Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 3 Meeting the Coach
"Boss Pei, I really did my best." Looking at the table full of good food, Director Ma's face was a bit more bitter than when he was at the Sports Committee: "There are 26 players in total, and only eight of them stayed in the local area. , are basically the former substitutes, and the others have gone to other places, and they can’t be contacted at all, and they can’t get through the phone at home... Even the eight local players haven’t played football for almost a year, no I don't know how long I can run on the field...President Pei, I really can't do anything about it, I, Ma Hui, always do my best, but now... Sigh!"

Pei Wei took a deep puff of the cigarette, he knew that Ma Hui could not be blamed, he had indeed tried his best, and this year was not like in 2006, almost everyone had a mobile phone - even very few people had a phone at home, Thinking about it, Ma Hui should have traveled a lot to get the news of everyone, but there are only eight guys who haven't played football for almost a year, and they still want to rush to the B?

"It's okay, I know you have tried your best." Pei Wei comforted Ma Hui: "Come on, let's eat the food first, waiter, serve the wine!"

After the waiter left, Pei Wei poured wine for Ma Hui himself, which made the deputy director feel embarrassed.

"Director Ma, I think you should know the purpose of my establishment of this club." Pei Wei took a sip of wine lightly: "I am not here to make money. I think you also know that if I don't transfer my shares in Tianyu Group If I don’t do anything, I still have tens of millions a year, money is nothing to me, it’s just that I’m a fan and I want to do my best for the city’s football.”

Speaking of this, he raised his voice: "Our football level in Yunjia City has always been very high. The provincial team has never lost a player from Yunjia. Although he has not played an official national team, he has participated in the national team. There are several members of the training team! Any fan in this province, who is not a big brother when you mention this? Now that football is going to be professionalized, and people all over the country are crazy about football, don’t we Yunjia fans can only look at others helplessly? Local fans all support teams, can we only envy them in our hearts?"

"Boss Pei, I know, I know everything." Maybe it was because of drinking, Ma Hui's face also started to turn red: "I, Ma Hui, am also a fan! Otherwise, I wouldn't come to the sports committee to do this shit. The deputy director of... Mr. Pei, you don't know that I was originally assigned to work in the municipal committee after graduating from university, but I took the initiative to ask to come to the sports committee and take care of football, just to get in touch with football! But this Over the past few years... I can only watch the team continue to decline because of lack of funds, and finally I was forced to disband the team! Now, there is money and funds, but no one ...He...fuck, what is this! "

"Today... those eight local players, did you tell them that I want to form a team?" Pei Wei asked as he turned the cup in his hand.

"Speaking of which, they are very happy. They said that as long as you want Mr. Pei, they will definitely come!" Ma Hui smiled: "However, Mr. Pei, you can't put too much hope on them. They used to be substitutes. It’s still solid, but its strength is definitely not as good as the previous main force.”

"That's okay, as long as I can play football now, I want it!" Pei Wei patted the table: "But I still need to find a coach...Is Coach Hua retired now? Do you think it is possible to come back again?" Invite him out of the mountain?"

"I think it's difficult." Ma Hui frowned: "Coach Hua is 67 years old. Although he is in good health, he is such an old age. It is very tiring to play professional league games. I don't know if the old man will come out of the mountain again."

"That's true. But I don't need him to do it for too long. It's enough to support him for a year or two." Pei Wei nodded: "Take me to his house tomorrow morning, and then gather the players together in the afternoon Besides, if there are not enough people, I will go to find ... In addition, I will also have a look at the second team and other players in other age groups, they will be a good backup force."

Pei Wei didn't say anything else. He wanted old coach Hua to come out of the mountain again, not just to stand up for him for a while. You must know that coach Hua is a towering tree in Yunjia football, and he is ranked high in the whole country. As for the size, with him, it will have an immeasurable effect on the popularity of the new club.

**************************************************
The conversation with coach Hua was very successful. The old coach was not very willing to leave football at first, but the current situation of the city team forced him to step down to get a salary. After a sincere conversation with Pei Wei, coach Hua Guojun agreed. In order to be the coach of the Tianyu football team, he made a request, hoping to hire two assistant coaches from his former team to the team.

Pei Wei nodded in agreement, and sneered in his heart: Nepotism has always been a feature of Chinese football. It seems that even this respected senior is not exempt, but it doesn't matter. Many famous foreign coaches have such a situation. If you go to hire an assistant coach, it will take some time to adapt, which is very detrimental to the game that is about to start.

As long as it's good for the team, Pei Wei doesn't care about it.

When Pei Wei said that he was going to meet the second-tier team and other young players of all ages in the afternoon, and that he was going to form echelon teams of all ages, this old coach who played an important role in Yunjia City's football scene was excited.

"Mr. Pei, what you said really touched my heart..." The old coach blushed with excitement: "We, Yunjia, have always had a way of training youth teams. , not even the whole country is probably among the best! From 9 years old to 19 years old, there are five echelons, all of which are perfect! Especially the second-tier team, that is, the group of boys in the 19-year-old age group, there are a few talented guys Ah! When the team was disbanded last year, I was still worried. What will these little guys do in the future? Are they going to be so deserted? To tell you the truth, I originally planned to make this request to you, and I made it To persuade you to prepare, I didn't expect your eyes to be so far away, it's rare!"

Pei Wei smiled slightly. I'm afraid Hua Guojun thought that he would only invest money in the adult team, and was not willing to spend money on training young players. Indeed, if it were someone else, he would not be interested in those half-sized players, but For a person with future vision, of course he knows how important a sufficient reserve force is to a team!
The coaching problem has been solved, but the player problem still exists. Pei Wei can only hope that he can find a few good seedlings in the second team in the afternoon. He has encountered the biggest problem in forming this club.
