The Era of Emerald

So far, the bidding conference for the broadcast rights of Serie A has come to an end.

"Antonio, you really have it!" Boss Mo patted Zhuang Mingge on the shoulder happily. This time, the professional league's harvest at the bidding meeting can be said to have far exceeded their expectations, and this is only the domestic copyright of Serie A. Income, overseas copyrights are not included at all.

Compared with the three-year broadcast contract of 5000 million US dollars offered by Mediaset, this large contract worth over [-] million yuan has completely made many bosses here realize the benefits that Serie A, the world's number one league, has brought to them. benefit.

With a three-year contract, the Serie A league can get up to 2.25 million US dollars in TV broadcast fees every year, half of which will be paid in advance, and will be shared equally by the 18 teams participating in the Serie A next season.In other words, the league has not yet started, and the clubs that will participate in the Serie A next season have already earned 625 million US dollars. But an astronomical sum that they had never imagined before!

For example, in 2012 when Zhuang Mingge crossed over, among the 4000 participating teams in Serie A, there were eleven clubs with an annual salary of less than 600 million US dollars, accounting for more than half of the entire Serie A. Putting that $[-] million back then would have been enough to make up for many teams' financial holes.

But now it is 1996, when the Bosman Act was just implemented for one year, and the wages of players have not yet shown signs of crazy rise. Taking into account the inflation in these years and the sharp drop in the exchange rate of the US dollar, the more than 600 million US dollars is very expensive for many Serie A players. It's a huge sum of money for the team.It can even be said that with this money, these teams don't even have to worry about paying the players' salaries next season!

Of course, don’t forget that there are still more than 1 million US dollars in broadcast fees that have not been allocated, and the overseas rights of Serie A have not been sold. If these incomes are all included, I am afraid that the bottom three teams will be able to get tens of millions of dollars in broadcast fees !

Although due to the proposal to improve the stadium facilities passed in the previous professional league meeting, many teams had to reluctantly spend part of the broadcast fees they just received to renovate the turf and stands, but such a huge broadcast income is still in a certain way. To a certain extent, this summer's Serie A transfer market has been stimulated.

Many small and medium-sized players who were originally short of financial resources will immediately wave their checks to join the wave of purchasing players after receiving this huge amount of money, and "seduce" their favorite players with dollars that have not yet been warmed up.

Udinese, which owns Bierhoff, was the first to act. At this time, Pozzo was still very ambitious, and he wanted to use his own efforts to make Udinese become one of the Serie A players like Parma and Roma. He supported a strong team capable of competing for the league championship. It was not until the economic bubble burst after the advent of the new century that he changed his management policy and began to operate the club by buying low and selling high.

However, the old Pozzo's family is not as rich and powerful as Moratti and Berlusconi. With limited property, he suffers from insufficient funds, so he can only make small troubles in the transfer market every summer.

However, it is different now. After the release of the new broadcast fee allocation plan and the announcement of the rich results at the bidding conference, the old Pozzo, who felt confident, first used a generous salary to stay in Germany, which shined in the European Cup final. Center Bierhoff.Later, after discussing with the team's coach Zaccheroni, the old Pozzo was determined to give full play to the high-altitude advantage of the German center, strengthen the team's offensive power on the side, and at the same time find a striker partner with outstanding footwork for the German.

Therefore, under the guidance of this signing idea, Marcio Amoruso (the one who later played for Dortmund) transferred from Flamengo, and the Danish attacker Martin Jorgensen also moved forward a little earlier. In [-], Wuji played for Wuji, and Udinese's frontcourt trident took shape.

Udinese is vigorously engaged in team building, and other Serie A teams are naturally not idle. Roma also introduced a player from Palmeiras in the Brazilian League, but unlike Udinese, Red The Wolves introduced a right back this time, and his name is Marcos Evangelista de Morales.

Of course, perhaps everyone is more familiar with his other name, that is-Cafu.

And Mantovani Jr. is still desperately tossing Sampdoria left to him by his deceased father. Due to the team's unsatisfactory performance last season, Mantovani Jr. insisted on going his own way, regardless of everyone's opposition. Last season's top scorer Chiesa was sold to Parma; meanwhile, Dutch midfielder Clarence Seedorf switched to Spanish giants Real Madrid for $860 million, and Ranieri seems to think he can play Real Madrid's midfielder. The banner of the field organization; the team's main goalkeeper Paghetto last season was also presented to AC Milan by Mantovani.

After selling many absolute main players in a row, Mantovani Jr., who is keen to operate player transfers, also made several signings. He introduced Juan Veron from the Argentine Boca Juniors, French midfielder Leon The strength and depth of Sampdoria's bench were further weakened by Mantovani's misconduct.

The small clubs in Serie A are not idle either. Vicenza, which performed well in the league last season, lived within its means. Galliani agreed to sell half of the ownership of the two teenagers, Koko and Ambrosini, to himself, and then ran to Florence to get Luca Toni, who was planning to find a team to rent out for training. Arrived in Vicenza.

Naples has invited the old Yugoslavian coach Boskov this season. Although the club was in deep financial crisis before, after getting this life-saving money, the financial situation has eased a lot. Naples has also introduced many players. It is worth mentioning Yes, among these players, there are Frings, Schneider and Nowotny under the GM company. After all, the high cost performance of German players is recognized by the world. At the same time, the success of Inter Milan's "troika" made many Serie A teams are quite fond of German players.

The German players signed by gm company also set off a new wave of landing in Serie A under the influence of the shareholder wind of the European Cup. Christian Zieger joined AC Milan, Jeremes flew from Munich to Rome, Michele El Ballack jumped from the small Bundesliga club Chemnitz to Vicenza, which was recruiting everywhere. After watching the video, Guidolin decided that this was a more suitable tactics for him than Ambrosini. players.

Finally, under Zhuang Mingge's unremitting efforts, the wheel of history has quietly changed again.
