4. New Deal

Xiong Jian's transfer to Quan Jian's price was guessed very accurately, that is, just 100 million.

On the second day after the completion of this transfer, the new policy of the Football Association for the 2017 season, which has been discussed, landed, and there is a certain difference with history.

First of all, it is still stipulated that the foreign aid of the Chinese Super League has changed from 4+1 to 3+1, but the policy of U23 from the Chinese Super League must have two U23 players in the 18 squad, and one of them must start becomes: one U23 player must start on the field, otherwise there will be one less foreign aid.

As soon as this regulation came out, the clubs that bought Longteng players during the transfer period were considered to have made a lot of money.

Du Zhenyu was born in 1996, Guangzhou Evergrande Jin Yingquan can only make a comeback in the middle of the year, he used to play the main force absolutely no problem, which is equivalent to buying a main player below U23; Quan Jian, who just bought Xiong Jian, also earned, Xiong Jian was born in 1995, only 22 years old; As for the coolest is Kaisa, Zhou Wei was born in 1996, or a goalkeeper, he used to be 100% the main force, and foreign aid can be on casually.

These clubs solved the problems of the Under-23 players in one fell swoop.

On the day the policy was officially issued, netizens, self-media, and even some local official media were openly and secretly questioning the new regulations of the Football Association.

Zhang Sheng probably knows some of the inside stories of the wild spray of online netizens, whether it is the reduction of foreign aid or the link between U23 and foreign aid, it is aimed at foreign aid, and the foreign aid is aimed at those who buy foreign aid.

Beginning in 2014 and culminating in 2015, China's foreign exchange reserves fell off a cliff. According to statistics, foreign exchange lost at least $500 billion in 2015, and some say as much as $600 billion, with foreign residents alone taking a total of $123 billion in deposits from Chinese banking institutions. In 2016, this trend did not improve, the Federal Reserve continued to raise interest rates, the yuan continued to depreciate, and US dollar capital continued to flow out of China, reaching $490.3 billion.

Data show that China's foreign exchange loss has reached 1.03 trillion US dollars in the past three years, and the country's foreign exchange reserves once fell below 3 trillion US dollars, which is also a psychological limit that affects and hits the market.

Among these outflows of dollars, there is one that is very shocking and criticized, that is, the super-premium purchase of foreign aid by football clubs, as well as the investment in overseas football clubs.

The central bank is said to be cracking down on this phenomenon, and the instructions come from a higher level, and overseas football investment is the focus of the focus.

In the past few years, Zhang Sheng knows too well that as an insider, there are very few people who really make investments, and there are many transfers of assets and even money laundering.

In October 2014, the "Several Opinions of the State Council on Accelerating the Development of the Sports Industry and Promoting Sports Consumption" was promulgated. At that time, very few Chinese companies invested in football overseas.

In 2015, there were cases of Chinese investors taking stakes in overseas football clubs, including Wanda's stake in Spain's Atletico Madrid, and Chinese Culture teaming up with CITIC Capital to take a stake in the parent company of Premier League club Manchester City (a team the leader visited in England).

In 2016, there were even more turbulences, including Suning's 270 million controlling 70% stake in Inter Milan, Fosun Group's purchase of Wolves in England's second division, and the founder of 7 Days Hotel buying France's Nice team.

By August 2016, Chinese companies had invested in at least 14 overseas football clubs, 12 of which were holding holdings.

Another form of foreign exchange in football is to pay sky-high transfer fees to buy big-name foreign players and pay these players high salaries.

For example, Shanghai Shenhua bought Argentine player Tevez with a transfer fee of 11 million euros and an annual salary of nearly 38 million euros; SIPG bought Brazilian player Oscar for 60 million pounds and spent another 47 million pounds to buy Hulk; Suning's purchase of Teixeira, R-Martinez, and Ramirez adds up to nearly 100 million pounds, and Guangzhou Evergrande's J-Martinez plus Diego Costa's transfer fee and salary exceed $100 million.

There is a very outrageous thing in the financial circle that a province like Hebei did not have much foreign exchange outflow in the past year, but after the establishment of a Chinese Super League football club and the purchase of foreign players in a large amount, a single club can use up nearly eighty percent of Hebei Province's foreign exchange quota.

