PS: This is today's first update, 96000 recommended plus more at night after work, I hope you will support a lot, thank you~

Mantovani's words were provocative, but he was right, and if the number of first-team players was really capped at 20, I am afraid that the top seven teams in the league last season would not have to think about this season's European results, because their main fighting power has been exhausted in the league.

It is with this in mind that the elder Pozzo's Tiyì has been strongly opposed by the owners and managers of these teams, and even the manager of AC Milan, who has no European assignments this season, has joined the crowd of opponents - because he knows that it is only a matter of time before AC Milan, one of the top three in the north, returns to European competition, and helping these people at this time is tantamount to helping himself.

As a result, Pozzo's proposal was rightfully rejected and discussions resumed......

After more than two hours, the door to the conference room slowly opened, and the owners and managers of the Serie A teams left the room with tired faces, but their faces were more or less satisfied.

"Grandpa Jani, thank you for your help." After the meeting, Zhuang Mingge thanked old Agnelli in the empty conference room, "If you didn't come out in person this time, the reform plan I proposed this time might not be fully accepted by everyone." ”

"Haha, boy Antonio, what are you talking about!" Hearing Zhuang Mingge's thanks, old Agnelli laughed and said, "I didn't come here to help you, if the plan you put forward at this meeting is of no value at all, I will definitely dismantle you, old man." ”

After a long discussion at the just-concluded professional league meeting, the 18 clubs participating in Serie A this season finally reached an agreement on the issue of league reform, and at the same time decided that at the Football Association meeting four days later, the eight teams eligible to participate in the meeting will formally submit the draft reform to the Italian Football Federation, asking the other party to carry out a complete reform of the Serie A according to the plan.

The content of the draft can be summarized in the following six points:

1. Starting from this summer, the existing non-European foreign aid introduction system in Serie A will be abolished, and the number of non-European players in each Serie A team will not exceed five.

2. Starting from this season, the first team of each Serie A club must have more than the required number of local players and academy players, and this lower limit will increase year by year until the target of eight local players and four academy players is reached. Teams that do not comply with the regulations will be forced to reduce the ceiling of non-European foreign players, and one place will be deducted for each person missing.

3. It is stipulated that the upper limit of the number of first team members of each Serie A club shall not exceed 25, and each team must report to the Football Association the 25-man squad for this season before the start of the Serie A league, and the players not on the list will not be eligible to participate in the new season of Serie A, and the offender will be punished with penalty points.

Fourth, starting from next season, each Serie A club must have a youth academy that meets the standards, and the construction of youth training facilities must be standardized: each Serie A youth team must have three professional training venues, three youth coaches, and the basic configuration of goalkeeper coaches, team doctors and medical rooms must be readily available. Any club that does not comply with these regulations will be disqualified from Serie A.

5. Starting from next season, the professional league will make a new standard for stadiums, and all the home stadiums of Serie A teams must meet the requirements of this standard, such as whether the turf, geothermal and drainage systems are complete, whether the stadium stands are in place with security measures, etc. Moreover, this standard will be raised over time, and teams that do not meet the rules will be disqualified from Serie A.

Incidentally, in order to ensure the benefit of the promoted polo teams, these teams will not be immediately required to meet this standard, but will be given a year to prepare and make it mandatory in the second season after their promotion.

6. Starting from this season, the distribution of prize money in Serie A will be adjusted to all teams participating in European competitions this season. If some of these teams are to be eliminated from European competition prematurely in order to retain their strength in the league and compete for a better place in the league, they will be deprived of their Serie A bonuses and a portion of their TV broadcast fees will be deducted as penalties for next season.

The reason why such an article was added was mainly because Zhuang Mingge suddenly remembered that in the previous life, many Serie A teams deliberately went out early in the European competition in order to ensure their ranking in the league, retaining the strength of the team to strive for a good ranking in the league, and then next season it will be such a vicious circle.

Whenever Udinese qualifies for next season's Champions League, the first thing Pozzo Sr. has to do is not to find a way to bring in strong reinforcements to strengthen the team, so that the team can go further in the Champions Cup, but to sell the best players in the team all over the world in exchange for financial gains, the most typical example is the sale of Jankulovski and David Pizarro in 2005, and the sale of Chilean winger Sanchez at a high price in the summer of 2011.

And as a result of this, Udinese's table in the Champions Cup, which has made a lot of money from the sale of players, is a complete cup.

As for the UEFA Cup, which does not have much prize money and attention, Udinese's table is even more unbearable, often deliberately leaving the league early in the group stage, and then concentrating on attacking the league.

Historically, Serie A has been overtaken by the Bundesliga, which is behind it, and these Serie A teams, led by Udinese, have made an indelible contribution in this process.

It is precisely because of their pit teammates that the European points of Serie A are decreasing, and they are finally surpassed by the Bundesliga, which focuses on forming groups to brush points in the UEFA Cup.

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation from happening again and leave a threat to these teams that do not give people peace of mind, Zhuang Mingge spent a lot of effort to persuade others to add such a clause to the reform plan.

As for how to judge whether these teams are deliberately retaining their strength...... This issue is discussed by all delegates at the Pro League meeting after the end of the season, and the results of the discussion will determine the final benefits of these teams.

Of course, if someone is so brain-dead that they send a full bench + bench lineup to play in a European competition and are eliminated miserably, they should be able to see it personally, right?

In addition, the leaders of the Serie A clubs have reached another consensus, that is, the youth training of Italian football cannot be promoted by the Serie A teams alone, and the Italian Football Federation, as the manager of Italian football affairs, should also take corresponding responsibility.

What does it mean to be responsible? Of course, the Italian Football Federation is required to invest a lot of financial, human and material resources in the youth training construction of domestic football every year......

How can the cunning team leaders let these officials of the Football Association sit back and enjoy their success?
