With the 2-in-1 European Footballer selected by French Football Magazine and the World Footballer Master organized by FIFA, UEFA has been secretly thinking about how to get some benefits from FIFA.

Don’t think of Platini and Blatt as one person. Although they are wearing the same pair of pants, many people even think that Platini will be the most powerful successor candidate in Blatt, but now he is still the president of UEFA. At least he has to consider the interests of UEFA.

Of course, in name, UEFA's relationship with FIFA is now good, and it is under the jurisdiction of the latter, so it is naturally impossible to go against FIFA. Those reporters said that UEFA wants to start a player award selection by itself, which is absolutely wrong. It cannot happen, at least in a short period of time.

UEFA finally came up with a good way to compromise, which is to integrate the annual UEFA selection.

Previously, the UEFA annual selection had five awards, namely the Best Goalkeeper of the Year, Best Defender, Best Midfielder, Best Forward and Best Player, but now they have integrated these awards, collaborated with the European Sports Media League, launched the Best Player of the European Award and cancelled all other awards.

On the surface, this is an integration of UEFA's annual selection. Considering that the annual selection has existed a long time ago, FIFA cannot say anything about such integration. But in fact, the so-called best player in Europe after the integration is equivalent to the European footballer selected by the French Football Magazine.

Why do you say so?

Please see how to select the best players in Europe. Through the cooperation of the European Sports Media League, football reporters from 53 countries and regions under UEFA voted and then decided on the top three. However, these three players are not ranked one after another. These three players who entered the top three will vote on the spot at the UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony and award ceremony at the UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony, 53 journalists from 53 countries and regions invited to vote on the spot to determine the ranking.

Have you noticed something?

The entire operation process is actually almost the same as the selection process of the European Football Master in French Football Magazine, but at the same time, some of the current FIFA selection practices have been added, such as finalizing the top three in advance. However, this time UEFA did not announce it at the award ceremony, because many fans accused FIFA of this practice of having black box operations.

So, UEFA will tell you this time that I am voting on the spot. As long as you watch the live broadcast, you can see the voting situation, which can ensure your fairness and fairness to the greatest extent.

Of course, it is certainly impossible to achieve absolute fairness and justice.

It's like in the top three lists announced by UEFA, the main midfielder Xavi of Champions League champion Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid's number one superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, and Tottenham's number one superstar Messi.

There is indeed a certain controversy among these three places. Which is more important, Xavi and Iniesta has always been the focus of fans' disputes. Whether it is Real Madrid or Tottenham Hotspur, the performance in the Champions League last season was not ideal, but Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi's performance in the league is shady.

Among the other seven players in the top ten in the first round, Tottenham Hotspur was shortlisted for Ribery and Thiago Silva, and Barcelona also had Fabregas, Iniesta and Pique. Fabregas was shortlisted for his outstanding performance at Tottenham Hotspur.

So, on the surface, Barcelona is the number one winner, but in fact Tottenham Hotspur is the most shortlisted.

It's completely meaningless to care about this, the key is the competition for the top three.

Unlike the award ceremony in the past, in the past, they used to be awarded at the lottery, but now they are just getting to the point as soon as they come up. The whole venue immediately became nervous and intense. Everyone hopes to know who is the winner of the first European best player, so the atmosphere of the entire Grimalti Convention Center immediately became very tense.

In the final number of votes announced, Messi was 38 votes, far ahead and won the first European Best Player Award!

A burst of warm applause immediately sounded. Perhaps many people were dissatisfied with the result. Perhaps after the announcement, many fans thought there were shady scenes in the selection, but no matter what, this was the result of the on-site voting.

From the perspective of conspiracy theory, perhaps such a selection may be controlled, but from the perspective of rationality, who can control so many people, especially these people are still a group of reporters!

Fifty-three journalists, if UEFA really wants to control their votes, how much does it cost? And as long as one of them announces the truth, UEFA's award will completely lose credibility, so the so-called undercover operation can only appear in conspiracy theories, and cannot be reality.

The reality is that in the eyes of all reporters, Messi's performance is indeed better. Even though he has not received decent honors in Tottenham Hotspur and the national team, he has indeed performed better.

Messi first hugged Ye Qiu, Ribery and other club management and teammates, walked onto the podium, accepted Platini's congratulations, and then faced the microphone. This world's number one superstar who had already won the prize and was no longer as nervous as he had when he first came before the microphone.

"I am very grateful to all the journalists who chose me. Thank you very much. I also want to thank my teammates. Without your help, I would not have won this award. I need to thank Tottenham Hotspur Club I played for, and all the staff of this club, you have made Tottenham Hotspur so successful!"

