"What, Pavel."

Rist put down the newspaper in his hand and looked up at Merkley.Merkley read the newspaper in Rist's hand, shook his head and said, "Headache. I didn't expect that our chairman really wanted to make drastic reforms. I was a little scared when I saw it, because I was afraid that those giants would concentrate their firepower on me. .”

"Ha ha."

Rist has kept a low profile recently.Anyway, Rist has already got all the benefits of changing fishing.During the transfer period, the agent is the master of the wind and rain, but after the transfer period is over, he should not appear in the media too much.

But Rist is low-key, but life is not monotonous at all.Watching European football come and go, swords and hokage, it is very cool to see.Because of the prosperity of the European transfer market, UEFA President Michel Platini was furious.Because Platini is working on the "Financial Fair Play Policy", discussions have begun among the UEFA Executive Committee.Since Platini became UEFA president last year, he has been trying to pass the "Financial Fair Play Policy" for nearly a year and a half.

But at this time, the major giants and upstarts in European football satirized Platini's new policy with amazing transfers.Every transfer this summer made Platini furious.How can they make Platini comfortable with such naked face-slapping.Platini is also very courageous. The first to criticize is Real Madrid, the world's No. [-] football giant, and Manchester City, the No. [-] upstart in European football. He doesn't care about Florentino's strong ability and influence at all.

"These transfers, which are extremely outside the normal range, are happening almost every day now. These transfers are a serious challenge to the spirit of fair play and a threat to our concept of financial balance in all competitions. Real Madrid, Manchester City, this kind of unrestrained The transfer will definitely mess up the transfer market. It will also affect the orderly and long-term development of football. At that time, they will all be the sinners of European football."

Who is Florentino?When he first served as the chairman of Real Madrid, it was also when g14 was the most arrogant.At that time, he was even able to sit on an equal footing with FIFA President Blatter and UEFA President Johansson, and he could directly challenge him.

Although you Platini is known as the best player in French history and is the current UEFA president, Florentino still doesn't take him seriously.Compared with Blatter and Johansson, Platini is not yet at the same level.So Florentino hit back directly: "Real Madrid has money, so they buy players. Even if we are a loan, it is the money we raised ourselves, and it has nothing to do with UEFA. In the future, we will repay the loan. European football doesn't need to care."

Florentino disdains Platini.The emerging nouveau riche doesn't care about Platini either.The CEO of Manchester City speaks very kindly.Didn't say any bad words either.But the whole story has the same meaning: I'm fucking rich, we spend our own money, it's none of your business.

Not only that, the "Daily Mirror" criticized Platini for being inconsistent.Especially in 07, there was news that Real Madrid wanted to introduce Cesc Fabregas.Media reports at the time said that Real Madrid might introduce Cesc Fabregas at a price of nearly 6000 million euros.At the time Platini said it was an acceptable transfer.

But Al Fahim, who had just entered Manchester City at the time, was signing up aggressively.There is news from the media that the Middle East oil tycoon hopes to introduce Kaka, the best player in world football, at a price of 2000 million euros.At that time, Platini strongly condemned Manchester City's money offensive.They believe that the chaos in the European football order was caused by them.

There was nothing before.But now Platini must pass Financial Fair Play.The English media quit.The Premier League has poor youth training, and it is not at the same level as other European leagues.The Premier League has been able to get to where it is now, and it does not rely on the youth training of Premier League clubs.It depends on the money of the Premier League clubs.Not ordinary rich.If there are still restrictions in this regard, it will be impossible for the Premier League to maintain its current strength.

So the "Daily Mirror" caught Platini's two attitudes and asked him why he could accept Real Madrid spending a lot of money to buy people and replace Manchester City with the Premier League, but he was condemned?This made Platini quite embarrassed. Platini has said so many things, and if you look carefully, you will definitely be able to find the inconsistent ones.Not to mention Platini, if anyone sorts out what he has said all his life, it is estimated that there are definitely not one or two contradictory ones, but dozens or hundreds.

So Platini said: "You embarrass me a bit! What's the difference? I can understand why people in England are upset, but that's not my intention, my intention is to rationalize things."

"I didn't know Real Madrid were going to buy players on loan this summer, so we'll reassess, we will. The truth is, how do we protect football? I don't think it's a good thing if a player sells for £1m. In an economic crisis, spending 2 million pounds to buy a player is not good for football. We oppose any signings beyond our own financial strength, because it will not only bring danger to ourselves, but also to the development of European football pose a danger."

This blow down Platini is disheartened.Giants like Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Inter Milan sneered at Platini. They didn't care that he was the president of UEFA, and they bought people when they should.And those nouveau riche were even more displeased with him.

After all, according to Platini's "Financial Fairness Policy", the order of European football is basically fixed.Just like a club like Manchester City, with their pitiful income, there is no chance of development at all.Those who can make money now are wealthy families, and the income of ordinary clubs is pitifully low.How to compete with these giants.Therefore, the upstarts completely ignored Platini and spent their money as they wanted.

