football is not round

Next time:
A domestic football league that is on the verge of breaking out, the same-city derby between the Shengcheng PIP football team and the Shenbei team is about to begin.The commentator on TV inadvertently mentioned a newly promoted player from the youth team, Li Weifeng.

And Governor Chen also came to the stadium to watch the game as scheduled. Before watching the game, Nuan Xiaoxi invited Governor Chen to eat the barbecue that Governor Chen mentioned.When the players were training before the game, Governor Chen and Nuan Xiaoxi came to the balcony of the box and chatted privately for a while.Governor Chen affirmed Nuan Xiaoxi's contribution to building the team, and also told Nuan Xiaoxi that the province-wide school rating scheme change will soon be on the agenda, which Nuan Xiaoxi has always needed.At the same time, he promised Nuan Xiaoxi to help him deal with the problems in Xiaolian City that he has been unable to deal with.

A whistle sounded, and the city derby began.

In the room, Governor Chen clearly heard the fans in the stadium beating drums and shouting in unison:

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng...will win!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng...will win!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng...will win!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng...will win!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng...will win!"

. . . . . .

Then the Shengcheng team midfielder Gotze completed the steal, and then listened to the shouts of the fans in the stadium and changed it to:
"Boom, boom, boom!" "Gotze!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" "Gotze!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" "Gotze!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" "Gotze!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" "Gotze!"

. . . . . .

"Well, the atmosphere is good." Governor Chen said happily. "Come on, let's go outside and have a look together, it's rare to feel it."

Among these people, only Governor Chen and his secretary seldom watch football games live, so these two people are more excited than the others in the room.The whole room stood on the balcony, Governor Chen stood beside Governor Chen and Li Jinyu, and Zhu Guangliang naturally accompanied Governor Chen's secretary to get closer.Nuan Xiaoxi and Ma Feifei stood next to Li Jinyu, looking at the court for a while, and chatting in low voices for a while.

Seeing that the stands of Mengxi Stadium formed a sea of ​​red, basically the fans entering the stadium were all wearing red Shengcheng team uniforms.The stands on the first floor were already full, and the stands on the second floor were filled with one-third of the fans.

Fans in the East Stand and North Stand of Mengxi Stadium waved the flag of the team in response to the cheers and cheers of the fans, and the ribbons on the stands were also thrown into the air by the fans rhythmically.

"Are there any fireworks?" Governor Chen asked Li Jinyu in a low voice.

"The fire department still disagrees, and we haven't dared to communicate further." Li Jinyu replied.

"Doesn't the club also have an office in Germany? Do a good research on this matter. If you really can't do the fireworks yourself, just let the picture-in-picture show up."

"En, um." Li Jinyu nodded, then glanced at Nuan Xiaoxi.He found that Nuan Xiaoxi was lowering his head and talking to Ma Feifei, and didn't pay attention to this side.

"Safety comes first. When it's safe, the better the atmosphere, the better it will help promote football." Governor Chen said with emotion looking at the atmosphere in the stadium.

"Yeah, the last time this kind of scene happened was ten years ago." Li Jinyu is also a top striker in China, and he also recalled when he played football when he was young.

"No, you were a little tiger back then, and you left with the Golden Boots. Let's see who can snatch the Golden Boots from foreign players now, hey..." Governor Chen looked at Li Jinyu and said with emotion.

"Yang Xu, that's not bad." Li Jinyu pointed to Governor Chen at Yang Xu who was running in the field.

"Well, I've seen his ball, and it's far worse than yours back then."

"Hahaha..." Li Jinyu laughed.

At this time, Nuan Xiaoxi was still whispering with Ma Feifei, "I just talked to the governor, and he said he will handle Xiaolian's situation."

"Are you sure?"

"No, what can I do?" Nuan Xiaoxi said helplessly.

"Too."

"Will this handicap win?"

"No, just those people from the reserve team."

"To Shen Bei?"

"Ah."

"It really is a deal."

"I think you're going to the little connection tube next month for a few months."

"Don't go."

"Four months."

"don't go"

"Three months." Nuan Xiaoxi kept haggling over the price.

