Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 234 One Servant Two Masters

"I hope so..." Xu Bing sighed, "I just don't know if I can see that day."

"Old Xu, what are you talking about?" Pei Wei didn't expect Xu Bing to say such dejected words suddenly, and was really surprised: "You can't think about it, there is nothing wrong with your body...as long as you usually Pay attention, with your physique, it is not a problem to live another 50 years! If you say this, I will criticize you. When those passionate youths in the May Fourth Movement were looking for a way to save the country, did they think they could see it with their own eyes? Was it that day? They just did what they should do, laying a more solid foundation for future generations... The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade. It took Europe and South America more than 100 years to develop football, and we also developed our own In 50 years, even if you can't compete with them, you can at least become a force that cannot be ignored in world football! This cannot be achieved in one or two generations, what is needed is long-term and continuous efforts, and we are Founder! Since what we are doing is so meaningful, what does it matter if we can see the results with our own eyes?"

"Well said, you! Pei Wei, don't think that you are younger than me, but you see things more clearly than me!" Xu Bing laughed: "You are right, as long as we do it with a clear conscience, then It doesn’t matter if I can see the fruits of success! I’ll be playing him for decades! At least, I’ve seen Chinese football break out of Asia, and I don’t have any regrets!”

"After talking all afternoon, I'm hungry." Pei Wei deliberately turned the topic to easy: "I want to eat your home's braised noodles, it tastes really delicious... I don't know if my sister-in-law left the braised noodles this time. ? I don’t want to eat the stew you beat!”

"You guys, you've learned to pick and choose!" Xu Bing laughed heartily: "No problem, I'll let you eat your fill today...but there's a price to pay for eating my noodles, as friends just now Now that we're done talking, let's talk business."

"What business?" Pei Wei asked suspiciously, and then understood: "Are you talking about the head coach of the national team? Just right, I already have an idea, and I still need your approval."

"What do you think?" Xu Bing asked.

"Benitez has agreed to serve as the head coach of the Chinese national team until the end of the World Cup." Pei Wei took out a piece of paper from the briefcase beside him: "He has entrusted me with carte blanche, and he asked for $[-] salary."

"No problem, there is no free lunch in the world. He has already brought the Chinese team into the World Cup for free. He must not be allowed to continue working for nothing. Then fans all over the country will call our Football Association stingy." Xu Bing laughed: "One hundred thousand The salary in US dollars is no problem, just the credit for bringing the Chinese team to the World Cup is worth it... What else can I ask for?"

"He requires the absolute right to select players and direct the game in the national team. No one can interfere with his use of troops, nor can he ask him to call in any players." Pei Wei continued.

"This..." Xu Bing thought for a while: "It can be considered, but you must be his translator, discuss with him next to him, and he will also choose the assistant coach. If you are in the national team, then I can Agree to this request." He looked at Pei Wei: "Of course, you don't get a penny of salary! Our football association is a poor unit, and we can't afford a big boss like you."

"You are so stingy... Your Football Association will take away eight of the billboard income from each club's home stadium. This is a lot of money! You are still crying poor in front of me... No, I can't do it for nothing, at least I have to be willing." Meaning, otherwise, where will I save my face? I have already worked for free once, and you still want me to do it for free? Don’t do it!” Pei Wei said dissatisfied.

"Organizing the league, arranging referee expenses, national team competition expenses...do you know how much our annual expenses are?" Xu Bing narrowed his eyes: "No way, we don't pay you extra salary, you It’s okay if you really want it, but the monthly salary can’t exceed two thousand, otherwise it’s out of the question.”

"Okay, okay, I'm joking." Pei Wei waved his hand in displeasure: "Just give me a dollar to make sense of it, and it will be a good story to spread. Even if it can't last forever, at least people will praise it for a few years. .”

"You guys are really boring." Xu Bing couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, do you have any other requests?"

"The last request... This is also what I hope. In addition to being the coach of the national team, Benitez will still be my coach of Yunjia Tianyu when there is no national team competition! This is the last request!"

"what?"

******************************************
"How can this work! What a sacred position the head coach of the national team is, how can he be a part-time job!" Cheng Shengda, the vice chairman of the Football Association, immediately expressed his disapproval after hearing Xu Bing's words: "This way, what is the prestige of our Football Association!"

