What was originally a very normal battle for the golden boy has turned into a political battle, and the smoke is getting thicker and thicker.
Time quickly came to the weekend derby in the same city.
In the first few decades of the last century, the game between Juventus and Turin was still quite interesting. Today's portrayal is like two brothers who have taken completely different paths. One is still doing farm work in the village, and the other is He has already become famous in the big city.
"I don't think there is any real hatred between the two clubs Juventus and Turin. On the contrary, every day I walk on the streets of Turin, I feel the love and respect from the people of Turin. Here I am." Life is very good. There are no so-called fans of two teams here. I feel that everyone is one family. Of course, there is also competition here," Chenlong said calmly when answering reporters before the game.
"Just like the competition between Little Chopper and I for awards that has been making a lot of noise in the media these days, what everyone needs to understand is that we are brothers first, and then we have a competitive relationship!"
Tomorrow is the day when the Golden Boy Award is announced, and it is also the day when the Champions League opponents are drawn, but one is at nine o'clock in the morning, and the other is at ten o'clock in the morning.
The Juventus club decided to let Conte go to the UEFA headquarters to draw lots, and let Chenlong stay in Turin to participate in the Golden Boy Award presentation. The troops were divided into two groups and a two-pronged approach.
Of course, if you want to complete this task, you first need to finish the derby with Turin this afternoon.
Turin was covered in snow and extremely cold in December, but the fans' enthusiasm for watching the game was not diminished at all. Canaris and Ariel rarely wore fur coats and appeared in the VIP seats.
This game is very important, and the award ceremony the next day is also extremely important for Chen Long, so they all appeared in the stands, one for his fiancé, and the other for his partner. Strangely, before Beckenbauer, who appeared on the training ground, did not come to watch the game.
If Juventus remains unbeaten in this game, it will be 55 games unbeaten, which is only one game away from tying AC Milan's 56 games unbeaten. The crowd was excited. Although the continuous fighting in the past few days made the body a little unable to withstand it, when such an important game came, they still swept away the dejection and threw themselves into the game excitedly.
From the first minute of the game, Juventus players devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the game. After four months of recuperation, Vucinic finally returned in this game and started with Matri. After the South American players who played and returned to the national team returned to the team, Juventus temporarily eased the personnel crisis.
It is not a problem for the Bianconeri, who have always been relatively tidy, to crush Torino at home, but the two sides seemed to have made an agreement and did not fight to the death. This may be the most polite game since the team was established for so long. Come on.
At the same time, at the moment the game sounded, a large conference room in a high-end hotel in Turin was filled with people and excitement.
In the center of the conference room, stood an old figure. If Chenlong were here at this time, he would definitely recognize him at a glance. This person was Moji, whom he had met once in person.
Old Moggi was sitting in the chief position in the conference room. On the left and right sides were Milan Vice Chairman Galliani, Bayern Chairman Beckenbauer, and then there were the famous wealthy Chelsea Chairman Abramovich, Real Madrid Chairman Fernando Lorentino, Manchester United chairman Zeleze, Liverpool chairman Werner, Inter Milan chairman Moratti...
In short, there are a lot of terrible people here, all leaders of wealthy European countries. Among the top 16 clubs in the Champions League, except for Barcelona’s Rosell, the rest have appeared. International clubs who are not qualified to participate in the Champions League Milan leader Moratti also appeared.
Of course, leaders of other well-known clubs also appeared...
The Champions League draw ceremony will be held tomorrow. It was clear that Juventus was planning to send Conte to participate in the draw in the morning. Why did the club's top leader appear here
It seems that the G14 League is about to reappear in football. Ling Xiyu couldn't help but sigh. She attended this meeting as the editor-in-chief of Gazzetta dello Sport, but because of her different status, she could only communicate with her colleagues from other media Sitting far away, next to him is Padovan from Turin Sports News.
The so-called G14 League is composed of the original Italian Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan, England's Manchester United and Liverpool, Germany's Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, Spain's Real Madrid and Barcelona, France's Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain, and the Netherlands. It consists of Ajax, PSV, and Porto of Portugal, with a total of fourteen initial members.
