football is not round

Next time:
Ma Feifei came to the exclusive box of Nuan Xiaoxi's Mengxi Stadium: "Mr. Nuan, the governor will arrive in 10 minutes, and Mr. Li told you to go down."

"Okay." Nuan Xiaoxi put down her glass, straightened her suit and went out with Ma Feifei.

"What's supposed to come always comes, and it's finally here." Nuan Xiaoxi muttered in a low voice while walking.

In fact, Nuan Xiaoxi still understands this kind of official affairs, although she has not experienced the baptism of officialdom.Nuan Xiaoxi has watched her parents welcome and see her off since she was a child, and her mother's family is in the officialdom, and she grew up with her grandparents, so she knows this very well.

Regarding today's reception, although Nuan Xiaoxi didn't say anything, she still felt that it was too much fanfare and the standard was seriously exceeded.But after all, it was all the wishes of the people below, and Nuan Xiaoxi couldn't say anything.

In Nuan Xiaoxi's view, the deputy governor in front of him was not the executive deputy governor, nor even a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, but a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Government.Even the mayor of Xiaolian City is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, not to mention the two parents of Shengcheng.Don't look at it, just one word is missing, there is a big difference between the provincial standing committee and the provincial standing committee.

But after all, the county magistrate is now in charge, who told him to be in charge of the education and sports department, no matter which department he has absolutely no reason to neglect.After all, my community football plan is not to allow all young people to engage in the football industry, but to hope that the children who are studying can have a place to exercise and a place to keep fit.Therefore, the expansion plan of the school will naturally rely on the strong support of the governor who is not very powerful. In short, if the plan is implemented, it will be a win-win situation.

Nuan Xiaoxi arrived at the entrance of the management personnel of the stadium, and saw the club's general manager Li Jinyu, deputy general manager Mao Jie, and Zhu Guangliang, the vice-manager of the outreach team, were all standing there neatly.

"Boss Nuan."

"Boss Nuan."

"Boss Nuan."

. . . . . .

Everyone greeted Nuan Xiaoxi one after another, and Nuan Xiaoxi nodded frequently in response.

"The Governor arrived quite early." Nuan Xiaoxi looked at Li Jinyu and said.

"The governor said he didn't have dinner, so he just came over to eat your barbecue early, haha." Li Jinyu joked.

"Who's in charge of the grill?"

"Xiao Sun went to deal with it. I think she usually ordered it for you, so I let her go. I should be back soon from this meeting. I asked her to wait somewhere."

"Did I say that I saw Xiao Cao in the box just now. She is in charge of serving today?"

"Don't worry, this kid has eyesight." Li Jinyu promised.

"Two rounds are added to the food, especially if you go to the bathroom after halftime, then you have to step on the time to add it." Nuan Xiaoxi instructed.

"Well, okay." Li Jinyu nodded.

"Where to put dinner? Back to the new base?"

"When the new base landed, Governor Chen came to inspect it when you were in Europe. This time, there should be no need to go there. I asked the province for details, but I didn't give a clear answer. If you want to eat, I think you should go to the hotel."

"It's too ostentatious, it's better to have the base restaurant. Let the materials be prepared over there."

Li Jinyu hurriedly turned around and told the people around him earnestly.

The leader's time is golden, the time is really punctual, it was only 10 minutes after Nuan Xiaoxi got out of her box, and seeing two Audi A6 cars driving in the Mengxi Stadium, the governor arrived.Then two buses drove in, and the two teams that played today also arrived.

"Hello Governor Chen." Nuan Xiaoxi strode forward and shook Governor Chen's hand.

"Nuan Dong is good, Nuan Dong is good." Governor Chen responded, "General Manager Li Jinyu, I know him, please introduce the others."

"This is Miss Cat, the deputy general manager of the club." Nuan Xiaoxi followed Governor Chen and pointed at Miss Cat.

"Hello, Governor Chen," Sister Cat greeted Governor Chen.

"Domestic big brokers, celebrities, even Secretary Han in the province know your name, haha." Governor Chen shook Sister Mao's hand and praised her.

"Thank you, leader." Sister Cat said politely.

"This is Zhu Guangliang, the deputy manager of Wailian." "This is my secretary, Ma Feifei." . . . . .

Nuan Xiaoxi introduced them one by one, and then they split into two groups. Nuan Xiaoxi and Li Jinyu led Governor Chen and his secretary to Nuan Xiaoxi's box, Zhu Guangliang and Sister Mao followed, and the others went to Li Jinyu's box.

