Going to China for a business competition?

Li Bin did not expect that as soon as Lopetegui took office, he would assign him a task that was not very pleasant.

Sans was a little puzzled by Li Bin's appearance, and at this time, Lopetegui also stepped into the office. After Sans explained the matter, Lopetegui himself also realized that Li Bin was very dissatisfied, he turned his head a little puzzled, looking at Li Bin's expression a little hesitant, "I'm not mistaken, are you Chinese?" Isn't it good for you to take your team to play a game against your national team? We are now the top European team, and playing a game against the Chinese will help them improve their strength, right? Isn't that a good thing? ”

"It's not that I hate playing against the Chinese team." Li Bin shook his head, "What I hate is to go to China to play football, why don't you pull them over and let them play with us in Italy?" ”

"Because they're preparing for the Asian Cup...... I don't understand what's wrong with playing in China, you don't like your country? ”

"No, I like my country, but I don't like us going to my country." Li Bin shook his head and emphasized the word "us," "Because I know very well that when we go to China, we are going to cheat money." As a Chinese, I will certainly feel awkward to take a group of foreigners to cheat Chinese people out of their money. ”

Business competition is to cheat money - this is what Li Bin has always thought.

The so-called business competition has always been rare and unscrupulous. Many teams will play some friendly matches in the summer, and they are used to saying that they are going to backward areas to play football to promote football, or to give back to the fans what they love, but, in fact, to put it bluntly, they have one purpose: to make money.

It stands to reason that football conducts some commercial competitions, just to make money, while warming up in the summer, while playing friendly matches to earn a small millions to subsidize the team's expenses, it is not a bad thing, if it is to play in Italy, Li Bin will not object, but going abroad is different, especially seeing what these players have done after going to foreign countries, Li Bin feels that it is okay to go to other countries to play friendly matches, and return to China to play friendly matches, which is self-deprecating.

Li Bin is very familiar with the virtues of Serie A and even all European teams: for them, friendly games are money, as long as they can get money, other things, the ghost will take care of it. What to give back to the fans or something, in other words, who really cares?

Therefore, sometimes, there are some people who do things that are extremely difficult for fans to accept.

In Li Bin's memory, there are a few things that he is particularly concerned about: during Arsenal's trip to China, fans gathered around the hotel and shouted the names of Nasri and Van Persie for nearly 20 minutes. At that time, Nasri was in a transfer situation, and the fans still held big slogans to keep Nasri. And these two people got in the car from the hotel and went out 20 minutes later, what did they do? didn't stay with the fans to communicate for even a minute, just got into the bus, and then put on headphones and listened to the song, as if the cheers of the fans had polluted their ears.

For some scum players with poor character, coming to China is to make money, and Chinese fans are just some meaty people who are stupid and have a lot of money, what kind of feelings do they talk about?

Another thing that touched Li Bin even more was that during Barça's visit to Asia, they held an event in China, and as a partner of UNICEF, they planned an interaction with children in the earthquake-stricken area to promote the club's image. According to the contract, they are expected to play football with children in the earthquake-stricken area to complete the activity and show their care. This is not such a heavy task, how tiring can it be to play ball with children? But because this is the arrangement of the president of the club, and Pep Guardiola, who was the head coach of Barcelona at the time, has a dirty disagreement with the management, he opposes the Asian tour, and it was just after the World Cup, he has been emphasizing that the main players are tired and should not play commercial games, in order to show his soft resistance, he made an arrangement: because the contract does not stipulate that Barcelona must go to the players of the first team, so he just let the players of the second team play and do not let the main players participate in the activities. In the subsequent shooting game, the Barcelona players refused to shoot the small goal because 'the contract does not stipulate the shooting link'.

This is their attitude towards Chinese fans: love? Feedback? That's. Messi then attended the press conference, all wearing slippers, where is the respect for Chinese fans? Moreover, in the same year, these Spaniards, who attach great importance to the contract, took advantage of the contract loophole to deliberately change people in the friendly match when they played in South Korea, and the Spanish media's evaluation of this was: Guardiola is witty!

In the eyes of the Spaniards, this is witty, the money is in hand, you shouldn't play with you for a minute longer, you can let the players rest, why isn't it witty?

But that's not all: in 2009, Inter Milan and Lazio played the Italian Super Cup at the Bird's Nest Stadium. After the game, all eyes were on Mourinho's scolding of Chinese journalists, but another, even more heinous incident, was overlooked.