But now there are far more people in this conference room than the original number.
Moji lifted his large frame and coughed twice, and the scene finally became quiet.
"Thank you all for coming to Turin and supporting the successful formation of the g14 alliance again... "
There were bursts of warm applause in the venue.
At such a special moment, European giants gathered in Turin, and they were obviously inextricably linked to UEFA. As expected, Moggi mentioned UEFA in his next words.
"Since the rebel Platini entered UEFA and Barcelona defected, the interests of the giants of all parties have been seriously damaged. To this day, after more than ten years, we are together again. We should be united. A new start... "
As an advocate of the alliance, Moji talked freely in the conference room...
At this time, the game at the Turin Municipal Stadium was in full swing. At the end of the first half, the game ended in a draw. The fans who watched the half-time ball finally understood and understood.
It turns out this is a competition between brothers! ! No wonder the score is still zero to zero until now. There is not even the slightest smell of gunpowder, let alone any yellow cards. The two sides are playing with a tacit understanding.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Chenlong replaced Vucinic, who had returned from injury, as planned, and finally made his debut. This was a game between brothers, but after Chenlong came on the field, the atmosphere suddenly changed...
Everyone knows that Chen Long wants to brush up the data, so Chen Long must attack hard.
The acting must be realistic, even if it is a tacit understanding of the ball, it must have some real skills, otherwise the fans will not buy it, and neither will the opponents. They can allow Chen Long to score, but they cannot allow themselves to lose the game cowardly.
So after Chen Long came up, the atmosphere of the game did change. Of course, trying your best means trying your best, but no one has to fight to the death. The camp is full of wounded soldiers. Trying your best does not mean paying the price of injuries.
So the final result was that Chen Long still scored a hat trick, and the Turin team also scored two goals. Although the Turin team lost the game, at least it looked good.
The game ended so easily and happily, but the G14 League meeting continued to heat up, far more lively than the Turin Derby. As before, representatives from all parties were noisy in the meeting room because of the distribution of interests.
The main contradiction is reflected among the newly joined clubs and the traditional giants. In order to protect their own interests, the traditional giants do not want to distribute more of their vested interests to emerging forces.
*************
"It's been about two hours." Platini sat anxiously in the office and never calmed down. He knew everything that was happening in Turin at this time, but he was powerless. He was firmly seated as the president of UEFA. In the past ten years, he has never been like an ant on a hot pot like this time.
This is not one person having his anus exploded, this is countless people lining up, waiting to have his anus exploded.
As if waiting for his own execution and having his last supper, he rarely lit up a cigarette, took a few puffs, and finally put it out.
"Bruce, are you ready for tomorrow's press conference?" The tired Platini finally made a phone call. He is not dead today and has to continue tomorrow. Even if he is powerless, he must do something, so He still thought about tomorrow's Champions League draw.
He couldn't understand that since he came to power, he has been committed to the development of European football and involving leagues from various countries. Although it has caused damage to the interests of some wealthy clubs, it is generally satisfactory. Why are they now We still have to fight against it.
The person who has always been uneasy with him is Russell. At this time, although Russell had resolutely and decisively abandoned the dark side and chose to abandon Platini, he was still in a state of uneasiness and couldn't help but curse in his heart. After a meal with Laporta, if Laporta had not betrayed the G14 alliance in his early years, he would not be at such a disadvantage now.
If all the wealthy teams participate in their own leagues, then even if his Barcelona is the only one in the Champions League, then what's the point of playing this game.
The meeting of the g14 alliance lasted until after 7 o'clock in the evening, and then ended. With the efforts of Real Madrid Chairman Florentino, all parties made concessions and the interests were relatively evenly distributed, and in the end g14 The league also gave the answer Platini wanted to know.
The g14 league does not want UEFA's unstable and torturous league. They want to establish their own Champions League, which is a stable and lucrative league that only they will participate in forever.
In particular, the newly introduced policy of linking Financial Fair Budget transfers to Champions League qualifications is hated by many wealthy clubs, so Platini's unpopularity is reflected in this.
The g14 league wants to start its own league and let UEFA go to hell...
