"Ginnes, is it really over?"

"Yes."

Rist came to Spain after setting up at Chelsea.Because the new season of La Liga is about to start, something huge has happened.An embarrassing thing for the entire Spanish football world.The negotiations between the Players Association and the Spanish Football Association ended in disagreement. The Players Association announced that they would go on strike, so the first round of La Liga could only be postponed in the end, and Rist came over to watch the excitement.

What happened this time was a blatant mockery of Spanish football.On the one hand, Real Madrid spent a lot of money, throwing more than 7000 million euros in the transfer market this summer. Even if the transfer income is included, the net investment has exceeded 8000 million euros, nearly 5000 million euros.Not only Real Madrid, even Barcelona, ​​which is known for its frugality, spent nearly [-] million euros this summer.

Not only that, Real Madrid and Barcelona's high-salary players Messi, Kaka, and Cristiano Ronaldo all enjoy an annual salary of tens of millions of euros after tax.Real Madrid and Barcelona have hoarded the most and best stars in the world, and they are spectating the entire European football.

The Spanish national team is strong, and Real Madrid and Barcelona are even stronger. Unfortunately, the entire Spanish football is already riddled with holes.Especially this time, the problems of Spanish football were thoroughly exposed.The current total liabilities of La Liga clubs in Spain alone exceed 40 billion euros.Among them, Real Madrid's debt exceeds 1.7 million euros, and Barcelona's debt exceeds [-] million euros.Others like Valencia owe more than [-] million in debt, and Atletico Madrid also owes nearly [-] million in debt.Like the most serious Zaragoza, which owes [-] million euros in debt, it is not worth the money to sell the club.

Of course, you are not afraid of debts. Manchester United and Arsenal also have a lot of debts. As long as you have enough income, you are not afraid of these debts.Just like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​debts are the highest in European football.But the two clubs are not afraid of this debt at all. On the contrary, they are still lavish in the transfer market, and their salaries are also the top in European football.Unfortunately, the problem is that the current Spanish football except Real Madrid and Barcelona.The income of other clubs is pitifully low.

This incident was mainly caused by arrears of wages.At present, among Spanish professional players, there are more than 200 first-team players who owe wages, and the total wage owed has reached 7000 million euros. These are basically after-tax salaries that should be paid to players.If you count before tax.This number is simply astonishing.

So when the players quit, they will make demands.If you ask for three months of wage arrears, you have the right to terminate the contract, and you need a guarantee from the Football Association, etc.In the end, it was not possible to negotiate, so this is the situation.

"Can the second round come true?"

Rist has only a vague impression of this period of history.I don't know what the final result is.But Rist knows one thing, that is, this year's La Liga is still going on smoothly, and there is no problem affecting this season's La Liga.

"I don't know. But now the Football Association is in a hurry, and they are still negotiating urgently at night. It is estimated that I will meet with the players union tonight."

"Really..."

Rist shook his head.The wages of La Liga itself are already very low, and now they can't even pay this wages.La Liga wage arrears are very serious, but La Liga players don't know how happy they are compared to La Liga players.Wage arrears are very common among West Second Division clubs, and almost all West Second Division clubs have wage arrears to varying degrees.In the past few years, the players union communicated with the club and the Football Association several times.But it didn't work.

This time they couldn't bear it anymore.Especially the low-level league players such as West Second Division players and West Third Division players, their income is very low, and they still point to this money to support their families.So they made up their minds this time and must do it to the end.

"Rist, you know what's funnier?"

"what?"

"Malaga filed for bankruptcy?"

"kindness?"

Rist looked at Carvajal in surprise.Because of Carvajal.There are still many cooperations between Rist and Malaga.The boss of Malaga is still a very generous boss. He should invest and give money.In the past few years, it has spent nearly [-] million yuan, and even filed for bankruptcy.It's just hilarious.

"Ginnes, you're kidding."

"What a joke. In recent days, 21 clubs have filed for bankruptcy one after another, and Malaga is one of them."

"21? That's a lot. And Malaga is fine, why file for bankruptcy."

Rist was shocked to hear that 21 clubs had filed for bankruptcy.Although Spanish clubs are generally in poor condition now.The debts are high, the salary arrears are high, but not to this point. 21, that is, nearly one-third of Spanish professional clubs have submitted bankruptcy applications.

