Author: Ant who watches football ruthlessly

Before the first game of the new season in August and June, York City first attracted the attention of English football and the media because of one incident.

According to the rules, before the start of the season, the club is required to provide the English Football Association with the player registration list for the new season.

York City also registered players in accordance with the rules, but to everyone's surprise, the list provided by York City actually included more than ten non-domestic players.

England is already considered a bit special. Among the British Isles, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, including Irish players, are all considered domestic players, but York City has hired more than a dozen non-domestic players.

.

That's actually rare among English League One teams.

Because in low-level leagues, domestic players are often the main players.

This is not caused by the so-called "hukou book" restriction.

The registration rules for League One are very simple, as long as there are six players on the list who have been trained by the youth training camps of English clubs.

And York City has just six of them, young people like Baker and Rice who can play the main team, and they don't even have serious English household registration records, let alone many of them playing in the English second division during the season.

The main force is originally a person with the old British flag.

The fact is that the household registration system has more impact on those top league clubs that can participate in European competitions.

They often have a huge number of foreign players, and sometimes they can't even meet the request of four youth trainees from their own team + four from their own country's youth trainees.

However, low-level clubs want to hire locals, and they want to be free from the constraints of scouting funds, players' wishes and other factors.

After all, if the money earned is not much different, who would want to travel so far to play football in a foreign country?

The scope of the scout search for low-level clubs cannot be too large. After all, the larger the scope, the higher the cost, which small clubs cannot afford.

In addition to those, there is another reason why there is no labor certification system.

You must have a labor certificate to work in the professional leagues in England!

That also makes many players from non-EU countries stay away from England.

Well, most of Pan Yi's "foreign" players are from the European Union, such as Sweden, the Netherlands, and Germany.

At this time, the UK is not an EU country, so players holding EU passports do not need to apply for a labor permit to play football in the UK.

And whether Lin Liangming is in the youth training camp of a big club like Real Madrid, Amon has already played in the Norwegian Super League for half a season, and Alphonso Davies is in Canada, which is a Commonwealth country, and has already played in the American League.

Therefore, after passing the application, I successfully obtained the labor certificate.

The most troublesome thing is the Japanese player Takeyo Tomiyasu. He has only played in the Japanese league. He has no European residence history or competition experience, and he has no record of playing in the national team.

At that time, will it be time for Pan Yi to "brush his face"?

He used the "Special Genius Clause"!

So what is it?

The special genius clause applies to clauses established for those who are unable to obtain English League labor certificates (non-EU players have a national team appearance rate of more than 75% and the national team ranking exceeds 75th for two years). This clause is intended to provide Premier League clubs and European

It is convenient for mainland clubs to compete for those non-EU talented players.

Otherwise, when I am interested in a non-EU player, but he has rarely played for the national team, or the number of appearances does not meet the standard, then I can use that right to apply for a labor certificate for him.

It is also necessary to prepare its materials and provide a favorable witness, and then hold a hearing.

The club applies to the Department of Labor to hold a hearing. The Department of Labor will select a 6-member jury for different labor certificate application cases. After listening to the club's statement, it will decide whether to issue a labor certificate.

A club has one quota per year, and Pan Yi refused to give that quota to Fuan Jianyang.

The fact is that the "special talent clause" often requires young players to prove their ability in the European leagues, but these things are not flexible.

In other words, if there is some subjective factor, if the review board feels that the player can "make a special contribution to the development of the British league", then they will vote to let him get a labor certificate.

Of course, since the manual review process lacks written basis, it is often criticized by public opinion due to excessive subjective factors, but now it happens to be used by Pan Yi, right?

For example, William originally wanted to move to Chelsea, but he had only represented the Brazilian national team in two A-level events. Yuanji could not meet the requirement of 75% of representing Brazil in the past two years.

However, Chelsea filed a lawsuit after William's application for a labor certificate was rejected, saying that the Brazilian national team is strong and full of talents. If William does not represent Brazil, he will definitely become the main player of the national team.

Later, the Ministry of Labor recognized the above statement and believed that William met the conditions to contribute to the development of the Premier League, so William was issued a labor certificate.

In fact, when English teams recruit players from the Americas, they often go through that method, and some of them are even international players.

