Chapter 157: The Big Event (Part II)

European Court of Justice! The Court of Justice of the European Union in July 1995!

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) is a subsidiary body of the European Union, and its main function is to review the legality of jointly enacted acts within the EU.

This judicial institution, which has nothing to do with Zhuang Mingge, if there is anything else to do with him, is only one thing that he has been worried about for more than two years.

This matter is closely related to the fate of all European football clubs, and the prosecutor who can implicate all European clubs in this major event is just an ordinary Belgian player, his name is Jean-Marc Bosem.

From the point of view of an onlooker, Boseman initially took the case to the Belgian District Court for "violating EU law" by the standard Liège team, who refused to move to another club.

It could have ended here, but who would have thought that the Belgian Football Association and UEFA would actually jump out and pry the standard club Liège to continue the appeal......

Now the matter is very big, and the case suddenly turns from a small local case into a case that is enough to shake the law of the European Union. The judge of the Belgian district court also felt that he was holding a hot potato in his hand, and simply threw this difficult case to the European Court of Justice at the highest level on the grounds of "overstepping jurisdiction......

This is the general process of the Bosman case, but according to the development of history, in Zhuang Mingge's memory, the final judgment of the Boseman Act was pronounced in December 1995, according to the transfer period stipulated by the national football associations, and it was not until January 96 that it was really implemented.

But now, the appearance of the bill has been brought forward to July, and the "Boseman era" has come ahead of schedule! What kind of changes have taken place that will bring the Boseman era forward by more than half a year?

How so?! UEFA's legal and human rights experts are too vulnerable in front of a Belgian player.

Could it be that those English consortia are doing something behind the scenes?

Zhuang Mingge feels that his guess is quite reliable, after all, in the EU, there are only three countries with enough right to speak: Germany, France and the United Kingdom, and it is not impossible for the English to hide behind the scenes and push the judgment process of the case a little, after all, UEFA's regulations on foreign aid quotas do violate the internal laws of the EU......

After the Boseman Act appeared, the football associations of the EU member states introduced new transfer rules, among which the FA rules were the most relaxed: there were almost no restrictions on English, and the only condition for requiring a labor certificate was under English law......

The Premier League club also made full use of the effect of the Boseman Act, using the huge TV broadcast fee obtained from Sky TV to recruit all over Shijie, from the outlying foreign reinforcements of York and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the beginning, to the addition of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Stam later, and then directly poaching the core players of the other three major leagues...... This is how the English have gradually regained the vitality of their league and regained their place at the top of Europe.

Some people may say that La Liga is also good, but in fact, the strength of La Liga only relies on the performance of the two "Western Super League" teams Real Madrid and Barcelona......

"Karin, you go and inform the pilot and the airport immediately, we are going back to Italy as soon as possible." Zhuang Mingge, who had made up his mind, instructed Karin.

"Haode, Tony."

I apologized to Barty, explaining that I had to go back early because of a major incident on the club's side, although the God of War regretted that the boss could not continue to watch his game here, but after listening to Zhuang Mingge's explanation, he naturally would not have any opinions because of Zhuang Mingge's early departure.

No one knows better than him, a time-traveler, how precious the time between the passage of the Bosman Act and the time before European teams take corresponding measures!

After all, except for Fiorentina, which is under Zhuang Mingge, at his request, adjusted the time to renew players to the end of the player's contract period, most clubs in Europe still choose to renew players in July and August. Because before the Boseman Act, players could not be free to transfer to other teams even if their contracts expired, and ownership remained with the original club. Other teams that want to bring in players whose contracts have expired will also have to pay a transfer fee to the player's current club that satisfies them.

And this kind of rule has also become a good way for the player's team to reduce the player's salary in disguise: even if your contract expires, you can't go anywhere anyway, as long as we don't want to sell you and you still want to play the ball, you have to sign a new contract with us before the player is registered at the end of the new season, and the salary of this contract is often much lower than the actual value of the player......

This phenomenon is most prevalent in the Netherlands, the most open country in Europe, where many players have contracts signed for a year......

Zhuang Mingge wants to take advantage of the precious "time gap" between the implementation of the law and the player's non-renewal of the contract to dig up some resources for Fiorentina as much as possible.

While on the plane, Karin gradually realized through Zhuang Mingge's description and more grasp of this information, how significant the Bosman Act just passed by the European Court of Justice is. However, Karin, who is not a traverser, is far less urgent than Zhuang Mingge.

"Tony, I think you are in such a hurry to rush back to Europe, does it seem a little hasty, although the European Court of Justice has made a judgment on Bosman's case, but I seem to have heard you say just now that UEFA will not agree with the judgment given by the court, and there is still suspense about the implementation effect of this bill!"

Zhuang Mingge could feel that Karin was using her own way, euphemistically persuading herself not to be too anxious about this matter, and to stay as calm as possible.

Zhuang Mingge was very grateful for Karin's carefulness and thoughtfulness, but still patiently explained:

"Karin, you're right, UEFA doesn't just disagree with the bill, it may even take a strong stance that it refuses to enforce it. But what does it think it is?! In front of a small Boseman or these European clubs, maybe it is indeed a behemoth, but put it in front of the European Union, this boss, UEFA? Hehe, what is it? ”

"Tony, are you saying that the European Union will intervene in the implementation of this law?"

"Definitely!" Zhuang Mingge said with certainty, not only because this is a historical occurrence, but also because the implementation effect of this bill directly challenges the principles of EU law!

"Then there will be no suspense in this matter." Karin finally understands that things with Boseman are irreversible.

"Okay, now let's have a good rest, when we get back to Europe, it could be very busy." How could he stretch his waist, gently hugged Karin beside him, and said.
