Chapter 471: The Emperor's New Clothes
It's the height of summer, and all the five major European leagues have come to an end. Premier League champion Manchester United, La Liga champion Real Madrid, Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich, Serie A champion Juventus, Ligue 1 champion Paris Saint-Germain.
Qu Bai came to Liu Yun's house today as a guest.
Liu Xiaoyan was upstairs coaxing a little coke with Isabella. Liu Yun and Qu Bai were chatting in the living room.
The topic of two people is naturally inseparable from football.
Qu Bai said to Liu Yun: "Uncle Liu. In my opinion, the current five major leagues, except for La Liga, the other four have absolutely dominant teams. Like Serie A, Juventus has won seven consecutive titles. Manchester United have won the Premier League seven games ahead of schedule this year. Grand Paris is also a standout in Ligue 1. Not to mention Bayern, who also won five consecutive titles. Only La Liga, Real Madrid, and Barcelona compete for supremacy. Feng Shui takes turns, and champions take turns to do it. β
Liu Yun nodded: "That's right." Don't talk about those who are far away, but talk about your bijia. You've been playing in the league for a year, what did you learn? β
Qu Bai replied: "The league should be regarded as a third-rate league in the world. I've made a rating of leagues around the world. β
Liu Yun came interested: "The world's third-rate league? Divide it yourself? What are the total number of professional leagues in the world? β
Qu Bai replied: "Of course, the top five leagues are the top five leagues; second-rate, Eredivisie, Portuguese Super League, Brazilian League, A-League; The third tier is the Belgian League, the Swiss Premier League, the Russian Premier League, and some leagues in Eastern Europe. The fourth tier is the African South African League and the Algerian League. The fifth rate... It is equal to not entering the stream. The rest can be classified as a fifth stream. β
Liu Yun was surprised: "What about Hua Chao? Also considered fifth-rate? β
Qu Bai nodded: "That's right!" At most, the Chinese Super League is in the middle and upper reaches of the world's fifth-rate league. Stronger than leagues from backward countries in Southeast Asia and Black Africa. β
Liu Yun laughed and said, "You kid really dare to say it!" Have you watched the recent top 10 top salaries of world football players? Luo and Messi's weekly salaries can't catch up with those big-name players in the Chinese Super League. β
Qu Bai shook his head: "Uncle Liu." The Emperor's new clothes are just that! smashed billions or tens of billions, bought a group of big-name foreign aids, and occasionally won the average AFC Champions League championshipγγγγγ Think you're a world-class league? Bare-chested people, even if everyone says your clothes are beautiful, you are still bare-chested! Everyone knows in their hearts that you are naked, but you are unwilling to say anything because of your wealth! Uncle Hua, let me ask you, are you watching the broadcast of the Chinese Super League on the Internet now? β
Liu Yun shook his head: "Since the 01 vacation A five rat incident, I haven't watched the domestic league in the past ten years. β
Qu Bai said: "Uncle Liu." Many of my friends are playing in the Chinese Super League. That's why I usually follow the games of the Chinese Super League. Let's put it this way. Except for the occasional brilliant performance of foreign aid, Huachao is useless! β
Liu Yun handed Qu Bai a banana: "Are you in the black foreign aid system?" Which of the giants of the five major leagues does not rely on foreign aid to win the world? β
Qu Bai's head shook like a rattle: "Uncle! Miss by a mile! The league quality of the big five leagues is there. Buying excellent foreign aid can drive the improvement of the league level, and at the same time drive the level of domestic players to follow, and other domestic players can shine in the World Cup and the European Cup. Isn't it because the quality of the league is high, and the ability of domestic players can be improved in the league? In my opinion, the success of the league is not judged by whether the league team can win the club continental championship! It's about the domestic players, oh, that is, whether the results of the national team can improve with the popularity of the league! β
Liu Yun asked Qu Bai: "You are a bit of a contradiction. Didn't you say that the Brazilian league is the second-rate league in the world? Why is the national team world-class? β
Qu Bai took a bite of the banana: "Why?" Because poor! The billions and tens of billions of dollars that the Chinese Super League smashes into every year are smashed into the Brazilian First Division, and the level of the Brazilian League can surpass the five major leagues, do you believe it or not? You are looking at the Chinese Super League, yes, this team's foreign aid has the highest salary in the world, that team's foreign aid salary is the third in the world, this salary is over Messi, and that is over Ronaldo. But at the end of the day? Has the level of the national players improved? β
