PS1: Sunday's update is sent.,It's a little late.,I hope you don't care too much about the update time.,I promise that I won't stop talking......

PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

Some people may think that stars of the level of Vieri and Inzaghi, their annual salaries and various commercial sponsorship contracts should be a lot, and they can earn tens of millions of dollars in a year, let alone tens of millions of dollars, why are they tempted by this bonus of the All-Star Game? This is obviously unscientific!

Indeed, because of Zhuang Mingge, Fiorentina is far ahead of most clubs in terms of commercial development and star image promotion, only a few clubs such as Manchester United and Real Madrid can not fall behind in this regard, plus the players' salaries have always been among the top in Europe, so most Fiorentina players generally have much more total income than players of the same level.

That being said, let's not forget that Vieri earns all this money before taxes, and they still need to pay all the taxes to the Italian government before they can get their share.

You must know that the personal income tax rate that Serie A players need to pay is the highest among the four major European leagues, which is as high as 50% in total! That's a lot more than the Bundesliga and the Premier League, not to mention La Liga, which is under pressure from Real Madrid to enforce the Beckham Act.

In other words, for every dollar of after-tax wages paid to players by Serie A clubs, they also need to pay a dollar in taxes to the Italian government. The exorbitant tax rate has forced Serie A clubs to spend more on player wages than clubs in other leagues. Only in this way will they be able to retain those quality players and avoid being poached by teams in other leagues with high wages.

After all, in an era of growing Bosman influence, not many players want to see their salaries lower than those of their calibre because of the different tax rates. As a result, Italy's excessively high tax rates have greatly increased the financial burden on Serie A clubs.

Although Prodi has been trying to reduce the tax rate in this area under the advice and influence of Zhuang Minggo, due to the overall recession of the Italian economic environment in recent years, the majority of parliamentarians do not agree to this proposal. In their view, if this most important fiscal revenue is cut, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the government's future budget.

That's why Vieri and the others are quite impressed by this bonus - who made the government collect taxes too harshly, and the landlord's family has no surplus food!

And what makes them feel the most heartwarming is that under the strong "suggestion" of the Italian Football Association and a group of football bigwigs, the Italian government finally humbly listened to their opinions and announced that it would not levy personal income tax on the players' bonuses!

After the news broke, all the players who were about to play in the All-Star Game couldn't help but cheer. And this undoubtedly greatly stimulated their desire for victory. Because according to the rules, the winning side can get a bigger share of the prize money, so the players who were originally dissatisfied with the Christmas holiday occupation have geared up, and their attitude towards the All-Star Game has also taken a 180-degree turn.

That's why Vieri was so tempted by the prize. You know, a non-tax-payable bonus of hundreds of thousands of dollars is enough for them to have a beautiful Christmas holiday!

Fans obviously won't know about the mental activity of the players, and not so long ago, the players were unhappy that the All-Star Game took up their precious vacation time. For them, being able to see a feast of stars before Christmas is a great Christmas gift!

And so it was one o'clock in the afternoon on December 24th, the day before Christmas. The inaugural Serie A All-Star Game will take place at the Olympic Stadium in Rome in an hour's time!

I have to say that the Italian Football Federation is still a bit conscientious, and it did not schedule the game on Christmas Day like the NBA, nor did it take it on Christmas Eve, which is most important to Westerners. Although they have begun to pay attention to the image and commercial promotion of the league, they are still very disciplined, at least not completely out of the eyes of money.

With a full hour to go, the 80,000-capacity Stadio Olimpico in Rome was packed, and fans couldn't wait to see the all-star show.

Seeing the fans waving all kinds of flags and slogans in the stands so enthusiastically, and the cheers in their ears, the players couldn't help but be infected by this atmosphere, and before the referee could say anything, they ran out of the players' tunnel and waved to the fans in the stands. This, in turn, sparked even louder cheers in the stands.

Looking at these unruly players, Collina, who was the referee of the game, couldn't help but smile and didn't run out to ruin the atmosphere because of this little thing. Because he knew that this game was different from the official competitions he had previously enforced, and there was no need to strictly follow many rules.

Creating a festival that belongs to all Serie A fans, and at the same time promoting the name of Serie A to the world, so that more people know and like Serie A, is the meaning of the Serie A All-Star Game.

Now let's talk about the starting lineups of both teams, starting with the Italian all-star side. The goalkeeper position naturally belongs to Buffon, who is known as the world's first door god, as for Toldo; At the back, Maldini and Zambrotta played as left and right wing-backs respectively, with Nesta and Cannavaro in central defence; In midfield, Ambrosini and Tomasi were responsible for providing defensive rigidity and sweeping in front of the penalty area, while Andrea Pirlo took on the task of controlling the tempo of the game and organizing the team, handing over the most eye-catching task of tandem playmaking and attacking to Roberto Baggio. Obviously, Pirlo is paying his respects to this senior in this way.

Needless to say, Vieri and Inzaghi locked in the two spots early, and the slightly less popular Totti could only sit on the bench with his two teammates, Toni and Cassano.

In fact, Totti is also unlucky, if it weren't for the popular superstar Robert Baggio in the midfield position, and the top and handsome partners of Vieri and Inzaghi on the front line, he would definitely be able to qualify for an All-Star starter. Like now, he can only wait for the three people in the front court to be physically exhausted, and at the same time, he has to pass Capello to wait for the opportunity to play.

"Next year, next year I'm going to be a starter in the All-Star Game." Looking at Baggio and them with envy, Totti secretly made up his mind and thought so.

Fortunately, Baggio is retiring after this season and will never have the opportunity to play in the All-Star Game again. Otherwise, Totti wouldn't have to wait for this All-Star starter......
