football is not round

Connect last time

Li Jinyu, the general manager of Shengcheng Club, and Nuan Xiaoxi, the deputy general manager, have communicated almost all the details of the current negotiations with European clubs.They feel really high-spirited, the feeling of starting a new era.But the biggest problem that is not a problem in front of them does stand in front of them, that is, the placement of the head coach, Coach Ma.

"How about the head of our coaching staff?" Li Jinyu gave an answer as usual.

"No", Nuan Xiaoxi refused straight away, misplaced management is always the bottom line that Nuan Xiaoxi can't touch.

"That is the choice between the technical consultant and the club's deputy general manager, but I am really worried that this choice will not only be the media, but even the inside will be hit."

"There must be a problem, how about this, I'll take care of it!" Nuan Xiaoxi made a conclusion on the matter.

After seeing off the general manager of the club, Li Jinyu, Nuan Xiaoxi said to Ma Feifei, "Arrange to meet Sui Xin in the afternoon, and I will go to Coach Ma's house in person in the evening, so hurry up and deal with it."

"Got it." Ma Feifei agreed.

In the afternoon, an unremarkable chain coffee shop in Shengcheng.A fat man who weighed less than 200 pounds and a middle-aged man who was less than 1.7 meters tall looked a bit dark and thin, and sat side by side in a corner with their backs to the door.

"Is the fund account checked so well?" the fat man asked.

"The verification is almost done. You know that there are many specific figures that I have no way to publicly disclose for calculation."

"is it serious?"

"The amount involved is less than 5000 million."

"Why can't the headquarters see it?"

"If the people don't get promoted, the officials shouldn't be prosecuted. Besides, how come those people in the headquarters have not benefited all these years?"

"Give me the information."

"Um, okay. So quick to do it?"

"Yes."

"Li Benjia, have you checked it? Is it reliable?"

"Do I have any other options?"

"Right."

"I'm going to Europe, maybe I'll be back after New Year's Day."

"Then do it as soon as possible."

"I'm going to see Banxian tomorrow morning."

"Haha, every time I hear your nickname, I'm so happy to die."

"I'm leaving." The fat man picked up the documents on the table and quickly left through the back door.

After a while, the thin man put on his hat, lowered the brim of his hat and got up to leave.He is the man named Sui Xin, a man whose name sounds like a woman.

"Keep this well, remind me to talk to my brother later, and make an appointment with my brother." Nuan Xiaoxi briefly read the information he just got, and handed it to Ma Feifei who was waiting in the car.

An hour later, Nuan Xiaoxi and Nuan Xiaodong communicated about this matter for five or ten minutes, and finally Nuan Xiaodong reluctantly agreed to Nuan Xiaoxi's plan.In fact, Nuan Xiaoxi is very clear that this thing is the key evidence, as long as the copy is handed over to Li Banxian, the result will be clear.A phone call with his brother is nothing more than to confirm the scope of control that needs to be controlled when things are handled as a whole.Nuan Xiaoxi endured this shot for almost two years, and finally hit the target with one blow.

As for the so-called Li Benjia, he met him two years ago under the introduction of his uncle.After several exchanges, he was deeply impressed by this middle-aged man who was less than ten years older than him.So when we started, we prepared this candidate in advance.At this time, Li Benjia, who was far away, had already booked a flight ticket and a hotel in Shengcheng in advance, and was just waiting for Nuan Xiaoxi's final confirmation call.As for the overall urban real estate plan for community football, Li Benjia is also the main planner. Like Li Jinyu of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club, he is the executor of Nuan Xiaoxi's dream.

After dealing with the real estate company, Nuan Xiaoxi returned to the key issues of the Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Club.Merit, merit!The meritorious deeds that stand in the way of the progress of the times seem to be wrong no matter how they are done.

In fact, on the issue of meritorious service, Nuan Xiaoxi thought of herself when she was working in Tianli Company.At the beginning, I was also a stumbling block of meritorious deeds that stood in the way of progress, and was also regarded as a thorn in the side by the boss who promoted me at that time.Fortunately, his own contract expired, so he took the initiative to end his working career in Tianli Company.Now it's his turn to deal with meritorious deeds, and he is inevitably a little bit embarrassed.