"NO!"

"Up to two months, definitely not more than three months." Nuan Xiaoxi promised in a low voice.

"Let me tell you, on the last day of three months, I will buy a bus ticket and come back."

"I miss you too."

"Pull it!" Ma Feifei gave Nuan Xiaoxi a white look.

"Ah..." Then I heard warm applause erupting from the stadium, then I heard loud shouts from the stands, and then there was a neat cheer.

"Boom boom boom" "Li Qingcheng"

"Boom boom boom" "Li Qingcheng"

"Boom boom boom" "Li Qingcheng"

"Boom boom boom" "Li Qingcheng"

"Boom boom boom" "Li Qingcheng"

. . . . . .

"Hey, I didn't see it..." Nuan Xiaoxi sighed and hurriedly turned around to watch the TV replay at the door of the box.

On the TV, the Shengcheng team midfielder Li Tie and Zhang Ye double-teamed the opponent's ball-handling player. The Shenbei team made a mistake and made a pass error.After Shengcheng's defender Zheng Tao got the ball, he found Li Qingcheng with a diagonal long pass at halftime.Li Qingcheng unloaded the ball, turned around, waded a few times, and shot a long-range shot from more than 30 meters away, and the ball hit the net.

The Shengcheng team scored in the opening 3 minutes, the score: one to zero.

Nuan Xiaoxi turned around and walked to the corner of her own balcony after reading it. Governor Chen turned around and patted him on the shoulder, "Congratulations, Director Nuan."

"Haha, just started, just started." Nuan Xiaoxi also responded.

After all, this game was a battle of the century, and then the two sides entered a state of anxiety. Although the Shenbei team was not as strong as the Shengcheng team and fell behind by another goal in the opening game, the overall formation did not panic.It is often this kind of century war that is easy to produce stars, and it is the same today.

The midfielder Jose of the Shenbei team broke through with the ball all the way. Although he did not completely get rid of the Shengcheng team's defense, he also stumbled and dribbled the ball to the Shengcheng team's penalty area.The central defender of the Shengcheng team stepped forward and stretched his legs to make a clearance, but Jose took advantage of the situation and fell into the penalty area.

"Di..." A whistle sounded, and the entire Mengxi Stadium was suddenly quiet, and the stadium with 4 people was completely silent.

The referee ran to the penalty area to point to the penalty spot, and then drew a yellow card to the center back of the Shengcheng team.

"Oh..." The sporadic away fans immediately cheered in the North Stand, and then they were drowned out by the overwhelming shouting and cursing.

"Damn." Nuan Xiaoxi cursed unconsciously. Although everyone on the balcony of the private room was very close, the only ones who could hear her were Li Jinyu and Ma Feifei who were beside Nuan Xiaoxi.The fans in Mengxi Stadium were so loud that they had drowned out all voices.

Jose of the Shenbei team placed the football and exited the penalty area.The stadium became quiet, and there was only "beep..." The referee blew his whistle.Jose started his run-up slowly, paused before the ball, and kicked to the left of the goal, tricking the goalkeeper of the Shengcheng team, and the ball was scored.

The opening of this game is doomed that this ball will be written in the history books, it is so exciting.10 minutes into the game, the score: one to one.

Li Tie, the captain of the Shengcheng football team, shouted loudly and waved his arms forward to encourage everyone.

"Beep..." A whistle sounded.The Shengcheng team kicked off, and several chamfers were passed to Li Qingcheng who had just passed halftime.After Li Qingcheng stopped the ball, the midfielder facing the Shenbei team suddenly started to speed up. Maybe the opponent did not expect it. Li Qingcheng accelerated all the way and dribbled the ball into the Shenbei team's penalty area. The speed was so fast that even the fans were a little stunned.Seeing Li Qingcheng's posture, the central defender of the Shenbei team saw Li Qingcheng's posture. He wanted to grab it, but quickly turned to avoid it. Then he saw that Li Qingcheng rubbed the chest of the central defender of the Shenbei team and fell directly into the penalty area. Then he got up and knelt on the ground, raised his hands and complained to the referee.

