Chapter 239: Transfers and Draws

The listing of Jianlibao players has also been going on for a while, and although the Football Association's "layers of obstruction" have scared off a large number of people, there are still some clubs that have stayed.

These clubs have the same characteristics: bad results and no money.

Although the giants are not bad for money, they are not bad for the young players of the Chinese team. They are also happy to see some small Jianlibao come to the East to pan for gold, if it is real gold, it is not too late for them to buy it.

In addition, some giants are just slightly interested in a certain player, and when they hear that the Football Association has so many requirements, they all brush their sleeves away.

Lao Tzu came to you to "load the goods" because he looked at you, but I didn't expect you to "wait for the price and sell", do your spring and autumn dreams!

Society is so realistic, what you regard as a treasure is always not worth mentioning in the eyes of others.

The transfer negotiations did not go very smoothly, and it actually had no impact on the Football Association, the original club and Jianlibao, and they wished that all the players would stay in China and continue to play.

In this way, it will not delay the national team's competition, but also improve the performance of its own club. Why sell your good seedlings to foreigners, and then watch your own club be relegated?

Although the Football Association has begun to develop youth training on the shortage of young talents in domestic football, this kind of thing is not an overnight thing.

Venues, buildings, teachers, teaching, students, income, social evaluation and other aspects must be considered, and you can't just build a building on a piece of land to open a football school. What's more, the first two points alone have already stumped most people.

Among the remaining clubs that are still fighting with the Football Association, there are actually several first-division teams in the four major leagues, but their results are basically in the middle and lower reaches.

To put it bluntly, after pawning his belongings with poor results last season, he could only come to the East to pan for gold. In fact, they are not very opposed to paying "three cents", as long as the "three cents" add up to be cheaper.

If you really value the talent and potential of a player, there are actually few left. And even if all the conditions are negotiated in the end, if the person concerned is unwilling to go, it is not necessary to talk.

So in the past few days, the Football Association has not only dealt with those foreigners, but also kept sending people to Jianlibao and these eight people to do ideological counseling.

Weak Europe is not necessarily better than elsewhere, and the environment is not necessarily bad elsewhere.

For example, Japan's Kashima antlers attach great importance to Li Tie's ability to fight. They already have a sharp striker like Atsushi Yanagisawa and are in dire need of a solid defender to solidify their defence, and Li Tie is exactly what they need.

Although Kashima Antlers is very sincere and willing to pay tripartite fees to Liaozu, the Football Association and Jianlibao, and agrees that Li Tie will return to China at any time to participate in international competitions, Li Tie himself is not very optimistic about Japan's J League.

In his words, Japan sends good players to Brazil every year, and I can play in Brazil now, so why should I go to Japan? Our domestic league is not much later than Japan, and it is better to play at home than to play in Japan.

Therefore, although the Football Association and Kashima Antlers are very happy to facilitate this transfer, it has been temporarily delayed because of Li Tie himself.

There are also lift teams like Nancy, who have been in the middle of Ligue 1, and their scouts are amazed by Li Jinyu's ability to grab points. After analysis, it was unanimously agreed that if Li Jinyu came to Nancy, he would definitely help the team achieve better results.

I can't say that I will go to the Champions League, but it will definitely be no problem to play in the Europa League and the International Toto Cup. If you're lucky, you might even win the French Cup.

However, Nancy and there was a conflict about Li Jinyu's playing time, saying that since Li Jinyu wanted to accept the national team call-up unconditionally, the appearance of other times must be arranged by the club. Especially in the first season he joined, he himself lacked many games, and there was no reason to arrange the remaining playing opportunities for him unconditionally, which was unfair to the other players.

So although Li Jinyu prefers France with a romantic capital, the issue of appearance rate has also been delayed.

Among the eight Jianlibao people, the first to reach a "deal" was Sun Jihai.

With the green light of Boss Wang Yilin, the negotiations between Sun Jihai and the Premier League Manchester City team are progressing very smoothly.

Considering that Sun Jihai has become an international player of the Chinese team, there are still many international matches to play between the 98 World Cup. Manchester City first bought Sun Jihai from Dalian Wanda, and then loaned Dalian Wanda for a year.

In this way, Sun Jihai has not only become a Premier League player, but also has a one-year buffer time, so that he does not have to suffer from the fatigue between the two places. And Sun Jihai can also take advantage of this time to learn English, after all, after going abroad in the future, he can't afford to hire a 24-hour translator.

In this way, Sun Jihai changed from a "native" of Dalian Wanda to a "foreign aid".

