Chapter 42 The Bosman Act

A hat-trick by Ringer directly accelerated the salary increase negotiations between Tokyo FC and Krot.

On April 25, four days after Ringer's hat-trick, Tokyo FC gathered the media for a signing ceremony for Ringer's contract extension.

The contract standard is as Krot said before, the contract is renewed until 2017, which is the proper meaning, the young players are renewing their contracts for a long time, the annual salary has increased to 10 million yen, and the liquidated damages are 500 million yen, and Krott also won a signing fee of 10 million yen for Ringer, which is equivalent to a renewal reward.

Krot also found a commercial endorsement for Ringer, Calpis, a yogurt drink. Calpis will use Ringer's photo for promotional purposes, and he will also appear on the outer packaging of the bottle, which is limited to Japan.

In fact, the favorite drink of the Japanese is tea, green tea, black tea, milk tea, oolong tea, diet tea, roasted tea (the traditional tea of the Bai people in Dali, which has declined in China, is thriving in Japan), and various tea drinks are emerging in an endless stream. However, Calpis is a traditional Japanese drink that has been around for more than 100 years, and although it is not as popular as tea, it still has a loyal group of fans.

Calpis's main purpose for Ringer is still for the Tokyo market, the current Tokyo FC results are getting better and better, Ringer's fame in the Tokyo area is increasing day by day, his face is getting more and more recognizable, and the endorsement fee is not too high, after all, he is a sports star and has only played well for two months. Ringer's endorsement fee of 8 million yen per year is indeed very low, but Krott added a clause to the contract that once Ringer moves to Europe, the next endorsement fee will need to be renegotiated.

The day after the renewal was signed, Ringer's apartment had an unexpected visitor.

"Hello, Ringer, I am Wang Moumou of the Chinese Football Association~~~"

Ringer was surprised, he knew that as his performance got better and better, he would definitely have to deal with the Chinese Football Association, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

In fact, Ringer has just attracted the attention of the other party as soon as he has a performance in the AFC Champions League, but at present, the black storm in Chinese football continues, and the Football Association can be said to be in chaos, which is also an important reason why the Chinese team cannot score in the top 20 of the World Cup Asian Qualifiers. And Ringer's recent consistent performances in the AFC Champions League and J-League, combined with that report in the Football Newspaper, contributed to the FA sending someone over this time.

The surnamed Wang said a lot, and Ling Ge understood that the other party was here to take him in, and even brought various contracts.

Incorporated? Into the system?

It is impossible to enter the system, and it is impossible in this life. Although there are some benefits to entering it, there are also various restrictions, if you want to transfer, if you want to receive endorsements, you have to have the final say, and the income has to be taken a cut, Ringer doesn't want to be angry, after all, he doesn't have the ambition of Da Yao, and he wants to be a chairman after retiring, he just wants to play well.

However, Ringer can't directly turn his face with the other party, after all, he is still Chinese, and there must be a lot of inconvenience after he really turns his face, and Ringer also knows that the new generation of leaders who are about to take office is quite concerned about Chinese football, and the Chinese Super League Jinyuan football that will be in full swing in the next few years has not tasted the meaning of throwing it to his liking, if it really falls out, Ringer will definitely be unhappy in the future.

Ringer and the other party made a false promise, and then politely sent the other party away, without promising anything, but vaguely showing some interest in entering the system.

Well, it's all a routine.

Regarding the co-optation, there are definitely people who are more anxious than Ringer. Soon, Ringer made a phone call, and in less than five minutes, the Germans were furious.

"Lin, what about that damn guy? You promised them? What the hell! Krot has every reason to be angry, if Ringer is really co-opted, his agent will be completely hollowed out, and in the future, Ringer's football affairs will be all decided by the Football Association, and he will also be a fart agent, which is equivalent to the genius he worked hard to dig out was robbed of someone, and judging from Ringer's current performance, it is likely that what was robbed is a gold mine.

"Okay, Thomas, I'm not stupid, how can I agree." Ringer's words comforted Krott slightly.

"Yes, you're right, only a fool would agree to those slave terms, which are simply the slave terms of the last century." Crott was still a little indignant, but what he said was true.

