Seeing Legras’s efforts to defend his former remarks by racking their brains, Zhuang Ge despised each other in his heart, and his evaluation of this person could not help but be lowered a few minutes. Although he said that just now, actually Zhuang Ge knew clearly the reason why the other party would say thatit must be that the goods were too busy with antonioni and they put on airs and didn’t notice Florence’s request.
Yeah, since the French Football Association has chosen to look at people’s dishes and hold such a perfunctory attitude towards this negotiation, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Legras’s previous words and deeds made Zhuang Ge deeply realize that the French Football Association is not testing the bottom line of Florence through wild speculations as he and antonioni imagined before, but there is no intention to negotiate well. They still have the official background of the Football Association, and they don’t need to compromise the club.
Let’s put it this way, Mr. Legras, after making up his mind, Zhuang Ge cleared his throat and interrupted Legras, who was still talking there. Although there is no precedent in this respect, it doesn’t mean that we can’t negotiate on this issue. After all, there must be a first time for everything, otherwise football, the world’s first sport, will not appear in this world. What’s more, Makelele is an employee of our Florence club, but when he plays for the national team, he is also paid by us. Don’t you think this rule is a bit out of order?
Well, if you talk like this, there is still some truth in your opinion. Legras knows that if you look at this matter from the perspective of Zhuang Ge, there is indeed some truth in his own side. It’s like company B seconding an employee from company A to do things, but company A has to pay everything and company A can’t even get a little benefiteven if it is sent by labor, I’m afraid it’s not so much.
Do I think the French national team should make some financial compensation to Florence when it calls Makelele in the future? At this time, Zhuang Ge finally expressed his real intention. For example, Makelele played in China, so should we pay the salary during the injury period in Florence or your French Football Association?
Chairman Corleone, I really agree with you on this point. When I heard Zhuang Ge say this, Legras Ai immediately sounded the alarm and was in charge of financial work. He was very clear about this matter. After all, although Florence can be regarded as a company engaged in the football industry from the legal point of view, the French national team is not a profitmaking company, but a nonprofit organization. There is a qualitative difference between them. I really accept your view.
So what makes you dare to force our employees to volunteer? Just because of FIFA regulations? Zhuang Ge relentlessly asked this time that he was going to kill the French Football Association for daring to put on airs in front of himself and Florence. Mr. Legras, don’t forget that FIFA is a civil organization after all, and the result is obvious when its regulations conflict with laws.
LegrasEmmanuel can certainly hear Zhuang Ge’s threat. If the French Football Association doesn’t make concessions in this respect, Florence will take this matter to the European Court of Justice for a ruling, which is exactly the last thing he wants to see, because from a legal point of view, the FIFA rule is really not very legal.
If a player refuses to play for the national team, he can be condemned from the aspects of morality and professionalism at most, but he can be punished from the legal point of view, or their decision is within the scope of legal permissionthe player has not signed a legally binding contract with the national team, and if he is dissatisfied with the treatment or doesn’t want to work, he can naturally choose to quit. Why is he banned by FIFA?
The most typical example is the American men’s basketball team. Although many bigname stars refuse to join the dream team for various reasons every time, the American Basketball Association can complain verbally that it is impossible to impose a ban on these players. It is precisely because of this that it is untenable from the legal point of view in the first place.
Legras Emmanuel knows that after Zhuang Ge made this statement, he will definitely be here today to reach a consensus on this issue on behalf of the French Football Association and Florence. Otherwise, maybe Florence will trigger a super earthquake in international football as good as the Bosman Act.
Chapter 137 Negotiations (4)
But Chairman Corleone, our French Football Association is not as rich as Florence’s, and we can pay the players the same salary as when we were at the club! In the face of putting on an aggressive posture, Zhuang Ge knew that the other side was competing with Legras. Ai Hao chose to pretend to be poor and squeezed out a sad expression. You should know in your heart that once we are in Makelele, other teams will definitely negotiate with us. At that time, our French Football Association will have to lose money and go bankrupt.
