Chapter 9 Two Invitations

On 10 July 2009, the German Football Association gathered the general managers of Bundesliga clubs, Bundesliga B, and C Germany to discuss a series of issues such as strengthening the competitiveness of the league and the number of foreign players playing.

The meeting lasted three days to discuss how to strengthen the competitiveness of the league going forward.

The main contradiction in this discussion is the issue of overseas player quotas. There is competition among the five major European leagues, and the most intuitive competition is in the UEFA Champions League each year.

Germany this year made a lot of jokes, all three teams that participated in the Champions League were eliminated.

Shaq United and Dortmund failed to feature in the group stage.The remaining Munich were also knocked out of the Champions League by second seed Real Madrid in the eighth final .

Three teams representing the highest level of competition in the Bundesliga, none of them appeared in the quarter-finals.

This made the German Football Association very angry, but also felt the need to restructure.

Especially when Real Madrid sent all three foreign players to play, and the effect was very good, the German Football Association could not help but start to consider the problem.

That is, is the number of foreign players they play too little?

While this is to protect local players and ensure that German football is not damaged at all, it also states the problem at the same time.

Inadequate competitiveness, and unable to attract big players to the Bundesliga.

Currently, each of Europe's five major leagues has a limit for foreign players to play.

For example

The Premier League has four foreign aid quotas, but each game only three people can play. In addition, it was also confirmed that each first team club must have 11 local players.

League 1 allows four foreign players, but only three players can play in each game.

La Liga-each team can register up to 3 players from EU member states, and up to 3 non-EU players can play at the same time.

Series A-The amount of foreign aid for each team is actually unlimited. Only in terms of signings, at most one non-EU overseas player can be introduced in one summer (foreign assistance already in Serie A does not count).If you want to introduce more, you have to sell one foreign player. Foreign players who can play at the same time are limited to 3 players.

Bundesliga-each team can have four foreign players, but only two people can be sent to the field per game.

Compared to the restriction of three foreign players playing at the same time in other leagues, the Bundesliga clearly has one place less. Don't underestimate this place. This is related to the competitiveness of the team and the attractiveness of the league.

While there are many talented players in Europe, do not forget that there are two big countries in South America, Brazil and Argentina.

Even in the African continent, there are many other talented players.

In this case, the Bundesliga is gradually losing interest to foreign players while ensuring its own player playing time.

Now, the German Football Association has also found this issue, they want to attract more and better foreign players through reform.

This can not only immediately improve the competitiveness of the Bundesliga, but also put more pressure on local players who are satisfied with just the status of the current situation.

It is the aim of the German Football Association to hold meetings of the general managers of clubs at all levels.

It can be estimated that before the start of the new season, the German Football Association will issue a new decision.

In the morning, Hoffenheim was still at peace.

Compared to reformed German football, the Meteor team is relatively safe and not affected at all.

In fact, Zhang Xian had noticed the matter a long time ago, and responded with a sneer.

Increasing the quota of overseas players?

This is just a good show of collusion between the big teams and the German Football Association.

not only did it increase the competitiveness of German football, but it also increased the attractiveness of the league.

But there are benefits and disadvantages!

What did they sacrifice?

What they sacrifice is the foundation of small and medium teams.

There is one more quota for overseas players. Large teams can buy overseas players easily, just by waving their money. But the little team can only look at the financial statements and cry in the corner.

This restructuring seems to be working, but it is also increasingly pressing the living space of small and medium teams as the scale of competition between large and small and medium teams is getting bigger.

Big teams can continue to dominate, small teams can hardly survive, the magic that happens in football and the fierce games that can be seen before will be increasingly rarely seen in the Bundesliga.

Of course, to some extent, this was also Zhang Xian's interpretation of jealousy, and hatred.

If he was the general manager of that big team, he would definitely act.

Unfortunately, the team he runs at the moment is not even a professional team.

Recently, Zhang Xian was doing physical training every day.

After a certain amount of practice, Zhang Xian felt his body become stronger and more agile.

___________

The club implemented a nine-five system. At eight in the morning, Zhang Xian came to the club.

Of course, he was not a hardworking person, especially for breakfast.

The market abroad is different from China. There is no store that prepares breakfast in the morning. Someone has to do it alone. Zhang Xian did not have any pots and pans in his mansion, but fortunately, there was breakfast in the club cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, not many people had breakfast, so there was only one table.

The four of them were eating a simple breakfast, and Mary suddenly said, "The Scherf brothers are back!"

Hearing those words, Neumann also nodded and said: "I also saw Mr. Wagner in the morning."

Everyone understood that these two people represented the two factions of the coaching staff.

Ivan said nonchalantly: "I heard the news, do I need to bump into someone?"

"Did they deceive people?" Braden shrugged: "At the club, they have a real influence, after all, a lot of players listen to them."

A hint of helplessness appeared on everyone's faces.

After all, in the past, these two groups not only fired the head coach, but also put pressure on the sporting director.

As long as the sporting director wanted to intervene in their affairs, they would not be able to hold up well. Many of them have conflicts due to personal interest issues.

These people don't have the same traits as other office workers, they're like crazy dogs.

"How long do you think the Chinese can last?"

Mary said directly: "The Chinese are too tough. If he didn't know how to lower their heads, he would probably be pushed by both groups simultaneously."

Ivan nodded; "There is no such possibility."

Braden also nodded and said: "I'm starting to sympathize with Zhang."

The three of them had the same attitude. At this moment, a weak voice sounded.

"I feel that Mr. Director might be able to suppress them."

The three of them were surprised, then looked around and looked around.

They looked at Neumann, stuck out his tongue and said: "This is just my feeling. Compared to the Scherf brothers and Wagner, the director scares me even more!"

Clearly in the mind of this little white rabbit, Zhang Xian, who proposed the PHK and the salary cut on the first day, was a 'demon'.

Neumann's words really made everyone bow their heads and ponder.

Could it really be suppressed?

But after a while, they started laughing at themselves again.

How can!

What would he use against these people!

While thinking about these questions, Mary suddenly saw a young man walking in the cafeteria and exclaiming:

"The bastard's director is here!"

Everyone's hearts were pounding, and they turned their heads and looked up.

With his loose suit, Zhang walked up to the booking desk and asked for a hot dog and coffee, then he began to look around.

Seeing this, the movements of Mary and the others immediately tidied up their uniforms.

Then turn around, bow your head, and eat the rice!

Faces full of fear.

Everyone said in their hearts:

Don't look at me!

Don't look at me!

Don't look at me!

Sreeet!

A voice pulled on the chair, and then there was a terrifying whisper heard.

"Good morning!"

Everyone: "."

The breakfast seemed harmonious and calm.

There was no communication, no gossip, everyone lowered their heads and ate quickly.

This made Zhang Xian sigh at the strict concept of time in Germany.

After eating, everyone left one after another and officially started working at nine in the morning.

And Zhang Xian walked into the office at exactly nine. As he sat down at the table and lowered his head, he saw two invitation cards placed on the table.

Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the invitation card simply.

Erich Scheffer's.

The other is Bezel Wagner.

The corner of Zhang Xian's mouth slightly curved, and he smiled lightly; ". Pull over!"
