According to the current rules, when a Premier League team participates in the Premier League and domestic cup competitions, the manager can only arrange 16 players in the squad. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 This means that each manager will only have five substitutes available at the time of the game.

However, in the eyes of the managers, having only five players on the bench is far from satisfying their needs in the game. Moreover, most Premier League clubs are now largely at or near full in their first team squad. Therefore, the rule that teams can only bring five substitutes in the game will not only make the Premier League games slightly poor in spectacle and variety, but also a waste of resources for each team.

What's more, the other four leagues in Europe, which are in the same big five leagues as the Premier League, are much more relaxed than the Premier League in terms of the number of substitutes. As a result, the rule that only five substitutes can be brought to play has always been a source of frustration for all managers in the Premier League.

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson once complained in an interview that there are too few substitutes in the Premier League, which makes it impossible for him to arrange more players in the squad for the game, and it is difficult to make appropriate adjustments according to the situation on the pitch in the game: "I think in today's football competition, with the status of the Premier League and the money invested by each team, the team should be able to bring seven substitutes on the pitch in the game. With every Premier League club now having more than 16 first-team squads, it would be a waste to have just five substitutes. For example, we at Manchester United are close to the maximum number of first-team players at 25, but due to the rules, we can only bring 16 players to the game. This is a very big restriction for managers who have excellent on-the-spot adjustment skills, and it is also extremely unfair to players who have the ability but are not included in the squad because of this rule. ”

It is precisely because the rule of only five substitutes is too restrictive on the manager's on-the-spot adjustment in the game, coupled with the rising TV broadcast fees of the Premier League in recent years, the Premier League teams have more and more star resources, so the call for increasing the substitute ceiling is also getting stronger and stronger. After all, no one wants to see a star they've spent a lot of money signing to hang out of the squad because of the rules.

And this time, the sudden death of Vivian Foucet in the Confederations Cup gave these people a very good opportunity to play on the topic!

Yes, although the hospital said that Vivian Fook died of a heart attack, who can prove that Vivian Fook's heart attack was not caused by too frequent appearances? If there are more substitutes in the Premier League, will the manager be more comfortable and bold to take the rotation, so that the players can get more rest?

It has to be said that the propaganda work of the British media is quite passable. Under their propaganda offensive, the FA, knowing that it is difficult to disagree, has to agree that a special meeting will be held to discuss the "increase in the number of substitutes in the team"!

As the owner of Tottenham and one of the driving forces behind this proposal, George naturally wants to return to the UK at this time to participate in the discussion of this proposal, and brush up his reputation and presence for himself and Tottenham. As a result, George had to put aside his plan to travel with Ronaldo for the time being, and at the same time secretly contacted the owners of other Premier League clubs to prepare for this meeting in advance.

If the proposal can be passed through George's covert push, he and Tottenham will surely gain huge prestige in English football, and other Premier League clubs that have profited from it will also owe Tottenham a favor. In this way, Tottenham's difficulties and obstacles on the road to rise can also be much less as a result.

Why did Manchester City burn money for so many years in the previous life, and until 2016, when George crossed, it was not recognized by fans and the media as a giant club? Not getting enough important championship trophies (such as the Champions Cup) is indeed the main reason, but the "Blue Moon" in the process of rising, especially in the transfer market, has damaged the vital interests of many teams, resulting in no one being willing to help Manchester City on this road, but will deliberately set up countless obstacles for it, which is also a very important factor.

On the other hand, Chelsea, in addition to constantly challenging the authority of several giants such as Arsenal and Manchester United, has a much softer attitude towards other Premier League clubs, plus the Blues had a good foundation before Abou took over, and produced excellent results during Mourinho's tenure, so Chelsea was able to change from the "nouveau riche" in people's mouths to a member of the Premier League's "big4" in just five years.

"So, George, do you really plan to go back to the UK now?" At Lisbon Portela Airport, Ronaldo, who came to see off the plane, looked at the "brother" in front of him with some reluctance, "I finally met you, and I thought I could take advantage of the offseason opportunity to go out and have a lap together." Unexpectedly, it's only been two days, and you're going to go back to work. ”

"Haha, Chris (Ronaldo), there's no need to be so downcast. George smiled and patted Ronaldo's shoulder and comforted, "You are also an eighteen-year-old boy now, and you have to learn to be independent...... Besides, we've only been separated for a few days. When the team's summer training camp starts, I'm sure you'll be watching me every day!"