"I especially want to thank my most respected head coach, Mr. Ye Qiu, and all the Tottenham Hotspur coaches. It is your efforts to build a competitive Tottenham Hotspur team like this. It is also your continuous inspiration and urging me to keep progress. I will do my best to not let you down. I will cherish everything I have at present and strive to continue this tradition of success!"

When Messi raised the trophy high above his head with both hands, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

Messi walked off the podium with satisfaction, holding the trophy. At the same time, Platini also grandly announced that the 2011/2012 Champions League group stage draw ceremony officially began.

This time, among the top 32 teams in the Champions League, the Premier League still occupied four seats, namely Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City. What's interesting is that in addition to Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United ranked in the seeds, Liverpool was arranged in the second level, while Manchester City entered the third level, which also created a lot of suspense for the entire lottery ceremony.

In addition, there are strong teams such as AC Milan, Lyon, Valencia, Villarre and Marseille, and in the third level there are teams such as Ajax, Leverkusen, Manchester City, Lille, and in the fourth level there are two teams in the four major leagues.

Since the release of the division, everyone is very excited about the lottery ceremony because everyone is speculating whether there will be a duel between the Death Group? You know, this is definitely possible!

As the lottery guest, Figo was the first to come on stage. His task was to draw eight teams in the first place. In response, Figo said that he was the easiest, "This is also the least easy thing to offend people!"

After the draw, Tottenham Hotspur won the e-seeded team.

The second draw was England's famous football star Bobby Charlton. The Manchester United star said that he has always had good luck, and what he most hopes to do is to draw Tottenham into the death group.

"If possible, I hope to draw a team that can beat Tottenham Hotspur 8-0 into the e-group!"

This immediately caused a burst of laughter at the scene. Everyone knew it was a joke, but Bobby Charlton obviously held a grudge against Tottenham Hotspur's 8-0 away game to slap Manchester United. Everyone even thought that it would be interesting if they really beat the strongest AC Milan.

But it turns out that Bobby Charlton drew Valencia from La Liga. After losing David Silva, David Villa and Juan Mata, it may be difficult for Tottenham Hotspur to pose a threat.

After seeing the lottery results, Bobby Charlton expressed his regrets with a smile, but after the fate, he took the initiative to pass by Ye Qiu and hugged Ye Qiu to show that there was no problem between him and Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu also respected this respected old senior.

The draw guest of the third team is Gulit, a football legend from the Netherlands. He said that he is a fan of Ye Qiu and hopes to help Tottenham draw a weak team, but the problem is that this guy draws Leverkusen.

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone could guess that when the result appeared, some people would definitely say, "Oh, that's right, it's a new player facing his old club, because Tottenham Hotspur's recent popularity midfielder Vidal is a former Leverkusen player.

In fact, in the European football world where players are so frequent, there is a very high possibility that the draw of lottery for almost any event will cause players to face their old club, which is almost impossible to avoid.

The fourth team was drawn by German legend Mattus, and everyone knows that after winning Leverkusen in the third gear, Dortmund in the fourth gear is no longer possible to enter the Tottenham Hotspur group. Unless Ye Qiu is really in trouble and draws Naples, they will encounter teams from the Czech Republic, Romania, Belgium, and even Cyprus, which is almost difficult to pose a threat to Tottenham Hotspur.

But it turns out that Tottenham Hotspur is not that unlucky, and the one who draws Belgian Genk.

Valencia, Leverkusen, Genk, Strictly speaking, Tottenham Hotspur's e-group is still very competitive. Although Tottenham Hotspur is the dominant player, Valencia, Leverkusen and Genk will fight to the death for the second place in the group, among which Valencia and Leverkusen have the greatest chance of winning, and Genk is the weakest.

Of course, this kind of desperate fight will also make Tottenham Hotspur difficult to play, because all teams will try their best to score points when they meet Tottenham Hotspur, or lose better.

Relatively speaking, Manchester City's situation is relatively bad. They draw Bayern Munich, Villarreal and Naples, in the true sense of the death group. These four teams are gathering together, obviously they want to eliminate Manchester City's pace.

Liverpool's luck is not very good. Marseille, Olympiacos and Dortmund are also fiercely competitive groups, but with the strength of the Benitez Cup and Liverpool's strength this season, it is estimated that it will not be very difficult to advance from the group stage.

Manchester United is in the best situation, Ferguson is lucky. He met Benfica, Basel and Galaz Steel from Romania, which almost made it necessary to keep Manchester United out of the group stage.

