Throughout the history of England's top flight, the establishment of the Premier League was undoubtedly an epoch-making change.

The Premier League led by Manchester United and many other giants rose up, and with the strong support of Sky TV, the Premier League was established, which completely kicked the FA away and completely got rid of the restrictions, and since then the Premier League has begun a rapid development of 20 years.

Nominally, the Premier League is still under the jurisdiction of the FA, but in reality the management and management rights belong to the Premier League.

Unlike the FA, which is a high-ranking and self-proclaimed industry manager, the Premier League plays more of a stewardship.

The Premier League is made up of 20 Premier League teams, and CEO Skudmore has a lot of power, but he is more interested in the welfare of 20 Premier League teams, and he doesn't even have the power to say his opinion at the annual Premier League chairman's summit or some major decisions about the development of the Premier League.

This is the biggest difference between the Premier League and the FA.

In fact, after so many years, the FA has always been jealous and hateful of the Premier League, on the one hand, envy the other party for holding power, operating hundreds of millions, or even billions of buying and selling transactions every year, and on the other hand, resenting the other party to replace it.

Therefore, over the years, the FA has not been less disgusted with the Premier League in terms of its own one-acre and three-point land, such as referees, schedule arrangements, etc., but in terms of core interests, he has been completely reduced to chicken ribs.

It is precisely because of the experience of the Premier League, whether it is Italy, France, or Spain, that the Football Association is very jealous of the professional leagues of the top league, and it can even be said to be suppressed.

Now, the Spanish Professional League wants to pull up the Eighteenth Road Princes to unveil the rod and start a revolution, and the Football Association is the number one obstacle in front of them, and how to deal with him has become the key to the success or failure of the revolution.

The president of the Spanish Football Federation, Bilal, has considerable influence in Spanish football, in Europe, and in world football, and has not only the Football Association, but also many key departments such as the referee committee, the coaching committee and the players' committee.

If the two sides really get out of control, then the result will be a dead fish, and no one will benefit.

The reason why José Luis and Javier Tebas came to seek Gao Han's assistance is because they value Gao Han's huge influence in Spanish football and world football, especially with the strong rise of the Spanish national team in recent years, as well as the excellent results of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Gao Han's status in Spain has been pushed to a very high position.

Even the former president of the national team, Aragonés, publicly admitted after winning the European Championship that Gao Han has made a great contribution to Spanish football and is the number one contributor to Spain's ability to win the European Championship.

This may be an exaggeration, but it also shows the status of Gao Han in Spain.

The battle with the Football Association is not only a battle of interests, but also a battle for the right to speak, and a big man like Gao Han undoubtedly has a key role in influencing the current situation.

Originally, for a character like Gao Han, he often stayed away from this kind of struggle of interests, maintained his lofty status, and had to salute him for three points no matter who won or lost, but Gao Han had a China Town, which was completely different.

However, both of them also know that in order to convince Gao Han, they still have to show real skills.

……

"Mr. Gao Han, to tell you the truth, the Spanish economy has been developing quite badly in recent years, and the government is also very worried about this, and has always hoped to find more new growth points. ”

As soon as Javier Tebas's words came out, Gao Handeng's heart moved, and he secretly called himself wonderful.

"Prime Minister Zapatero carried out a large-scale restructuring of government institutions last year, not only adding the post of third deputy prime minister, but also elevating the Spanish Supreme Sports Council from the original under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education to the direct leadership of the Prime Minister, with the president of the Supreme Council Risaveschi also serving as the Secretary of State for Sports. ”

Gao Han nodded, "I know about this. ”

"Spain is a big sports country, the sports industry is a very optimistic economic growth point for the government, and the professional football industry is the focus of it, and we are all very aware that the operation of La Liga has been seriously dragged down by the incompetence of the Football Association, the most obvious is the broadcasting rights, as the world's first league, with many superstars, but our broadcasting rights income is far behind the Premier League. ”

"From 2010, the Premier League will officially start a new three-year broadcast contract, and according to this new contract, we will only earn half the broadcast revenue of the Premier League for the next three years, six or seven billion euros less than them every year, but this is only a part. ”

"Even if you leave aside the club, TV broadcasters, advertisers and a range of other ancillary businesses extended by the broadcasting rights, as well as overseas copyright development, these are quite an amazing industrial chain, and the government attaches great importance to them. ”

Gao Han nodded again and again after hearing this, and had to look at Javier Tebas with admiration.

The vice-president of the professional league seems to be deeply committed to the rules of the struggle and is firmly on the side of the government, which together forms pressure on the Spanish Football Federation, which undoubtedly turns things around.

To be honest, any professional football insider will not have a very good impression of the Football Association, because these institutions appear to be neutral on the surface, but in fact there are many shady scenes, just like Qatar has recently operated the right to host the World Cup, I don't know how much, and even FIFA President Blatter has publicly stated that FIFA is independent of secular government powers, and it feels a bit like a country of its own.

