Chapter 290: Wenger's Troubles

Zhuang Mingge was taken aback by Wenger's question, he had no idea that the seemingly law-abiding "professor" would one day have the idea of tax evasion.

To be honest, tax evasion, no, reasonable tax avoidance is a compulsory course that many rich people and enterprises are studying, after all, no one wants to see their hard-earned profits or income in a year suddenly charged by the state 50% of the high tax.

But Wenger himself shouldn't have to worry about it, right? Although the personal income tax in France is very high, Monaco, a small country attached to France, does not have the same income tax rate as France, but has always insisted on a low local tax rate.

However, after listening to Wenger's detailed explanation, Zhuang Mingge finally had a general understanding of the matter - it turned out that it was not Wenger's intention to avoid taxes, but the Monaco club.

As we all know, although the Monaco club was financed by the royal ministers of Monaco, in fact, this club with the title of "royal family" is not as rich as imagined, but can only be regarded as a poor team in terms of its economic strength.

The current Monaco team has quite a few top players, such as Zinedine Zidane and Petit in midfield, Trezeguet and Thierry Henry in attack, Argentine international Monroa and Candela in the back...... After the Bosman Act was introduced, the Monaco club gave these players a salary increase, so now the salary level of these players is not low. With the tax situation in Ligue 1, Monaco's economic strength would not have been able to support this team, but interestingly, Monaco clubs use Monaco's low local tax rate, which makes them pay less taxes than other teams in Ligue 1 when paying the same salary.

This is not much in normal times, but now with Zhuang Mingge, the golden finger of the traverser, Monaco's strength is obviously beyond the other teams in the league, and there is a faint tendency to inherit the Ligue 1 hegemony left by Marseille.

Other Ligue 1 clubs are not stupid, seeing this situation and not doing anything, they have said that Monaco's tax avoidance practice is unfair to them, and demand that Monaco clubs have to abide by the French tax rate like them.

Due to the public outrage, the French Football Association will definitely agree to the joint pressure of many French league clubs, but if the Monaco club is really asked to pay this high tax, Monaco, which has insufficient financial resources, will inevitably be forced to sell some good players to balance the club's finances. However, in this way, Monaco, whose strength has declined, may never have a chance to dominate Ligue 1 again.

"So, Arcena, you're going to ask me for help and see if there's a way to help you get through this?" Zhuang Mingge touched his smooth chin, thinking to himself that these French guys turned out to be a bunch of goods who would stab each other in the back when they saw that others were red.

Perhaps it was because of his own intervention that Monaco faced such a dilemma? If that's the case, I really should help Wenger.

What Zhuang Mingge doesn't know is that the reason why Monaco in the 03-04 season in history suddenly fell apart after the end of the season is actually because of this reason, and now it is just Zhuang Mingge's little butterfly that has advanced this process by a few years.

"Well, I'm sorry Arsène, I really don't have a reasonable way to avoid taxes here." Zhuang Mingge glanced at Wenger's disappointed face and continued, "But I have a way here that may be able to tide Monaco of the difficult time. ”

"What's the solution?" Wenger was aroused by Zhuang Mingge's words and couldn't wait to ask.

"Find a rich boss."

“…… Isn't that the same as not saying it! After listening to Zhuang Mingge's "method", Wenger finally went berserk - if this kind of big-money boss was so easy to find, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

……

On April 17th, the Fiorentina squad arrived at the Stade Louis II, where they will face perhaps the strongest Monaco team of all time!

Under Arsene Wenger's tutelage, Monaco have been at the top of their game in Ligue 1 this season, with the twin stars of David Trezeguet and Thierry Henry breaking down the door of all Ligue 1 teams this season, despite their youth.

In midfield, Monaco has the new core of the French national team, Zinedine Zidane, behind whom Petit and Arsene Wenger's hometown Dacourt is responsible for escorting him, and Robert Pire, who has transferred from Metz this season, has taken on the role of Djokaef in the French team in the Monaco team, sharing some of the opponent's defensive energy for Zidane with his attacking and playmaking talents.

At the back, Monaco is also full of good players, although Thuram transferred to Parma last summer, but Candela, Dimeco, two versatile full-backs on the wings can be called the best in Europe, the central defenders are Ismael and Leboeuf, and there are young talents like Makelele on the bench.

To be clear here, Makelele did play at right-back when he debuted, but later Jacques, who was the head coach of the French national team at the time, said "I need a midfielder, not a right-back", which made him change to a midfielder in order to enter the national team.

Only the goalkeeper position of Monaco is slightly weaker, neither the previous Barthez nor the current Roa is a goalkeeper who completely reassures his teammates, although the latter does not have the butter hand of Barthez, but his decent performance makes him a good goalkeeper at best.

However, with Monaco's current squad, it is indeed not surprising to be able to win two consecutive French championships, after all, the French league has fallen badly after the outbreak of Marseille match-fixing, not only Marseille, but also many traditional strong teams in France have seen a lot of decline, and the arrival of the Boseman shock wave last summer has further worsened the situation.

Looking at Fiorentina's starting line-up, Ranieri hid a lot of key players in the last round against Udinese, and all the players who had been holding back for a week were sent to the pitch in this game.

Goalkeeper Toldo, the back four from left to right are Lanna, Ferrara, Nesta and Zambrotta, and the midfield is a combination of Di Biagio, Davies and Effenberg.

As for the attack, Ranieri, who had tasted the sweetness of the front three in the previous games, continued to use this tactic that has worked so well in this game, with Batistuta in the middle, Djokaeff and Ronaldo on the left and right, and Roberto Baggio was forced to hang out of the game after an old injury in his left leg was detected before the start of the game.

When the players of both sides stood on both sides of the court, the referee of the game, Merck, glanced at the watch on her wrist and blew the whistle in her mouth!

The competition is officially on!
