Foreign aid: Chinese football is too abnormal, the team owner called me for a meeting at 2 o'clock in the morning

Recently, former Serie A star and famous Bulgarian striker Bodinov accepted an exclusive interview with "Novsport". Later in his career, Bodinov played for Meizhou Hakka, a Chinese league team. Recalling his years in China, Bodinov said he thought the way Chinese football was managed was very chaotic, and that the owner of the team woke him up at 2 a.m. for a meeting, which made him cry.

"I was playing in China at the time, and one time at two o'clock in the morning, my phone rang suddenly. "I was woken up in my deep sleep and couldn't help yelling: What the hell is going on? A voice came from the other side of the phone saying that it was a call from the team owner and that I had to get up now because the boss wanted to see me." I had no choice but to get dressed and go out. Entering the boss's office, he was lying on the couch in his pajamas, holding a book written by Erickson, and said to me: I'm going to read you one of these chapters now, and then we'll discuss it. He read it in Chinese, and the translator translated it into English for me, and he read it for more than half an hour, and it was early in the morning, and I was really sleepy......"

"Finally he asked me, 'How do you feel, how are we going to win tomorrow?' he remembered the next day, I really wanted to get angry, and now he woke me up at 2 a.m. and we have training early tomorrow morning. I looked at my watch, it was half past three, and I just wanted to know when I could sleep. Playing in the Chinese team, I feel that the thinking of these people is completely abnormal and chaotic. Bodinov said.

Bodinov joined Meizhou Hakka in 2017 and was once the team's top scorer, but eventually left the club early that summer. After leaving China, Bodinov has repeatedly complained about the level and management of Chinese football, which may be the reason why he left Meizhou early.
