PS: Thank you here for the reward of "I am the wilderness", and I will continue to work hard in the next ~

"Okay, okay, Simeone's problem, please wait until this meeting is over, and solve it yourself." At this time, Gianni Agnelli spoke, although he had given up the position of Juventus president to his younger brother Umberto Agnelli, but this time since the old man wanted to come to the meeting in person, no one in Juventus and the Agnelli family dared to go against his opinion, "Now let's go back to the topic, I'm already a 75-year-old man, and my body will not be able to stand it if you continue to quarrel like this." ”

The Agnelli family is known as the uncrowned king of Italy, and the words of Giani Agnelli, as the head of the family, naturally carry enough weight. As soon as the old man spoke, Moratti and Cragnoti immediately became honest, although they were very unkind to Juventus, but they did not dare to make a mistake in front of this respected old man.

"Well, it's finally quiet now." Gianni Agnelli patted his seat with satisfaction, turned his head to Zhuang Mingge and said, "Boy Antonio, now that you have seen the shortcomings of this recruitment restriction, you must already have a plan to deal with it, right?" ”

"Yes, Grandpa Jani." In front of this old man who "sneezed, the whole of Italy will tremble", Zhuang Mingge naturally immediately replied respectfully, "I think that the current limit on the introduction of foreign aid in Serie A should be abolished, otherwise, there will be no way to talk about it." ”

"Oh? Naturally, after what you just said, I don't think anyone in this room will agree with the Football Association to continue to retain such a recruitment policy. Hearing Zhuang Mingge say this, Jani Agnelli was not surprised, after all, the other party had already listed all the disadvantages of this set of measures just now, so naturally there was no need to continue to keep it, "So, or the sentence just now, what way do you plan to replace the current recruitment system?" ”

"In this regard, I think we should learn from the Spanish Football Federation and the German Football Federation." Zhuang Mingge, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately replied, "The football associations of these two countries have made a mandatory requirement for each team to participate in the top league that season, stipulating that the number of non-European players in the first team of each team shall not exceed five, and the extra non-European foreign players are not eligible to participate in the league games of that season." ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Although Gianni Agnelli is old, he is not confused, as the saying goes, people are old and ghosts, and the elder Agnelli only had a slight turn of his mind and thought of the advantages of this policy, "Leave a place for non-European players for each team, so that each club has enough space to adjust the squad and decide whether they will stay or leave according to the table of each foreign player and the actual situation of the team." In addition, the departing players can also make room for newcomers, so the team does not have to worry about being forced to narrow the range of options due to policy restrictions after selling a foreign player, so that they cannot find a suitable replacement, or increase unnecessary expenses in vain. ”

"Grandpa Jani, you're right." Zhuang Mingge complimented the other party twice, and then said, "Take my Fiorentina as an example, let's say that this winter we searched for players all over the world in order to strengthen the bench depth of the forward line, and finally decided to bring in Argentine center Julio Cruz, who played for River Plate at the time, but because we brought in Redondo, who is also a non-European from Real Madrid last summer, the deal was almost stranded." If it weren't for Redondo's application for Spanish citizenship, I'm afraid we would have lost this good substitute striker by now. ”

When Zhuang Mingge said these words, except for a few people such as Moratti and Agnelli Sr., the other participants all muttered to themselves in their hearts: Your kid's luck is too good, even if you have discovered Vieri and Da Inzaghi before, how can you find a suitable player for Fiorentina half the world?

Hawkers, let's not mention these people who are jealous of Zhuang Mingge's luck, and the topic returns to the discussion of Serie A policies.

"So how do we effectively protect our homegrown talent and get them to the top flight?" Gianni Agnelli narrowed his eyes, making it impossible to see what he was thinking at this time, "Even if you just said that each team cannot have more than five non-EU players at most, the existence of the Bosman Act still makes it impossible for us to prevent high-level players from other countries in the EU from playing in Serie A and impacting the living space of Italian players." ”

"I also have a corresponding countermeasure in this regard." Speaking of this, Zhuang Mingge secretly said sorry to the German Football Association in his heart, in order to solve the lack of fresh blood in German football three years later, I first borrowed it, "My opinion is that each team should set aside a certain number of first-team places for local players and the club's own youth players." I think there should be no less than six homegrown players in the first team and no less than three Academy players in the first team this season. ”

Without waiting for everyone present to put forward their opinions, Zhuang Mingge continued to speak:

"Here, I'm going to define what I'm talking about as homegrown players and academy players. Local players, I believe everyone understands it very well, are players whose nationality is Italian. Of course, I would like to add in passing that players with multiple nationalities who choose to play international matches for a national team other than Italy will not be counted in the quota for homegrown players; As long as a player has played for the same club for more than three years before the age of 21, regardless of his nationality or not, he can be considered an academy player of that club. ”

"The reason why I want to define it this way is because everyone knows very well that if they don't do this, I'm afraid that some teams will not be able to make enough academy players to enter the first team for some reason; Moreover, it will also allow everyone to have a wider range of options when it comes to developing young players, without being tied down to the small Apennine Peninsula. ”

"Well, Antonio, your idea is new." After listening to Zhuang Mingge's statement, old Agnelli nodded and said, "I think this plan is very good, what do you think?" ”

Gianni Agnelli, the most powerful man in Italy, has spoken up in agreement, what else can say? had no choice but to nod and agree to Zhuang Mingge's reform plan.

However, in order to ensure the stability of the Serie A during the reform period, the elder Agnelli still made certain changes to Zhuang Mingge's plan: this season, that is, in the 1997-98 season, each Serie A team must have more than six local players and at least two academy players in the first team, and each subsequent season must add one place for each of these two until the goal of no less than eight local players and no less than four academy players is achieved.