"Di..." The referee also ran over anxiously not far from the center circle, pointing to the penalty spot, another penalty kick.

It is estimated that for at least ten seconds, everyone seemed to be disconnected, and the stadium was silent like this.Then, the overall sound of drumming and Li Qingcheng's name sounded again:
"Boom boom boom" "Li Qingcheng"

"Boom boom boom" "Li Qingcheng"

"Boom boom boom" "Li Qingcheng"

"Boom boom boom" "Li Qingcheng"

"Boom boom boom" "Li Qingcheng"

. . . . . .

The forward Ike of the Shengcheng team was the first to run to Li Qingcheng, stretched out his hand to lift Li Qingcheng up, and then many teammates of the Shengcheng team also ran to the penalty area of ​​the Shenbei team to hug Li Qingcheng, patting his head to celebrate and praise Li Qingcheng.

Ike picked up the football and put it on the penalty spot, and Mengxi Stadium became quiet again.

"Tick..."

Ike ran up to the ball, shot hard, and the ball flew directly to the upper left corner.The goalkeeper of the Shenbei team touched the football, but the force of the ball was too great, and it still got into the net.

The opening No. 11 minutes, the score: [-] to [-], the Shengcheng team leads the Shenbei team again.

The familiar voice resounded throughout Mengxi Stadium again:

"Boom boom boom" "Ike"

"Boom boom boom" "Ike"

"Boom boom boom" "Ike"

"Boom boom boom" "Ike"

"Boom boom boom" "Ike"

. . . . . .

Then the two sides entered a state of anxiety again. In this game, Gotze's state was really mediocre. He failed to launch an effective attack after taking the ball several times in the midfield, and made several mistakes under the opponent's pressure.

At 10:[-] minutes into the first half, although the Shengcheng team seemed to be leading the score, they did not see any advantage on the scene.During the period, the head coach of the Shengcheng team, Pi Luke, stood up and shouted from the sidelines, while stretching his hands to both sides, and introduced new tactics to the field.The interpreter beside him did the same, shouting.

"Di..." The whistle sounded again, and Li Tie of the Shengcheng team fouled in his own half, less than 40 meters away from the goal.The referee awarded a direct free kick.

Jose of the Shenbei team walked up to the ball and discussed with his teammates in a low voice, and then his teammates ran to both sides one after another. Jose stepped back, ready to start a run-up.

Jose's run-up distance was nearly ten meters away. Jose started to run with small steps, and then his steps became larger and larger. With a kick of "Boom", the football seemed to fly towards the foot flag on the left side of the Shengcheng team's goal. . .

Game time, 10 minutes in the first half, score: two to two.

The Mengxi Stadium fell silent for a moment, except for the shouts of away fans from the North Stand.Jose of the visiting team Shenbei really convinced the fans of the home team today. He played really well, so he didn't hear the fans' abuse.If the first conceded goal has something to do with Jose deceiving the referee, then this conceded goal is really Jose's ability.

Fans are sensible most of the time.

"What's his name?" Governor Chen pointed to Jose who was celebrating his goal and asked Li Jinyu.

"Jose." Li Jinyu replied.

Nuan Xiaoxi turned her head to look at Li Jinyu, and remembered the name.

"Well, how old are you?"

"25 is old."

"Sure, plastic talent, why didn't you discover it before?" Governor Chen tried his best to recall this person.

"In the past two seasons, he had a lot of injuries and didn't play many games." Li Jinyu explained.

"Mr. Mao, tell me your opinion as an old man. I'm very curious about the opinion of a professional like you."

"Well, I think it meets our team building requirements. You see, our current team's midfield engine is Gotze. First, it is foreign aid. Second, if Gotze plays well, he will return to Europe sooner or later. So we still need a domestic midfield organization player. The original team midfielder Chen Lei's ability does not meet the requirements of head coach Piluk now."

"Yes," Governor Chen nodded.

"As far as the head coach is currently employing people, it is Goetze who wants to have short pass penetration in the midfield. I guess we should also add a midfielder with long-range shots and breakthrough capabilities. If there is no problem with injuries, this Jose is a good candidate." Sister Cat concluded.