Fuan Jianyang's conditions are certainly much worse than William's, but the national team's world ranking is not low this month. In addition, he has indeed played in the J1 league and will not be 17 years old next year. Is there anything to say?

.

Pan Yi is eloquent, and the jury in the East all admire Pan Yi and believe in Pan Yi's vision. How about:

"They agreed that a world-class coach who has cultivated countless outstanding young players will not bring a mediocre player from Japan to England for no reason. Therefore, they believe that Fuyasu Kenyo meets the special talent clause.

Please!”

Then, the vote passes.

All the players Pan Yi recruited some time ago were successfully registered!

And York City also has a truly international team, covering Europe, America, Asia, and Africa...

That's really different.

By way of comparison, Sheffield United, the favorite to compete in the English Championship this season, has all their players from the British Isles.

Of course, York City’s registration list is unique because of its nationality.

Their players are either veterans over thirty years old or children under the age of 20, with almost no one around 25 years old in between...

This also made countless media, fans, especially other teams in the English League One, talk about the newly promoted team and become curious.

"Isn't Pan Yi's lineup of using the old to lead the new a bit too extreme?"

"It can be seen that Pan Yi, as the owner of York City, wants to train young players to generate income. But will this ensure the team's performance?"

"Perhaps as a newly promoted team, Pan Yi was not prepared to let York City compete for the English Championship. That is also very reasonable. Is it right to settle in English League One?"

"That's too irresponsible. Once you become your own boss, you just want to make money. That's how Scaloni feels..."

——

"Hahaha! God helps him." Charlton head coach Carl Robinson chanted while holding the head of his legs.

York City made a mistake in the first round of the 2016-2017 League One season, against Charlton!

Charlton can be said to be a veteran English team. Since being relegated from the Premier League in the 2006-2007 season, they have been in the "post-Zheng Zhi era" and have been unable to return to the Premier League.

During this period they were even relegated to League One several times, but worked hard to get promoted back to the Championship.

But in the following season, they ranked 22nd in the English Championship and were relegated to League One again with third-to-last results.

Damn, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

A team that is relegated from the English Championship misses a team that has just been promoted from League Two. Isn't that a downgrade attack?

Carl Robinson has been paying attention to York City's signing situation for a long time. When he heard that Pan Yi had brought in several Swedish international players, he was a little worried even though he was young and old.

After all, everyone knows how demanding the opening stages of the league are!

If you win, Coco will boost the team's morale and make great progress;

If the team loses, it will cause doubts about the team's signings and training in the summer, and the morale will drop, which will then create a vicious cycle of losing games one after another.

Therefore, Charlton's first mistake in the league is particularly important.

But later, Carl Robinson heard that Pan Yi was staring at those players that no one cared about and masturbated, and he felt a little relieved.

After all, if you are promoted, your funds will be limited.

What about the winger of the Dragon Kingdom, the forward of Cameroon, the full-back of Canada, the defender of Yueben...

What are those?

And each one is younger than the other, with few even over 18 years old!

"When Pan Yi becomes the boss, does he think he is playing a football manager game?" Carl Robinson said with a smile to his assistant coach Richard Buck, "Just buy kids to level up? Then look for opportunities to sell them later.

go?"

Richard Buck also laughed and said: "Obviously, he has been coaching at a wealthy club for a long time and does not understand the cruel competition in leagues like English League One and the English Championship. Is it time for them to let him see the real world."

"Are you really stupid?" Carl Robinson sneered and shook his head, "As a newly promoted team, Qi wants to have the awareness of a newly promoted team. Who knows what that person is thinking, he actually replaced so many experienced main players and brought in

Those little brats."

As a coach who has worked hard in English League One and the English Championship for many years, Carl Robinson knows how difficult it is for a newly promoted team to avoid relegation in English League One.

Even a team like Charlton who had just arrived from the Championship East would not dare to take it lightly.

Did he adopt a very safe transfer strategy that summer? He retained most of the team's main players, which also gave Charlton a strong strength in English League One.

And most of his main players are experienced players in their prime.

He firmly believes that if you want to make a name for yourself in a low-level league like English League One, you must rely on experienced veterans.

Richard Buck laughed: "I wonder if Pan Yi will fire his head coach Scaloni if ​​York City loses after a few rounds?"

Carl Robinson laughed: "Those players were not bought by Pan Yi himself. Let's see if he will take the blame for his poor head coach..."
