Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 118 Goodbye Xu Bing
Shaking his head, pushing this not-so-good idea out of his mind, Pei Wei said to Nie Fei, who was a bit confused, "Do you have a yard at home? It's easy to do. On a wall according to the standard football goal Draw a frame of the size of the four dead corners, and then draw marks on the four dead corners. You will practice hundreds of them every day. You have to hit the dead corners to stop... You can do the same on the training ground. On the two upper corners of the goal, taking a penalty from outside the penalty area, the ball must pass through the tire quickly...Of course this cannot be done in a day or two, it must be practiced for a long time, you Be mentally prepared."

Nie Fei opened his mouth wide, and Pei Wei said it easily. He knows what it takes to practice hundreds of free kicks every day, especially when he has to let the football go through the middle of the tire-the middle of the tire is probably just right. It's enough for a football to go through. Does it need to be so exaggerated?

Not even Nie Fei can feel that if he can really practice to the point where he can always hit the ball from the middle of the tire, then where does his free kick go?What level must that be?

"Okay, boss, I will definitely practice like this. From today on, I will practice 150 free kicks every day!" Nie Fei said confidently.

Pei Wei nodded in relief. He didn't know what it meant to practice more than 100 free kicks every day, while Nie Fei was a newborn calf who dared to do anything. Immediately, he hugged a football with great interest and ran to the training ground went.

Pei Wei started watching Nie Fei's training with great interest, but training is the most boring thing, not as exciting as watching the game. After watching for a while, Pei Wei lost the desire to continue watching. After saying a few unnutritive words to Nie Fei, such as "Practice hard and work hard", he left the training ground, leaving Nie Fei alone on the training ground, sweating profusely...

After spending a few days idling in Yunjia City again——Although Xu Bing has returned, he has a lot of things to do just after the Olympic team qualifier draw, and he is also responsible for the Olympic team. Yes, especially this time I am in a team with my old enemy South Korea, and the responsibility is even greater. Naturally, I have to go to the Olympic team that is training in Haigeng to boost morale.

It was not until Pei Wei got the news that Xu Bing had returned to BJ, and Pei Wei, who was impatient with waiting, immediately asked Xiao Zhao to book a ticket to BJ, and flew to the capital again.

"Old Xu, how is your health recently?" After finding Xu Bing's home, Pei Wei greeted Xu Bing who opened the door with a smile.

Xu Dory, who just came home yesterday, had just rested for a day, when he received a call from Pei Wei: "You are well-informed, why, what can I do for you? Are your hands itchy and want to kill two games?"

"You can play chess at any time. I came to see you today for something else." Pei Wei nodded: "Is it convenient to be at your house?"

Xu Bian looked at Pei Wei in surprise. It turned out that he thought that Pei Wei came to play chess with him, but he didn't expect Pei Wei to have such a serious expression, which made Xu Bing involuntarily serious, "Well "It's okay, my wife took my son away to relatives, and there is no one at home... let's go, go to my study to talk."

**************************************
"These tapes...someone came to your door and you secretly recorded them?" After listening to these tapes, Xu Bing closed his eyes and thought for a long time before lighting a cigarette and asking.

"Yes." Pei Wei nodded: "The first box was on October [-] last year, when we played against the Guangzhou team at home, someone suddenly said they wanted to find me. I wasn't sure what it was, so I made preparations in advance... …The rest was the last round against Shenzhen, and several groups of people came in a row, but I sent them away. Of course, I also made preparations in advance.”

"Then what do you want?" Xu Bing opened his eyes and took a few puffs of cigarettes: "Although there is a middleman contacting you, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have not gained any actual benefits...they are still in A and B, Just relying on these few tapes, they can deny it at all."

"No." Pei Wei smiled and shook his head: "I don't have any opinion on these two clubs, after all, they have been fighting for a year, and it's a pity that they fell short at the last minute...whatever they do can be forgiven. But these middlemen...their existence is totally a disservice to the league."

"Is it so serious?" Xu Bing asked slightly surprised, "They're just playing a role in the middle... Just like now, as long as you don't agree, they will lose any ability."