"Well, then you guys have to hurry up and talk. After this game, I found out that Jose must have quite a few teams." Governor Chen suggested.

"We communicated in the transfer window before, and the Shenbei team refused to let him go." Li Jinyu said helplessly.

"Complementary, complementary, don't they also need a few people from your reserve team?" Governor Chen took advantage of the situation and said what he wanted to do.

"Well, yes, yes. Since the leader said it, let's communicate with Shen Bei as soon as possible and deal with it." Li Jinyu pushed the boat smoothly.

After the score was two to two on the field, the Shengcheng team was in chaos for a while.Maybe the players on the field are not mentally prepared, so they will play so passively.

On the balcony of the box, Governor Chen and his secretary showed joyful expressions for seeing such a wonderful game.

Ma Feifei whispered to Nuan Xiaoxi, "Look at the expressions of Li Jinyu and Sister Mao."

Nuan Xiaoxi carefully observed with her head sideways, and found that among the two, Li Jinyu had a dignified expression, while Sister Mao's expression remained calm, but there was a hint of fierceness in her eyes.Compared with the two, Governor Chen and his secretary's happy expressions seemed so out of place.

"I remember when I was about to graduate from university, I went to Beijing to watch the Olympics, and it was also a women's football match." Nuan Xiaoxi whispered to Ma Feifei.

"Are tickets easy to buy?"

"I watch the game between Sweden and Nigeria."

"Oh."

"There was a couple of fans from Sweden sitting in front of me. At the beginning, she asked us to cheer for them. Then when Nigeria scored a goal, we also stood up and cheered loudly."

"Wow, you guys are so unprincipled."

"Neutral games are just fun to watch. I still remember that Swedish woman, looking back at me celebrating Nigeria's goal. There are melancholy, resentment, and doubts in her eyes."

"Are you picking up girls? Or watching football?" Ma Feifei teased in a low voice.

"Tch, if you look back at them, they are actually a copy of the original one." Nuan Xiaoxi concluded.

In fact, it is exactly what Nuan Xiaoxi said. The two officials who sit in the office for a long time usually watch football games on TV at most. Today, it is rare to feel the atmosphere of the game live.So seeing this rare confrontation and the birth of two supernovas, can you not be excited?

As for Li Jinyu, he is an employee after all, and he has been immersed in football since he was a child, so he expresses his emotions and anger.After all, Sister Mao is still a businessman who connects back and forth, so she is not surprised by these.But now I also have a position, and I still have to control it, but I can't hide my eyes.

But for Ma Feifei, it's too simple, he doesn't like football.It doesn't matter if you win or lose, the club is still the club if you win, the secretary is still the secretary if you lose, and there is no difference.What about Nuan Xiaoxi?Nuan Xiaoxi always only looked at the result, not the process.In addition, he knew how to cover up since he was a child, so his expression at this time was as calm as water. When he should be joking with Ma Feifei, he would laugh, and when he should watch the game, he would watch the game intently.

Coach Pi Luke didn't pay attention to the feelings of the group of people on the balcony of the box.At this time, Piluk was communicating with his assistant. The two coaches knelt in front of Piluk with a tactical board on his lap.It's time for a halftime break, and Piluk has to come up with an adjustment plan as soon as possible.

In the football field, Shengcheng's proud midfield interception had a big problem. The midfield defense was useless, and the opponent broke through and passed the ball freely.

The midfielder Jose of the Shenbei team took the ball again in the midfield, but Jose did not rush to break forward after dribbling the ball past the midfield, and the time passed by every minute.

At this time, the fourth referee on the sidelines held a light board, showing 2 minutes.Then listen to the stadium broadcast, "2 minutes of stoppage time in the first half."

As soon as the sound of the broadcast fell, Jose of the Shenbei team suddenly dribbled the ball to the right facing the Shengcheng team's goal, and then made an emergency stop with his left foot to pass the ball directly to the left side of the Shengcheng team's penalty area.I saw a player on the right side of the court wearing the Shenbei team's green uniform running to the left at high speed and entering the penalty area of ​​Shengcheng, just as the ball arrived.Without any stop, he shot with his left foot, and the football flew directly into the upper right corner of the Shengcheng team's goal. The Shengcheng team's goalkeeper did not respond.

