"You're talking about Platini?" Daniel? Fletcher asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Scarlett nodded: "Yes, others represent a regression in the development of football for the Premier League and the Red Rebels, which seems to be a little different from the current mainstream football opinion, does it mean that he is wiser and takes precautions?" Or is he a bit of grandstanding? ”

"Sensationalism!" Fletcher and Rosewillie agreed.

As football economists, they all have some influence and must be responsible for what they say, so even if they are on Red Rebel TV, they will definitely not say something that is inconsistent with their own ideas and values, which will only harm their own interests.

Therefore, when the audience is watching this show, there is no need to question whether they are saying this sentence against their will!

"Everyone knows that football has always been a pyramid game, and if one day Platini becomes UEFA president and he wants to turn football into squares, or even put all football clubs on the same parallel line, then I can only say that his brain has been kicked by a donkey!" Daniel? Fletcher unceremoniously defended the Premier League and questioned Platini.

"I believe that it is a good thing to enhance competition, and football is to progress and expand its influence in continuous competition, but that is definitely not built at the top of the suppression pyramid, but should be built on the middle and lower levels of the support pyramid." Roth Willy is more subdued.

"For example, if we follow Platini's approach and cut the number of places in the main leagues of the Champions League and increase the number of places for Eastern European teams, it is tantamount to weakening the influence and intensity of the Champions Cup, why is the level of the League Cup declining so quickly? It's because the level of the participating teams is uneven. ”

"In other words, if we see the Red Rebels play against the Maltese club team in the round of 16, will our fans still be interested in watching the game? Fools know that the Red Rebels have won, and this will completely lose the suspense, and then the attraction completely. ”

"And a game that doesn't appeal to the fans, will he still deserve to be fought for by all teams? Once the top teams such as the Red Rebels, Real Madrid and Barcelona are disillusioned with the Champions Cup, then the sponsors will follow suit, and in the end, the competition will be completely reduced to chicken ribs, just like the League Cup in England. ”

Rothwilli's analysis is decent, unbiased, and can be said to be analyzed and viewed from the perspective of a neutral person, after all, everyone knows that Platini's policy is inevitably suspected of pulling out the seedlings.

'His philosophy is to reduce polarisation, which is correct, but the approach is wrong, if you want to reduce polarisation and at the same time avoid harming the football industry, the best way is to support the middle and lower teams, not to suppress the top teams, but I dare say that UEFA is certainly not willing to do that!' Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Both Willy and Fletcher burst out laughing.

"Why?" Scarlett doesn't know if she really doesn't understand, or if she doesn't understand!

"Now football is commercial football, it is professional football, everything is capital-oriented, so if you want to support the middle and lower reaches of the team and improve their competitiveness with the top teams, to put it bluntly, it is two points, narrow the financial gap between the rich and the poor, and pay attention to the youth training system, the first point is difficult to do, but the second point is relatively easy!"

"The youth system is divided into software and hardware, and the second-rate national leagues that Platini values are rarely really youth systems, especially in clubs, if UEFA can allocate a part of each year's income to these clubs as youth subsidies, as the Premier League does, then their youth training level will also improve, but are they willing?"

"No, no, Daniel, I think it's more interesting to look at this in a different direction." Xiao Yu smiled at Fletcher's words.

Both Fletcher and Rose Willy looked at Xiao Yu, who organized in his mind and explained.

'For example, Chelsea brought in Andriy Shevchenko from AC Milan before, which did cost a lot of money, but we should see that behind this money, there is a whole complete production line of stars, and guess what AC Milan spent the money on next?"

"Last season, AC Milan brought in Gilardino from Parma for 24 million euros and Jankulovski from Udinese for 8.5 million euros; This season, AC Milan brought in Gourcuff from Rennes in France for 3 million euros, Bonella from Parma for 3 million euros, and Betis for Oliveira for 15 million euros, all of which were spent on the transfer fee from the sale of Shevchenko! ”

"Then we look at Parma, Udinese and Betis from lower divisions, Rennes from France and other leagues around us, and then we can see, oh, what UEFA has been calling for to do, it has been achieved through this system!"

