World Cup of Great Powers

"If we look at all the football leagues in the world, none of them do this!"

After hearing the "gossip" Wang Junsheng revealed to him, Zeng Zheng suddenly became furious.

"Ah, Xiao Zeng, young man, don't be so angry."

Wang Junsheng waved his hands on the ground, "Isn't this still in the discussion stage? Everything is easy to discuss and discuss."

"It's just a matter of discussion!" Zeng Zheng said angrily, "We also qualified for the World Cup in 1998. Why didn't you make this suggestion at that time?"

"That was then, and this is now!" Wang Junsheng replied, "After all, no one expected that you could lead the team to the World Cup, so no preparations were made."

"But the next World Cup will be different."

"We have been planning this World Cup since 1992."

"Ten years of sharpening the sword is such an important juncture. Of course the league must make way for the World Cup!"

What Wang Junsheng said was reasonable, and several other insiders in the room nodded frequently in agreement.

It is different from European and American leagues.

Why do we develop football leagues?

Why must football be separated from major sports?

Is it for the general public to keep fit?

Or is it to popularize football?

Or do you want to use football as a sport to develop business and raise funds?

neither!

To put it bluntly, in our country, any sports are for performance and ranking.

This makes it easy to understand why Bamboo Shoes will introduce all kinds of incredible "new rules" every time there is an intercontinental competition.

"No, I will definitely not agree to this!"

Zeng Zheng waved his hand and said, "If you really want to make way for the World Cup, you can stop all A, A, and B."

"What the hell is the cancellation of promotion and relegation from Class A?"

"Uncle Xu has been fighting corruption and organized crime for almost two years. Once this policy is introduced, won't his hard work in the past two years be completely wasted?"

"No, I firmly oppose it!"

Hearing Zeng Zheng bring all this out, Wang Junsheng felt a little embarrassed on his face.

After all, I am also a bamboo mat with bamboo shoes, but you don’t give me any face at all.

"Xiao Zeng, isn't it just a one-year suspension of promotion and relegation? What's the big deal?"

"With Wang Zhuxi at the top controlling the macro, no matter how powerful the bottom is, what kind of waves can it cause?"

"As for what you said, I think it's too much!"

"Why don't we just stop A and A and B? Is that okay?"

"Then who will pay and support these hundreds of players this year?"

"What's more, if you don't play games for a year, what should you do if your skills deteriorate?"

"If you ask me, it would be best to suspend the promotion and relegation of Class A for one year."

"The game has been played and the purpose of the training has been achieved. The competition for promotion and relegation will not be so fierce that the players will be injured."

"And Coach Zeng, your thinking is too simple. This is not just a simple issue of promotion and relegation. It also involves Bamboo Shoes' development plan for the domestic league in the next few years."

"You are still too young. Some things are not as simple as they seem..."

Everyone said something to each other, but Zeng Zheng couldn't even get a word in.

In the end, Zeng Zheng simply stood aside with his arms crossed and said nothing.

Seeing that everyone was tired of talking, Wang Junsheng spread his hands.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now."

"Don't forget we are talking about the Asian Cup today."

"Xiao Zeng, we can't show our cowardice in this first match of the Asian Cup!"

"Do you have anything to say against our old rival South Korea?"

Zeng Zheng rolled his eyes at Wang Junsheng, grinning like an 80,000-year-old man.

You also know that you are here to express condolences for the Asian Cup this time, right?

I thought you were causing trouble for me!

"What's there to say about hitting a stick?"

"As long as that guy named Xu dares to continue using 352, I can beat him until his mother can't even recognize him!"

Hearing Zeng Zheng's vow, many people present nodded.

However, some people still raised their hands and asked, "Coach Zeng, what if South Korea doesn't call 352? What should we do? Are you prepared to deal with it?"

Zeng Zheng frowned, this guy was obviously targeting him.

"If South Korea doesn't play 352, then other teams will beat them until they can't even recognize their mother!"

"Coach Zeng, what are you talking about?"

The xx office director raised his eyebrows, stood up and pointed at Zeng Zheng's nose and said: "Coach Zeng, this is a serious occasion, please don't use such vulgar answers."

"Whatever the chairman asks you, just answer honestly."

“Don’t think it’s amazing just because you led the team to win an Olympic bronze medal!”

"Young man, there is still a long way to go!"

Hearing this, Zeng Zheng suddenly realized something in his heart.

Looking at Wang Junsheng in the center of the room, he immediately understood the purpose of his visit.

You guys are here to get some of me!

What's going on?

Are you afraid that my superiority will overwhelm your master?

Looking at the faces of the directors in the room, Zeng Zheng lamented that he was still too young.

The other party teases others and casually reveals a "promotion and demotion system" to him, just to see his reaction.

As a result, I actually got into the trap directly.

