The Ball at Your Feet

The problem of the 41st quarter team

Updated: 2013-06-06

"When I come back this time, I will come to China to do some things. Things are almost done, and I should go to the UK to continue my work. But I know, my friends in China, these days, I have been very helpful. I am here today to express my gratitude to everyone."

The reporters present all spoke up to please the people in front of them, but in their hearts, there was no one who really looked down upon the people in front of them.

The villain is determined. Almost everyone cursed the street in their hearts. This stuff is just a thing that was eliminated by the sports school. You don’t know how many words you know. The reporters usually don’t scan the same dregs of the bottom of society, but now they are here to show off, facing a group of cultural people. A group of reporters spoke unceremoniously.

The world is getting worse, why did Zhao Yaning choose such a thing as an agent? The agent really didn't have a few good things, they were all moths, bastards.

"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. You are all people who work for Chinese football. This time, you take Zheng Zhi, Sun Xiang and others abroad. This method is really the first person in China..."

"What kind of ability is I, that is, relying on Ningzi to play well, to achieve results, and to give up face, I can do things."

All fools know. If it weren't for Zhao Yaning, why would you show off in front of me? This world is also weird. I used to think that China could not produce good players, and there was nothing to write about: But at that time, just write something about football stars that are not for a group of people? It’s good now, there’s a football star. If you don’t write Zhao Yaning’s magazine, who reads? But I wrote Zhao Yaning's magazine, but all of them had to be nodded by the person in front of me. There is a little bit of negative things, he will not be satisfied.

Life is worse than before.

"To say that Ning Zi is playing really well now. All of us, we have to thank him. If he hadn't played well, there would not be so many people watching football, right." Zhang Yuan swept around. Everyone, "It's not easy for Chinese people to mess around with things abroad. If Ning Zi wants to play well, he has to rely on the domestic help."

"What can we help..." Everyone was humble.

"You can help too much." Zhang Yuan laughed. "Ning Zi plays in Liverpool. How can you guys in China have to say two nice things about Liverpool? But I looked through the newspapers and magazines. It's all bad things about Liverpool...I don't understand, what good things about Manchester United and Chelsea can make you all say good things about them?"

As Zhang Yuan spoke, his face gradually turned cold, "He doesn't help his compatriots, but all of them are for foreigners! Forget it! Manchester United is a giant at any rate. What benefit did Chelsea do to them? All those grandchildren speak for them?"

The reporters present were a little ugly, and they did not say such things less.

"They are all ignorant..."

With the answer, Zhang Yuan can easily go on, "Yes, it's a bunch of stupid species. It's good for foreign media to say good things for Chelsea. If you say good things, there is a shit? Just look at it. If the foreign media publishes something, just copy it. It’s okay to think a little bit more!"

Having said that, everyone also understands what Zhang Yuan meant. He is trying to manipulate the media's public opinion orientation.

Media propaganda has a great influence on a person and a club. For example, the battle between Arsenal and Manchester United in the most recent game is a problem.

The reason for that incident is actually very simple: Henry printed some anti-racist vests and distributed them to all the Premier League players, hoping that they would wear them during the game and show them to the fans after the goal was scored. The machine opposes racial discrimination. But Gary Neville of Manchester United was reluctant to put it on and ignored Henry. This incident was not a big deal. Neville did not speak up against Henry’s approach, but just didn’t want to wear the clothes he gave him. However, during the Manchester United and Arsenal game, when Vieira was in the player channel, he remembered this. This incident, said a few bad things, and therefore angered Keane. He and Keane had a conflict, which caused the entire Premier League to pay great attention.

When the Chinese media reported on this matter, they played a small trick: it was obviously a conflict between two people, but the Chinese media cut it and only played the scenes of Keane screaming at the street, and the scenes of Vieira. It's all cut out and promoted in this way: Vieira is afraid of Keane.

In fact, people with a little brain will know that Vieira's temper, when he was scolded by Keane, he still couldn't listen to it honestly? That grumpy guy, of course, also spoke back. But the problem is that if you only edit Keane's footage without playing Vieira's footage, it will naturally become a unilateral publicity Keane.

Not to mention, in the early years when Manchester United played Bayern, Keane was overthrown by Effenberg, and the Chinese media intercepted a picture of Effenberg standing, but Keane had not yet risen up. On their propaganda: the British iron man is afraid of the German tough guy.

But everyone who has watched the game knows that Keane hit Effenberg with his shoulder immediately after standing up, and Keane never did anything to show weakness. However, the Chinese media will not talk about such things. Their propaganda has always been selective.

After Zhao Yaning arrived in Liverpool, although the media had to publicize Zhao Yaning's good, many times, they said that the Liverpool club was extremely unbearable. If this is not the case, why couldn't Zhao Yaning win the 38th consecutive season? It must be a club issue.

In this case, it would not harm Zhao Yaning's image, but Zhang Yuan didn't want to hear it anymore.

