We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Football players with EU citizenship have the right to play in another EU country without paying any transfer fee after their contract with the club expires.

The "foreign athlete restriction" is abolished for athletes with EU citizenship playing anywhere in the EU.

This is the Bosman Act, a bill that has far-reaching implications in the football world.

In 1995, the Bosman Act officially came into effect, bringing two major changes.

One is the scouting system. In the past, teams did not pay much attention to the scouting system because there were regulations that, except for domestic athletes, club players were limited to three plus two.

This means that a club can only have five non-local players at the same time, and a maximum of three can be on the field at the same time.

This will lead to a phenomenon where football clubs will not spend money outside their own country except for their own scouting system.

There are only three foreign players available to play at the same time, and those who are introduced will definitely be successful superstars. Do these people need to be discovered by scouts?

But things are different after the Bosman Act came into effect. EU players are no longer considered foreign players, which means that young talents from the entire EU can become reserve talents for a club.

When it comes to talent, one constant is that the larger the base, the more talent there is. If Europe's top teams want to consolidate their position, they must have more talent reserves, and the scouting system must be laid out from their own country to the entire European Union.

"Establish the various echelons within Oxford United as quickly as possible, and there's no need to be afraid of having too many talented youngsters in reserve."

Oxford United's general manager Schroeder and head coach Ferguson are no strangers to the eldest princess of the Rothschild family, who comes to the Rothschild Oxford Stadium every year to watch a few games.

Although the Oxford Union was not under the name of the princess, a word from her could decide the life or death of the entire Oxford Union. The two men were well aware of this.

After the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985, the Iron Lady banned English teams from participating in European competitions for five years, and Liverpool for seven years.

During these five years, British football has declined much faster than the British Empire.

Take the current English football champion Oxford United for example. Although it has been rated as the best team in the past decade by the British media, there is a clear gap between it and European football clubs.

The reason is simple, no superstar is willing to come.

Not to mention the foreign players, even the country's stars have mostly gone to other leagues.

The reason? Of course, I can’t play in European competitions.

Don't underestimate this, it has a huge impact on a football player.

Today's media is not as developed as it will be in the future. If you want to watch games of domestic clubs in other countries, you either have to spend extra money to customize professional channels or watch live broadcasts of European competitions.

It's not just the fans, but also the head coaches of the national team and all the major clubs.

Therefore, if you want to become famous with one goal, be selected for the national team, and make more money, a big stage is a must.

But British clubs don't have such conditions at all, and no one is willing to go there.

Of course, there is a solution, which is high salary and high transfer fees.

But there is a question, which club would be the scapegoat?

Without European competitions, both commercial and competition income will be greatly reduced. Not to mention high salaries, all teams are cutting costs and reducing income.

This resulted in the fact that after the ban ended, British teams not only lagged behind those on the European continent in tactics, but also could not compare in the quality of their players.

British football was once so glorious. The 1970s and 1980s were dominated by British clubs.

But now, all British fans and media need a hero to stand up and take up the banner of British football again.

There is no English football club that does not want to do this. They do not want to be the protagonist, which means more fans, more traffic, and more profits.

The increase in revenue will instantly distance this team from other British teams and lay the foundation for a century-old powerhouse.

Luo Nianzhong paid little attention to the Oxford Union, but Luo Anran, the eldest princess of the Luo family, knew a lot about it.

So in 1993, Ferguson and Schroeder reported to the sports company that managed Oxford United and wanted to apply for a large amount of funds to keep the team competitive. After their application was rejected, Luo Anran gave them hope.

Ferguson and Schroeder's responsibility is to make Oxford United develop better and become stronger.

As for whether it is profitable? That is not something I should consider.

But the Luo family's sports management company is different. Whether it is Oxford United, Houston Rockets, Dallas Cowboys or New York Yankees, this management company manages dozens of professional teams of all sizes around the world, and profit is what they value most.

For these people, no matter how well you develop, your boss will fire you at any time if you are not profitable. Of course, they definitely hope for a win-win situation where they can make profits and develop better, and the team will be stronger.

If you can't have your cake and eat it too, then profit is the first choice, there is no other option.

So Schroeder and his partner’s applications were rejected, but Luo Anran was informed of this when he came to watch the game in 94.

For Luo Anran, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what Schroeder and Ferguson said. If they increased their investment and won the Champions League within a few years, Oxford United would have completely established itself as the number one team in England.

So Luo Anran approved a fund of 30 million pounds, but she did not have the power to do so. Schroeder was simply using excuses to get the upper hand.

The superior knew that he could reject it, but this was the eldest princess of the Luo family, the daughter that Luo Nianzhong loved the most.

This matter was reported to Luo Nianzhong, who said that An Ran could do whatever she wanted, even if it meant selling Oxford Union.

So even though Luo Anran has no management authority and does not hold any position, her words can make a difference.

Only after that did Schroeder and Ferguson realize it.

Management company? Let him play, it is more important to appease this little ancestor who loves sports.

Luo Anran's current emphasis on the scouting system is exactly what General Manager Schroeder and head coach Ferguson want.

"I have to admire Mr. Luo's foresight at the time, who spent a huge amount of money to establish a global scouting system.

However, Oxford United has had a tough time in recent years, and the number of scouts in other regions has dropped sharply, except in Western Europe."

The team is running out of money, so where is the money to support so many scouts?

However, it cannot be completely cut off, because Oxford United's scouts scattered around the world are not only for the club, but also help the Hong Kong men's football team find naturalized talented young players.

"But this is not a problem. We have personnel and channels in South America, Eastern Europe and Africa. As long as we increase investment, the entire scouting system will be established quickly."

Luo Anran glanced at the other person and asked, "I am very young?"

Seeing Schroeder's embarrassed expression, Luo Anran continued, "If you have something to say, just say it directly in the future. There's no need to beat around the bush."

He just wanted money, but it was so pretentious that Luo Anran felt uncomfortable.

"By the way, how are Ronaldo and Zidane's transfers going?"

The second major change that the Bosman Act brought to European football is the continued strength of the top clubs.

Before the Bosman Act, players had to pay a transfer fee if they wanted to transfer even if their contract expired.

In other words, the contract only pays your salary, you have been sold to the club, and the transfer fee is your indenture.

Regardless of whether you are paid or not, you have to pay the indenture price if you want to redeem yourself.

But now it’s different, I can transfer freely when the contract expires.

What has this become? Players have become a kind of property, and as their strength changes and the length of their contracts changes, the prices of players also fluctuate.

You can't be trapped for the rest of your life, so you have to maximize your profits, that is, sell to whoever pays the most.

For wealthy families, the cost of trial and error is undoubtedly higher, and they certainly have more funds at hand.

Good players play for good clubs and play more beautiful games to attract more fans and advertisers, and more money will naturally lead to more players.

"There is no problem with Zidane, he will come during the transfer period, but we haven't reached an agreement with Ronaldo yet."

"How about this, I'll meet the other party, and then you two can talk."

Luo Anran’s words stunned Schroeder. If you meet him once, do you understand the transfer process?

Don't let an unprecedentedly high salary come by then, otherwise Oxford United will be finished.

Once the salary balance is broken, will other players get a salary increase?

And you're a little young, aren't you?

Schroeder and Ferguson looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes, but it was difficult to say anything since the princess had spoken.

Fortunately, the final contract has to be signed with the club. If it doesn’t work out, I can only be the bad guy myself.
