World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 328 Corinthians' "Battle of Electricity Revenge"

Three days after the Ricardo incident was resolved, an article titled "I am fighting for the country in the front, and you dig the wall in the back" appeared on the headlines of major portal websites.

The article did not mention Ricardo's transfer, but disclosed the shameless act of a domestic club disregarding FIFA's regulations to privately contact and lure a Chinese player who is representing the National Youth Selection Team in the São Paulo State Championship.

There are a lot of content and detailed descriptions, and even the details of the promised contract are made public.Direct the spearhead to a wealthy club in the north.

For a while, the public opinion was uproarious, not to mention how despicable, shameless, and vicious this act of reaching out to pick other people's peaches is, the point is that you are poaching the corners of the National Youth Selection Team, which is tantamount to poaching the corners of the country, which is "betrayal", "collaboration with the enemy", and "traitorism"!
What is even more infuriating is that in an environment where the Football Association and the outside world have widely called for "rational consumption" in the domestic football circle and living within its means, the club actually offered such sky-high contracts to young players in order to poach other people's corners.

You know, this club took the lead in advocating the "salary limit order" at the Football Association meeting not long ago.

This kind of duplicitous behavior pushed the club to the forefront in one fell swoop.

Under the instigation of a group of media reporters and big V headed by Chen Yong, the situation became even more violent and intensified.

The southern giants club urgently refuted the rumors, and the brand department worked day and night to try to put out the fire, but in the face of a large number of factual details and raging public sentiment, it was like a mantis holding a car, powerless.

In the end, the strong man behind the southern giants club broke his wrist and held an emergency meeting overnight, announcing a series of appointment and dismissal decisions. The general manager of the club and the principal of the football school were dismissed on the spot, and the group vice president in charge of football was downgraded several times.

He also declared to the public that this was just an act of some individuals in private without consulting the board of directors. The club firmly supported the construction and development of the national team, and was very excited by the impressive record of domestic brother teams abroad. At the same time, it actively contributed to the cause of domestic football youth training.

Finally, in order to express its care and support for the DB team that has won glory for the country, the group donated 500 million yuan to the DB club free of charge, hoping that they will win glory for the country in the Sao Paulo State Championships, be proactive and make new achievements!
For the two clubs, money is small money, attitude is more important!
"Tsk tsk, Boss Xu is worthy of being a big boss, he just talks about politics and knows how to advance and retreat, and he does things very well!"

When he learned that the money had been transferred to the club's account, Gao Yuan expressed his heartfelt emotion.

Look at others, this is called being able to afford and let go!It's a pity that the big rock that I picked up and put down just hit my own foot!

Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice!

During this period, due to the recruitment of the Brazilian National Youth Team and the poaching of corners by the southern giants, the team's record has been somewhat affected and fluctuated.

The team experienced its first defeat since the state championship, losing 1:2 to Botafogo SP, which is not very strong.

With the successive victories of the DB team, the proud Brazilian footballers finally changed their attitude and lowered their proud heads. More and more teams did not hesitate to park their buses when facing DB, and played defensive counterattack tactics.

Due to the absence of the powerful high center forward Alfonso, the young DB team encountered some problems when they broke through the dense defense. Although the whole field suppressed the opponent's attack and the ball possession rate reached 70%, but the offense was too vigorous and ignored the defense. They were attacked twice by the opponent and stabbed twice in the chrysanthemum. The chrysanthemum was full of bruises.

Gao Yuan didn't care about this loss.I didn't expect to be undefeated in the regular season at first, and it's not bad to lose now. It's also a good thing to pour cold water on these boys and let them calm down.

Sure enough, this defeat stimulated the DB teenagers, not only let them know themselves again, but also inspired their fighting spirit, their arrogance was greatly restrained, and they worked harder on the training ground.

In the subsequent training, Gao Yuan strengthened targeted tactical training, and the results were quite good.Coupled with the return of the Brazilian National Youth Four and the team's super cohesion after the "Ricciardo transfer incident" was resolved, the team's record began to soar again, singing all the way in the standings.