Wan Junsheng also expressed his disapproval, although not as violent as Cheng Shengda, but his reasons seemed to be stronger: "Let's not talk about face for the time being... he is also the head coach of the club and the head coach of the national team. Benitez is busy. Can he come over? Also, what if he randomly uses Yunjiatianyu players in the national team? Not to mention he also demands absolute power to select players...It is inevitable that more Yunjiatianyu players will be called to serve as the national football team Pei Wei is the translator again, and it will be a big joke when the national team becomes the Yunjiatianyu team.”

"Let me say a few words." Xu Bing looked at the colleagues who were discussing a lot, and sighed in his heart: "First of all, there is no need to talk about face and the like. You know, without Benitez and Pei Wei, we We don't even have the chance to go to the World Cup... Then after the top ten last year, the prestige of our Football Association has dropped to a freezing point... Now we can have such a face and get the opportunity to become a rival to the General Administration of Sports thanks to them The two brought the national team to the World Cup. In this respect, they can be forgiven for demanding more."

Everyone present was silent. Last year's rush to the World Cup made the Football Association's influence in the General Administration of Sports unprecedentedly strong. It is said that it is possible to separate from the General Administration of Sports. In that case, all the officials of the Football Association may have to rise to a higher level. No one will be indifferent to such interests.

"Isn't that just arrogance? That's okay!" Only Cheng Shengda was still reluctant: "On the other hand, we gave them this opportunity, so they can become the key figures in the World Cup! Besides now Already in the World Cup, do we still need them?"

"It can't be said like this. There is no experience in the world where the head coach was fired after leading the team into the World Cup." Xu Bing glanced at Cheng Shengda: "Besides, it is only half a year before the World Cup. We can find Is there another coach? Can you find such a coach? Benitez may not be the best coach, but at this moment, he is the most suitable candidate for us. First, he is familiar with Chinese football. Second, He has established a reputation in the national team and there is no one better suited to lead the team."

"As for the question of whether we can come over, I don't think it's a problem." After a pause, Xu Bing continued: "When the league starts, the national team must be disbanded, and when the national team gathers, the league will also be suspended... …This is not contradictory. Besides, Benitez, as Yunjiatianyu’s coach, needs to be familiar with his opponents in addition to his own team, so that he can also inspect players. As for whether Yunjiatianyu’s The players are all recruited to the national team to make up the number... Don't forget that there is also Pei Wei. Although Benitez can pat his ass and leave, but Pei Wei still has to hang out in China. Isn't he afraid of revenge from the Football Association? There is Pei Wei Wei is by Benitez's side, and Benitez would not dare to appoint players casually, and this is also an opportunity for Benitez to become famous in the world, I don't think he will smash his own brand?"

"It's still too risky!" Wan Junsheng still disagreed.

"No way, now we can only take risks." Xu Bing took a sip of tea: "After all, we only have Benitez as a candidate now, and it must be too late to find someone else. In addition, the coach Benitez is indeed capable. , we can only put the treasure on him now." A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Bing's mouth: "Besides, we have a way out, don't we? After all, with the current strength of the national team, what kind of performance will it have in the World Cup? It is still unknown, when the time comes, Benitez will be the best scapegoat."

Most of the people have been persuaded by Xu Bing, and they all nodded, only Cheng Shengda was still a little dissatisfied: "One servant and two masters...it's really ridiculous."

"Now we are not afraid of absurdity." Xu Bing made the final conclusion: "As long as he is capable and can do a good job, let alone a girl who promises two families, I don't care even if she promises twenty!"

Even so.

Before the new year, the Chinese Football Association announced a news that it officially signed a contract with the national team executive coach Benitez. Benitez became the new head coach of the Chinese national team until the end of the World Cup in France. At the same time, he also served as the Yunjia Tianyu Club I believe that under the leadership of coach Benitez, the national team will be able to achieve good results in this summer's World Cup in France.At the same time, the national team will regroup on the second day of the Lunar New Year to participate in the Lunar New Year Cup to be held in Hong Kong on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

This fresh news made the fans talk a lot-is the coach of the national team and Yunjiatianyu club the same person?Fresh.

Regardless of whether it is fresh or not, anyway, Benitez, the double head coach, will lead the Chinese national team until the end of the World Cup in France. As for the effect, time will tell.

PS: Oh, there was a fight downstairs... I went to watch the excitement, my bad philistine mentality... Hehe, brothers, see you tomorrow. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
