Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 486 Another Invitation

Hao Dong's return is a major event for Chinese football.

Although Hao Dong is not regarded as the most iconic star of Chinese football in the 90s as he was in his previous life due to the continuous emergence of new players after the professional league was launched, and he was not rated as the player of the [-]th century in Chinese football, his influence is still significant. .

In the three and a half seasons of Dortmund in the Bundesliga, although Hao Dong only served as the main force for more than one season, he still scored 31 goals in the three and a half seasons. It is second only to the legendary Korean striker Cha Bum-geun in the 80s, and it must be known that in that era, the intensity of the five major European leagues was far less intense than it is today.

In terms of this number, Hao Dong is known as the number one striker in Asia in the 90s, and he deserves it.

It can also be seen from here what an excellent path Pei Wei chose for Hao Dong at that time. You must know that another Asian super striker who played for the Bundesliga at the same time as him, Iran's Ali Daei, went to the powerful Bayern Munich. , I didn't get the chance to play a few times, and naturally my performance was not as good as Hao Dong's.

Dortmund did not embarrass Yun Jiatianyu on the transfer fee. Pei Wei only paid a symbolic 50 euros to bring Hao Dong back. Of course, Hao Dong's contract has only half a year left, and Dortmund does not want to stay. Hao Dong's reasons are in it, but the biggest wish is that Dortmund's managers really don't know how to do business, otherwise they won't make Dortmund, a Bundesliga giant with a long history, reduced to the point of relegation every year in later generations. The fans can be regarded as the most loyal in the Bundesliga. Even if they are reduced to the point of relegation, their home stadium Westfalenstadion still has an average attendance rate of more than 6 people-you must know that the population of Dortmund is only more than 60!One-tenth of the population of a city are loyal fans of this club, what a concept!
With such a large and loyal fan base, Dortmund is still struggling with financial revenue every year, which shows the incompetence of Dortmund's management.

However, whether Dortmund's management is incompetent or helpless, Pei Wei doesn't care. He is not a savior. He has to take care of someone who is wronged. In this way, there are too many people to take care of, such as the Premier League Newcastle United, they also have the most loyal fans in the entire British continent, and they do not lack financial support, but they have never won the Premier League championship, which is not fair, but so what?

Pei Wei only hopes that he can do what he can to help Chinese football. As for Dortmund and Newcastle, they should wait for their own saviors.

The return of Hao Dong has also caused a lot of controversy in China. The argument of the debate is whether a Chinese overseas player like Hao Dong should be regarded as a domestic aid or a foreign aid after returning to a domestic club. He was transferred from a foreign club, so he is a foreign aid, and he is a Chinese who can't be more standard-it is really not easy to position.

However, this debate is not aimed at the Yunjiatianyu club. After all, Yunjiatianyu has only three foreign players so far. The big clubs have really started to learn to think. This kind of problem can be said to be big or small, but it still needs to be solved.

After a special meeting and discussion, the Football Association made a decision. A new clause was added to the league transfer rules, that is, no matter which team he is from, as long as he is a citizen of the People's Republic of China, he will enjoy all the rights of a Chinese citizen. , including the qualifications to participate in the league, that is to say, if there are players like Hao Dong, the transfer will not occupy the quota of foreign aid.

At the press conference, Xu Bing said: "There are no rules without any loopholes in the world, and the rules of our league are the same. With the development and progress of the times, there will always be different and various new problems. If it emerges, our judgment may be wrong, but we will learn from it and learn from it. If there is a problem, we will solve it through practice. Only in this way can our league become more mature and develop more stably."

Pei Wei, who was watching the live TV broadcast, was praising the Football Association under the leadership of Xu Bing for its timely response, correct judgment, and decisive decision-making. As soon as the press conference was over, Xu Bing called and said, "Pei Wei, You guys are causing trouble for our Football Association again!"

Pei Wei said aggrievedly: "Old Xu, how can you say that? Yes, I did do a lot of things that increased the workload of your Football Association, but don't you think that it is more important for me to do these things than to be done by other people in the future?" Is it much better to make it out of people? Let’s take the case of Hao Dong this time as an example. I added a little confusion to your Football Association, but I didn’t benefit from this matter, so your decision will only be carried out. It’s so easy. If you change to a club that already has four foreign players and has brought back an international player from overseas, will other clubs readily agree to the new regulations of the Football Association? We Chinese don’t worry about the shortage but the inequality , Now I am not benefiting, any regulations of your Football Association are easy to implement, aren’t they?”

