The Ball at Your Feet

"The leader of the Football Association asked him for a fee for going abroad."

Zhao Yaning did not understand, but after asking carefully, he understood what was going on.

According to Chinese regulations, there are only four ways for players to go abroad: free transfers over the age of 28, state dispatched abroad to play football, state dispatched abroad to study, and transfers between clubs.

Sending abroad to play football is a political task, which is aimed at Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and it is not available to most people. For those who are dispatched to study abroad, Metz is already in discussions with China. But apart from these, players under the age of 28 want to transfer to play abroad, they need to be cooperative. The Football Association can't pass it, no matter how high the level of players is, the transfer contract cannot be signed.

Even if a player without a contract wants to freely transfer abroad, he cannot go abroad without the approval of the Football Association. When a football player applies for a visa to go abroad, he needs the Football Association to issue relevant materials to prove that he is competent for the job. If he is responsible, it is impossible to go abroad without a work visa.

After all, the Chinese Football Association is half a government agency, and it can kill players on some issues. No matter how great the player is, the Football Association will not let you apply for a work visa, what can you do?

Zhao Yaning was able to go abroad because of the conflicts of the club, so he would rather let him go. And now, the Chinese team has entered the World Cup and the Asian Games again. It is just when the limelight is in the limelight. If you want to go abroad, it will not be so easy.

"The Football Association holds the power to let them go abroad. Since they have this power, they naturally need to use it. If they don't, can they still be regarded as our country's Football Association?"

Zhang Yuan has always had no good feelings about the Football Association, and every time he mentioned it, his cynicism was also merciless.

"The leaders of the Football Association are short of money?" Zhao Yaning asked inexplicably, "This is a good thing to win glory for the country. Other countries encourage players to go abroad to play. How can they even make this kind of unscrupulous money?"

"How much money can you earn by making money with conscience? Besides, do they have a conscience?" Zhang Yuan retorted, "And they are not short of money, they just have a little power in their hands. I'm uncomfortable."

In terms of wealth, the Chinese Football Association is probably one of the few profitable departments under the General Administration of Sports. Although there are many sports under the jurisdiction of the General Administration of Sports, sports such as gymnastics, weightlifting, diving, track and field, and even badminton are really not very profitable. If you are in a foreign country, table tennis is not profitable, but China’s table tennis market is too hot. Although you can’t make money from tickets for the game, you can make a lot of money from endorsements because of its terrifying results. Be regarded as a profitable department.

And the two departments that can really make a big profit are probably only the two departments of the Basketball Association and the Football Association-of course, the sports lottery is also under the control of the General Administration of Sports, but that is also counted-after all, this kind of confrontational, fast-paced game is the Watch the mainstream. Weightlifting or something, even if the world champion comes, there is nothing to watch. But football is different, this kind of sport is very enjoyable, and it is easy to cultivate diehard fans. Even the worst team in the Chinese league can have thousands of people to watch the game, and relegation teams can attract a large number of people to march on the streets to celebrate. This kind of influence and the value it creates is something else. Sports can hardly be compared with it.

In a sense, there is nothing wrong with considering the Football Association as the richest department in the General Administration of Sports.

In fact, this is why there are so many departments under the General Administration of Sports of China, but only the most troublesome issues in the management of the Football Association: table tennis, track and field, diving, weightlifting, these departments that produce results, athletes are fed by the state. They earn money from the General Administration of Sports, and the team leader speaks naturally. Although the diving team has not asked the famous ‘Which unit do you belong to’ at this time, their efficiency in doing things is not at all lower than in the future. Later, after Liu Guoliang retired, he also said that when he retired suddenly, he didn't need to go to bed on time at ten, but he didn't know what to do. It can be seen that the management of the Table Tennis Association is also strict enough.

They have this strict capital: their model is that the coaches are in charge of the athletes, and the athletes play well in the game and get the rankings before they can get the bonus. The rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and they are in an orderly manner, which is naturally easy to manage.