"Governor, sit down," Nuan Xiaoxi pointed to the main seat in the room.

After Governor Chen sat down, "I heard that you have a secret barbecue, come quickly, haha."

"Xiao Cao, let's go." Li Jinyu ordered.

Afterwards, all kinds of barbecues were placed on the table in the box, "Come here, Governor, you can try it." Nuan Xiaoxi shared the barbecue.

"That's right. I've always been curious when I heard that you always eat. It's really good." Governor Chen commented while eating.

"The leader likes it, you come here often." Nuan Xiaoxi said politely.

After eating for a while, I heard a neat cheer outside.A lot of fans have entered the arena, and the players of the home team Shengcheng have also entered the arena to start the warm-up training before the game.When several well-known players ran under the East Stand, the stands would beat drums and shout the names of the players.

"Boom boom boom," "James."

"Boom boom boom," "James."

"Boom boom boom," "James."

"Boom boom boom," "James."

"Boom boom boom," "James."

. . . . . .

"Boom boom boom," "Yang Xu."

"Boom boom boom," "Yang Xu."

"Boom boom boom," "Yang Xu."

"Boom boom boom," "Yang Xu."

"Boom boom boom," "Yang Xu."

. . . . . .

The players also waved to the stands, and the relationship between the fans in Shengcheng and the club is extremely harmonious.

"Well, the atmosphere is good." Governor Chen looked outside with satisfaction.

"The atmosphere will be better when all the fans enter the stadium," Li Jinyu proudly introduced.

"Well, good, well done." Governor Chen gave Li Jinyu a thumbs up.

After eating for a while, Governor Chen motioned to Nuan Xiaoxi: "Go, go and have a look outside."

Nuan Xiaoxi got up to open the balcony door of the box, Governor Chen went up to the balcony, and then Nuan Xiaoxi followed.The people in the room continued to eat the delicacies on the table and drink the iced drinks.

"To be honest, three years ago, I really despaired of football in the province." Governor Chen said with emotion.

"Hehe, don't you think the leader is joking?" Nuan Xiaoxi continued carefully.

"Three years. At that time, it was the provincial team that was relegated every year in the Super League. They sold their main players for many years. Fortunately, the price of domestic players was inflated. It was barely maintained for a few years." Governor Chen said to himself.

At this moment, Nuan Xiaoxi seemed to be in deep thought.

Governor Chen looked up at the stadium and continued: "It was not easy for the owner of the team at that time, so I really didn't dare to ask too much. You have seen his business, except for taking a palm-sized land in the urban area of ​​Shengcheng. And it depends on which city gives some tax reduction policies every year, so I can play there as a home game for a season."

"En," Nuan Xiaoxi nodded.

"It's hard to change a big leader who likes football, but no big company in the province has the intention to take over. At that time, football was good in the whole country or in our country, but it was good everywhere, and the reputation was not good."

"Ah."

"When I heard that the picture-in-picture was going to take over, I was really happy. But seeing you here, I was really disappointed." Governor Chen unconsciously patted Nuan Xiaoxi on the shoulder. At 1.8 meters, Governor Chen was five centimeters taller than Nuan Xiaoxi. When he patted Nuan Xiaoxi on the shoulder, he unconsciously pulled him towards him.

Governor Chen looked at the sky in the distance, and continued: "I didn't know who you were at that time, but I knew you were Nuan's second child. But the evaluation in the circle didn't understand you, I don't know. You say I'm alone, what can the deputy governor do?" Then Governor Chen looked back at Nuan Xiaoxi, "Later, Governor Zhou met me because of the football layout and told me about your situation. Do you know what I thought when I saw your urban community football plan?"

"This is a naive plan..." Nuan Xiaoxi looked at Governor Chen and replied slowly.

"Wrong, I think you are a good speculator." Governor Chen continued to look at the players who were doing pre-match training in the stadium. "That plan is really good. It welcomes the Holy Spirit and is novel. Now the living conditions of ordinary people are better, but this house is still special to every family. A school district for children, a place for adults to exercise, and a place for the elderly to relax, even if it is more expensive? People can still buy your house with savings."

"Ah."

"To put it bluntly, the governor talked to me about this plan, and I know that your picture-in-picture ability is extraordinary!" Governor Chen unconsciously squeezed Nuan Xiaoxi's shoulder, "I don't think there are any real estate companies who don't want to do this kind of plan. Which businessman doesn't want to do things that make money? But only you can mobilize such a large amount of energy to start it."

"Hehe..." Nuan Xiaoxi could only laugh dryly at this moment.

