In the end, the teammates who represented the college team and participated in the FA Cup did not create a dark horse miracle, but unfortunately fell in the semi-finals.
After tasting the taste of failure, the teammates, whether they were the main players, substitutes, or second-team players, were all depressed and listless.
"Why, you can't stand this?"
There was no other way. When the team was conducting its year-end review, Wu Dong had to open his mouth to boost morale.
Seeing that all the players present looked over, he smiled and said: "The opponent is a strong Chinese Super League team after all, and the strength of the foreign players cannot be underestimated!"
"Even if we face the main players of the club, I dare not say that we can win!"
This is true, provided that Wu Dong does not contribute.
As the strength of his teammates rapidly improved, Wu Dong acted more and more secretly.
Even the so-called senior football people will not be able to see Wu Dong's ability and level if they do not investigate the team in depth.
Only teammates who have played together for two and a half years know that Wu Dong's strength is one of the main reasons why they can go all the way from the lower levels to the Chinese Super League step by step.
These words restored the players' originally depressed mood a lot.
Think about it, they are just a new team in the Chinese League One. Even if they have entered the Chinese Super League at this time, they have no right to look down on the Chinese Super League teams.
"You all train well and continue to improve your strength. Don't relax your strict requirements on yourself even during the holidays!"
"You all know my temper. I don't look at seniority but only performance. I don't want a winter vacation to pass by and when the Chinese Super League starts, I will change from the main player to a substitute!"
After reminding the main players of the club, the next step is the second team.
Wu Dong smiled and said: "Next, I will find ways to discuss with the visiting Chinese Super League teams to strengthen the competition in the reserve league!"
Seeing the confused expressions on the players' faces, he leisurely said: "Don't worry about it, you will understand it after the Chinese Super League starts!"
"At that time, even if we only play the reserve league and the Football Association Cup, although the number of games is a little smaller, they are all formal and intense games. We can't be careless!"
After handling the club's affairs, Wu Dong went to the college football club again and comforted and encouraged the members of the football club.
Speaking of which, the college football club is already considered the third team of the club.
They can participate in the college football league, as well as a series of college athletic conference football games and other events.
As long as they are willing to train hard and follow the training methods left by Wu Dong, their strength can quickly improve.
If there is a good prospect with outstanding performance, he will easily be signed by the club and become a member of the second team.
As for other members of the football club, as long as they have certain football skills and understand the rules of the football game, there are still some ways out.
With the rapid development of the college team and the club team at this time, the football atmosphere in the urban area where the college is located gradually became richer.
Among other things, the emergence of amateur teams spontaneously organized by enterprises, institutions, and private enterprises is the best proof.
Whether it is for the sake of face or other considerations, these amateur teams need capable players to help support the field.
Wu Dong intends to add fuel to the fire. When the club jointly formed with the college is established, he plans to negotiate with the Municipal Sports Bureau and the Football Association to sponsor the urban amateur football league.
Players in the college football club who are good but not up to professional standards will naturally have a lot of job opportunities after graduation, and the wages will definitely not be bad.
Not only that, the exemplary role of the college team has also caused quite a shock in the education circles of many schools.
Seeing that the college has become famous all over the country because of the school team, and has been praised and praised by the top leaders of the education system for several consecutive years. It is impossible to say that the urban education system is not jealous.
Although there is not another undergraduate university in the urban area, there are several higher and secondary technical colleges.
Currently, they are not eligible to participate in the college football league, but they can participate in the urban amateur league.
If the results are good, it is not impossible to follow the example of the college and form a school team to participate in the amateur league organized by the Football Association and covet the second league.
They are too slow to train players themselves. Can they find a way from the talented graduates of the football club?
In addition, primary and secondary schools in urban areas have also been affected. Anyway, football fever is rising in schools, but it is not large-scale yet.
For this reason, these primary and secondary schools need some experts who understand football to serve as the school's physical education teachers.
In short, with the college teams and the club teams entering the Chinese Super League at this time, it will have a huge impact on the entire city.
As long as the club does not move out of the city, can stay in the Chinese Super League, and performs well, it may be able to continue to spread the influence of football in the city.
Wu Dong had actually thought about these and had a rough plan in mind.
The first step is to contact the city TV station through the club, college and sports bureau to discuss the live broadcast of the game.
Needless to say about the Chinese Super League, the entire league is managed by the top, and it is quite clear how much profit can be shared.
