Chapter 173: The Fude Football Team
If the wood shows in the forest wind will destroy it, then plant a large forest.
Old Man Huo's suggestion was in line with Zhang Wolf's thoughts.
But he won't be as petty as Huo Lao.
If you want to play football, you have to play the Premier League and take your team to play in the European Cup, so that you can be worthy of your identity.
Now is the time to form a football team, and when Xiangjiang is returned to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, let the football team formed by yourself join the English Football Association.
Go to the Premier League and then represent England in the European Championships.
In this way, the force is strong enough, and it is more beautiful than Abu's Jinyuan football.
It is definitely not an easy task to get the arrogant and stubborn British to accept the Xiangjiang football team, but it is precisely because of this that it is more interesting.
Let the Premier League and the European Cup blow a yellow whirlwind.
It's exciting to think about.
Of course, that's a later story, and the most important thing now is to form a team and participate in the Xiangjiang First Division Football League.
The Hong Kong Football League is a professional football league under the Hong Kong Football Association and the first professional league in Asia.
In 1886, the staff of the British Comptoir established the oldest and continuing football club in Asia, the Hong Kong Football Club, and in 1896, the Hong Kong Football Senior Silver Medal Tournament was founded, which was the first football tournament in Asia.
In 1908, the Xiangjiang First Division Football League was officially established, and the first league had a total of 8 teams participating, namely the five British army teams of the Bafu Army, Navy Dockyard, Artillery, Engineering and Military Medicine, as well as three foreign organizations, the YMCA, the Portuguese Association and the Boy's on Club, all of which were foreign players and no Chinese participated.
In the early years, only foreign players participated in the Hong Kong Football League, and the first 15 Hong Kong First Division Football League championships were monopolized by the British army and foreigners, and it was not until 1923-24 that Nanhua became the first Chinese team to win the First Division championship.
From 1927-28 to 1929-30, China won three consecutive First Division championships, becoming the first team in the history of Hong Kong football to win three consecutive league championships.
After the suspension of World War II, the Xiangjiang Group A Football League resumed in early 1946, and only 10 teams participated in the first competition, with the Air Force winning the championship, the 44th Battalion Golden Crown winning the runner-up, and the East winning the third place.
In the early post-war period, seven Chinese teams competed in the Heung Kong First Division Football League, namely South China, Oriental, Kwong Wah, Kitchee, Sing Tao, Chung Wah and KMB, collectively known as the "Seven Chinese Club".
Zhang Wolf also knows why Old Man Huo is looking for him.
Asia's No. 1 professional league has begun to decline in recent years.
From the 1950s to the early 1980s, it was the heyday of the Heung Kong First Division Football League, and football matches were crazy all over Hong Kong, among which the "South Pakistan War" was even more popular, and fans did not hesitate to wait all night to wait for tickets.
Nanhua, KMB, Kitchee, Sing Tao, Yu Yuen, Tung Wah, as well as Seiko and Bulova in the later period, are all popular teams among fans.
After 30 years of glory, the Xiangjiang Football League suffered serious losses due to the abuse of foreign aid, and in the face of other entertainment competition, the Xiangjiang Football Market began to decline in the mid-1980s, and the three-year "All-Chinese Class" pushed the ball market into decline.
In 1984, Bulova announced his retirement from football, which was regarded by Heung Kong fans as a sign of the decline of the Heung Kong First Division Football League.
Recently, there have been rumors that the Seiko team is also planning to retire from football.
Old man Huo, who loves football deeply, had to come to Zhang Wolf.
Old man Huo asked Zhang Wolf to form a football team and participate in the Xiangjiang Group A Football League, which has to be said to be a wise move.
You must know that Zhang Wolf, the richest man in Asia, is much more famous in Xiangjiang than those first-line stars and film and television action superstars.
Zhang Wolf's participation in the football league can attract the attention of Xiangjiang fans to the stadium again.
"Huo Lao, I've been thinking about it all this time, it's time to form a football team that belongs to the Fude Group!
Football is a sport full of team spirit, which has a good role in promoting and promoting corporate culture. "Zhang Wolf is not the kind of person who twists and turns, since he has decided, he will do it immediately.
"Great! With Zhang Sheng's participation in Xiangjiang Football, it will definitely go to glory!" Old Man Huo didn't expect the purpose of his trip to be achieved so easily, and laughed happily.
"Hehe! Huo Lao, it's just to revitalize the Xiangjiang Group A Football League, I don't have much interest!
My goal is the sea of stars......"
"The sea of stars?" Old Man Huo looked blindfolded.
"Hehe, I mean, I'm aiming for the Premier League and the European Championship!
I want to bring Heung Kong Football to the English Football Association, and then take the Heung Kong Football Team to the European Cup. ”
"Okay! Zhang Sheng is Zhang Sheng! I look forward to the day when Zhang Sheng leads Xiangjiang football to the European Cup and the World Cup!" Old man Huo was also excited by Zhang Wolf's bold words, "I am willing to be Zhang Sheng's pawn and dedicate everything I have to the Xiangjiang football team to impact the European Cup and the World Cup!"
"Huo Lao, you can torture me! How dare I let you be a pawn?
You are a treasure of the Xiangjiang Football Association, I will let you be a pawn, not to mention that Deng Gong will not let me go, even the fans of Xiangjiang will not agree......" Zhang Wolf smiled and complimented Old Man Huo.
"It doesn't matter, as long as Xiangjiang football can regain its glory, what can I do if I give up my old bones?"
"Huo Lao's words are serious, I will arrange people to form a team, and I hope Huo Lao can give more guidance!" Zhang Wolf continued to say politely.
You must know that Mr. Huo is the president of the Xiangjiang Football Association, and he also has a football team under his command, known as the "Royal Forest Army".
It's a pity that this "Royal Forest Army" is not very competitive and has been wandering around Group C.
"Zhang Sheng, don't worry about this, as long as it can be useful to me, you can open your mouth......"
After finishing the business, the next topic became relaxed, and after chatting for a while about Xiangjiang and international and domestic gossip, Huo Lao said goodbye and left.
Zhang Wolf did not perfunctory Huo Lao, and after Huo Lao left, he called Sun Jiahui and asked her to arrange the acquisition of the Seiko football team.
When it comes to the Seiko football team, many people may not know it.
Seiko watches should be known to the watches produced by the little devils.
The Seiko football team is the football team created in 1970 by Huang Chuangshan, the owner of the general agent of Seiko watches, and it is called the Seiko football team.
The Seiko football team obviously has a serious financial deficit and the team has serious losses, and Huang Chuangshan has planned to disband the football team after playing this season.
Zhang Wolf's acquisition of the Seiko football team is based on the players and coaches of the football team.
The Seiko football team has no reputation in the world, but it is definitely a strong team in Xiangjiang.
It is much easier to renovate a football team with such a strong team than to form a new football team.