Think about it, is this something that a national team head coach should be asking about?

Even Zeng Zheng did not even have the power to support or oppose.

What Bamboo Shoes needs is an obedient tool, not a thoughtful Zeng Zheng.

After thinking about this, Zeng Zheng remained silent.

Zeng Zheng sighed amidst the voices saying, "Coach Zeng should lead the team well," "select young people for the country well," and "use all your energy in the game."

No matter how capable the players and coaches are, they can only raise the lower limit of Chinese football;

If we want to truly make football bigger and stronger, we must not allow our butt to determine our head!

The older generation of national players have all been replaced by Zeng Zheng;

It’s time for these bamboo shoe officials to change!

The "sympathy meeting" turned into a "denunciation meeting". These people chattered for two hours before they were willing to let Zeng Zheng leave.

That night, Wang Junsheng knocked on Zeng Zheng's door.

"Hey, is this Wang Zhuxi?"

"What's the matter? Didn't you talk enough during the day?"

"Can you give me some extra night classes?"

Wang Junsheng smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Zeng, you are really tricky with your mouth."

"If you weren't being cunning, how could Wang Zhuxi have found the opportunity to fight me?"

"What kind of fight? What era is this in? Let me tell you, it's the 21st century now, a new era of socialism!"

"What's the matter? Wang Zhuxi also plans to teach me some modern history?"

"Okay, okay, you brat, I can't defeat you!" Wang Junsheng pushed Zeng Zheng away and walked straight into the room, "If I really want to fight you, I will bring someone here tonight!"

"What does the bamboo mat mean?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Junsheng poured himself a glass of hot water as if he were back in his room, "Have you not seen clearly what happened in the afternoon?"

"See what?"

"You kid, I really don't know if you are pretending to be stupid or if you really don't understand!"

After Wang Junsheng laughed and cursed, his expression darkened.

"Xiao Zeng, do you still remember what I said when I was on this bamboo mat?"

"That's your oath of office, what's the use of me remembering it?"

"Develop China into a world-class football power, and develop the Chinese football team into a world-class football team..." Wang Junsheng murmured a few words, then sighed, "Xiao Zeng, don't blame your uncle Wang. Yes.

At that time, Uncle Wang couldn't help himself!"

You have become bamboo shoes and bamboo mats, and you still can’t help yourself?

Zeng Zheng did not say this.

Of course he also knew that this location was an isolation zone.

In the football world, if you dig deeper, reaching him would mean the end.

What's more, the people inside Bamboo Shoes have never been united as one.

There are people like Xu and Wang who are dedicated to football, others who are dedicated to making money, others who are dedicated to Zheng Zhi, and even some who are dedicated to spies, not to mention those who are dedicated to lying around and eating and drinking.

After Wang Junsheng came to power in the past two years, he tied Wang Yilin together to promote the professionalization of referees, sent Xu Fangfang to the league to focus on discipline, sent Zhang Jilong to the AFC to engage in diplomacy, and allowed his national brand to cause problems once

.

It can be said that we have done a lot of great things, and we have always had control over the general direction.

But the football world is not just about big things, there are countless trivial things.

For those who are opportunistic, there is always something you cannot take into account.

And once you find that some moths are planning to attack the building in this area, the load-bearing wall is actually almost hollowed out by them.

When the national team was a big piece of cake, they had a lot of troubles.

But this area is too important and attracts a lot of public attention.

After a wave of "internal and external cooperation" attacks by the National Olympic Committee led by Zeng Zheng and Wang Xu and others, and supplemented by public opinion, the national team was cleared out.

However, after a few months of hiatus, they focused on the league again.

It was they who proposed the suspension of promotion and relegation in the league this time.

Wang Junsheng and others have already vetoed them once regarding the national team. If they want to veto these people again, in addition to the necessary reasons, they must also have stronger confidence and means.

The most important thing is that this suspension of promotion and relegation in the league was proposed based on Xu Wang’s blueprint for “developing the Chinese Super League”.

No matter in terms of time, situation, means or purpose, Wang Junsheng could not find any reason to refuse for a while.

Even after discussing it with Xu Fang, I felt that the plan was feasible.

But what I didn't expect was that Zeng Zheng would encounter such strong opposition.

"Xiao Zeng, if you're not in a hurry, I'll explain it to you in detail."

"The suspension of promotion and relegation in the First Division is not that simple."

"The specific step is that our league will implement a 'direct promotion without relegation' format next year. The 14 teams in Class A will be ranked but not relegated, and the two teams in Class B will be promoted to Class A, turning Class A into 16 teams.

"

"The top two teams in Serie B will still be promoted to A-B, keeping the number of A-B teams unchanged at 12."

"The focus of this year's work is to strengthen the excellent venue facilities of Class A and the construction of the talent echelon of Class B clubs' own functions."

