football is not round

Next time:
After participating in the interview of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club and finishing the five webcasts of Anise Live Software, and finally confirming that Hua Kite will be the spokesperson for the next season.Nuan Xiaoxi went to Shenzhen with the staff of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club, and then went to the hotel where Liu Xinyang was staying alone to visit Liu Xinyang.

Just when Nuan Xiaoxi wanted to surprise Liu Xinyang, she was frightened by Liu Xinyang. Liu Xinyang broke up with Nuan Xiaoxi seriously.

"Let's go, don't look for me anymore." Liu Xinyang walked to the door of the room and opened it.

Nuan Xiaoxi didn't move for a long time, neither spoke nor turned around.Liu Xinyang walked quickly to Nuan Xiaoxi, picked up the clothes on the ground and stuffed them for Nuan Xiaoxi.

"Don't make me look down on you!" After Liu Xinyang finished speaking, Nuan Xiaoximu left the hotel room.

Liu Xinyang closed the door with the last of her strength, she finally had no need to restrain her tears, Liu Xinyang sat on the ground with her back against the closed door just now, crying bitterly, letting go.

. . . . . .

Nuan Xiaoxi sadly left the hotel room where Liu Xinyang lived, not knowing how to get on the elevator, not knowing how to get out of the hotel, not to mention where the road ahead leads to!

Nuan Xiaoxi looked up at the starry sky, which was also the starry sky that Liu Xinyang, who was in tears, was also looking at from the hotel window at this time.Nuan Xiaoxi was confused, or her mind was blank!

At this moment, what do you think Nuan Xiaoxi thinks?have no idea.Nuan Xiaoxi really didn't know what she was thinking, but Nuan Xiaoxi knew that there were traffic lights, zebra crossings and crosswalks on the road in front of her.

Nuan Xiaoximang walked aimlessly, kept walking, where did she go?Nuan Xiaoxi doesn't know, what are you doing?Nuan Xiaoxi didn't know either.Nuan Xiaoxi saw a small supermarket by the road, Nuan Xiaoxi went in, bought a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and a barrel of drinks.

Walking out of the supermarket, there was a parasol at the entrance of the supermarket, and Nuan Xiaoxi sat down quietly.I opened the cigarettes and began to smoke aimlessly one after another. There was an open box of cigarettes on the table, and one bottle was not opened for a drink.Nuan Xiaoxi leaned lazily on the back of the chair, feeling weak all over. At this moment, someone who relied on Nuan Xiaoxi realized that her legs were already weak. Let alone walking, even standing up is a luxury now.

Nuan Xiaoxi leaned on the back of the chair, holding a cigarette in one hand and playing with the lighter in the other.Nuan Xiaoxi looked up at the night sky, the tall buildings in front of her severely blocked Nuan Xiaoxi's sight, in the eyes of the night sky at this time there was no moon, no stars, only a piece of blue.What the Milky Way, what Big Dipper, what Sagittarius, everything has become a cloud.

The cigarette in Nuan Xiaoxi's hand had burned to the end, and Nuan Xiaoxi's fingers could feel the scorching heat. At this moment, the cigarette butt had been burning Nuan Xiaoxi for an unknown amount of time.Nuan Xiaoxi looked down at her injured finger and threw the cigarette butt away.

"Pfft..." Nuan Xiaoxi blew on the cigarette ash left on her fingers, picked up the cigarette case that was randomly thrown on the table, grabbed a cigarette and lit it.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Nuan Xiaoxi took a puff of cigarette, maybe it's because she hasn't smoked for many years, or maybe it's because Nuan Xiaoxi hasn't exercised for a long time, and her lung capacity is not enough. In short, Nuan Xiaoxi choked on the cigarette until her lungs almost coughed out.

At this time, Nuan Xiaoxi said that there was an old man passing by.

"Young man, it seems that you don't know how to smoke anymore, have you not smoked for many years?" The old man also sat on this table with a fan in his hand.

Nuan Xiaoxi looked at the old man in front of him, "I haven't smoked for a few years."

"Well. I've been watching you for a long time, and I feel that you have quit smoking for many years. There is always a hurdle for everyone, and you can get over it if you can. If you can't get over it, can you still die? If things don't go well for a while, you can't waste so many years of hard work in quitting smoking like this, right?" The old man said to Nuan Xiaoxi with earnestness.

"Hehe..." Nuan Xiaoxi smiled, threw away the cigarette in hand, and crushed it fiercely with her feet.

