The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 589 The disaster of extinction
When many fans think about problems, they are often easily influenced by inertial thinking.

For example, they will feel that Manchester United and Liverpool are fighting each other on the pitch, and their management often fights with each other. The relationship should be very bad, but in fact, the relationship between Manchester United and Liverpool management is not bad.

Similarly, they will also feel that the management of the Premier League teams have a bad relationship with each other, because poaching is so frequent, and after many teams are poached, the management will come out and swear a few words in the media. Can the relationship be good?

So, this is a kind of inertial thinking.

In fact, the transfer of all teams is basically a transaction of your choice. Don't look at him scolding fiercely in the newspaper, but maybe he is counting money with both hands while scolding, so don't always put Things are too simple and too complicated. To put it bluntly, football is a business for the management of many clubs, especially the owner.

Since football is a business, the management and operation of football can be clearly distinguished from football games.

In other words, it is impossible for you to bring everything that happens on the football field to the operation and management of the team. If you really have so many, sorry, you can't gain a foothold in European football, because It will offend everyone, and you will be left alone in the end. How do you play?
Business is all about harmony and wealth, but football matches are life and death, so they have to separate!

If according to some people's ideas, these Premier League team owners get together, especially when they start discussing player transfers, the atmosphere must be very hot, arguing loudly, and even swearing, but in fact, the real situation is that in In this private venue, everyone gathers together in twos and threes, holding a glass of wine, sitting on the sofa, talking in low voices.

The entire venue was an indescribable gentleman, an indescribable demeanor.

It wasn't until Pete Hillwood saw that everyone who was supposed to come came, so the old British man, who is also the oldest manager among all managers in the Premier League, walked up to the microphone on the stage and called for everyone to be quiet After a while, all the sounds in the venue stopped abruptly.

Perhaps because of Arsenal's dismal results in recent years, and the fact that many people have privately ridiculed them as a star processing factory, Pete Hillwood stood on the stage, showing the high spirits he hadn't seen for many years, at least in his heart Proud, because he feels that what he speaks has weight, at least so many people are listening to him.

"Thank you very much for taking the time to attend this party!" Pete Hillwood said to everyone present with a thick and hoarse voice, "The reason why I invited everyone here is mainly because of one thing I want to discuss it with you in advance, because I think this matter will be related to the future trend of the Premier League and the vital interests of all clubs."

The group of Jeters in the audience kept quiet and listened carefully to what Hill Wood said.

"I believe everyone knows that FIFA and UEFA jointly launched the 6+5 policy, that is, in the 2012/2013 season, the policy of six local players and five foreign players in the starting lineup will be fully implemented, and starting from the new season Implement, improve every year, and we all know why FIFA implements this policy!"

The reason why FIFA implements the 6+5 policy is actually to force the major giants to focus on cultivating local players, and the purpose of doing so is actually to make all the giants or top league teams , free of charge to help the national team train excellent local players to strengthen the strength of the national team and increase the intensity and enjoyment of the national team's games.

In the final analysis, this policy is to fatten FIFA itself and its football associations.

Not to mention that this policy of FIFA violates the EU constitution, and it is difficult to work. Even if it is not unconstitutional, it is a huge retrogression for professional football leagues, because the current professional football leagues are becoming more and more popular. Pay attention to integration, the Premier League is integrating into the European continent, and at the same time, it is also technology-oriented, while other leagues are also constantly integrating.

Even, with the advent of the information age, this integration has risen to a fusion between European football and football in other regions such as South America and Africa. You only need to look at the football leagues of Brazil and Argentina. As well as the players they have trained, you will find that they are gradually becoming European.

And integration requires communication, you need me in you, and you in me, so foreign aid is tantamount to a medium for integration, but FIFA is now forcing the need to ensure that domestic players must start. As far as football teams are concerned, it is definitely a disaster, because you can imagine how many professional teams there are in the UK, and how many professional players there are in this country.

It can be said that the prosperity of the Premier League is brought about by the influx of foreign aid into the Premier League. Without foreign aid, there would be no popularity of the Premier League. Restricting foreign aid actually suppresses the competitiveness of the Premier League.

"I received news that in order to cooperate with the new policy, the FA will implement a registration system for 25 players starting from the new season. At the same time, among the 25 registered players, eight players must be local youth training players. , before the age of 21, you must have three years of experience in the Premier League and the Welsh League."

