Chapter 223: A hard slap

Although the national football team is not angry, domestic fans can't stop it, although they hate iron and steel, but as long as there is a national football game, everyone still has to pay attention, of course, in the end, it is only a heartache.

Not long ago, Forbes magazine broke the news that there is a super-rich man in China who can rank in the top ten of the world's richest list, and this super-rich man is still very interested in football and went to buy the Premier League giant Manchester United, which Chinese fans like very much.

But who would have thought that Jiang Feng would now rather invest in women's football and form a women's football club than invest in men's football. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Chinese men's football team?

And it made many fans laugh and cry even more, and then Jiang Feng announced that his "Jiang's Biotechnology Company" would invest 100 million yuan to title the women's football league next season, and the contract was three years, with a total sponsorship of up to 300 million yuan. This year, the cost of Siemens' title A League is only 8 million US dollars, which is converted to less than 70 million yuan, far less than Jiang Feng's sponsorship fee of 100 million yuan.

At the same time, Jiang Feng also reached an agreement with the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China that all the money he sponsored should be used to improve the environment of the women's football clubs, and not to subsidize the men's football team. Otherwise, Jiangfeng will withdraw immediately, and Jiangfeng has the right to cancel the remaining 2 years of the contract.

Jiang Feng was also a little helpless when he did this.

The only thing that can show up in Chinese football now is the women's football team, after all, they also won the runner-up of the Women's World Cup.

However, Jiang Feng knows better that even the only women's football team that can play out now will gradually decline in the next few years, until it becomes a second-rate team in Asia and cannot even participate in the Olympic Games.

The reason for this is not only the constraints of the system. The poor living environment of women's football is also a reason that has to be said.

Many successful examples of developed football countries show that the national team should be based on the league, especially in countries where football has been professionalized. Although China's women's football league has also implemented professionalization, the road to development is very uneven. Due to the poor performance of the national team for many years, the women's football league has not attracted attention and has not attracted sponsorship from social capital. As a result, women's football practitioners are poorly treated, with fewer players and coaches working in women's football, and the league lacks strong support at the national team level. Thus, women's football has embarked on the path of a vicious circle.

The first years of the professionalization of the women's football league. It also implements a home-and-away system, although the number of fans is not too large and the investment of sponsors is relatively small, but it can barely be maintained. Later, as their results deteriorated, some teams began to spend less money on the road. Later, the women's football league was changed to a conference system, with several divisions each season, and each team played a few games in a certain division.

The consequences of this are: Due to the lack of local fans and media attention, some teams find it more difficult to gain the favor of social capital. In the long run, the team fell into an embarrassing situation where no one cared and no one applauded.

The internal and external environment of women's football is extremely harsh, resulting in fewer and fewer players and coaches willing to get involved. The team is in the midst of a storm. After playing this year's competition, I don't know where the way out will be next year. In addition, many coaches are reluctant to coach women's football teams, and they can't make much money by working hard for a year. And to get a position in the men's football team, it is not a problem to earn hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands a year.

At present, there are only a dozen women's football teams in our country. There are only about 1,000 registered women's football players; Japan has more than 1,000 women's soccer teams and tens of thousands of registered athletes. The small number of participants directly leads to a low level and not many good seedlings. Shang Ruihua, the former coach of the Chinese women's football team, said bluntly: "The players in our league are all big feet, and the ground ball is basically uncontrollable. ”

Women's football players are not only small in number, but also poorly treated. Jiang Feng still remembers that in his previous life, he once heard a news that the women's football players in Jiangzhou City were participating in training outside and were going to celebrate the New Year, and they couldn't buy train tickets when they went home, and they couldn't get permission from the Jiangzhou Football Association if they wanted to buy plane tickets to go home, because they had no money.

It is precisely because of these memories that Jiang Feng had the idea of investing in women's football when Wei Hongjun mentioned football.

However, Jiang Feng's move was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Chinese men's football team, and even the Football Association was also slapped in the face.

Women's football has always been the underdog, whether it is sponsorship or treatment, it is far from being comparable to men's football. As a result, as soon as Jiang Feng made a move, the treatment of the women's football team immediately rose. Although in terms of personal treatment, it is far from being comparable with the men's football team, but it is far better than before. And because of the excellent performance of the Chinese women's football team in the third Women's World Cup four years ago, the women's football team is now attracting attention in China and is slowly catching up with the men's football team.

And at this time, Jiang Feng's next action came again. This move made the Football Association, including the men's football team, even more disgraced.

Jiangzhou Municipal Government Press Conference Hall.

For a long, long time, Wei Hongjun has not seen so many reporters appear in Jiangzhou City, and today reporters from all over the country have gathered here, and even many overseas reporters have flown over just to attend today's press conference.