"I don't know what obstacles you have. I'm as old as you and I was sad. It's nothing more than three things, just get over it." After finishing speaking, the uncle waved his fan and looked at the streets with people coming and going.

"Haha..." Nuan Xiaoxi smiled, picked up the drink on the table, opened it, and started drinking.

"Well, although the drink is not very good, it is better than drinking and smoking. It is wrong to persuade you at this time. But, I think at your age, you are nothing more than a relationship, a relative's health, and a lack of money. There will be no other difficulties, what do you think?" The uncle looked at Nuan Xiaoxi in front of him.

"Hehe..." Nuan Xiaoxi smiled.

"Man, keep earning when the money is gone. If you owe someone money, can they still kill you? If they take your life, who will pay him back? What do you think?" When the uncle was talking, he also watched the change in Nuan Xiaoxi's expression.

Nuan Xiaoxi didn't make a sound or express, and put down her drink.

"Then there's the health of the people around you. Your parents are younger than me, and they're only about 20 years old. Or maybe your wife and children are the people around you." Seeing that Nuan Xiaoxi was still expressionless and decadent, the old man quickly changed the subject. "Looking at you like this, I guess you haven't even married a wife, haha..." The uncle laughed himself as he spoke.

"Hehe..." Nuan Xiaoxi turned her head and looked at the old man beside her who had been trying to comfort her, "Do you always want a cigarette?" Nuan Xiaoxi picked up the cigarette case on the table and handed it to the old man opposite.

"Hehe... I haven't smoked for decades, I'll make an exception with you tonight." The old man took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, and Nuan Xiaoxi respectfully lit it for the old man.

Nuan Xiaoxi also took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth, lighting her own cigarette with great effort, her hands were trembling all the time.The old man watched for a long time, but couldn't stand it anymore.He snatched the lighter from Nuan Xiaoxi's hand with one hand, and then got up to help Nuan Xiaoxi light it.

"Pfft..." Nuan Xiaoxi took a deep puff of cigarette, how did this puff of cigarette get into his mouth, and how did Nuan Xiaoxi spit it out intact.After a few mouthfuls, Nuan Xiaoxi always acted like this!
Grandpa picked up the cigarette and smoked it seriously, watching the traffic on the side of the road, he didn't look at Nuan Xiaoxi, and didn't go to persuade Nuan Xiaoxi again.In this way, the old and the young smoked their own cigarettes and looked at the side of the road for a long time.

"One more." Nuan Xiaoxi took out a cigarette, her hands were no longer trembling so much.The old man took the cigarette, and Nuan Xiaoxi stood up and respectfully lit the cigarette in the old man's mouth.Afterwards, Nuan Xiaoxi sat down. At this moment, the cigarette in his hand was exhausted, and he lit a cigarette for himself, smoking silently.

The time may have passed more than ten minutes, after all, how much work can be done with just two cigarettes!

"It seems like I'm playing football tomorrow, young man, do you watch the game?" The old man dropped the cigarette in his hand and asked Nuan Xiaoxi, but his eyes were still looking at the street in front of him, the passing pedestrians and vehicles.

"Hehe... what ball?" Nuan Xiaoxi didn't look at the uncle either, she was still looking around aimlessly, not knowing what to look at, still not knowing what to look at.

"Don't you watch football?" the old man asked in surprise.

"Oh, look, look." Nuan Xiaoxi started to think a little bit.

"Tomorrow afternoon there will be a good game, yes..." the old man was halfway through speaking, and Nuan Xiaoxi, whose brain started to activate, took the words.

"Are you talking about the first division of domestic football tomorrow?"

"Well, well..." The old man nodded, "It seems that you also know how to shoot penalties." The old man took a sip of the tea he brought with him.

"I watch penalty kicks, and I have nothing to do to play football manager games. Tomorrow afternoon, Shenzhen team will play against Shengcheng team, right?" Nuan Xiaoxi looked back from the street to the old man across the table, and asked this old man who also sounded quite knowledgeable about football.

"Well, yes, yes. Evenly matched games are worth seeing, and they are worth seeing." The old man fanned the fan in his hand, thinking about tomorrow's game, and said with emotion.

"Equally matched? Hehe..." Nuan Xiaoxi smiled when she heard this comment.After all, in Nuan Xiaoxi's mind, only Wu Yue's Hangzhou team can be considered evenly matched in the domestic first-tier football league.

"Isn't it evenly matched? The Shengcheng team has been operating very well this year, so don't underestimate it..." the old man said with emotion.