"What you said is also reasonable...but I have no reason to let you go like this, don't you think so?" Maybe it's because he has dealt with Pei Wei too much, and Xu Bing, who is upright and clean, has also begun to change. Get treacherous.

Pei Wei smiled helplessly: "Okay then, my Chairman Xu Bing, what should I do to make up for the trouble I caused the Football Association?"

"I haven't thought of it yet, I'll talk about it later... By the way, let me tell you some good news. The Chinese Football Association has done a lot of work in FIFA recently. It is very likely that we will get a member of the FIFA executive committee before the World Cup begins." This is very beneficial to the increase of our Chinese Football Association's authority in the world and in Asia." Xu Bing said with a smile.

"Good thing." Pei Wei was overjoyed: "Having a place in FIFA will be good news for both China and East Asian teams. The balance of power between East and West Asia will be leveled again. There will be no inherent defects in the competition in Asia, although our own strength is the most important thing, but in any case, the increase of power in East Asia is also a help to ourselves."

Xu Bing smiled slightly. What Pei Wei said is correct. On the surface, an executive committee with no real power is nothing, but after China won such a seat, South Korea has a vice president in FIFA. China has an executive committee in FIFA, so that a stable power tripod can be formed. At that time, no matter how powerful West Asia is in the AFC, it will be difficult to embarrass the top three in East Asia-after all, there are people on top of them Well.

"But now there is a question... You said that this executive committee member, who in the Football Association is more suitable?" Xu Bing paused for a while, and then suddenly asked.

Pei Wei was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "This seems to be an internal matter of your Football Association. How can I be an outsider to intervene?"

"It is precisely because you are an outsider that I am asking you, because you have no direct interests in this matter, so your words are the most fair... Only three people are qualified to go in the Football Association , me, Zhang Long, and Wan Junsheng, tell me which one of us is suitable." Xu Bing asked casually with a look of indifference.

Pei Wei's train of thought was indeed taken over. I don't know why Pei Wei is always unsuspecting in front of Xu Bing. After thinking for a while, Pei Wei shook his head, although he knew that Xu Bing couldn't see through the phone: "None of them It is very suitable. Wan Junsheng is in charge of the domestic league. No one in the Football Association is more suitable than him in this regard. We must know that the league is the most important thing. We must have such a clean and kind vice chairman. Zhang Long is in charge of diplomacy. Although he is not as consistent as you are, at this stage of the development of our Chinese football, he also needs his gentle methods to deal with those people in the AFC. As for you, you are a very suitable person. Candidates, but although you have less direct presiding work now, the Football Association can't do without you as the person who presides over the overall situation. The three of you have the ability to serve as executive committee members, but you can't get away, which is a troublesome thing."

"Well, we are also wondering now." Xu Bing said with a bit of distress: "Actually, I really want to go. After all, I can't do too many things because of my health. I am on the FIFA executive committee. It's relatively easy, and I don't need to worry about too many things, and I still have some face in the AFC, which is very good for the development of work in the future, but how can I leave before I find someone to replace me What about it?"

"Can't your Football Association find talent?" Pei Wei came back to think about it, but Xu Bing still couldn't forget to bring himself to the Football Association: "Isn't it enough to find someone to take your place? Wan Junsheng can do it Focus on the position of chairman of the league side."

"Pei Wei, are you going around in circles with me again? Lao Wan has no intention of taking my place. Personally, I still prefer you. I believe that if you take my place, you won't have any selfish motives." , Lao Wan's character is a little softer, I'm afraid he can't hold down the people below, and Zhang Long and Lao Wan won't hold you back after you come, of course it's not good for you to sit in this position, but I still hope You can stand up and take on this important task." Xu Bing said with a sigh.

"But I am an outsider of the Football Association, can I be the chairman directly? You are a national institution." Pei Wei still feels that it is not realistic.

"The times are developing, and our Football Association will not remain unchanged. We are now preparing to implement the method of recruiting talents from the society. If you agree, we can make a decision to hire you as the chairman of the Football Association. You are very embarrassed, you should think about it carefully."
