Chapter 256 European Club Summit (1)

European Football Club Summit? What is that?

This is the first thought that came to Zhuang Mingge's mind after receiving the invitation from Van Pragge.

Wait, Van Prager just now said that this meeting was a topic that had not been discussed before? Why didn’t we in Florence be invited?

After listening to Van Prager's explanation, Zhuang Mingge realized that almost a month ago, more than a dozen European clubs including AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern, Ajax, etc., held a manager-level club summit. The main topic of the meeting was after the arrival of the Bosman era, how could the club better protect the club's own interests in the face of increasingly sharp conflicts with UEFA and other superior institutions?

Although Fiorentina rose strongly last season, it was obviously far from enough to see these giants with glorious history, so the manager summit did not invite representatives from the Fiorentina club to attend the meeting.

However, there was no substantial result at that meeting, otherwise there would have been no invitation from Zhuang Mingge.

According to the general manager of a club attending that meeting, it was: "The topic to be discussed at this meeting is too important. As club managers at the general manager level, we do not have enough power to make any decisions in this area alone."

This time, Zhuang Mingge was invited to attend this level of meeting because of the two friendly clubs, Ajax and Inter Milan. When Boss Mo Da learned that as the No. 1 Serie A League in Europe, only representatives from three clubs attended the manager's summit, and the Premier League, which was still struggling, was able to send a group of down-and-out clubs including Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa to attend the meeting, he did not hesitate to expand the number of Italian representatives in the boss summit. Boss Mo Da's first recommendation was Florence, which had the best relationship with him.

Seeing Inter Milan's statement, Juventus and AC Milan, who are also Italian teams, are naturally not good at going up and openly undermining the situation. They only recommended several Serie A teams that have also performed well in recent years, such as Parma, Sampdoria, etc.

As the initiator and organizer of this summit, Van Prager is naturally quite willing to bring Florence, a club that is quite friendly to him, into this meeting. After all, one more ally will often have unexpected results in such meetings.

The other giants in several major leagues are also very dissatisfied with Premier League teams that occupy multiple seats in the managers' meetings. The only two-rate teams such as Arsenal and Manchester United in the past few years, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa have the same face to participate in this level of meetings. Do you still take us seriously?

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

"I'm very happy 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 invitation, President Van Prager." Although I don't know why Florence was selected to participate in this meeting held by European giants, Zhuang Mingge knew in his heart that with Florence's current accumulation, it is impossible to gain much voice at this level of conference. The only benefit is to see if we can take advantage of the conflicts and contradictions between these traditional giants to gain some benefits for Florence.

...

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

As the host of this European club owners' summit, the Ajax Club at this time attracted countless attention from the world. This is undoubtedly a glory for the former European giant Ajax, who has become like a dusk in the west.

For Van Prag himself, he would rather not have such hypocritical glory. He did not want this significant European club owners summit to be held in Amsterdam, where Ajax Club is located. After all, there is an old saying that the gun shot the bird out of the head. This kind of rally that is obviously against UEFA is held in Amsterdam. Ajax's "big bird out of the head" is likely to be the first to be attacked by the furious UEFA.

However, Van Prager was unable to change the resolution, although he himself was the initiator of the summit.

After all, in order to get rid of the various crises faced by the club as soon as possible, Van Prager must tie the crumbling Ajax to this traditional European giant as soon as possible.

"Character of interest". Therefore, more than a month ago, Ajax took the lead in proposing to hold a summit of European clubs. However, Van Prag knew in his heart that his proposal was exactly in line with the real ideas of those European clubs, and those families just took the initiative to hit it off.

Van Prag, who had been playing a conspiracy, had to sigh in the face of the decision that he was unable to change, that these wealthy and powerful bosses were indeed not so easy to fool.

What made Van Prager, the new Ajax chairman who took office in times of crisis, feels gratified and helpless that in this soon-to-be-forming common interests of European giants, Ajax, who has gradually become far away from the reality of European giants, is just regarded as a senior supporting role who is willing to be driven by. The real "protagonist" among them protects himself well in the new division of interests after this football storm.

In the heart of this Ajax President, although Florence represented by Zhuang Mingge does not have enough voice in European football, judging from the rapid development momentum of this club's change of ownership, Purple Lily will definitely have a place in this community of interests in the near future! This is one of the reasons why Van Prager strives to make good friends with Florence. After all, the effect of timely help is always better than icing on the cake.

By then, Ajax, who is a "high-level supporting role" in this alliance, can also gain more benefits in the future by relying on his friendly relations with Florence, rather than being kicked out of this circle by those bigwigs.
