Li Bin did not expect that Lopetegui would be assigned an unpleasant task as soon as he took office.
Sanz was a little confused about Li Bin, and at this time, Lopetegui also entered the office. After Sanz explained the matter, Lopetegui himself also realized that Li Bin was very dissatisfied, and he twisted in confusion.
He turned his head and looked at Li Bin's expression with some hesitation, "I'm not mistaken.
Well, are you Chinese? Wouldn't it be a good thing for you to take your team to play a game with your national team? We are now a top European team and play a game with the Chinese
, it will be very helpful for their strength improvement, right? Isn’t this a good thing?”
"What I hate is not playing with the Chinese team." Li Bin shook his head. "What I hate is going to China to play. Why not bring them over and let them play with us in Italy?"
"Because they are 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 "we", "Because I know very well that when we go to China, we are going to cheat money. As China
Of course I would feel awkward if I brought a group of foreigners to defraud Chinese people out of their money."
Business competitions are about cheating money - this is what Li Bin has always thought.
There are very few so-called commercial games that are not a scam. Many teams will play some friendly games in the summer, and they are used to talking about going to backward areas to play football to promote the development of football, or to give back.
Fans like it and so on, 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. It is not a bad thing to earn a few million to subsidize the team's expenses by playing friendly matches while warming up in the summer. Li Bin would not object if the competition was played in Italy.
, However, going abroad is different, especially after seeing what these players did after going abroad, Li Bin felt that it was just a matter of going to other countries to play friendly matches, and returning to China to play friendly matches was asking for trouble.
Li Bin is very familiar with the ethics of Serie A and even European teams: for them, friendly matches are just about getting money. As long as they can make money, other things are left to the devil. What about giving back to the fans, that is to say
After all, who really cares?
Therefore, sometimes, some people do things that are extremely difficult for fans to accept.
In Li Bin's memory, there are several things that particularly concern him: During Arsenal's trip to China, fans gathered around the hotel and shouted the names of Nasri and Van Persie for nearly minutes. Nasri was making a fuss at that time.
transfer, fans also held up big banners to persuade Nasri to stay. And these two people were
Minutes later, they got on the bus and went out from the hotel. What did they do? They didn't stay to communicate with the fans for even a minute. They just got on the bus, then put on their headphones and listened to the song, as if they were cheering from the fans.
It's all polluting their ears.
For some scumbag players with bad character, coming to China is just to make money. Chinese fans are just thick, stupid and rich people. What kind of emotions are they talking about?
Another incident touched Li Bin even more: When Barcelona visited Asia, they held activities in China. As a partner of UNICEF, they planned an interaction with children in earthquake-stricken areas to promote the club's image. According to the contract
According to the regulations, they should complete the activity by playing football with the children in the earthquake-stricken areas to show their care. This is not a heavy task at first. How tiring can it be to play ball with children? But because this is the arrangement of the club president, and the then Barcelona coach
coach's melon
Diola had a nasty feud with the management. He opposed the Asian trip. In addition, it was just after the World Cup. He had been emphasizing that the main players were tired and should not play commercial games. In order to show his soft resistance, he made
Arrangement: Because the contract does not stipulate, Ba
Cerrone had to be a player of the first team, so he just let the players of the second team play football and did 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 aspect'.
This is their attitude towards Chinese fans: Love? Give back? That’s nonsense. Messi later attended the press conference, all wearing slippers. Where is the respect for Chinese fans reflected? Moreover, in the same year, these
The Spaniard, who attaches great importance to the contract, took advantage of the loopholes in the contract when playing in South Korea and deliberately substituted one more player in the friendly match. The Spanish media commented on this: Guardiola is extremely witty!
In the eyes of the Spaniards, this means being extremely witty. If you get the money, I shouldn't play with you for even one more minute. You can let the players rest, so why aren't you extremely witty?
But this is not the most resentful thing: In 2009, Inter Milan and Lazio held an Italian Super Cup match at the Bird's Nest Stadium. After the game, people focused on Mourinho's scolding of Chinese reporters.
Well, another even more outrageous thing was ignored.
Lazio won the championship and started celebrating: However, when the Lazio team celebrated in the hotel, they blatantly allowed only European fans to celebrate with them. No Chinese were allowed in the entire hotel. However, a Chinese reporter shouted loudly
Chanting 'I am Canadian, I am not Chinese, I am
The Canadians were later allowed to pass 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 was allowed in because he was a Canadian and came to support Lazio.