"Bullshit bankruptcy, all of them are trying to force the Spanish Football Association. More than half of the 21 clubs are booing, that is, one-third of the clubs are really difficult. Malaga wants to play in the Champions League. But they are afraid of financial fairness Policy, so I came up with such an idea.”

With Carvajal's explanation, Rist was really dumbfounded.Malaga want to compete in the Champions League but are afraid of UEFA's Financial Fair Play policy.Because his finances are not in line with the financial fairness policy at all, and he does not have the strength of Mansour and Tamim.Some other funds can be pulled over to support Malaga.So fiscal fair play cannot be passed at all.

So Malaga thought of a way.There is a special bankruptcy protection regulation in La Liga. Clubs that apply for bankruptcy will not be administratively downgraded due to economic problems within two years, and they can also renegotiate debt repayment contracts.Because Malaga's income has been limited in the past two years, they all rely on the boss's investment.Therefore, on the books, it meets the bankruptcy conditions of "making ends meet".Malaga is aiming at the European war, and the farce of filing for bankruptcy is also an insurance to ensure the qualification for the European war in the future.

"Hehe, the boss of Malaga is too smart."

"However, his method is a crooked idea. Malaga's income is pitifully low now. Last year's broadcast fee was only 800 million euros. The broadcast fees of Real Madrid and Barcelona are more than 3000 million. Malaga's own income If there is no increase, we will not be able to pass the fiscal fairness policy.”

"Too."

La Liga's broadcast fees are very unfair.Just like the current La Liga broadcast fees, the two clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona can jointly get more than 40.00% of the share, and the broadcast fee income exceeds 3000 million euros.The second echelon like Atletico Madrid can also receive more than 4000 million euros in broadcast fees.But for those lowest-end clubs, the broadcast fee is only 600 million euros, 800 million euros.

"Now that the Spanish economy is weak, it seems that this problem will not be solved in a short while."

Although affected by the European debt crisis, Germany was the first to react.Germany's economy is now the engine of the European Union. Without Germany, the current Eurozone would probably have collapsed long ago.There is also the United Kingdom, although it is also a country that has been hit hard, but it still stood up with its strong strength.

Compared with them, countries such as Spain and Portugal do not show any signs of rising, on the contrary, their economies are getting more and more depressed.Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Spanish football to get out of the current quagmire.

"Solution? Not to mention other things, the problem of wage arrears will not be solved in a few years. Maybe a few years later, the problem of wage arrears will become more serious."

Carvajal shook his head.In Carvajal's view, there is no solution to the current wage arrears problem in Spanish football in a short period of time.Real Madrid and Barcelona are getting richer and richer, and they have seized too many resources.

To use a joke on the Internet, the top superstars are in the Western Super League, world-class stars are in the Premier League, and Serie A and La Liga have become everyone's youth training bases.The two giants of the Western Super League have recruited good stars from all over the world, even the Premier League giants.The Premier League giants and strong teams that have lost their stars, relying on their strong financial strength, began to poach players from La Liga clubs.

However, the current La Liga clubs are very willing for the Premier League teams to come and poach people.Because the Premier League clubs are rich, they are generous in transfer fees.Being able to sell high-priced players is a timely matter for the current La Liga clubs.

"These Spanish players are too pitiful. A good person like me can't see it."

Seeing that the current wage arrears problem is getting more and more serious, Riester's heart is completely itchy.In the current Spanish football, not only the stars of the first team are seriously underpaid.Many La Liga clubs owe too much debt, and even the salaries of the second team and the youth training camp can hardly afford it.

Originally, the second teams of many La Liga clubs were in the second and third leagues of La Liga, but as La Liga clubs became poorer and poorer, there was no time to manage the second team.The second teams of these La Liga clubs can't get rid of each of them, and can only be reduced to a lower level league.

"Rist, what are you thinking about?"

Rist said that he is a good person. If he heard this sentence at home, Carvajal would definitely spit it out.This kid, Rist, has always been so good-hearted and caring about other people.

"What can I think. I just feel sorry for the situation of Spanish players, especially those small players. It is estimated that Spanish football will continue to be short of money, and many players who should have become Raul have changed careers. How many new 'Rauls' are lost."

"You want to invest money?"

Carvajal is an old fox. After Rist said a few words, he already understood what Rist was thinking.Rist is coming against the trend, forget about investing money in Spanish football.

"It's not me alone, the two of us cooperate."

"How to cooperate?"

"You add me and you're looking for a club in a difficult situation. What an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will never come again."