"Do you believe it? The newspapers tomorrow morning will definitely be a lot of conspiracy theories!" Ye Qiu said with a smile, "Manchester United must be in great trouble. Maybe someone will say that this is Platini who wants to protect Manchester United into the finals!"

Peter Kenyon, who was sitting next to Ye Qiu, laughed at him. This conspiracy theory is actually not very convincing. Of course, there will definitely be schedule control. After all, if there is a strong conversation early, the strong team will be killed, and the finals will be unpopular teams. Who can watch such a game?

But it is certainly not as outrageous as conspiracy theory says!

"From my opinion, Manchester United and Liverpool have little problem with promotion, so Manchester City may stop in the group stage!" Peter Kenyon still has this vision after playing football for so many years.

Manchester City's biggest problem is its ability to fight away games and its ability to fight tough battles. Mancini's European performance is not ideal, especially among the head coaches of top teams. He is also relatively poor. This time he met Bayern Munich, Villarreal and Naples, and there is really little hope of advancement unless he can overcome his bullying of the weak and fearing the strong.

Relatively speaking, Ye Qiu has no much concern about the e-group he is in. As long as he plays normally according to Tottenham Hotspur's strength, there is almost no suspense in the promotion to the first place in the group. This is also his confidence in his team.

When all the teams participating in the Champions League group stage appeared in Monaco and participated in the lottery ceremony, the World Football Economic Forum also began to be held in full swing at the Zhenhua Hotel in Stratford. The venue here is wider than the Hilton Hotel, the facilities are more complete, and the service level is higher.

Because Paul Newman had previously revealed the news, this football economic forum has also attracted great attention from the outside world. Although reporters, fans, players, and even some idle people cannot enter the hotel at will, the omnipresent reporters still found some opportunities in it.

For example, a British journalist was prepared for a long time. They booked a room in the hotel very early, checked into the hotel, and then looked for an opportunity to spy on military information. They quickly got a piece of news that Rome introduced Pianic from Lyon.

Before the official announcement was made, the British Daily Telegraph had leaked the news in advance, with the transfer fee of 10 million euros. What is even more amazing is that this transfer starts from the contact between the two parties and finally completes the transfer, and the entire process is only fifteen minutes.

What efficiency is this?

Complete a transfer of 10 million euros in fifteen minutes, which is simply an amazing speed and efficiency.

Lyon's sports manager Laconbe confirmed the news when he officially announced the transfer at 17:00 pm, saying that it was indeed completed within 15 minutes, but said that the team did not act too hastily and did not make a decision. "All negotiations were participated by player agents, and they even reached a personal treatment contract with Roma on the spot."

"In the Football Economic Forum, there will be many such transfers. Both sides have some understanding and may even have some contact. After negotiations on the Football Economic Forum, the transfer will be finalized on the spot. This is very normal. I even met an agent who handled three players' transfers at the same time, and it will be done within 20 minutes!"

The Football Economic Forum has always given people a mysterious feeling, because the venue is rejected by the media and reporters, and even the protagonists and players of the transfer are also refused to enter the venue, but they can keep in touch and communicate with their agents over the phone to understand the negotiation situation and details.

The players are also very satisfied with this approach, because there are definitely no players who want to negotiate with their old club and new club directly face to face, so it would be better to pass the agent.

As the football economic forum has gradually become popular in the past few years, more and more football clubs, agents and even sponsors have participated. Now it has become a global football event. Almost every continent, most countries with professional leagues will have team representatives sent to participate.

For example, in the Chinese Super League, more and more professional teams have participated in this event in the past two years, and they will also introduce some powerful foreign players or foreign head coaches through some official channels and their own private channels.

The same includes Japan, South Korea, and even the American Major League, which has become increasingly popular in recent years.

The entry of the Football Economic Forum undoubtedly fired the first shot of Zhenhua Hotel, but it was the big event that Paul Newman said to be about to announce that it was the one that was going to be announced.

The reporters were always like ants in the hot pan, restlessly waiting for official news outside the hotel, and waited for three days.

It was not until the last day of the Football Economic Forum, that on the morning of August 31, that they received the news that a press conference will be held in the large conference hall of Zhenhua Hotel in the afternoon, and the specific news will be announced to the public. In the past few years, the Football Economic Forum has gradually become popular, and more and more football clubs, agents and even sponsors are participating. Now it has become a global football event. Almost every continent, most countries with professional leagues will have team representatives.

For example, in the Chinese Super League, more and more professional teams have participated in this event in the past two years, and they will also introduce some powerful foreign players or foreign head coaches through some official channels and their own private channels.
