"oh? After what you said just now, I don’t think anyone in this room will agree that the Football Association will continue to keep this signing policy. "It’s no surprise to hear Zhuang Ge say this. After all, the other party has just listed the disadvantages of this measure, so it’s naturally not necessary to keep it." So, what are you going to do to replace the current signing system? "
"In this respect, I think we should learn from the practices of the Spanish Football Association and the German Football Association." Zhuang Ge immediately replied, "These two national football associations have made rigid requirements for each team participating in the top league this season, stipulating that the number of Chinese, African and European players in each team’s first team should not exceed five, and those non-European foreign aid are not eligible to participate in the league competition this season."
"Well, that’s a good idea." Although Gianni Agnelli is old, he is not confused. As the saying goes, the good man, the old ghost and the old spirit came up with this policy advantage with a slight turn of the brain. "Leave the number of non-European players for each team so that clubs can adjust their team array enough, and decide whether they will stay or not according to the performance of each foreign aid and the actual situation of the team, and the team can make room for the latecomers. There is no need to worry that after selling a foreign aid, it will be forced to narrow the scope of choices due to policy restrictions, so that it will not be able to
"Grandpa Gianni, you are absolutely right." Zhuang Ge complimented the other side and said, "Take Florence as an example. Let’s say that this winter, we strengthened the depth of the striker bench and searched for players all over the world. Finally, we decided to bring in Julio Cruz, the Argentine center who played for Riverbed at that time. But last summer, we brought in Lei Dongduo, also a non-European player from Real Madrid, which almost ran aground. If Lei Dongduo didn’t pass the Spanish nationality application, I’m afraid we would lose this good substitute striker now."
When Zhuang Ge said these words, except for Moratti and Old Agnelli, a few other participants were whispering in their hearts that you were lucky. Just forget about discovering the rough stones such as vieri and Inzaghi before. How can we find players who are suitable for Florence halfway around the world?
Well, let’s not talk about those who are jealous of Zhuang Ge’s luck. Let’s go back to the discussion on Serie A policy.
"So how can we effectively protect local rookies and let them get full exercise in the top leagues?" Gianni Agnelli’s eyes narrowed, making it impossible to see what he was thinking at this time. "Even if you just said that each team can’t have more than five non-EU players at most, the Bosman Act still prevents us from stopping high-level players from other EU countries from going to Serie A to play in Italy."
"I also have corresponding countermeasures in this respect." Speaking of this, Zhuang Ge secretly said to the German Football Association, I am sorry that you borrowed the solution to the shortage of fresh blood in German football three years later. "My opinion is that each team should set aside a certain number of first-team places for local players and the club’s own youth players. I think there should be no less than six local players in the first team and no less than three youth players in the first team at the same time."
Without waiting for everyone present to express their opinions, Zhuang Ge went on to say, "Here, I want to first define the concepts of local players and youth training players. I believe that it is well understood that the nationality is Italian players. Of course, I would like to add here that those players with multiple nationalities will not be counted as local players if they choose foreign teams from Italy to participate in international competitions. I have a broader definition of youth training player. A player should play in the same club for three years before he is 21 years old. Whether other people’s nationality is Italy or not can be regarded as a youth training player of this club. "
"I think everyone knows very well that if I don’t do this, I’m afraid some teams will not be able to get enough young players into the first team for some reasons; And this will also give you a wider range of choices when training young players, and you will not be bound by the narrow Apennine Peninsula. "
"Well, Antonio, your idea is very novel." After listening to Zhuang Ge’s statement, Old Agnelli nodded and said, "I think this plan is very good. What do you think?"
Gianni Agnelli, the most powerful man in Italy, agreed. What else can others say? Good nodded and agreed to Zhuang Ge’s reform plan.
However, in order to ensure the stability of Serie A during the reform period, Old Agnelli made some modifications to Zhuang Ge’s plan. In 1979, each Serie A team must have six local players and two less youth players. After that, each of these two items should be increased by one place until the goal of no less local players and no less than four young players is achieved.
Chapter 59 Union meeting (3)
After his carefully planned reform plan got everyone’s approval, Zhuang Gema checked the shortcomings of this plan he just said.
