"Rist, do you really think this policy can be implemented?"

The financial fair play policy was one of Platini's slogans when he took office, and most people in European football understand this clearly.But for many giants, he doesn't take him seriously.Even many upstarts don't think the policy will be passed anytime soon.Because the resistance to this policy is too great, De Laurentiis has some doubts.

"of course."

Rist nodded clearly, and then said affirmatively: "Aurelio, I just talked with Merkley. This policy is estimated to be passed within this year, and it is possible to enter the observation period in 10 or 11 years. It may even start to enter the observation period in 09. According to the performance of the club at this time, determine the subsequent level. In 12, 13 years, and no later than 14 years, this policy will be officially implemented.”

The buffer period is to give the major clubs a chance to take a breather, and it is also to give them a time to adapt and prepare.But once the observation period is entered, UEFA will begin to control the financial situation of major clubs.It has also begun to be included in UEFA's financial fair play policy. If club debts continue to increase during this observation period, then it is time to punish these clubs in 13 and 14.

"The best situation is that transfers made 10 years ago are not counted in this policy, so there will be a buffer period of three transfer periods. But there may also be a buffer period for winter transfers, and then the transfers starting in the summer of 09 will not be counted. count towards this policy."

This is still being discussed within UEFA.Historically, after this policy was passed in the summer of 09, it was announced that the financial situation 10 years ago would not be included in this fiscal fairness policy.But if it is passed in 08.That's hard to say.Maybe UEFA is just giving a buffer period for winter transfers.

"The dog is meddling with the mouse. We spend our money and it has nothing to do with UEFA. It's just not giving us clubs the opportunity to develop."

Hearing Rist's positive answer, De Laurentiis was very angry.In fact, De Laurentiis is a very sensible person, and he never thought of taking the path of Chelsea and Manchester City for the development of Naples.He likes to develop Naples step by step, and he has a long-term plan for the development of Naples.Conceptually, there is no difference from Platini.Both of them don't like the development of nouveau riche.

But that's how people are.If De Laurentiis is not the chairman of Naples, then he himself will agree with Platini, and even think that Platini's policy is what football needs most.But precisely because he is the head coach of Naples, Naples is now in need of development, so he opposes Platini's policy.Different positions will make everyone stand at different angles.The conclusions drawn are quite different.

"In other words, there will be transfers this summer and winter. There will be no problems. From next season, we may not be able to sign in as we like."

De Laurentiis had a lot on his mind.The transfer market this summer was too crazy, so De Laurentiis, who likes long-term development, did not make a move this summer.He just kept his good players.He will only start signings after the transfer market has calmed down.

Although Naples was just a newly promoted team last season, Naples became the club with the third-ranked offensive ability in Serie A last season.The offensive combination composed of Falcao, Lavezzi and Afeilai in the frontcourt is powerful.Let these three people become sweet pastries in the transfer market.This summer De Laurentiis worked hard to keep the three of them.I didn't expect to hear such news now.

"But there is such a possibility."

De Laurentiis' face was not very good-looking.Because of Maradona's relationship.Naples has a great reputation in European football.But speaking of it, Naples is not a fart in the history of Italian football.

Naples, which has a century-old history until now, has only two Serie A titles, three Italian Cup titles, and one UEFA Cup title.And most of the championships here were won by Maradona when he was there.It can be seen that the history of the Naples club is pale.

In addition, the city of Naples is not rich at all, so the consumption of fans is not as good as that of fans in big cities.So last year the Naples club earned less than 7000 million euros.Now the Premier League club's broadcast fee alone is enough to make Naples envious. The new Premier League broadcast contract that started in 07.Let alone the broadcast fee of the Premier League champions is 5000 million pounds, even the broadcast fee of the relegated club is 3000 million pounds.The income of the Premier League champions from broadcasting fees alone exceeds the annual operating income of Naples.

In the Premier League, there are seven clubs with an annual income of more than 5000 million.Moreover, the Wigan club with the lowest income in the Premier League has an annual income of more than [-] million pounds.Compared with them, Naples' income is pitifully low.

So if UEFA's financial policy is really followed, a club like Naples can only slowly become a small club, unable to compete with the Serie A giants at all.Don't talk about competing with the Premier League giants, even if you are competing with the Premier League's mid-range teams, you are not qualified.

"okay, I get it."

…………

There are not many secrets in European football, and Rist deliberately spread the news.Of course, Platini himself also hopes that this news will spread, and then he will also look at the reactions of the European football giants.

Don't look at Platini's strong statement, but he is actually very nervous.After all, in European football, most of the resources are monopolized by these giants and upstarts.Otherwise, the g14 formed by them back then would not have had such a high influence.Now the financial fair play policy affects the entire European football world, and Platini is of course also beating drums in his heart.

