Chapter 845

After the annual draw and award ceremony, UEFA will hold a dinner party in a five-star hotel near the Grimaldi conference center to entertain all guests and football practitioners.

Even the royal family of Monaco is represented.

Manchester City is the leading player in the draw of this year's Champions League group match. As the team in the fourth stage, it has become the focus of the media all over the world. In the end, this team also won the death combination of AC Milan, Real Madrid and Ajax.

Therefore, after the draw, many media wanted to interview Gao Han, but they never saw anyone. Only Paul futre, the general manager of Manchester City, as a representative, gave regular interviews to the media, while Ferguson and Guardiola, who had been with Gao Han before, received interviews in person, which surprised many media reporters.

Where is the high cold?

It was not until the dinner was about to begin that Gao Han and Platini came late talking and laughing.

This undoubtedly deepened everyone's curiosity.

Guardiola and Ferguson and others sat together, and specially reserved a place for Gao Han. As soon as they saw him enter the door, they raised their hands, and Platini himself sent Gao Han to his seat, then politely said, "please do everything."

Watching the back of the president of UEFA leave, people all feel very strange.

"What's the situation?" Asked the next Ferguson curiously.

In fact, Ferguson has always been a curious man in his life, which is why he has been able to keep fresh and pursue in the United position for many years.

After hearing this, Gao Han said solemnly, "it's nothing. I just think you're too old to do such a hard work, so let me show mercy to you and let you retire with honor."

Such a serious way to say this kind of bullshit, everyone around laughed, and Ferguson almost didn't give him a punch.

But he did not say, Ferguson can also vaguely guess some, "is it related to the Spanish strike?"

He asked in a low voice, and the scene was very noisy, so there was no need to worry about being heard by other people except for a few attentive colleagues around the table.

After listening to Ferguson's words, Guardiola, Simone and emery all looked at the cold. They are all the managers of La Liga and naturally care about the progress of the strike.

Gao Han said with a smile, "some people are playing, and they are playing badly. Now it's hard to ride a tiger, so someone needs to stand up and give them a solution. It's so simple."

When he said this, everyone understood.

But is it really easy?

In the current situation of Spanish football, the professional league and the government have been on the same front. Forty two professional teams in La Liga and La Liga B have also unswervingly pushed forward the reform. Barcelona and Real Madrid, who have vested interests, are not active, but they dare not act rashly.

It can be said that in the current situation, the reform of broadcasting rights has been unstoppable.

Over the years, FIFA has always boasted that it is divorced from politics and has become a country of its own, even confronting sovereign countries for many times. For example, in the recent World Cup in South Africa, South Africa was extremely dissatisfied with FIFA.

For a grand sports event such as the world cup and the Olympic Games, it is a loss making business for all host countries. It is a loss making cry. But even so, the requirements of FIFA and the Olympic Committee are higher and higher.

This time FIFA provoked South Africa, the African BRICs country is powerless to FIFA, but if next time it provoked a big country, it is uncertain whether Blatter can continue to rule his football kingdom.

In the same way, the style of FIFA has been followed from top to bottom by all the continental football associations and national football associations.

The reason why the Spanish Football Association dares to fight against all the professional clubs, professional leagues and the government is that they have the strength and the FIFA stands behind them. Blatter also stood on the platform to intimidate the Spanish government not to interfere in the internal affairs of football, otherwise they will be banned from Spain.

But what happened?

The Spanish government didn't care about him at all, and even this arrogant and overbearing remark angered the Spanish fans.

Football is very important, but where can national sovereignty be trampled on?

What's more, this is Spain's own domestic football affairs, which need FIFA's direction?

This time it's up to you. Next time you don't put your nose on your face?

So soon, the government increased the pressure, even drew the bottom line, the new season La Liga second round will be held as scheduled.

Not only the government and the professional league, but also the referee committee, the Coaching Committee and the players' Union have indicated that they will reconsider the decision of the strike, and that they understand the plan of the professional league to reform the distribution of broadcasting rights.

For a time, the Spanish football association was in a desperate situation.

Blatter's pressure on bilar turned out to be a hot potato and a joke.

Thinking of this, Gao Han sneered sarcastically, "a group of guys who only play amateur football politics dare to teach politicians. I doubt whether they are kicked in the head by donkeys."

Chairman Mao once said that the barrel of a gun is out of power.

Blatter thought that as the president of FIFA, he could boast that football was a country of his own, not ruled by any national power, and even fought against sovereign countries many times. But he never thought that his set of rules could really play like this?

Let alone China, the United States and other big powers, even in front of the Spanish government, what are they?

