In addition to seizing the time to reduce the time and time difference, Zhuang Mingge once again passed the "Boseman Act" in his memory in his mind during this time that was more like doing nothing.

The Boseman Act mainly consists of the following two articles:

First, natural human rights - after the contract of the Tongyuan Club expires, the player's status will become a free agent, and all personal rights belong to the player himself;

Second, the right to free labor - based on the natural human rights, players enjoy the right to free transfer when the contract expires and do not need to pay any transfer fee for this.

When communicating with Antonioni on the phone, Zhuang Mingge confirmed the contents of the Boseman Act, which was born six months in advance. The above contents did not change due to the "advance" of the bill.

Although Zhuang Mingge was also caught off guard by this "big event" that came early, unlike those who had no preparations for this major football event, Zhuang Mingge, as a time traveler, has an advantage that others cannot match, that is his vision.

Knowing the direction of football development in later generations, he looked at the depth of this major event that others could not reach.

What impact will the emergence of the Boseman Act have on European and even world football? When the division of football forces under the old system was in chaos under the impact of Boseman, Zhuang Mingge had already begun to rethink this question, which he had thought about countless times in his mind.

Now, this problem can be divided into two aspects. On the one hand, it is an inherent development from Zhuang Mingge's memory, and on the other hand, it is an unexpected variable caused by the early appearance of the bill.

There should not be too many changes in the impact on the memory level. For the entire football world, especially the transfer market, the emergence of the bill will make the entire market prosperous unprecedentedly. Under the new rules, teams will compete more fiercely for a player they like.

For the league and clubs, the gap between top leagues in various countries will become more and more obvious, and the gap between the rich and the poor between clubs will be further widened. The club unscrupulously introduces EU players and uses valuable foreign aid places to the blade. As a result, many wealthy clubs have become "international columns", and the "Galaxy Fleet" that was impossible in the past will also appear in international football in the near future. After the only obstacle to clubs introducing players transfers was abolished, Europe immediately fell into a crazy era!

Players' transfer fee records have been constantly broken since the Boseman bill appeared, because wealthy clubs can use their financial resources to dig up the players they want from other leagues, while small clubs that cannot resist can only obtain as much transfer fee as possible from the transaction to make up for their losses.

Before Boseman, the transfer fee record in the world football was $17.5 million set by Rentini in 1992. After Boseman's Act, the transfer fee record in the international football world was broken almost every year. In the craziest summer of 2000, the transfer fee record was broken twice in just one summer!

For players, the emergence of the Boseman Act will greatly change their previous status as "commodities", and their salary will rise to an unprecedented height in the future. Before the Boseman Act, as the top scorer in the English League, Ian Rush's weekly salary was only 5,000 pounds; and now in order to retain the team's core players, the club has to raise the players' wages, and the examples of players threatening clubs with transfers have become increasingly common in Europe. By the time Zhuang Mingge traveled, there were no less than ten people with a weekly salary of 200,000...

Finally, there are agents and brokerage companies, who will also become the new masters under the new rules and call the wind and rain in the football world, such as Mendes and Raiola later.

If there were only these memories of the "Bosman Shockwave" that came suddenly, there would be no need for Zhuang Mingge to run back to Europe in a hurry.

On the one hand, Boseman, the guy who sued his "old club", was Liege, but he hoped that the court could make the current "paid transfer system" illegal (that is, to achieve a free transfer with zero value after the contract expires), probably as he said in an interview later: "I can't realize what impact this judgment will have on European football!"

After the matter became a big deal, the European Court of Justice made additional rulings, especially the deadly clause of "releasing the restrictions on the quota of foreign aid within the EU", which was completely an additional product generated by Boseman's appeal.

According to Zhuang Mingge's original idea, even if this deadly clause is issued, its deterrent power will not affect European football for a while. Because according to the development in memory, under the stubborn resistance of UEFA, the Boseman Act will truly come into effect and will be postponed to the winter transfer period of 1996; and the first player to pass the Boseman Act will have to wait until the 1995-96 season is completely over...

In fact, Zhuang Mingge also knows that most of the impact of Boseman shock waves is lagging, and those are easy to say, but there is only one of the most direct shocks that is difficult to avoid - that is, when the new law takes effect, it will have a sudden and strong impact on the transfer market.

In my memory, some people have some psychological preparations in this regard due to force majeure such as UEFA's tenacious resistance and the delay in the opening hours of the transfer market.

Zhuang Mingge also put such psychological expectations until next year, but such a beautiful idea was completely shattered by the European Court of Justice. Since the European Court made a final judgment in July 1995 instead of December in memory, how long can UEFA, which seems to be tough, resist in this situation?

...

"Giancarlo (Antonioni), what's the situation?" As soon as Zhuang Mingge got off the plane, he rushed back to his headquarters in Florence and found Antonioni who was handling official business.

If UEFA resists, then Fiorentina can hold its back; if not, then you can take some measures in advance...

"UEFA made a public response today. They also brought FIFA and held a press conference in Bern, Switzerland, claiming that they would firmly resist the verdict of the European Court of Justice." Antonioni replied, "But in my opinion, UEFA may not be able to withstand it for a long time. After all, its identity as a civil organization cannot fight against the official EU laws."

"Haha, just like I thought, let's see when UEFA can last." Zhuang Mingge said with a smile, "When UEFA announces surrender, it is a great opportunity for us to take action in Florence!"

As Zhuang Mingge had expected, on July 14, Baron Camille Van Met, the EU's competition and strategy specialist, reiterated on behalf of the EU: "Football is an economic activity and should be subject to internal market regulations of the European Union. Only by complying with relevant EU regulations can it be regarded as a legal economic activity."

He also issued an ultimatum to UEFA, which attempts to resist to the end, requiring that "UEFA and its relevant member states must accept all judgments and rulings of the European Court of Justice in the case of Boseman within one week."

Under the dual pressure from the EU and the European Court of Justice, UEFA finally officially announced a week later, on July 21, that is, to abandon resistance and accept all the provisions of the Boseman Act.