The Football Association can't. On the one hand, it is difficult for them to reward them with achievements: because the Football Association has never produced any results. On the other hand, they have to count on the players to make money, because the General Administration of Sports also regards them as profitable institutions. It is precisely because of this that things that do not exist in other sports such as football tyrants will breed in football: they have made real economic contributions to the Football Association, and they naturally speak hard. Do you dare to control me? Take care of me, do you still want money?

Of course, later basketball also appeared in the ball domineering, that is because basketball has also begun to embark on the management mode of football.

On the one hand, expecting results, the Football Association is required to strictly discipline. On the other hand, they saw that foreign football is making money, and they did not relax their economic interests at all, and they had to implement marketization. Sports always feel that as a result of such management, it is natural that the results will not come out, and the money will not be made much.

The Football Association is scolded by fans and players, and the leaders of the Football Association are just as useless: when it comes to making money, the Football Association earns more than anyone else. But when it comes to status-I'm sorry, the General Administration of Sports only looks at the results. Football has not produced any results, and naturally it is a department that has no right to speak. As for making money, isn't that a natural function of the Football Association? You are originally a money-making sport.

Every year you pay money, you have to be despised by those departments that spend your own money and have no results; countless games are played every year, but basically there is no chance of winning; obviously they are all athletes managed, and other organizations will beat and scold athletes. It is regarded as normal, and the people who play football don't beat you because they give you face; other sports can get some applause after the game is over, and the sound of deafening national curses will appear if football tries their best... Not to mention that the Football Association is a bunch of politicians and bureaucrats with poor character. Even if you get a saint here, you will be psychologically distorted after a year and a half.

Let such a group of people manage football, how can they not be corrupt, not fooling, and not doing nonsense?

And their anger, they dare not vent to the leaders of the General Administration of Sports. They are in officialdom. Who dares to provoke the boss? They don't dare to vent to the fans, anger the fans, it will cause trouble, and they can't bear the responsibility. As for other departments, one sentence of results will make the Football Association unable to open its mouth. Since no one can provoke them, they can only spread their anger on the players who want them.

Want to go abroad? Bring the money! If you don't give money, you won't get a work visa. Go out and try! See if you are not sent back. Let me behave, and power is in my hands. If we don't anger you anymore, wouldn't we be angry on all sides?

"They are greedy, in fact, to show their power. Because after going abroad, they can't control what the players do. This is the last cut before going abroad. Naturally, they have to score three points. Otherwise, they won't listen when they go abroad. Commanded, the Football Association is not easy to manage."

Zhang Yuan was able to calmly analyze the problem. The Football Association actually does not have much power. They mainly manage domestic leagues and national team games. Players who go abroad are not easy to manage. Although they are really upset, they will die, and they will be stuck alive without renewing their work visas, but after all they dare not be too outrageous. There is also the General Administration of Sports above them, and the General Administration will come forward when the public opinion is boiling.

So all they can think of is to frighten people: they frighten people before going abroad, so that people don't dare to violate the ideas of the Football Association. It's hard to say how effective this frightening is, but at least, it's better than doing nothing.

"How much do they want?" Zhao Yaning sighed for a long time, but still asked a question.

"Aren't you going to pay for them?" Zhang Yuan asked rhetorically.

"Of course not. Why should I pay for them? They have saved a lot of money playing football in China? I just ask to see how big the appetite of the Football Association is. Maybe I have to ask them in the future to know theirs. Appetite size is also good for us."

These words made Zhang Yuan startled. He thought that Zhao Yaning was going to be kind again. Who knew that Zhao Yaning's reaction this time was completely different from what he thought.

"Don't be so strange, I especially don't like gift giving. What my father taught me is that corrupt officials are the most hated. I think gift giving is the dirtiest." Zhao Yaning answered Zhang Yuan's question, "Remember coach Liu from our sports school? I hate him all my life for this."

Zhang Yuan smiled and didn't say a word: It turned out to be a child's temper.

"After all, can it be done?" Zhao Yaning urged.

"You really want him to transfer over? You can figure it out. If he transfers to the five major leagues, he might split your contract. And you don't think that multiple Chinese here are good for you. , You can't mix with people like them."