Since 1995, it has been less than twenty years, but it is indeed the last century. In 1995, it was an important turning point in world football, when a Belgian named Bosman sued UEFA for the illegality of the UEFA transfer regulations, and finally succeeded, and the European Supreme Court ruled that the current transfer regulations were illegal at that time, and footballers had the right to transfer freely.

Before 95 years, footballers were the property of clubs or associations, and players belonged to the people who raised them. The club has cultivated you, you are the club's private property, the Football Association has cultivated you, you only belong to the Football Association, and the transfer and commercial endorsement are all decided by the club or the Football Association. Some national athletes are mainly trained by clubs, and some countries are mainly trained by football associations, and their ownership rights are different.

So before 1995, small clubs in Europe could suddenly rise, they only needed to be lucky to produce a few good players, no club agreed to transfer, these players could only play for the club that cultivated him for the rest of their lives, so there were Benfica, Ajax, Nottingham Forest and other small teams to dominate Europe, because as long as they are not willing to sell people, no one can poach their core players.

When Liverpool decorated coach Bill Shankly was in charge, he wanted Tommy Smith to play with an injury in a game, and Smith said it would ruin his knee, but Shankly said: "What is your knee? This is Liverpool's knee. ”

This was considered normal at the time, and the players were entirely private property of the club.

Portugal's greatest player before Ronaldo, Black Panther Eusebio, has only played for Benfica all his life, and Pele has only played in the Brazilian league for most of his career, which is caused by the transfer environment at the time. Boseman was on the bench for a long time at the club, and wanted to transfer and leave but was not allowed, so he took the club and UEFA to court in a fit of rage.

This situation was deeply ingrained at the time, and even most fans generally believed that this transfer system was very reasonable, and whoever cultivated you, you could only belong to him for the rest of your life.

José Altafini, Brazilian striker and AC Milan legend, led AC Milan to the first Champions League title in the club's history, and his 14 goals in a single season are the record for goals in a single season in the Champions League, which was just equaled by Messi a few days ago. Of course, this record will be broken by Ronaldo one after another in the future.

Such a top striker, but at the beginning he was considered a traitor, and he became infamous in Brazil, because he used all his means to transfer out of Brazil, went to Italy to play, and left the club that cultivated himself, Brazilians think he is a traitor, and even say that he is a traitor, Brazilians do not play in Brazil, but they are bent on going to Italy, this is treason.

Altafini's move has affected not only his reputation, but also his place with the national team. A striker who is well-known in Europe, but in the national team, he can only play for people, and if he performs a little badly, he will be substituted and will be criticized a lot.

In the 1958 World Cup, Altafini scored twice as a starting striker in the first game of the Brazilian team, helping Brazil beat Austria 3-0, but in the second game against England, Altafini performed mediocre and kicked a one-on-one goal, so Brazil and England drew 0:0, so in the third game, Altafini lost his starting place and was replaced by a 17-year-old young player who had just returned from injury.

It was unreasonable at the time, with a striker of European renown losing the trust of the manager at the slightest negligence, losing his starting position and being replaced by an unknown 17-year-old who had just recovered from injury.

It was actually more due to his move away from Brazil, which made him discredited and distrusted. However, many years later, there was no objection to that substitution, because the 17-year-old was named Edson De Nascimento, or Pele ~~~ for short

The pre-Boseman transfer environment was like this, and it was a protracted tug-of-war for any star level player to leave.

Fortunately, after the implementation of the Boseman Act, players have the right to choose independently, and the transfer should be based on the personal will of the player, which makes the famous, powerful and rich giants more attractive to good players, and good players are involuntarily climbing towards the top of the pyramid, and good players from all over the world are gathering to Europe and gathering towards the five major leagues.

However, in many regions, players are not fully autonomous, such as Africa, parts of Asia, and even some countries in Eastern Europe have not fully implemented the Boseman Act, and player transfers are subject to interference by the Football Association. Fortunately, this kind of interference is mainly at home, and they can't interfere when they go abroad, and UEFA will turn a blind eye.