At night, Nuan Xiaoxi thought about it and walked into the gate of Coach Ma's residential complex empty-handed.Maybe it was God's will when I just went in, Nuan Xiaoxi saw a supermarket.Then he dawdled in and bought a big bottle of Sprite and a big bottle of Coke.Thinking about it, it's not an empty-handed meeting, Nuan Xiaoxi comforted herself.

Coach Ma, everyone calls him Old Ma, and people who know him well call him Lao Ma.When Lao Ma heard the doorbell ring, he knew that Nuan Xiaoxi had arrived.He opened the door and greeted Nuan Xiaoxi into the living room.Seeing Nuan Xiaoxi holding a bottle of drink in each hand, Lao Ma was overjoyed.

"Are you giving this as a gift? Or are you afraid that there will be no drinks for you to drink when I eat here?" Lao Ma took the drinks and put them on the table. There were several kinds of freshly squeezed juices and several bottles of Coke Sprite on the table.

"I really don't drink these things, and I find them unpalatable. So I don't know what to buy today, so I asked the supermarket downstairs to deliver some. You drink more, I don't drink these things." After Ma finished speaking, he led Nuan Xiaoxi to sit down at the dining table.
"I just made a few random dishes, and I heard that you don't eat chili, so I didn't put any spice in it. I know you like meat, so I made braised pork once. You should try it. It should be better than that girl Li Xinyi's. I told her how to do it back then."

After hearing this, Nuan Xiaoxi's eyes became moist.In fact, Nuan Xiaoxi really didn't have much contact with the old man in front of him, let alone being close to him.However, Nuan Xiaoxi knew about this old man's contribution to the development of football in recent years when he first started working.So with a guilty heart, Nuan Xiaoxi's eyes naturally became moist when she encountered everything in front of her.

Malauks

In fact, when Lao Ma disbanded the provincial football team before, he was in a terrible mess. He hated football and regretted playing football.At that time, the team had no funds, and they owed wages and bonuses without knowing when they would be paid.It is called that every day should not be answered, and that the land is not working.Only he keeps encouraging players to do their jobs well and play well.He kept saying that if you win a game, you don't get paid. Do you expect to lose a salary?If you can win, there is hope, and then the previous boss threw him out when he kept losing and used him as a scapegoat.

The old horse himself was very helpless, but that was nothing more than helplessness.What can be done?Cold salad, Lao Ma often comforted himself and said.
Until the final disbandment of the team, the wages and bonuses owed to him have not been fulfilled, so there is no such thing as a termination fee.

One day, the news suddenly broadcast the news that a new football team was about to be formed, and the name of the new football team had already been registered, called Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club.Lao Ma began to receive calls from former players and coaches non-stop.In fact, it is nothing more than a concern, how to get the previous salary?The question of who to ask for.Ma has experienced ups and downs for so many years and has experienced too much.The sports bureau of the team before I came here had shares, and I was looking for them.Furthermore, the new boss has never dealt with the legacy issues, not to mention that the Renjia Club is a new club, and any relationship with the previous one is immediately cleared.So Lao Ma can only comfort everyone. When it comes to the specific situation, Lao Ma can only say to wait and see.

The retired old horse has nothing to do all day long, occasionally watching football news, and mostly picking up his grandson and grandson to and from school.When a person is old, he must obey the old. This is the position that Lao Ma has given himself.Looking at the footballs scattered all over the warehouse at home, he himself was powerless, seeing nothing more than the mess left by his grandson after playing around.

"Coach, are you home?" Li Jinyu, once his most proud student, suddenly called him.

"I'm in Xiaolian."

"That's really great, I'll be there in 15 minutes." Li Jinyu said quickly, and hung up the phone before Ma Lao replied.

"This bastard." The old horse was a little angry, but also a little excited.

"Help me book a restaurant, near home." Lao Ma called his son and said.

15 minutes is very fast for the old horse. After all, the family must be prepared to receive the favorite student whom he often calls a bastard.It's also a bit long. After all, I have been away from the football circle for more than half a year, and I am still somewhat reluctant.

The doorbell rang, oh, 2 people!Behind is a fat man in a suit and leather shoes. Who is he?Forget it, I'm getting older, I don't want to.

"There's no need to change your shoes, come in quickly." Ma Lao let the two of them enter the house.

"Coach, you seem to be in a hurry, don't mind if I didn't bring anything." Li Jinyu carried a box of Moutai and put it at the door.

"I can still choose your gift. Who is this?"