Besides, ban Spain?

Will UEFA abide by FIFA's decision? Does the Spanish Football Association dare to listen?

This organization is at the height of its arrogance.

Now, bilar has set himself on fire. The professional league and the government are going to kick him off. The referees, coaches and players are all relaxed. What should we do?

Beg for mercy?

Are you kidding?

If the Spanish Football Association asks for mercy, then there will be a place for them in the future?

Keep fighting?

That's even worse. It's not good for the football association to make it clear now.

Therefore, the best result is to find a middleman to deal with each other, give each side a step, pull together again, sit down and talk again, then both sides shake hands and make peace, and each side will help each other's face.

Of course, UEFA is the most suitable candidate. In fact, Platini has been calling on all parties to calm down, but everyone knows that UEFA is affiliated to FIFA. Although the two major institutions are not on the right track, there is such a relationship.

Therefore, Platini sought the help of the high cold, hoping to pull up a few famous and influential football figures in Spain to appeal for a step for the two sides to renegotiate.

This should also be the result that both sides want to see most. After all, the football association has been struck out by three strikes, but FIFA and UEFA will definitely not give up. It will be a series of wars at that time, and no one will be benefited.

Politics, after all, is the art of compromise.

But after this time, Gao Han also began to realize that the Spanish Football Association's affairs will only be the beginning. Such arrogant and overbearing practices as FIFA's will play themselves to death sooner or later.

They can offend South Africa, or even put pressure on Brazil and Qatar. But when they provoke big powers, such as the five permanent members of the United Nations, they will certainly not have a good fruit to eat.

…………

After the draw ceremony of the Champions League group match, Gao did not accompany Ferguson and Guardiola to Nyon, Switzerland, for the annual European coaches summit, but went directly to Spain.

Soon, when the shock brought by the draw of the Champions League group match gradually subsided, Marca newspaper published an interview on the cold.

In the special interview, when Marca asked Gao's views on the Spanish League strike, Gao called on both sides to understand each other, understand each other's stand and concerns, and continue the strike will have a huge and painful impact on the Spanish League, so all parties should abandon the past and sit down to negotiate again.

"Recently, I'm in England, but I always pay attention to the news in Spain. Bilal and I are good friends. I know that he has made indelible contributions to Spanish football. The Spanish League and national team can achieve today's results, and the football association has an indispensable credit and contribution."

"The success of the League should not be a reason to deny the role of the Football Association, especially in the youth training and promotion of football. In the future, the football association also needs to continue to work hard."

"Of course, the League also has the consideration of the league, especially in today's highly market-oriented, many of the systems and rules that have been used for decades should really keep pace with the times and carry out reform, so that the La Liga league can continue to achieve long-term development and compete with other leagues all over the world."

"So I hope the two sides can sit down again, have a good talk and seek a win-win cooperation plan."

This remark of high cold soon caused a huge repercussion in Spain, and the vast majority of fans also expressed their support, believing that it is not good for the league and Spanish football to continue the strike and all parties to continue to fight.

Soon, Spanish star alagones also stood up and publicly supported Gao's remarks, saying that all parties should consider the interests of the fans, sit down again to negotiate and seek a solution, rather than continue to hold their own stand against each other.

"I don't think there will be any results if we continue like this, I call for conversation."

Bosque, who just led the team to win the world cup in South Africa, also called for talks and refused to fight.

"With other leagues already in full swing, continuing the strike will only cause greater disaster and loss to Spanish football and Spanish football, and it is also an irresponsible act to the fans."

Immediately after that, the Coaching Committee immediately appealed to all parties to sit down and talk again. The players' Union and many stars, including Raul and Guti, who have left La Liga, all appealed for talks. The referee committee soon issued a statement calling on all parties to talk and stop the strike.

In a short period of two or three days, the crowd became more and more agitated, demanding to talk and stop the strike.

Just in early September, before the first national team match, the media revealed that Gao Han, Aragones and Bosque, as well as many famous Spanish players, jointly invited representatives from the Spanish Football Association, professional league and government to Madrid to restart talks and negotiate to stop the strike as soon as possible.

Three days later, after three consecutive days of negotiations, the three parties jointly declared that they had reached an agreement on the broadcasting rights scheme, and the strike of La Liga ended.

At the same time, in the statement, the three sides expressed their gratitude for the efforts made by Gao Han and Aragones for this talk, and also hoped that they could continue to contribute to the development of Spanish football in the future.

So far, a month long strike in La Liga has finally come to an end, but the profound changes brought about by the strike have just begun.