“…… That's just as well. Hearing George's words, Ronaldo also realized that he is now a Tottenham player and will definitely play under the guidance of the other party in the future. Thinking of this, the Portuguese couldn't help but feel much better: "Then I'm looking forward to the day when the team gathers." Don't wait for me to report to work, George, you haven't gathered the number of people who can play an intra-team match~"

"You kid talk nonsense!" George, who pretended to be angry, was about to fight, but Ronaldo dodged with a smile. And the atmosphere of parting was also diluted a lot by the fight between the two.

While George was nervously preparing the materials for the meeting and secretly contacting the owners of other teams to push for the approval of the proposal to increase the number of substitutes at the meeting, Tottenham's recruitment work did not delay his departure.

After successively acquiring Drogba and Petr Cech, two "must-sign players" marked by George, Marotta signed Argentine left-back Gabriel Heinze for Paris Saint-Germain for 6 million euros. The Tottenham then moved north to the Netherlands, where he paid the same fee as Heinze to secure a deal for Anderlecht's rising talent, Vincent Kompany. Marotta then took out a small sum of money and signed Thomas Vermaelen, who was under the age of 18, from another Belgian club, Akron FC in Antwerp!

In less than half a month, five players have been signed, even with George's "logistics", it is enough to reflect Marotta's superb work ability.

Paratic's first destination was Eastern Europe. In the face of Tottenham Hotspur's offer of 7 million pounds, Red Star Belgrade, which has produced famous stars such as Savicevic, Pantsev, and Stojkovic, obediently announced that they would surrender and send away the team's new star central defender Nemanja Vidic. Although CSKA Moscow is also interested in bringing in Vidic, with a better option of Serbia and Montenegro centre-back (Serbia and Montenegro have not yet split into two countries in '03), there is no interest in playing in faraway Russia.

In this way, while Tottenham's recruitment work is proceeding in an orderly manner, the time has finally come to June 29, and on this day, the meeting to discuss whether the bench needs to be expanded will be officially held at the FA headquarters at Wembley Stadium under the expectation of countless people!

Because the owners of the 20 Premier League clubs attending the meeting were different from their teams, there were many cases of mutual hostility and even demolition between them who arrived in advance before the start of this meeting. For example, Liverpool owner David Morse was furious when he saw Manchester United chairman Edwards, and he had reached the point where he would oppose it as long as the latter supported him; George also did not have a good face for Arsenal owner Hillwood because of Tottenham's relationship, and even ran to the other party to ask him if he had no plans to sell Vieira and Henry!

"Don't be delusional! How could our Arsenal players play in your poor Tottenham Hotspur! If you want to eat swan meat, you have to see" The annoyed Hillwood said to George angrily, especially when the latter proposed to buy Vieira for £60 million and Thierry Henry for £50 million.

Hehe, I hope that when Arsenal starts building a new stadium, you can still say it with such confidence. For Hillwood's taunts, George took it to heart. With memories of his past life, he knows very well that since the construction of the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners have never returned to the ranks of the top giants. Therefore, George is not in a hurry to take revenge on Arsenal and the unruly Hillwood in front of him. After all, in his opinion, he has the opportunity to do these things in the future.

Although the relationship between these Premier League owners is not good in private, when the meeting began, everyone was in the same place, and they have been demanding that the FA increase the number of substitutes for each team to seven from this season. The atmosphere of tension between each other before was as if it had never existed.

This is the environment of the Premier League, where clubs can tear each other down and suppress each other in private, but they must be unanimous on major matters, even if they are against the FA or UEFA at the higher level.

In the face of the collective attack of the owners of the 20 clubs in the Premier League, especially with such a real viscount as George, the FA, which was already a head down in momentum, was even more tough at this time, and was defeated at the meeting, and finally had to announce the adoption of this proposal, agreeing that from the beginning of the 03-04 season, each team can bring seven substitutes into the squad for the game, instead of the previous five!
