Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 497 The First Chinese in FIFA
The Football Association moved quickly. After Pei Wei officially announced his resignation as the chairman of Yunjiatianyu, he sent a letter declaring Pei Wei to be the FIFA Executive Committee to FIFA. In this letter, he described Pei Wei in detail. Since the launch of the Chinese professional league, he has contributed to the development of Chinese football. Among them, the most important one is that Pei Wei is the first chairman to hire a European coach to coach in China, and he has built nearly [-] football stadiums in various parts of China. School, the former has developed the exchange between Chinese football and European football, and the latter has allowed the sport of football to be fully promoted in this ancient country of China.

Xu Bing is very clear about the thoughts of FIFA President Sepp Blatter. This president has always been known for his dedication to global football integration and the development of weak football countries. Pei Wei's two achievements can be largely Touch the heart of this chairman.

There are 2002 FIFA executive committee members, of which three are from Asia, Haman from Qatar, Makudi from Thailand, and Junji Ogura from Japan. Apart from Asia, where the level of football is relatively low, you must know that there are only three executive committee members from Europe, and only two from South America. This time, before the [-] World Cup, FIFA decided to add four executive committee members, one of them The quota belongs to Asia, probably because this World Cup only gave Asia two and a half places as compensation.

The other three places are basically already occupied. Platini was newly elected as the president of UEFA, so he automatically occupied an executive committee position. Dr. Fujima Roshi from Tonga served.

In Asia, there are naturally many countries that hope to recommend their own people to serve as the executive committee member, but in recent years, Chinese football has been the most popular in Asia, and Japan and South Korea also hope that the executive committee member is from East Asia, so for Pei Wei That said, he basically has no competitors.In addition, China's influence in the AFC is relatively strong now. Although Xu Bing has not served as the vice chairman of the AFC, his long-term accumulated prestige is still no one can underestimate him, and Zhang Long has the power of the AFC. The position of the vice chairman of the AFC is still quite sufficient in the AFC and the Chinese Football Association.

Therefore, after the AFC clears all obstacles in the current period, the only candidate in Asia to report is Pei Wei, which almost means that Pei Wei has become the executive committee of FIFA, unless FIFA rejects the request of the Chinese Football Association , which is practically impossible.

"If there are no accidents, you will be able to become the executive committee of FIFA within a month at most." Xu Bing smiled and filled the glass in front of Pei Wei: "How is it? How do you feel?"

"Not so good." Pei Wei curled his lips: "I feel a little fooled now...To be honest, the position of the FIFA executive committee is not a particularly special position...All the executive committee members are basically from their own country. The only important person in the Football Association is the so-called 'Honorary Vice President'... You must know that FIFA is not a regular office! Only when something happens or when something needs to be studied can the executive committee members play their role In normal times, other executive committee members have their own things to do, and I am an idler! The chairman of the club can no longer work, the vice chairman of the Football Association is only an honorary person, and cannot participate in decision-making, and the executive committee member is an idler... ...Do you want me to be a door god who does nothing but scares?"

Facing Pei Wei's questioning, Xu Bing smiled awkwardly: "This... I didn't think of it either. Originally, I planned to be the door god myself, so that you can do a lot of things, but now it can only be like this... ...Or, you can find other things to do, even if Yunjiatianyu listens to politics behind the curtain, it's not a big deal, after all, you don't have any power in the Football Association, and you can't get any extra benefits for Yunjiatianyu."

Pei Wei smiled and glanced at Xu Bing, it seemed that Xu Bing really felt guilty for himself for being able to make this guy who never made mistakes say such unprincipled words.

However, he was just complaining casually. He has been busy for the past eight years, and it is really uncomfortable to be idle all of a sudden, but this also makes him spend a lot more time with Su Mei and the children——Pei Wei waved his hand: "Forget it." , since I left that position, I will never go back. I never do things that are superficial and covert... and to be honest, after eight years of being the chairman of the club, I also feel a little bored , Forget it, I will take a period of vacation for myself, and when the vacation is over, I will start to get busy again."

"Busy... What are you busy with?" Xu Bing was taken aback, and couldn't help asking, he really couldn't think of what else Pei Wei could be busy with. He has no company, no club, and two idle jobs on him...