What Pete Hillwood said surprised many club managers present. They have not received any news from the FA for the time being, but if this is the case, most of the clubs in the Premier League will have to make major decisions. adjustment, because none of them can meet this requirement at all.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur should be regarded as the least affected, especially Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu's team has always attached great importance to youth training, eight local youth training for them , the problem is not big, such as Messi, Hazard, Ramsey, Beckham, Hazard, Cesc Fabregas, Phil Jones, Kompany, Joe Hart
Just pick and choose at will, you can easily make up the quota of eight local youth training, so this new deal has no effect on Tottenham Hotspur, because although these players are all foreign aid, but in 21 They all trained in England and Wales for more than three years before the age of [-], so they all qualify for the FA's eight-man quota.

But for other Premier League teams, this is simply a disaster.

In the past, there was only one restriction on the selection of players in the Premier League, that is, the labor certificate, but if this regulation is passed now, it will be tantamount to putting another curse on the heads of all teams. yards of effective weapons.

To put it bluntly, this is a game.

Not only the FA is playing games with the Premier League teams, but also the national team represented by FIFA is playing games with the professional leagues. Do you really think they will be so willing to pay compensation for the international players who participate in the national team competitions? ?
Don't be silly, while they are paying compensation, they are also making some demands, that is the 6+5 policy!

"This is definitely a disaster for the Premier League!" Pete Hillwood said somewhat sadly.

I believe that there are many club managers present, especially local tyrants such as Manchester City and West Ham United. To purge some players, at the same time, eight local youth training lists must be considered, and another batch of players may have to be introduced.

"Temporarily speaking, I don't know if the Premier League will accept it, but I think we have to respond!" Pete Hillwood really has the posture of being the spokesperson for the Premier League teams. Since then, it has been difficult to reach a consensus on the introduction of the winter break in the Premier League. In this case, the thickness of the bench of the first team can ensure the team's ability to fight on multiple lines. Compared with the mainland teams, they will be at an absolute disadvantage!"

"Also, limiting the number of non-local players will lead to a decline in the competitiveness of the Premier League. The government raised the tax rate before. After considering the government's financial difficulties and the Olympic Games, we have given it an understanding. But now, They have limited the number of foreign aid, which will cause us to lose all advantages."

Pete Hillwood also mentioned the possibility that future transfers will be in for a heap of trouble when the team's first-team roster is limited to 25 men, meaning that when you want to When you want to introduce a player and plug the loopholes and weaknesses of the team, you have to send a player away.

But the problem is that it is easy to sign in, but not necessarily to send players away, especially for some big teams.

Everyone knows why it was difficult for Chelsea to send Shevchenko and Ballack away, because their salaries were too high. When you have a roster limit, these high-paid players cannot make the roster, and you certainly cannot accept them with a salary. If you don't work, then the problem will come. If you want to send them away, the other party will definitely do everything possible to lower the price.

The end result is likely to be that you not only have to bleed a lot of cheap sales, but also have to give some compensation in terms of player salaries. This is definitely a disaster for the selling team!
Of course, what Pete Hillwood said is not a big problem for Tottenham Hotspur, because the age structure of Tottenham Hotspur led by Ye Qiu is well distributed, and Tottenham Hotspur Tottenham's salary structure is also very reasonable, and there is no shortage of buyers for players. Tamim Al-Thani just made a list of acquisitions for Ye Qiu.

But other teams obviously don't think so, even Manchester United and Arsenal, they will inevitably encounter these problems, and Tottenham Hotspur does not have it now, which does not mean that it will not encounter this situation in the future.

"The current development momentum of the Premier League is very strong, especially when more and more international capital is paying attention to the Premier League. We have won the Champions League for three consecutive years. We have teams including Arsenal, Tottenham, etc. top European teams like Spurs, Manchester United and Chelsea"

When Ye Qiu heard that Hillwood ranked Arsenal at the top, he really had the urge to laugh. Hillwood praised Arsenal too much. Can the current Gunners still represent the highest level of the Premier League?Give me a break!

"Our current influence has spread all over the world, and next we will further develop the global market. Our goal is not to localize, but to look at the world. We need to focus on developing the international market, so we need to maintain the league and the team. competitiveness, and foreign aid is undoubtedly the key!"

The strength of England's local players is actually relatively bad. The most famous is Arsene Wenger. He spent more than 22 million pounds to buy more than [-] players at Arsenal. Only seven of them were from England, but [-] were from England. France, and he once mentioned in an interview that the ability of England players is really too bad.

Of course, what Wenger was talking about obviously did not include the top players in England such as Gerrard, Beckham, Ferdinand, etc. He was talking about the vast majority of players, the ability of English players, and the failure of England's youth training. It has long been the consensus of all.