"In 2002, our Class A implemented the policy of 'reducing but not promoting'."

"At the end of the year, the two teams behind A-A will move to A-B, returning A-A to 14 teams, and the two teams behind A-B will enter Class B."

"The focus of our work during this period is to strengthen the three major constructions of the A and B teams."

"In 2003, the promotion and relegation system of the First Division will return to normal."

"And we will conduct strict reviews on each first-division club in accordance with the standards and go through it all over again."

"By 2004, we will establish a super league with the theme of A and B."

"This is also the Chinese Super League we mentioned before. I remember you supported it at that time, right?"

"Anyway, our ultimate goal is to build a Super League, and this period coincides with the World Cup."

"I think this suspended promotion and relegation system can reduce our workload during this period, and can screen, review and regulate clubs, leagues and national teams one by one."

"This will be more convenient for future Chinese Super League plans!"

"Xiao Zeng, what do you think?"

This time, it was Wang Junsheng who asked his opinion in private and softly.

After Zeng Zheng briefly organized his language, he honestly expressed his opinions.

"Uncle Wang, let's start the Chinese Super League, and I will give you a hundred support."

"But the problem is that the Chinese Super League cannot just change its name to Class A, but actually change the soup without changing the medicine."

"In that case, it doesn't matter whether the Chinese Super League is done or not."

"And as I said before, establishing the Chinese Super League will definitely involve military expansion."

"As for the expansion of the army, it is enough to directly stipulate that A-B be promoted to two more places."

"If it really doesn't work, we can make a two-year plan and upgrade one more jobs a year."

"There is no need to suspend promotion and relegation, then review it repeatedly and then break it up and reorganize it."

"It seems simple, but in fact the water is deep here!"

"Uncle Wang, if I were the owner of the club, just by saying 'censorship', I could bring down all my competitors and go up myself."

After hearing Zeng Zheng's words, Wang Junsheng's face turned as pale as pig liver.

"Xiao Zeng, why do you distrust your bamboo shoes so much? Even if you don't trust me, you still have to trust your Uncle Xu! His work in the past two years was not in vain. By saying this, you are not directly vetoing his two

Years of work results?”

Zeng Zheng shook his head and said, "Uncle Wang, these are completely different things!"

"Uncle Xu controls the league's anti-corruption campaign, but he can't control the internal affairs of the club!"

"There are so many maneuverable spaces here. If you think about it carefully, you will figure it out yourself."

"Many things are incomprehensible."

"And this is one of them."

"Secondly, our league practice over the past seven years has proven that the decision to establish a first-division league system with clubs as the main body and the home and away system and the promotion and relegation system as the core is completely correct."

"The role and social impact of the First Division League are positive and effective, and are in line with the development trend of modern world football."

"Rushly imposing a suspension of promotion and relegation will not only cause more trouble, but will only lead to worse consequences and become a bigger joke."

"Uncle Wang, this is not the first time we have entered the World Cup."

"Do you think any country has suspended the promotion and relegation of its domestic league because of the World Cup?"

"Don't forget, the league is the foundation of a country's football."

"To patronize the World Cup but suspend the league, in my opinion, is putting the cart before the horse!"

"Uncle Wang, when we do things, we can't go against the laws of the market!"

After listening to Zeng Zheng's explanation, Wang Junsheng also fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Wang Junsheng was able to speak.

"Okay, Xiao Zeng, Uncle Wang has taken note of what you meant."

"After I get back, I will discuss it with your Uncle Xu and others."

"If this matter is really as harmful as you said, and will cause a lot of trouble, then we will have to use some force to suppress it like last time."

"only..."

Having said this, Wang Junsheng turned his attention to Zeng Zheng again.

"Just what?" Zeng Zheng spread his hands.

Looking at Wang Junsheng's eyes, he understood instantly.

"Fuck you, Uncle Wang."

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't an Olympic bronze medal enough?"

"Want to add more?"

"How do you guys get such an appetite?"

Faced with Zeng Zheng's complaints, Wang Junsheng smiled bitterly.

"Xiao Zeng, let me tell you the truth."

"Olympic bronze medals are only responsible for keeping you where you are now."

"If you want to expand your route in new areas, you must have more confidence!"

After hearing this, Zeng Zheng sighed, "Okay!"

"Tell me, what do you want me to do in this Asian Cup?"

Wang Junsheng touched his chin and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, then showed an expression like an old fox.

"Xiao Zeng, look at the Asian Cup. It's definitely not as intense as the Olympic Games, right?"

"And we have participated in the Asian Cup for many times, and we have made a lot of preparations for the Asian Cup."

"Even this Asian Cup was temporarily taken from Lebanon."

"Now we are not only fighting on home soil, but the turf on this venue from the group stage to the finals is also yours."

"Winning the Asian Cup."

"Isn't this too much to ask for?"
