"What, Barwell."

Rist put down the newspaper in his hand and looked up at Merkley. Merkley looked at the newspaper in Rist's hand, shook her head, and said, "I have a headache." I didn't expect that we, Mr. President, would really want to make drastic reforms. I looked a little scared, afraid that those giants would concentrate their firepower on me. ”

"Huh."

Rist has been keeping a low profile in recent times. Anyway, the benefits of changing the fishing, Riester has already taken it all in his hands. Agents are the main ones in the transfer period, but after the transfer period has passed, they should not appear in the media too much.

But Rist is low-key, but life is not monotonous at all. Watching the comings and goings of European football, swords and Hokage, it's very cool to see. Because of the boom in the European transfer market, UEFA President Platini is furious. Platini is working on a "financial fair play policy" that has already begun to be discussed in the UEFA Executive Board. Since Platini became UEFA president last year, he has spent nearly a year and a half trying to adopt a "fiscal fair play policy".

But at this time, the big clubs and nouveau riche in European football used a stunning transfer to satirize Platini's new policy. This summer's transfer made Platini himself furious. How could they make Platini comfortable with such a naked slap in the face. Platini is also very bold, and the first to criticize is Real Madrid, the number one giant in world football, and Manchester City, the first upstart in European football, who doesn't care about Florentino's strong ability and influence at all.

"These transfers that are extremely out of the normal range are happening almost every day now. These transfers are a serious challenge to the spirit of fair play and a threat to our concept of financial balance in all competitions. The uncontrolled transfers of Real Madrid and Manchester City are bound to disrupt the transfer market. It will also affect the orderly and long-term development of football. When the time comes, they will all be the sinners of European football. ”

Who is Florentino? When he first served as president of Real Madrid, it was also the most arrogant time for the G14. At that time, he was even able to sit on an equal footing with FIFA President Sepp Blatter and UEFA President Johansson.

Although you Platini is claimed to be the best player in French history and is the current president of UEFA, Florentino still does not take him seriously. Platini is not on the same level as Blatter and Johansson. So Florentino shot back directly: "Real Madrid has money, so buy players." Even if we take out a loan, it's money we raise ourselves, and it has nothing to do with UEFA. In the future, the loan will also be repaid by Real Madrid, and there is no need for European football to care. ”

Florentino disdained Platini. The up-and-coming nouveau riche didn't care about Platini either. Manchester City's CEO spoke very kindly. No swear words were uttered either. But the whole article has one meaning: Lao Tzu is rich, we spend our own money, it's your business.

Not only that, but the Daily Mirror slammed Platini for inconsistency. Especially in 07, Real Madrid had news that Fabregas was going to be introduced. At the time, media reports suggested that Real Madrid could bring in Cesc Fabregas for almost 60 million euros. At the time, Platini said it was an acceptable transfer.

But Alfahim, who had just joined Manchester City at the time, was on a buying spree. There is news in the media that the Middle East oil tycoon wants to bring in Kaka, the best player in world football, for 120 million euros. At the time, Platini strongly condemned City's money offensive. They are the ones who blame the chaos in European football.

Nothing before. But now Platini must adopt the Fiscal Fairness Policy. The English media did not do it. The Premier League has poor youth training, and it is not at the same level as other European leagues. The Premier League has been able to get to where it is now, and it does not rely on the youth training of Premier League clubs. It depends on the fact that the Premier League clubs have money. Not the average rich. If there are restrictions in this regard, it is impossible for the Premier League to maintain its current strength.

So the "Daily Mirror" seized Platini's two attitudes and asked him why it was acceptable for Real Madrid to spend a lot of money to buy people and replace Manchester City in the Premier League should be condemned by him? This embarrassed Platini, who had said so many things that the inconsistencies would certainly be found if you looked closely. Don't say it's Platini, if anyone sorts out what he has said all his life, it is estimated that there are definitely not one or two, but dozens or hundreds.

So Platini said, "You're embarrassing me!" Is there any difference? I can understand what people in England are upset about, but that's not my intention, my intention is to rationalize things. ”

"I don't know if Real Madrid will buy players with loans this summer, so we will re-evaluate and we will. The truth is, what can we do to protect football? I don't think it's a good thing if a player can sell 120 million pounds, and in an economic crisis, it's not good for football to spend 120 million pounds on a player. We are against any reinforcements that exceed our own financial strength, because it is not only a danger to ourselves, but also to the development of European football. ”

This blow down Platini was disgraced. Real Madrid, Manchester United, Inter Milan and other giants completely scoff at Platini, and don't care that he is the president of UEFA. And those nouveau riche don't have a good face for him.

After all, according to Platini's "fiscal fairness policy", the order of European football is basically fixed. It's like a club like Manchester City, with their meagre income, there is no chance of development at all. Now the people who can make money are all wealthy clubs, and the income of ordinary clubs is pitiful. How to compete with these giants. Therefore, the nouveau riche completely ignored Platini and spent it however he wanted.

