football is not round

Next time:
Mengxi Stadium is still in the fifth round of the National Men's Football League A match. The two sides of the match are Shengcheng PIP Football Club and Shenbei Team of the same city.It was originally a game with great disparity in strength, but with the atmosphere of a derby in the same city, it seemed that the game was extremely anxious.

In the first half, Li Qingcheng, who arrived with a transfer in the winter window, played for the first time, scored a goal at the beginning of the game, and then made a penalty to ensure the Shengcheng team took the lead twice.However, Jose, one of the few strong players in the Shenbei team, broke out and completed a hat-trick in the last minute of the first half. The Shenbei team led dramatically by 1 to [-] and ended the first half.

Under the guidance of Nuan Xiaoxi, Governor Chen took everyone back to the box to start the second tour of skewering.

Since the stadium is still relatively old, the bathroom is not so-called independent, but the bathroom in the box is still different from the ordinary stands of the stadium.

Li Jinyu came out with a dark face, and Zhu Guangliang followed behind, walking silently all the way to the bathroom.

After relieved, Li Jinyu took out a cigarette from his pocket instead of washing his hands immediately.Zhu Guangliang lit a lighter from behind and stretched it out in front of Li Jinyu.Li Jinyu covered the flame of the lighter with both hands, and lit a cigarette.Then he took out another cigarette and handed it to Zhu Guangliang.

"Mr. Nuan never smokes?" Li Jinyu asked afterward.

"Mr. Nuan has been quitting for many years, and now he can't smoke a few cigarettes a year." Zhu Guangliang replied casually.

"It's amazing. I never smoked. Ever since I managed the club, I can't leave my cigarette now." Li Jinyu said helplessly.

"If you can smoke less, smoke less. The first time I know Mr. Nuan quit smoking for two years, and then he picked it up. Later, when he became a regional manager, he was under too much pressure and drank soup every day. As a result, his illness didn't improve, so he quit smoking."

"Haha... an unexpected harvest."

"Mr. Nuan has always said that it's okay to work hard, just in case it succeeds."

"Can you still see President Nuan smoking now?"

"Why not, where did he get the cigarettes? Every time he is depressed, he can ask for it from me."

Li Jinyu exhaled smoke rings, looking at the frontline deputy manager of the Outreach, who was only a driver before.Li Jinyu knew that he might never have the chance to get as close to Nuan Xiaoxi as the middle-aged man in front of him in his life.

"If he wants it, you can give it, don't you persuade him?"

"Except for Feifei, it's probably useless to persuade anyone." Zhu Guangliang replied unintentionally.

"Oh..." Li Jinyu was thoughtful.

"Don't think about it, I don't understand, Xiaoma doesn't persuade you every time." Zhu Guangliang added.

The two of them chatted while smoking cigarettes in the bathroom where they washed their hands, taking out another cigarette after smoking one.Zhu Guangliang seems to be chatting casually, but he also abides by a bottom line and never expresses Nuan Xiaoxi's views on the players and the head coach.And Li Jinyu also found that although he couldn't understand Nuan Xiaoxi's views on the team from the close ministers around Nuan Xiaoxi, he could learn more about Nuan Xiaoxi.

At this time, in Nuan Xiaoxi's box, the two ladies also went to the bathroom together, and also went to touch up their makeup.Women, all love beauty.

Now Nuan Xiaoxi and Governor Chen were left in the room again. Governor Chen glanced at his secretary and said, "You should go and make it easier, I guess I won't be free for the second half of the game."

"Okay." The secretary got up and went out.

"Nuan Dong," Governor Chen greeted.

"Governor, you see that there is no one else, just call me Dong Nuan, just call me Xiaoxi." Governor Chen's heartfelt words before the match let Nuan Xiaoxi know that his chance has come.

"Well, speaking of it, your father and I knew each other back then. Although we were not best friends, we were also friends who drank together. From then on, when there is no one else, I will call you Xiaoxi." Governor Chen talked about his relationship with the Nuan family.

"Yes, junior." Nuan Xiaoxi nodded happily.

"Xiaoxi, the game was played well. Don't just look at one victory, I think there will be a breakthrough this season."

"I don't think it's a problem to qualify."

"I mean other games."

"The FA Cup?"

"Ah."

"The current team may be a bit..."

"I don't even dare to think about it. How could there be a breakthrough. When I came here, I took a look at it. The final is the guest first, then the host, right?" Governor Chen interrupted Nuan Xiaoxi.

"Yes."

"There are only six games in total. If you work hard, I think you can win it. It has been many years without a decent national football championship. Even Li Jinyu is the runner-up in the league."