This is the celebrity effect! Wei Hongjun had to sigh. The fact that so many reporters are attending today's press conference is naturally not to give face to the Jiangzhou Municipal Government, but to Jiang Feng, the protagonist of today's press conference.

In the past two days, Jiang Feng returned to Jiangzhou City, but many reporters did not follow. After all, Jiang Feng returned to Jiangzhou City, either to inspect the Jiangzhou Shicheng International Airport under construction, or to go home to visit relatives. Jiang Feng is not a star after all, and many reporters are not interested in reporting everything, and readers will not like to watch the trivial things in Jiang Feng's life. Readers love to read gossip and hot news.

Just after many reporters neglected these two days, Jiang Feng first announced the establishment of a women's football club in Jiangzhou City, which is a women's football club!

When he learned that Jiang Feng was preparing to form a women's football club in Jiangzhou City, many reporters were thunderous.

This is incredible, how could Jiang Feng invest in women's football?!

Just when many reporters were looking at it, Jiangfeng's "Jiang's Biotechnology Company" invested another 100 million yuan to sponsor the women's football league, surpassing the naming rights of the Chinese men's football league. This is the first time that the sponsorship of the women's league has exceeded that of the men's league.

In just two days, Jiang Feng made such a big move, which made many reporters regret their deaths. These two sensational news events were caused by reporters from all over the country who could only refer to what the reporters in Jiangzhou City had written, adding a little fuel to the fire, which made it extremely difficult for many reporters who claimed to be big newspapers. Therefore, when I heard that Jiang Feng had held a press conference again, I immediately rushed to Jiangzhou City one after another.

"Guys, I've just reached an agreement with the General Directorate of Sports that the women's national team will play a warm-up match against my Manchester United team. Of course, in this warm-up game, CCTV 5 and Jiangzhou Satellite TV 5 will be broadcast live throughout the whole process. Jiang Feng said straight to the point.

All the reporters were in an uproar. The Chinese women's football team played a warm-up match with Jiang Feng's Manchester United, and the news was too exciting!

Think about Manchester United's lineup, gorgeous! Manchester United have always been a superstar team, with Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Keane, the Neville brothers, Rio Ferdinand and other star players in the team. Although, in this summer, the team lost superstar David Beckham, but this summer, Jiang Feng spent another $130 million to introduce Ronaldinho, Rooney, Drogba, Robben, Ronaldo and other players, which greatly supplemented the team's strength. Such a lineup is to put it mildly, in the world, it is the best. In this era, Manchester United, along with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, are considered to be the strongest football clubs.

How is it not surprising that such a luxurious team actually plays against the Chinese women's national football team? What's more, this is women's football, and it is even more of a gimmick to let women's football compete with one of the strongest teams in men's football clubs in the world today.

At the moment, many reporters were excited. This news is so exciting, so exciting. This is probably the first time in the history of world football. For the first time in the world, one of the best soccer teams in the world is playing against a women's soccer team.

"Mr. Jiang, will Xiao Luo appear? Do Chinese women's football girls play football or watch people? ”

"Mr. Jiang, will Drogba play? He's so strong, can the Chinese girl's defense resist it? ”

"Mr. Lin, will Keane appear? He's known for his ferocious defence in midfield, so will he show mercy this time? ”

……

Many reporters asked one question after another, this news was so exciting, too exciting, so exciting that many reporters trembled with excitement in their hearts.

Thinking about so many superstars, competing with the girls of the Chinese women's football team on the same green field, there are so many stories in between, and there are so many stories to discover.

Thinking about Drogba's strong body like a calf, galloping on the backline of the Chinese women's football team, as well as the brutal Keane's defense in the midfield, and Ronaldinho's fancy ball skills, this game really has too many highlights.

"Guys, whether Ronaldinho, Drogba and others will play or not, can only be decided by manager Alex Ferguson. But the only guarantee I can be sure is that Manchester United will play as many players as possible in this warm-up game. And this is a semi-warm-up, semi-teaching game to test the Chinese women's football team, so my team will definitely not let go of water. Jiang Feng said with a smile.

Sending the main force out of the game, and never letting go of the water, what will be the final score?

In addition to being pleasantly surprised, many reporters began to silently calculate the strength of the two sides. With such a calculation, many reporters have a feeling that their brains are numb, this ...... This one...... I'm afraid it's going to be a super high score.

But if so, will this warm-up match and teaching match completely destroy the confidence of the women's football girls?

Just when many reporters were about to ask Jiang Feng again, Jiang Feng had already announced the end of the press conference and got up to leave. (To be continued.) )
