ball at foot

Zhao Yaning thought for a while, and took the bet without too much hesitation.

"Joy, you are at a disadvantage." Squillage shook his head. "The African Cup is held every two years, and the Asian Cup is held every four years. His chances of winning are much greater than yours."

Drogba disagreed with this statement, "But our competition is much bigger than them. There are giants like Egypt in Africa, and teams such as Cameroon are strong teams, but what about Asia? There are not many strong teams in Asia. Right? How could they not win the championship? Or are all Asian games played like the Korean team?"

Drogba's words made several people laugh: After the Korea-Japan World Cup, the Korean team has been treated as a joke by European players.

Although it was only the Spaniards and Italians who hated Koreans at first, the trend spread later.Although everyone dare not say anything publicly, they all make fun of Koreans in private. [

In fact, South Korea is wronged enough: the South Korean team in 2002 is indeed the strongest South Korean team ever.The South Korean team is united, hard-working, and hard-working. Although their skills are not good, they are physically fit and willing to run. It can be said to be a very strong team.

But that kind of strength is not the opponent of Italy and Spain after all. They defeated these two teams with black whistle, and the impression left on people is naturally only black whistle. The glorious side, probably only they themselves will remember up.

"It's not that exaggerated, but Asian football is indeed not very clean." Those idiots in the Football Association even bribed the upper echelon, bribed the referee, and intrigue and engage in politics so badly.

But at this time, he can't complain about these things, "China's luck has not been very good, and there are no people on the top who can talk, and they are rarely taken care of. And now, there are new problems."

Zhao Yaning thought about it for a while, and briefly said a few words about the lack of success of various teams, and then began to smile wryly, “I’m all counting on making money... Just seeing Qi Zu, Figo’s transfer fee is so high that people are surprised. Forget how Rome, Lazio, and Florence went bankrupt..."

These words did not touch Squillage much: France is a player exporting country, and the number of players sold to foreign countries every year is the first in the world. Even Brazil is far behind.

Drogba is quite willing to find a way.

"You can invest in football schools by yourself. Many people in Africa do this. And you don't need to pay all the money. You can contact the government, provide technical support with your reputation and connections, and let the government provide land. At the same time Fundraising in Europe, calling on people to donate to the children of the third world - in this way, you don't have to spend too much money, and you can get a good reputation, which is very cost-effective. I always think, when I have money in the future , with fame, I will do the same," Drogba reminded him.

"I thought about it..." Zhao Yaning explained his problem, "The main problem is social security. If a player is injured, it is difficult to treat the disease, and if the player is forced to retire, it is difficult to arrange. At the same time, the trained Players, if they are not good enough, they have nowhere to go."

"Can't you run a hospital by yourself?" Drogba immediately gave his opinion, "If you build a specialized hospital, wouldn't it solve the problem? The hospital is also a good investment, and you won't lose money at any time , the money they earn is used to pay for the treatment of the players, wouldn't it be great to kill two birds with one stone?"

Zhao Yaning hadn't thought about this idea before, but thinking about it now, it's really good.

But the question is, does China allow private hospitals?Zhao Yaning couldn’t remember it. It seemed that in his memory, all the hospitals were run by the state.

"And those who can't continue their careers are easier to handle. Isn't your national football just becoming professional? The industries around football also need talents? Let them do those things? Scouts, coaches, reporters , copywriters, and even those who mow the lawn, don’t they all need people?”

"As for those who are kicked out, it's easier to handle. Don't you buy a club yourself?" Drogba said. Good grades, not seeking a lot of income, is a team for cultivating talents. As long as you don’t want to make a lot of money, you don’t have to think too much about the investment. Let the team be responsible for its own profits and losses. Isn't that a good thing?"

These things are things that Zhao Yaning has never thought about. He has never thought that training players can be related to making money.

But it does make sense when you think about it.If you buy a club by yourself and don't ask for grades, and you can play whatever you want, just to cultivate talents, then you really won't lose much money.The football industry loses money mainly because of the worth and salary of big-name players, and other things are average.If you really don't pursue results and don't need the team to hand over any money to you, you can indeed make the team run well, and you can also cultivate youth training.

