Although Mantovani's words were very provocative, he was indeed not wrong. If the number of first-team players was really limited to twenty, the top seven teams in the league last season would not have to consider the European performance this season, because their main combat power has been exhausted in the league.

It is precisely because of the above consideration that Old Pozzo's proposal was strongly opposed by these team bosses and managers. Even AC Milan manager Galliani, who has no European war mission this season, joined the opposition - because he knew that it was only a matter of time before AC Milan, one of the top three in the North, returned to the European war, and helping these people at this time is equivalent to helping themselves.

So, Pozzo's proposal was naturally rejected and the discussion began again...

After more than two hours, the door of the conference room slowly opened, and a group of Serie A team bosses and managers left the room with exhaustion, but their faces were more or less satisfied.

"Grandpa Jiani, thank you for your help." After the meeting, Zhuang Mingge thanked Old Agnelli in the empty conference room, "If you didn't take action in person this time, the reform plan I proposed this time may not be fully accepted by everyone."

"Haha, boy Antonio, what are you talking about!" Hearing Zhuang Mingge's thanks, Old Agnelli laughed, "I didn't come here to help you. If the plan you proposed at this meeting was of no value at all, I will definitely lose you."

During the just-concluded professional league meeting, after a long period of discussion, the eighteen clubs participating in the Serie A this season finally reached an agreement on the issue of league reform. At the Football Association meeting four days later, eight teams qualified to attend the meeting will formally submit the draft reform to the Italian Football Association on behalf of all Serie A teams, requiring the other party to carry out a thorough reform of the Serie A league in accordance with the plan.

The content of the draft can be summarized as follows:

1. Starting this summer, the existing non-European and foreign aid introduction system in the Serie A League will be abolished and the number of non-European players in each Serie A team shall not exceed five. The violators are subject to serious circumstances and will be punished with deduction of one to ten league points.

2. Starting from this season, the first teams of Serie A clubs must have more than a specified number of local players and youth training players, and this lower limit will increase year by year until the indicator of eight local players and four youth training players is reached. Teams that do not meet the regulations will be forced to reduce the upper limit of non-European and foreign players, and each missing person will be deducted one place.

3. It is stipulated that the upper limit of the number of first-team players in each Serie A club shall not exceed 25 people. Each team must report the 25-man roster of this season to the Football Association before the start of the Serie A. Players outside the list will not be eligible to participate in the new Serie A season, and violators will be punished with penalties.

4. Starting from next season, each Serie A club must have a youth training academies that meet the standards, and the construction of youth training supporting facilities must be standardized: each Serie A youth team must have three professional training venues, three youth training coaches, goalkeeper coaches, team doctors and medical rooms, etc. These basic configurations must be complete. If any club does not comply with the above regulations, it will be disqualified from participating in the Serie A League.

5. Starting next season, the professional league will set a new standard for the stadium. All Serie A teams must meet the requirements of the standard at home, such as whether the turf, geothermal and drainage systems are complete, whether the security measures for the stadium stands are complete, etc. Moreover, this standard will be improved year by year over time, and teams that do not meet the regulations will be disqualified from participating in the Serie A League.

By the way, in order to ensure the interests of the newly promoted teams, these teams will not be immediately required to meet this standard, but will give these clubs a year of preparation time and make hard requirements in the second season after they are successfully upgraded.

6. Starting from this season, the bonus allocation of Serie A will be adjusted, and the target is all teams participating in the European game this season. If some of these teams compete for a better ranking in the league in order to retain their strength and get out of the European game too early, then these teams will be deprived of the bonus of Serie A, and the TV broadcast fee for next season will be deducted as a punishment.

The reason why this is added is mainly because Zhuang Mingge suddenly remembered that in his previous life, many Serie A teams deliberately let the ball out early in the European arena in order to ensure their ranking in the league, so as to retain the team's strength and strive for a good ranking in the league. Then next season, there will be another vicious cycle.

Among these teams, especially Udinese of Old Pozzo is the most important. Whenever Udinese qualifies for the Champions League next season, what he needs to do is not to find ways to introduce strong players to enhance his strength and let the team go further in the Champions League, but to sell outstanding players in the team all over the world in exchange for economic gains. The most typical example is the sale of Jankulovsky and David Pizarro in 2005, and the sale of Chilean winger Sanchez at a high price in the summer of 2011.

The result of this is that Udinese, who has made a lot of money from selling players, performed in the Champions League, and it was a complete cup of tea.

As for the League Cup, which does not have much bonus and attention, Udinese's performance is even worse. He often deliberately lets out early in the group stage, and then concentrates on strategizing the league.

The reason why the Serie A League was surpassed by the Bundesliga, which was behind it in history, is that these Serie A teams led by Udinese have made indelible contributions in this process.

It is precisely because of their performance of cheating teammates that the European points in the Serie A are decreasing and they are eventually surpassed by the Bundesliga, which focuses on team-building and winning points in the League Cup.

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation again and leave a threat to these uneasy teams, Zhuang Mingge spent a lot of effort to convince others and added this one to the reform plan.

As for how to determine whether these teams are deliberately retaining their strength... This issue must be discussed by all representatives at the professional league meeting after the end of the season, and the results of the discussion will determine the final benefits of these teams.

Of course, if someone is so stupid that he sent a full substitute + bench lineup to play in European games and was eliminated, it should be something that everyone can see?

In addition, the leaders of the Serie A clubs have reached another consensus, that is, the youth training of Italian football cannot be promoted by them alone, and the Italian Football Association, as the manager of Italian football affairs, should also assume corresponding responsibilities.

How can it be considered as taking responsibility? Of course, it is required that the Italian Football Association invest a lot of financial, manpower and material resources in the youth training construction of its own football every year...

How could the cunning team leaders let the officials and men of the Football Association enjoy their success?