Lazio won the championship and began to celebrate: however, when the Lazio team celebrated in the hotel, it blatantly only allowed European fans to celebrate with them, and the entire hotel, Chinese were not allowed to enter. Rather, a Chinese journalist who shouted 'I'm Canadian, I'm not Chinese, I'm Canadian' was allowed to pass in and went inside to celebrate the championship with the Lazio players – what was even more ridiculous was that the reporter was a Juventus fan, but he could enter because he was Canadian, and what about the Lazio fans who came to cheer for Lazio? Hehe, the Chinese also deserve to like Lazio?

On Chinese soil, a group of foreigners, invited by the Chinese, spent money to invite them to come to the game for Chinese fans, but when celebrating after the game, the Chinese were forbidden to enter, and those fans who ran to support them, they were all blocked from the door, but the Juventus fans who were considered enemies could enter, just because he was not Chinese - they almost hung a sign that Chinese and dogs were not allowed to enter, and even so, this was still to carry out friendly activities for the Chinese, Or to repay the long-term love of Chinese fans!

Li Bin has always felt that people who like right-wing teams and think that those extremists on the right can change their ways are a bunch of bastards. These Nazis with deep-rooted racial concepts, hoping that they will change for the better, how is that different from the Arabian Nights?

These things also illustrate one thing: the so-called friendly activities are based on the premise that there is no harm to my own team, and if there is a little conflict, it is better for me to be happy. I'm tired, I don't deserve you to play, I'm not happy, I'll ignore you, I'm a rightist, so I don't treat you as a human being. Everyone is happy to make money, but if it's harmful to your own team - it doesn't matter where you are fans? How can you make our team's grandfathers unhappy? What do you say about valuing Far Eastern fans - when you need to pay for it, they will pay attention to you, but after you pay for it, you still expect the uncles to know you? As a Caucasian master, it is enough for us to know Grandpa Mao's avatar alone, what are you fans?

Therefore, Li Bin has been on stage for two years, but he has never thought of leading the team to play any friendly matches. It was originally to make money, and it is ridiculous to say that friendship, moreover, these players of Parma have never shown any friendship with China - originally they also have no intersection with China, and the Chinese they know are Li Bin and Wan Qi, but with this, they love Li China very much, which is simply impossible - Aiwu and Wu are not so powerful. Their feelings for China cannot be in awe and love, and going to China is not necessarily a good thing.

What's more, Li Bin asked himself if he didn't want the players to do long-distance travel without doing anything, consuming too much physical strength, and taking the team to China for a turn, in a state of fatigue, would he allow the players to do their best? His answer is not necessarily. It's true that he is Chinese, but he is also the coach of Parma, and he doesn't want the players to be too tired, but he can't do it for the sake of fooling the fans for work. If you go back to China, but the result is perfunctory, fooling domestic fans and scolding yourself, why bother?

Therefore, he originally wanted to go to the United States this summer: to cheat the United States of money, and he has no psychological burden. But who knew that he was going to make such arrangements when he came back from vacation, but now, Lopecit arranged it for him as soon as he took office.

"This is a very good opportunity, we went to China, we can play a game with the Chinese national team before the Asian Cup, this is a very rare good opportunity, and playing with the national team, especially the national team of such a big country, can improve the reputation of our team, we should participate in the game with them."

"It's true that China is a big country, but the football population has never been very large. That is to say, we don't make much money there - this truth, you should have known it more than 100 years ago, at that time you sold pianos to China, and now you sell football to China, the potential market is not equal to the existing market, the Chinese market needs to be developed, and we have really developed it, and we may not be cheaper. ”

"We should give it a try." Lopetegui was a little unhappy, but he still persuaded gently, "I have signed an agreement with the Chinese Football Association, this is a good thing, you should agree, I thought you would agree, so I originally wanted to surprise you." ”

"Surprise? You should know that in the game with the Chinese team, although it is not explicitly stated, we can't win, right? Li Bin asked rhetorically.

"It's a friendly match anyway, what's important?"

Well, that is, it's a scam anyway, is posture important......

"Since you've already said it, what else do I say, that is, if I don't agree, I have to agree?" Li Bin understood, Lopegette really didn't pay much attention to the details, "Then if there is a problem next season because of excessive fatigue, yours will be mine?" ”

"Count me in?" Sans opened his mouth on the side, "Li, don't be so excited, there won't be that kind of thing, this matter, I didn't ask you beforehand, it's our fault, we apologize, okay?" ”

Li Bin snorted coldly and stopped talking.

In the past, I didn't pay much attention to the role of Balaldi, but now that I think about it, it was really troublesome to meet a manager I didn't like.

Well, I have to remember this clearly, in the future, no matter what, I have to find a club senior management who is compatible with me to cooperate - this must also be an inspection project.