Sun Jihai's smooth transfer is something that the Football Association has long thought of, and in fact, the Football Association's inclusion of Sun Jihai in these eight people is actually a "buffer".

If the transfer does not go well, then at least Sun Jihai will definitely succeed in the transaction; If the transfer is unusually hot, then Sun Jihai can be the one with "+1", free from the "three-person quota".

In short, the Football Association has taken into account everything that can be thought of, and Sun Jihai has also determined that he is not an ungrateful person after long-term observation by the Football Association.

Time passed day by day, and except for Sun Jihai, there was no transfer of any player.

At this time, the major European leagues have also entered the summer transfer period, and the clubs are mainly focusing on the European transfer market. Therefore, more often than not, the staff dispatched to China do not even get a reply from the person in charge, and although there are transatlantic phone calls, it usually takes two or three days for a message to be delivered, and the progress of the negotiations naturally slows down.

And when they saw the "all the routines" of the Football Association, many scouts were expecting the club to reap a bumper harvest in the European market as soon as possible, and they really didn't want to face the greedy faces of Jianlibao and the players' local clubs.

A few foreigners want to stay in China but because of food and drink, there is no way, there are too many snacks in China. There are all kinds of food that they can't hear or see in Europe, and if it weren't for financial constraints, they wouldn't even want to go back home.

......

On July 20, Wang Junsheng took Qi Cuosheng and Ladd to fly to the FIFA headquarters in Switzerland to participate in the group draw ceremony of the "Top 10" of the Asian Zone of the World Cup Qualifiers held there on the 22nd.

The previous draws for the Asian qualifiers of the World Cup were organized by the AFC, and the transfer of the draw ceremony to the FIFA headquarters shows that FIFA attaches great importance to the development of Asian football. After all, the Chinese team has just won the World Youth Championship, and FIFA has to start paying attention to this continent where football is weakest.

In addition, FIFA also wants to show its own ability to deal with difficult problems.

As early as last year, the AFC issued a clear rule to the participating countries that the matches in the qualifying stage will be played in one of three ways.

A: Each group of the group stage is composed of several teams, and the home-and-away format is adopted, with 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and no points for a loss.

B: Each team plays one game at home and away (knockout format).

C: Tournaments can be played in a particular country or neutral region only with approval.

At present, the Asian qualifiers are divided into ten groups, and the Chinese team and the other nine group winners participated in the final stage.

The nations that came to Zurich to participate in the draw did not question the format of the three matchups, but there was a strong dispute over the choice of the final venue for the "Top 10".

"Do you know why Asian football has been lagging behind for so long?" Ladd asked while he was on the plane.

Wang Junsheng looked puzzled, he obviously didn't expect Ladd to ask such a question.

"Mr. Ladd, why is that?" Wang Junsheng said humbly.

"Because of disunity." Ladd said softly.

"Mr. Ladd, before the international competition, there was not so much righteousness and selflessness." Qi Weisheng shook his head after listening to it.

Asian football is backward, and Asians know the importance of unity. But if this "unity" is built on sacrificing one's own interests, I am afraid that no country will be so noble.

Europe is a small country, with only a few countries in its center. Wherever the qualifiers are held, it is not so important for Europeans.

But this is not the case in Asia, with Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates insisting on holding the final in Bahrain, China, Japan and South Korea insisting on Singapore or Kuala Lumpur, and Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan being contested by West and East Asian teams.

The AFC has a good relationship with East Asian countries, and the Chinese team has performed extraordinarily in the World Youth Championships, so it is natural to stand on the side of East Asian countries.

The countries of West Asia are resolutely opposed to this and are intent on expanding the contradictions. In this way, if no effective measures are taken, it will not only affect the course of the game, but also exacerbate the division of Asian football, so Villapan cleverly left the problem to FIFA to solve.

On July 21, the Emergency Committee of the FIFA World Cup Organizing Committee, chaired by Chairman Johansson, held a discussion at FIFA headquarters on the issue of the Asian World Cup qualifiers.

In the end, all members of the committee agreed that the Asian qualifiers should adopt the A way, rejecting the AFC's decision to adopt the C way, which surprised the ten participating countries.

Based on the ten participating countries submitted by the AFC, FIFA decided to split into two groups. The top of the two groups qualify directly for the World Cup finals, while the second place in the group will face off over two legs, with the winner also qualifying. The loser was not completely defeated, and faced the winner of the Oceania qualifiers for the last qualifying spot over two legs.

The ten teams had no objections to the three formats before, so they did not object after hearing the results. The meeting continued with the second item of discussion on the question of the location of the competition.
