Bulgarian-born international player and former Meizhou Hakka foreigner Bojinov, while participating in a podcast program, disclosed his staggering experiences of playing in the Chinese Super League. Upon hearing this, fans chortled, "This is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people." Speaking of unprofessional, we are professional to the core!
I had thought that only the CFA looked amateurish in their spare time, always having amateurs leading the experts. I didn't realize that Chinese Super League clubs were the same way, with experts having to listen to the advice of amateurs. Looking back at the history of the national team, both local and foreign coaches have been influenced by amateur advice when selecting players. It is reported that when Jankovic first took office, the Football Association gave him a list of 50 players, while the 23-member national team list had to be chosen from.
Guangzhou Evergrande, usually regarded as a model of professionalism in the Chinese Super League, has also made a number of amateurish moves, such as letting Carnavaro attend training courses or the owner's proposal of an all-Chinese class. Overall, Guangzhou Evergrande's management style has been recognized by many fans as a model for Chinese Super League teams, at least with clear rules on rewards and punishments.
Today, there is only one Chinese Super League (CSL) club left in Guangdong Province, Meizhou Hakka. I would have thought that the management of a Chinese Super League (CSL) club in a prefecture-level city would be standardized and in place. However, former Meizhou Hakka foreign aid player, Bulgarian player Bogdanov, talked about his strange experience in the Chinese Super League in a podcast, which surprised the fans.
"I had just fallen asleep. At 2 a.m., the phone suddenly rang. It turned out to be my Mr. Cho, who asked me to make sure I went over. He wanted to see me. Upon arriving at Mr. Zhao's house, I found him lying on the couch with an Erikson book in his hand. He said, "Now I'll read you a chapter and let's discuss it!"
"He read it in Chinese and I translated it into English. It was after 2:00 a.m. and I was sleepy. After listening to him for half an hour, he suddenly asked me, "How can I win the game tomorrow?" You woke me up at 2:00 in the middle of the night, and now it's 3:30, when am I going to sleep? We have to train in the morning! I don't understand what the hell these people are doing."
This is what Bozinov told in the podcast. The fans were incredulous to hear this. Are we really just experts? Speaking of unprofessional, we may be the real professionals. First of all, Bozinov is just a player, not a coach. When asked how to win a game, he should have asked the coach, not the players. Secondly, even if he needs to ask, it shouldn't be at 2:00 in the middle of the night, especially if the team has practice and a game the following day.
Some fans teased whether Mr. Zhao wanted his team to lose, so he called the foreign aid to study in the middle of the night as a way of depleting the foreign aid's form. Regardless of the reason, once Bodinov's words came out, I believe many foreign aiders will feel too unreliable to play soccer in China.
