Bulgarian-born international and former Meizhou Hakka foreigner Bojinov shared his absurd encounter in the Chinese Super League while participating in a podcast interview. The comment was met with a chorus of fans saying, "This is really out of the box!" Talk about unprofessional, we're pros!
I thought only the CFA managed chaos in their spare time, but I didn't realize that Chinese Super League clubs were no exception. It's amazing that experts have to listen to amateurs. Looking back at past national team matches, regardless of whether the coach was local or foreign, the selection was subject to amateurs. I heard that when Jankovic first took office, the FA gave him a list of 50 people, and the final 23-man list of the national soccer team could only be sifted from these 50 people.
Guangzhou Evergrande is regarded as one of the most professional teams in the Chinese Super League, but there are also frequent amateur moves, such as letting Cannavaro participate in the training, the boss proposed the "all-China class". Overall, Guangzhou Evergrande's management is still recognized by many fans and is considered a model for Chinese Super League teams, at least in terms of rewards and punishments.
Today, there is only one Chinese Super League club left in Guangdong, Meizhou Hakka. How can a prefecture-level city produce a Chinese Super League team? I thought that the management of this club must be very standardized, but unexpectedly the former Meizhou Hakka foreign aid, Bulgarian star Bojinov, revealed his ridiculous experience in the Chinese Super League in a podcast, which made the fans' jaws drop.
"I was drifting off to sleep when the phone rang suddenly at 2am. It was Mr. Chiu on the other end, and he asked me to make sure I went. He wanted to see me. Upon arrival, I saw that Mr. Zhao was lying on the couch with an Erikson book in his hand. He said, 'I'll read you a chapter now and we'll discuss it!'
"He read it aloud in Chinese and I had to translate it into English. It was late at night and I was so sleepy that I listened to him read for half an hour, and at the end he asked me: 'How can I win the game tomorrow?' You woke me up at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, and now it's 3:30, when am I going to sleep? We have training tomorrow! I don't understand what the hell these guys are doing."
Here's Bodinov talking on the podcast. Fans were incredulous upon hearing this. We are indeed experts. Talk about unprofessional, we are even more so. First of all, Bozinov is just a player, not a coach, and his inquiry about how to win a game should rightly be consulted with a coach, not a player. Secondly, even if he wanted to consult, it should not be late at night and the team had a practice and game the following day.
Some fans teased that Mr. Zhao is not buying his team to lose, so he calls the foreign aid in the middle of the night to listen to his study and consume the foreign aid's state. Regardless of the reason, I believe that once Bodinov's words come out, many foreign aiders will feel that it is too unreliable to play soccer in China.
