Chapter 649

"Li Sheng, don't mess around, I finally got the Hong Kong Super League into the current situation, don't dismantle my platform!" Xu Jiankui heard Li Xuan's proposal, his face turned green, "What's more, there is no regular professional league in the mainland now!"

Their highest level of competition is called the National League A, and it is a double round-robin competition! The goal of the Oriental team this season is to hit the treble, if you let the team play north and fall short, the team's die-hard fans really dare to go to the door of the Oriental Building to splash red paint!"

"I'll just mention it casually, if you think it's not suitable, forget it!" Li Xuan smiled and shook his head.

"Don't look at the national system of mainland football, their strength is still very strong! Even if the Oriental team goes north, it may not be able to take advantage. Liao-Ningdong Pharmaceutical Team also won the Asian Club Cup last year and is one of the main competitors of the Eastern team to enter Asia this year!" Xu Jiankui explained.

The Oriental team has been a standout in the Hong Kong Super League, and now both the team and the fans have set their sights on shining all over Asia.

There are now two top club continental competitions in Asia, namely the Asian Club Champions Cup (AFC Cup) and the Asian Cup Winners' Cup. Among them, the Asian Club Cup is contested by the champions of the leagues of various countries, while the Asian Cup is contested by the champions of the cups of various countries.

As the champion of the Hong Kong Super League last season, the Eastern team will represent Hong Kong in this year's Asian Club Cup. Compared with the call for wind and rain in the Hong Kong league in recent years, the results of the Oriental team in the continental competition are much inferior!

After all, the current level of excitement and intensity of the Hong Kong Super League is mainly supported by the 7 foreign aid policy. The rules for foreign aid in continental competitions are not so relaxed, and more local players can only be sent to the field.

There is still a gap between Hong Kong's local football level and Asia's top teams. Once the Kryptonite skill of the Eastern team is in a semi-sealed state, it is not surprising that it has repeatedly failed in the Asian Club Cup and the Asian Excellence Cup.

"If you want to rely on Hong Kong players to impact the Asian championship, you have to wait a few more years, at least until the team's youth training system grows up!

The mainland was originally the main source of Hong Kong's population! If we go back 30 years, at least half of Hong Kong's 5 million people still live in the mainland!" Li Xuan suddenly proposed.

The current regulations of the Hong Kong Super League stipulate that even if the ghost guy who is naturalized as a Hong Kong citizen still occupies the quota of foreign aid. This makes the teams of the Hong Kong Super League have no motivation to naturalize foreign aid, and most of the foreign aid from Western Europe has no intention of staying in Hong Kong to settle down, after all, people are just here to pan for gold.

This policy does not have much impact in the Hong Kong league, but it still has a big impact on teams like the East team that enter Asia. Xu Jiankui had previously proposed to Li Xuan that the Oriental team should spend some money to encourage several core players in the team to apply for Hong Kong citizenship.

This is allowed in the AFC's constitution, and some local tyrants in West Asia have begun to play this game! But Li Xuan did not hesitate to veto, and naturalization also means that he can represent the Hong Kong team in international competitions.

You have to know if the Chinese team and the Hong Kong team will be able to meet, can you imagine the picture of the British guys representing the Hong Kong team breaking through the door of the Chinese team? This is very politically incorrect!

Rather than seeing such a bad picture, Li Xuan, a pseudo-fan, would rather not be an Asian champion. But now he has opened his mind, instead of naturalizing the European ghosts, he can dig up the corners of the northern countries.

In any case, Chinese football has not been able to play any tricks in the next 40 years, so it is better to go south and make some contributions to Hong Kong football! Not to mention that if mainland players land in the Hong Kong Super League, they can also promote exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong. For example, when Yao Ming joined the Rockets, many Americans really got to know China again.

"In the past few years, you have been engaged in Jinyuan football in Hong Kong, although it seems to be in full swing on the surface, but the hidden danger is also very big! Although the high-quality European foreign aid has increased the excitement of the game, it has also made the investment of various teams increase dramatically, all because the bosses continue to spend money to support!

