Reborn on Top of Football

"One is that the club is responsible for its own profits and losses, while the youth training is a pure investment, and the cost recovery is very long. The second is that the youth training rate is low, and the majority of children's parents do not let their children go. If you want to have both, your club is willing to Long-term, continuous investment, and it can also support the child, even if you can't play football, you can go to college, then the total investment is very large, and it is difficult for you to break even. Development without break-even is by no means healthy development. So when I noticed this predicament, I realized that simply calling for youth training and increasing investment in youth training were beyond the surface, and I had to further solve the difficulties of youth training. Then I gradually realized the problem of football ecology, in the final analysis It's just that we have too few young talents."

"I used to think that the infrastructure that restricts us from producing talents. As long as our income reaches a certain level, the people will have time and energy to play football. If there are enough football fields, talents will blow out. It is under this judgment. , I have promoted the construction of civilian stadiums with many friends, and many talents have indeed emerged over the years. It is free there, not only for children, but also for clubs, they can often go to Taobao." Wang Ai made a joke. , and then added: "But it's not enough, because football has not taken root in our country, and the people's love for it is largely not based on football itself, that is to say, the people are rich and start playing, the influence of Chinese football is not necessarily The meat that can become the fattest, if you open your mouth and wait to eat, you may not be able to eat it.”

"So there is a football ecology?"

"Yes, it's not that people of insight have recognized the benefits of football ecology before, and there have been some attempts, but most of them are superficial, because the formation of football ecology must have football culture, and culture has characteristics, and China has Chinese cultural characteristics, if you use football cultural products from other countries, it will conflict with our cultural system, and the result will be unacceptable.”

"You said just now that there is a big and a small force. According to your complete discussion, you want to strengthen the small force before the two major forces withdraw, so as to complete an orderly transition?" Shui Junyi analyzed Wang Ai while he was analyzing it. : "The larger the number of football fans with a higher degree of professionalism, the wider the football coverage and the more potential football talents. To expand this group of people, it is necessary to provide infrastructure for them to hone in on, and to have a connection with Chinese culture. Harmonized Chinese football culture as a driver? Giving them will?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Ai nodded again and again: "Also, the rich football culture can also develop a football business with Chinese characteristics and increase the club's revenue. That is to say, in the future, the consumption expenditure of ordinary people in our country will become more and more. The higher the situation, the more Chinese football culture will take root through the Chineseization of football culture, so that more of the leisure and entertainment expenditure of the general people will be allocated. Football is relatively healthy, and its growth can squeeze those who are not very good. Expenditure, such as food, drink, prostitution, gambling, and smoking. So this matter is good for the country, society, and football.”

Shui Junyi breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back unconsciously, and nodded with emotion: "I am also a fan myself, and I often find someone to play football in private, and I have heard a lot. But such a grand and well-organized , layer-by-layer analysis I rarely hear.”

Wang Ai's face is not smug: "It is also constantly developing and colliding with other people. What I described just now is actually a process of my own understanding of Chinese football. I secretly tell you that every stage in the past. , I think I have the truth, and if the Football Association listens to me, it will be fine. Then every time the next stage will laugh at the previous stage for being too naive and too arbitrary."

In Shui Junyi's laughter, Wang Ai also laughed: "So, there may be a next stage to overturn or correct my current understanding."

"Since the Football Association entrusts you to do it, then it is to trust your professional ability, or your knowledge is now ranked in the forefront of domestic football. It may not be perfect, but it is the best at the moment."

Wang Ai nodded: "I feel more comfortable when you say that. I hope that in the future, after everyone's understanding of football is further improved, they will not be too harsh on me today."

"There is a way to avoid it."

"what?"

"You're always at the forefront of research."

Wang Ai laughed heartily and shook his head: "I will become Ged Muller sooner or later, and become the object of transcendence and criticism by future generations. In fact, I am now looking forward to someone who can criticize me with practical value. I will be very happy to correct and overturn my current conclusion. Not only for Chinese football, but also for personal growth.”

"Are you going to work in football research after you retire?"

"Probably not."

"why?"

"Because, there is no such department."

"Then what kind of work do you tend to do? Or what kind of work do you think you will do?" Shui Junyi said: "I see that you have shot a lot of commercials, some of which are very temperamental. Would you consider becoming a film and television star? For example Little Tao Hong? Tian Liang?"

Wang Ai thought for a while and shook his head: "I won't be a professional, because football stars earn more, and there is no urgent desire to use their popularity to jump into a lucrative business. Look at Beckham, it stands to reason that His popularity, image and his wife, of course, it is not difficult for him to become a film and television star. For a while, everyone said that he was going to enter Hollywood, but it has been more than half a year since he retired, and there are a lot of rumors. What is the result? No. Because he Shooting a single commercial can top him to make several movies, and a movie takes at least ten times as long to shoot.”

"As for myself, it depends on what the country needs."

"Based on your achievements and the research you're doing now." Shui Junyi stared at Wang Ai's eyes and smiled suddenly: "Will you be the chairman of the Football Association? I mean one day?"

"No." Wang Ai shook his head firmly.

"So sure? You seem to have participated in the planning of many major football events. Don't you want to have a bigger stage to display your talents?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's impossible." Wang Ai smiled and said: "You have self-knowledge. It's okay for me to be a fighter who is charging into battle or an expert who is imaginative. But if I am a stable marshal, I can't."

"Everyone has a lot of comments on you. From the first time you appeared in the public eye many years ago to today, it seems that you haven't been talked about in the streets for a day. Then, I'm curious how you will judge you for the past ten years. Football career?"

Wang Ai pursed his lips, leaned on the back of the chair and let out a long breath: "There has been a storm like a rock, there has been frost and snow like a knife, and there has been... flowers all over the road."