"So I know that at least the football in the province will not be ruined under my tenure. Haha..." Governor Chen laughed after speaking.

"Hehe..." Nuan Xiaoxi laughed along with her.

"Don't worry, I guess you already know. The new school rating in the province is about to go to the Provincial Standing Committee for a meeting. I think Secretary Li, you can run again, and I will come over to say hello before submitting it in a few days. The pilot project must be started first in the two big cities. Don't worry about Xiaolian, I, Old Chen, are still a bit thin after all." Governor Chen looked at Nuan Xiaoxi and patted him on the shoulder after speaking.

"Governor Chen, thank you so much." Nuan Xiaoxi's words were sincere.

"Secretary Li, I think it's pretty good. There's nothing wrong with you running around more. Listening to the leadership's instructions will only benefit you and the company."

"Yes Yes."

"I heard that your club sponsors the Shengcheng International Marathon?"

"Ah."

"A good thing, a good thing, kill two birds with one stone. The club does more things like this, and the relationship with the fans is closer. After all, the fans are the water of the club!"

"Yes Yes."

"If you have [-] fans, [-] families are potential customers of your real estate company. What they buy is nothing but your Nuan Xiaoxi character."

"Taught, leader, really taught." Nuan Xiaoxi responded humbly.

The players on the court finished training and returned to the lounge one after another.Governor Chen pulled Nuan Xiaoxi: "Go back and continue eating, or they will finish eating, haha."

"Okay," Nuan Xiaoxi followed Governor Chen back to the box.

"How is your food? Have you saved some for Dong Nuan and me? Haha" Governor Chen joked after entering the room.

"It will be hot soon, leader." Li Jinyu said hastily.

After a while, Xiao Cao and Xiao Sun came in with a hot barbecue.

"Dong Nuan, you are so envious of me for your life, enjoying the barbecue and watching football, what a great day."

Nuan Xiaoxi turned up the volume of the TV, and the familiar commentary voice filled the box.

"This is the first double match of the season. The Shengcheng team is still at home. What does Director Tong think?" the commentator asked.

"Well, judging from today's starting lineup, the Shengcheng team should still take all three points. The starting lineup is two forwards, one Ike and one Yang Xu. It seems that James was injured in the game, right?"

"It should be, okay. I just got the starting lineup of both sides for this game. Let me introduce it first. Shengcheng team, the starting lineup is [-], forward Ike, forward Yang Xu, and midfielder Gotze..." The commentator introduced the starting lineup of both sides.

"In this same-city derby, the pressure on both sides should be high. I think the previous winning streak has placed a heavy burden on the Shengcheng team." Director Tong explained.

"Judging from the previous four games, the Shengcheng team's offensive ability is still very strong, but the defense is still relatively weak. However, the current lineup of the Shenbei team has not changed much compared with last season. In the first four games, they won one, drew and lost two. In this game, do you think the Shenbei team has a big chance?"

"Well, because of the previous winning streak, the Shengcheng team definitely wants to take the opponent with one bite when facing the weaker Shenbei team in this game. If the Shenbei team makes good use of this psychological advantage in this game and strengthens their defense, it will not be a big problem to keep the tie."

"Yes, the crucial moment for Shengcheng to hit the Super League last season was when they lost to the Shenbei team in the last minute."

"Yes, the Shengcheng team is only good on paper at the moment. In fact, when it comes to running-in, I think it is still close. Especially for the young people in the team, Yang Xu and Zheng Tao are experiencing double matches in a week for the first time. They are not in the same state in the last game. Whether they can adjust in time for this game is a problem. There is also a problem with Goetze and Ike's pass and cut, and the cooperation of running positions is also a problem."

"Hmm." The narrator looked at Guidance Tong.

"Gotze seems to be more suitable for passing the ball behind the back, so when there is no James in the last game, Yang Xu is not very effective."

"Yes."

"You can see that the starting winger has also been adjusted. Zhang Jing did not start, which shows that the head coach Piruk is also aware of the problem of the continuity of the young people's state."

"However, this time Li Qingcheng started the game. He didn't come out in the previous game. This time he will start directly. What does Director Tong think?"

"Well, I feel that this should be strictly speaking a four-three-three formation. We'll see at the beginning of the game. It should be Yang Xu himself at the front as the fulcrum in the middle, with Li Qingcheng and Ike on both sides. Ike played sideways once last season, so this time I tend to have this kind of play. When returning to defense, Li Qingcheng fell back to the full-back to participate in the defense. The midfielder should be Goetze himself. You see Li Tie is an absolute defensive midfielder. Another midfielder, Zhang Ye, I prefer not to play as a full-back. The method should be mainly defensive and stealing. You see, Li Tie still takes the ball to organize, and Zhang Ye plays more at this time because of the role of engineers."

