1, Premier League overseas competition
The Premier League 20 Club adopted the "Premier League Overseas Tournament" plan. According to this plan, starting from the 20 10/ 1 1 season, 10 games will be held overseas every season. The plan proposes to expand the Premier League from 38 rounds to 39 rounds. There will be 1 0 matches in five foreign cities around1in overtime, and overseas matches will also be counted in the league points.
After the plan was announced, domestic reactions were mixed. However, michel platini, then president of UEFA, strongly opposed the plan and thought it was very strange. However, some people worry that the extra schedule may be unfair. For example, if Manchester United meets Chelsea and Arsenal meets Derbyshire, Arsenal's chances of winning will definitely be greater than Manchester United, which will also reduce the opponent's chances of winning the championship.
The American Football Association claims that the championship can only be held in the United States with the approval of FIFA, and the AFC strongly opposes this plan. However, Joseph Blatter, then president of FIFA, explicitly opposed the plan, which would affect Britain's bid to host the 20 18 World Cup. 2011February 2 1 The FA rejected the application for the 39th Premier League match;
On March 14, the FIFA Executive Committee unanimously opposed the proposal of the 39th Premier League match. On June 5th of the same year, the decision of the 39th Premier League game was postponed because Manchester United, Liverpool and other three teams strongly opposed the 39th Premier League game and could not reach an agreement.
2. Champions League play-offs
20 10 Premier League proposed to set up a play-off, in which four teams from the fourth to the seventh place competed for the fourth place in the Champions League, in order to break the situation that the "Big Four of Premier League" monopolized the Champions League seats. Although the leaders of the Premier League clubs disagreed, the "Big Four Clubs" immediately raised objections, and Wenger believed that the position of the team that had experienced 38 league games was its proper position.
Benitez said that the current schedule is heavy, and even laughed that the play-offs will be played until the end of this century. On March 4th, the board of directors of the Premier League held a meeting, and the proposal was terminated because it didn't get the support of at least 14 votes from 20 Premier League clubs.