The broadcast sounded: "Mario, the NO.18 player of the Shenbei team, scored a goal. The current score on the field is: two to three."

"Okay, it's beautiful." Governor Chen clapped his hands and applauded.

"Well, well, the kick was good." Li Jinyu responded woodenly.

"Come on, let's go in and eat a little bit to replenish our energy." Nuan Xiaoxi greeted.

The people on the balcony of the private room returned to the private room one after another after Governor Chen entered the private room.

There was a uniform voice of cheering again behind him:
"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng...will win!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng...will win!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng...will win!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng...will win!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng...will win!"

. . . . . .

In this game, both the Shenbei team and Jose's performance were perfect.The fans are impulsive, but they are also the most calm. Facing a strong opponent, they did not complain, and they still worked hard for their team, hoping to complete the reversal in the second half.

"Mr. Nuan, what did you think of the first half?" Governor Chen asked excitedly, pondering over it.

"I think it should be the best game of the season." Nuan Xiaoxi said, then picked up the barbecue that was just served and brought it to Governor Chen.

"Mm, um, no." Governor Chen took over the barbecue, suddenly remembered something, and said, "If you have to go to the bathroom, go by yourself, don't hold back, the first half was too exciting to go, now hurry up. Haha..."

"Leader, who do you think will win?" Nuan Xiaoxi threw out a sentence from time to time.

"If there are new superstars, you will definitely win." Governor Chen looked at Nuan Xiaoxi.

"Hmm..." Nuan Xiaoxi glanced at Li Jinyu.

"Hehe..." Li Jinyu laughed happily.

Was the second half a sudden reversal?Or is the Shengcheng team ushering in their first defeat of the season?

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.

This chapter is over.

Postscript (interlude, tidbits, extra episodes):

More than ten years ago, Didu hosted the first Olympic Games in China. Two young men in sports half-sleeves skipped work and ran outside the Didu Workers' Stadium to bargain with the scalpers.

"Brother, two hundred and fifty." One of the thinner young men said to the scalper.

"Hey, I'm just an errand runner, and the cheapest two tickets is two hundred, no bargaining." The scalper said.

"Brother, we are only students, how can we get so much money? Besides, the show will start soon, if you can't sell it, won't you throw it at your hands?" The fatter young man followed suit.

It is true that there are still 5 minutes to start the game, the scalper gritted his teeth: "Okay."

The thin man took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the scalper, "I don't have any change, so forget it." The scalper looked at the two hundred yuan and said.

"Hey... nothing else, brother. I'll change it." The fatter young man quickly took the money and ran to the side to exchange money with other fans.

"Hey, why don't I say forget it, I'll sell someone else." The scalper said hesitantly.

"Don't mind, buddy." The skinny young man pulled the scalper.

Beside him is an old man who has been watching for a long time: "They are all from the same country, so what? Sell them and forget it."

Finally the fat man came back with some change, and the two of them bought the tickets.But as soon as the tickets were in hand, two people were playing around, and a man and a woman came over to ask the price.

When the fat man saw that the man was a foreigner, and the woman was a Chinese, his mind quickly turned: "Two of 1000."

"Walter?" the man replied.

"Show what, spit." The fat man waved two tickets and said to the foreign man.

"How about eating?"

"Show me." The fat man said clearly.

"Ten thousand?"

"Teng Han got sick yesterday, throw up." The thin man was in a hurry, and explained while comparing fists with the foreigner.

"Pfft..." the fat man leaned forward happily.

And the thin man was still bargaining with the foreigner with the little English he had learned. After a while, the domestic woman found the game tickets somewhere and dragged the foreigner into the stadium.

"Brother, you're so awesome." The fat man also dragged this English idiot buddy into the field to watch the Swedish women's football match against the Nigerian women's football team.

Many years later, Nuan Xiaoxi was still teasing about this incident at home in Shengcheng, a friend who was already the father of two children and not as thin as before.

"Md, the foreigner is too cunning." Nuan Xiaoxi's brother explained.