"And Grandpa Gianni, I think we should limit the number of first-team players in each team when they play. Otherwise, if someone tries to expand the number of first-team players by opportunism, these players will probably not get enough opportunities to exercise in the limited number of games, and the original intention of this plan will probably be …"
The last words Zhuang Ge didn’t go on because he believed that the old Agnelli had understood what he wanted to say.
"Antonio, you think very well. We really should consider these aspects. Some people have to make a first-team with as many as 30 or 40 players and cram a few young players into it." After a little thinking, Old Agnelli agreed with Zhuang Ge’s idea. "In case someone really wants to take this crooked path, this reform of Serie A may become a laughingstock in the eyes of fans all over the world … so we must implement this reform and never allow a team to cheat there! Did everyone hear clearly? "
When he said this, the old Agnelli stared at Moratti, who was sitting at one end of the table, and the latter was shocked. He quickly patted his chest and promised that he would do his best in Italian youth training before he escaped from the old Agnelli’s eyes
It is no wonder that Moratti was paid so much attention by the old Agnelli. After all, he belongs to Serie A Seven Sisters. Inter Milan has never produced a decent youth player. Finally, a Delvecchio was sold to Rome. Who did he say?
"I think it’s better for everyone to work together to determine an acceptable number because of the limited number of people in this first-team team." Old Agnelli knew that relying on his prestige accumulated over the past decades, although no one dared to refute his speech on the spot, it would be difficult to arouse strong resistance from others by blindly pushing this reform plan in such a high-handed way
Therefore, in order to reduce the resistance of this part of the people, the old Agnelli made such a move to let everyone participate in this discussion-anyway, the number of first-team players is decided by the people of ten teams. In case someone wants to go back on their word later, he has to think carefully about whether it is worthwhile to put his letter in just a few players.
In the western world, personal trust is a very important thing. Without it, a person, a team or a company will face a difficult situation.
Otherwise, why did you never regain your former glory after your release from prison, such as Tapi and Tanzi? One of the more important aspects is that no one dares to believe them any more-you have cheated those people once before, and now how many people will believe them even if you talk too much?
"I think it is more appropriate to keep the number of first-team players at 20." Moratti, the most active venue, was implicitly criticized by the old Agnelli just now, so Lazio President cragnotti took the lead to express his opinion.
Sure enough, before cragnotti’s voice fell to the ground, his arch-enemy Franco Sensi was the first to jump out and refute his opinion.
"cragnotti, chairman of the first team to twenty players not too much? You know, a game can be counted as a substitute, and there are only ten players in the big list. What do you want to do with the remaining ten? Even if some players are suspended or injured, it’s not too much to prepare, is it? And a first-team team with as many as 20 players will be quite unfavorable for the training of young players, right? After all, young people are not fully mature in terms of ability and experience! "
Although Sensi’s words were deliberately aimed at cragnotti, because what he said was reasonable, cragnotti couldn’t think of any powerful words to refute him at the moment so that he could sit back to his seat with a full stomach.
See cragnotti beaten originally want to take the opportunity to come out to agree with this opinion, people also put their ass back on the chair, at the same time, I feel glad in my heart that I didn’t come out and be on the same front with Lazio boss just now. Didn’t you see that old Agnelli’s face turned black after hearing Sensi’s speech?
"I think the first team needs 20 players to cope with the whole league, and it can also give young players enough exercise opportunities. If there are more players, it will cause unnecessary burden on the club’s finances." Houdusse President Lao Bozo also came out to express his opinion
However, Pozzo’s idea was also bombarded by others.
"Isn’t it a little too little for President Pozo’s twenty players to talk?" Mantovani Jr. got up with a smile and said, "We all know that it is very easy for you not to play in Europe in Houdusse this season, but you should at least consider the feelings of our teams who are going to play in Europe this season, right?" There are 20 first-team players in Europe, where can we still play the game? " (Note: Due to the butterfly effect caused by Zhuang Ge’s crossing, Houdusse failed to get a place in the European War after finishing first in the league in Sampdoria.)
