my football i call the shots

"Old Cao, this tea is not bad. It was given to me by someone in the bureau. You should try it."

"Hey, okay."

Hearing the principal's smiling polite words, Cao Chen was also very appreciative. He picked up the teacup on the table very naturally, filled it up for himself, and sighed a few times.

"Good tea, good tea..." After finishing speaking, Cao Chen smiled and continued, "I have tasted this tea too, and we have talked about family affairs for so long, principal, let's talk about business first?"

"Oh? Business?" The principal's face was startled, but he understood it in his heart: "I thought you came to drink a few cups of tea with me today because you have nothing to do. So it's something to do? It's nothing, Lao Cao, who are we going to talk to?" Who, if you have anything to say, we don't need to beat around the bush because of our friendship."

Pooh! ! !
Cao Chen cursed inwardly: This fat man, he said that there is no need to beat around the bush when it comes to business, and he was doing Tai Chi with me just now!You have taken over all these good people!
Although he greeted the principal in his heart, Cao Chen was still very calm on the surface.

After all, at this age, everyone is an experienced person. The "Kyoto Prodigal Son" who once galloped in the A-A German stadium is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Principal, if you say that, then I won't be polite..." Cao Chen cleared his throat, "Do you still remember what we said in the office last Saturday?"

"Oh? What's the matter???"

The principal was stunned for a moment when he heard Cao Chen's words, and then he looked at Cao Chen innocently, as if he didn't know anything about it.

Looking at the "cute" big round face of the Principal, Cao Chen cursed angrily in his heart: This fat man is playing amnesia with me again! ! !
That's right, the principal is very concerned about education, and even has the ability to remember it with a photograph, but when it comes to school sports, especially the football team... the principal is always so ignorant.

However, in order to reach an agreement with the principal as soon as possible, Cao Chen could only get to the point quickly.

"Ahem, principal, have you forgotten?"

Cao Chen paused, imitating the tone and the original words of the principal that day: "If our school team can break the bad name of 'one-round tour' in the new season's high school football league, then our school team will be allowed to play in the school on weekends. Carry out a training camp and increase the training frequency of the school team to 'three training sessions a week'... Well, this is also my limit, I hope Lao Cao will not make it too difficult for me as the principal."

"ah!!!"

The principal exclaimed, and put on a surprised expression: "Old Cao! So you said this, oops, I've been too busy recently, I forgot... yes, yes, yes, there is such a thing , hahahahaha."

The Principal's laughter was slightly apologetic. In fact, Cao Chen guessed wrong. The Principal was not playing amnesia with him... This matter was really forgotten by him, because in the Principal's opinion, the first It is absolutely, definitely, impossible to break the spell of "round trip" against the Nanhu No. [-] Middle School Team of Nanhu High School Attached to South Academy of Sciences.

Therefore, the principal no longer paid attention to this matter, and just threw it into his mind. In addition, the report work for the first monthly exam in the city was cumbersome, and the principal's brain capacity was really not enough.

Hearing the principal's slightly apologetic laughter, Cao Chen immediately understood that the principal had really forgotten about this matter.

Therefore, Cao Chen also eased his expression. After all, the headmaster's attitude is so humble, and he, who wants more from others, naturally has to relax a little bit.

"Then, Mr. Principal, can we make an announcement, confirm this matter and make it public?"

"Ah???" The principal had another exaggerated expression: "Old Cao, are you joking? Could it be that our school team really defeated the Nanhu Affiliated High School of the Southern Academy of Sciences in the first round?"

"3 to 1."

Cao Chen was not offended by the expression on the headmaster's face. He said the score of the first round in a very flat tone, as if telling the headmaster "I drank two bowls of porridge in the morning".

"3 to 1... Isn't that the score of the warm-up match against Nan Yu Middle School???"

The headmaster frowned: "I said, Lao Cao, don't you want to use the 3-1 victory in the warm-up match to apply for 'three practice sessions a week'? Didn't we agree..."

"Oh no!!!"

Cao Chen's tone was very serious: "This score is not only the score of the warm-up match, but also the score of the first round match, 3 to 1. Our first lieutenant colonel team defeated the South Lake High School of the Southern Academy of Sciences 3 to 1 in the first round and entered the first round. It's round two."

"what???"

The principal was stunned. His expression was very rich, and the rich expression coupled with the fat on his face made Cao Chen smile a little bit after seeing it.

"Old Cao, aren't you kidding me??? 3 to 1...and it's against Nanhu Affiliated High School of Southern Academy of Sciences??? My God, this... how is this possible???"

"Why is it impossible?" Cao Chen asked back: "Could it be that the principal doesn't like our No. [-] middle school football team so much???"

