Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 495 Take the Chinese League Road with Chinese Characteristics
The CEOs had a great discussion, and Li Qiang also joined the discussion under Pei Wei's suggestion. After staying in Europe for so many years, he naturally knows the operation mode of professional leagues very well, and often makes other The boss had a feeling of "so it was like this". Gradually, the bosses who thought Li Qiang was just a puppet and didn't think much of him began to pay more attention to Li Qiang. Many bosses even put down their airs and asked Li Qiang some things. Li Qiang also answered one by one very gracefully. At least as a newcomer, Li Qiang has already left a deep impression on everyone.

When Li Qiang was shining, Pei Wei just hid aside with a glass of wine, leaving Li Qiang plenty of space.

"You have found a good successor for yourself." A voice came from behind, Pei Wei turned around, just in time to see Zhang Bing raised his cup to him with a smile: "Cheers."

Pei Wei raised his glass and touched him lightly: "Since I'm going to leave, of course I have to hand over the club to someone I can trust."

Hua Long noticed them, and came over with the wine, just in time to hear what Pei Wei said, and immediately said: "Are you really going to leave like this? I haven't defeated you yet, so just leave?"

Pei Wei laughed: "The fun in the league seems to be more than me...and to be honest, I don't have much interest in running a club anymore. No matter what game, I will get tired of it after playing for eight years. .”

"And..." Pei Wei paused for a while, and then said: "After Yunjiatianyu entered the top league, we have won three league championships, an average of one every two years, and the ranking has never fallen below the third place. A strong team should not exist forever, otherwise it will be unfair to other teams... To be honest, although your two teams have taken away a league championship from me, whether it is Shandong Still in Liaoning, the club system is not as perfect as Yunjiatianyu, if they want to compete with Yunjiatianyu, there is still room to strengthen."

Hua Long and Zhang Bing looked at each other, and they both saw dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

"Don't believe me? Let me tell you this, you only have two to three years to accept the club. Maybe you can rely on your own financial resources to compete with Yunjiatianyu in the first team lineup, but in terms of the club's facilities, you There is still a long way to go, this alone is the biggest advantage of Yunjia Tianyu, your club’s potential is not as great as Yunjia.” Pei Wei said lightly: “Of course, neither Liaoning nor Shandong is short of football. The atmosphere and excellent talent pool, but you have not done your best in this aspect. Yunjia's second-tier team can provide the first-tier team with two or three newcomers with the ability to meet the standards every year. Can Liaoning and Shandong do it? And we have never let go of the cultivation of the cultural quality of the players. Now our new generation of players have at least a high school education level. Football also depends on the brain. In order to achieve this goal, I know how much money, how much energy and how much I spent. Time? Before this link is perfected, no club can compete with Yunjia Tianyu."

"What is this? Is it a pointer to the opponent?" Zhang Bing suddenly laughed: "I'm a little strange, are you really so open-minded? I hope that the more competitors in the league, the better? To be honest, I don't think anyone It's going to be so good."

"What am I afraid of?" Pei Wei said with a smile: "Do you think this link is so easy to do? It took me eight years to make Yunjiatianyu's echelon construction bear fruit. It will take four or five years, and this period of time is enough to make Yunjiatianyu stronger! What's more, even if your club catches up with Yunjiatianyu, it will not hurt me. It brings out the greatness of my former chairman, doesn't it? What's more, I always think that a league needs to have four to five teams capable of competing for the championship and most of the teams that can cause trouble for the winning team. The league is exciting enough, full of suspense and vitality... I hope the Chinese league can become such a league. Only players who have gone out in such a fiercely competitive league can have the ability to gain a foothold in the more brutal competition in Europe , With more players like this, the strength of our national team will be stronger, and this is what I am most happy to see."

Hua Long let out a long breath: "It seems that I have no chance to defeat you..." He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You have already left this game, and even if you didn't leave, I have no chance of defeating you, you I am not on the same level as me at all. Maybe I can win a few championships from you, but in terms of contribution to Chinese football, I am afraid my Shandong Hualong will never be as good as Yunjiatianyu... I have convinced you, not only in terms of business, but also in running the club."

