1155 A good relationship
If we want to trace back to the originator of the gold dollar football in modern football, Blackburn, who won the Premier League championship in the Premier League that year, was considered a person. However, at that time, the gold dollar football was just for the British to entertain themselves. After winning the Premier League championship, the boss of Blackburn said a famous saying: This championship made people know Blackburn on the map!
Blackburn's success was just a flash in the pan. Behind the gold and dollar football is the love and feelings for football.
As soon as Abraham takes over Chelsea, the impact of gold and dollar football on the entire European football world has driven the wheel of history.
Whether Abu was seeking a talisman for leaving the Russian political arena, or whether he was really full of love and ultimate magical dreams for football, he was successful!
People who disdained Abu's ruble back then would say that money cannot make football successful, but now people have changed their words. Football cannot succeed without money!
Later, the Abu Dhabi consortium took over Manchester City, the rise of Paris Saint-Germain, and teams such as Monaco and Anzhi were filled with gold and dollar football.
In the past, most people who invested in football were out of simple love, but now it is much more complicated.
Some people expect to get a ticket to the upper class through European football, some people expect to gain popularity through football, and some people simply want to make a fortune from the football market.
No matter what the reason is, even though the real world has experienced many huge financial crises, the football market has stood firm and has always flourished and developed rapidly. Sky-high broadcast fees, sky-high transfer fees, sky-high annual salary, sky-high commissions, as long as things related to football are involved in contemporary times, nothing will be cheap.
Saudi Chief Salman prepared a table of good wine and dishes for Situ Yunbing, and sat opposite Situ Yunbing by the window. Through the window, you can overlook the beautiful and even somewhat dreamy night view of Riyadh. The world of rich people can always create many pleasing things, and Dubai is the best example.
Salman did not make any excessive demands on Situ Yunbing without a rough voice. He politely discussed the current situation in European football and described his interest in football while having dinner with Situ Yunbing.
Situ Yunbing reserved his opinion on his enthusiasm. Although he was a person who was basically not very concerned about other than football and family, he also knew something about Saudi Arabia itself.
Saudis are rich because of oil resources, but oil is not inexhaustible. Saudi Arabia has begun to invest globally in recent years to ensure that they can get rid of their dependence on the oil economy in a possible not distant future.
Compared with a trillion-dollar investment, football may account for a small proportion of their overall strategic layout, but things must be done step by step. When wealth accumulates to a certain level, if you want to invest, it is not as simple as shouting loudly about what I want to buy.
For example, Saudi Arabia can buy a company with a market value of US$50 billion. In everyone's opinion, the company with US$50 billion is genuine and the transaction price is reasonable. But do they have enough professional talents to manage and develop this company?
If the company still has a market value of US$50 billion in ten years, how much is it to lose in these 10 years?
In addition, each industry and field has its own rules and gameplay, so it is not that easy for laymen to get in.
The Soviet Union was disintegrated by several experts who formulated the privatization of state-owned enterprises. Too many lessons made the richer people more cautious when investing.
Saudi Arabia cannot put eggs in one basket, and it is definitely not just about football in the global strategy and sports industry.
Salman's request for Situ Yunbing is almost impossible!
In the eyes of others, his current situation is both a luxury car fleet and a luxury hotel reception for Situ Yunbing. For Salman, this may not be even a drop in the bucket!
Situ Yunbing has not had a wide range of connections in European football, but he also has his own social circle, such as several big-name agents, several club owners, and some Football Association officials.
He himself also has great prestige and has not done many things, but if he does, he dare not say anything and respond. At least his appeal is absolutely amazing.
Salman expressed his idea of investing in football, and also tentatively asked Situ Yunbing if he had any intention to return to European football after finishing coaching the Chinese team.
The subtext of course is that if Situ Yunbing is willing to return to European football, then Salman is willing to cooperate with Situ Yunbing. The former is rich and the latter is capable. I believe this will be a sure profit and no loss.
Being a football coach is nothing more than selling skills. It is definitely not embarrassing to bet on you if you value it.
After all, this is also a very challenging and stressful job in itself.
Situ Yunbing clearly expressed to Salman that even if he finished coaching the national team, he would not return to European football immediately. He needed to give his family more time!
No matter how successful or failure he will be in coaching the Chinese team this time.