What about the cheering Lazio fans? Haha, the Chinese deserve to like Lazio too?
On Chinese soil, a group of foreigners were invited by the Chinese and paid a price to come and play games for Chinese fans. However, during the celebration after the game, Chinese people were not allowed to enter. Those fans who came to support them, they
They are all blocked from the door, but it can be regarded as
Fans of the enemy Juventus can enter, just because he is not Chinese - they almost put up a sign that Chinese people and dogs are not allowed, and even so, this is still a friendly activity for the Chinese, and it is for the sake of
Give back to Chinese fans for their long-standing love!
Li Bin has always felt that people who like right-wing sports teams and believe that those extremists on the right can change are a bunch of bastards. These Nazis, whose racial concepts are deeply rooted in their bones, expect them to change, is that any different from fantasy?
These things also illustrate one thing: the so-called friendly activities are all based on the premise that there is no harm to my team. If there is a slight conflict, it is better for me to be happy. If I am tired, I don’t deserve it.
If you are playing, I will not be happy and I will ignore you. I am a rightist, so I will not treat you as human beings. Everyone is happy to make money, but if it is for my own ball
Is the team in harm’s way? Who cares where you are from? How can you make our team’s bosses unhappy? What do you mean by valuing fans from the Far East? I will value you when I need you to spend money, but you have spent all your money.
, you still expect the elders to know you? As white gentlemen, it is enough for us to recognize Grandpa Mao’s profile picture. Who are you fans?
Therefore, it has been two years since Li Bin came to power, but he has never thought about leading the team to play any friendly matches. Originally, it was just to make money, and talking about friendship is ridiculous. Moreover, these players from Parma have never performed well.
There is no friendship at all with China - they have nothing to do with China in the first place.
, the only Chinese people they know are Li Bin and Wan Qi, but just based on this, it is impossible for them to love Li Zhongguo extremely - Aiwujiwu is not that powerful. They love China
His feelings cannot be that of awe and love. Going to China is not necessarily a good thing.
What's more, comparing his feelings with his own, Li Bin asked himself that he didn't want the players to travel long distances without any work, consume too much energy, and take the team around China. In a state of fatigue, would he allow the players to try their best?
?His answer is not certain. He is
It is true that he is Chinese, but he is also the coach of Parma. He does not want the players to be too tired, but it is not impossible for him to fool the fans for the sake of work. If he goes back to China, but the result is perfunctory and fools the domestic fans, he will
Why bother looking for scolding yourself?
Therefore, he originally wanted to go to the United States this summer: to defraud the United States of money, he had no psychological burden. But who knew that he was going to make such an arrangement when he came back from vacation, but now, Lopaget made arrangements for him as soon as he took office
alright.
"This is a very good opportunity. We went to China and could play a game with the Chinese national team before the Asian Cup. This is a very rare and good opportunity to compete with the national team, especially the national team of such a big country.
The competition can greatly improve the reputation of our team, and we should participate in the competition with them."
"It's true that China is a big country, but the football population has never been very large. In other words, we can't make much money there - you should have known this more than 100 years ago, when you were selling to China
Pianos are just like selling footballs to China now. The potential market is not equal to the existing market. The Chinese market needs to be developed, and if we do develop it, we won’t know who will get the advantage.”
"We should give it a try." Lopetegui was a little unhappy, but still persuaded him gently, "I have signed an agreement with the Chinese Football Association. This is a good thing. You should agree to it. I also thought you would
I would agree, so I originally wanted to give you a surprise."
"Surprise? You should know that, although it is not stated clearly, we cannot win against the Chinese team, right?" Li Bin asked rhetorically.
"It's a friendly match anyway, what's the important thing?"
Well, that is to say, it is a money scam anyway, so posture is very important...
"Since you have already agreed, what else can I say, that means I have to agree even if I don't agree?" Li Bin understood. Lopaget really didn't pay special attention to the details, "Then what's next?
If something goes wrong during the season due to over-fatigue, will it be yours or mine?"
"Can you please count it on me?" Sanz said from the side, "Li, don't be so excited, nothing like that will happen. It's our fault that we didn't ask you beforehand about this matter. We apologized, okay.
?”
Li Bin snorted coldly and stopped talking.
In the past, I never paid much attention to Barardi's role. Now that I think about it, meeting a manager I don't like is really troublesome.
Well, you have to remember this clearly. In the future, no matter what, you have to find a club executive who can get along with you to cooperate - this must also be an inspection project.
