my football i call the shots

"Wow!!! This is Guangfu! It's so prosperous!!!"

The Nanhu No. [-] Middle School team, a group of high school lads, most of them have been living in a small seaside city like Nanhu since they were young, and rarely go out to see how exciting the outside world is.

Of course, this has something to do with the cultural customs of Nanhu City, right?Although in the last century, many older generations left their hometowns and left this small seaside city to start businesses all over the country and even around the world, but in fact, this small seaside city is extremely self-enclosed because it has its own language, culture, and even religious beliefs, so it is difficult for foreign cultures to have an impact on this place.

Now, most people prefer to live a comfortable life here, instead of leaving their hometowns and sailing across the ocean to find a new life like the previous generation.

It was the first time to leave this quaint seaside city. The boys of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School looked at the prosperity of the provincial capital. Everyone's curiosity was born from the bottom of their hearts. Even the team's most calm and honest Captain Wang Bo was also intoxicated at this time.Perhaps, the prosperity of big cities is one of the reasons why young people are attracted to struggle here?
"Okay, okay, everyone, hurry up and pack your bags. We have to stay in Guangfu for at least half a month, and I will take everyone to play slowly when I have free time."

Cao Chen also shook his head helplessly as he watched the boys on the team tirelessly and the high-rise buildings in the big cities exclaiming in various ways.I am indeed no younger than these young people. Cao Chen was already exhausted from all kinds of backaches and fractured from the about 6-hour bus ride from Nanhu City to Guangfu City. He really didn't want to appreciate the prosperity of such a big city.

Although Cao Chen used to fly in the sky in various ways when he played in professional teams, spending more than ten hours at every turn, covering more than half of China's journey span, but that was when he was young after all.Besides, in this place of Guangfu, Cao Chen often came here when he played professional teams.Cao Chen still remembers that before he went to Germany to study abroad, the two top league professional teams in Guangfu were not called Evergrande and R&F, but Helios and Hongyuan at that time.

(PS: Guangzhou Sun God is the predecessor of Guangzhou Evergrande. It changed hands several times in the middle, and the name changed: Guangzhou Xiangxue, Guangzhou Hospital, Guangzhou Baiyun Mountain... In short, before Evergrande took over, it was basically taken over by pharmaceutical companies. Hongyuan It has completely disappeared in the long river of history. At that time, it was transferred to Qingdao Hailifeng as a whole. Now Hailifeng has also completely disappeared from the Chinese professional football stage after the gambling turmoil.

The predecessor of R & F was the Shenyang football team, that is, Shenyang Jinde, which was later transferred to Changsha Jinde. After Jinde was unable to invest in football, it was transferred to Shenzhen and changed its name to Shenzhen Phoenix.Later, after the team went bankrupt, the R&F Group took over, and miraculously completed the season that season.This is probably the historical change of the two professional teams in Guangzhou now. )
Including when Cao Chen was a member of the national team, the national team often came to Guangfu to train or play games. At that time, there were still many southern players in the national team. Open, the Cantonese national football team is already pitifully rare.

Due to various reasons, the southern football, which was once prosperous in talent and self-contained, has gradually declined on the big stage of Chinese football. (PS: That’s true. Although Guangzhou has two top league teams and both have played in the AFC Champions League, we must know that in the main lineup of Evergrande and R&F, only Lu Lin can be regarded as a pure old Guangzhou, right? )
While Cao Chen was thinking about some friends from the past in Guangfu, he helped the boys with their luggage.Because today he has to quickly settle the hotel check-in arranged by the competition committee and complete the first registration for the boys. He, the head coach, still has a lot to do.

Just when Cao Chen was busy getting up and down, Gao Yi, who had been looking around after getting off the car, came to Cao Chen's side somehow, and asked with a puzzled face: "Coach Cao, can we come here in the car today?" ?”

"Ah??? That's right."

When Cao Chen was asked by Gao Yi, he seemed even more puzzled, and he asked back: "In addition to Ziyang, there are 22 members of our team, 3 coaches (Cao Chen, Xiao Wang, and Doctor Kang), and there are 26 people who are responsible for the team. The team leader, Mr. Li Wenjie who came with the bus, there are only [-] people. Carry your luggage and things for the team, a bus is just right."

"No, I mean..."

Gao Yi blushed, looked around, and after confirming that "the wall has no ears", he leaned into Cao Chen's ear and asked, "What I mean is, where are the cheerleaders? Didn't you come with us?"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Listening to Gao Yi's question, Cao Chen immediately understood: Gao Yi, this stinky boy, is really moved by spring.

Cao Chen temporarily stopped what he was doing, and asked in a low voice with a teasing look on his face, "Which girl do you like in the cheerleading squad? Are you so concerned about the cheerleading schedule?"

