Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 41 Came to Europe
After more than ten hours of flight, Pei Wei arrived in Cologne, Germany, and Li Qiang, who got the news, was already waiting at the airport.

"Hello, Mr. Pei."

Although he has become a unique figure, Li Qiang's attitude after seeing Pei Wei is still respectful.

"There is no need to be formal." Pei Wei smiled and patted Li Qiang on the shoulder: "Don't forget, you are the leader of the European branch."

After finishing speaking, Pei Wei looked around: "Where are the others?"

"They are all in the company." Li Qiang led Pei Wei out: "Are you tired? I have already booked a room for you, do you want to take a rest first?"

"No need." Pei Wei waved his hand, although after a long flight, Pei Wei has already slept on the plane, and now he is in good spirits: "You have done a good job in the past six months, I have read your report Already signed contracts with several sports management students who are about to graduate, and formed cooperation with several larger clubs in Europe... Yes, to be honest, I really didn’t expect your work to go so smoothly.”

"Those students are all Chinese students. Although they have been gilded abroad, if they cannot stay abroad and return to China, it will be difficult for them to find jobs in domestic clubs... After all, they are not football players. People in the world do not have any qualifications at all, and now our club has given them this opportunity, of course they can’t wait for it.” Li Qiang said humbly: “As for those clubs, they are just familiar with them now. After all, we have just Rushing to the next level of league, cooperation... is far from being discussed."

"This is enough." Pei Wei is very satisfied with Li Qiang's work: "Currently European clubs still lack the awareness of developing the Far East market. The European football market is far from reaching saturation, but it will be reached one day. Then Then we'll be the first choice ... believe me, it's not too far away."

Pei Wei's words are full of confidence. In the next one or two years, some European giants set off an upsurge in commercial competitions in China, such as AC Milan and Sampdoria, two veteran Serie A teams. have done something like this.

The two talked while walking, and Li Qiang hailed a car on the street and drove them to the location of the European branch of Tianyu Club.

"Now we are basically very idle, and there are not many people in the branch. Basically, all the staff are scattered in other places, socializing, connecting with each other, looking for talents... This is our usual job."

In the almost empty branch, Li Qiang explained to Pei Wei.

Pei Wei nodded. From the investment point of view, Pei Wei's operation of this European branch is completely losing money, but Pei Wei doesn't care, because after a few years, this branch will definitely show its due value.

Pei Wei can almost imagine that the teenagers who came out of Tianyu's various echelons will continue to enter the youth teams, youth teams, and even adult teams of various European clubs through the European division, and they can also gain from these clubs through various cooperations. In order to cultivate Chinese young players with rich experience and the most advanced football theory in the world, Pei Wei has the confidence to make Yunjiatianyu into China's Ajax and send batch after batch of outstanding players to Chinese football. talent.

"You came to Europe this time to choose a new coach, right?" Li Qiang brewed a cup of tea for Pei Wei: "It's a bit difficult. It's easy to find a coach, but it's hard to find a good one, and we seldom talk to him. When dealing with coaches, the Cologne Institute of Physical Education has many talents in this area, but they are either relatively old and only have theory, or they are young and have not even obtained a coaching certificate."

"You don't have to worry about this, I already have a candidate in my heart..." Pei Wei took a sip of tea in satisfaction: "I just want to ask you a question, do you have any connection with the Monaco team in Ligue [-]?"

"Monaco? That's a giant in Ligue [-]..." Li Qiang said hesitantly: "We haven't had any dealings with Ligue [-] teams... Wait, it seems that I met a staff member from Monaco at a banquet. However, he gave me a business card, which seems to be a deputy director of the youth department of the Monaco club."

"That's enough." Pei Wei stood up from the sofa: "Have you guys been in touch in the future?"

"I have contacted you a few times..." Li Qiang smiled: "After all, our current job is to build relationships with all the people in the European football circle that we can know."

"Very good, you call that person and ask him if he knows the contact information of the coach who was dismissed by Monaco at the end of last season." Pei Wei rubbed his hands excitedly, looking impatient.

"The coach who was dismissed by Monaco at the end of last season? You mean the Frenchman Arsene Wenger? He was quite brilliant in the past. He led Monaco to a Ligue [-] championship, a French Cup championship and a European Cup Winners' Cup. Runner-up... But last season he brought a giant like Monaco to the ninth position, and he didn't even qualify for the UEFA Cup, which is not very good."

It seems that Li Qiang is still very familiar with European football, otherwise he would not be familiar with Wenger's information immediately.

"Yes, that's him!" Pei Wei chuckled in his heart, how Wenger led the team in the past is none of my business!I only know that it is enough for him to bring Arsenal to the top in one hand!And a coach who can save money for the club, train young players, and make the team play amazing offensive football like this is even rarer than a dinosaur!And now this is the time when Wenger is at his worst. After being dismissed by Monaco, he was invited by the Japanese team Nagoya Grampus to find a job until next year. Since he can go to Little Japan, why can't he come to China?

Instead of letting such an excellent coach bring development to Japanese football, let's bring something different to our Chinese football!
"Hurry up and contact that guy, be sure to ask for Wenger's contact information or home address!" Pei Wei ordered Li Qiang to say.

"Okay, I'll call right away." Li Qiang rummaged in the drawer of his desk, found a business card, and pressed the phone: "Hi! Oliveira! My friend! This is Li Ah, Li from China! Haha, I'm fine, please worry about me... By the way, it's like this, I have something I want to ask you... Haha, don't be kidding, I'm a know-it-all..."

Watching Li Qiang make a phone call, Pei Wei narrowed his eyes, and began to wonder how the Tianyu team has become so powerful since Wenger became the head coach...

PS: I love Wenger so much!
