Chapter 111 Club Yacht Dinner
The weather at the beach can change as it is said to change. The sky was still clear just now, but when the wind is strong, it will soon be covered with dark clouds.
Li Qiao and Prahimi packed their things and prepared to go back to the hotel room.
"Ah, bad",
"What's wrong"?Li Qiao asked.
"I even forgot to ask for Beckham's autograph."
"So", Li Qiao means so what?
Seeing Li Qiao's regretful and eager look, Li Qiao thought to himself: "If I saw my idol Baggio but didn't ask for an autograph, maybe I would be more regretful than Prahimi in front of me."
"Okay, don't be like this, let me tell you a secret," Li Qiao said.
Li Qiao whispered something close to Prahimi's ear, and Prahimi immediately jumped up, "Really, do you have Xiaobei's phone number? Then tell me."
"That can't be done",
"why"?
"There is no reason, but I can find a way to help you get a jersey signed by Beckham," Li Qiao said.
"real"?Prahimi now has the expression of a child eager for a toy.
"certainly".
*****
"Guess who Joe and I met this morning"?Prahimi said to Nekonan.
"who"?The Iranian replied simply, he was not interested in playing such a boring game with Brahimi.
"Every Player's Idol",
"Idol"?
Nei Kenan is a ***, and his biggest idol is Allah "Allah".
"Have you seen Allah"?
With a puff, Li Qiao squirted out the orange juice he just took a sip of.
Brahimi felt bored and said, "No, it's Beckham."
"Who is David Beckham, is I as famous as Nekonan"?
Prahimi rolled his eyes in his heart, he was just like Li Qiao, it was jealousy.
"Really?" Hassler on the side took up the conversation. When he practiced free kicks when he was young, his idol was Beckham, so he was quite excited to hear Brahimi mention Beckham.
Seeing that he met his confidant, Prahimi immediately picked up the dinner plate and moved it to Hasler's side. Sure enough, the two chatted quickly.
At this moment, Stan came, and everyone stopped talking and put down what they were doing.
"Bad weather", Stan's first words to everyone.
The players wondered, isn't it a British habit to talk about the weather in the first sentence when meeting?Stan you are not British.
"Hopefully it doesn't interfere with the yacht dinner in the evening club," Stein said.
It is only now that everyone understands why Stan complained about the weather in the first sentence when they met. It turns out that there are activities at night, and it seems that he is still at sea.
"Put on your suits tonight, lads, the boss's coming, a lot of big shots are coming," Stein continued.
The suits are custom-made by the club for the players. They are used as uniforms during the expedition. Li Qiao once wore a dark blue suit in front of Diana.
*****
When night fell and the players saw the huge yacht on the pier, most of them were startled. As professional players, everyone was well-informed, but it was indeed the first time they saw such a large yacht.
It's more like a warship than a yacht.
This yacht built in Hamburg, Germany, is said to be built on the same platform as the dock where the warship was built. There are only two yachts of this level in the world, one is the one in front of you, and the owner of the other is the famous Chelsea owner "Abramovich". It is said that only Chelsea's captain "Lampard" has been on Abramovich's luxury yacht.
In normal times, when these players see a 2000 million yuan "Bugatti" sports car, they just take a look at it. After all, most people can still afford a 2000 million yuan car, and the behemoth in front of them is said to cost more than the Airbus A380.
Even taking Recoba as an example, with his annual salary of 400 million euros, if he wants to buy the yacht in front of him, he will have to play for 100 years without getting injured.
So after the players got on the yacht, it was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, which is understandable.
On the way here, I felt that the wind was quite strong tonight, but after getting on the yacht, I felt very stable. The little black Brahimi is a landlubber, and he was always worried that he would get seasick. Fortunately, it seems that the problem is not serious now.

The decoration of the cabin is all laid with LED screens, and the patterns can be switched at any time. This is a decoration style that will never go out of date, and of course it is also made of money.
When everyone was seated, the hall was full of people. It looked like they were all dignitaries. Li Qiao saw some acquaintances, such as the famous Italian coach Lippi. It turned out that Lippi was really invited by the club owner, but not to replace Stan, but to serve as a consultant for Chinese football.
Today's host did not appear, and there was no food on the table, only soda and juice. Li Qiao picked up a glass of water, took a sip, and loosened his tie lightly. Li Qiao was still not used to wearing formal clothes for a long time.
