Chapter 714 Tickets
The next day, Jing Jian accompanied Maiting in Venice for a day, and then embarked on a flight across the Atlantic Ocean. However, they were talking and laughing in the first class, and the global media had already been in a turmoil.
In the European continent, the Milan Sports Daily published a major news: "... According to sources, the President of Portsmouth Club Bramble has threatened both the FA and UEFA that if the independent Super League and Champions League are not established, his club will set aside the FA and UEFA and establish its own domestic league and UEFA..."
As the World Cup just ended, journalists from various countries immediately flocked to the FA and UEFA officials, and were forced to do so, and they issued external statements:
"Sorry, the report is a bit inaccurate. Our FA and Portsmouth Club were only internal communication and did not make any decisions. Some of Chairman Bramble's suggestions are still constructive. We will strengthen communication in the future and respect the opinions of every club. ... No, our English football is a united family, and I don't think there is any possibility of division."
Because within the FA, several wealthy families are very powerful, and the frequent problems of English football have led to a sense of urgency for reform, the FA's statement is quite tactful.
"This is not an attitude to solve the problem. President Bramble's performance is indeed arrogant. We at UEFA will never tolerate bad sheep. Of course, we still hope that he will be lost and that the door of UEFA is open. We hope to continue to talk to him and find solutions that satisfy both sides."
Since UEFA lives well, their motivation for reform is not enough. Especially to take care of the emotions of those small league countries, their tone is relatively tough. Of course, UEFA dare not offend the wealthy group too much. If it really breaks apart, it will be really a big deal, so they are just showing regrets!
Interestingly, FIFA cannot wait to join this battle of words: "...We have noticed the news of the president of a European club, which sets a very bad precedent. We FIFA want to reiterate that any matches that are separated from the FIFA associations are in violation of regulations. All participants, including coaches, will ban all FIFA-related events. But we hope that UEFA can resolve this storm as soon as possible. If there are any differences, you can appeal to FIFA arbitration. Therefore, here we need to warn Mr. Bramble and punish him for his extremely irresponsible remarks. If he does not recognize his mistake and sincerely repent, we will impose a severe punishment on him that prohibits participation in all football activities."
Of course, FIFA has zero tolerance for the behavior of challenging its rights. However, there has always been a lot of friction with UEFA, the strongest, richest and most powerful. Therefore, with this "shut-off incident", they wanted to take the opportunity to intervene in UEFA's affairs and secretly encourage Jing Jian to go to FIFA for arbitration.
However, superficial skills are still needed. Jing Jian received a ticket issued by FIFA that "finished $5,000, banned from watching the game on site for five games."
Jing Jian was still on the plane and didn't know about this ticket. UEFA was already angry with this ticket. If you want to punish, then UEFA should punish it? Is your FIFA appearance so ugly?
Not to mention the intrigue within the Football League, the people who are watching the fun are watching. In the street interviews, they are generally very interested in the European leagues organized by the wealthy families of various countries. Fans do not care about the intrigue within the Football League. Now the matches between European giants are too rare. Fans from various countries often fall into the squirting between Guan Gong and Qin Qiong. If they can play so many games every year, wouldn’t that be resolved? Even fans from those small league countries welcome such high-level games.
The interviews with the wealthy families were not so smooth. After all, they were afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. Even if they wanted such a game, they were unwilling to be hostile to UEFA. So all their diplomatic rhetorics and those vague answers were almost no answers. So some media joked: "The managers of the wealthy clubs have changed their careers to become diplomats."
...
Just when European countries were in full swing, the British media still did not forget the "acquisition of national teams". As expected, Portsmouth Club seemed to have not been affected at all, and issued a second offer to the club where all the players on the list were located, and the price of this offer increased by 20%. As soon as the news came out, the whole England was sensational. This was a rhythm of more than 100 million pounds? In fact, the total price of this offer has exceeded the possible transfers of all other clubs, which is a complete blow.
There were differences in response this time. Some clubs are quite determined and still "not selling". At this time, the players are not free and do not have the initiative in transfers. If the club insists on not selling, they can only stay helplessly, even if they pay a high price, they will not do it.
Some of them have loosened. Due to the constant stadium tragedy, every club needs to renovate the stadium, which has caused general financial tension. In particular, Portsmouth's bid has greatly exceeded the market price, so there were seven or eight "Thank you for your club's quotations, but such a quotation is difficult to satisfy." This has already released one's own meaning - if you give a heart-warming price, it is not impossible to negotiate!
The last one is the kind that no longer hesitates. Portsmouth Club received six bargains after agreeing or increasing the price. Among them are bargains from Alan Hiller, Davao Suk and Zidane. Pixar did not drag on these sincere clubs. In just one day's negotiation, they negotiated the six transfers for 27.5 million pounds. As soon as the news came out, no one doubted Portsmouth's sincerity and financial resources anymore.
However, no one noticed that Portsmouth Club was also undergoing a major internal cleaning. First, Bebeto and two other Brazilian players transferred to the Spanish club. Since they were both selected for the Brazilian team this time, the price was good, and they recovered 7.2 million pounds.