"Hahaha..." Nuan Xiaoxi laughed, no longer like the lost person just now.

"It's true that they are quite strong this year. The domestic and foreign players they have introduced are all good. Don't underestimate their head coach."

"You mean Pi Luke?" Nuan Xiaoxi asked tentatively.

"En." The old man nodded.

"His ability is quite powerful, at least he dares to promote young players. Now both domestic and foreign coaches have to achieve results, and they dare not start young players." Nuan Xiaoxi said with emotion.

"Actually, we can't blame the head coach. The main reason is that the environment is bad." The old man took a sip of the tea in his hand.

"But Piruk's performance is not bad, he is now No.2 in the league, and promotion is in sight."

"Hehe...how should I put it?" The old man turned the corner and turned the topic to football.

"What does the old man say?" Talking about football, Nuan Xiaoxi's mind also started to work quickly.

"Think about it, if there is no guarantee from the club owner, who would dare to promote young players like him."

"But these young people are very good, they are not slowing down, and Li Weifeng has already been the main force in the defense, right? As for the others..."

"Don't talk about Ma Fei." The old man interrupted Nuan Xiaoxi.

"Why?" Nuan Xiaoxi asked in surprise.

"Ma Fei is in the Changchun team, and the Super League is the main player of the team. This kind of young people can't be regarded as promoted, and they can't even be counted as semi-finished products."

"But the performance of young people is not necessarily stable, at least..."

"Hehe." The old man interrupted Nuan Xiaoxi again, "Look at the players who are famous abroad, the World Player of Football, who started playing the main force at the age of [-] or [-]?"

"But..."

"How can there be a problem, didn't you just say it? The domestic atmosphere is not good, after all, the requirements are different."

"Oh? I would like to hear more about it." Nuan Xiaoxi looked at the old man opposite and asked seriously.

"Domestic companies sponsor teams for a different purpose than those outside. Overseas, they do it for the sake of making money and advertising." The old man put down the teacup in his hand and began to speak seriously.

"Our sponsorship also has an advertising effect, doesn't it?" Nuan Xiaoxi didn't understand.

"Hehe... You are too young, young man." The old man smiled.

"You're saying that our corporate sponsorship of football teams is for local influence and support, right?"

"Well, even if you have some knowledge, at least you are worthy of your attire." After listening to Nuan Xiaoxi's sharp point, the old man commented on Nuan Xiaoxi.

"Hehe, thanks for the compliment. But what the old man said is also the root problem of domestic football, but it is too difficult to change."

"How do you know it's difficult if you don't change it?" The old man also started to discuss football.

"There is no source of money in domestic football now, and the effect of making money abroad is obvious, and the advertising effect is prominent. Let's talk about tickets for our games. If they are sold at a high price, no one will buy them. Now that they are sold so cheaply, a home court with a better attendance rate can still make a profit. A team with a lower attendance rate can't even pay the minimum security money, let alone a profit."

"En." The old man also nodded, agreeing with Nuan Xiaoxi's statement.

"The other is the peripheral products of the team. The domestic itself does not pay much attention to IP, and the property rights are even more blurred. You look at the pirated teams outside the stadium, pirated related products. Even without these, how much do you think the weak fan base can sell in a year? Even fans who buy pirated jerseys can wear a piece of clothing for a few years. After the team changes its tune, it changes its color."

"Haha..." The old man also laughed after hearing this.

"Let's talk about the sales of products in the stadium. Now it seems that the security guards are not allowed to bring water when entering the stadium. You can buy some drinks. It means that the sales in the stadium are not profitable and have no continuity."

"Mmm, yes." The old man nodded.

"Let's talk about transfers. Now domestic transfer prices are inflated and wages are inflated. Do you think there is continuity?" Nuan Xiaoxi asked the old man seriously.

"I don't think so, not at all. This is just a game of drumming and passing flowers." The old man also said seriously.

"Indeed, if our players don't wait for their wages, they will basically not be able to sell." Nuan Xiaoxi is still full of resentment when she thinks about the winter transfer.Not only is he dissatisfied with the players' disappointment, but he also feels helpless with the domestic environment.

"Haha... The physical fitness of domestic players is not good enough. As far as their living habits are concerned, how many years do you think they can play? What else can they do if they don't make some money while they are young? Even a domestic black face is now an English nationality..." Thinking of the black face, the old man is also full of regret.

