Winter of the Champions League is approaching! The Premier League s money perpetual motion machine is squeezing European football

On the day when UEFA held a meeting to discuss the "La Liga Overseas Tournament", six Premier League clubs appeared in the Champions League at the same time - this is by no means a coincidence, but the most naked declaration of hegemony in modern football. Premier League CEO Richard Masters said lightly, "We have no overseas game plan yet" because there is no need at all! The globalization of the Premier League has long been completed with capital: 36 Champions League teams have exclusively 6 seats in the Premier League, and almost half of the Premier League is burning money in the European arena - they use 3 billion pounds of summer transfer investment, 2.5 times the total salary of other leagues, to create a perpetual motive force that crushes everything.

But the ridiculous reality is: the league that burns the most money has produced only two Champions League champions in the past three years - the same number as Real Madrid! The so-called "World No. 1 League" has a seat in the Champions League semi-finals, which is even worse than the Premier League itself in 2009. When the five scumbags in the civil war, such as Tottenham and Manchester United, can all rely on their money to squeeze into the Europa League finals, football's competitive fairness has long become an economic joke.

Premier League clubs always complain that the Champions League schedule makes them tired, but the truth is: Even the payroll of Brentford can beat the fourth place in other leagues! This endless inclination makes Premier League teams like dried sugar cane in the Champions League knockout stage - but who cares? Their benches that they piled up with billions of pounds are itself a blasphemy to football civilization.

UEFA's Champions League expansion is more like a cash cow tailored for the Premier League: the traditional "four four" will soon become a "four five", and Premier League clubs have used domestic broadcasting fees (1 billion pounds more than other leagues each year) to bribe themselves with a perpetual promotion channel. And those leagues that really need funds to nourish themselves can't even get the leftovers.

More ironic is that when Bournemouth coach Ilaura used tactical revolution to tear Guardiola's system, the Premier League had already monopolized the innovation ability of European football - a genius coach 15 years ago should have shined in Valencia or Lyon, but now he can only become a white rat in the Premier League tactical laboratory. Even England's top players such as Bellingham and Kane have to vote for Real Madrid and Bayern to touch the threshold of the Golden Ball. Of course, the

Tebas were so anxious that they jumped, but the overseas La Liga match was just a desperate struggle. When Arsenal formed a huge lineup to deal with Chelsea, Barcelona could not even afford the salary of registered players - this huge gap has long exceeded the scope of competition and turned into a bloody dimensional reduction blow to capital.

The significance of the existence of the Champions League is being hollowed out: it will either become a satellite league in the Premier League or be transformed into a variant of the Premier League. UEFA's conference table is full of life-saving plans, but everyone knows that the first domino in the football world has long been crushed by the pound.