Qu Bai paused and continued: "In the past, we had three black minutes, and we carelessly lost Jingzhou, and that was because we could still enter the top 12 or top 10!" And there is a great chance to make it to the World Cup finals. Look at it now, how many years has the national football team not entered the top 12? Last year, when we entered the top 12 match, fans had to set off firecrackers to celebrate! In the top 12 matches, winning the world's fifth-rate national teams such as Qatar and Syria will take half a day! β
Liu Yun laughed: "Xiaobai, if you say these things to the domestic media." Those domestic media will definitely say that you are arrogant! You must know that before Pipiru became the head coach of the national football team, he was the meritorious coach of the Yuedonghou team. Led Hou Da to win the AFC Champions League! He said that the level of the Chinese Super League is now on par with the five major leagues. Hou Da plays Serie A and can play to the level of the middle and upper reaches of Serie A. β
Qu Bai threw the banana peel into the garbage can: "My Uncle Liu! Don't mention that Pipiru! I have a friend in the reserve team of the Hou University of Eastern Guangdong. He told me that Pipiru's reputation in the Hou Brigade had long been stinky! I'll tell you about his business experience, yes, not football, but business! β
Qu Bai crossed his fingers and said, "All of Hou Da's reinforcements have passed through Pipiru's son's economic company. Buy a group of sky-high players, and the economic company can make a lot of money! β
Liu Yun said: "Hou Da's boss is a shrewd businessman. Would he not know about such a thing? β
Qu Bai said: "I know! And it's like watching the fire! But we Chinese people are smart and smart, and we will pretend to be confused! The sky-high price of excellent foreign players can improve the team's results in a short period of time. As long as you have results, you make some money that you shouldn't make, and I will turn a blind eye. You know, Chinese businessmen are not short of money now! Chinese people abroad are even synonymous with the rich! Then, with foreign aid, you will win a world third-rate continental championship, and as soon as the media blows, you will be a myth of the head coach! Fame and fortune! Pipiru's abacus is crackling! He is in his 70s and has long since announced his retirement. At the age of 70, did he really come to China to carry forward the spirit of internationalism? Not necessarily, right? It's nothing more than that I think we have a lot of money over there, and people are stupid! β
Qu Bai poured Liu Yun a cup of tea: "Uncle Liu." You just said that he praised the Chinese national league as world-class, and Hou Da can play in the middle and upper reaches of Serie A? Ha, this old guy really has a lot of fun with the Chinese people. I know that Chinese people should wear high hats! Don't praise you Hou Da for being so powerful, so powerful, how can you show my old leather ability? Look, the team in the world's fifth-rate league has led me to the middle and upper reaches of Serie A, how capable am I? β
Liu Yun said: "Tell me, what is the reason why the league spends so much money, but the level still can't go up?" β
Qu Bai thought about it and replied seriously: "Caused by the domestic environment!" Shaw, do you remember? The best newcomer of our Hua C League. Now playing the main force in Yanjing Gui'an, he is praised by the media as a star of hope for Chinese football! I have a good relationship with him. At one point, he had to play a crucial game the next day. I called him in Belgium to ask him how he was doing. When I called him, Yanjing time was supposed to be 9 o'clock at night. As soon as I called, I knew he was in a nightclub. The laughter of a group of women on the side. β
Liu Yun was surprised: "Are you still in a nightclub the day before the important game? β
Qu Bai nodded: "Uncle! That's right! I asked him, how are you going to play tomorrow if you toss so much? Guess what people say? Anyway, the players of the opposing team should also be in the nightclub at this point. If you want to be a hollow big radish, you will be a hollow big radish tomorrow! He should have drunk too much at the time, and in the end, he said to me meaningfully: Xiaobai, our brothers have a good relationship. Brother let you make a small fortune. You Oupan should have the number of games in the Chinese Super League. Tomorrow's game, buy Gui An lose! Don't buy too much, buy one or two thousand euros, and make a small profit! β
When Liu Yun heard this, he could already be described as shocked: "You mean, there are still buying and selling balls over there?" β
Qu Bai said: "I don't dare to say whether I bought or sold balls. I didn't listen to what he bought. Anyway, Gui'an lost the next day. Mysterious uncle? β
Liu Yun and Qu Bai chatted for three hours, and finally he sighed: "A group of senior Chinese football people have not seen it thoroughly as a child of yours." No, maybe they have seen through it a long time ago. It's just that, as you said, when the emperor's new clothes are put on, everyone can get rich. Players fool the club, and the club fools the fansγγγγγγ Fooling around, the level of football naturally becomes a paste. β
