"But, President Corleone, our French Football Federation does not have the financial resources of Fiorentina to pay the players the same level of wages as when they were at the club!" Facing Zhuang Mingge, who put on an aggressive posture, Le GraΓ«t, who knew that he was powerless to compete with the other party, had no choice but to pretend to be pitiful and squeezed out a sad expression, "You should know in your heart that once we make this hole in Makellele, then other teams will definitely start the same negotiations with us." When the time comes, our French Football Association will have to go bankrupt and go out of business. β
"Hehe, Monsieur de Le Graet, I can't help with this." Zhuang Mingge was not moved by Le Graet's words at all, and said bluntly, "In the matter of Makelele, our Florentine attitude is very clear. If you can't give us a reasonable explanation today, then we have to meet in Luxembourg (the seat of the European Court of Justice). β
"Don't! Chairman Corleone, if you have something to say, there is no need to bother the judiciary to get involved. Seeing that Zhuang Mingge took out the big stick of law, Le Graet had to give up his plan to continue to resist, and began to look for other ways to solve the problem, "It's better to go and ask Chairman Escale first, and then let's discuss it again, I don't know what Chairman Corleone thinks?" β
Regarding Le Graet's request, Zhuang Mingge immediately nodded in agreement. He also knew that although Le Graet was nominally the plenipotentiary representative of the French Football Federation in this negotiation, when the negotiations rose to the current level, there were some things that he could not easily decide, and he had to consult his immediate boss, Jean-Pierre Escale, the current president of the French Football Federation: "However, Mr. Le Graet, I would like you to pay attention to the time you have with Mr. Escale. After all, time is precious for those of us who are always on a busy day, and I don't have the patience to waste too much time on it. β
"It's nature." Hearing Zhuang Mingge's words, Le Graet hurriedly nodded yes, and then hurriedly left the conference room to discuss countermeasures with Escale.
An hour later, when the negotiations opened again, the person sitting across from Zhuang Mingge had been replaced by Le Graet and Escale - obviously, for this high-stakes negotiation, the French Football Association, which has always been arrogant, had to bow to Zhuang Mingge.
In the end, after three full days of negotiations, Zhuang Mingge and Escale finally reached an agreement on the compensation for the French national team's call-up to Makelele to participate in the tournament and formed a written agreement, which was signed by the representatives of both sides, which was a satisfactory settlement of the matter.
This agreement contains the following two aspects, one is that the French national team will give corresponding financial subsidies for the use of Makelele, the specific amount is 50% of Makelele's salary in Fiorentina; The other is that if Makelle is injured while playing for the French national team, then the salary that Makelele needs to receive during the injury will be paid in full by the French Football Federation!
However, these payments are not made directly by the French Football Federation to Makelele himself, but will be transferred to the Fiorentina club's bank account and then paid by Fiorentina to Makellele. After all, it was Fiorentina FC and not the French Football Federation that signed the contract with Makelele, so it was only natural that Fiorentina would be responsible for the payment of salaries and compensation. Zhuang Mingge didn't want to make any small omissions when the overall situation was decided, so he naturally spent a lot of effort on these details to avoid unnecessary conflicts with relevant laws and regulations.
In addition, at Escale's strong request, there is an additional clause to this agreement, that is, while the French Football Federation pays Makelele's salary, Fiorentina will not pay the extra amount if he wants to renew Makelele's contract. In other words, no matter how Fiorentina and Makelele renew their contracts, the Football Association will pay compensation according to the contract at the time of the injury, and there will be no changes due to the emergence of a new contract.
The reason why there is such an add-on clause is mainly because Escale is worried that Fiorentina will take advantage of Makelele's injury to sign a sky-high contract with the player, so as to slaughter the French Football Federation fiercely. That's why Escale specifically asked for such a clause.
And Zhuang Mingge was not ambiguous, after Escale proposed an additional clause, he also added an article to the agreement: if the French Football Federation wants to recruit a player like Makelele who has announced his retirement from the national team, it needs to discuss with the player himself and the club, and must not force the player to obey the order with the righteous reputation of "winning glory for the country" or FIFA regulations. At the same time, the playing time of such players must be strictly controlled, and they have the right to refuse to play in non-international A-level tournaments such as friendly matches and warm-up matches!
For being able to reach a consensus with the French Football Association on the issue of Makellele, Zhuang Mingge can be said to be quite satisfied. Although from the current point of view, this agreement is only aimed at Makelle alone, but in fact, Zhuang Mingge knows in his heart that as long as this first agreement can be successfully introduced, then other clubs will definitely follow suit. In this way, the issue of paid use of international players by the national team and injury compensation of players in the national team competition, which has always been concerned, will be completely solved!
Regarding this, the French Football Association is naturally clear in its heart. However, under Zhuang Mingge's aggressive offensive, the French Football Association, which is far weaker than the opponent in terms of energy and power, has no way to continue to fight. After all, as long as Fiorentina appeals to the European Court of Justice, the French Football Federation is very likely to lose the case.
In the aftermath of the Boseman affair, all football associations, including UEFA, have taken a psychological toll on the court. Because these FA officials know very well that in the football industry, there are many conventions and regulations that are untenable from a legal point of view. Therefore, when Zhuang Mingge put forward these conditions, the French Football Association, which knew that he could not resist, could only choose to agree to bargain with the other party in terms of details.
