Chapter 762 Two things, one big and one small

Liverpool, Anfield.

On a sunny early summer afternoon, the entire stadium was full of seats, and a huge head was flying in the stands, with Gerrard's portrait on it.

A week after the end of the Champions League final, Liverpool held a farewell match for Steven Gerrard at Anfield.

Liverpool's legends and celebrities came to Anfield one after another. Retired veterans of the England national team, active players, and Liverpool players in 2005 also came to Anfield from all over the world. Now Liverpool players are also gathered together.

It's like a big party.

Just the day before, Liverpool just announced Mahrez's transfer to Manchester City at a price of 4500 million pounds. After the end of the season, other affairs are basically over. Those who want to leave have already left, and those who don't want to leave stay to renew their contracts. The contract is still long and I am going to go on vacation, and with Gerrard's retirement, the rest of Liverpool's job is to sign up.

This game was a bit like an exhibition game. Although Situ Yunbing was the coach in name, he just sat on the coach's bench, watching the game with a smile on his face and blessings in his heart.

Liverpool fans sang for Gerrard in the stands throughout the whole process, thanking him for his dedication and praising his greatness. Many fans who have gone through this storm together for nearly 20 years were reluctant to shed tears.

After the game, when Gerrard walked into the stadium with his family, Situ Yunbing and every audience gave a standing ovation.

Even the mayor of Liverpool was there to witness Gerrard's retirement.

Accompanied by his wife and daughter, Gerrard still held his little daughter in his arms, and gave a moving speech on his retirement with a microphone in his hand. choked up.

The little daughter in his arms hugs his neck and kisses his cheek, the picture is very warm.

The legend of the Red Army generation, the team banner, and spiritual leader Gerrard officially announced his retirement!
Since then, there is no legendary No. 8 Gerrard at Anfield!

Situ Yunbing took Sigrid back to China for vacation. He sent 6 Chinese coaches including Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai to the World Junior Championships, and asked them to help Alonzo. He would not go to Chile himself, so as not to It is believed by the outside world that he is remotely controlling Alonzo, which will only cause internal chaos.

Less than 3 days after he returned to China, he unexpectedly received a call from Klopp.

"Situ, I have good news for you."

"Let me guess, you got a job?"

"That's right, the official announcement will be made tomorrow, do you want to keep guessing?"

"I can't guess, and I don't want to talk about the clubs of the four major leagues one by one."

"Arsenal."

"What?! Wenger was fired?"

"It hasn't been announced yet, and it will be officially announced at the same time tomorrow. If you hadn't led the team to defeat Arsenal in the FA Cup final, making Arsenal lose all four seasons again, I am afraid he can stay for at least another season."

"Then you can find a new job thanks to me?"

"Oh, when I lead the team to Anfield, I will bring a bottle of good wine."

"I'm afraid you're not in the mood to drink! Anyway, congratulations on finding a new job.

Welcome to the Premier League!

I am very happy to hear this news, the Premier League next season will be interesting. "

After hanging up the phone, Situ Yunbing laughed for a long time.

Uncle Klopp is about to enter the Emirates Stadium!
What an unexpected situation!
Originally he was supposed to come to Liverpool, but there is no chance now, but maybe he will make a career in Arsenal. After all, in another time and space, the Liverpool he built has many players in this time and space. Not used.

Egypt Messi Salah, Firmino, Milner, Matip
He believes that Klopp's coming to the Premier League will cause a huge shock, and other opponents will be more sad than Liverpool!

After thinking too much, Situ Yunbing became a little worried, wondering if Mourinho could survive the third year of his second career at Chelsea.

The next day, Arsenal officially announced Wenger's dismissal, and Klopp took office as the new coach!

Fleet Street is hotly discussing Arsenal's major news, and all parties are expressing their views, some feel sorry for Wenger, and some support the club's approach.

Even for Arsenal fans, it is really a bit mixed at this moment.

After all, Wenger has been the boss of the club for nearly 20 years. Without him, there would be no Arsenal as strong as before and after the turn of the millennium, and Arsenal would not have the current Emirates Stadium. It is rare to experience Wenger’s century-old plan for the new stadium. The sacrifices that endured the burden of humiliation.

Now the Arsenal club needs to move on and needs a new situation. Wenger is sadly dismissed. Can Klopp lead Arsenal into a new era?
No one can guarantee, but more people are willing to be patient and see what happens.

Situ Yunbing took Sigrid back and forth in various provinces in China. While traveling, he would also take time to conduct simple inspections of football schools in various provinces.

When he is in China, he will naturally be the focus of attention, and he often causes overcrowded traffic jams because of wandering around in the city, especially in second-tier or first-tier cities.

The Chinese football media has recently devoted more time and energy to the team participating in the World Junior Championships, reporting a lot of news about the players in this team.

But in mid-to-late June, the Chinese Football Association issued two documents to the industry, which caused an earthquake-level effect!

One piece of news is the salary limit order for Chinese players!
The annual salary of Chinese players in the Chinese Super League clubs shall not exceed 500 million RMB, and the maximum salary of the lower leagues shall be 300 million RMB and 100 million RMB respectively!

The foreign aid policy remains unchanged.

The new policy will be implemented before the start of the new season next year, leaving half a year for Chinese football clubs to adapt and adjust their signings and contract renewals.

Existing contracts are not bound, but new contract renewals are subject to this policy since the policy was published.