The new season has already begun, and the transfer market is about to end.Just when the transfer market was about to close, everyone thought that when the transfer market ended this summer, Naples made a move.

Naples was quiet all summer, but at the last moment it started to go crazy.They first reached an agreement with the Almeria team in La Liga, and introduced their defensive midfielder Felipe Melo at a price of 1700 million euros.In fact, the first contact with Almeria was Fiorentina in Serie A, but unfortunately in this abnormal summer.Melo's worth is also too high.

Melo is 25 years old this year, and he landed in European football when he was 21 years old. After the 21-year-old Melo emerged in Brazilian football, he soon joined Mallorca in La Liga.But Mallorca's coach Cooper didn't give him many chances at the time, and Mallorca also sold him to Racing Santander.Here he started as the main force, but Portugal became the head coach in the second season, and he was relegated to the sidelines again.

So Melo moved again and came to Almeria.Almeria was newly promoted at the time, but it was here that Melo performed extremely well.Participating in 34 league games this season, the "record" of scoring 7 goals and receiving 12 yellow cards is amazing.Moreover, Almeria, a newly promoted horse, actually got a good result of No.8 in La Liga.Therefore, Melo immediately attracted the attention of many clubs.It is precisely because of Melo's outstanding performance last season.Plus this summer's crazy transfer market.Almeria is clinging to the high price.

Fiorentina is considered a strong team in Serie A, but they are not that rich.They have already spent 4000 million euros this summer, and the transfer fee budget is no longer enough.Therefore, they are struggling with Almeria. Anyway, Melo must transfer this summer.And I love Florence.Unexpectedly, Naples stepped in.Melo was taken away directly with a price of 1700 million euros.Cut off this time.It made Florence very dissatisfied.But he can't help it, because Naples is richer than Florence.

This is already only four days before the transfer market closes.However, Naples, who accelerated their pace, did not stop their pace of signings. This time their eyes are on German football.

August 2008, 8.With only two days to go before the closing of the transfer market, Naples announced the introduction of their wide player Sanchez from Borussia Dortmund for 29 million euros.

Sanchez is currently 19 years old and will be 20 in a few months.But his performance in Dortmund was very good, especially last season Dortmund finally started to get rid of the downturn and won No.5 in the Bundesliga. His performance has steadily increased, which is the best result in the past five years.Among them, Sanchez has contributed a lot. His excellent breakthrough ability, passing ability and even shooting ability on the wing are important means for Dortmund's offense.He played [-] times for Dortmund last season, scoring four goals and six assists.It is also a sweet pastry this summer.

It's just that Dortmund's asking price is too high, and no club has ever made a move.And Riester also hopes that Sanchez will continue to be trained in Dortmund.But now it was Napoli who were interested in Sanchez, and Rist agreed to the transfer.Sanchez has historically become famous in Serie A. Sanchez's characteristics are very suitable for the slow-paced Serie A.Of course, Dortmund also knocked Naples hard.A player who is only 19 years old sold 2500 million euros.It is not a small income for Dortmund, which is still in economic crisis.

Naples made a move and spent 4000 million euros in five days.At this time Platini did not express his opinion, on the contrary he had a good impression of Naples.

Why?the reason is simple.That is, Naples' crazy signings now show that he is afraid of the "Financial Fair Play Policy", and the current madness is to avoid this policy.Being fearful shows that Naples takes European football and themselves seriously.Thinking of it this way, he has a good impression of Naples.

But when Platini was just observing the reaction of European football, the upstart Manchester City gave him a big upset. On August 2008, 8, in the last few hours when the transfer market was closed, Manchester City, which had spent more than 31 million euros, announced another transfer.Manchester City announced the introduction of Hamburg midfielder Nigel De Jong at a price of 2000 million euros.

Manchester City and Naples think differently.Manchester City has plenty of money, and the last thing they are afraid of is spending money.After Manchester City heard the "Financial Fairness Policy", the first thing that came to mind was to store water.It is a very good way to deal with UEFA by first introducing a group of outstanding players and then selling the players when this policy enters the observation period.Manchester City has never cared about money, as long as it is a problem that money can solve, it is not a problem for Manchester City.

Platini has a good impression of Naples, but a bad impression of Manchester City.This summer, including De Jong, Manchester City has spent nearly 5000 million euros.This is really not giving yourself face at all.

Even a UEFA president like Platini is the same.Manchester City also acted in advance for the financial fairness policy.But the same approach, in the eyes of Platini is a completely different impression.

The entire European football world did not expect it.At the moment when everyone thought that there would be no heavyweight transfer after Robinho, there can also be a final madness.In just a few days before the end of the transfer market, the transfer fees of the five major leagues in European football easily exceeded 26 million again.So far, the total transfer fee of the five major European football leagues has exceeded [-] billion, which shocked the entire transfer market.