"Then I want to ask Mr. Platini, if he follows his approach and suppresses Chelsea and prevents Abou from investing, then Chelsea will not be able to bring in Shevchenko, AC Milan will not be able to bring in Gilardino and others, teams such as Parma and Udinese will not be able to bring in other players, teams in lower leagues will not be able to bring in players, and in the end, the whole football world will become a pool of stagnant water, is this the progress of football?"

Everyone has to admit that after the 2002 football economic crisis, when European football was generally in crisis, and big clubs were struggling to raise heavy money to invest in the transfer market, Abu's emergence did bring a new breath to this lifeless environment, followed by the Abu Dhabi consortium, and now it is the turn of the Dubai consortium.

Imagine if other teams would have had so much money to put into the transfer market without Abu's investment?

"In an increasingly developed society, the interaction between football all over the world is getting smaller and smaller, and if we invest an extra 1 million pounds in England, it is likely that in faraway Brazil, a club will cultivate a number of potential young talents, so that they will be more motivated, this is the butterfly effect of professional football!"

Fletcher and Rose Willy both frowned suddenly, thinking about Xiao Yu's words.

They are all experts in football economics, and they naturally know very well that Xiao Yu's words are reasonable from a certain point of view, after all, football should be passionate, not lifeless.

If it is implemented according to Platini's approach, in the end, the financial gap between the clubs will be shortened, which will be equivalent to reducing the purchasing power of the clubs, and then the entire transfer market will become dead, if it really reaches the ideal state, Chelsea and Watford have the same purchasing power, then this football environment will be finished!

"But, Mr. Xiao Yu, I have reservations about your words, after all, what you are talking about is the transfer fee, but what about the salary structure? By the same token, if you Red Rebels give an extra £1 million in annual salary in order to keep a player in the team, it is likely that a football club in Brazil will be on the verge of bankruptcy due to rising operating costs! ”

Xiao Yu nodded and smiled: "Yes, I admit this possible surname, so I have always attached great importance to the salary structure, I have always called for the introduction of salary restrictions, such as linking the salary structure to the club's revenue, the salary structure of our Red Rebels has always been controlled at the ideal 50%, and there are currently more and more Premier League teams, such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and other teams are following suit, but I dare not guarantee that other teams, other leagues will follow suit!" ”

"To put it bluntly, natural selection, the survival of the fittest and the death of the unfit, professional football is so cruel! If they don't even understand this truth, then I can only say that they don't fit in this circle at all. ”

"But we should also see that teams such as Chelsea and Manchester City are out of control in terms of salaries!" Fletcher raised his doubts again.

"But, Daniel, I have to clarify that these two clubs are debt-free and very healthy!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Why is there no debt?

The Premier League's rules allow private owners to inject capital into clubs only in the form of buying more shares, rather than lending money to the club, which makes it possible for the likes of Abou and Al-Fassim to buy shares in Manchester City if they decide to inject capital into Chelsea and Manchester City, not in debt.

As an example, let's say Chelsea now have total assets of £500 million and no debt, but Abbu wants to buy a star and it costs £50 million, if he chooses to buy shares, then after buying the player, Chelsea's total assets reach £550 million, and there is still no debt.

However, if you choose to inject capital by borrowing, then Chelsea's total assets are still 550 million pounds, but there will be an additional 500 million pounds of debt, which is equivalent to increasing the financial burden of the club.

So, what exactly is the difference between the two funding methods?

Quite simply, if Chelsea is liquidated one day, then Chelsea's assets must first be used to repay debts, and the rest can be given to shareholders, so at this time, borrowing and capital can recover most of the funds by virtue of the right to recover debts, but buying shares may leave nothing.