At this time the club owner appeared, he walked onto the stage, came to the microphone, everyone stood up and gave warm applause.
The owner of Guangzhou Tianbao is a Confucian businessman. Unlike many local tyrants in China today, he is a businessman with vision, which can be seen from the fact that he runs a football club.
This is like Silvio Berlusconi in Italy, who invested in AC Milan for decades, but actually did not make money. However, the success of AC Milan has brought Berlusconi great fame that cannot be measured by money. Some people have said that Berlusconi’s success as the Prime Minister of Italy is not because of his ability or money, but because of AC Milan.
Some people say that football is a war in peacetime. I think it is wrong. I think football is the face of a country in peacetime. How much face does an AC Milan give Italy.
The boss of Guangzhou Tianbao also has the same idea. He wants to use football to earn face for the rising China.
So the boss's first sentence was astonishing and shocked everyone present, that is, he announced that he would increase the bonus for winning the AFC Champions League from the original 5000 million yuan to 1 million yuan, which is nearly 330 million yuan per person.
The boss's rhetoric received the warmest applause from the guests on stage.
Of course, those who have money are just local tyrants, and then the boss began to analyze the form of the AFC Champions League, which is even more impressive.
In fact, this is very similar to Berlusconi. Old Bei runs AC Milan. Apart from his wealth and mastery of the Italian media empire, the more important point is that Berlusconi knows football very well. From team transfers to choosing a head coach, Lao Bei can give very pertinent opinions. In contrast to Lao Bei is the owner of Inter Milan, "Moratti". Although he is also a super rich man, Moratti is obviously not as good as Berlusconi in terms of football knowledge.
First of all, he analyzed the team's next opponent "Ittihad". The boss feels that "Ittihad" is not to be feared. Saudi football has regressed rapidly in the past 10 years, not only at the national team level, but also at the club level.
And he predicted that the UAE is likely to become the next football hegemony in the Gulf, replacing Saudi Arabia.
Even professional football players may not be able to make this prediction. Everyone glanced at Lippi and thought: "I guess this is what Yinhu told the boss."
After passing the "Ittihad" level, the final team is likely to meet South Korea's "Seoul FC".
This South Korean powerhouse used to be the banner of East Asian football against West Asia in the AFC Champions League.
More importantly, when it comes to Korean football, you have to mention three words, which are three words that make all Chinese football players, and even Chinese people who like football, look down, "Korea-phobia".
In the records of dozens of matches between the Chinese national team and the South Korean national team for decades, the Chinese team has only won once, and it was still in the irrelevant "East Asian Cup".
In important competitions, such as the World Cup qualifiers, Olympic qualifiers, and Asian Cup, the Chinese team has never defeated the South Korean team, so I don’t know when the word "Koreaphobia" has lingered on Chinese football and has become a lingering nightmare.
Later, this nightmare was not only at the national team level, but also spread to the club level. It was also difficult for Chinese clubs to win when they encountered South Korean clubs in the AFC Champions League.
So if you meet a South Korean team in the AFC Champions League final, then defeating the opponent is undoubtedly the best chance to wash away the 3 words of Korean fear.
Speaking of this, the joyous atmosphere at the beginning was swept away. Everyone is from the football circle. Everyone knows how shameful the three words Korean-phobia are.
Seeing such an atmosphere, the boss of Guangzhou Tianbao on the stage was happy instead. He continued: "1 million RMB is very important, but what is more important is the honor, the honor of Chinese football, boys, I hope you will bring the honor back."
Many foreign players from Guangzhou Tianbao under the stage did not know the history of Chinese football and Korean football, but Stan knew it very well. After listening to the boss’s words, he applauded heavily in response to the boss, and the others followed Stan’s applause. Immediately, the guests in the audience regained their vitality and shouted, “Yes, he’s a Korean, we must take off the hat of Koreanphobia.”
At this time, Li Qiao was the most passionate person in his heart. He clenched his fists and vowed secretly that he must win the reputation of Chinese football.
The goal has been achieved, and the speech of the boss of Guangzhou Tianbao is also over. The clever arrangement, the [-] million bonus, and the spiritual mobilization, he believes that the goal of this dinner has been achieved. As a businessman, he has earned enough money. His next goal is the same as that of Berlusconi, which is national honor and dignity.