If a yin-yang contract is found or other methods are changed to increase the player's remuneration, if one case is found, the club will deduct 3 points, and the superposition will be infinite!

The other piece of news is the guidelines issued by the Chinese Football Association to the national echelon regarding the code of conduct for players.

Most of the requirements are universal values, but one has attracted the attention of the outside world.

However, all national team players are prohibited from tattooing and dyeing their hair. If they have tattooed players, they are not allowed to show their tattoos during the national team's training preparations and competitions, otherwise they will be disqualified from the national team!
Not to mention other national teams, there are not a few players with tattoos in the national team!

But it’s also easy to cover up, and you can’t see it without taking off the jersey, which means that they can’t take off the jersey after the game and expose the tattoo on their upper body.

However, some players have tattoos on their arms and legs, which is basically a little troublesome. To cover their arms, they must wear long sleeves, and to cover their arms, they need to be well protected by socks.

These two pieces of news aroused strong reactions from Chinese fans. No one knew who formulated the policies and requirements, but they all started to spray and mock at the first time!

At the end of June, Situ Yunbing was a guest on World Football on the eve of his return to Liverpool. This was the second time he accepted the invitation to record a program, and this time he brought his wife Sigrid, because Sigrid would tell her story in the program. The progress of business in China, using Internet media as a carrier, how to spread and promote Chinese football, and discover Chinese football talents.

When Situ Yunbing led Sigrid and his wife into the studio with smiles on their faces, although there were only a few hundred people in the auditorium, warm applause and cheers erupted.

Situ Yunbing stepped forward to shake hands with the host Duan Xuan, Sigrid also stepped forward to shake hands with a smile, and then the two greeted the audience.

Duan Xuan first reviewed the achievements of Situ Yunbing in Liverpool for three years, and then asked some questions about the season that just ended.

For example, Situ Yunbing's abandonment of Sane in the middle of the season, such as Mbappe's sudden birth, people always have too much reverie and curiosity about young heroes, as well as the tactics of the Champions League final, and Murray Neo struggled with the unseen hardships of a season, and Gerrard's retirement.

Only about Liverpool, he can talk a lot.

When the topic shifted to Chinese football, Duan Xuan said: "I don't know if you have heard that the Chinese media recently described the controversial things in the new policy promulgated by the Chinese Football Association as two things, one big and one small.

The big thing is the salary limit order, and the small thing is about the player's tattoo and hair dyeing.

Let's talk about it one by one, do you know about the salary limit order? "

Situ Yunbing nodded calmly and said: "I know, and I can also admit that this policy is led and formulated by me alone. Those team owners, staff, players, and coaches who criticize the Chinese Football Association outside can name them. Dao has come to scold me, scolding me for not understanding the current situation of Chinese football, the environment of Chinese football, scolding me for misbehavior, at least now I let them find a goal, and they don't have to scold the air."

Duan Xuan was a little surprised. The recorded program only gave the guests question cards to let them know what questions would be asked in the program, but it did not help the guests write the answers. Whether they are willing to answer and how to answer them is the guest's own business.

It's just that Situ Yunbing's answer was a bit surprising.

He admitted it so generously, which will inevitably arouse the anger of the owners and management of the Chinese club!
Duan Xuan bit the bullet and asked: "Before formulating this policy, have you considered the negative impact of this policy after its promulgation? Many clubs claim that the new policy disrupted their signing plans, and some clubs said This will start the league in chaos for a long time!"

Situ Yunbing shook his head and said, "I don't know where the chaos comes from?

In my opinion, the Chinese Super League clubs have begun to behave irrationally. Before this policy was promulgated, the Chinese football transfer market had already experienced high premiums.

It is undeniable that there is a premium in player transfers, which is normal. A player worth 2000 million euros is finally transferred at a price of 4000 million euros, but this is only twice the premium, just like Ronaldo in 09. At that time, a sky-high transfer record of 8000 million pounds was created, but if you think about it carefully, according to the player's value at the time, Ronaldo is worth 5000 million pounds, and the premium is not serious!

However, the premium of Chinese players is definitely beyond the standard. It is very common for players to be worth 5 times higher and 10 times higher to complete the transfer.

Behind the high premium is that the player's contract treatment has also been relatively improved, and there is a very direct connection between the two.

The core of the salary limit order is actually to encourage the healthy development of the capital of all football clubs in China, and at the same time encourage players to study abroad!

When players can't earn astronomical remuneration at home, if there is a team abroad that offers a better contract, why not go?

But the problem with Chinese football now is that the domestic clubs are too rich, they don’t care how much money they lose in the club every year, they built a wall and used money to keep Chinese players inside the wall, foreign players Even though the team has taken a fancy to Chinese players, they immediately gave up their thoughts after inquiring about their current contract treatment, because the player's contract cost is too high, and the player's willingness to transfer to a foreign country is not strong!
Because I can comfortably earn tens of millions a year in China, I have a luxury house, a luxury car, everything, a contract is fulfilled, and I can stop playing football!

Why go to a foreign country where you are not familiar?

But starting from next year, none of this will work. If you want to make a lot of money, go abroad for those who are capable, and how much you can earn for those who are not. Where did it come from?

Isn't the majority of Chinese people paying the bill?
This involves a deeper level, and we will stop here. "

Although Situ Yunbing didn't name him, the audience could hear what Situ Yunbing meant when he said that the common people pay the bill.

The controlling parties of too many teams are real estate developers, but where does the real estate developers get their money?