"In the future, less propaganda about the Red Devil spirit, or what the Blue Army revolution is... what are the benefits for you?"

In other words, is it good to promote Liverpool?

They immediately understood what Zhang Yuan said. When it comes to benefits, they certainly won't get it wrong.

These people are smart enough that Zhang Yuan doesn't say more.

Liverpool is indeed a declining giant. In England, in Europe, they still have a large number of fans, and they have a good position. But in Asia, in the eyes of these guys who only know the pursuit of the strong, Liverpool is not worthy of pursuit. team.

But now that Zhao Yaning went there, they must go after it. Zhang Yuan doesn't doubt their ability to tout. Since even an NBA team that has never made it into the second round of the playoffs can give them a title contender, Liverpool is also one of the top teams in the Premier League, how? Can also blow well.

The Liverpool club has abandoned these propaganda, and now they are still doing it on their own. Zhang Yuan is still very dissatisfied with this. Half a year ago, Zhao Yaning had not thought about this at the beginning of his transfer. After all, in Zhao Yaning's view, Liverpool is not a particularly good place to stay. Maybe he will have to leave after two years. He describes the club image very well. , Wouldn't it cause trouble for Zhao Yaning's transfer?

But now, Zhao Yaning is getting better and better at Liverpool, and, intentionally or unconsciously, Zhao Yaning also mentioned that Liverpool have a good attitude towards old players, which made him feel at ease. This also made Zhang Yuan understand that, for the time being, don't think about transfer or something, but want to help Liverpool build a good image.

It's just that no matter how bragging is, it's all bragging. If there is really no result, no matter how good it is, it will not be possible to attract fans.

Liverpool, can you get results?

"I am very satisfied with Liverpool's results in the first half of the season."

When talking about this issue with Benitez, Mr. Morris couldn't help but smile, "Rafa, I have to say, you are an admirable coach."

"Liverpool has today's results, the result of the joint efforts of the players and me." Benitez said.

"You can't do it," Morris insisted, "I didn't look at the wrong person. It is the right choice to hand Liverpool into your hands."

"If you really think so, then I still have some requirements, I hope you can cooperate."

Benitez's words made Morris' face embarrassed, "Rafa, you know, I don't have much money. Although I am the boss of Liverpool, but... but I am not rich. About signings... "

"I'm not talking about signings. Our winter signings are over." Benitez shook his head, "I'm talking about some things after the end of the season."

"We need to re-establish the youth training." Benitez took out a plan. "This is my plan. There are investment problems, coaches inviting problems, players buying problems, and... some expulsion. The current problem of incompetent coaches."

Morris, who had a smile on his face, changed his face after hearing the last sentence.

"Rafa, you don't always have to write such detailed written reports, just tell me orally." Morris accepted his report, "However, your seriousness still touches me. I am. I still remember when I first met you, you did dozens of pages of Liverpool tactical analysis for the job search. Parry and I were both terrified..."

"Sir, please tell me, is my proposal feasible?"

Benitez’s words gave Morris no chance to escape, “Rafa, money matters, I can squeeze out some for you. Inviting coaches, I have no objection. But, the person who fired, is it a bit too much? There are some people on your list...Hae Wei is Liverpool's legend, and he has always been good as a youth coach. Stephen, Michael, and Jimmy were all cultivated when he was in office. He..."

"His thinking is out of date, and it is not suitable for the current law of football development and training." Benitez said immediately, "Let him leave, it will help Liverpool a lot."

"But he is Liverpool's legend, we can't treat the meritorious officials like this." Morris replied, "Rafa, you should understand how important the tradition of the UU club is. "

"I understand, but..."

"There is nothing but, I can agree to anything else, but I can't expel Liverpool's reputation. When I was a child, I watched them play and grew up. Each of them is a hero in my heart. I can't treat them like that."

Club tradition should not be reflected in this way. Benitez said something in his heart.

"Rafa, don't be so unhappy." Morris comforted, "Our results are still good, and at the end of this season, I have an important signing-Michael's agent contacted me. He said that Michael was unhappy at Real Madrid and wanted to..."

"Liverpool doesn't have his place." Benitez raised his head. "Boss, what do you want to do? Bring Owen back to Liverpool? Isn't he hurt enough for Liverpool?"

"But, Michael has realized the mistake. After all, he is still his own child, and everyone here likes him..."

"What he did, he no longer regarded himself as a Liverpool native. You said I don’t understand Liverpool’s tradition, but I think you don’t understand it—Liverpool’s tradition is not for forgiving traitors. Liverpool’s tradition is that the whole is greater than the individual. Anyone can surpass the team." Benitez said dissatisfied, "Moreover, we now have a lot of new players, these people do not like him, this will cause conflict."

"I know, but the fans like him..."

Benitez suddenly felt that he didn't know what to say. The problem for Liverpool is not poverty, technical and tactical backwardness, or lack of ability of the players.

The problem here is that of the upper level.

Liverpool becomes stronger and has a long way to go.