In the twinkling of an eye, two months passed quickly, and the regular season came to the final round.

In the current standings, the DB team leads all the way in this group, even stepping on the mighty Sao Paulo.

Team Name Round Points Goals Goals Conceded
DB 14 31:35:11
Sao Paulo 14 30:44:18
Inter Limeira 14 22 min 27:29
Mirazo 14 13:23:31
Ituano 14 6:18:42
This result was something no one expected before the season.The DB team, which was originally regarded as a favorite for relegation, actually took the lead to the final round of the regular season.

The attitude of Brazilian football public opinion towards this China-Pakistan mixed youth army has gradually changed from the initial hostility, ridicule, and disdain to the current attention, pursuit, and praise.

Who wouldn't want to witness the rise of a young dynasty?
Only the Sao Paulo fans were upset.My team didn't lose a game, 8 wins, 6 draws and 0 losses. The number of goals and goal difference is also more than DB. Unfortunately, there are more draws, so DB, who has 9 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, is stepped on.

Such a good result is ranked first in other groups, but the same group came out with a stronger one. How can this be justified?The Sao Paulo team couldn't help but feel the emotion of "how bright you are when you are born".

But fortunately, there is still the last round of the regular season. Their opponent is the weak Ponte Preta, and DB will accept the challenge of the veteran team Corinthians at home.

Corinthians Club (Sport Club Corinthians Paulista), nicknamed "Timo", nicknamed "Torpedo Boat", this team has a long history and brilliant record, established on September 1910, 9, is one of the earliest teams established in Sao Paulo.The team has won 1 Brazilian League titles, 6 Brazilian Cup titles, 3 Club World Cup titles, 2 Copa Libertadores title, 1 South American Cup Winners' Cup title, and as many as 1 titles in the Sao Paulo State Championship!
However, Corinthians have not been happy in recent years. Since winning the South American Cup Winners Cup in 2013, they have not won the championship again.The club's finances are also deteriorating, and even last month, the headquarters in St. George's Park was forcibly cut off by the power department because of unpaid previous electricity bills.

The backstage of the DB team is the State Grid, and several major UHV power projects in Brazil are constructed and operated by them.Therefore, this game was dubbed by the media as "Corinthians' Battle of Electric Bill Revenge".

When Gao Yuan saw this news headline, he almost spit.Who the hell is so talented!The State Grid is a Chinese company, and what Corinthians owes is Brazil's electricity bills. In the words of the old man Xing, isn't this using the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of the current dynasty?
However, for the Corinthians, Gao Yuan has a different feeling.

Because in this team, there is an old acquaintance—the former Taishan team's defensive core Jill!
In the Super League last season, Jill left the Taishan team, which he had played for many years, due to family reasons.The Taishan team's defense has been greatly affected, and finally fell into the sand in the AFC Champions League, league and cup competitions.Li Xiaopeng also failed to become the coach of the national team. Later, under the suggestion of Gao Yuan, the Taishan team gave up Vermaelen and brought in Moises. Because of Gao Yuan's meritorious advice, he also gained greater trust from Li Xiaopeng and gained more voice.

It can be said that Jill's departure has a profound impact on the Taishan team and Gao Yuan.

Today, the reunion of old people thousands of miles away, how can it not make people's hearts surge.

In fact, Corinthians also has a former foreign player of the Tarzan team, Wagner Love on the front line.The former Brazil international who once boasted that "you can train while drinking coffee in the Super League" has brought countless wonderful moments to Taishan fans, and once made people feel that football can still be played like this.However, the 37-year-old is just a substitute for the team, and it is still unknown whether he can play.

Jill and Loew joined Corinthians, and they both have one characteristic, they were all bought by Corinthians without spending money.This famous club that once owned Socrates, Ronaldo, Pato, Tevez and other stars, after the financial deficit, its business strategy became very thieves.

So this "Battle of Revenge on Electricity Bills" is also a duel between young upstarts VS outdated veterans.
