FIFA thumbs-up for 'six-plus-five' player rule
Football's world governing body today voted in favour of the 'six-plus-five rule', which would put a limit on the number of foreign players each team could field.Click here
FIFA president Sepp Blatter has said he hopes the controversial rule will be in place by the 2012/13 season.
His vision appears to be a step closer following the overwhelming backing at FIFA's annual congress in Sydney, Australia.
The rule would limit every team to only five foreign players in their starting XI.
The FIFA boss has pointed to the Premier League's dominance in this season's Champions League as as example of why his organisation must implement the idea, despite legal concerns from the European Union.
Stressing FIFA would proceed 'within the limits of the law', Blatter said this week: 'It's to make sure that there is better balance in the competitions and not only three or four teams in a league of 18 or 20 are fighting to be the champion and all the others are just there to not be relegated.
'As (Newcastle manager) Kevin Keegan recently said: 'I can only start my season to fight to be fifth or sixth or seventh. It is impossible for me to go into the final four'.
'At the end of the Champions League in Europe you have in the quarter-finals four teams of the same association; in the semi-finals three of these teams.
'Then in the final you are surprised that you have two teams of the same association?
'We want to bring some remedies and this is the six-plus-five rule's objective.'
Despite FIFA backing the plan, the European Union has already indicated it would contravene European laws.
'We are giving the red card to the 6-plus-5 rule,' Europe's commissioner for equal opportunities, Vladimir Spidla, said on Wednesday.
FIFA's controversial proposal is different from a 'home-grown players' rule proposed by UEFA, European football's governing body.
UEFA defines 'home-grown players' as team members who, regardless of age or nationality, have been trained by their club or by another club in the National Association for at least three years between the ages of 15 and 21.
The Commission has approved the UEFA arrangement because, says Brussels, it contains no player conditions based on nationality.
Spidla said: 'Compared with the intentions announced by FIFA to impose the so-called '6-plus-5 rule', which is directly discriminatory and therefore incompatible with the EU law, the 'home-grown players' rule proposed by UEFA seems to me to be proportionate and to comply with the principle of free movement of workers.'
After today's vote, Blatter told a press conference: 'Inside the congress of FIFA today we had sunshine on different items, important ones.
'Because today we were somewhere in the crossroad between the interests of clubs and national teams, and the congress of FIFA has given very clear indications of where we have to go.
'Together with the chairman of FIFA's football committee, Mr Franz Beckenbauer, and Michel Platini, we come to this resolution.
'The congress was very happy in a result of overwhelming majority, with 155 votes in favour and five against. 155 yes and five no.
'It is an overwhelming support to this resolution.
'The FIFA president has asked, together with the UEFA president, to explore - and explore is not to discuss, it's to go in depth - within the limits of the law.
'The application of such a system would start only at the end of 2010 and we would start progressively with four, five and six.
'Even if it is necessary, because we have had Manchester United winning the European Champions League with six players eligible for the Great Britain team at the beginning of the match, so we are not far away.
'Chelsea had four. Zenit St Petersburg, when they played Glasgow Rangers, they had up to seven. Glasgow had four or five.
'We are not far away from a situation.
'Speaking about it is illegal? For whom? For when? If there is a law, a law can be amended.
'I have already now a meeting with the speaker of the European parliament - chairman as we say, but you say in the British version, the speaker - on June 5 in the afternoon in Brussels, as he said, to explore now the ways.
'If he says to explore the ways, it's not to say 'stop it', so you see we're on the right track.''

[ 本帖最後由 yuan 於 2008-5-3007:00 PM 編輯 ] 新浪体育讯 北京时间5月30日下午，国际足联经过投票以155-5的压倒性优势，通过了志在限制外援的“6+5”政策。这一新政的实施，对欧洲五大联赛，尤其是对于目前欧洲第一联赛——英超联赛来说，是一个很大的冲击。
最近几个赛季，英超联赛逐渐成长为公认的世界第一联赛，这得益于大量优秀外援的涌入。C罗、托雷斯、阿德巴约、巴拉克、德罗巴、埃辛、特维斯、马斯切拉诺等球星的涌入，让英超联赛星光璀璨的同时，也使得英超联赛成为世界上竞争力最强的联赛。连续两个赛季，都有三支英超球队进入欧冠四强就是明证。本赛季，曼联和切尔西携手闯进欧冠决赛，更是直接证明了英超联赛的强势。
但是随着“6+5”政策的实行，英超联赛势必要经受到很大的冲击。每支球队每场比赛最多同时只能上5名外援，这也就意味着，将不会有太多的球队将转会费继续大幅度投入到引进外籍球员上，而英格兰本土球员也将成为转会市场上的抢手货。而且，“6+5”政策的实施，使得各队没必要再囤积大量的外援。这样，英格兰只能重视自己的青训系统，而英超联赛的竞争力和观赏性暂时也将可能会下降。
每队每场比赛最多只能上8名外援，但这8名外援中，同时在场的只能是5名。这使得四大豪门对外援的挑选上势必精益求精，他们很可能还会进一步花大价钱购买少数大牌球星；而其他中下游球队只能买一些被挑剩下的二流球星。而他们的本土球员又远不如四大豪门那般强势，从这种意义上说，普通球队与四大豪门间的实力差距不降反升。
如果单纯从凑出一个首发阵容的角度考虑，“6+5”政策对曼联和切尔西影响并不是很大，尤其是曼联。拿欧冠决赛来看，曼联的首发阵容中有布朗、费迪南德、卡里克、斯科尔斯、哈格里夫斯、鲁尼六名本土首发；而切尔西也有特里、阿科尔、兰帕德、乔科尔四名本土首发，考虑到切尔西目前阵中还有小赖特和布里奇两名本土替补，应该说，“6+5”政策对切尔西的影响也不会很大。
而利物浦和阿森纳则受到严重的影响，贝尼特斯正在推行“西班牙革命”，彭南特、克劳奇甚至正在他的出售名单上；阿森纳的情况则更严重，除了沃尔科特勉强可以打上主力，枪手阵中再无本土球员可以首发出战。霍伊特？那场他罕见首发出战的足总杯比赛中，曼联痛击枪手一个4-0！
