1.5.b. Comments.
Generally, the players of a little everywhere engage in an
international mobility towards the European clubs where football is a
profitable occupation. Blow, instead of waiting until they are always
requested, these clubs take more and more, themselves, the front while taking
care to engage the most the better possible ones. Several reasons can explain
this state of affair.
1.5.b.1°. Clubs with the research of the raw
materials to increase their profits and their success.
To justify the multinationalisation of the economy, the
editions Robert Laffont-Gramont (1975, p. 62), explain why it is the research
of the profit which is the cause. They admit in addition that the most
fundamental law which governs the movement of the industrial capital,
commercial or banking is that of profit. However, the funded capital directly
in the production, in the form of factories, of machines, raw materials or
wages, is obviously with the source of all the profits, insofar as the quantity
of human work contained in the goods determines its price, and where this price
is higher than the amount of money spent by the contractor to produce these
goods. But, to produce this profit, the contractor must sell his goods, i.e. to
transform them into money. Is it correct to compare the purchase, the
production and the transformation of the goods by multinational corporations
beyond their borders with the operations of purchase and sale, apart from their
borders, by clubs of football, players who, a priori, are not goods ?
There a question of ethics is put, but which establishes simply an analogy
extremely worn by the new actors of internationalization in the sporting
sector.
However, it sied to mention it, at present, the player is
compared to goods. It is thus regarded as a factor of production of which the
marginal utility increases day at the day. In right however, a strong
controversy could one day burst about the exact nature of the man-player in the
contract of transfer. But, the organization of football, being based on the
specificity of this one, had to conceive similar situation which it is not any
more question of giving up, but well rather to perfect.
Much more, we said, the conquest of success does not miss in
the multiple international transfers of the players, by the European teams of
football. Indeed, the national and international competitions put at the
catches several clubs which run, each one, after the title concerned. When one
can hold up his many titles, medals and cut, certainly, the fame of this kind
attracts respect and regards. The European clubs, know thus, that the
acquisition or the conservation of the trophies is a high level test which
leaves in the passing sacrifices and expenditure that only the choice of good
players could quickly make forget.
From there, nothing any more would especially astonish the
race that launch out these European clubs of football to treat to players
abroad, because of the fact that there, they cost less expensive, but once
acquired, they would record the level of the team and, who more is, could be
resold at ransom prices. The example of success of the clubs which align good
players, bought often abroad, makes that it is rare to see a European national
championship folded up on only Europeans. Each year, the springtides always
start on information, remainder, confirmed, relating to new come.
However, the amounts of their purchase appear only when they
seem to be exaggerated or make depend annual success awaited on the team of its
recruits. In this context, the new players become object, then of attention
overall, and the spectators, always demanding, and of the sponsors, avid of
expansion of their good image and undoubtedly of the club itself. The example
of the Belgian championship that we give hereafter corroborates the assertions
thus emitted.

As one can note it, more half of the players
evolving/moving in the Belgian championship of the first division makes up of
nationals of the foreign countries distributed as follows :
2/3 Europe but especially of Eastern Europe (Croatia,
Yugoslavia, Romania, Albania, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, etc), while the 1/3
comes from Africa. Such is not however the situation in France, where, the
proportion of the African players evolving/moving in the first division is
rather high. The configuration of the national team of France of football is,
certainly, the dedication of African migratory flow and there, the contribution
of the international mobility of the players was not negative with football.
