves that he has excellent foot skills. Thiago Silva does not play as a defender. In addition, he is of African descent. His body looks very thin now, but he is definitely not slow in practice and his strength is not bad in confrontation. , This aspect is not a big problem, plus the skills and awareness from the frontcourt, you think about it.”

Mendiodo and Caminero both agree on this.

The body can really be trained very quickly, especially if you have an African ancestry body, it simply doesn't have to be too strong.

In Yang Hao's previous life, a very important reason why Van Dijk was considered a late bloomer was that he was a monk halfway through.

At the age of 18, he switched to playing central defender, but he went to Groningen when he didn't get a chance.

He only became the main player in Groningen at the age of 20, went to the Scottish Premiership at the age of 22, and went to Southampton in the Premier League at the age of 24.

The so-called late bloomer is mostly compared to talented defenders like Ramos and Kompany.

But on the other hand, if Kompany had not left Hamburg and joined Manchester City in 2008 because of the Olympics, would he have been buried as Hamburg sank?

"To be honest, I quite like this kind of defender who is a mid-career. He has good foot skills and excellent personal abilities. If he works hard, he will definitely have a chance!" Yang Hao said with a smile.

Mendiodo and Caminero thought about it and were convinced by Yang Hao.

They really trust Yang Hao's vision, and Van Dijk is indeed cheap now.

For Atletico Madrid, it is almost negligible.

……

Yang Hao has a youth training report from youth training director Manolo Jimenez.

In this report, Jimenez summarized some of the main situations and problems in Atletico Madrid’s youth training camps of various age groups in the past period. One point mentioned among them is that in the age groups of 14 to 17, Atletico Madrid’s right backs There are obvious shortcomings.

The youth training director told Yang Hao that judging from the current situation of Atletico Madrid's first team, Daniel Alves was born in 1983 and Zabaleta was born in 1985, but the former is the main player and the latter is a substitute.

Zabaleta's strength is good, but he is still not enough to meet Atletico Madrid's main requirements.

On the whole, Daniel Alves' peak period can be maintained until around 2015, when he is 32 years old.

At this point in time, Atletico Madrid's youth training camp has no suitable candidates to take over.

Originally, the team wanted to poach Carvajal. He was born in 92. By around 2015, he could just fill Alves' position. Moreover, he was trained in the local youth training and had great potential.

But Carvajal was given the early lead by Real Madrid. Achraf Hakimi was born in 1998 and was only 2015 years old in 17. He was still too young.

Therefore, Manolo Jimenez suggested that the scouting team should start looking for right back candidates of this age group.

This is part of the job of a youth training manager.

Yang Hao handed the report to Mendiodo and Caminero and asked them to prepare well.

He couldn't help but think of one thing, that is, there will indeed be a shortage of right backs in the next few years.

This was a common problem in European football at the time.

Full-back attacking tactics are popular, and at this age, good right-backs are really nervous.

Atletico Madrid's current tactical play is very stable and will be adhered to in the foreseeable future. Only detailed modifications will be made within this framework, so the full-backs are still very important.

Mendiodo and Caminero both understood what Yang Hao meant.

"We'll keep an eye out and come up with a list as soon as possible."

Yang Hao nodded and asked them to hurry up and do it.

After seeing off the two important members of the scouting department, Yang Hao also put down the work at hand, walked to the window, and looked out at the training ground, but his mind was no longer here.

Over the past few days, Atletico Madrid has been brewing something.

Or rather, several things.

After Atletico Madrid was "blackballed" out of the Champions League by UEFA, Yang Hao did nothing except refuse to attend the post-match press conference in protest.

Atletico Madrid also appealed Yang Hao's red card, but it was rejected.

Everything was calm after that, and everyone felt that Atletico Madrid seemed to have accepted the result.

But really?

Everyone knew in their hearts that Drogba's red card was normal, and the Ivorian was indeed out of his mind.

After the game, he himself admitted to Yang Hao that he was really annoyed by Vidic's stare. In anger, after being provoked by Vidic's words, he subconsciously took action.

But Yang Hao's red card was definitely unjust.

In the past few years, especially the last three or four years, as La Liga has become more and more powerful in the Champions League, UEFA has become more and more targeted towards La Liga.

Don't look at Platini's constant imitation of Atletico Madrid. Why should he learn from Atletico Madrid? In fact?

This guy is famous for being a talker and a swordsman!

Everyone thinks that he is an Atletico Madrid fan, but when it comes to Atletico Madrid, he will never show mercy.

It's been a few years, is Atletico Madrid's luck in the draw?

Has the Spanish national team had any luck in the draw?

Have La Liga teams been wronged less in European football over the years?

But it's no use!

Since the disbandment of G14, Platini has won a great victory and his momentum has reached its peak. UEFA is now his voice.