"Anyway, as the vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association and the FIFA executive committee, I have to do something, right?" Pei Wei smiled: "You said that I can become the FIFA executive committee at most one month, right? I will help the Chinese Football Association when the time comes."

"What do you want to do?" Xu Bing looked at Pei Wei warily.

"What kind of eyes are you looking at? Do you think I will hurt you?" Pei Wei said with a smile: "It's okay to help the national team find some suitable warm-up opponents then? After all, I still know them both in Europe and South America." Some people. And it is very important to warm up the opponent. It must conform to the characteristics of our opponents in the group stage. At this level of professionalism, I think there is no one in the Football Association who can match me? More importantly, I have a brain trust behind me, they are all football experts! A good warm-up is a positive help for the national team to perform at a better level."

"You are indeed an expert in this area. Speaking of which, our Football Association really lacks professionals like you. How about it? Are you interested in removing the word 'honor'? I absolutely believe in your integrity. " Xu Bing smiled slyly.

"Good idea, do you want me to work for your Football Association? There is no door, and you have been the honorary vice chairman for more than a month, right? I haven't even seen a penny of salary! You want me to give it to you for free Part-time job?" Pei Wei stood back confidently.

"What do you need money for..." Xu Bing said dumbfounded, and was immediately interrupted by Pei Wei: "It's one thing for me to have money, but it's another thing for me to work for free... Dude, I always Hundreds of thousands per second, let me play with your Football Association? Are you kidding me!"

Xu Bing sighed, and he also knew that what Pei Wei said was true. For a super rich man, it was a great affection for him to leave the club to help the Football Association, let alone help the Football Association all the time.

"Also, I will serve as the executive committee member for at most two years, and then I will quit... I am a businessman after all, and it is not the case to be associated with your official football association... After these two years, is it enough for you to cultivate a successor? At that time, the domestic league will also be on track, and it will be fine even if you retire to be the executive committee member?" Pei Wei said lightly.

"No way? You thought of leaving just after you took office? What is this, are you treating the executive committee like a joke?" Xu Bing almost spit out his tea, then put the cup heavily on the table, it seems that he is real Angry: "If you really plan to do this, then I think it's better not to be a member of the executive committee."

"To be honest, two years is enough." Pei Wei was not angry: "Anyway, within these two years, I will try my best to strengthen the communication between the Chinese Football Association and FIFA, and you will do the domestic work well. Retire after success, and you will go to the next level—isn’t that good? Do you really think that I will be a member of the executive committee for the rest of my life?”

Xu Bing was speechless.

"Don't worry, old friend." Pei Wei patted Xu Bing on the shoulder: "With these two years as a buffer, the renewal of the Football Association will be relatively smooth... After all, your Football Association is the manager, let me, an outsider It is inappropriate to be an executive member representing China, and I will continue to search for my ideals, which is the most important thing for me.”

"Okay." Xu Bing smiled helplessly: "For these two years, cheers."

****************************************
The following month is considered the most leisure period since Pei Wei was reborn—from the age of 20 to 36 when he was reborn, Pei Wei has been working hard in shopping malls for 16 years. He put all his heart and soul into the club, until now, he has let go of all the burdens and started to enjoy life to the fullest.

During this period of time, apart from paying attention to the progress of the construction of Yunjia Football Theme Park and occasionally checking the situation of football schools in various places by phone, Pei Wei stayed with Su Mei and her children during the rest of the time. Just go to watch Yunjia Tianyu's game live - naturally in the stands, after becoming the honorary vice chairman, he will not have the right to enter the field to watch the game, and can only watch in the stands.

In these four rounds of the league, Yunjiatianyu performed very well. The two new foreign aids have been well integrated into the team. The returning Hao Dong also showed the strength of China's number one striker. In the first four league rounds of the new season, Yunjiatianyu ranked first in the standings with consecutive victories, which also dispelled the fans' worries to a certain extent.

Seeing this situation, Pei Wei is naturally very happy, and the construction of the theme park is progressing very smoothly. It is conservatively estimated that it will be completed in mid-May.
Work, that time is the end of the European league, and the opening of the theme park will definitely shock the whole country.

At the same time, the letter of appointment from FIFA also arrived on time, and Pei Wei officially became one of the 1 executive committee members of FIFA. He is also the No.[-] Chinese in FIFA.
