"This year, our Chinese football entered the World Cup, which caused great enthusiasm. It seems that from now on, our Chinese football will take off. But as long as we see the essence through the phenomenon, we will understand that in fact, entering the World Cup once
, and nothing has changed.”
It looked like we were going to have a long conversation today, so Xiao Qian simply ordered a table of food for everyone to talk while eating.
Chu Dayou originally wanted to drink, but Xiao Qian clearly refused, which made everyone very uncomfortable.
Chinese people like to talk most at the wine table. If you can't drink, the atmosphere will always be a bit wrong.
But without drinking, people can stay awake and say something impressive.
No, Xiao Qian's words made Chu Dayou and the others stop using their chopsticks.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you think our Chinese football will be like after entering the World Cup?"
Li Zhouzhe is different from Chu Dayou and Zhan Jinhuai. He has traveled extensively over the years and has seen many things, which makes him better able to understand Xiao Qian's statement.
Xiao Qian also admires him very much.
"Chinese football has actually been on the wrong path from the beginning. If we don't change this, no matter how hard we try in the future, of course there will be no good results."
He is a reborn person. He has seen Chinese football before and after the 2002 World Cup, so he is extremely confident when he says this.
Even Chinese football after the World Cup is not as good as before.
Because other Asian countries have actually completed their evolution through the World Cup, Chinese football's standing still is more like regressing.
As a result, it seems that Chinese football is becoming more and more unbearable, and even losing to Thailand has become a reality.
"Haha, then let's listen to Mr. Xiao's speech and let Mr. Xiao take us to learn about football."
Secretary Xu joked a bit, but still felt very solemn inside.
Because Xiao Qian is really amazing.
Since getting to know this young man, Secretary Xu has discovered that his outlook on life has undergone drastic changes.
Although he is almost middle-aged, he can actually learn a lot from Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian didn't care about Secretary Xu's teasing, but looked at the other three people and asked seriously: "Everyone, what do you think... football is?"
It's a very simple question, but Chu Dayou and the other three know that this question is not simple.
They had no idea how to answer.
After thinking about it, I decided to follow my true inner thoughts.
"Football, of course, is a very popular sport."
The unsurprising answer was of course the correct answer, but it was not what Xiao Qian wanted.
"Of course football is a sport, but what we work hard for is an industry."
Seeing that Chu Dayou and the others still didn't understand, Xiao Qian simply explained it more thoroughly.
"Professional football, in the final analysis, is actually a business industry."
When he proposed the word "business", it was obvious that Chu Dayou and the other two people did not agree with it.
Fortunately, the three of them were well-educated and knew that he had more to say, so they did not immediately refute.
Xiao Qian said in a deep voice: "When I say this, everyone may not be able to accept it at once. But the fact is that professional football is a business activity. No matter whether it is in the name of a professional league or a national team in front of this sport,
In name, it is a commercial industry. I said Chinese football
This is the reason why the ball went wrong from the beginning. Whether it is at the national level or football people like you, the way we engage in this industry relies more on policy influence and administrative interference. But in fact, I think
To do a good job in football, the most basic thing is to do a good job in the football market."
Zhan Jinhuai finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He is the person in charge of the football field of the Sports Bureau, and he is the person who Xiao Qian said has used the most administrative interference in football.
Xiao Qian's statement was tantamount to negating all his work.
"Isn't it right? Mr. Xiao, if you are talking about the professional league, then I can still agree. But the entire football industry is divided into different parts, all with different missions. How can it become a commercial behavior?"
Xiao smiled lightly.
What he likes most is having someone argue with him.
"In this case, why do you need help from me and financial support?"
Zhan Jinhuai hesitated for a moment, then straightened out his thoughts and said: "What we need Mr. Xiao's help from is the Lange Club. This is a professional club, so of course it needs financial support."
Little did he know that his statement gave Xiao Qian the opportunity to defeat his argument.
"Director Zhan, do you think that if I finance the Lange Club with 200 million yuan, and then the Lange Club breaks into the A-level with 200 million yuan, will everything be fine?"
No matter how tough Zhan Jinhuai is, he still knows the basic principles, but he still decides to struggle.
"We'll figure it out then."
This is the case with professional football leagues. The higher you go to the top leagues, the more expensive you are.
Because other teams are spending a lot of money to continuously increase their strength, if you don't follow suit, you will definitely not be able to gain a foothold.
Even if Zhan Jinhuai has never worked in a club, he knows that if Langer really breaks into the A-level, he will only need more money.
Xiao Qian pressed forward step by step.
"What if there is nothing we can do by then?"
Chu Dayou and the other three were speechless.
They knew very well that even if Lange rushed into A, he would not be able to find any good sources of wealth.
They had never thought about the consequences at that time, but now that Xiao Qian had ruthlessly exposed it, they all knew that Langer would only end up in the first round and return to a secondary or even inferior league.
In the most serious case, the club may cease to exist.
This is not alarmist, because the Lange Club has been disbanded once because of its huge investment and the Lange Group could not support it.
The three of them were speechless, but Xiao Qian spoke eloquently and at length.
"This is what I said, why professional football is a business. If the Lange Club had stable financial resources and income, would it still need to be as difficult as it is now, facing the danger of dissolution at any time?"
He said it seriously, but the three of them thought he was naive.
"Do you think we haven't tried it? But it's useless. We have thought of countless ways, but what can we do if we can't find the money?"
Li Zhouzhe has a faint tendency to collapse.
He was the head coach of Lange Club during his first generation. However, due to poor coaching results, he had to resign sadly.
But both he and the club know that the reason for the poor results has nothing to do with him as the head coach.
It's because the club has no money and can't continue to operate.
"Let me think about it..."
Xiao Qian knew his wisdom well, and there was no secret to him about the efforts these people would make.
"I think you have gone to the government, hoping that the government can help. You have also gone to social enterprises to seek sponsorship, right?"
Chu Dayou and the other three were not surprised, knowing that he could guess it.
Because in this era of domestic football, everyone is doing this.
Since everyone is doing this, isn’t it just and natural?
Xiao Qian didn't, and suddenly made an explanation that they didn't expect.
"You only know how to find money everywhere, why can't you make money yourself?"
Chu Dayou was quite helpless and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xiao, doesn't he know that domestic clubs don't make money at all?"
Xiao Qian didn't let go of this question.
"Then I don't understand even more, why foreign clubs can make money but you can't?"
Li Zhouzhe felt that he was looking for trouble and said angrily: "How can a small club like ours compete with Real Madrid?"
"Nonsense!"
Xiao Qian stopped shouting and everyone was so frightened that they all dropped their chopsticks.
His face looked very ugly.
"Do you think I'm talking about Real Madrid? Do you know that in Spain, in addition to the top clubs we all know, there are many small clubs. The size and assets of those small clubs are even far greater than those of Real Madrid.
Not as good as Langer Club. But these small clubs are all doing well and making good profits. How should we calculate this?"
Chu Dayou and the other three were completely stunned.
As football professionals in remote areas of China, they know that the situation in La Liga and La Liga is already pretty good.
At this time, the small clubs at the bottom mentioned by Xiao Qian were completely beyond their knowledge.
However, they also knew that Xiao Qian would not use this to lie to them, and what he said must be true.
But since what Xiao Qian said was true, he completely refuted their excuse.
There is only one consequence, which highlights their incompetence.
After completely getting rid of their stubbornness and mistakes, Xiao Qian can then instill in them the correct understanding.
"Now, let me talk about what real professional football should be like."