Ha ha, Mr. Legras, I can’t help you with this. Zhuang Gegen was not moved by Legras’s words and said bluntly, Our attitude in Florence is very correct in Makelele. If you can’t give us a reasonable explanation today, then we will meet in Luxemburg (the seat of the European Court of Justice).
Don’t! Chairman Corleone has something to say. There is no need to bother the judiciary to intervene. Seeing that Zhuang Ge took out the big stick of law, Legras Aide gave up continuing to resist and planned to find other solutions. How about this? I’ll ask Chairman Escalet first, and then we’ll discuss it. What do you think of Chairman Corleone?
Zhuang Ge immediately nodded in agreement with Legras’s request, and he also knew that although Legras’s name was the representative of the French Football Association in this negotiation, when the negotiation reached this height, some things were not easily decided by him, and he had to ask his immediate manager, jean pierre Escalet, the current president of the French Football Association. But Mr. Legras, I hope you’d better pay attention to the fact that when communicating with Mr. Escalet, after all, it is very precious for us busy people, and I have no patience in this matter.
It’s natural to hear Zhuang Ge’s words, Legras nodded and said yes, and then left the meeting room in a hurry to discuss countermeasures with Escalet.
An hour later, when the negotiations resumed, the person sitting opposite Zhuang Ge had changed from Legras to Escaletobviously, Rao has always been arrogant about this important negotiation, and the French Football Association had to bow to Zhuang Ge, the big boss.
Finally, after three days of negotiations, Zhuang Ge and Escalet finally reached an agreement on the compensation for the French national team’s recruitment of Claude Makelele, and formed a facetoface agreement, which was signed and signed by representatives of both sides, which was a satisfactory solution.
There are two main aspects in this agreement. One is that the French national team asked Makelele to give corresponding financial subsidies, with a specific amount of 5% of Makelele’s salary in Florence; The other is that if Makelele is unfortunately injured while playing for the French national team, the salary Claude Makelele needs to receive during the injury period will be paid by the French Football Association!
However, these payments will not be paid directly to Makelele by the French Football Association, but will be paid to the bank account of Florence Club first, and then to Makelele by Florence. After all, it is Florence Club, not the French Football Association, that signed the work contract with Makelele. Therefore, when paying the salary and compensation, Florence will naturally be responsible for distributing Zhuangge, but we don’t want any minor omissions in the overall situation. Naturally, great efforts have been made to avoid unnecessary conflicts with relevant laws and regulations.
In addition, Escalet strongly demands that there is an additional clause in this agreement, that is, if Florence wants to renew Makelele’s contract during the period when the French Football Association pays Makelele’s salary, the French Football Association will not pay the extra amount, which means that no matter how Florence and Makelele renew their contracts, they will pay compensation according to the contract at the time of injury, and the new contract will not change.
There will be such an additional clause mainly because Escalet is worried that Florence will benefit Makelele from injury and sign a skyhigh contract with the players, thus killing the French Football Association. Escalet will specifically ask for such an additional clause.
And Zhuang Ge is not vague. After Escalet made an additional clause, he also added a clause to the agreement. If the French Football Association wants to recruit players like Makelele who have already announced their retirement from the national team, it needs to negotiate with the players and the club. It is a righteous name that the country will win glory or FIFA regulations force players to obey orders. At the same time, such players should be strictly controlled when they play, and they have the power to refuse a game, such as friendly matches and warmup matches!
Zhuang Ge can be said to be quite satisfied with reaching a consensus with the French Football Association on Makelele. Although from the current point of view, this agreement is only for Makelele, actually Zhuang Ge knows that if this first agreement can be successfully issued, other clubs will certainly follow suit. As a result, people have been paying attention to the compensation for injuries of international players and players in national team competitions, which will be completely solved!
At this point, the French Football Association is naturally well aware of it. However, in Zhuangge’s aggressive offensive, it is far weaker than the other side in energy and power, and the French Football Association has not continued to confront it. After all, Florence will sue the European Court of Justice, so the possibility of losing the French Football Association is very high
After the bosman incident, all football associations, including UEFA, had a psychological shadow over the court, because these football association officials are well aware that there are many practices and regulations in the football industry that are untenable from the legal point of view. After Zhuang Ge made these conditions, he knew that he would resist the most, that is, he bargained with the other side for more details, and the French Football Association could choose to promise.
