In Europe, Real Madrid and Bayern joined forces to contribute a famous game.

At the same time, there was also a big incident in Italy, Ansa Agency, "Milan Sports Newspaper" and other media confirmed: Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Roma four powerful coalition sent a letter to vote of no confidence in Serie A President Cassini, it can also be said that this is a kind of impeachment.

This point in time is delicate. Tomorrow, Cassini will attend an official meeting with Italian Sports Minister Abodi, at which time some regulations or bills with far-reaching implications for Serie A may be announced.

Since many of Cassini's positions were not recognized by the big four, the four teams directly took tough measures and jointly sent a letter to the Serie A league: "Cassini cannot represent our position, and his attitude is not equal to ours".

That is to say, tomorrow if the Serie A League and the Ministry of Sports speak again: "The ...... will be decided by consultation between Serie A and the clubs", the top four will stand up and say that there are only 16 teams in that "club", excluding Juventus, Milan and Roma!

This represents a serious rift within Serie A.

Why did the four giants rebel? What is the policy that makes lifelong enemies like Inter Milan and Juventus, and opponents like Inter Milan and AC Milan, who have recently been unhappy with each other because of the championship celebration, stand side by side in the same trench this time?

Ansa pointed out that this is because there are many documents approved by the Serie A league on February 14 that the big clubs do not agree with.

What documents?

According to the reports of "Milan Sports Newspaper", "La Repubblica", Sky Channel and other media: the details of this document have not yet been fully disclosed (if there is no impeachment matter, the detailed rules will be publicly released after tomorrow's meeting), and some of the contents that have been released so far have seriously hurt the interests of the giants.

First of all, it was the top four that asked Serie A to be reduced from 20 teams to 18 teams, but it was vetoed by the Serie A League, because the small teams firmly disagreed, and the Serie A League could not resolve the differences, so they could only engage in simple and crude voting, and the number of small teams was more, so the big teams lost.

Second, in the future, the income distribution of Serie A will further promote the principle of "reducing the cake of the big team and increasing the income of the small team".

Third, in the future, when Serie A conducts business negotiations, advertising endorsements, broadcast fee negotiations and other income-increasing behaviors, the big teams are not allowed to play alone with the small teams, but they are not willing to give the big teams a little more points.

In addition to the above three points, there are many other things that have not yet been announced, which also seriously hurt the interests of the big teams. In short, dissatisfaction with the game of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" is the reason why the three northern powers and Rome jointly sent a letter of impeachment and rebellion.

Napoli and Lazio did not join them, and the popular saying is: because Lotito, a politician, is the biggest political beneficiary of "robbing the rich and helping the poor", De Laurentiis was "recruited" by Lotito.

Ansa News points out that there are serious divisions and irreconcilable contradictions within the Serie A alliance, which leads to the fact that the northern three and Roma can only express their dissatisfaction in this way.

What is the source of the contradiction? In fact, the so-called "voting system" is a poison for Serie A, which is currently riddled with serious illnesses.

Commentator Altobech made an analogy: a man in ancient Greece was seriously ill and urgently needed treatment, otherwise his life was in danger. Who will you go to? He was supposed to find the most skilled doctor in the village, but he chose to get all the people in the village together and vote on who would be treated. In the end, a person who can give speeches and put on a show was selected to be in charge, but this person did not know anything about medical skills, and as a result, the disease became more and more serious, and finally he died.

The current Serie A is also suffering from a serious illness, which is the situation, shouting "voting is the most democratic", but step by step towards the abyss.

For example: after the expansion of the Champions League and the Club World Cup, Marotta and others promoted changes, hoping that Serie A would learn from the Bundesliga and French Ligue 1 and reduce it to 18 teams, which could eliminate those bad teams that were not worthy of the top league, significantly improve the enjoyment of Serie A, and also help Serie A teams play well in Europe and brush up on Serie A's prestige in Europe.

The results of the Bundesliga's downsizing prove that this can increase the league's broadcast fees.

But the small teams in Serie A don't do it! 20 teams played, 3 relegation places, and 18 teams played, 3 relegation places, naturally increased the pressure on the team. As for the Serie A team playing well in Europe to gain prestige? What to do with the small team!

So the vote is decided, the small team is more, and the big team loses.

Another example is the issue of advertising endorsements.

Clear-eyed people know that advertisers investing in Serie A mainly look at Juventus, Milan, Inter, Roma and other teams with a large fan base and high international reputation, which has an advertising effect, and will never come to those small teams that cannot be named. In that case, the big teams deserve a little more points. But now the small team is resolutely opposed, not only not allowing the big team to break away from the collective and talk about advertising on their own, but also emphasizing "equal distribution and equal benefits". After the two sides quarreled, the Serie A league stood up again and said: Then let's vote, this is the most democratic...... So the big team lost again.

Is this fair? Is it in line with the principle of more work? Obvious.

In short, the impeachment of the Serie A coalition by the top four at the helm proves that there is a huge problem with the current voting system in Serie A, which is the root cause of how little effective reform has been promoted in Serie A over the years.

Let's see how this matter will ferment in the future.

Some people asked, can the Serie A teams find a decision-making mechanism that can really solve the problem in addition to the "voting system"? Personally, I am pessimistic.
