Starting from a Fake University-Chapter 1546 - 817: Principal Ding’s Football Rise Plan! (Please Subscribe)

"Go ahead."

Ding Yue looked at Bin and asked, "You know the saying, ’three ordinary men together make a Zhuge Liang.’ Share your thoughts so Huang and I can take them into consideration."

"Yeah, yeah, Bin, tell us—do you have any good ideas to help mediate this conflict?"

Huang Youjie asked expectantly.

"Alright, I’ll give it a shot."

Xu Bin took a deep breath and then said, "It’s just an immature idea, but maybe it can serve as a reference. Basically, since we want the players to pursue their football dreams while ensuring their livelihood, why don’t we create a specialized promotion path tailored to our Feiyue Football Club?"

"What do you mean?"

Ding Yue eyed Xu Bin and said, "Explain more."

"Right now, domestic players have this mindset of coasting and treating their careers like retirement homes. Over time, this attitude will seriously affect the players at our Feiyue Football Club, and they’ll develop the same mentality, which would be disastrous. So my suggestion is to set up a brand-new system that will help our players sustain their enthusiasm and passion over the long term."

Xu Bin elaborated, "First of all, when it comes to rewards, we can make it so players can’t obtain them too easily."

"Exactly! We set thresholds!"

Huang Youjie jumped in after hearing this, eagerly replying, "Set performance benchmarks for the players to earn significant rewards. That way, if they want to secure their livelihoods, they’ll have to put in effort."

"Yeah."

Ding Yue was quite supportive of Bin’s suggestion.

Indeed, this approach was necessary—to set up a system at Feiyue Football Club where players only get substantial rewards after achieving a certain level of performance, like winning certain matches. If not, they’d only receive basic rewards to cover their living costs.

"But Yue, the baseline treatment for players needs to be improved as well. After all, these players dedicate all their energy to training day in and day out. When it comes to basic living conditions, we can’t let them feel disheartened."

Xu Bin added.

"Agreed."

Ding Yue nodded, expressing no objection.

This approach was already a step ahead of the major domestic football clubs. At those clubs, the players hardly seemed to train seriously or show ambition during the year, yet they still received ridiculously high annual salaries.

In an environment like that, how could you possibly develop a real national football team?

"But just doing this might still not be enough."

Suddenly, Huang Youjie spoke up.

"True, Bin, your suggestion mainly addresses the internal demands for Feiyue Football Club. We can be stricter with our club’s players. It’s easier to manage their dreams and realities that way—but what about the incoming talent?"

Ding Yue nodded and looked at Xu Bin, saying, "Youth development is another critical phase. We must create our own youth training system."

"Ah, yes, yes, a youth training system is incredibly important."

Xu Bin realized this too and quickly nodded, saying, "But to establish a youth training system, we’ll need significant investment. Moreover, the personnel responsible for implementation must go through rigorous evaluations."

"If Feiyue Football Club builds its own youth training system, it could actually turn out quite well. For instance, retired players from our club could become trainers at the youth club, creating a positive cycle that perpetuates itself."

Huang Youjie analyzed.

"That’s exactly what I imagined—not just a youth training system, but on top of it, a robust league system."

Ding Yue said thoughtfully, "Counting on the football association to handle this is probably a no-go. Instead, it might be better for us to gradually establish our own league system within our capabilities, using it to nurture youth players. What do you think?"

"Once we have the youth training system and the league, we could start cultivating outstanding young football players. That would undoubtedly be a huge benefit for professional football development, but... can we really pull it off?"

Xu Bin posed a soul-searching question.

After all, relying on just Feiyue Football Club to support such an ambitious vision would indeed be challenging. Logically, these initiatives should be spearheaded by the football association in collaboration with domestic football clubs.

However, they were all well aware of the efficiency and current state of domestic football clubs and the football association. If things were working well, netizens across the country wouldn’t have such harsh criticisms of the national team.

"As long as we’re willing to invest time, funds, and find a group of genuinely dedicated individuals who care about the development of domestic football, I believe it’s possible."

Ding Yue’s eyes carried a flicker of confidence.

After so many years, the national football team should finally rise to its feet. Otherwise, just as people often say, they’d truly have no pride left to salvage.

"I think it’s doable. In a country as vast as Xia Country, are you telling me we can’t gather a group of passionate football enthusiasts? With Feiyue Group backing them, these football lovers would have solid support."
