Chapter 300: Corinthians' "Electricity Revenge Battle"
Three days after the Ricardo incident was resolved, an article titled "I fought for my country in front, and you dug into the wall in the back" appeared on the headlines of major portals.
The article did not mention the transfer of Ricardo, but disclosed the shameless behavior of a domestic club to privately contact and benefit Chinese players who are representing the national youth selection team in the São Paulo state championship, regardless of FIFA regulations.
There is a lot of content and detail in it, and even the details of the promised contract are made public. The spearhead will be directed to a wealthy club.
For a while, public opinion was in an uproar, not to mention how despicable, shameless, and bad this behavior of reaching out to pick other people's peaches is, the key is that you are digging the corner of the national youth selection team, which is tantamount to digging the corner of the country, it is "betrayal", "collaborator", and "traitor"!
What's even more infuriating is that in the context of the Football Association and the outside world widely calling on the domestic football circle to "manage consumption" and live within their means, the club actually offered such sky-high contracts to young players in order to dig into the corners of others.
You know, this club just took the lead in supporting the "salary limit order" at a meeting of the Football Association not long ago.
This kind of double-faced behavior pushed the club to the forefront at once.
Under the fanning of a group of media reporters and big Vs led by Chen Yong, the situation is even more like a fire and intensifying.
The southern giants club urgently refuted the rumors, and the brand department worked day and night to try to extinguish the fire, but in the face of a large number of facts and details, as well as the crowd, it was like a mantis arm as a car, small and powerless.
In the end, the strong man behind the sponsor of the southern giant club broke his wrist and held an emergency meeting overnight, announcing a series of appointment and dismissal decisions, dismissing the general manager of the club and the principal of the football school on the spot, and demoting the vice president of the group in charge of football several levels.
The club resolutely supports the construction and development of the national team, and is excited by the proud achievements of the domestic brother teams abroad, and actively contributes to the domestic football youth training cause.
Finally, in order to express its care and support for the DB team that has won glory for the country, the group donated 5 million yuan to the DB club free of charge, hoping that they will win glory for the country in the São Paulo State Championship, be positive and enterprising, and make new contributions!
For both clubs, money is small and attitude is more important!
"Tsk, Boss Xu is worthy of being a big boss, that is, he talks about politics, knows how to advance and retreat, and is very good at doing things!"
When he learned that the money had been transferred to the club's account, Gao Yuan sighed sincerely.
Look at people, this is what you can afford to put down! It's a pity that the big stone that I picked up and put down hit my own foot!
Stealing chickens doesn't make rice!
········
During this period, due to the call-up of the Brazilian national youth team and the poaching incident of the southern giants' clubs, the team's performance has been affected and fluctuated to a certain extent.
The team suffered its first defeat in the state championship, losing 1-2 to Botafogo SP, who was not very strong.
With the successive victories of the DB team, the arrogant Brazilian footballers finally changed their attitude and lowered their arrogant heads, and more and more teams did not hesitate to put their buses in the face of DB and played defensive counterattack tactics.
Due to the absence of the strong high school striker Alfonso, the young DB team encountered some problems when breaking the dense defense, although the opponent was pressed on the whole field to attack, and the possession rate once reached 70%, but the attack was too energetic to ignore the defense, regardless of the head, was attacked by the opponent twice, and stabbed twice on the chrysanthemum, the chrysanthemum was full of injuries, and it was also regarded as paying the price for the young.
For this loss, Gao Yuan didn't care about it. I didn't expect to be undefeated in the regular season, and it's not bad to lose now, so it's a good thing to pour cold water on these kids and keep them calm.
Sure enough, this defeat stimulated the DB teenagers, not only made them re-understand themselves, but also stimulated their fighting spirit, and their arrogance was greatly reduced, and they worked harder on the training ground.
In the subsequent training, Gao Yuan strengthened targeted tactical training, and the results were quite good. Coupled with the return of the four young Brazilians and the super cohesion of the team after the "Ricardo transfer incident" was resolved, the team's record began to soar again, singing all the way up the standings.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed quickly, and the regular season reached its final round.