"I remember that Zhang Ye also played on the wing last season?" the commentator asked.

"I played it before, so the Shengcheng team should switch between [-] and [-]." Director Tong explained.

"Wow, this switching style of play, even in the Super League, there are not many teams that should be able to use it freely?"

"Yes, but the club has full trust in both the guidance given to Ma and the current head coach Piluk. So now that Piluk is experimenting in the second-tier league, it is also preparing for the future AFC Champions League."

"AFC Champions League? Is this too early?" the commentator questioned.

"According to the current configuration, the defense should add a few strong main players in the next few windows." Guidance Tong explained.

"What do you think of Ma Fei who just transferred from Changchun?"

"The lad played well last season, and the newcomers emerging from the back line are different from the forwards."

"Teacher Tong, please explain to me what's different."

"Taking the forwards in this game as an example, the Shenbei team must focus on one or two people to take care of Ike, so the space available to the rookie Yang Xu is relatively large. The back line is different. If you are a rookie, compared to the other side, this side is often the opponent's focus of attack. So the mid-range team itself encountered more attacks last season. Ma Fei can sit steadily as the main force for a season, so his own strength must be beyond doubt. It depends on the state after the injury."

"I think the Shengcheng team has also promoted several guard players this season. Which one do you prefer?"

"Central defender, Li Weifeng."

"Oh, it seems that during the interview before the game, I remember that Li Jinyu and Pi Luke also mentioned this person."

"Well, yes, it's this player. He has very good physical fitness and he trains very hard. It's just that his temper is too hot. It would be better if he can restrain himself." Director Tong explained.

"Is Li Weifeng really that good?" Governor Chen asked Li Jinyu.

"Well, the strength is very strong. The height is 1.9 meters. This year, we are locals." Li Jinyu introduced.

"Oh, what position can I play?"

"A central defender, if the ball goes against the wind, he can go forward and play as a center forward. This game is on the bench." Li Jinyu added.

"Okay, okay, not bad, it seems that Zhang Enhua has successors..." Governor Chen said happily.

Who is Zhang Enhua?At his peak, Asia's No. [-] central defender, a saver, is a player who everyone will give a thumbs up when mentioning saver.After Zhang Enhua, there has not been a single top central defender in the province for ten years.

It is this young central defender who has high hopes that everyone will play in this game that will be soul-stirring even ten years later. What kind of role will he play?
Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.

This chapter is over.

Postscript (interlude, tidbits, extra episodes):

One winter ten years ago, there were a group of children playing football on campus, and two people over fifty years old stood beside the field.

"Who is this kid?" asked the old man wearing the logo of the provincial football team.

"Oh, his name is Li Weifeng. He's a nice kid with a good temper." Another old man introduced.

"If you have a temper, you are not afraid. Only with personality can you have a chance to become a star."

"This child's family is on the side of the pedestrian street of the railway station. The family conditions are average, but the family is very supportive, and the child's training is also very hard."

"Well, it looks okay."

"Li Weifeng, come here and practice juggling for us." The old man shouted to the children in the field.

"Well, okay." A kid named Li Weifeng ran over to practice juggling the ball for two old people.

Three years ago, in an ordinary house in Shengcheng Pedestrian Street.

"Well, I think the team owner is quite reliable this time. Let Li Weifeng come over." He was still the old man who wore the logo of the provincial football team back then, but today he was wearing the brand new Shengcheng picture-in-picture football team logo.

"Look at what you said, you are always the head coach of the team, we don't believe you, who do we believe?" Li Weifeng's father said.

"That's good, Li Weifeng, you have to practice hard. You are 15 years old, and you will be able to join the first team in two years. As long as you can play in the game, your parents won't spend so many years saving money for you, you know?" Mr. Ma told Li Weifeng.

"Don't worry, Coach Ma, I will train hard and strive to compete in the competition as soon as possible."

Today, the fifth round of the Shengcheng team's third season, Mengxi Stadium.

Li Weifeng's parents sat in the stands as they did in the past ten years, the difference is that there is no Li Weifeng around, and Li Weifeng sat on the team's bench for the first time in his football career.As a parent, I hope to see Li Weifeng play, but I am also worried about Li Weifeng playing.

Parents are like this, in their eyes, we will always be children.