So why did the Premier League make such a rule?

The purpose is clear, that is, to ensure the interests of the club, and to force those private owners to be truly willing to spend money, rather than lending money to the club.

Not only that, but the Premier League has begun to thoroughly investigate the club's debt problem, and many Premier League teams, including Manchester United, are likely to be relegated if they fail to solve the debt problem within the deadline, which forces the Glazer family to make a choice between taking on the debt themselves or continuing to hang the debt over Manchester United.

If it is the former, once the Glazer family goes bankrupt, Manchester United will not be harmed at all, if it is the latter, the Glazer family will go bankrupt, and Manchester United will also go bankrupt, which is what the Premier League does not want to see, so it is likely to give severe punishment.

"Also, Daniel, don't forget, even Chelsea and Manchester City are starting to pay attention to the salary structure problem at the moment, and I believe that this problem will be solved soon in a few years!" Xiao Yu is very confident in this.

Fletcher and Roth Willy are really irrefutable to Xiao Yu's words, maybe you can say that Chelsea and Manchester City are irresponsible, in order to poach corner stars by raising salaries significantly, but when all football clubs are irresponsible, even FIFA and UEFA are irresponsible, who can ask them to be responsible?

"Platini is ridiculous, he said that in the same week that Manchester City signed Buffon, Manchester City Council announced layoffs, and he used this to criticize Manchester City's policy of buying big-name stars, if according to his understanding, it seems that Manchester City as long as they don't buy Buffon, Manchester City Council will not lay off employees, and the jobs of 2,000 people will be saved, this logic is really ridiculous!"

Xiao Yu is already merciful, otherwise, he will not hesitate to attack Platini's hypocrisy, as a politician, hypocrisy is his indispensable skill, but he should not attack the Red Rebels, attack the Premier League as a weapon.

"He thinks that youth training should be emphasized, but the Premier League, which is the league that attaches the most importance to youth training in Europe's mainstream five leagues, has become the object of his most bitter rebuke, I wonder about this, is it that the Premier League has not invested enough in youth training over the years? With the £10 million a year we invest in the Red Rebels' academy, I can boldly ask, Mr. Platini, what other football club in the world can do as much as ours? ”

Xiao Yu sneered and issued his own provocation, he was not afraid of Platini, in the case of the opponent has already proposed a challenge, although he is not willing to let the club face it head-on, but he is happy to compete with Platini in private.

"I understand Platini's ardent desire to have the support of Eastern Europe and the disadvantaged groups, who are his food and clothing, but this is not a reason for him to attack the Premier League, to attack the Red Rebels, he should reflect on his governing strategy, he should reflect on whether it is possible for his idealism to be implemented in reality!"

Strangling oligarchs is good for a professional sport, Xiao Yu is well aware of this, for example, F1 has been proposing all kinds of rules to end Ferrari and Schumacher all day long, and the International Table Tennis Association has always proposed all kinds of rules to prevent China from becoming a dominant player, and for the UEFA presidential candidate, Platini's administration is understandable.

But as a Red Rebel, Xiao Yu has to do everything possible to help the club achieve better results, which is also understandable, and as the owner of the Red Rebels, Xiao Yu despises Platini's use of the Red Rebels and the Premier League as negative teaching materials!

If it was the Premier League in the previous life, Xiao Yu would feel that Platini had done the right thing, but the Premier League in this life, under the influence and promotion of Xiao Yu, has begun to embark on the development trend of the surname in advance, if it falls short because of Platini's attack at this time, then Xiao Yu dares to say that Platini is the culprit!

"He said that letting the Red Rebels win the Champions Cup is a step backwards, letting the Red Rebels win the Champions Cup is sad, letting the Red Rebels win the Champions Cup for three consecutive years is a disaster in football, then I would like to tell Mr. Platini that our Red Rebels still have only one goal this season, the championship, all the championships!"