Yang Hao jumped out at this time, what could he say?

The referee said that he felt Yang Hao was scolding him.

In the end, didn't it just turn into Liu Zi having to prove how many bowls of noodles he had eaten?

Besides, what's the use of tormenting a referee?

No matter if it is Yang Hao or Atletico Madrid, what can they do if they jump out and shout a few words?

For UEFA, the biggest problem is that the referee made a misjudgment, and he will be punished if he deserves it!

How to do the next thing you can do.

Teams such as the Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 will not see any problem with this.

Suppressing La Liga will have many short-term benefits for them.

Even for many Premier League teams, they would be extremely happy if Atletico Madrid jumped too far and were directly banned for a long time.

The best thing is to ban Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia from La Liga.

Teams such as Sevilla, Villarreal and Deportivo La Coruna are also banned.

Then the Champions League and UEFA Cup are "intense"!

La Liga is by no means a vegetarian either.

Especially Atletico Madrid now.

With the appeal and influence of La Liga within La Liga, coupled with UEFA's "special care" for La Liga in the past few seasons, it is absolutely false for La Liga teams to say that they have no objections to UEFA.

After the Champions League semi-finals, Yang Hao communicated with Cerezo, Xiao Hill, and the heads of various departments of the club. He temporarily took this breath, but Cerezo began to secretly communicate with Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, and Sevilla. Contact teams such as Villarreal and Deportivo La Coruña.

Today, in the center of Madrid, at the La Liga headquarters, the board of directors is meeting in full swing.

20 La Liga and 22 La Liga teams, as well as La Liga bosses and Spanish Football Association bosses, including chairman Bilal, all attended the meeting.

There is only one topic at this meeting, which is to negotiate the abolition of a previous agreement of understanding on tournament arrangements signed by La Liga and UEFA.

In the eyes of fans, this should be a trivial matter.

It’s not a strike, so what’s the use?

But once passed, it will set off huge waves throughout European football.

Many people from Atletico Madrid were present. In addition to chairman Cerezo and general manager Xiao Hill, there were also marketing director Carlos Leo and a team of lawyers.

During the past period, Atletico Madrid's legal team has been studying and facilitating this meeting.

Yang Hao was very patient and sat in the office waiting silently.

UEFA has never been clean. After Platini came to power, his suppression of the four major leagues was also obvious.

But the cake of the Champions League is so rich that many teams dare not speak out against UEFA.

Especially after the G14 was settled, UEFA became even more arrogant and arrogant.

Suppressing La Liga has become a very obvious fact.

In this case, La Liga should unite and communicate unanimously!

In Yang Hao's previous life, Real Madrid and Barcelona could not unite La Liga at all.

But things are different now. La Liga now has a basis for unity.

The league is fundamental, we don’t need the Champions League!

But the question is, can the Champions League do without La Liga?

While Yang Hao was waiting patiently, his cell phone on his desk suddenly rang.

Caller ID: Xiao Hill.

As soon as the connection was connected, Xiao Hill calmly said three words, "Passed!"

……

La Liga's official announcement quickly caused a huge earthquake in European football.

This organization, which has become more and more influential in recent years after running La Liga, officially announced that it would consider abolishing the tournament arrangement agreement signed with UEFA after receiving the consent of 42 directors.

"Yes, we signed the agreement before, but after a period of coordination, it has had a very big impact on our La Liga domestic leagues, cup matches, and national team matches. We are re-examining whether It is necessary to continue to implement this understanding agreement.”

“As a member of European professional football, we will continue to support and cooperate with UEFA’s work, but as managers of La Liga and La Liga, we must consider the interests of the 42 teams in La Liga and La Liga and the Spanish fans. .”

The press officer of La Liga announced the result at a press conference and stated that this is by no means a confrontation between La Liga and UEFA, but that European competitions have indeed seriously affected the arrangements of the Spanish Professional League.

What are the specific impacts?

"The Copa del Rey is the most important traditional competition in our country, but in the past few years, we have been adapting to European competitions, which has resulted in them having to compress the Copa del Rey competition very much, and the competition format has been adjusted and changed."

"Our domestic fans are very vocal about this, and sponsors have also been protesting. After consultations, we agreed that it is necessary to reconsider the schedule."

This official announcement from La Liga quickly detonated the UEFA football world.

The so-called understanding agreement on event arrangements is, to put it bluntly, a requirement put forward by UEFA to its affiliated associations. No domestic events shall be arranged on the match days of the Champions League and UEFA Cup.

The one who has the biggest objection to this agreement is the Premier League.

There are two cup competitions in the Premier League. Among them, the FA Cup is always scheduled on the weekend due to tradition.

In order to accommodate the European war, the Premier League must extend its schedule.

But in the past few years, everyone has focused on the interests of the Champions League and has always compromised and accommodated UEFA.