"Actually, if I were Florentino, I would support Platini. "Financial Fair Play" has everything to do with Real Madrid."

Real Madrid is eligible to support Platini.In La Liga, Real Madrid is the most profitable.Compared with Real Madrid, La Liga clubs, including Barcelona, ​​will not be Real Madrid's opponents financially.Once there are restrictions on signings, Real Madrid will still be the most expensive in La Liga.No other club can match Real Madrid.Relying on their strong commercial income, Real Madrid can still maintain their status.And to please Platini, maybe the so-called "godfather" belongs to Real Madrid.

"Although I don't have much contact with Florentino, I also know that he is not the one who can bow his head."

Rister nodded.What kind of character is Florentino? He is a real predator in European football.Compared with Florentino, Platini is not qualified enough to tell him what to do.

"By the way, Barwell. Tell me exactly when the "Financial Fair Play Policy" will be implemented and what is the specific content."

For "Financial Fair Play", Rist only slightly understands.And Rist seems to remember that this policy was passed in the summer of 2009.And there is still a buffer period of several years and the so-called observation period.It was not until around 2014 that the real implementation began.Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain were fined 5000 million euros.

But now it is completely different from what I remember.First of all, Platini's strength in UEFA is different.Although Platini was elected as the president of UEFA in history, he did not have an advantage within UEFA.There are still many hardcore supporters of Johansson. They are all conservatives and oppose Platini's reforms.Therefore, Platini has not been able to fully control UEFA after two years as UEFA president.Many of his policies simply cannot be promoted.

It has been two years since Platini really took control of UEFA, and one person's contribution is the greatest.That is the Spanish presidency.It is also the defection of Villar, the chairman of the UEFA referee committee.This person turned out to be in Johansson's camp.Later defected to Platini.Let the strength of the Johansson camp drop sharply.And Villar is very strong. Before serving as the chairman of the UEFA Referee Committee, he was a member of the FIFA Referee Committee.In the current UEFA, he is a powerful figure.Therefore, Platini and Villar are similar to a kind of alliance, which stabilized the situation of UEFA at once.Only then did Platini's various reform measures.

But it's different now.The current Michel Platini took control of the UEFA executive committee not long after becoming UEFA president.Because the executive committee members from Eastern Europe, Central Europe, and Northern Europe all support Platini, although he is not absolutely strong, Platini's position is also very stable.Villar is a fence, of course, a fence of the powerful faction.Seeing that Platini has a big momentum, he immediately cooperated with Platini and helped Platini take control of UEFA in one fell swoop.

"It's coming soon. It should pass this year."

This is not a big secret, and the relationship between Rist and Merkley is also an alternative alliance.So Merkley didn't hide from Rist.

"It is estimated that there will be a buffer period of about two or three years for the club, and then an observation period of about two years. It should be 12 or 13 years, and it will not exceed 14 years at the latest."

Merkley also revealed the contents to Rist.Merkley, as the chief executive of UEFA, has a pivotal position.What he revealed is basically a proposal that UEFA is about to take shape.

"kindness."

Rister nodded.Speaking of which, Rist doesn't like "Financial Fair Play", because only when the transfer market keeps expanding can agents like Rist make more money.

But if you don't like it, you don't like it. If it is rationally speaking, Platini's "Financial Fair Play Policy" is beneficial to the long-term development of European football.Looking at German football around the 21st century, although the Bundesliga at that time could not be said to spend a lot of money, their clubs still spent a lot of money.It is a pity that with the bankruptcy of the Kirsch Group, the entire Bundesliga has fallen into a trough.Many of the backbone of the Bundesliga were almost lost in that one.Including Dortmund and Schalke 04, they are one step away from bankruptcy.

Like the current strength of the Premier League, it depends on England's fanatical fans and high broadcast fees.But as the economic crisis intensifies, fans' spending power will also decrease.More importantly, once there are any problems with the increasingly inflated broadcast fees, the clubs in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League will also be hit hard.The bigger the bubble now, the bigger the blow will be.

But this policy also has its downside. The "Bosman Act" has clearly distinguished the strengths and weaknesses of European football. If it were not for the sudden rise of upstarts like Chelsea, the order of European football might have stabilized already.Now there is a financial fair play policy. If this policy can be strictly implemented, it will basically prevent the existence of Chelsea and Manchester City that disrupt the old order of European football.

At that time, the giants will still be giants, and it is basically impossible for the middle and lower reaches of the team to wrestle with these giants.Originally, the strength is not as good as the rich, the income is not as good as the rich, and the spending is not as good as the rich. Under such circumstances, there will never be upstarts like Chelsea and Manchester City.

"You care so much about this policy?"

"Of course. I want to let the transfer market have a final madness before this policy comes out."

Speaking of this policy, the wealthy are not afraid of it, but the upstarts who are most afraid of it are those who come from behind.They will definitely do all the accumulation before this policy is implemented, that is, during the buffer period.

"If Michelle knew what you were thinking, she would probably shoot the table again."

"Hehe. He is his UEFA president, and I am my agent." (To be continued...)
