The Serie A League, which was once a small World Cup, hasn t fallen?

During the Serie A seven sisters, three teams suffered bankruptcy.

Since the parent company Cirio went bankrupt in November 2002, Lazio has begun to sell all valuable stars in order to survive; Parma is Parmalat, who declared bankruptcy at the end of 2003, and then the team had to sell off many of the team's stars to make a living.

In fact, before the bankruptcy was completely declared, these two teams were already on the decline, and had sold off some of the stars in the team in advance. By the time they officially went bankrupt, they were already dying and just survived.

and Fiorentina, which was declared bankrupt in 2002, and the team completely fell into the abyss.

The reason for this has a lot to do with the club's poor management. In order to be competitive in the Serie A, these three teams are desperately buying players. The transfer fee is very high and the salary of players is also rising.

In that era, the financing environment was much worse than that now. Now the Premier League can burn a lot of money, at least there are a series of commercial cooperation promotions such as broadcasting and advertising. There are many channels for attracting money, which allows clubs to buy people when spending money frequently.

League broadcast fees and Champions League prizes are very generous, and there is no problem with the income of the wealthy families reaching more than a few hundred million yuan throughout the year.

, with the influx of major consortiums, behind which is a wealthy family backing up, which makes the Premier League teams much stronger in their ability to resist risks.

And in that era, Serie A was far from being able to reach a level of wealth. The economic environment is in a sluggish manner and financing channels are limited. If you burn money on a large scale, it will not have a realistic basis.

If a team wants to develop in a standardized manner, the best model is to live within one's means, relying on youth training, reasonable operations, and controlling salary structure to ensure that the team leader is prosperous.

Unfortunately, many Serie A teams lacked the awareness of risk prevention back then. They just wanted to burn money, and always thought that buying stars could improve the team's combat effectiveness.

Little did I know that in that era, the Champions League, the League Cup and other events were not as prosperous as they are now, and the prize money was far less than that now. I was fooling around regardless of the cost and ignored the actual environment, and in the end I could only decline.

Coincidentally, frequent incidents such as telephone doors and bribery cases have also caused Serie A to die quickly.

In 1997, a bribery case broke out in Serie A. In order to win the game, Empoli prepared to bribe the bald referee Corina. Corina was upright and did not agree, and told the referee committee that after this incident, Empoli was betrayal of his relatives and everyone knew that they had done these things, and the Football Association and other teams all had opinions about them.

In the end, the team's development became worse and worse, and eventually relegated.

Later, many problems broke out in Serie A. Before the phone door, there were also fake accounts cases between AC Milan and Inter Milan, as well as fake shots in Genoa.

Especially Genoa's counterfeit case, this incident was a big deal back then. They were in Serie B. In order to win, they deliberately bribed Venetian personnel and tried to interfere in the game.

After being discovered, Genoa was deprived of the qualification to advance to Serie A and was fined and demoted to Level C. This is also the reason why Diego Milito left Genoa and later joined Zaragoza in La Liga.

In order to allow himself to play on a high-level stage, Milito had to leave Genoa and switch to another team.

Until the telephone door broke out, the last fuse was completely ignited, completely causing Italian football to reach a low point.

In less than ten years, Serie A has fallen rapidly, which is very sad. The Italian World Cup won the 2006 World Cup, which now seems to be a return, and the last afterglow of their heyday.

Looking back on this history, you will find that the decline of a national football league is not without signs. The ice is not cold for a day, and many things have been exposed very early, but the situation was not too bad at that time and no one paid attention.

It will be too late to make up for it when the crisis really comes. He is terminally ill, and no magic pill can bring Italian football back to its prosperity.

In my opinion, the biggest problem in Serie A is that it has not done a good job of "risk assessment" and lacks a reasonable supervision mechanism to regulate the development of these clubs.

Like the Bundesliga, there is a 50+1 policy, which is quite good. It can restrain and regulate many clubs to operate well and cannot spend a lot of money to allow the team to develop rapidly.

Although this is a bit slow, due to the 50+1 policy, many Bundesliga teams cannot make the team rise rapidly through consortium introduction and financing, their basic plan is in it and will be healthier, which is relatively healthy compared to Serie A.

Serie A lacks standardization, and when it is developing well, it neglects to control risks.

This is also a lesson from the past and can provide valuable experience to the current Premier League. Seeing Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United spend huge sums of money to buy stars, everyone will also worry about whether the Premier League will decline like Serie A in the future.

But I don't think fans need to worry too much. As I have already said before, the environment is no longer the same as before. Now this era is different from that time, and the ability to raise funds and attract money is much better than before.

Make a lot of money, so naturally you don’t have to worry too much about the risk of bankruptcy when buying stars. Football clubs have already become standardized.

As for Arsenal to spend money on stars in recent years, it is also due to the healthy assets accumulated by the Wenger era. After several years of building the stadium and small capital, it was only after gradually recovering its vitality that Arteta's current heroic capital has been available.

Compared with Serie A back then, the Premier League giants are still quite stable. Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and other teams are still healthy and have not put the finances in a collapse..

If you want to recover your energy, Serie A might as well learn about the Premier League and see how they develop. Realize your own problems and correct your previous flaws, and believe that Serie A will recover in the future.
