The Era of Emerald

ps: I would like to thank "I am the wilderness" for the reward, and I will continue to work hard~

"Okay, okay, Simeone's question, please wait until the end of this meeting to solve it yourself." At this time Gianni Agnelli spoke, although he had given up the position of Juventus chairman to his The younger brother Umberto Agnelli, but since the old man wants to attend the meeting in person this time, naturally no one in Juventus or the Agnelli family dares to go against his opinion, "Let's get back to the topic now, I'm already a 75-year-old man, if you keep arguing like this, my body won't be able to take it anymore."

The Agnelli family is known as the uncrowned king of Italy, and the words of Gianni Agnelli, the leader of the family, naturally carry enough weight.As soon as the old man spoke, Moratti and Craniotti immediately became honest. Although they disliked Juventus, they did not dare to make trouble in front of this respected old man.

"Okay, it's finally quiet now." Gianni Agnelli patted his seat with satisfaction, turned his head and said to Zhuang Mingge, "Antonio boy, since you have seen the shortcomings of this signing restriction, you must Do you already have a plan?"

"Yes, Grandpa Gianni." In front of this old man who "sneezes, the whole of Italy will shake three times", Zhuang Mingge naturally responded immediately and respectfully, "I think the Serie A should be cancelled. Introduce a limit on the number of foreign aid places every year, otherwise, everything will be out of the question.”

"Oh? Of course, after what you said just now, I don't think anyone in this room will agree to the Football Association's continued retention of such a signing policy." Hearing what Zhuang Mingge said, Gianni Agnelli did not Not surprisingly, after all, the other party has already listed the various drawbacks of this set of measures just now, so there is no need to continue to keep it, "Then, as you said just now, what method do you plan to use to replace the current signing system?"

"In this regard, I think we should learn from the practices of the Spanish Football Association and the German Football Association." Zhuang Mingge, who had been prepared for a long time, replied immediately, "The football associations of these two countries will do a good job for every team participating in the top league of the season. There is a rigid requirement that the number of non-European players in the first team of each team shall not exceed five, and those extra non-European foreign players are not eligible to participate in the league matches of the season."

"Well, that's a good idea." Although Gianni Agnelli is old, he is not confused. The advantage of this policy is to "reserve non-European player quotas for each team, so that each club has enough space to adjust the team lineup, and decide their foreign players according to the performance of each foreign aid and the actual situation of the team. In addition, the players who leave can also make room for latecomers, so the team does not have to worry about selling a foreign aid and being forced to narrow down the selection range due to policy restrictions, so that no suitable replacement can be found, or it will be in vain. Increase unnecessary spending."

"As expected of Grandpa Gianni, what you said is absolutely right." Zhuang Mingge complimented the other party a few words, and then said, "Take my Florence as an example, let's say that this winter we are fully equipped to strengthen the depth of the forward bench. The world was looking for players, and finally decided to introduce Argentine center Julio Cruz, who was playing for River Plate at the time, but because we introduced Redondo, who is also a non-European identity, from Real Madrid last summer, the deal was almost stranded If Redondo's Spanish citizenship application had not been approved in time, I am afraid we would have lost this good backup striker by now."

When Zhuang Mingge said these words, except for a few people such as Moratti and the old Agnelli, the other participants were secretly muttering in their hearts: Your kid is very lucky. You discovered Vieri and Inzaghi earlier. Forget about these rough jades, just treat us, how can you find players suitable for Fiorentina halfway around the world?

Well, let's not mention these people who are jealous of Zhuang Mingge's luck, and the topic returns to the discussion of the Serie A policy.

"So, how can we effectively protect local rookies so that they can get full exercise in the top league?" Gianni Agnelli narrowed his eyes, making it impossible to see what he was thinking at this time, " Even according to what you just said, each team cannot have more than five non-EU players at most, but the existence of the Bosman Act still prevents us from stopping high-level players from other countries in the EU to play in Serie A and attack Italian players. living space."

"About this aspect, I also have corresponding countermeasures." Speaking of this, Zhuang Mingge secretly expressed embarrassment to the German Football Association. I will take your solution to solve the shortage of fresh blood in German football three years later. Borrowed, "My opinion is that each team should set aside a certain number of places in the first team for local players and youth training players produced by the club itself. I think that there should be many players in the first team of each team this season. There must be six local players, and at the same time there must be no less than three youth players in the first team."

Without waiting for everyone present to express their opinions, Zhuang Mingge continued to speak:

"Here, I want to confirm the concepts of the two terms I mean, local players and youth training players. Local players, I believe everyone understands well, are players whose nationality is Italian. Of course, here I want to To add, if those players with multiple nationalities choose to participate in international competitions for national teams other than Italy, they will not be included in the quota of local players; youth training players, my definition of this is relatively broad, As long as a player has played for the same club for more than three years before the age of 21, regardless of his nationality, he can be regarded as a youth player of the club."

"The reason why I want to define it this way, everyone must be very clear. If I don't do this, I am afraid that some teams will not be able to get enough youth training players to enter the first team for some reasons; moreover, this will also allow everyone There is a wider range of choices when training young players, and they will not be bound to the small Apennine Peninsula."

"Well, Antonio, your idea is very novel." After listening to Zhuang Mingge's statement, the old Agnelli nodded and said, "I think this plan is very good, what do you think?"

Gianni Agnelli, the most powerful man in Italy, has spoken in agreement, what can anyone else say?They had no choice but to nod in agreement with Zhuang Mingge's reform plan.

However, in order to ensure the stability of the Serie A league during the reform period, the old Agnelli still made certain changes to Zhuang Minge's plan: this season, that is, the 1997-98 season, each Serie A team must have six players in the first team. More than one local player and at least two youth training players, and each of the following two seasons will have an additional quota until the goal of no less than eight local players and no less than four youth training players is achieved.