But if the professional league can get the support of the government, as the domestic football association in Spain, I am afraid it will really have to comply.

To a certain extent, the interests of the government are consistent with the interests of the professional leagues, that is, to make the professional football industry bigger, and the bigger the industry, the more tax revenue the government will have.

"Then you should have drafted a new distribution plan, right?" asked Gao Han with a smile.

Javier Tebas nodded: "We decided to learn from the practice of the Premier League, Spain's domestic broadcast rights revenue is mainly divided into two parts, 90% to La Liga teams, and the remaining 10% to be distributed in La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation in a ratio of six to four. ”

"Fifty percent of the income allocated to La Liga teams is divided equally by 20 teams, 25 percent is divided according to the league rankings, and the final 25 percent is distributed according to the comprehensive evaluation of broadcast games, social influence and many other aspects. ”

This scheme is very similar to the distribution of broadcast rights revenue in the Premier League, which is basically more mature after years of operation.

"What about the income from overseas broadcasting rights? is it also a Premier League?" Gao Han asked.

In this area, the Premier League adopts a near-even method, which can greatly reduce the income gap between the top teams and the lower teams.

"Yes, it's still sold uniformly and evenly distributed. ”

Although this is only the initial plan given by Javier Tebas, it has to be said that it is very attractive.

"Mr. Gao Han, you know, we only have one broadcaster at the moment, but if we sell the broadcast rights in a unified manner, we can attract other large broadcasters such as Sky TV, especially the Middle East broadcasters who have been very keen to develop the European market in recent years, and the broadcast fee income will also rise. ”

Gao Han agrees with Javier Tebas's judgment that a unified sale can form a joint force, in the short term, Real Madrid and Barcelona may be slightly affected, but in the long run, the interests of the two giants will not be lost.

Or it should be said that their biggest loss is that it is difficult to take the other eighteen teams as their own bans, La Liga will be like the Premier League, more and more powerful teams will emerge, which can greatly improve the competitiveness of La Liga, which is a bit unfavorable for the Spanish Super League duo.

The biggest damage of this broadcast plan is undoubtedly the interests of the Spanish Football Federation, they will no longer be able to completely dominate the broadcast rights and sponsors of La Liga as they are now, and may even be completely reduced to chicken ribs, taking a small part of the income every year, doing things such as promoting grassroots football and organizing grassroots leagues.

Because even La Liga is not under the management of the Spanish Football Federation.

Everyone present looked intently at Gao Han, who was thinking, including Armando Marcos, the general manager of Chinatown.

As a shrewd trader, the Portuguese know better than anyone what this means for Chinatown.

Under the gaze of everyone, Gao Han finally nodded slowly, "This plan is indeed feasible, but I don't think the Spanish Football Association will easily admit defeat, this will be a protracted battle, requiring protracted negotiations and negotiations, you don't forget, the lessons of the past few failures." ”

The Spanish Football Federation is not completely powerless, Bilal has a number of organizations such as the referee committee, the players' committee and the coaching committee, and when the time comes, he will rise to the top and directly ask for a boycott, what should I do?

"Mr. Takahan, what do you mean ......?"

"First build momentum, it is the heyday of Spanish football, if there is no accident, this year's World Cup Spain can still achieve good results, but the league management is a mess, then let everyone see the reasons clearly, and then promote reform with reason. ”

"At the same time, I think it's important to unite the government departments, the clubs, to form a siege against the Football Association, and to actively lobby the players' committee, the referees' committee and the coaches' committee to make it clear to them that the purpose of the reform is not to weaken their interests, but on the contrary, to promote the interests of all, and the Premier League is the best example of this. ”

"The two-pronged approach will definitely form a cohesive encirclement of the Football Association, and the joint pressure will definitely force Bilal to comply. ”

Everyone present nodded again and again when they heard it, Gao Han's words were indeed reasonable.

"However, Bilal has held key positions at UEFA and FIFA for a long time, and his connections are extraordinary, will he invite FIFA and UEFA to intervene when the time comes?" asked Hill Jr. worriedly.

"Intervene?" Gao Leng laughed, "Why are they? The reason why FIFA and UEFA are able to stand high in professional football is because they never easily offend the interests of some big countries, but if they dare to blatantly intervene in the internal affairs of Spanish football, do you think they can take advantage?"

"If they're just fighting with each other, it doesn't matter, if they really want to intervene, Bilal will die at the front, not only the Spanish government won't allow it, but the fans all over Spain won't allow this to happen. ”

"What's more, their means are nothing more than to prevent the Spanish national team and clubs from participating in FIFA and UEFA competitions, but if you think about it, if they do that, what will it be?"

After hearing Gao Han's words, everyone was like an initiation, and they suddenly became enlightened.

And Gao Han looked at their expressions, and smiled bitterly in his heart, he really should let them go to see the power and tactics of the Chinese ancestors, compared with them, the competition for the broadcast rights of La Liga is just a trivial matter.
