Rebirth

"BOSS, now we are considered to be a member of the G14 organization. Although we are only a replacement member now, according to our future plans for Chelsea, we will be re-selected after three years and we will become a full member."

This is already the fifth day after the Jianlibao team came to Chelsea. In David Gill’s office, David Gill is reporting to Li Feng. In addition to the two, there are Saki and Mendes. As well as the team’s sports director and other Chelsea-related bigwigs.

Listening to David Gill’s report and flipping through the G14-related documents in his hand, Li Feng was secretly applauding. Sure enough, the last time he had contact with Milan’s two giants was right. Since the last time Li Feng found out about joining After the possibility of G14, David Gill quickly contacted the two Premier League superpowers Manchester United and Liverpool's team chairman.

Knowing the reason and moving the emotion, the two finally agreed to the plan proposed by Li Feng, which is to add a few additional seats in addition to the current G14 to increase the strength of the Premier League among the G14 members. This is Long-term consideration in the future.

After gaining the support of the two Premier League superpowers and the Milan duo, under some operation, although several teams have expressed their opposition, with the agreement of the Serie A and Premier League superpowers, they formally approved the increase of bench seats. Plan.

In the end, the Premier League’s Chelsea, Serie A’s Roma, La Liga’s Valencia, Bundesliga’s Bayer Leverkusen, and French Ligue 1’s Lyon became the first batch of bench seats.

It seems that the so-called bench in the previous life will not appear until later. In this life because of the insertion of Chelsea, it has been advanced. However, in the previous life, Arsenal became the substitute for the Premier League. Now Arsenal has not risen yet, but it was intercepted by Li Feng's Chelsea. Huh.

...

Now David Gill has just returned from Brussels to attend the meeting. This is the second day after the Jianlibao team came. David Gill received a call from the G14 side and asked him to go to Brussels to attend the meeting. A few days later, the meeting ended and came back. Up.

Not only was Li Feng flipping through the documents related to G14, everyone else was also flipping through the documents. When everyone put down the files in their hands, they all smiled happily and congratulated Li Feng, the big boss: "BOSS , Congratulations!"

"John, congratulations, you are only one step away from becoming a European giant."

"..."

Originally, Li Feng had already prepared to return to Los Angeles. Unfortunately, when David Gill was notified to attend the G14 meeting, Li Feng had to stay in London for a few days.

In the past few days, I have watched several Chelsea pre-match training and the Jianlibao team's trial training, and it is not boring.

"OK, David, it's up to you next. I will return to Los Angeles immediately. I have repeatedly postponed my return. The old people at home are scolding me." Li Feng interrupted everyone's congratulations with a smile, and said with a smile.

"BOSS, the new season will start soon, or else, wait until the first game is finished?"

"Uh…"

"By the way, BOSS, the stadium is newly refurbished, and it's the first game of the new season. Don't you just leave it to watch and cheer for the team?"

"No, I really want to remember that the first game of the new season was an away game, right?"

"Hey…"

...

Well, if the first game of the new season is held at home, Li Feng would be in the mood to watch it before leaving, but the first game is away, and Li Feng will not bother to wait. After bidding farewell to everyone, he will prepare for the next day. Back to the United States.

During the chat, I talked about the situation of the team in the new season and the situation of the major teams in the Premier League this season, especially when it comes to the next new season of the Champions League, David Gill and others are all talking about it. After all, Chelsea’s This is the first time in the UEFA Champions League, this group of bigwigs are a little worried.

Similarly, after chatting with everyone, Li Feng couldn't help but think of the 98-99 Premier League giants Manchester United. If the most serious result of the rise of Chelsea last year, it was Arsenal's first Premier League title. No more, and Manchester United, which was able to participate in the Champions League, can now only participate in the UEFA Cup.

It seems to remember that in 1999, Manchester United won the first triple crown in the history of the Premier League, and its reputation is well-known around the world. Now, because of the rise of Chelsea, Manchester United can only participate in the UEFA Cup and Arsenal can only participate in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. Chelsea directly entered the Champions League group stage with the Premier League title last season.

Yes, the current Premier League has not risen yet, and the Champions League has not yet expanded. There are only 24 teams. Only the league champions in the Premier League can directly enter the group stage, and the runner-up has to participate in the qualifiers, and the third place can only participate in the beginning. UEFA Cup.

After the Premier League’s peak, the top four of the group will advance directly to the group stage, and there will be more qualifiers later, which is a mess.

There is no doubt that the history of the Premier League and the Champions League in the current 98-99 season has been completely changed. After all, Manchester United cannot participate in the Champions League. Then the glorious "Triple Crown" of Manchester United in 1999 has completely disappeared.

Thinking of this, Li Feng moved a little bit. Manchester United's triple crown is gone. Can Chelsea make it up?

...

Think about it, last season Chelsea was able to beat Manchester United and Arsenal. After adding a large number of powerful players this season, Chelsea's strength is stronger than last season's strength. Manchester United can win the triple crown in history. Why Chelsea It won't work.

Of course, this is just a beautiful fantasy in my heart. After all, the desire to win the Champions League is not just a question of strength, but also other all-round cooperation, such as strength, opportunity, luck, and even UEFA cooperation, etc., missing one. No.

Besides, didn't Chelsea have won many'triple crowns' last season. Although it was a minor triple crown, after all, they won the Cup Winners' Cup to make up the number, but in any case it is the triple crown.

It’s not like “go your own way and let others have nowhere to go”. Chelsea’s rise is enough. As for when Manchester United will win the triple crown, then only God knows. Anyway, history is not changed once or twice. Take care of yourself. It's fine, how can I take care of other teams?

At the same time, through David Gill's explanation, Li Feng knew that with the establishment of G14, UEFA is also under great pressure. Recently, they are in contact with G14, and then G14 is negotiating with UEFA.

Li Feng knows that after G14 negotiates with UEFA, the Champions League is about to expand. It seems that from the beginning of the 99-00 season, the Champions League will expand to 32 group stage teams, which also means the beginning of the glory of the Champions League.

Come to think of it, when people talk about the Champions League, most of them started by knowing 32 teams. When the 24 teams were in the group stage, many fans were not clear about the situation. After all, for many people afterwards, Those are all ancient times.

......

For Li Feng, who understands the general history of the previous Champions League, the biggest loss for Chelsea’s rise last season may not be Arsenal, who lost the Premier League title, but the brilliant 98-99 season that was able to achieve Manchester United’s triple crown. In this regard, Li Feng can only be silent in his heart while sighing, unfortunately Cui's Manchester United, please be sorry!

In the same way, I really responded that the wings of the little butterfly became more powerful.