There are many ways to transfer the money out, such as direct payment to the player's account, and there are also those who first transfer the money to the account of the Chinese enterprise in the player's home country, and then transfer the money to the player.

The financial regulators of the national team are simply unable to guard against it!

Counting the income of domestic clubs, such an investment will take hundreds of years to recoup. Which of these top businessmen in China is stupid? In these acquisitions, many businessmen themselves are in debt, and they are still borrowing money from domestic banks on a large scale, and then getting dollars abroad, buying them at high prices, and the prospects for their returns are unknown.

It is even difficult to explain the logic behind the fact that some Chinese companies cannot pay the salaries of their domestic employees, and they have to go overseas to invest, or even be sued by the acquiree.

If there is no asset transfer and money laundering behind this, no one will believe it.

In this foreign exchange "war", the country can be said to have made up its mind, including state-owned enterprises such as HNA and Anbang, and the "red, second, and second" enterprises have been beaten very hard.

Don't look at Wanda's current scenery, in fact, they are also the target of key attacks.

Therefore, it can be said that the new policy of the Football Association this time is not a matter of football, not a matter in the eyes of fans, but a small matter in the country's major affairs.

However, at this time, Wanda is still very beautiful, because on January 10, the international A-level event promoted by Wanda - 2017 China Cup International Football Championship kicked off, and the opponent of the Chinese team was the Icelandic team.

Both teams on the pitch can be said to be the second team of their own country, although China has less than five players from the previous national team squad, and Iceland has only seven players who participated in Euro 2016.

The players who were recruited in this way kept making mistakes, and the Chinese team playing at home was better, but Iceland was a disaster in the first half.

However, after the second half, in this kind of game that relied more on individual performance, the Icelandic players still showed higher strength, and with two fatal mistakes by Yang Shanping, who had just transferred to Quan Jian, the Icelandic team defeated the Chinese team 2:0.

After the game, with the news of the expansion of the FIFA World Cup to the top 48, everyone said that FIFA was heartbroken for the Chinese men's football team to participate in the World Cup, but judging from the performance of teams like China and Iceland, the gap is still not small.

"Does the expansion of Tsinghua University and Peking University have anything to do with scumbags? Donating money to Ivy League schools in the United States to go to college and graduate? The Chinese team should wake up. "There are such jokes all over the Internet.

The national team is playing, and the winter training on the side of the Longteng team is also very busy. All members of the coaching staff are working with the team doctor and the strength and conditioning team to give the players a comprehensive post-holiday physical examination, and Zhang Sheng has also received several academy coaches and two players.

Judging from the inspection situation in the past few years, most of the players have maintained well, of course, there are also unqualified, such as Chavez, he went back to Argentina this holiday, in his words, after eating a year of domestic beef in China like wood residue, this time back to Argentina is regarded as a year's meat back.

This can't be blamed on Chavez, compared with the beef in the Argentine Papans savannah, the gap is indeed very large, as Argentine foreign aid who is used to eating Argentine beef, it is understandable why they like homesickness.

After the addiction, the body will have to suffer, and Chavez and Xiang Tiange, who have recently recovered from injury, and the players who returned from loan last season formed the Devil's training camp at the beginning of this year.

While the players were sweating profusely, the two players who had been called up also appeared.

Including the goalkeeper who was called before, these two players were "poached" by the Longteng team from the echelon of other teams, and the process of "digging" was very strange.

Among them, the goalkeeper is called Wang Junlei, and the player who plays the fullback is called Ma Jinglun, both of whom are from the football city of Dalian, and they are also former players of the Dalian Albin echelon. But for well-known reasons, Dalian Albin was already in a very chaotic situation at the end of 2014, and was acquired by Dalian after being relegated in 2015, and the company that sent them out before was also crumbling, and the middle player transfer process was messy with various contracts, so that the whole thing was really unclear to anyone.

Wang Junlei and Ma Jinglun's families are not considered to be wealthy, and the agency responsible for transporting them out has a problem with the funds, and they have an extremely difficult life in a foreign country.

