Chapter 601 The disaster of extinction
Many fans are often easily affected by inertial thinking when thinking about problems.
For example, they will feel that Manchester United and Liverpool are fighting on the court, and their management often quarrels, so the relationship should be very bad, but in fact, the relationship between Manchester United and Liverpool's management is not bad.
Similarly, they also feel that the management of Premier League teams has a bad relationship with each other because they poach each other so frequently. After many teams are poached, the management will come out and curse in the media. Can such a relationship be good?
So, this is an inertial thinking.
In fact, all team transfers are basically a deal that you want to do. Don’t look at him scolding him fiercely in the newspaper, but maybe he is counting money with both hands while scolding him, so don’t always think about things too simple and complicated. To put it bluntly, football is a business for the management of many clubs, especially the bosses.
Since football is a business, then the management and management of football will be clearly distinguished from football matches.
In other words, you cannot bring everything that happens on the football field to the team's management and management. If you really have so many, I'm sorry, you can't gain a foothold in European football at all, because you will offend everyone, and in the end you are the only one left, how can you play?
Business is about harmony and wealth, but football matches are life and death, so they have to separate
If some people think, these Premier League team owners gather together, especially when they start discussing player transfers, the atmosphere must be very hot, quarreling loudly, or even cursing. But in fact, the real situation is that in this private venue, everyone gathers together in groups, holding a glass of wine in their hands, sitting on the sofa, and talking in a low voice.
The gentleman who could not be described in the entire venue and the demeanor who could not be described in words.
It was not until Pete Hillwood saw that everyone who was supposed to come came, so the oldest British manager, who is now the senior manager of the Premier League, walked to the front of the microphone on the stage, calling on everyone to be quiet, and then all the sounds in the venue stopped abruptly.
Perhaps because of Arsenal's bleak results in recent years and the relationship that many people have privately teased as a star processing factory, Pete Hillwood stood on the stage and showed a spirit that he hadn't seen for many years. At least he was proud of himself because he felt that he still had weight in his words, at least so many people were listening to him.
"Thank you very much for taking the time to attend this party," Pete Hillwood said to everyone present with a strong hoarse voice, "The reason why I invited everyone here is mainly because I want to discuss it with you in advance, because I think this matter will be related to the future Premier League trend and the vital interests of each club."
The group of Jets in the audience remained quiet and listened carefully to Hillwood.
"I believe everyone knows that FIFA and UEFA jointly launched the Uf5 policy, that is, in the 013 season, the policy of six local players and five foreign players in the starting lineup will be fully implemented. It will be implemented from the new season and will be improved year by year. We all know why FIFA will implement this policy
The reason why FIFA implemented the Uf5 policy is actually to force all major teams to focus on cultivating local players. The purpose of this is actually to allow all giant teams or top league teams to help the national team train excellent local players for free, so as to strengthen the strength of the national team and increase the intensity and viewing of the national team competition.
After all, this policy is to fatten FIFA itself and their Football Association.
Let’s not talk about the policy of FIFA that violates the EU’s constitution and is difficult to work. Even if it is not unconstitutional, it is a huge regression for professional football leagues, because the current professional football leagues are increasingly focusing on integration. The Premier League is integrating into the European continent and is also technical, while other leagues are constantly integrating.
Even with the advent of the information age, this fusion has risen to a fusion between European football and football in other regions such as South America and Africa. Just look at the football leagues in Brazil and Argentina and the players they have trained, and you will find that they are gradually becoming European.
Integration requires communication, you need me and I have you, so foreign players are equivalent to a medium of integration, but FIFA is now forcing the start of their own players. This is definitely a disaster for Premier League teams, because you can imagine how many professional teams there are in the UK and how many professional players there are in the country.
It can be said that the prosperity of the Premier League is brought about by the influx of foreign players into the Premier League. Without foreign players, there would be no popularity of the Premier League. It restricts foreign players and actually suppresses the competitiveness of the Premier League.
"I have 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 players, eight of the 25 players must be local youth training丨In other words, before the age of 21, you must have three years of experience in the Premier League and the Welsh League."
Pete Hillwood's words surprised many club managers present. They have not received any news from the FA yet, but if this is the case, most clubs in the Premier League must make major adjustments because they simply cannot meet this requirement.
Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur should be considered the least affected, especially Tottenham Hotspur. Ye Qiu's team has always attached great importance to youth training丨Eight local youth training丨For them, there is no big problem, such as Messi, Hazard, Ramsey, Beckham, Hazard, Fabregas, Phil O Jones, Kompany, Joe O Hart
Any choice can easily gather eight local youth training places, so this new policy has no effect on Tottenham Hotspur, because although these players are all foreign players, they have been trained in England and Wales for more than three years before the age of 21, so they are all in line with the 8-person quota of the FA.
But for other Premier League teams, this is simply a disaster.
In the past, there was only one restriction on selecting people in the Premier League, that was the labor certificate, but if this regulation is passed now, it would be like putting a tight curse on all teams' heads, which is undoubtedly an effective weapon for the FA to gain its own weight.
To put it bluntly, this is a game.
Not only is the FA playing against Premier League teams, but also the national team represented by FIFA. They are playing against professional leagues. Do you really think they will be so willing to pay compensation for the internationals participating in national team games?
Don't be stupid. While they are paying compensation, they are also making some demands, that is, the Uf5 policy
"This is definitely a disaster for the Premier League," said Pitt and Hillwood a little sadly.
I believe there are many club managers present, especially rich teams such as Manchester City and West Ham United. They are also very popular. Teams including Chelsea and Liverpool, which have a list of about 30 players, must now clean up some players. At the same time, eight local youth training rosters have to be considered, and a group of players may be introduced.
"For the time being, I don't know if the Premier League will accept it, but I think we must react." Pete Hillwood is really a bit of a spokesperson for the Premier League teams. "Everyone knows that it has been difficult to reach a consensus on the issue of the Premier League introducing the winter break. In this case, the bench thickness of the first team can ensure the team's ability to fight on multiple lines, but if it is limited to 25 people, then we will be at an absolute disadvantage compared to the European continent."
"Also, limiting the number of non-local players will lead to a decline in competitiveness in the Premier League. The government has raised the tax rate before. After considering the government's financial difficulties and the Olympics, we have all understood it. But now, they have limited the number of foreign players, which will lead to us losing all our advantages.
Pete Hillwood also mentioned a possibility that when the team's first-team roster is limited to twenty-five players, there will be a lot of trouble in future transfers, that is, when you want to introduce a player and plug the team's loopholes and weaknesses, you have to send a player away.
But the problem is that signing players is easy, but it may not be necessary to send away players, especially for some big teams.
Everyone knows why it was difficult for Chelsea to send Shevchenko and Barack away at the beginning, because their salaries were too high. When you have a roster limit and these high-paying players cannot make it to the roster, you will definitely not accept that they are not able to live with their salary. Then the problem arises. If you want to send them away, the other party will definitely try every means to reduce the price.
The final result is that you are not only going to have to have a cheap sale that will cause heavy bleeding, but also have to give some compensation to the players' salary. This is definitely a disaster for the team that sells people.
Of course, what Peter or Hillwood said is not a big problem for Tottenham Hotspur, because the age structure of Tottenham Hotspur led by Ye Qiu is well allocated, and the salary structure of Tottenham Hotspur is also very reasonable, and there is no shortage of buyers. Tamim River Le Thani just opened an acquisition list for Ye Qiu.
But other teams obviously don't think so, even Manchester United and Arsenal, they will inevitably encounter these problems. Tottenham Hotspur does not have them now, which does not mean that this situation will not happen in the future.
"The Premier League is developing very strongly now, especially as more and more international capital is paying attention to the Premier League trends. We have won the Champions League championship for three consecutive years. We have top European teams such as Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Chelsea."
When Ye Qiu heard Hillwood put Arsenal at the forefront below, he really had the urge to laugh. Hillwood was too proud of Arsenal. Can the Gunners now represent the highest level in the Premier League? Don't be funny
"Our 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 forward to the world. We must focus on developing international markets, so we need to maintain the competitiveness of the league and the team, and foreign players are undoubtedly the key."
The strength of English local players is actually relatively bad. The most famous one is Wenger. He spent more than 200 million pounds to buy more than 80 players at Arsenal, of which only seven are England, but twenty-two are from France. He once mentioned in an interview that the ability of English players is indeed too bad.
