Zhao Yaning thought for a while, and without too much hesitation, he took on the bet.

"Joy, you're at a loss," Squillac shook his head, "once every two years for the African Cup and every four years for the Asian Cup, he has a much greater chance of winning than you."

Drogba disagreed with this statement, "But our competition is much greater than them. Africa has giants like Egypt, and teams such as Cameroon are all strong teams, but what about Asia? There are not many strong teams in Asia, right? How could they not win the championship? Or did the Asian games be played like the Korean team?"

Drogba's words made several people laugh: After the Korean and Japanese World Cup, the South Korean team has been joked by European players.

Although the only ones who hated Koreans at the beginning were the Spanish and Italians, this trend spread later. Although no one dared to say anything on the surface, they all joked about Koreans in private.

In fact, South Korea is also unfair: the Korean team in 2002 was indeed the strongest Korean team ever. The Korean team was united, worked hard, and worked hard. Although they were not good at skills, they were physically sufficient and willing to run. They could be said to be a very strong team.

But that kind of strength is not an opponent of Italy and Spain. They defeated these two teams with the Black Wing, and the impression they left on people was naturally the Black Wing. The glorious side, probably only their own people would remember it.

"It's not that exaggerated, but Asian football is indeed not very clean." Zhao Yaning thought about what he saw in the magazine. He had heard other people talk about West Asian football, as well as South Korea and Japan, and then suddenly realized that the idiots in the Chinese Football Association were doing so badly even bribing the upper class, bribing referees, and intrigues to engage in politics.

But at this time, he could not complain about this, "China's luck has never been very good, and there is no one above that can speak, and it is rarely taken care of. And now, there are new problems."

Zhao Yaning thought for a moment, said a few simple words about the things that each team had not taken on, and then began to smile bitterly, "Everyone is counting on making money... Just seeing Qi Zu, Figo's transfer fee is surprising, I forgot how Rome, Lazio, and Florence went bankrupt..."

This statement didn't touch Squillac: France is a player exporter, and the number of players sold to foreign countries every year is the world's number one, and even Brazil is far behind. It is difficult for France to imagine that it is difficult for them to not accept the green and yellow market.

But Drogba is willing to find a solution.

"You can invest in a football school yourself. There are many people in Africa who do this. And you don't have to pay all your money. You can contact the government, provide technical support with your fame and connections, and let the government provide land. At the same time, you start fundraising in Europe and call on people to donate to children in the Third World - if you do this, you don't have to spend too much money and you can still gain a good reputation, which is very cost-effective. I have always thought that when I have money and fame in the future, I will do the same." Drogba reminded him.

"I thought about it..." Zhao Yaning explained his problem, "The main thing is social security. If a player is injured, it will be difficult to treat his illness, and if a player is forced to retire, it will be difficult to place him. At the same time, if the trained players are not attainable, there will be no place to go."

"Will you run a hospital yourself?" Drogba immediately gave his opinion, "If you run a specialty hospital, won't it be solved? The hospital is also a good investment. You won't lose money at any time. The money they earn will be used to fill the cost of players' treatment. Wouldn't it be great to kill two birds with one stone?"

Zhao Yaning had never thought about this idea before, but now he thought about it, it was really good.

But the question is, does China allow private hospitals? Zhao Yaning can't remember it anymore. It seems that in his memory, all the hospitals are run by the state.

"And those who can't continue their careers will be easier. Isn't your country's football professional? The industry around football also needs talents? Isn't it enough to let them do those things? Scouts, coaches, journalists, writers, and even lawn mowing, don't they all need people?"

"As for those who have played out, it's even better. If you buy a club yourself, you'll have to end it?" Drogba said. "If you train the players yourself, you'll sell them if you use them well. If you don't pursue good results or pursue a large amount of income, you're a team to train talents. As long as you don't want to make a lot of money, you don't have to think too much about investing. Let the team take the profits and losses of the team yourself, it's enough to make him run on his own. Isn't this a good thing?"

These things are something Zhao Yaning never thought of. He never thought that training players can be linked to making money.