"But what if I agree?" Pei Wei asked back: "You heard it just now. The reward they promised is very generous. If I didn't care about the money, maybe I would really agree. And as far as I know, After they were rejected by me, they still wanted to find my players to let them play in the game... If it wasn’t for my main players, Yunjia’s second team transferred up, or foreign aid, or they didn’t have their own agent, they couldn’t do anything. If so, then even if I don’t agree, it’s impossible to guard against.”

Xu Bing was still thinking about it, but Pei Wei went on to say: "They didn't succeed this time because of the particularity of my club—my club has only been established for two years, and the composition of personnel is relatively simple. The teams are not inextricably linked, but if they were replaced by other clubs, the power of these people is quite huge, and if things go on like this, our league will surely lose its fairness and impartiality slowly.”

"Are you exaggerating a little?" Xu Bing frowned and asked in confusion.

Pei Wei smiled wryly in his heart. He said it lightly in connection with the various situations of the Chinese League in later generations, but who can have such foresight now?

He organized his words in his mind: "Old Xu, I came to you today to discuss with you as a friend, not as the chairman of the club... Even if there is something wrong with what I said, Please forgive me too."

Xu Bing nodded: "No problem, as long as your words are not selfish, I will definitely listen to them."

"Okay." Pei Wei stubbed out his cigarette: "If I were the owner of one club and you were the owner of another club, my club's situation was very bad. If I didn't win the last round of the league, I would be relegated, and you The club is in the mid-range, so it won’t be a problem if you lose this game... Now a middleman came to me and said that he could contact me and offer some benefits so that you lose to us, so that we can go smoothly If the relegation is successful, your club will get an extra income... If you were me, would you agree?"

Xu Bing took a long breath and smiled wryly: "To be honest?"

Pei Wei blinked and nodded affirmatively: "To be honest."

"I will be very tempted." Xu Bing lit another cigarette: "I know the huge difference between A and B... If I had a choice, I would rather pay 100 million to get the qualification to keep A... That's it I can only talk to you in private... You don't have a tape recorder on you, do you?"

Pei Wei laughed and unbuttoned his coat: "Look, I'm not an agent, even if I record your words, it's useless... After all, I'm just a club owner."

Xu Bing also laughed: "As the chairman of the Football Association, I absolutely cannot let this kind of thing happen, but... when the water is clear, there will be no fish. If I were in the role of a club owner, it would be difficult for me to resist this. kind of tempting."

"Very good." Pei Wei said quickly: "Now you go back to the role I set for you at the beginning, that is, the club owner in the mid-range. When you know that your team only needs to lose this game, You can get a lot of money, and it has no effect on your team's position. After all, there is no difference between second and tenth. Neither can win the championship or be relegated-you will agree with the other party Is this a request?"

"Multiple friends are better than many enemies, I think I should agree." Xu Bing sighed.

"Yeah, it seems that both parties get what they want, and the middleman can also get a lot of benefits-but what are the consequences of doing this?" Pei Wei raised his voice: "First of all, it's the best way to do this. The direct victims are other clubs facing relegation. Their efforts for a year may be in vain because of an intermediary. Secondly, the second victim is the fans. They come to watch the game live and support the team they support. Cheering and cheering... But they don't know that the result presented to them has been negotiated long ago... After they know this situation, will they still be interested in spending money to watch a game that has been destined for a long time? "

Xu Bing fell silent.

"Moreover, even if these two teams benefit temporarily, they will still be affected in the future." Pei Wei went on to say: "The club that spent money to buy the ball has benefited temporarily, but they owe another club a favor." Well, after the two clubs have this relationship, there will inevitably be intersections in various aspects in the future, which will form the so-called 'cliques', giving each other points, helping each other to block opponents... It's okay to say that, Other clubs won't be fools, right? They will naturally follow suit and form other factions again. After the faction with the greatest power and energy wins the final victory, the entire league will become the plaything of this faction... At that time Is the league still necessary for its existence?"

Hearing this, Xu Bing lay powerlessly on the sofa.
