Just the day after the final game, the draw results for the semi-finals came out.

The four groups of matchups are: Santos vs. Pontepreta, Palmeiras vs. Ituano, Portuguese vs. Sao Paulo and Botafogo SP vs. Pena Bolens.

What is somewhat surprising is that Corinthians' name on the original list was replaced by Pena Bolens, and what caused all this was that Corinthians chose to withdraw. But logically speaking,

In terms of ranking, Penabolens' turn was nowhere to be seen, and Li Zhao was puzzled by this issue.

It happened that the team was on holiday, so Figo invited Li Zhao and the others to visit their new home in Sao Paulo, and Li Zhao agreed.

"That's just right. Maybe I can find the answer from my cousin." Li Zhao thought and set off with his family.

Figo's new house is on the coast of Sao Paulo's harbor. He bought an old house from a family who planned to move to Rio. He cleaned it up and it is ready for use. The environment of such a sea-view house is very good. When the weather is good,

You can walk to the beach to play. And the location is also very good. The team's future new base is not far from here.

"Cousin, this place is very lively! Have you ever thought about bringing your cousin and sister over to stay for a while?" Li Zhao was the first to speak after seeing Figo on the balcony.

"Your cousin Helen can come and stay for a while, but Daniela should forget it. Even if she wants to come, she will have to wait until the holidays." Figo said, and the Daniela in his mouth was

She is his daughter, and she is only one year younger than Li Zhao. Because she inherited the excellent genes of her parents, she is now very tall and graceful.

"That's such a pity. It seems that my cousin has a lot of fun with her. It will be more interesting to bring them all together during the next vacation." Li Zhao said with some longing.

"This is a bit far-fetched! Okay, don't hide it, I know these are not the things you want to ask." Figo said.

"Okay, I'm just confused about the appearance of Pena Bolens in the semi-final draw results this time." Li Zhao stated the questions he was thinking about before setting off, including his own thoughts.

"So this is what you asked. In fact, I was a little surprised by this result at first, but it is not difficult to understand. The scope of operation is very large. As for who will take over, the details are very deep." Fei

Ge speculated.

"You mean there's something fishy here?" Li Zhao said somewhat surprised.

"We don't rule out this possibility, but even if we know it, we can't control it. Corruption happens in many places, but the severity is different. Take Pena Bolens as an example, it will appear in the following scenes

The performance of the game is completely different, and there is no guarantee that there will be no problems. Sometimes there will even be some exchange of interests between the teams, and they may join forces to deceive the common opponent. Some teams will even join forces when conditions permit.

, take the initiative to lose a game in exchange for certain economic benefits.

Take Mochi Milin in the last round as an example. He was able to win 4-0 at home against an opponent who was obviously stronger than him. Is there no problem in this? I guess that guy Lao Wadao also knows some inside information, otherwise

With his nature, he should have been unable to sit still for a long time! Going deeper, this matter may also have something to do with the betting company. It should be noted that many clubs also receive sponsorship from the betting company, which will make it easier for them to operate.

Yes." Figo analyzed further.

"It's really the same everywhere! Fortunately, we currently don't have other gambling companies as sponsors, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with some problems. We have to be careful about this kind of situation when looking for sponsors in the future!" said Li Zhaodao.

"Okay, I know that your cousin has recently opened a company like this, but the real major shareholder is you, so you have such ambivalence. From the standpoint of the club and the players, you are against such a company.

Practice, but on the other hand, as a gambling company, you need to control a certain situation. This situation is inevitable even if you win in the five major leagues, but some gambling companies will go too far." Figo said.

"I understand that I will be restrained in this regard and can predict and prevent risks, but I will never do anything that violates the bottom line such as interfering in the game." Li Zhao said.

"Haha, then I can only wish you good luck. Oh, there is one more thing I want to make clear. I will only stay here for this year at most. You still have to solve the head coach problem after one year as soon as possible.

I'm not joking with you, and don't try to tempt me with anything else. But before leaving, I will try my best to help you find a more suitable successor."

"But you are doing very well now. Don't you want to win the Copa Libertadores and become a meritorious coach?" Li Zhao still wanted to give him a pie.

"Don't think about fooling me anymore. Besides, I am also somewhat self-aware. I would rather be a rich man than be a coach. I still regret getting on your pirate ship. If I was really accidentally

Once you become famous for doing this, there will be no peace in the future.

Closer to home, according to my observation, Su Maozhen does have this potential, but he still needs to learn a lot to become an excellent coach. And based on my current level, I estimate that I can only bring the team to this level. You

If you want to go further, you must have a better coach to take charge of the team." Figo said.

"I have never seen a person like you before, and he is the best. But I don't have good channels for hiring coaches. Those famous coaches will not condescend to come to me. Otherwise, I also hope to have Mourinho."

A coach like Ao should lead it!" Li Zhao said.

"Magic Bird, you don't have to think about it for now. Of course, what I'm talking about is only for the time being. If you one day log into the top European leagues, you still have a chance. I have some friendship with him in this regard, mainly because you have enough weight, and this

It's not just about having money. A good coach also values ​​honor and the club's own heritage. It's too early to talk about this now. Instead of counting on those so-called famous coaches, it's better to let your master Xu lead the team.

To be more reliable, at least he still has time now, and it might not be impossible if you can have a good talk," Figo said.

"My master, but he has no experience of coaching abroad. And although he is no longer coaching, he is still indispensable to the Chongming base. It may be possible in the short term, but it is hard to say in the long term." Li Zhaodao

.

"Come on, don't think that I really don't know what's going on. He mainly left the affairs of the base to his disciples. He just focused on the general direction. And he can lead you guys to win something that has never been done before.

There will not be many opportunities like this in the future," Figo said.

"By the way, I also thought of someone. What do you think of Lippi? Maybe he is also possible?" Li Zhao suddenly thought of Silver Fox, who is currently coaching the Evergrande team.

"He~" Figo fell into thinking and said after a while: "Maybe it's not impossible. Since I can go to country C to coach, coming here is not a problem.

But as far as I know, his next goal is the position of head coach of the national team of country C. If he comes to coach here, it will definitely have an impact. Although your national team is indeed difficult to lead, do you think he will be willing to give up that way?