"Oh, no no no...Old Cao, I didn't mean that."

Seemingly sensing Cao Chen's complexion was a bit angry, the headmaster hurriedly apologized with a smile and said, "It's just a bit sudden, after all, our No. [-] Middle School has always..."

Seemingly feeling Cao Chen's unfriendly eyes again, the principal quickly stopped and continued to smile dryly. After all, Cao Chen is a grassroots coach assigned by the General Administration of Sports. He, the principal of a public school, can "lead".

"Ahem, principal, today is different. The society is improving, and our No. [-] middle school team is also improving. Like our frontcourt Ziyang Gaoyi, they are all outstanding among their peers."

"Um……"

The principal nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, this is the first time our Nanhu No. [-] Middle School football team has such a good seed, Lao Cao, you have to take good care of it and see if you can get into the third round... Oh, that's the quarterfinals."

"Principal, do you mean the quarterfinals???"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Wait..." Cao Chen gave the principal a strange look, then took out the Nokia full of historical traces from his trouser pocket, and found the text message he received yesterday.

"High School Football League South Lake Competition Committee Notice: According to the investigation, the Xinghu Middle School team, which won the game with a score of 7 to 0 in the first round of the league, is suspected of using professional team players to sign up for the competition. After discussion, the following decisions were made: the first round match between Xinghu Middle School team and Beiyang Middle School team was automatically judged as a 0-3 loss for Xinghu Middle School, and Beiyang Middle School would advance to the next round. The secondary schools directly under the city will increase their qualifications for the high school football league next season."

When reciting, Cao Chen deliberately amplified his own voice, and read out every single word in a correct voice.

"So...Old Cao, then our opponent in the second round is Beiyang Middle School?"

"Theoretically, this is..."

"In theory???"

"Yes, only in theory, but..."

Cao Chen continued with a half-smile: "Xu Tianming, the head coach of Beiyang Middle School, resigned as coach three days ago and left Nanhu City. Now, the school team of Beiyang Middle School has been disbanded. The coaching staff of the team have all resigned." , when the team disbanded, our opponent in the second round, Beiyang Middle School, decided to forfeit the game... In other words, we were judged by the competition committee to beat Beiyang Middle School 3-0 in the second round, and we entered the third round directly. "

"..."

The principal seemed to be a little distrustful of his hearing: "Old Cao, you mean, our No. [-] Middle School has already entered the quarter-finals???"

"Yes!"

Cao Chen's expression was very unquestionable: "Beiyang Middle School has already given up the competition. If our school doesn't make it to the quarter-finals, can it be given to the South Lake Affiliated High School of the Southern Academy of Sciences???"

"hiss……"

The principal took a deep breath: "My God, I suddenly made it to the quarterfinals. This... is really not a cover, Lao Cao, you can do it!"

Facing such a fact, the headmaster couldn't hide.

He gave Cao Chen a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart. This kind of admiration was not feigned. After all, the quality of education was among the best in the city, and the school football team could reach the top eight in the city. He was praised and praised by his colleagues and superiors in the Municipal Education Bureau.

With the school team so honored, the principal also made a decision.

compromise! ! !

After all, the current Nanhu No. 3 Lieutenant Colonel's team is in full swing after defeating the South Lake Affiliated High School of the Southern Academy of Sciences 1-[-], plus skipping the second round and entering the third round. Speaking of the quarter-finals, even the semi-finals, finals, and championships are all possible!

In this way, the football team of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School is another achievement of the principal to embellish himself besides education. Such a "potential stock", the principal will not let it go.

"Old Cao, there is nothing wrong with adding training sessions. We have agreed before that as long as the school team can qualify for the second round, the school will extend it to 'three training sessions a week'. Now they will directly enter the third round. It's the quarterfinals... It's just a decision on this matter, and what else do you need to ask directly, do you need to update the training equipment? Or buy an extra batch of new balls? Or the turf needs to be maintained? These are all okay! "

Hearing the principal's words, Cao Chen burst into laughter. Of course, this kind of laughter was not malicious. Cao Chen was just happy that the principal had seen through some very simple problems.

"Since the headmaster said so, shall I also give some new 'suggestions' to the football team?"

"It's okay, Lao Cao, just say it."

After all, the principal moved quickly to his desk to get paper and pen. That round belly did not hinder his actions. This is enough to see that the principal is no longer just perfunctory about this matter. Rather, it is already on the agenda.

But just as Cao Chen and the principal were preparing to talk about serious matters in a harmonious atmosphere, there was a burst of extremely discordant footsteps coming from the door of the principal's office.