But now, La Liga has stood up and said, we have to reconsider!

Will the Premier League follow?

The most amazing thing is that La Liga's press officer also put forward a point to the point, "Signing such an understanding agreement ensures the broadcast revenue of UEFA games, but the impact on domestic competitions in various countries has not been taken seriously at all. .”

The press officer also stated very seriously that this was a unanimous decision by the 42 directors of La Liga!

"We have already had a preliminary understanding of the relevant rules, and will hire a team of professional lawyers to study the rules and regulations to ensure that all procedures are carried out in compliance with EU laws and Spanish domestic laws."

The implication is that labor and management no longer care about UEFA, and I just want to discuss the law with you.

As long as I don't break the law, what can you do to me?

……

When the official announcement of La Liga came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions, and the entire European football world was in an uproar.

Everyone realizes that La Liga is in trouble with UEFA!

The trigger was that Atletico Madrid was "hacked" out of the Champions League semifinals.

At the same time, the British Sun revealed that the G08 club, which announced its dissolution in 14, is starting to make moves again. Not only is there a tendency to reorganize, but it may even expand further.

"Atletico Madrid has always refused to participate in G14 in the past, but now, Atletico Madrid has also had enough patience with UEFA!"

In addition to Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Sevilla, and other mid-to-upper-tier teams in the five major leagues may receive invitations.

"More and more wealthy teams have clearly realized that UEFA is becoming more and more domineering. Many Premier League teams have protested against Platini's actions because UEFA is demanding a thorough investigation. The financial situation of the club, but they have never disclosed the financial situation of UEFA."

"With so much money generated from the Champions League every year, apart from the money distributed to the clubs, where does UEFA spend the rest of the money? Why does it never dare to disclose its financial status to the public?"

The financial health bill promoted by Platini has the greatest impact on Premier League teams and has the highest complaints.

Now, the fire is lit, and it is well-founded.

You Platini want to thoroughly investigate the finances of all clubs, which is a good thing, okay, but who will thoroughly investigate the finances of UEFA?

When the two flames between La Liga and G14 started, Yang Hao participated in the show of the famous host De La Morena on Spanish Radio Ser and was interviewed.

In the interview, Yang Hao openly talked about the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at Old Trafford.

"After the game, many people told me, forget it, stop talking, and come back next season, but this incident made me very unhappy. It can even be said to be the most unhappy thing I have experienced in all my years of coaching."

"I feel like they are challenging my IQ. No matter how stupid I am, I can still see clearly what is happening."

"Someone doesn't want us to participate in the Champions League final!"

De La Morena had a close personal relationship with Yang Hao and asked cooperatively, "Officially, it was a miscarriage of justice."

"That's an excuse!" Yang Hao refuted without hesitation.

"This is not a matter of a day or two, or even a year or two. You can look back at our experience in the Champions League over the years. How many times have we been in the group of death?"

"How many times have the speculations before the draw finally turned into reality? I even dare to say that our European competition schedule is the most difficult every season. It’s like this season, not only is it a group of death, we also have to be in the group of death. At the end of November, we headed to Ukraine in icy and snowy conditions.”

"How many times have we encountered this kind of schedule? How many times have we encountered misjudgments? Why would it cause the referee to make a misjudgment and give me a red card if I just stood on the sidelines to protest?"

"Those who are interested can take a look at the surprised expression of the fourth official. He told me that this should not have been punished at all, and it was even more unlikely to be a red card, but the impossible happened. Why?"

"Everyone has common sense. You will know it after thinking about it."

Yang Hao is also very helpless about this, because not everyone will recognize Atletico Madrid.

"I know that if I stand up and say this, many people will think that these are all excuses. In the final analysis, it is because Atletico Madrid is not strong enough and does not have enough strength advantage that it was defeated by a little accident..."

"It's okay. I told my players that all setbacks that cannot be defeated will only make us stronger. We will use our strength to prove whether we have such qualifications!"

"Of course, they can also punish me severely, otherwise, I will definitely get it back!"

……

Yang Hao's long-simmering anger finally burst out at this moment.

Mixed with La Liga's official announcement and rumors of G14's resurrection, Yang Hao's bombardment instantly pushed UEFA to the forefront.

Atletico Madrid is the most powerful team in European football in the past few years, and Yang Hao is the most influential head coach in world football. Their every move, word and deed attracts the attention of fans all over the world.

Now, Yang Hao has publicly criticized UEFA, which has greatly shocked media and fans around the world.

Public opinion suddenly erupted.

The New York Times quickly forwarded this series of news reports, believing that this was the biggest news in European football in recent years.

Authoritative American media believe that Atletico Madrid suffered unfair treatment in the Champions League semifinals. This is true.

"The team coached by Yang Hao has been under pressure from the devil's schedule in the past few years. This time he has completely opened up the dark side."