No one in China has Wenger's ability to cultivate talents, make achievements and make money at the same time.But don't get grades, don't make money, just cultivate talents, it's much easier.There are such teams everywhere in France. They go back and forth between Ligue [-] and France [-]. They don’t invest in signings when they have money.If you don't ask for profit, you should be able to do better, right?

Zhao Yaning heard from the coaches how much youth training costs: Among the Ligue 1000 teams, Lyon spends the most on youth training. They recruit talents from all over France and update their equipment every year. But even so, they The annual investment is only about [-] million euros.This money includes the introduction fees of small players, the salaries of coaches and many other losses.

Lyon's youth training level, after entering the new century and the establishment of the Torah Volozh base, is already the leading youth training in Ligue [-].Even if it is placed in the world, it can compete with La Liga duo Real Madrid and Barcelona for the top three in the world.I don't ask for that kind of excellent youth training, but just set up an ordinary youth training camp, and at the same time, the price of goods in China is lower, so it shouldn't cost much, right? [

"Besides, if you are worried, you can still find foreign aid from France." Squillage also said, "Since your Chinese football level is not very good, then the French second level should be fine with you." Have you played football? Spend more money, find one or two good foreign players, and let the foreign players handle the performance issues. The club just blindly trains youth training, so it takes care of everything?"

Zhao Yaning really never thought about this, but thinking about it now, he also thinks it is a solution.

"Why do you think about these?" Zhao Yaning looked at Drogba a little puzzled.

"Our situation is similar. I have thought about the investment in African football. I draw inferences about other cases and end it." Drogba shrugged and said it easily, "The difference may be that our country is a real country. You don’t have the money to invest in football, but your country doesn’t pay attention to football, no one wants to invest.”

No, they take football very seriously.Zhao Yaning sneered.It's just that what they value is different.They hope that football will become their cash cow, and it is best to be their promotion talisman at the same time. As for the development of football and the results of football, they don't care.

The General Administration of Sports doesn't care, because they are in charge of the performance departments of table tennis, diving, and gymnastics, and a football association is not good enough, so-called.The Football Association doesn't care either. They are the department that spends the most money in the General Administration. Although they have no results, no status, and no chance of promotion, as long as they have money, they don't have to worry about the General Administration being too harsh.The club owners don't care, they are a bunch of businessmen who only think about making money.As for the players, no one else cares, so why should the players care?

"Does this work in Africa? Will the Football Association not interfere?" Zhao Yaning still asked his own question with some doubts.

"In some countries in Africa, as long as you are willing to pay the Football Association, let the Football Association listen to you and change the chairman." Drogba answered.

This makes Zhao Yaning really unable to imagine, what kind of country and what kind of football association is that?

If only the Chinese Football Association was like this... I would be cruel, give them some money, and then make my own decisions and play how I want.But the problem is that Chinese football will not look like that.The leaders of the Football Association are still counting on the Football Association as a springboard for their promotion. What they want is political achievements, not money.

Bureaucracy is nothing wrong with describing the Football Association.

Seeing Zhao Yaning’s expression, Drogba spoke slowly, “Countries like ours are incomparable with Europeans. As entertainment, we are willing to invest money. We can’t compare with South America. Those countries regard football as an industry, which is a profitable business. We can’t. Asian and African countries do not have enough social security, and secondly, they don’t have enough good social security. It is not so easy to develop the sports foundation."

Zhao Yaning nodded. What Drogba said did make sense.

But at this time, another question lingered in his mind. Drogba could think of such a method, but couldn't Zhang Yuan think of it?Speaking of which, Zhang Yuan's well-trained mind is much better than Drogba's in dealing with people.He has not been in France for a short time, can't he see things about African football?If he saw it and knew that he wanted to do something in Chinese football, why didn't he tell himself?Zhang Yuan has always been opposed to Zhao Yaning's idea of ​​investing in Chinese football. Could it be that he knew there was a way, but he didn't tell him?

This kind of thinking made Zhao Yaning feel a little bit at a loss. If even Zhang Yuan can’t be trusted, who else can trust the people around him?