"Actually, if I were Florentino, I would support Platini. The Financial Fair Play Policy is good for Real Madrid. ”

Real Madrid are eligible to support Platini. In La Liga, Real Madrid is the most profitable. Compared with Real Madrid, La Liga clubs, including Barcelona, will not be Real Madrid's opponent in terms of financial resources. Once there are restrictions on recruitment, Real Madrid will still be the most expensive in La Liga. No other club can compare to Real Madrid. Real Madrid have been able to maintain their position thanks to their strong commercial income. And to please Platini, maybe the so-called "godfather" is Real Madrid's.

"Although I don't have much contact with Florentino, I also know that he is not the one who can bow his head."

Reesette nodded. What kind of character is Florentino, a real predator in European football. Compared to Florentino, Platini is not qualified enough to dictate him.

"That's right, Barwell. You give me a thorough understanding of when the "Fiscal Fairness Policy" will be implemented and what the specific content is. ”

As for the Fiscal Fair Play Policy, Rist only understands a little. And it seems to be the policy that was passed in the summer of 2009 in Lister's memory. And there are several years of buffer and so-called observation periods. It wasn't until around 2014 that it began to be implemented. fined Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain 50 million euros.

But it's completely different from what I remember. First of all, Platini's strength in UEFA is different. Historically, although Platini was elected president of UEFA, he did not have an advantage within UEFA. There are still many die-hard supporters of Johansson, all of whom are conservatives and oppose Platini's reforms. As a result, Platini has not been able to take full control of UEFA for two years after becoming UEFA president. Many of his policies simply don't work.

It's been two years, and Platini is really in control of UEFA, and there is one person who has contributed the most. That is the Spanish presidency. It was also the defection of Villar, the chairman of the UEFA referee committee. This man turned out to be in Johansson's camp. Later, he defected to Platini. Let the strength of Johnsson's camp be greatly reduced. And Villar is very strong, he was a member of FIFA's referee committee before becoming chairman of the UEFA referee committee. He is a strong figure in the current UEFA. Therefore, Platini and Villar are similar to an alliance, which stabilized the situation at UEFA at once. It was only then that Platini was introduced to various reform measures.

But it's different at the moment. The current Platini took control of the UEFA Executive Committee not long after becoming UEFA president. Because the executive committee members from Eastern Europe, Central Europe, and Northern Europe all support Platini, although it is not absolutely strong, Platini's position is also very solid. Villar is a wallhead, and of course a wallhead of the powerful faction. Seeing that Platini had the momentum, he immediately cooperated with Platini and helped Platini control UEFA.

"It's going to be soon, I shouldn't be able to pass it this year."

This is not a big secret, and the relationship between Rist and Merkley is also an alternative alliance. So Merkley did not hide from Riester.

"It is estimated that the club will be given a buffer period of about two or three years, and then there will be an observation period of about two years. It should be 12 or 13 years, not more than 14 years at the latest. ”

Merkley also leaked the contents to Lister. Merkley's position as UEFA chief executive is pivotal. What he revealed was basically a proposal from UEFA that was about to take shape.

"Yes."

Reesette nodded. Speaking of which, Rist is not going to like the Financial Fair Play Policy, because only agents like Rist can make more money if the transfer market keeps expanding.

But if you don't like it, if you intellectually say that Platini's "Financial Fair Play Policy" is beneficial to the long-term development of European football. Looking at German football around the 21st century, although the Bundesliga spent money at that time, although it could not be said that it was very expensive, their clubs spent money well. Unfortunately, with the bankruptcy of the Kirsch Group, the entire Bundesliga has fallen into a trough. Many of the Bundesliga's stalwarts were almost wiped out in that one. Including Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04, they are close to going bankrupt.

Like the current Premier League, it relies on the fanatical fans of England and the high broadcast fees. But as the economic crisis intensifies, so does the spending power of fans. What's more, if there is any problem with the now increasingly ballooning broadcast fees, the clubs in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League will also be hit by a huge blow. The bigger the bubble now, the bigger the blow will be when the time comes.

But this policy also has its bad side. The Boseman Act has made it clear whether European football is strong or weak, and if it weren't for the sudden rise of an upstart like Chelsea, the order in European football might have stabilized long ago. Now there is a financial fairness policy, and if this policy can really be implemented strictly, in fact, it has basically put an end to the existence of Chelsea and Manchester City that disrupt the old order of European football.

At that time, the giants will still be the giants, and it is basically impossible for the middle and lower teams to wrestle with these giants. The strength is not as good as the giants, the income is not as good as the giants, and the restrictions on spending money are not as good as the giants, so there will never be nouveau riche like Chelsea and Manchester City in this situation.

"You care so much about this policy?"

"Of course. I'm going to let the transfer market go crazy before this policy comes out. ”

Speaking of this policy, the wealthy are not afraid, but the most feared are the nouveau riche who come from behind. They will definitely do everything before the implementation of this policy, that is, during the buffer period.

"If Michelle knew that you had such thoughts, she would probably slap the table again."

"Huh. He is his UEFA president and I am my agent. (To be continued......)