Chapter 1371 Before the war
The paper agreement between Florence and the French Football Association was quickly known by the mainstream media in Europe and made headlines in major sports newspapers as soon as possible!
Appearance allowance! Injury compensation! Noninternational Alevel events can be refused to participate! When people learned from the media that these three most important conditions were written in the agreement between Florence and the French Football Association, everyone was shocked. They didn’t expect that the French Football Association, which has always been tough in Makelele, would so easily admit its cowardice and reach such an agreement with the Florence Club, which has great influence on the development of modern football!
Although from time to time, people in the football world will jump out and sell a fool, which will cause all kinds of events that make people laugh and cry or be more angry, but on the whole, there are quite a few smart people in this circle. Of course, they can see that after the agreement between Florence and the French Football Association is announced, it will trigger an equally strong earthquake in the football world!
At the same time, when they learned this news, the reactions of all parties in the European football community were different. One of the parties, the French Football Association, complained repeatedly about the birth of this agreement. After all, it was not surprising that the French Football Association was severely beaten by Florence in this negotiation in Makelele, and they knew very well that they would lose more money in the future.
However, the French Football Association is just addicted to words in front of the media. They dare not provoke Florence again. You know, Zhuang Ge’s words about letting the European Court of Justice hear this matter are still buzzing in President Escalet’s ear. They have chosen to criticize the French Football Association, but they have no courage to test the bottom line of the Florence club again.
After seeing the final match of the French Football Association, European football associations no longer hesitate or wait and see, but have taken action one after another. This agreement template has been negotiated with various clubs, and everyone is very white in their hearts. After the introduction of this agreement, the football association has completely lost its strong position in recruiting international players. There will definitely be more and more clubs calling for the signing of the same agreement with national football associations under this excuse.
It is better to comply with the situation and sign an agreement with the club as soon as possible so that these international players can play with peace of mind and affect the national team’s performance in the World Cup qualifiers. After all, the national team’s record in the World Cup qualifiers and whether it can qualify for the World Cup finals will greatly affect whether the leaders of football associations in various countries can successfully connect or further their careers.
On the other hand, clubs, especially those with many international giants, are more excited at this time. After learning this news, other members of G14 organization expressed their heartfelt thanks to Zhuang Ge for making great contributions in this process.
After all, if Zhuang Ge didn’t come forward and die with the French Football Association, I’m afraid that even if the incident in Makelele ended in the end, it wouldn’t be so beneficial to the club as it is now. Therefore, after this incident, almost all football clubs in the world are grateful to Zhuang Ge and Florence, which makes Florence often get more preferential treatment than other competitors in the future when it comes to poaching players around the world.
However, with the increasing number of clubs and football associations involved, the situation of international football has gradually become chaotic due to the substantial increase in the number of participants, and with the passage of time, this chaotic state has shown signs of getting worse, so as to avoid the negative impact on the daily operation of national football associations and clubs. At this time, the G14 organization, the leader of European clubs, decided to call on all clubs and national football associations to discuss an acceptable to all charter, so as to save everyone from fighting in vain and delay other matters when it is precious.
Therefore, G14 organized an initiative for representatives of national football associations and clubs to gather in Zurich, Switzerland to discuss a definite statute on this issue, and FIFA also sent representatives to attend the meeting, ready to report the results of the meeting to FIFA, and then revised the relevant regulations.
However, there is not much difference between the final discussion results of this conference and the signing of Florence at first, but there are other provisions in the specific compensation amount. First, when the Football Association recruits the players’ countries to participate in the competition, the compensation amount should not be less than 4% of the players’ salary income. On this basis, the two sides can discuss the specific proportion. Secondly, if a player is injured during the competition on behalf of the national team, the treatment of the player during the recovery period should also be borne by the Football Association. Finally, if the player has been recruited before, Announcing his retirement from the national team, the Football Association wants the player to return to the national team, which requires not only threeway talks between the player and the club exhibition, but also the compensation ratio should be adjusted from less than 4% to no less than 5%, and the player will be compensated for his comeback!