But no one's money is blown by the wind, and when the team owners stop spending lavishly, the situation you are making now will collapse in an instant like a castle in the air!

Running a league is like running a company, you can use debt expansion to boost your performance in the short term, but if you want to really become a century-old store, you also need to pursue a balance between financial revenue and expenditure!

So you might as well consider bringing in domestic aid from the mainland, the Chinese team is at least a first-class team in Asia, and those top players are more than enough to play in the Hong Kong Super League! The most important thing is that their salaries are much cheaper than those of the European ghosts!

You have to pay a high price to poach people in Europe, but it's different when you go to the north! Let's not bargain too hard, just quote according to the salary of the current local players, which is enough to poach the main international players!" Li Xuan instigated.

"You want to hollow out the main force of the Chinese team, I'm afraid that the government will not allow it!" Xu Jiankui frowned and said.

The players in the mainland are still getting dead salaries, which is only a fraction of the annual salary of the main players of the Hong Kong Super League. As long as there is no obstacle in the policy of the mainland, the various teams of the Hong Kong Super League will swing their hoes, and it is really possible to hollow out the national team!

"The Hong Kong men's football team has won the ticket to the Beijing-Beijing Asian Games this time, and you, the president of the Hong Kong Football Association, will definitely go north to cheer in person. Take this opportunity to have a good talk with the leaders of the General Administration of Sports of China!

I might as well give you an idea that bringing mainland players to Hong Kong is not only a simple commercial transfer, but also a political-political propaganda war.

Have you ever heard of 'ping pong diplomacy'?

Football, as the number one sport in Hong Kong at present, is the best carrier for bringing the mainland and Hong Kong closer! I just told you that the Huo family should come forward and invite mainland gold medal athletes to visit Hong Kong after the Asian Games.

The meaning of these two is actually the same, in contrast, the Asian Games craze will soon dissipate, and the Hong Kong Super League will start fighting every year!" Li Xuan said this, and finally made the whole idea clear.

Instead of letting the Oriental team go north to participate in domestic competitions, it is not with poaching excellent international players to go south to play in the Hong Kong Super League. In this way, not only the Oriental team, but also the entire Hong Kong Super League, and even the entire Hong Kong football sport, will quickly and closely link with the mainland.

Of course, the reason why Li Xuan took so much trouble to make suggestions to Xu Jiankui is not that he cares much about the long-term development of Hong Kong football, after all, he is just a pseudo-fan.

Hong Kong society has recently been in turmoil, with waves of protests and demonstrations in front of the Governor's Palace, and the Chief Secretary is suspected of being involved in a scandal involving political and business collusion. This series of things that made the British authorities in Hong Kong anxious, if someone carefully investigates, it is not difficult to find that they are all inextricably linked with Li Xuan.

Although he now seems to be pointing the finger at the British authorities in Hong Kong, Li Xuan is not really ready to completely tear his face. As the saying goes, county officials are not as good as they are in charge, and there are still seven years left before the return of 9-7, and Li Xuan is now directly falling out with the British authorities in Hong Kong, and the Oriental Group will have a very difficult time in Hong Kong in the next few years.

And if you want to break ground on the head of the British Tai Sui and show your muscles, but also let the other party throw a mouse trap and dare not blatantly suppress and retaliate, it will test the wrists of Li Xuan and the Eastern Group.

The most critical core of this is that the north side must also be pulled down. As soon as the central government in the north joined the fray, the attention of the British would surely be drawn to it.

Now that Li Xuan has made a single move, he has already made the Hong Kong and British authorities anxious. If this ferocious landlord is really allowed to cooperate closely with the north, the entire British authorities in Hong Kong may be elevated in advance.

After all, the example of Australia next to it is alive and well. The words of Mr. Ho, the "King of Macao", are more effective than the governor of Macao appointed by Portugal.

Do the British really dare to take such a risk?

Li Xuan was very sure that the other party would not dare!

Therefore, his very flamboyant and direct attack on the British authorities in Hong Kong made other Hong Kong businessmen who have always believed that "the people do not fight with the officials" look sideways, and in fact they have already calmly prepared a way out.