There are also standards for the rebroadcasting fees that local and municipal TV stations need to pay.
Although mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, Wu Dong does not attach too much importance to this.
What he really focuses on is the reserve league that is dependent on the Chinese Super League.
In other words, the reserve team competition for domestic top league teams has been in existence since 2002, and it started quite early.
Unfortunately, just like the top league itself, it is all in disarray, and the reserve league is not taken seriously at all.
Since it is not taken seriously, one can imagine the standard of the reserve league.
By the way, the reserve team league is also organized by the Football Association. Wu Dong does not have the ability to intervene in the overall competition, but he can make the games in which his own reserve team participates become more intense and exciting.
What he wants to discuss with the city TV station is that he hopes that the TV station can broadcast the reserve league games, which of course are only the club's home games.
The television advertising expenses generated during the period will be divided proportionally by the TV station, and the remaining part will be added up with the various incomes on the court, after deducting the various expenses of the game, the rest will be distributed as rewards.
The amount may not be much, estimated to be only tens of thousands of dollars, but for reserve team players, one point is not too little.
Wu Dong's only requirement is that the opponent must take the game seriously, and it is best to fight against each other.
Anyway, there is no promotion or relegation system in the reserve league, so you can freely play against each other, and the rewards will be awarded based on wins, losses, and performance.
Wu Dong didn't know if his idea could be realized, but he had to give it a try, right?
If it really works, in the future when the club's reserve team, that is, the second team, participates in the reserve league at home, the training effect will be no joke.
As long as there are obvious exercise effects, the money spent is worth it, that's what he thinks anyway.
As for whether other Chinese Super League clubs would follow suit, Wu Dong didn't bother to care.
I think if there are interests, it should make a little bit of waves, but it's just a little bit of ripples.
Once things get serious, the Football Association will step in to take the lion's share. Which Chinese Super League club can be willing to do so?
Besides, not every club can have huge social influence in the city where it is located.
The negotiations and discussions with the city TV station were not smooth.
Wu Dong's idea is very bold. He just wants the city TV station to open a sports channel. This is not the end of the story.
He could only say hehe. The influence of the city TV programs can be said to be the weakest among the weakest in the urban area. Why open a sports channel?
In addition to the news and weather forecast, some people will watch it, but not the other programs.
In the 1990s, it was still possible to take advantage of the regulatory gap to broadcast popular Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television dramas, but now it is no longer possible, and there is no money to purchase popular dramas, so we can only continue to broadcast those leftovers from the past.
Maybe, if it is switched to the reserve team league at the club's home stadium, there may still be a certain amount of ratings.
Of course, Wu Dong did not say anything about exposing scars and slapping him in the face.
After all, the city TV station is willing to negotiate and negotiate, but it just feels that the benefits are not enough.
But Wu Dong won't give in on this. He can't be asked to use his own money to supplement the reserve team games at home, right?
In the end, it was the city government that came forward to solve the problem and sign a formal contract.
When leaving, Wu Dong made a direct statement that when the Chinese Super League starts next year, his beverage factory will sponsor the live broadcast of the home reserve team games.
The money will definitely not be too much, but there are still thousands or tens of thousands for a game.
Once the influence of the competition spreads, it will be much easier to advertise.
Anyway, Wu Dong has confidence in the players of the club's reserve team, that is, the second team.
In fact, he really wanted to ask the city TV station to live broadcast or broadcast the urban amateur league games sponsored by the club.
He has already said hello to the competition organizers and the amateur teams that may participate, and will directly compete against each other when the time comes.
No matter how valuable the amateur team’s games are, the offensive games are always fun to watch. There is no need to be too serious. It’s best if it attracts attention.
Wu Dong feels that if the urban amateur football league sponsored by the club can really start according to his ideas, its influence will spread quickly.
When the time comes, it won’t be too late to contact the city TV station.
After taking care of football considerations and other matters that needed to be dealt with, it was already December 2007, and it would soon be New Year's Day again.
At this time, he had already been an intern at the urban hospital for a full year and successfully became a key doctor in the traditional Chinese medicine department, although he was still working under the name of intern.
The hospital hoped to keep him here and work directly in the hospital with a formal establishment after graduating with a master's degree, but he declined.
The instructor asked him privately, but he was very frank, saying that he couldn't understand some of the hospital's practices, and that he had no need to get involved...
Keep asking for monthly tickets and see if I can get over 2,000
