Compared with previous editions, this Confederations Cup held in Germany can be said to be the most successful one since its inception. The participating teams changed their previous attitude of dealing with errands and brought many main players with them for the purpose of warming up and training for next year's World Cup. For example, Brazil has the absolute main players such as Emerson, Ronaldinho and Kaka coming to participate, and Germany and Argentina have even put their top stars Ballack and Riquelme into the squad for the Confederations Cup!
In terms of ticket sales, this Confederations Cup has also made great progress. In the French Confederations Cup two years ago, the total ticket sales rate only reached an extremely shabby 50%. Even in games played by the host France team, the stadium attendance rate did not exceed 77%. Not only did the ticket sales rate of this Confederations Cup reach 92.7%, the total number of fans watching the game was also nearly 60,000 more than that of the French Confederations Cup! With the good ticket sales, FIFA finally saw a glimmer of hope for the Confederations Cup to get rid of the unfortunate halo of a money-losing event!
In addition, although the final ranking of each participating team has not changed in any way compared with the previous life, under the influence of George, there have been some changes in the final ownership of various awards in this Confederations Cup. For example, the most watched Golden Boot Award is no longer held by Adriano alone. Klose, who scored five goals in just three appearances, shared this honor with the King of Inter Milan!
With this Golden Boot award and his excellent performance in the just-concluded 2004-05 season, which he scored 28 goals on behalf of Tottenham, Klose has successfully joined the ranks of first-class forwards - able to play for Tottenham as a rotation player. Having scored so many goals, and being able to tie with Adriano in the scorer list in just three appearances, and even scoring twice in a row against Argentina and Brazil, Klose's strength is naturally beyond doubt. Doubtful!
Therefore, although Klose failed to enter the top three in the selection of the best player, he successfully joined Ronaldinho, Riquelme, Adriano and others in being selected as the best player in the tournament selected by FIFA. Great lineup!
As for Klose's failure to enter the top three of the Ballon d'Or (that is, the best player), many fans and media complained about his loss and believed that FIFA's selection was unfair. In their view, compared with Adriano, who has won both the Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards, Klose, who has a higher scoring efficiency and does not have as many strong teammates as Adelaide to support him, is more qualified to be a finalist!
It can be said that through this Confederations Cup, Klose finally made a name for himself in international football. He took off the hat of bullying in the World Cup in Korea and Japan and became a real top forward in the eyes of fans!
In addition to being dissatisfied with Klose's failure to be selected into the top three of the Ballon d'Or, Osorio's replacement of Thiago Silva in the best team also caused a lot of controversy among fans. Many people believe that the reason why the former was shortlisted for the best team is not because his performance is really better than that of his sister-in-law, but because it is a product of FIFA's balancing act!
The number of participating stars has increased, ticket sales have improved, and even if there have been more debates about the ownership of awards, these are things that FIFA likes to see. Because in this way, the Confederations Cup, which has always been regarded as useless, will gain attention, and there will naturally be hope for turning losses into profits!
While FIFA is overjoyed for the success of the Confederations Cup, there is a tense atmosphere within the German Football Association. All of them are now experiencing media criticism and pressure from above because of a drainage system failure at Forest Stadium that caused the roof to leak in the Confederations Cup final!
Among them, the evaluations given by "Süddeutsche Zeitung" and "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" were the most eye-catching and harsh - shameful!
That's right! It’s just embarrassing! You know, the Germans have always been famous for being rigorous and conscientious in doing things, and the things they produce are also known for their excellent quality. However, this time, the stadium built on their own land actually had quality problems such as drainage system failure and roof leakage. This naturally made the proud Germans feel ashamed!
Therefore, after the Confederations Cup ended, the German Football Association immediately strengthened the quality inspection of the venues for next year's World Cup to avoid a similar situation happening again - if there are quality problems in the stadiums at the World Cup, Germany's face will be ruined. It's going to be thrown all over the world!
"George, why don't you agree to the royal family's invitation to go to Singapore? Just think of it as a trip there..." Regarding George's choice to return to London instead of going to Singapore with the group, Elizabeth, who was a little crazy, obviously still had some feelings in her heart. Little emotions.
"Ellie, we have been playing for almost a month. It's time to calm down and prepare for the new season." George reached out and touched Elizabeth's long, silky hair and said with a smile, "If you still want to If we want to go out for fun, then just wait until the team goes to the United States to play commercial games."
As the Confederations Cup officially came to an end, George's trip to Germany also came to an end. However, he did not respond to the invitation of the British royal family to follow the Olympic bid team to Singapore to participate in the 117th Plenary Session of the International Olympic Committee scheduled to be held on July 6. Instead, he returned to London to prepare for the upcoming 2005-06 season. Prepare!
Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for George to leave his base camp and go to Singapore to watch an Olympic Committee meeting that had no direct bearing on him. Even though the outcome of this meeting will have a profound impact on his money-making plans and the future development of Tottenham, it cannot make George change his mind!
If London can successfully win the right to host the Olympic Games, the cooperation agreement signed by George and the London Olympic Bid Committee will take effect immediately. That is, the London Olympic Organizing Committee will fully entrust the preparations for the 2012 London Olympic Games to Trafalgar Company. Trafalgar Company needs to complete all supporting facilities and various facilities in and around the London Olympic Park before the agreed deadline. Construction work of buildings (apartments, commercial centers, office buildings, etc.) and ensuring that they can be put into operation on schedule!
Of course, George is not a philanthropist, and it is impossible for him to give without asking for anything in return. According to the agreement previously signed by both parties, when these facilities are put into operation, their ownership and all income except during the Olympic Games will belong to Trafalgar Company!
According to George's plan, wait until then to transfer these assets to Tottenham Hotspur (Tottenham Hotspur is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trafalgar, so this level of capital There is no difficulty in operation), Tottenham's profitability will be the highest in Europe, and even Real Madrid and Manchester United cannot compare with it!
By then, even if UEFA introduces a Financial Fair Play policy, Tottenham will not be able to cause a financial deficit even if they spend hundreds of millions of pounds a year to buy people!
Therefore, it can be said that the final ownership of the right to host the Summer Olympics will largely determine the fate of Tottenham Hotspur in the next ten years or even decades!