Alas, it’s no wonder that Sampdoria will decline in your little hands. Your broken mouth alone is disgusting enough. Seeing mantovani’s words made Bozo, who has always been gentle, blush with anger. Zhuang Ge shook his head secretly and said that it seems that even if he crossed Sampdoria, he was doomed to be defeated by mantovani.
Rome and Lazio, the sworn enemies, bicker every day, so forget about Houdusse. However, a well-known centrist in Serie A is good at running Old Pozo, and even if you have a little objection to Pozo’s opinion, why don’t you just say that you will stick to the physical fitness law for participating in the European War? There is no need for Houdusse not to enter the European War! What benefits can you get from making people look bad or what?
Today, your words have offended people to death. Can you catch Sampdoria later? It’s good not to be killed!
If you don’t die, you won’t die. It seems that paolo mantovani, the current president of Sampdoria, will never forget this truth.
Chapter 51 Union meeting (4)
Although mantovani’s words are extremely provocative, he is not wrong. If the number of first-team players is really limited to 20, I am afraid that the top seven teams in the league will not consider the European performance this season, because their main fighting capacity has been exhausted in the league.
It is because of this consideration that the old Bozo proposal was strongly opposed by the owners and managers of these teams. Even AC Milan manager Adriano Galliani joined the opposition because he knew that it was time for the top three in the North and AC Milan to return to Europe. At this time, helping these people is tantamount to helping themselves.
So, of course, the Bozo case was rejected, and the discussion resumed …
After more than two hours, a group of Serie A team owners and managers left the room with tired faces, but their faces were more or less satisfied.
"Grandpa Gianni, thank you for your help." After the meeting, Zhuang Ge thanked the old Agnelli in the meeting room where someone had gone to the house. "If you hadn’t personally come out this time, I really wouldn’t be able to accept the reform plan this time."
"Ha ha Antonio, what are you talking about!" Hearing Zhuang Ge, I thanked the old Agnelli and laughed. "I didn’t come here just to help you. If you come up with a plan at this meeting that is worthless, old man, I will definitely take you to pieces."
At the just-concluded professional league meeting, after a long discussion on the season, ten clubs participating in Serie A finally reached an agreement on the league reform, and decided that four days later, the football association meeting would be attended by teams qualified to participate in this meeting on behalf of all Serie A teams, and the draft reform would be formally submitted to the Italian Football Association, asking the other side to carry out a thorough reform of Serie A according to the plan.
There are six points in the draft.
1. Abolish the existing non-European foreign aid introduction system in Serie A this summer, and change the number of non-European players in each Serie A team to no more than five. If the circumstances are serious, ten league points will be deducted.
Second, from the beginning of the season, the first team of Serie A clubs must have a specified number of local players and youth players, and this limit will increase year by year until it reaches four local players and youth players. If this indicator does not meet the requirements, the team will be forced to reduce the foreign aid limit for non-European countries, and one quota will be deducted for each missing player.
Third, it is stipulated that the number of first-team players in Serie A clubs should not exceed 25. All teams must report to the Football Association before the Serie A season. Players outside the list of 25 people will not be qualified to participate in the Serie A in the new season, and offenders will be punished.
Four, from the season, all clubs in Serie A must have youth training facilities that meet the standards, and each Serie A youth team must have three professional training venues, three youth training coaches, goalkeepers, team doctors and medical rooms. If any club fails to comply with the above regulations, it will be disqualified from participating in Serie A.
Five, from the season, the professional league will set a new standard for the stadium. All Serie A teams must meet the requirements of the standard at home, such as whether the turf geothermal and drainage system are in line with the stadium stands, whether the security measures are complete, and so on. Moreover, this standard will increase year by year with the passage of time, and teams that do not meet the requirements will be disqualified from Serie A.
By the way, to ensure the interests of the newly promoted teams, these teams will not be required to meet this standard immediately, but will be given a hard requirement in the second season after they are successfully promoted.
Six, from the season, the distribution of Serie A bonuses will be adjusted to a certain extent. The target is all the teams participating in the European Games in the season. If these teams have the reserve strength to compete for a better place in the League and get out of the European Games prematurely, then these teams will be deprived of the Serie A bonuses, and some penalties will be deducted for the season-watching broadcast.