"Oh, let me introduce to you, this is Nuan Xiaoxi, Chairman Nuan, the chairman of our newly established football club, and the general manager of our provincial branch of the Picture-in-Picture Group. Director Nuan, this is Mr. Ma." Li Jinyu hurriedly introduced each other.

In fact, when we met for the first time, Lao Ma had no memory of the whole exchange, but he was very impressed with the person named Nuan Xiaoxi.Whether at Mr. Ma's house or dining at a hotel, this fat man in a suit and leather shoes kept smiling the whole time, and didn't say a word when he occasionally said "um, ha".Of course, except for the phrase "Mr. Ma, I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

In fact, when he saw them, Lao Ma knew exactly what their purpose was, and it was nothing more than that the reorganized club would start from the second division.The club has many difficulties, needs a backbone, and needs to be formed quickly.At the same time, I drew a lot of big cakes, and gave me a lot of dreams and ideals.Lao Ma has seen this kind of thing a lot, and has experienced it several times.So Lao Ma forced Nuan Xiaoxi to make a so-called promise. Of course, Lao Ma just listened to it.He didn't even think that this is true. In his words, it can still be realized, why?
"Mr. Nuan, what do you think about the salaries of club staff, players, and coaches in the past? Can you handle it?"

"Oh, I have read the accounts. The Sports Bureau and the previous club have a piece of land, and the procedures are expected to be completed next month. During this period, the club will confirm the accounts with you to see if they are correct. We will definitely suffer, but it should be fully resolved. After all, a new start and a good start are important."

A month later, it was actually resolved.Several pieces of land of the club have also entered the bag of the picture-in-picture group, and the use of the land has also changed.Sure enough, this young man still has some weight, so how could he be at a disadvantage?But Lao Ma also understood that the power behind this should be able to support it for at least a few years.So what about myself a few years from now?Forget it, the old horse doesn't bother to think about it.

Lao Ma has been working for more than a year, and he has not had much real communication with Nuan Xiaoxi.It was nothing more than a few meetings before the transfer window. Lao Ma met Nuan Xiaoxi, and he was still in Nuan Xiaoxi's office, which he never went to.

When he first entered the office, the spinning bikes, treadmills and golf balls that he hadn't collected in time made Lao Ma amazed.

"Dong Nuan, you can go down for a run and let our coach make a fitness plan for you."

"Oh well."

In fact, this kind of communication meeting about the transfer is nothing more than Nuan Xiaoxi setting the tone, how much money can be spent in total, and how much money is the most.You can figure it out within the budget, but outside the budget, you sell players yourself.The first summer transfer window, everyone is not familiar with it, but they are more modest. I just wanted to talk about the general idea, but I didn’t know what Nuan Xiaoxi said. I never asked about the details, so I pushed it away.The second winter is an important transfer time, I didn't expect it to be the same, a few words.In the budget, Mr. Ma is responsible, and Li Jinyu is in charge of the specific operations.Outside the budget, sell players by yourself, Ma Lao is in charge, and Li Jinyu is in charge of operations.

In fact, everyone knows that transfer is a big piece of fat. Could it be that Nuan Xiaoxi is really so generous?Or does he actually know nothing?
The second and only time that Nuan Xiaoxi and Lao Ma communicated alone was an afternoon.After 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the training was over, and the fat man walked towards the old horse.In Lao Ma's memory, this is the second time that Nuan Xiaoxi has entered the training ground since the establishment of Shengcheng Football Club.It was also this time last time, he was chubby, and he slowly accepted his suggestion to come to the stadium for a run.However, it was the only time that I ran a few laps, and then never came again.Why are you here today?The old horse was a little dazed.

"Old Ma" Nuan Xiaoxi shouted from a distance.

Looking at his fat body, the old horse had no choice but to meet him.

"What's the matter? Mr. Nuan."

"Oh, it's nothing. I heard Mr. Li said that you have some comments on Li Xinyi's interview. I'll come over and ask."

Hey, speaking of Li Xinyi, I feel really wronged.I asked me last year, how do players run?How can you run?Run with your legs, don't you use your hands?You also asked me whether winning the championship depends on strength? . . .Fortunately, a set of three consecutive questions of death was given to Lao Jia (the runner-up head coach).In fact, I can bear all these things. The key is that she actually asked me this year why the garbage in front of my house is thrown out every few days, and what should I do if it disturbs the people?what can I do?I have to apologize.You said that I am an old man living alone who lives in other places, eats at the team, occasionally packs some food for supper, and throws out the garbage once every few days.