"You must never quit the Chinese League." Pei Wei made a look of fear: "Now the Chinese League needs the support of a rich man like you..."

"Don't worry." Hualong's always cold face showed a thawing smile: "Even if you are gone, I can still lead my Shandong Hualong and Yunjiatianyu to compete-not only in the league. In terms of performance, but also in supporting the development of Chinese football... I hope I can do better without you."

"Then you have to be careful. Li Qiang is also a good opponent. Yunjiatianyu under his leadership will not be worse than when I was here. I have full confidence in this." Pei Wei replied with a smile.

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhang Bing asked suddenly.

"Me? I am planning to go to Europe as the vice chairman of the Football Association to learn. At the same time, I will try my best to contact some European clubs and form friendly clubs with Chinese clubs. I will absorb the strengths of others and make up for my own weaknesses. The development of the league is definitely not a short-term development. To be the best, we must have a long-term development - the league is endless, what we have to do is to try our best to create a stable development environment for future generations." Pei Wei replied after thinking for a while.

"Then... I wish you success." Zhang Bing raised his glass: "Although we have been rivals for several years, we have learned a lot from each other in private. Let's say goodbye today. I don't know when we will be able to talk happily... done."

Hua Long and Pei Wei raised their wine glasses at the same time, and drank the liquid in the glasses in one gulp.

******************************************
After some intense discussions, constant discussions, and constant additions, the future professional league finally set the size of the league and several basic regulations.

In order to avoid a dominance situation, the league decided not to set up the post of chairman of the league, but to have four standing committee members. All clubs A, A, and B will automatically be qualified as ordinary members. Two consecutive terms, through the election of all members to determine who the standing committee members are, any member has the right to propose a proposal, and when the proposal is approved by two-thirds of the members, it can be submitted to the standing committee for implementation. After the approval of the committee members, the proposal can be formally passed.The reason why it is so strict is to control proposals from flooding.

After some elections, Mr. Wang from Dalian, Mr. Yu from Shanghai, Zhang Bing from Liaoning and Hualong from Shandong were elected as the first standing committee members. After Pei Wei left, the bosses of these four clubs are the most prestigious. And these four clubs are also all the clubs that have won the league championship except Yunjiatianyu, so they will naturally have certain advantages.

If Pei Wei was here, he would definitely not be able to take the position of standing committee member, and Li Qiang, who took his place as a newcomer, would naturally have no role. Neither Pei Wei nor Li Qiang care too much about this. Jia Tianyu's grades are good, so Li Qiang will naturally have a chance.

Pei Wei smiled and congratulated the four new standing committee members. He knew in his heart that although he had drawn a tempting blueprint for these bosses, making them feel that as long as the clubs united, they would be able to challenge the Football Association—— In fact, the European countries can control the league is the professional league, the power of the Football Association is not as good as them, but the official background of the Chinese Football Association is destined not to be able to fight against the clubs.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials. In China, a country with a high degree of centralization, the folk forces will never be able to compete with the official forces.With the establishment of a professional league, the most important thing is to discuss the distribution of broadcast fees, and to quell conflicts between clubs. It is still impossible to really compete with the Football Association.

The symbolic significance of this professional league is greater than the actual significance, but at least, after having such a league, the development of the Chinese league tends to be more balanced, just like other clubs cannot pin their hopes on Pei Wei's personal self-consciousness, the professional league The meaning of existence is to prevent the Football Association from doing whatever it wants, and to be able to unite and express their opinions when the Football Association acts perversely. This is the greatest significance of the existence of this professional league.

If there was such a professional league in Pei Wei's previous life, I'm afraid the Football Association can't just stop the relegation of the league in the name of making way for the national team, right?
There is still a long way to go for the Chinese League. Although the European League has proved that the separation of powers between the Football Association, the Professional League and the Players Union is the best model, the difference in national conditions is doomed that the Chinese League cannot copy the European League. How to take the path of a professional league with Chinese characteristics is still a long way to go.
