Chapter 116: Behind the Scenes
"This Dong Ri Na is really calculating!" Liu Bin held the newspaper in his hand and smiled bitterly, because in the publication of this system, Dong Rina reported a report entitled "Unconfident Huaguo Coach", pointing directly at Liu Bin before the relay final.
"What a meeting with stitches!" This article starts with Liu Bin's low-key, and then extends to the existence of such a lack of self-confidence in sports people throughout China, and then uses the upcoming 08 Olympics to say that sports people should have self-confidence, and only self-confidence will create new peaks, the whole article completely won the favor of the 30-year-old, the new director of the central five sports channel with a deep background, and was vigorously praised by him, and arranged to publish it in internal publications, printed and distributed to coaches across the country to think.
"It seems that the position of deputy director Dong Rina is inevitable, such a villain is in the position, and the athletes will have to be more careful when they speak in the future." Such a well-behaved villain is the most difficult to deal with, and it is necessary to let the athletes under him be careful.
"It's just that I didn't expect us to win the championship and end up cheapening her!" Sure enough, within a few days, the news that Dong Rina was going to be promoted to the deputy director of the sports channel abounded, especially when I heard that the reason why she was chosen above was her correct judgment of Huaguo's relay strength, which made Liu Bin even more annoyed, but he could only suffer this dumb loss.
"What? We didn't get an invitation to the World Championships? Going to play in the December qualifiers? What's going on? Li Xianfeng, who just won the silver medal from Amsterdam, got such bad news as soon as he returned to China, you must know that it is already October, and if you want to participate in the qualifiers in December, you must train immediately, but you still have 2 games to participate, and you have missed a game because of the Asian Games training camp, if you miss two stops, Li Xianfeng is likely to be not qualified to participate in the Golden League year-end finals because of insufficient points.
"I've inquired clearly, it's the Dongying people!" Liu Bin said angrily.
It turned out that three months ago, just after the end of the Asian Games, Nakata, a senior officer of the IAAF, invited Brusan, the vice president of the IAAF, to have dinner at a famous Dongying restaurant.
"Chairman Bu, the invitation list for next year's World Championships relay is about to be released, right?" After three rounds of drinking, Nakata began to get to the point, and while he was cautiously probing, he told the Dongying maid beside Brusan to pour the wine quickly.
"Well, it's coming out soon, why is there anything wrong with Nakata?" Brusan's eyes narrowed, although this Bruno is an authentic black American, he was also an athlete when he was young, but his mind is not simple, he entered the IAAF with the influence of the United States after retiring, and it took 20 years to climb step by step to the position of vice president, enjoying a high reputation within the IAAF, and having the opportunity to compete for the next IAAF president.
"Ahem, it's like this, Chairman Bu, Dongying Tianye wants to know the final invitation list, so that they can prepare their training plan for the second half of the year."
"That's the case, we haven't discussed it finally, just listening to other cadres discuss, it's difficult for you Dongying to receive an invitation." Bruno took a sip of wine and touched the big breasts of the maid next to him by the way.
"Really? That's not a good thing for us to be in the world, and considering that next year's World Championships will be held in Osaka, such a decision is likely to dampen the enthusiasm of the audience. After saying that, Nakata looked at Bruno with a frown, but Bruno ignored his eyes at all, just laughing with the maid next to him.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things, I'll give Chairman Bu a cup." After Nakata finished speaking, he raised his glass, and then he didn't mention the relay matter, and began to talk about interesting things within the Athletics Federation, which made Bruno feel a little itchy in his heart, "Is this guy really looking for me to inquire about the invitation list?" ”
"Chairman Boulev, next year Chairman Javier will leave his post, and you and Van Brent of the Netherlands are the most promising candidates for the next president." Tanaka's seemingly unintentional small talk made Bruno lift his spirits.
"How can it be so easy, you must know that the IAAF has produced four consecutive presidents of American nationality, and it is time to change." Bruno just shook his head modestly, waiting for Tanaka's next words.
Sure enough, seeing Bruno shaking his head, Tanaka hurriedly said excitedly, "That's not what I said, being the chairman still depends on ability, how can you deny people by virtue of nationality?" I am absolutely against that. ”
"But Van Brent has a lot of supporters, not only in Europe, but also in Asia, and I am considered to be weak." Bruno said, his eyes fixed on Tanaka's eyes, as if trying to get some answer.
"How can you be short of supporters? You must know that you have a strong United States of America behind you, and we are very willing to support you. Tanaka said sincerely.
"Oh? Is that really the case? ”
"Of course! I pledge with my personality. ”
"Then I'll be relieved."
The meal was a good match for the guests and the host, Bruno returned to the big bed of the hotel with the two Dongying maids in his arms, and Tanaka also hurriedly reported the good news to the Dongying Athletics Federation.
"So, they invited the team on the grounds that the host country and the historical record are better, and they also reduced the number of places invited?" Li Xianfeng asked incredulously.
"That's right, this is our reply to us after the IAAF protested, and they thought that we lacked the necessary historical achievements, so we could not be invited to participate directly in this World Championships, and we could only participate in the preliminary selection first." Liu Bin said calmly.
"The IAAF has been so dark that it can even ignore the sixth best result in the world this time!" Li Xianfeng said with some indignation.
"Yes, they all shout that sports should let politics go away, but after so many years, when has political struggle left the sports arena?" Liu Bin also sighed deeply, this is not the first time that Huaguo has been treated unfairly outside the sports arena, and it is definitely not the last, in the sports world dominated by Westerners, the Chinese team has always been the weak side, and it is really a long way to go to change this situation.
"So what do we do? How to arrange the training later? "Since the result can no longer be changed, then we can only find a way to face it.
"Xianfeng, you don't have to worry, you still train according to the previous plan, we will find someone to replace you in the relay training, you only need to participate in the group training in the last two weeks before the competition."
"Is that okay?" Li Xianfeng asked suspiciously.
"No problem!" Liu Bin replied in the affirmative.
