PS: I wish you all a happy holiday during the National Day holiday. I would like to ask for recommendation votes here, thank you...

When Beckenbauer announced his participation in the UEFA presidential election, Platini realized that his hopes for his successful election as UEFA president have become extremely slim - because the French are far from being the opponent of this "football emperor" in terms of personal resume and personal achievements.

There is no need to elaborate on the achievements of the player era. In this regard, the Germans have fewer Golden Boots and one European Golden Ball Award due to their position on the court, but in terms of collective honor, he is much more brilliant than the French - at least Beckenbauer won the European Cup and World Cup championships, and even won the European Cup three times in a row.

In his head coaching position, Beckenbauer even threw Platini out of countless streets: the results of a World Cup championship and a World Cup runner-up were enough to make Platini, who was inexplicably good at being the head coach of the French team.

In management positions, although Beckenbauer did not enter the UEFA internal work like the French, he also made considerable achievements during his tenure as the chairman of Bayern Munich and working for the German Football Association: Bayern, who was once won by teams such as Stuttgart, Bremen, Dortmund, and other teams, could have first-class stars such as Basler and Mattus and become the overlord of the Bundesliga again. It would be absolutely impossible to achieve without Beckenbauer's strong personal appeal; when German football was facing the dilemma of being in trouble, the football emperor came forward to get in touch with Italy, and used Serie A, the world's top football league to train newcomers such as Barack, Novotney, and Schneider, which injected a trace of fresh blood into the increasingly aging German football.

In terms of personal reputation and influence, Beckenbauer is obviously better than Platini. As long as the football emperor comes in person, European countries will sell each other for face; but if it were the French, it is really unknown how many people could buy him...

So, from any perspective, when Beckenbauer announced his election, the probability of Platini winning was already slim.

Although the French domestic media are desperately building momentum for Platini's campaign, their efforts did not cause much response - the Italian Football Association has long been standing in the same trench as Beckenbauer because of Florence. Although the Spanish Football Association and the English Football Association have not had much friendship with the football emperor, they who had close ties with Johnson before obviously would not choose to leave their original camp at this time; there is no need to say much about the Central European countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland. They have good relations with the German Football Association and naturally have to support Beckenbauer instead of a Platini with mediocre friendship.

As for the Eastern European countries led by Russia, Platini has been working hard to make friends with each other over the years, it also took the initiative to stand under the banner of Johnson's faction because of the good cooperative relationship between Zhuang Mingge and Russia's financial oligarchs. The most important thing is that for these financial oligarchs who use personal financial resources to maintain the operation of their clubs, Platini has always advocated the financial fair policy that they hate the most!

In Zhuang Mingge's view, the starting point of the fiscal fairness policy is indeed good. Its main purpose is to avoid those bosses with strong financial resources from disrupting the order of the transfer market without authorization, and to over-concentrate excellent star resources in a few clubs, thereby achieving a formal fairness; however, this policy ignores a very basic issue, that is, the economic conditions of the areas where each club is located on the team's development restrictions.

Without the boss's large investment, clubs in small and medium-sized cities or economically backward areas will never be able to catch up with the wealthy families already at the top of the pyramid. Take Parma, controlled by the Tanji family, as an example. Without the large investment of Parma's early stage and relying on Parma's accumulation just a little bit, it is estimated that people will not see the current milk army in the next 50 years.

As for those wealthy families that are already famous, they can obtain huge sponsorship fees and various financial accumulating plans to balance their expenses with their own popularity, thus safely avoiding UEFA's financial review.

Therefore, the fiscal fairness policy advocated by Platini only maintains the fairness of football on the surface, but in fact, this policy has killed all teams in small and medium-sized cities and economically backward areas to grow up, allowing the strong to stay strong and the weak to suffer!

In this way, when the election ended, Beckenbauer, who was expected to be, defeated Platini with an absolute advantage and was elected as the new chairman of UEFA with a high vote!

With Beckenbauer coming to power, a series of personnel adjustments have also taken place within UEFA, the most obvious change is the list of members of the new UEFA Executive Committee.

Among the fourteen newly appointed executive members, Italy, Germany, Spain and England received two quotas respectively, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Sweden and Denmark each received one quota. However, due to Platini's defeat in the campaign, France, which originally occupied a seat in the UEFA Executive Committee, lost its only executive seat, and unfortunately became the only country among European football powers without an executive seat.

Just as Beckenbauer was successfully elected as the president of UEFA and reorganized UEFA's internal staff, the warm-up series in Fiorentina finally began to gradually get on track with the return of the main players.

After Vieri and Ronaldo returned from vacation one after another, Fiorentina, who finally got rid of the dilemma of being able to play as substitutes and young players in most positions, welcomed another opponent in the warm-up game, Arsenal from the Premier League.

After Wenger entered the arsenal, the Gunners' game style changed tremendously, from the simple and crude traditional English team in the Graham era that year to the one that many Premier League fans now call the most adorable team in England!

However, although Wenger's arrival brought delicate technology and advanced technical and tactical ideas to the originally rough and bold Arsenal, Rome City obviously cannot be built in one day. Arsenal's five defenders have obviously not fully adapted to this kind of technical style. Vieira is still immature after a stunning season, while the future King Henry of Highbury was still accumulating experience in Monaco at this time, and the Gunners' pillars in the frontcourt are still ice prince Borgkamp and Dutch fast mahjöwymas.