If he succeeds, he wants to make up for these days when he leaves them. If he loses, his remaining time will not make him have the fighting spirit to coach the team. He will cherish the remaining time to accompany his family.
Salman was not disappointed. After all, his plan to invest in football may be implemented in the next two years, and Situ Yunbing will definitely not be able to step down as head coach of the national team at that time.
But when he became friends with Situ Yunbing, he could treat Situ Yunbing as an advisor in many things and make a good relationship without worrying about the current interests and losses.
Besides, this is simply a deal that is not a good deal for Salman.
The two of them had a pleasant dinner. Situ Yunbing just regretted that if they could have a beautiful night view, it was a pity that the person opposite was not Siglid and his children.
His future life can be long or short. In order to have more opportunities and time to spend such comfortable time with his family in the future, he still cannot be slackened at all.
Salman did not disturb Situ Yunbing anymore. Since he had become friends, he would keep a good distance.
The Chinese team began preparing for the battle in Saudi Arabia, and they only have one day to prepare for the battle!
The players showed great discomfort, perhaps because of the impact of travel or the impact of hot weather. Anyway, the Chinese team is not doing well in preparing for the game.
Situ Yunbing had foreseeed this, but in fact, even the coaches would feel uncomfortable due to the hot weather, let alone the players?
When the pre-match press conference arrived, Situ Yunbing was asked by reporters about his dinner with Salman. It was no secret, but the outside world would be curious about what he talked to Salman.
Maybe it's "conspiring" to something earth-shaking!
Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "I and Chief Salman were just discussing the matter about investing in European football. His interest and hobbies in football are well known. However, there are so many leagues in European football and so many clubs in each league. He encountered troubles in choosing clubs. I gave him some suggestions, but no results were discussed. He would have his own judgment and decisions, which I would not interfere with."
Situ Yunbing was very calm and had nothing to hide. The more he hid it, the more likely he would cause a lot of thoughts from the outside world.
Speaking of tomorrow night's game, Situ Yunbing solemnly said: "I think we will encounter an extremely difficult game tomorrow at King Fahd Stadium. Many people say that we defeated Australia and Japan away, but not to South Korea. We will definitely be at ease in the away game against Saudi Arabia.
I think this is an extremely wrong view. For the outside world, they will forget the specific performance of the Chinese team and the specific performance of the opponents a month ago. They will only remember the scores and use the score results to imagine the game process. But in fact, the strength of the Chinese team is far from as strong as the record.
And this away game in Riyadh will be even harder to play!
This will be the hardest away game I have ever played since I coached the national team!”
Situ Yunbing said this a bit heavy, and some media think he was just an alarmist statement, which was used to warn the Chinese team to prevent the Chinese team from being proud of their victory in the last game.
In an interview before the game, Saudi coach Pi Ji said that Saudi Arabia needs to face this friendly match solemnly and seriously.
Although Saudi Arabia, like the Chinese team, returned home after the group stage ended in the World Cup, in the end, Saudi Arabia's overall ranking was higher than that of the Chinese team because they won one victory, while the Chinese team only got two draws.
However, Piji believes that the Chinese team actually performed very well in the World Cup. They led the Spanish team twice and lost to Portugal with only one goal. The performance is impressive. If they can defeat Morocco, the Chinese team may advance to the top 16 of the World Cup!
In comparison, it is a bit ugly that Saudi Arabia was beaten 5:0 in the opening match by Russia.
In addition, after Situ Yunbing took office, his strength of the Chinese team has improved significantly, and it is normal for Saudi coach Pi Ji to be quite afraid of the Chinese team.
He coaches Saudi Arabia and it is important to affirm his appearance in front of a group of world-class tycoons!
No matter what, you can't be embarrassed at the door of your house!
Situ Yunbing led a team to Saudi Arabia to play the game, which attracted many Saudi tycoons to watch. At the King Fahd Stadium, Situ Yunbing looked at the stadium with an attendance rate of about half.
This is just a friendly match after all, and you can't be too demanding.
Standing by the side of the court, Situ Yunbing felt very uncomfortable in his suit because he had already sweated all over during the day, took a shower and changed his clothes. As a result, before sunset, he had sweated a little more, and he had no time to take a shower and change his clothes.