In the current standings, the DB team leads all the way in this group and even tramples the mighty São Paulo under their feet.
Number of goals scored and conceded in team rankings, rounds, points
DB31:35:11
St. Paul 30:44:18
International Rimela 22 minutes 27:29
Mirasso 13:23:31
Ituano 6 minutes 18:42
This result was something that no one expected before the season. The DB team, which was originally regarded as the door to relegation, actually led to the final round of the regular season.
The attitude of Brazilian football public opinion towards this Sino-Brazilian mixed youth army has gradually changed from hostility, ridicule and disdain at the beginning, to the current attention, pursuit and praise.
Who wouldn't want to witness the rise of a young dynasty?
Only the fans of the Sao Paulo team were rather unhappy. My team didn't lose a game, 8 wins, 6 draws and 0 losses, and the number of goals and goal difference was more than DB, but unfortunately there were more draws, so I was trampled under the feet of DB with 9 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.
Such a good result is firmly in the first place in other groups, but the same group comes out more fiercely, how can this be reasonable? The hearts of the São Paulo team are filled with emotion of "both Yu and Liang".
Thankfully, there is still one final round of the regular season to go, and they will face a weaker Ponte Preeta against a weaker side, while DB will be challenged at home by veteran Corinthians.
The Corinthians Club, nicknamed "Timo" and nicknamed "Torpedo Boats", has a long history and a brilliant record, and was founded on September 1, 1910, one of the first teams in São Paulo. The team has won 6 Brazilian league titles, 3 Copa do Brasil titles, 2 Club World Cups, 1 Copa Libertadores, 1 Copa Sur Winners' Cup and 26 São Paulo state championships!
However, Corinthians have not had a good time in recent years, and have not won the championship since winning the Copa Suramericana in 2013. The club's finances have also deteriorated, and even last month, the power department forced a power outage at its headquarters in St. George's Park because of unpaid electricity bills.
The background of the DB team is the State Grid, and several major UHV power projects in Brazil are built and operated by them. So this game was also jokingly dubbed by the media as "Corinthians' Electricity Revenge Battle".
When he saw this news headline, Gao Yuan almost sprayed. Who is so talented! The State Grid is a Chinese company, and Corinthians owe Brazil's electricity bills, in the words of the old man, isn't this using the sword of the previous dynasty to behead the officials of this dynasty?
However, for the Corinthians team, Gao Yuan has a different feeling.
Because in this team, there is an old acquaintance - the former Tarzan team defense core Gil!
In the Chinese Super League last season, Gil left the Taishan team for many years due to family reasons. The Taishan team's defense was greatly affected, and eventually collapsed in the AFC Champions League, league and cup competitions. Li Xiaopeng also failed to become the coach of the national team, and later the Taishan team gave up Vermaelen and introduced Moises at Gao Yuan's suggestion, and Gao Yuan also gained Li Xiaopeng's greater trust and gained more right to speak because of his meritorious advice.
It can be said that Gil's departure has a profound impact on both the Tarzan team and Gao Yuan.
Today, the reunion of the old people thousands of miles away can not make people's hearts surge.
In fact, Corinthians also have a former foreign player of the Tarzan team, Wagner Loew in the front. The former Brazilian international, who once said that "you can train while drinking coffee in the Chinese Super League", has brought countless wonderful moments to the fans of the Taishan team, and has made people feel that football can still be played like this. However, the 37-year-old is only a substitute for the team, and it is unknown whether he will be able to play.
Jill and Loew joined Corinthians with one characteristic, both of which Corinthians did not spend money on. This famous club, which once had stars such as Socrates, Ronaldo, Pato, and Tevez, after the financial deficit, its business strategy has become very chicken-thief, and it likes to do some empty-handed white wolf business, so the squad is full of veterans who have passed their prime.
So this "electricity bill revenge battle" is also a showdown between young upstarts vs outdated veterans.