Of course, what Wenger said obviously does not include top players in England such as Gerald, Beckham, Ferdinand. What he said is the vast majority of players, the abilities of English players, and the English youth training! Failure has long been a consensus among everyone.
To be honest, if you want to form a team with local English players such as Gareth or Barry and want to challenge Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan, it would be a complete dream talk
Although Ye Qiu felt that the new policy did not have a great impact on Tottenham Hotspur, he also agreed with Hillwood's statement that this new policy is definitely a failure, and it will also limit the development momentum of the Premier League, and may not help the English national team improve their strength.
After all, good players are improved through internal competition, but if you introduce a new policy to help some teams' local players enter the first team or even play in the game, do you think this is a good or a bad thing for those local players? I'm afraid the disadvantages will be more than the benefits, after all, they have no competitive pressure at all.
So, this new policy is a stupid policy that can harm others and be self-interested.
If the FA really wants to strengthen the strength of the English national team, it is very simple. You just need to increase the funds allocated to youth training every year, and at the same time, thoroughly reform the English youth training system to break the previous bad habits. In addition, the English youth training level will be improved and the players' strength will be improved.
Looking at the past, behind the improvement of football level in all countries, the improvement of youth training levels is the improvement of youth training levels. Just like Germany and Spain, if they do not have their strong youth training system as their backing, do you think the talents in Germany and Spain will have a blowout?
Hillwood was obviously excited at the end, "I got the news that this new policy of the FA will be proposed at the summit soon. I think that by that time, all our Premier League teams must unite and make our voices."
Hillwood's appeal has also received a lot of responses. After all, this is a matter of personal interest to everyone here, so they all attach great importance to it.
Following Hillwood, David Gill also made a statement on behalf of Manchester United. He fully supported Hillwood, believing that Premier League teams must play their role, rather than letting the stupid bureaucrat FA pull their noses.
"Mr. Ye Qiu, what do you Tottenham Hotspur think about this matter?" With Hillwood's words back to the main podium, Ye Qiu suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Many people are envious and even jealous, because this almost represents Tottenham Hotspur's current status in the Premier League, that is, this North London team is already on par with Manchester United and Arsenal, the two traditional giant teams. Even if Arsenal is not the initiator of this rally, his status is probably not as good as Tottenham Hotspur.
Ye Qiu glanced at Peter Nion, and the bald man smiled at Ye Qiu. The two giants Tottenham Hotspurs were clearly agreeing again. They both chose to support Hillwood in this matter.
"We fully agree with Mr. Hillwood's proposal in this matter." Peter Neon stood up, representing Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur's statement in public, "Only internationalization has a future. England's local structure is too small, and 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 overseas copyright sales revenue has been rising year by year. The overseas copyright revenue in the new season exceeded 500 million pounds, surpassing all other European leagues, and even surpassing the four major professional sports leagues in the United States, which have the highest commercialization level, and becoming the first of the sports leagues in the world."
Note that what Peter Nion said is £500 million is a global overseas copyright income in a season except for the UK.
"In other words, the overseas market has completely caught up with the local market. In this case, the new policy is to reverse the situation, which is a regression. We will never accept such a policy, because it will bring a catastrophe to our global marketing. And everyone should pay attention that with the rise of new media and new technologies, the proportion of online copyright is also increasing rapidly."
Peter Nien's words tell all the management teams participating in this meeting from the actual interests that the Premier League is now facing an extremely bright and brilliant future and a prospect of extremely high income. If the new policy is accepted now, it will affect overseas markets and online marketing, and ultimately the actual interests of all Premier League teams.
Following Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Liverpool have also made statements one after another, and they have basically agreed with the opinions of the previous teams. After all, this is related to the vital interests of all teams and the team's future benefits.
After several strong teams in the Premier League have made their statements one after another, other mid- and lower-level teams have no objection. To put it bluntly, big teams still have bargaining chips to withstand the impact of this new policy. After all, they have high incomes and high-level players' appeal, but mid- and lower-level teams are different. They cannot attract high-level players, and rely heavily on Premier League copyright income, so they are even more resistant to the potential risks brought by the new policy than big teams.
Because of this, the management of all the 20 Premier League teams present reached a consensus on the spot. Led by Hillwood, Qiqi called on the FA and the Premier League, hoping to freeze this new policy that is still brewing.
Chapter completed!