"I really don't blame the black face for this matter..." Nuan Xiaoxi just wanted to speak up to defend the black face, but the old man stopped Nuan Xiaoxi with a wave of his hand.

The old man said: "Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, and everyone understands it."

"Hehe... What do you think can be done?" Nuan Xiaoxi also felt helpless, helpless because of the domestic football environment, and confused because she couldn't see the future.

"You can't say it's not good, at least the Shengcheng team gave us hope."

"But the Shengcheng team also relies on local support..." Nuan Xiaoxi felt helpless thinking about the current situation of the team.

"You're right. Although Shengcheng's picture-in-picture football team also relied on real estate, at least they have started to try something. Although we don't know if this direction is right or wrong, at least someone has started to do it."

"Well, maybe a single spark can start a prairie fire, maybe they are right." Nuan Xiaoxi sighed.

"Well, you young people should be like this. I heard that the boss surnamed Nuan is only in his early thirties."

"Really?" Nuan Xiaoxi pretended to be doubtful.

"Young people, you are all young..." The old man remembered Nuan Xiaoxi's appearance just now.

"Hehe..." Nuan Xiaoxi smiled wryly.

"Although I don't know how long the Shengcheng team can go and how far they can go. But they are working hard to make contributions to domestic football. Everyone can see it, at least everyone will remember it in their hearts. After many years, if they succeed, people will remember it in their hearts and thank him. If they fail, even if they follow this path later, they will have an extra experience." After the old man said this, Nuan Xiaoxi felt warm in his heart.

"Thank you, thank you." Nuan Xiaoxi replied unconsciously.

The old man was taken aback and looked at Nuan Xiaoxi.The old man didn't speak for a long time, nor did he look away from Nuan Xiaoxi who was opposite him.

"I have to go. Is the old man going to watch the game tomorrow?" Nuan Xiaoxi got up and picked up the unfinished drink on the table.

"I'll go, how about you?" The old man looked up at Nuan Xiaoxi who got up and asked.

"Me?" Nuan Xiaoxi paused, wondering if it was thinking?Or is the mind blank?Anyway, this section should be fragmented.

"Well, it's you." The old man reminded Nuan Xiaoxi.

"Me? I should go." Nuan Xiaoxi replied hesitantly.

"Let's watch the game together tomorrow. We chatted very speculatively. How about giving my old man face?" The old man said seriously.

"Okay, but I'm from the visiting team. Old man, would you mind going to the fans' stand of the visiting team?" Nuan Xiaoxi asked the old man in front of him seriously.

"Hehe...Okay, I'm a person whose neck is half buried in the earth, so I don't have any worries." The old man readily agreed to Nuan Xiaoxi.

"Well, then we have an agreement."

"See you there, see you there." The old man got up after finishing speaking, ready to go home.The old man feels that he has tried his best, and the rest is left to the young people to experience and bear.

"I'm leaving." After Nuan Xiaoxi finished speaking, she turned and left without any nostalgia, disappearing into the endless night.

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

This chapter is over.

Postscript (interlude, tidbits, extra episodes):

Liu Xinyang sent Nuan Xiaoxi out of her hotel room, and Liu Xinyang slammed the door shut.

The moment Liu Xinyang turned around, her limbs finally collapsed on the ground, leaning against the door. "I want to hold back, must hold back, must, must, must hold back." Liu Xinyang reminded herself all the time.

I don't know how long, really don't know how long, Liu Xinyang, who was already in tears, finally burst into tears, crying loudly, releasing the extremely suppressed feelings in her heart.The whole room was filled with the sound of Liu Xinyang crying and howling. At this time, even a room with good sound insulation could not stop Liu Xinyang's crying.

How long have you been crying?have no idea.Liu Xinyang couldn't cry anymore, and couldn't get up and walk.Liu Xinyang was just lying in front of the hotel room, lying on the ground, looking at everything in front of her eyes, but she couldn't see everything in front of her.

For the short moment just now, for the parting of life and death that Nuan Xiaoxi didn't want to experience, for her first love, for her favorite, for her life that she never regrets, for everything about him, Liu Xinyang agreed for a long, long time, although it was less than 2 days.

Liu Xinyang sat up firmly, supporting the ground with both hands.Liu Xinyang leaned against the hotel door again, and she wiped away the tears on her face.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Xinyang didn't know how she got to the window. She sat limply on the window sill of the hotel, looking at the starry sky that Nuan Xiaoxi was also looking at.

"Xiaoxi, I'm sorry! I didn't accompany you to the end, I'm sorry!"