"Uh……"

When Gao Yi was asked such a question by Cao Chen, his face turned even redder.

I saw Gao Yi paused for a long time, and then thought of an excuse to prevaricate: "No! I am at the same table, and this time I was also elected to the cheerleading team, so just ask!"

"It's just as simple as sitting at the same table?"

Hearing Gao Yi's words, the smile on Cao Chen's face became more meaningful. After all, he came from a young age. Cao Chen still understands the ambiguous relationship with young people.

"Ahem, really! It's just the same table!!!"

Gao Yi's face was so red that it could bleed. Although he was careless all day long, he was still a shy boy after all. Regarding this kind of emotional matter, Gao Yi was still very shy.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore!" Seeing that Gao Yi was so shy that he almost didn't find a hole to hide, Cao Chen stopped teasing him: "We came here a week in advance to prepare for the battle, and the cheerleaders will wait about five days later." Teacher Hu Min led the team here, after all, it is public funding, and the school also needs to consider funding issues."

"I see……"

Knowing that the cheerleading team did not arrive in Guangfu on the same day as the school team, Gao Yi finally came to his senses. He was thinking about why he only had one car just now, and he was worried that the bus carrying the cheerleading team would get separated. It seems that he was thinking too much up.

"Then I have to tell you one more thing..." Cao Chen paused, and looked at Gao Yi with a deep smile on his face: "Because the school is worried that male and female students will be overwhelmed when they get along for a long time, so the cheerleaders this time The place where the school team is arranged to live is not the same as the place where the school team lives, and it is a little farther away."

"Uh, how far???"

"About seven or eight subway stations."

"Oh, that's it..." Gao Yi nodded thoughtfully, but in fact, he didn't know the concept of the distance between seven or eight subway stations.

"Don't think that the distance between a subway station and the Nanhu bus station is the same! The distance between subway stations is basically about 1500 meters."

"What!? One station is 1500 meters! And seven or eight stations!?"

After all, Nanhu City is only such a small place, and it is a seaside city. It is basically impossible to build a subway. Therefore, Gao Yi has never experienced the feeling of a subway. Naturally, he cannot understand the vastness and fast pace of such a big city. live.

In addition, the pace of life in Nanhu is notoriously slow, which naturally forms a particularly sharp contrast - you must know that the distance between some bus stops in Nanhu City is less than 300 meters...

"That's right, that's what happens in first-tier cities."

After all, Cao Chen shrugged helplessly. Obviously, he didn't like the fast-paced life in the first-tier cities. Otherwise, the once No. 1 player in China's top five leagues would not choose Give up the glorious past, change your face and become an unknown campus coach in the small city of Nanhu.

"Oh, okay... ah! Coach Cao, move things slowly, I'll go up and have a look first." After leaving these words, Gao Yi ran away in a hurry.

Cao Chen couldn't help but complain: "You brat, he ran away after asking for information, and he didn't help. Be careful, I'll report to your father."

However, Gao Yi has already run away, so where can I hear Cao Chen complaining~
It took nearly an hour for a group of 26 people from Nanhu No. [-] Middle School to carry luggage and training equipment into the hotel and check in. I was so tired that I quickly lay down and had a good rest.

It has to be said that Nanhu No. [-] Middle School's support for the football team's participation in the provincial finals is really strong enough.

The hotel the school team stayed at was a three-star hotel. Not far from the hotel there was a gym and two 7-a-side football fields, one of which was temporarily contracted by the school for the school team's recent training.Not only that, the school also contracted a bus in Guangfu for the school team to travel.

It can be said that in order to give the school team the best results, the principal has put all his heart and soul into it.

You know, all the members of the school team have one room per person!You know, other schools basically have two people in one room, and some even have four people in one room!Not to mention that the gym also has hardware facilities such as football fields and dedicated buses.Not only that, in terms of food standards, the school is not stingy to do its best!The principal used his personal relationship to help the school team find a restaurant near the hotel that was responsible for the school team's food supply.

Other schools even let students eat boxed lunches after playing games to save money. In contrast, this principal who once said no to the development of sports events is really generous-of course, this also has to be done. The benefit is that after Nanhu No. [-] Middle School was officially upgraded to a provincial key middle school, the increase in funding has something to do with it.

But in other words, if the principal doesn't support it, no matter how much the school spends, it's impossible to give the school team such strong software and hardware support!

After Cao Chen arranged for the boys to check in and checked the rooms one by one, Cao Chen left the hotel where the school team was staying without stopping, and went straight to the office of the Guangfu Provincial High School Football League Competition Committee alone, because, At this moment, the results of the group draw for the provincial finals will be announced soon.

So, what powerful opponents will Nanhu No. [-] Middle School encounter in the group stage?
