Chapter 740: Does Florentino want to engage in the "European Super League" again?

Mourinho submitted his resignation?!

This news quickly became a hot topic of discussion in major sports media.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure, the Reds have changed several coaches, but there has been little improvement.

Jose Mourinho arrived at Old Trafford with huge expectations and the Portuguese did not disappoint United fans, winning three titles in his second year in charge.

Although the gold content of these championships cannot be compared with the Premier League and the Champions League, at least they have won the championship.

Manchester United fans seem to see hope for a resurgence of Manchester United, but since the start of the season, the Reds have been riddled with negative press and results that have not satisfied fans and clubs.

At that time, the British media began to count down Mourinho's departure from Manchester United.

The huge input is disproportionate to the meager output, and the investors are certainly not satisfied.

Therefore, some media believe that when Mourinho had a conflict with the player, the club did not stand on Mourinho's side.

Speaking to a Portuguese media outlet, Mourinho admitted to submitting his resignation to United's hierarchy: "After much consideration, I think I should leave Manchester United now.

Thank you to the United fans for their support, I've had a great season here, but the results are terrible at the moment and I owe it to me as manager to take that responsibility!

I hope Manchester United will get better and better in the future! ”

After the report came out, it was almost certain that Mourinho was leaving Manchester United.

Soon after, Manchester United officially announced that they had indeed received Mourinho's resignation, and after the club's discussion and communication with Mourinho, they had accepted Mourinho's resignation!

Regarding Mourinho's successor, Manchester United announced that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will replace him and lead the team until the end of the season!

In an instant, the news exploded in the European media, and Mourinho's departure from Manchester United quickly occupied the front pages of major sports media!

Li Chuanqi was not particularly surprised by this news, and he did not think that this matter had much to do with him.

He even thinks that Mourinho has the idea of diverting the attention of the media by submitting his resignation at this time.

Jose Mourinho's departure from Manchester United is a matter of time, and with Manchester derbies being defeated, there is no better time for him to leave.

If he continues to stay at Manchester United, he will be the target of attacks from the media and fans.

Where can a proud man like him stand this?

The Manchester City players breathed a sigh of relief that the brawl between the two teams in the players' tunnel was not reported by the media, which shows that this matter has been turned into a small incident with the efforts of all parties.

They put their focus back on training and competing.

As time went on, the news of Jose Mourinho's departure from Manchester United faded out of the media, while another piece of news caught the attention of the media and fans.

According to Torino Sport, Real Madrid president Florentino recently came to Turin to meet with Juventus president Agnelli.

There are two transfers that have caught the world's attention this summer, one is Li Chuanqi leaving Atletico Madrid for Manchester City, and the other is Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Real Madrid for Juventus.

Florentino meets Agnelli, does it have anything to do with Ronaldo?

This inevitably attracted the attention of some media and fans, does Real Madrid want Ronaldo to go back?

"Marca" immediately refuted the rumors: "Mr. Florentino's trip to Turin has nothing to do with Cristiano, he has other more important things!" He will be visiting many European giants in the near future! ”

What does that mean?

Marca is the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, their news should be reliable, Florentino is going to visit a lot of European giants?!

Is something big going to happen in European football?

It is said that Florentino's whereabouts were spotted in Milan that night.

The next day, the French media reported Florentino's visit to Paris Saint-Germain!

Immediately after that, the British media reported that Florentino visited Manchester! Travel to Liverpool that night.

Florentino is coming to London!

What was Florentino's intention in visiting the European giants?

Some fans speculated that it had something to do with the fact that "Torino Sports Newspaper" had previously asked European giants to join forces to ban Li Chuanqi?

But if so, why didn't Torino Sport make a big splash?

Other media and fans can't help but think of the G14 organization back then, and ask in their hearts: Is Florentino going to do the European Super League again?

……

In the summer of 1990, Jean Mark Boseman, who was playing for Liege at the time, was about to expire with the team, but his annual salary was reduced by 60%.

Boseman could not stand such blatant "exploitation", so he wanted to transfer to the French club Dunkirk.

Ideals are always far from reality, and Bosman, who has annoyed the club's hierarchy, can leave so easily. The RFC Liège team offered Boseman a high transfer fee that was much higher than the actual value, which immediately scared away Dunkirk, which had limited financial resources.

You read that right. In world football at the time, even if the player's contract expired, other clubs wanted to recruit him, and it was against this background that Boseman decided to part ways with the RFC Liege.

In August of that year, he took the RFC Liège team and the Belgian Football Federation to court; In November, a Belgian district court ruled that Bosman's transfer was legal and that the Belgian Football Federation lost the case.

Six months later, the Belgian Court of Appeal ruled to dismiss the appeal.

In January 1992, Boseman was denied an application for unemployment benefits from the government. In a fit of rage, he filed a lawsuit against the European Union Court in The Hague, the Netherlands, for $1 million.

The reason is that the club's refusal to allow them to transfer violates the Treaty of Rome of the European Union: "Citizens of the European Union countries have the right to freely choose their residence and work".

At the same time, Boseman asked the UEFA to order UEFA to lift the restrictions on non-UEFA players, as such restrictions are fundamentally racist.

After years of hard work, the UEFA Court finally granted him justice on December 15, 1995, and Boseman was allowed to join the team as a free agent.

From the perspective of world football, Boseman was a small and insignificant player, but his years of appealing efforts turned the landscape of European football upside down – and since then, the Boseman Law has been officially introduced, protecting the interests of players, and the movement of players has suddenly accelerated, and the era of high-speed exchange in European football has begun.

Since 1996, high-performing players in small and medium-sized clubs have tended to wait for their contracts to expire in order to join the big clubs as free agents.

The introduction of Boseman Fa Eucalyptus has saved the big clubs a lot of transfer expenses, but at the same time they have taken a huge risk - in order to attract stars, the big clubs often have to offer unimaginably high salaries, and the team's salary structure has been destroyed.

Over time, the pressure on the club's salary has increased, and the team's salary expenditure has even exceeded the transfer fee for the players it used to buy.

The reason is simple, the law has completely turned the original pattern of European football upside down, and the stronger players have gone to the big clubs in the leagues of various countries.

Boseman Fa has indeed saved clubs a lot of money on transfer expenses, but with it comes increasing salary pressure. Later, the team's heavy salary bills even exceeded the cost of buying a player.

With the rapid expansion of salary expenses of major clubs, it is the "imbalance" of Champions League income, and the major European giants do not want to see small and medium-sized clubs that are far weaker than themselves on paper with similar bonuses and TV broadcasts.

Therefore, in order to seek interests closer to their own power position, media tycoons such as Berlusconi, Murdoch and Kirsch hope to "kick out" those small and medium-sized clubs with less attention, and unite the major giants to form a "giant league".
