PS: This is the first update today. I will post the additional updates for 136,000 recommended later. Well, that's it.

Before this selection, G14 had already screened the qualifications of many alternate member clubs, and finally selected five clubs to enter the final selection.

The five candidate clubs are: Arsenal in the Premier League, Feyenoord in the Netherlands, Benfica in Portugal, Glasgow Rangers in Scotland, and Serie A club Lazio.

However, before the voting began, Van Prag, who chaired the meeting, walked onto the stage and announced that the conference had entered a break.

In fact, the meeting has not been held for too long. Van Prague arranged this mainly to give all executive members a space for buffering and thinking, and to ensure that the subsequent voting process continues as smoothly as possible, so as not to make the entire voting seem too long because some people have been considering it for too long. In addition, it is also to give the club representatives on the shortlist to time and the executive members. After all, if you want to become a member of this wealthy league, it will not work without connections.

So, when Van Prager announced the temporary suspension of the conference, representatives of the five candidate clubs rushed forward and headed straight for their previously selected "goals to win over".

As the chairman of the Fiorentine Club, Zhuang Mingge did not receive much attention from these representatives because these people know that this young chairman will definitely support the team from his own country.

However, no one came to chat with Zhuang Mingge, which does not mean that Zhuang Mingge doesn't want to talk to someone.

"Chairman Beckenbauer, you really made it easy for me to find a meal!" Since it was in public, Zhuang Mingge couldn't greet the football emperor too intimately, so he had to change his name to a more formal one.

"Oh? It's Chairman Corleon. It's been a long time since we saw that the wind blowing you to me?" Seeing that the person who called me was Zhuang Mingge, Beckenbauer was stunned for a moment and greeted with a smile on his face.

"Well, I want to discuss some private matters with you. I wonder if Chairman Beckenbauer, do you have this time?"

"Haha, of course there is no problem." Beckenbauer said, waved his hand to the Feyenoord representative who was standing aside but wanted to speak, politely declined the other party's intention to contact each other, and left the conference room side by side with Zhuang Mingge.

Since Florence and Ajax have always had a good relationship, when Zhuang Mingge found Van Prag, the other party happily lent a small house with good sound insulation to Zhuang Mingge and others to "rest".

Led by the staff of the Ajax Club, Zhuang Mingge and Beckenbauer walked into the small house, and Karin and Heness followed closely behind.

"Tell me, boy Antonio, what are you going to talk about when I come to me this time?" Seeing that there were only four of them in the whole room, Beckenbauer was no longer as polite as before. He sat down on the sofa and said, "Can you finally think about it and plan to sell Stefan (Effenberg) to Bayern?"

"Ahem, you're thinking too much..." Zhuang Mingge was choked by Beckenbauer's words and quickly explained his purpose to the other party, so as not to say something amazing about the old man in front of him. "Franz, I heard that President Johnson plans to participate in the FIFA presidential election next month?"

"That's right." Beckenbauer nodded. Johnson's plan to run for FIFA president is already well known. As a ally of Johnson, he does not need to keep this issue secret. "From the current campaign situation, Johnson's chances of winning are quite high. Compared with Johnson's temporary successor Blatt, the old man Avilanje, has a considerable gap in qualifications and achievements, which is not worth worrying about."

You know you would be so optimistic, otherwise Johnson would not have been defeated by Blatt, who had been writing a short check in history when the situation was very good. Hearing Beckenbauer's answer, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but complain a few words in his heart.

However, Zhuang Mingge did not worry too much about this, but told Beckenbauer all the shady scenes he remembered about this election.

That's right, Zhuang Mingge found Beckenbauer this time, hoping to use his mouth to help Johnson defeat Blatt in the upcoming FIFA presidential election and become the new FIFA president!

In Zhuang Mingge's opinion, although Johnson has done some confusing things, the UEFA president's style is obviously much better than Blatt's kind-hearted guy. At least he will not put some shameful things on the surface to disgust people.

For example, if Italy was blackmailed by the stick in 2002, if FIFA had not given the tacit approval, how could the Ecuadorian referee openly blow the black whistle in front of so many fans around the world?

"Haha, it seems that President Johnson is very confident in this election." Speaking of this, Zhuang Mingge's tone suddenly changed, "However, I have heard that according to reliable news, in order to win more votes, Blatt privately promised to the AFC that Villapan would serve as the Secretary-General of the next FIFA. At the same time, in addition to the two hosts, there will be three more places to Asia in addition to the two hosts. At the same time, Blatt also agreed to South Africa to ensure that it will be hosted by the 2006 World Cup!"

"Wait! Antonio, do you mean that Blatt is likely to make some promises to football federations of various continents in exchange for votes in the election?" After listening to Zhuang Mingge's narration, Beckenbauer frowned and said angrily, "The Korean and Japanese World Cup will give three places in Asia, and the 2006 World Cup promise will be hosted by South Africa... This is too exaggerated, right? He Blatt is not the president of FIFA, how dare he make such a promise easily!"

The football emperor's anger makes sense. Not to mention that Blatt has not been successfully elected, even if he becomes the president of FIFA, he will have to make decisions through the votes of all executive committee members to decide these two things, which is definitely not something that can be fulfilled in private.

"Well, although we know that the possibility of success of these two things is very small, it is not certain in the eyes of the AFC and the African Football Federation. After all, people are lucky. Of course, they would rather believe that such a great thing as a pie in the world than take the initiative to consider the chance of Blatt fulfilling his promise." Zhuang Mingge shrugged and said helplessly.
Chapter completed!