To put it bluntly, if Gareth Barry and other English players form a team and want to challenge teams such as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Inter Milan, that would be utter nonsense!

Although Ye Qiu feels that the new policy will not have a great impact on Tottenham Hotspur, he also agrees with Hill Wood that this new policy is definitely a failure, and it will also limit the development momentum of the Premier League. It may not be able to help the England national team improve its strength.

After all, good players are promoted through internal competition, but if you introduce a new policy to help local players of some teams enter the first team or even play games, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing for those local players? ?I'm afraid there will be more disadvantages than advantages, after all, they have no competitive pressure at all!

Therefore, this new policy is a stupid policy that is thought up by the ass and decides to harm others and not benefit oneself!

If the FA really wants to strengthen the strength of the England national team, it is very simple. You only need to increase the annual funding for youth training, and at the same time carry out a thorough reform of England's youth training system to get rid of the bad habits of the past. With time, the level of England's youth training will improve, the strength of players will improve, and the strength of the national team will naturally improve.

Looking at the past, behind the improvement of the football level of all countries is the improvement of the level of youth training, just like Germany and Spain, without the support of their strong youth training system, do you think there will be a blowout of talent in Germany and Spain?

At the end of Hill Wood's speech, he obviously became very excited, "I got the news that this new policy of the FA will be proposed at the summit in the near future. I think that by that time, all our Premier League teams , we must all come together and make our voices heard.”

Hillwood's appeal has also been responded by many people. After all, this is an issue of vital interest to everyone present, so everyone attaches great importance to it.

Immediately after Hillwood, David Gill also made a statement on behalf of Manchester United. He fully supported Hillwood and believed that the Premier League teams must play their own role instead of being dragged by the stupid bureaucratic FA. Follow your own nose.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, what do Tottenham Hotspur think about this matter?" With the words of Hill Wood who returned to the main podium, Ye Qiu immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Many people are envious, even jealous, because this almost represents Tottenham Hotspur's current status in the Premier League, that is, this North London team already has the two major rivals Manchester United and Arsenal. The qualifications of the traditional giants are on an equal footing. Even if Arsenal is not the sponsor of this rally, it is estimated that the status is not as good as Tottenham Hotspur.

Ye Qiu glanced at Peter Kenyon, and the bald man smiled at Ye Qiu. The two giants of Tottenham Hotspur clearly agreed again. They both chose to support Hill Wood in this matter.

"We fully agree with Mr. Hillwood's proposal on this matter!" Peter Kenyon stood up, representing Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur in public, "Internationalization has a future, England's local structure is too small , the competition in the European football market is fierce, so internationalization is the future of the Premier League!"

"In fact, in the past few years, our revenue from overseas copyright sales has been increasing year by year. The overseas copyright revenue of the new season has exceeded [-] million pounds, surpassing all other leagues in Europe, and even surpassing the four most commercialized American leagues. The major professional sports league has become the top sports league in the world."

Note that the [-] million pounds mentioned by Peter Kenyon is a season's global overseas copyright income except the UK.

"That is to say, the overseas market has completely caught up with the local market. In this case, the New Deal is a step backwards. It is absolutely impossible for us to accept such a policy, because it will bring great harm to our global marketing. It will be a catastrophe, and everyone should pay attention, with the rise of new media and new technologies, the proportion of online copyrights is also rapidly increasing.”

Peter Kenyon's words are to tell all the managements who participated in this meeting from the perspective of actual interests that what the Premier League is facing now is an extremely bright and bright future, and it is also the prospect of extremely high income. However, if the New Deal is accepted now, overseas markets and online marketing will be affected, and the actual interests of all Premier League teams will be hit in the end.

Following Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Liverpool have also expressed their views one after another. They also basically agree with the opinions of the previous teams. After all, this is related to the vital interests of all teams and the future earnings of the team.

After several strong teams in the Premier League have expressed their views one after another, other mid- and lower-level teams have no opinion. To put it bluntly, the big teams still have chips to bear the impact of this new policy. After all, they have high income and high-level players. Appeal, but the middle and lower reaches of the team are different. They can neither attract high-level players, but also rely heavily on the income from the copyright of the Premier League, so they are even more resistant to the potential risks brought by the New Deal than the big teams.

Because of this, the managers of all [-] Premier League teams present reached a consensus on the spot. Led by Hill Wood, Qi Qi appealed to the FA and the Premier League, hoping to freeze this new deal that was still in the making. .