"Well," it's true that Nuan Xiaoxi didn't think about making a breakthrough before, but he really didn't have much confidence, including the people around him, except Ma Feifei who didn't know anything about football.

"I'll go to Xiaolian for investigation in a few days, and then I'll help you deal with the matter. After the overall province's football plan is settled, I'm going to go to Didu and report to the higher authorities. On the one hand, I'll go to the Ministry of Education to get some resources, and on the other hand, I'll go to the Sports Bureau to pay my respects to the pier. The Olympics must be supported, and football must also have a breakthrough."

Nuan Xiaoxi stared at Governor Chen intently, and listened carefully to the meaning of the words.

"It's a pity that Li Jinyu's wave back then, it's a pity that the final away game ended in a draw."

"Well," Nuan Xiaoxi didn't watch the game, but it was an unforgettable game for those who like football, and for provincial people.

"If the above work could be done in advance before that year, and no favoritism was required, even if the first few games were fairer, the suspense would not be left to the end. Let other provinces take the championship away, don't you think so?" Governor Chen kept staring at the TV recalling the year, and finally looked at Nuan Xiaoxi, and asked.

"Yes, all of us should work hard."

"What are you trying to do? I've heard about your misplaced management ideas, um! Okay, I agree." Governor Chen gave Nuan Xiaoxi a thumbs up, "If we can all do this, and do our own work well, don't let the outsiders control the insiders. If you fight against the outsiders, let alone break out of Asia, I don't think there is no chance to win the World Cup."

"En," Nuan Xiaoxi nodded.

"So, Xiaoxi, just stick to your duty. It's my turn to go out and fight for it. I won't hide behind. I, Old Chen, am not such a disrespectful person." Governor Chen called himself Old Chen to Nuan Xiaoxi for the second time, and Nuan Xiaoxi also really felt this change.

Maybe Governor Chen knew Nuan Xiaoxi more and more, so he recognized him more and more.Maybe it was the fierce competition on the stadium that aroused Governor Chen's long-suppressed passion, or maybe it was the active atmosphere in the stadium that infected Governor Chen. In short, Governor Chen was really happy today, and unconsciously wooed the young man in front of him who had let him down a bit.At the beginning, Governor Chen hoped that Nuan Xiaodong would come over to take over and build the team, not only because of Nuan Xiaodong's extraordinary ability, but also because of Nuan Xiaodong's even more powerful father-in-law.

Looking at the grounded base of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club and the vibrant stadium atmosphere, Governor Chen was finally satisfied and recognized the young man from years ago.

Governor Chen continued: "I know you don't want to get involved in the team, and Li Jinyu and I will bring it up later. But you still have to get your funds in place, and the summer window is only a few months away. It's time to strengthen and reduce burdens. I told Li Jinyu that you have a fancy to Jose, and you should also let people who are not used by your reserve team. Are you in the province? It doesn't hurt to be close."

Nuan Xiaoxi let out a long sigh of relief, the one who should come, the one who changed the way is still here.

"Hehe... Don't worry, I will find a chance later, and I will pay a visit to the Shenbei team to recognize the door."

"It's time for you to know the door, not only their door, but other teams should go and see. The team in Hangzhou, the female general manager of the Wu family, you should also go and see."

Nuan Xiaoxi's mind was spinning rapidly thinking about this woman's background. Before that, she hadn't taken care of the club's specific affairs, so she didn't have many impressions of this Hangzhou First Division team.One is the biggest competitor of his team's promotion, who has just been unexpectedly relegated from the previous level of the league.Then the province over there also hurriedly found a new investor, and there was the action of the female general manager in front of him.The second impression is that Manager Wu is very beautiful. This is what Nuan Xiaoxi discovered by accidentally looking through the news at the beginning of the season.As for other impressions, he didn't do any research. If he didn't ask, or if he didn't encounter anything, Zhu Guangliang, who was in charge of his external relations, would naturally not tell him in advance.

"Well, yes. I plan to visit this away game." Nuan Xiaoxi responded. Nuan Xiaoxi never saw the opponent's club personnel in the away game, and watched the game in a low-key way from the away fans' stands.On the contrary, he has a good relationship with the fans of his club, although it did not prevent them from scolding him when they lost.

"I'll say hello to the Shenbei team first, and you go there early. Xiaolian will take care of it, and I'll ask the secretary to tell you, so don't worry too much. Go to Didu. Before I leave, I'll go back to Governor Zhou to ask for resources. Let's work hard and achieve results. I think the governor will support it." Governor Chen concluded.