But at this time, their parent team has changed, when they signed the contract, they signed a contract with the club, and signed another with the player's family, when Albin was acquired by one party, the two of them were collectively transferred to one party, at this time, Albin thought that the two of them were still their own players, and Albin's previous boss turned around and acquired Dalian Boyang after Albin made a move, and restarted football investment, so he naturally would not let go of these two previous players.

The two players had signed other contracts with the relevant institutions in order to go abroad, and the family members believed that the relevant institutions could not support the players to continue their studies abroad, believing that the players were already free.

One side believes that the two players were transferred to him together, and the ownership should belong to him.

So these two have become a wonderful product of socialist football with Chinese characteristics.

When the Dragons' scouts set their sights on these two players, the story behind them emerged, and the stakeholders of all parties came to the fore.

The organization of the organization to go abroad on the spot opened a price of 10 million for two people, ready to get back the previous deficit in one go, Dalian Boyang has the weakest confidence, as long as the "youth training compensation fee" of 3 million, one side originally did not pay attention to these two players who could not see how powerful, but now the Longteng team has an intention, directly is the offer of 20 million, but the parents of the two players hope that their sons can play the game soon, without too many financial requirements.

After many consultations, the organization of the organization of the abroad agency was the first out, they were not qualified enough at the beginning, and then collected money from the parents of the players many times, and now they still owe a bunch of foreign debts, and were soon forced to cancel the contract by the court; Dalian Boyang side Longteng team loaned three echelon players for free to help them participate in the next season's second league, which is considered to be a clear calculation of this matter, and one side has a headache, after a few rounds of tug-of-war, the Longteng team paid five million training fees to accept two players who have not crossed the threshold of one side at all。

During the winter training, two players who spent a lot of money and a lot of saliva and energy on the Longteng team - 17-year-old Ma Jinglun and 22-year-old Wang Junlei - began training with the team.

Judging from the training situation, the foundation of the two is average, but the physical fitness and ball quotient are really good, and the non-standard training for nearly a year has made them have a lot of lessons to make up, and the coaching staff has begun to prepare to formulate a special training plan for them.

In this winter training, there is also a group of players who can be regarded as newcomers, that is, players who have completed the loan and returned to the club.

Last season, a total of six players were loaned out, including two forwards Tang Jin and Wu Qingmin, two full-backs Peng Langjun and Tian Qijie, midfielder Qu Wenming, central defender Lu Yangyang and foreign player Fernando.

Among them, Fernando has the most opportunities to play, he is used as a core player by the West Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard, helping the team to succeed in relegation, if it weren't for the club is really poor, he would have made an offer to the Longteng team; the two fullbacks have a lot of opportunities to play, relying on their youth, can rush and fight, and the technology is good, so that the head coaches of the two teams like it very much, but they also know that these two people can't buy it themselves, and they can use it when they can use it; Qu Wenming, the back is also the absolute main force of the team, and has played a lot of games; there is a difference between the two striker players, Tang went into Qingdao Huanghai, and this club invited the coach of Barcelona, using Barcelona's tactical system, which is very in line with Tang Jin's training style in the Longteng team for more than two years, Tang Jin also played very happily in the team, after continuous assists on the field, became the team's main rotation player for most of the season, and Wu Qingmin was a little unlucky, injured 2 or 3 times in a row halfway, although they were all minor injuries, but led to seven or eight games played throughout the season; 。

This season, the position of the loan players in the team will also change.

With the departure of Roque Gil and the promise of Zhang Sheng last year, Fernando will definitely stay in the team this season, and he will be responsible for the two wings of the Longteng team with De Paul, the difference is that Fernando is mainly a winger, De Paul is mainly a wide midfielder, replacing the position of Qi Ming and Tao Wentao last season, and the latter two will go to the middle.

After Du Zhenyu leaves, Lu Yangyang will stay in the team as the fourth central defender of the Longteng team to play rotation and substitutes, and Qu Wenming is also considered to be in time, Roque Gill and Xiong Jian have left, and the Longteng team has lost two important players in the midfield, and he will be ready to play as a new puzzle piece at any time.

As for the rest of the players, they will compete against players in the same position during this winter training period, with the winners staying in the team and those who need to be improved are on loan at all levels of the league.