But it makes sense to think about it. If you buy a club yourself without requiring grades, it doesn’t matter what you play. It’s just to cultivate talents, you won’t pay much. The main thing to lose money in the football industry is to lose money on the value and salary of big-name stars, and other things are average. If you really don’t pursue grades and don’t need the team to pay any money to yourself, the team can really make it work well and can also train youth training.

Wenger's ability to cultivate talents while producing achievements while making money is no one in China. But if you don't have results, don't make money, as long as you train talents, it will be much easier. France is full of such teams, with Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 rising and falling back and forth, and if you have money, you don't invest in signings. You just rely on youth training to make a living. Such teams can generally make profits. If you don't ask for profit, you should do better, right?

Zhao Yaning heard from the coaches about how much the youth training cost: among the Ligue 1 teams, Lyon is the most powerful youth training. They recruit talents from the whole of France and update equipment every year, but even so, their annual investment is only about 10 million euros. This money includes the introduction of young players, the salary of coaches and many other losses.

Lyon's youth training level has become the leading youth training in Ligue 1 after entering the new century. Even if it is placed in the world, it can compete with Real Madrid, the two La Liga champions, and Barcelona, ​​among the top three in the world. I don't ask for that kind of excellent youth training, but just establish an ordinary youth training camp. At the same time, with the lower prices in China, it shouldn't cost much, right?

"And if you are worried, you can also find foreign players from France." Squillac also spoke, "Since your Chinese football level is not very good, then French Ligue 2 level should be able to play football in your place, right? Spend more money and find one or two good foreign players. Leave the results to foreign players. The club just blindly trains youth training, so I have taken care of them all?"

Zhao Yaning has never thought about these things before, but now thinking about it, he also thinks it is a solution.

"How could you think about these things?" Zhao Yaning looked at Drogba with some confusion.

"Our situation is similar. I have thought about the investment in African football. I will learn from it and learn from it." Drogba shrugged and said it very easily. "But the difference may be that our country really has no money to invest in football, while your country does not value football and no one is willing to invest."

No, they attach great importance to football. Zhao Yaning sneered. It’s just that what they value is different. They hope that football will become their money tree, and it is best to be their promotion talisman at the same time. As for the development of football and the achievements of football, they don’t care.

The General Administration of Sports doesn't care because they are in charge of the departments that produce results such as table tennis, badminton, diving, and gymnastics. It doesn't matter if a Football Association is not good. The Football Association doesn't care. They are the department that pays the most money in the General Administration. Although they don't produce results, have no status, and have no chance of promotion, as long as they have money, they don't have to worry about the General Administration being overly harsh. Club owners don't care. They are a group of businessmen and only consider making money. As for the players, others don't care, why should the players care?

"Will this work in your Africa? Will the Football Association interfere?" Zhao Yaning still asked his own question with some doubts.

"In some African countries, as long as you are willing to pay the Football Association and let the Football Association listen to you and change the chairman." Drogba answered.

This made Zhao Yaning really unable to imagine what kind of country and what kind of football association it would have?

It would be great if the Chinese Football Association was like this... I was so determined, gave them some money, and then had the final say, and played whatever I wanted. But the problem was that Chinese football would not be like that. The leaders of the Football Association were still counting on using the Football Association as a springboard for their promotion. What they wanted was political achievements, not money.

Bureaucracy is used to describe the Football Association as having no mistake at all.

"Football is weak, and you will definitely suffer a lot if you want to develop." Drogba saw Zhao Yaning's expression and spoke slowly, "A country like us cannot compare with Europeans. They have money and regard football as entertainment and are willing to invest money. We cannot compare with South America. Those countries regard football as an industry and are profitable industries. We cannot do it. Asian and African countries do not have enough social security, and secondly, they do not have a good sports foundation. It is not so easy to develop."

Zhao Yaning nodded. Drogba's words did make sense.

But at this time, another question lingered in his mind - such a method, Drogba could not think of Zhang Yuan? If he wanted to say it, Zhang Yuan's thoughts on people and things, his long-term training was much better than Drogba. He has been in France for a long time. Can't he see what happened to African football? If he saw it and knew that he wanted to do something in Chinese football, why didn't he tell him? Zhang Yuan has always opposed Zhao Yaning's idea of ​​investing in Chinese football. Could it be that he knew that there was a way, but he didn't tell him without telling him?