"Okay, Governor Chen is taking care of you." Nuan Xiaoxi was grateful, and unconsciously held up a drink cup to respect Governor Chen.

Governor Chen picked up the cup: "Buy more people in summer. We don't know what to buy. You should do your job well, and I will do my job well." After speaking, Governor Chen drank it down.

"Don't worry," Nuan Xiaoxi knew that this drink was not cheap, so she added to her budget, so she also drank the tens of millions of drinks.

After putting down the cup, the two ladies entered the box one after another.

"Is it cold? I'll ask Xiao Cao to warm it up." Ma Feifei asked.

"Well, good," Nuan Xiaoxi replied.

"Governor Chen, you should also point to us more, we will lose." Sister Cat said to Governor Chen with a coquettish tone.
"Haha... Hey, it just so happens that Li Jinyu is back too." Governor Chen said with a smile, Li Jinyu walked into the box alone.

"What did Governor Chen say about me?" Seeing that Governor Chen was happy, Li Jinyu thought he had said something embarrassing about him back then.

"It's just in time for you to come back. I talked to Nuan Xiaoxi just now, but he doesn't care about anything." Governor Chen said to Li Jinyu.

"Hmm..." Li Jinyu glanced at Nuan Xiaoxi suspiciously, but Nuan Xiaoxi was still eating and didn't look at him.

"This year's team is pretty good. I think it's going to produce some results. What do you think?"

"Don't worry, we should be able to upgrade." Li Jinyu assured, while Nuan Xiaoxi was still eating on her own, without looking up at them, and without any expression, she couldn't tell that she was thinking about anything else.

"I mean, I don't just want the first division championship, I also want a real domestic champion for the fans in the province."

"Ah..." After Governor Chen finished speaking, Sister Cat came out in surprise.

"Don't worry about it. I just told you Nuan Dong that the picture-in-picture is your strongest backing. Right, Nuan Dong?" Governor Chen looked at Nuan Xiaoxi with a smile.

Nuan Xiaoxi put down the barbecue in his hand, picked up the wet wipes on the table, and said while wiping: "There is no upper limit to the budget, what can I buy if I don't have anything? It's the same as the barbecue on the table, what do you want to eat, what to order. Governor, the tinfoil pig heart and roast pig heart just now are not bad, how about another one?"

"Okay, I think any fresh mushrooms and tofu are also good, and I will come again. Today, Nuan Dong treats you, you are welcome." Governor Chen said with a smile.

"Hehehe..." Li Jinyu smiled, and also peeked at Nuan Xiaoxi, but still didn't notice any change in expression.

After a while, Ma Feifei and Li Jinyu's assistant Xiao Cao came in with a hot barbecue, not only tin foil pig heart, grilled pig heart, grilled fresh mushrooms and tofu, but also many other meat skewers and grilled vegetables.

"Well, there is always a combination of warmth. It is not enough to have the main force, and there are many strong substitutes, so that the main force can be more delicious and not greasy." Governor Chen picked up a bunch of roasted peppers and said.

"Hehe...You like the leader, you often come to see the ball." Nuan Xiaoxi said politely.

"Well, I hope there will be a final or something this year. I will definitely come again. Otherwise, I won't be able to buy tickets, hahaha..." Governor Chen expressed his desire for this championship in a joke.

It is not only Governor Chen, but also Li Jinyu who are eager for this championship in the box.The year Li Jinyu left the provincial football team, he won the Golden Boot award in the first division A league at that time, but the provincial football team was only the runner-up of the league.It took more than 20 years to save a serious domestic football champion, so Li Jinyu is also anxious and longing for this long-awaited domestic champion.

Another cat sister, she knows what the leader means to be a champion.It means that the team must pay close attention to strengthening their strength, and the opportunity to show their talents has arrived half a year in advance.Sister Cat was also laughing, gearing up.

And only Nuan Xiaoxi's smiling expression revealed helplessness.The pressure of this championship means tens of millions of expenses for him. "Where does the money come from?" This was the question that Nuan Xiaoxi had been thinking about since hearing the championship from Governor Chen for the first time just now.

There's only one person in the room who doesn't care about it all, what champion?What honor?It doesn't matter to her, she is the one, the winning club is still the club, the losing secretary is still the secretary's, Ma Feifei.At this time, only Ma Feifei filled their glasses one by one amidst the excitement of the crowd.

Having followed Nuan Xiaoxi in the sales business for more than ten years, Ma Feifei has seen a lot of vows made at the dinner table, but few of them can be fulfilled in the end!

