During the seven-hour long-distance flight, in addition to seizing the time to reverse the jet lag, Zhuang Mingge once again went through the "Bosman Act" in his mind during this time when it was more like doing nothing.

The Boseman Act consists of the following two main articles:

First, natural human rights - after the expiration of the contract with the original club, the player's status will become a free agent, and all personal rights will belong to the player himself;

Second, free labor rights - on the basis of natural human rights, players have the right to transfer freely at the end of their contract, and do not need to pay any transfer fees for this.

In the previous telephone exchange with Antonioni, Zhuang Mingge confirmed the contents of the Boseman Act, which was born half a year ahead of schedule, and the above contents have not changed much due to the "advance" of the bill.

Although Zhuang Mingge was also caught off guard by this "big event" that came ahead of schedule, unlike those who were completely unprepared for this big event in football, Zhuang Mingge, who was a traverser, had an incomparable advantage over others, that is, his vision.

Knowing the development trend of football in later generations, he looks at the depth of this major event beyond the reach of others.

What impact will the emergence of the Bosman Act have on Europe and even Shijie football? When the division of football under the old system appeared in chaos under the impact of Bosman, Zhuang Mingge had begun to rethink this question that he had thought about countless times in his mind.

Now, this question can be divided into two aspects, one is the inherent development from Zhuang Mingge's memory, and the other is the unexpected variables brought about by the early appearance of the bill.

The impact on the memory level should not change too much, for the entire football world, especially the transfer market, the emergence of the bill will make the entire market unprecedentedly prosperous. Under the new rules, there will be more competition between teams for a player of their choice.

For leagues and clubs, the gap between the top leagues will become more and more obvious, and the gap between the rich and the poor between clubs will be further widened. The club has been reckless in bringing in EU players and putting their precious foreign quotas to good use. As a result, many giants have become "international columns", and the "Galaxy Fleet", which was impossible to do before, will also appear in international football in the near future. And as soon as the only obstacle that had prevented clubs from bringing in players was removed, Europe immediately plunged into an era of madness!

Player transfer fee records have been broken since the Boseman Act was introduced, because the wealthy clubs can make the most of their financial resources to poach the players they want from other leagues, while the smaller clubs that can't resist can only make up for their losses by getting as much transfer fees as possible from the deal.

Before Boseman, the transfer fee record in Shijie football was 17.5 million US dollars set by Lentini in 92, and after the Boseman Act, the transfer fee record in international football was broken almost every year, and in the craziest summer of 2000, the transfer fee record was actually broken twice in just one summer!

For players, the emergence of the Boseman Act will dramatically change their status as a "commodity" in the past, and their wages will rise to unprecedented heights in the future. Before the Bosman Act, Ian Rush, the top scorer in the English league, earned just £5,000 a week; And now in order to retain the core players of the team, the club has to increase the salary of the players, and the case of players using transfers to threaten the club with a salary increase has become more and more common in Europe, and in the era of Zhuang Mingge's crossing, there are no less than ten people with a weekly salary of 200,000......

Zuihou is the agent and the agency, and they will also be the new masters under the new rules, calling for the wind and rain in the football world, such as Mendes and Raiola.

The sudden "Bosman shock wave", if there were only the consequences in these memories, then there would be no need for Zhuang Mingge to run back to Europe in a hurry.

On the one hand, Boseman was suing his "old club" Standard Liège only in the hope that the court would rule that the current "paid transfer system" was illegal (i.e., a free transfer with zero value after the contract expired), probably as he himself later said in an interview: "I have no idea what impact this decision will have on European football!" ”

After things get bigger. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has made further rulings, not least the fatal clause "abolishing the quota for foreign aid within the EU", which is entirely an add-on of Bosman's appeal.

According to Zhuang Mingge's original idea, even if this fatal clause is introduced, its deterrent effect will not affect European football for a while. Because according to the development in memory, under the stubborn resistance of UEFA, the Boseman Act really came into effect, and it was postponed until the winter transfer period of 96; And the first player to get a free transfer through the Boseman Act will not be until the 95-96 season is completely over......

In fact, Zhuang Mingge also knows that most of the impact of the Bosman shock wave has a lag, which is okay, but there is only one most direct impact that is difficult to avoid - that is, when the new law takes effect, the sudden and strong impact on the transfer market.

In memory, because of force majeure reasons such as UEFA's stubborn resistance and the postponement of the opening time of the transfer market, some people have a certain psychological preparation in this regard.

Zhuang Mingge also put such psychological expectations for next year, but such a beautiful idea was completely shattered by the European Court of Justice - since the European Court of Justice made a final judgment in July of 95 instead of December in memory, then, how long can UEFA, which seems to have a tough attitude, resist stubbornly in this situation?

……

"Giancarlo (Antonioni), how's it going?" As soon as he got off the plane, Zhuang Mingge rushed directly back to the headquarters in Florence and found Antonioni, who was on official business.

If UEFA withstands, then Fiorentina can stand still; If not, then you can take some measures in advance......

"UEFA responded publicly today, and they also brought FIFA to a press conference in Bern, Switzerland, saying that they would firmly resist the decision of the European Court of Justice." Antonioni replied, "But in my opinion, UEFA is afraid that it will not last long, after all, its status as a civil society organization cannot resist the official laws of the European Union." ”

"Hehe, as I thought, let's see how long UEFA can last." Zhuang Mingge said with a smile, "When UEFA announces its surrender, it will be a great opportunity for us to act in Fiorentina!" ”

On July 14, Baron Camille van Mayette, the EU's Commissioner for Competition and Strategy, reiterated on behalf of the EU: "Football is an economic activity that should be governed by the internal market regulations of the European Union, and only compliance with the relevant EU regulations can be regarded as a legitimate economic activity." ”

He also issued an ultimatum to UEFA, which was trying to resist to the end, demanding that "UEFA and its member states must accept all the judgments and rulings of the European Court of Justice in the Boseman case within one week".

Under pressure from both the European Union and the European Court of Justice, UEFA finally renounced its resistance a week later, on July 21, and accepted all the provisions of the Boseman Act.

"For Florence, this is the most haode era." Sitting on the plane to the Netherlands, Zhuang Mingge said to Karin.