Of course, I also complained to Li Jinyu about this, but I vaguely heard that she also has a background, so I had to forget it.It's not all bad, though.It was also good. Later, the club arranged for me to work as a part-time worker.The night life of those players who are watched every day has also improved, at least now their physical fitness is much better.

Thinking of this, I can only answer, "Oh, you can deal with it, I have no opinion."

"Oh, do you think this is okay? I asked Li Xinyi to tell you in advance the questions to be asked. If you are not satisfied, let her not ask, how about it?"

"No, no, I'm not the most special one."

"Then look at how I reduced the number of questions he asks? How about a total of 20 questions in one season?"

"Can you have less?"

"Don't worry, no more than fifteen times," Nuan Xiaoxi readily agreed.

Then I saw Li Jinyu appearing in front of the camera with a pleasant smile.At a home court, I actually saw that familiar fat man in a suit and leather shoes standing in front of the camera.I have forgotten the tactical arrangement and the tension before the game. The coaches and I slowly approached Li Xinyi, feeling the joy of death questions.This is actually the first time for me, as an audience, to listen carefully to Li Xinyi's questions.

"Excuse me, is there not enough training grounds for the club?" Li Xinyi asked.

"Oh, we are still using the old venue left by the previous club, and the new base is expected to be ready for use by the end of the year." Nuan Xiaoxi answered eloquently.

"Then you are so fat, is it because of the tight use of the old base?"

"Pfft..." A lot of laughter came from around.

"Oh, it's not that I like Coke."

"I heard that Coke can clean the toilet. It should be able to clean your intestines. How can you still gain weight?"

"Well, I may eat a lot, and I also like meat."

"Then you bought a house loan because you spent too much on food?"

. . . . . .

"Hahaha..." The people around were all gleeful. This question about killing streak has been circulated in the Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Club for a long time.

Seeing the obvious progress of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club in the past two years, Lao Ma is very pleased.The new base is about to land, and the community football program that Nuan Xiaoxi has been promoting is also progressing steadily.I heard from family members that in Xiaolian City, the picture-in-picture real estate company has also acquired a lot of land strongly, and is also implementing a community football plan.So today, although it was Nuan Xiaoxi's second solo exchange in two years, or the most formal exchange, and possibly the last exchange, Ma Lao himself was calm and relieved.Lao Ma knows that the current world is the world of young people, and it is also their world.

"Put the rice first? Or eat and then serve?" the old horse asked Nuan Xiaoxi, and he saw Nuan Xiaoxi's ruddy eyes.

"It's all right."

"I'm old, I want to go home and enjoy family happiness, I can't stay here all my life, I want to know Xiaolian."

"Old Ma, I..."

"Let's eat, I know. Do you really think I'm old? Actually, I didn't believe you at the beginning, but it's been two years now. I have seen everything you do, and I also hope football is good. I can't help you much, but I will still support you, including leaving you."

"Old Ma..."

"Give me a technical director, don't set the salary too low, you know my pension is not high. Come to eat. I have to lead the team to practice tomorrow, play well in the remaining few games, and save you from being scolded for me, haha..."

The biggest stone in Nuan Xiaoxi's heart fell to the ground, but another stone weighed on her heart again.

Europe. . .

A tall stewardess pushed a dining trolley on the flight to London, pouring drinks and distributing food to each passenger.

"Huahua, there's a customer over there that I can't deal with, can you help me down?" Another stewardess came over and said softly.

"Which one?"

"The one in the blue suit in the business class," a stewardess whispered back.

"Okay, I'll go." The stewardess with 'Hua Kite' on her clothes walked towards the business class.

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

This chapter is over.

Postscript (interlude, tidbits, extra episodes):

When he accidentally saw the famous British football star Hei Mian and Nuan Xiaoxi walking into the base with their shoulders crossed, followed by the famous international manager Ting, he grabbed Ma Feifei and asked gossip, "Secretary Ma, why is Hei Mian so familiar with the boss?"

"Oh, they are Fa Xiao." Ma Feifei told Lao Ma without reservation.

Only then did Lao Ma realize that the fat man in the club who never showed his face knew everything, but he just didn't want to know.