"I promised. What's more, if he kicks out and the national team wins the honor, wouldn't it be more endorsement contracts? Also, why should he rob me for endorsement contracts? This kind of thing still depends on football skills."

"Do you really think that the national team can achieve results?" Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Don't worry about this, don't ask more, don't worry about it, I can do it."

"Where did you get the money?" Zhao Yaning asked puzzledly, "It takes a lot of money to do this kind of thing, right?"

"It doesn't have to cost much." Zhang Yuan showed a gloomy and playful smile, "Just buy them some fashion items, buy some handbags, buy a few watches, it won't cost much."

"Buy it in Paris and take it back to be tax-free?" Zhao Yaning seemed to understand a little bit, but still not quite clear.

"What to buy in Paris? Just kidding. I'll go back to China in two days, go to Baigou, go to Zhejiang, and I'll be able to do everything with fun."

Baigou...

"You want to give a fake?" Zhao Yaning was not light on the idea. "Are you crazy? This is for the leadership of the Football Association. If you want to give a fake, don't you be afraid of revealing it?"

"How can the gift-giving thing be exposed? I have experience in this matter." Zhang Yuan laughed, "You talked about Coach Liu, and I gave him a gift. That's when I gained insight."

"What did you give?"

"Didn't I get injured at that time? He wanted me to retire. How can I do that? I just wanted to give him a gift. But my family is not rich, so I thought of a way."

Zhang Yuan laughed happily, "I found two old Moutai bottles. I asked someone to find the relationship in the winery. After filling two bottles of wine, I used the equipment of the winery. The bottle of Maotai is old."

"You just used that thing as a gift? He didn't see it?" Zhao Yaning still felt weird.

"Where can I see it? Yes, the broken seal I made is far from the real one, but has he seen the real one? He has never seen the real one. How does he recognize the fake? I asked later, that old man The kid got two bottles of wine and hid them, reluctant to drink them, until the Chinese New Year, taking advantage of the crowds, took them out and gave them a sip for everyone to drink. In the end, nothing happened."

"I can't see one of them? The taste is definitely not right." Zhao Yaning is still unimaginable, "Good wine is bad, doesn't it mean that you can drink it once you can drink it?"

"A big house, you just drink it out? Who can do that? Especially it's also a hindrance to other people's face. What's more, we are playing football, who is all right with Maotai all day? It just tasted once~www. ltnovel.com~ If you say something wrong, wouldn’t it be a joke. At that time, even if I filled him with plain water, no one would dare to say anything. Drinking it in the mouth, everything is Moutai flavor." Zhang Yuan said At this point, I was a little proud, "Those who take bribes always feel that they have the right. Others dare not succumb to him, so why not succumb to him? They are the ones who succumb to."

"Buy a decent leather bag in Shangbaigou, and then go to Zhejiang to get a fake watch and send it to him. They don’t necessarily understand this when they are officials. Even if they do, let’s say it’s a new fashion product bought in Paris. They can go to Paris again. It’s impossible to verify it? And they don’t dare to bring out good things when they are officials. They just keep them at home and others can’t see them. Who can tell them that it’s fake? Buy something for a thousand dollars and fool around with a guy. They are enough."

"But what if they sell things for money?" Zhao Yaning was still uneasy.

"Fool brother, which official corruption is because the poor have no money to spend? Do you really think they want money because they lack these three melons?" Zhang Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "They are To show off, they just want to tell the players that we have to beg them so that we can't be too awkward. If we give the presents, it is considered to be done. You really think that they are pointing to us to live a life. Are there only a few people in China who want to go abroad? If they live by this, they won’t have to die in full?"

"I still feel hanging." Zhao Yaning smiled and shook his head.

"Anyway, it's not your business. You don't have to be responsible for what's hanging up. What kind of care do you fuck? They don't give me money. I am a helper. Why are you so considerate?" Zhang Yuan sneered twice. , "And, brother, you really overestimate the gang of officials. They are a bunch of stupid pigs and there is no problem. If they are not stupid, how can these things happen?"