This was Ma Feifei's first reaction after hearing about the champion.Ma Feifei herself must have forgotten that a few days ago, when Zhu Guangliang and Nuan Xiaoxi had no intention of chatting about the FA Cup championship here, she still felt that her team could win the championship.

Before the start of the second half of the game, Zhu Guangliang and Governor Chen's secretary finally returned to the box together.

"Haha...it must be two big smoking guns, I'm right," Governor Chen said to the two people with a smile.

"Hehe..." the secretary smiled.

The two sat down, and everyone started a simple barbecue activity, and occasionally chatted a few words about the game.The desire for the championship for a while dilutes the emotion of being behind in the first half.

"I think the midfielder Pi Luke needs to adjust the midfielder. He was shot through in the first half. Li Jinyu, what do you think?" Governor Chen guessed.

"Yes, the midfielder Gotze did not play very well. I tend to change to a four-four-two-one-for-one formation in the second half. Go forward or a winger, and replace Gotze. It will be better to let the wing take more balls and launch an attack." Li Jinyu replied.

"I remember that Zhang Jing played very well in the last game. I think it is also very good to come up and play."

"He's a bit injured, so he's not on the bench. Yu Han is here, he's playing left, so he should be replaced." Sister Cat reminded.

"Injury is really the biggest obstacle," Governor Chen said with emotion.

"Oh, I remember there is another Li Xu, who scored goals in the previous games, right? Is he on the list?" Governor Chen's secretary picked up the team list on the table again to confirm.

"Yes," Nuan Xiaoxi replied quickly.

"Actually, I think Xiao Zhao from the youth team can come up and give it a try," Sister Cat said aside.

"Xiao Zhao?" Governor Chen tried hard to remember.

"Oh, he was also promoted from the youth team by head coach Piruk this time."

"Piruk is very caring. How many people have been promoted in such a short time? Xiao Zhao, Li Weifeng mentioned before the game, Yang Xu, Zheng Tao, and Zhang Jing, are there five?"

"This is also the credit of Ma Lao before," Nuan Xiaoxi said with emotion.

While eating and chatting, the time passed quickly, and the players of the Shengcheng team ran into the field from the locker room one after another.

At this time, there was a uniform sound of cheering outside the box again:
"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!"

. . . . . .

"Let's go, let's tidy up and eat what we have to eat. How about going outside in the second half to release our youth that we have nowhere to release?" Governor Chen stood up and said with a smile.

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed and followed Governor Chen to the balcony outside the box.

Nuan Xiaoxi wiped her hands and stood up. Seeing Zhu Guangliang give herself a signal look, she deliberately dragged Zhu Guangliang behind everyone without leaving the box.

"What's the matter?" Nuan Xiaoxi lowered her head and asked Zhu Guangliang in a low voice.

The second half of the same city derby is coming soon, what else will happen at this time?
In addition, the Shengcheng football team, which was behind, had a sudden reversal in the second half?Or usher in the 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):

Yesterday, Governor Chen of the Provincial Government finished the symposium for investors of professional football clubs in the province, and walked back to his desk by himself.

"Hey..." Governor Chen sighed.

"What's the matter? Governor." The secretary asked with concern.

"None of them will ever work!"

"Isn't there still a picture-in-picture group?" the secretary reminded.

"It seems that I can only count on him in this position... I don't know if there will be enough time?" Governor Chen was still deeply moved.

"It can't be difficult to get some grades."

"Ok?"

"The Shengcheng team is strong this season, and the foreign aid is also very strong. I have seen the draw of the FA Cup. Our half of the final is in the order of first guest and then host."

"Really?" Governor Chen seemed to be grasping at straws.

"Now the FA Cup champion has a lot of gold, and there is a place to directly advance to the group stage of the AFC Champions League." The secretary reminded, and found the FA Cup match list to Governor Chen.

Governor Chen looked at it for a while, "Hengda just won the AFC Champions League, I can't wait to see the semi-finals."

"It's hard to say, that's our home game."

"Ah."

"This year's Club World Cup, played during the winter break of Hengda University, has not changed much in terms of personnel. In addition, I think this year's AFC Champions League defense is the direction they are working hard. Once the league is bitten by a team, they may not be able to make it to that point in the FA Cup. Besides, when it really comes to that point, we are waiting for work at home, and there may not be no chance." The secretary explained.

"Well, a team that takes the AFC Champions League as its goal should start preparing early. Tomorrow I will go and beat Nuan Xiaoxi."

"Well, if you win the championship, the picture-in-picture houses are easy to sell, and it's easy to promote the football community in that city. See how Hengda is now taking the opportunity to deploy diversified industries."

"Well, yes, that's the way of thinking." Governor Chen affirmed.