"Although Yang Hao didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that he was targeting UEFA!"

The New York Times analyzed that UEFA adopts a cake-sharing model.

When La Liga is strong, he will suppress La Liga and support the Premier League; in a few years, when the Premier League is strong, he will suppress the Premier League and support La Liga...and so on.

After Platini was elected through the votes of small and medium-sized countries, he has been supporting small and medium-sized countries, so every year many teams from small and medium-sized countries benefit from UEFA.

"There are even rumors that there is always a draw line that ensures clubs in small and medium-sized countries advance to the knockout stages of the Champions League, or even the quarter-finals."

"This has been common knowledge over the past few years."

"Now, La Liga is too strong. They have dominated European competitions for many years in a row. This has made UEFA realize that it must appropriately suppress La Liga to prevent the Champions League from falling into a situation where La Liga is the only one."

"This has created the current embarrassing situation."

The New York Times believes that this is not the interest of Atletico Madrid. Now it is gradually expanding its front line. The disbanded G14 may be resurrected, which will seriously affect the interests of UEFA and even FIFA.

In 2006, it was the G14 who took advantage of the pressure of public opinion and took the opportunity to file a lawsuit with UEFA, demanding that FIFA compensate for the losses caused by the free use of international players by the national team in the past 10 years, amounting to 8.6 million euros.

In the end, G14 won.

But in 2008, under Platini's attack, the G14 announced its dissolution and was replaced by the European Football Club Association.

"It has been revealed that once the time is right to reorganize the G14, many La Liga giants including Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​as well as other European football giants, may announce their withdrawal from the European Football Club Association."

"This is bound to further weaken UEFA's influence!"

The New York Times analyzed that the root cause of this farce lies in UEFA’s suppression of Atletico Madrid and La Liga, as well as its opaqueness of its own revenue and expenditures, including the huge revenue distribution of the Champions League every year. UEFA has never given a detailed report. A clear and transparent financial statement.

"Europe's major football teams are already furious with UEFA!"

It can be said that in European football, no giant team will like UEFA.

Now, La Liga is indeed very strong, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona are very strong, but what about the future?

Things are changing, who knows what will happen in the future?

Today, UEFA can suppress La Liga and Atletico Madrid, but what about tomorrow?

Other leagues and clubs can be short-sighted and watch the jokes made by Atletico Madrid and La Liga, but if they continue to allow UEFA to rule like this, if they have problems in the future, will they cry without tears?

Now that UEFA completely controls the Champions League, will UEFA replace the major leagues with the Champions League in the future?

Don't say it's not possible.

The Champions League used to be called the Champions League, a cup competition.

What now?

It's called the UEFA Champions League, mind you, it's a league.

Yang Hao even saw a proposal in his previous life, which was put forward by the European Club Association, hoping to restructure and expand the Champions League and arrange the games to be held on weekends.

This is to replace the ecological niche of national leagues!

As long as UEFA continues to be so strong, and as long as the benefits of the Champions League are so great that the major giants cannot part with them, then doesn’t UEFA have the final say?

The New York Times concluded that it is difficult to reach a conclusion in a short period of time in this dispute, and it will definitely be protracted.

UEFA's monopoly and behind-the-scenes operations will surely arouse more and more protests from leagues and wealthy teams.

"When that time comes, it will definitely be a full-scale war!"

As for the fire currently being ignited by La Liga and Atletico Madrid, it is just the beginning.

Even the German Kicker magazine wrote a commentary that Atletico Madrid's encounter in the Champions League semi-finals was truly unbelievable. It shook the authority of the Champions League. It not only hit Atletico Madrid, but also hit the Champions League and the UEFA itself.

"In the past, people always liked to discuss the shady story of the Champions League, but now, in the Champions League semi-finals, such an obvious and malicious 'misjudgment' is more like further evidence of the existence of the shady story."

"UEFA should take the initiative to disclose more operating mechanisms and improve its transparency, thereby winning the recognition of more clubs, fans and media."

　I originally considered putting the UEFA section in the previous chapter, but after careful consideration, I still chose to postpone it. The main reason is that this kind of thing cannot be said and taken immediate action, and it takes some time to operate under the table. . In addition, in the last chapter, I deliberately put the La Liga championship together, hoping to dilute everyone's dissatisfaction with being eliminated from the Champions League later in the chapter. These are my real considerations, and I don’t know if they are right or not. Please understand and forgive me! In addition, I have thought a lot about La Liga using the schedule to beat UEFA. Mainly in terms of clubs and leagues, there is really no way to check and balance UEFA. I checked a lot of information and I think the schedule can be used. Yes, after all, arranging domestic matches on European match days will have an impact on the broadcast of European matches, so UEFA has always signed similar agreements with leagues in various countries. If you think there is anything unreasonable, please try your best to point it out, thank you!
