Chapter 263
"I propose to come from the Florence club in the Serie A!" The second one who was nominated for the G14 league was Florence controlled by Zhuang Mingge, and the person who nominated the Purple Lily was the final boss of Juventus Club, the godfather of Italy, Jani Agnelli!
Hearing the old man Agnelli's speech, Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting outside, unconsciously clenched his fists, waiting for the judgment of fate.
In terms of long history, Fiorentina, founded in 1926, is indeed a team with a long history, but its glory is no longer enough, and it can barely cross the threshold of the first condition. And the most competitive thing about Fiorentina is its impressive results over the past two years, which has become its stepping stone to enter the G14. Whether it was winning the Serie A championship as a new team in the group last year, shocking the whole of Europe, or even winning the European Cup of Winners' results by killing strong enemies. With Kenion's clever operation, Fiorentina's outstanding performance in the Serie A and the European Champions League this season and the existence of the new European footballer Batistuta have made the Purple Lily's popularity soar worldwide. Therefore, Fiorentina is very consistent in the second condition.
Coupled with Zhuang Mingge's little moves in private, Florence can get at least half of the eight votes, and among the remaining four clubs, who would vote for that critical vote?
Just as Zhuang Mingge was thinking about it, the etiquette of the venue had already taken the votes from the eight bosses. As the host, Van Prager returned to the front stage to read out the voting results (when nominating Ajax before, Van Prager had to temporarily find a third party to sing his votes for him in order to avoid suspicion).
"Florence has one vote for... two votes for... Oh, there is one vote here..." Van Prager muttered to himself as he looked at the votes, but...
I said Van Pragor, did you do it on purpose?! When I was reading the ballot, I was still opening the microphone next to me, and the sound was heard!
After a quick and effective sorting, the voting results were quickly sorted out.
"Now read the voting results..." Van Prager said this and deliberately delayed it. After fully arousing everyone's appetite, he read it again slowly. "The voting results in Florence were one abstention, three abstentions, and four abstentions!"
When Van Prager said the final vote, Zhuang Mingge's tense body relaxed instantly, his eyes full of joy.
Although I don’t know which club’s boss voted that abstention, according to regulations, the voting result for joining the G14 league does not necessarily require more than half of the votes to agree. As long as the number of votes in favor exceeds the number of votes against it, this means...
"Congratulations to Florence! This club from the Serie A has become the tenth official member of the G14 league!" Van Prager announced excitedly, and his back was covered with cold sweat at this time. He really didn't expect that the joining of Florence would be so thrilling. As long as there was a vote of opposition, Florence would have no play to sing. "Next, please invite Antonio Corleone, the chairman of the Florence club, to sit in the seat next to the round table!"
Manchester United's Martin Edwards and Liverpool boss David Morse's face were gloomy. In the vote just now, in order to curb Serie A team's more voice in the G14 league, they temporarily gave up the feud between the clubs and voted against the nominated Fiorentina, but they did not expect that they could not stop Serie A's footsteps.
Including Florence, Serie A has occupied four of the first fourteen members in the G14 league, which means that when there is a disagreement on certain topics, the opinions of the Italian team will play a crucial role. After all, they now have more than a quarter of the votes!
Since Real Madrid was ruined by Fiorentina in the Champions League this season, he was not only eliminated in the Champions League group stage due to the victory or defeat, but also because of the bad foul against Batistuta in the game against Fiorentina, the status and image of Real Madrid club in the hearts of fans was greatly affected. Therefore, Real Madrid chairman Sans, who hated Fiorentina, voted against him without hesitation. After all, he is not a gentleman and has no intention of turning swords into piety.
Nunez of Barcelona Club was glad at this time. From the basic conditions, Fiorentina can almost be said to be just enough for the G14 threshold. Therefore, Nunez was considering other aspects. He knew that Zhuang Mingge had a good personal relationship with his arch-rival Cruyff, but the GM company under Zhuang Mingge did deal with many unwanted players for Barcelona. Everyone was engaged in football. In the future, they looked down and saw each other. When they had basically met the joining standards, it was not very cost-effective to make the relationship so broken because of such a small matter.
So Nunes hesitated for a moment when he was voting. He wanted to not offend him, and finally made a call on the abstention. Unexpectedly, Florence happened to pass the test with this abstention vote.
...
"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Beckenbauer." When Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting at the round table, found that Beckenbauer was on his left, he immediately whispered to express his gratitude to the football emperor.
"If it's not the case, it's just a small task. I hope Chairman Corleone, don't forget some consensus reached between us." Beckenbauer waved casually, as if this vote was really just a trivial matter.
"I will naturally do my best." Zhuang Mingge knew what Beckenbauer was saying. Although it sounds simple, it should not fool around easily, otherwise if the football emperor gets furious, his life in the European football circle will be quite difficult in the future...
After Fiorentina became a member of the tenth G14 league, the next nomination was Dortmund from the Bundesliga, while the other nominated was Bayern Munich, who also came from the Bundesliga. Although Bayern and Dortmund fought to the death in the Bundesliga, the German spirit of unity was undoubtedly reflected again at the critical moment.
Like Van Prag, Zhuang Mingge, who can only be on the sidelines, knew very well that Dortmund would not encounter too many obstacles to joining (only the eight giants at the beginning had the right to vote, but the newly joined members did not). Although this German team has not won a European Champions League like in history and its record is not very good, don't forget that the nominee of it is Beckenbauer, a symbol of German football. This is an existence that even FIFA and UEFA have to give way to three points! Who dares to refute the face of the football emperor on this issue?
