my football i call the shots

Familiar with the road, Cao Chen took an online car-hailing car to the Guangdong Provincial Football Association building. Since the high school football league is also a youth competition under the Football Association, the responsible party for the provincial finals is the provincial Football Association of each province.

However, the provincial finals are not held separately for each province. For example, Guangfu Province and Guanggui Province are merged into one "Guangdong-Guangzhou Competition Area". The Football Association is responsible.Of course, this does not mean that the officials of the Football Association of Guanggui Province can hang up high and ignore them.

Since the only place in each competition area to enter the national finals is extremely precious, it also represents the interests of each group. Therefore, it is impossible for the officials of the Football Association of Guangxi Province to be in charge of the provincial finals because the Guangfu Provincial Football Association is fully in charge. The game was ignored because of this.Not only did they try to intervene in it, but officials from Guanggui Province even formed a so-called "cheering group" to go to Guangfu. The purpose of this is self-evident.

Naturally, Cao Chen is very clear about these complicated things. After all, he was once considered an influential figure in Chinese football. For some deep things, Cao Chen even knows much more than these so-called leaders.

In order for the team not to be "unspoken" during the lottery, the school originally arranged for the team leader, Mr. Li Wen, to be in charge of the competition committee, but Cao Chen saw that Mr. Li Wen was tall, thin, and lacking in imposing manner. It looked like his head was shaking like a rattle.

"Forget it, let me go."

At that time, Cao Chen only left such a sentence to the principal.

The principal was also very surprised. Mr. Li Wen was a male teacher he was more optimistic about in the school. He was not yet [-] years old. Just glanced at Teacher Li Wen, then shook his head and vetoed it.

Teacher Li Wen was also quite dissatisfied with this. He never thought that he would be looked down upon by a physical education teacher. You know, he is recognized as a "future star" by the school!

The principal was also trying to understand why Cao Chen rejected Teacher Li Wen, but Cao Chen just said: "It's nothing, Teacher Li is not familiar with football, I should go."

At that time, Teacher Li Wen became angry, and he said directly to Cao Chen with a sullen face: "I have watched football for more than ten years! I know as much about football as you do!!!"

"Watching more football doesn't mean you understand football."

Cao Chen shook his head helplessly. In fact, he didn't refuse Mr. Li Wen to be in charge of the lottery because Mr. Li Wen didn't understand football. It's really not something that a young teacher like Li Wen, who only knows how to intrigue, can take responsibility.

"Hmph! Since Coach Cao wants to be in charge of the lottery, let Coach Cao be in charge!"

Teacher Li Wen didn't have too many entanglements with Cao Chen. However, this cold-hearted guy had already started to calculate in his heart how he would avenge this "one-shot revenge".

In fact, Teacher Li Wen also recommended himself to the principal to be the team leader of the school team, including being in charge of the lottery, which Teacher Li Wen also applied for on his own initiative.Because a cunning person like Mr. Li Wen can see that the principal attaches great importance to the school team's participation in the provincial finals, and even the goal is so low that the school team can stand out from the group stage.

How could he, Li Wen, not come to join in on such a good thing?

Moreover, the lottery is purely a matter of luck, and no one can blame anyone for not being able to get a good lottery, but once a weaker group is drawn, then Li Wen can classify it as "I'm lucky! Such a good lottery has been drawn!", this is another capital to ask for credit from the principal.

However, Cao Chen's denial by shaking his head made it impossible for him to realize this small plan that he had already made. Does this make him angry?

In Teacher Li Wen's view, Cao Chen is just trying to take credit!It must be so!

However, neither the principal nor Teacher Li Wen knew how troublesome the drawing of lots was.Sitting in the car all the way, Cao Chen's mind was running non-stop, thinking about what kind of problems he might encounter later.Of course, there are some problems that Cao Chen can't think of solutions now. After all, there are many problems that he can't even think of.

The hotel where the No. 20 Lieutenant Colonel of Nanhu is staying is not too far from the Provincial Football Association’s station. It’s about a 20-minute drive away—oh, during the [-]-minute drive, more than half of the time was delayed by waiting for red lights or traffic jams of.

There is no way, first-tier cities are like this~
After getting out of the car, Cao Chen looked at his watch. It was about 4:15 in the afternoon, and it was only 4 minutes before the lottery started at 10:[-].

However, Cao Chen was not in a hurry to catch up quickly, because he knew very well that although those experienced guys said that the lottery ceremony would start at 4:5, it would not start until at least [-]:[-].

The reason is quite simple. Let’s talk about it, and emphasize some arrangements for the competition at that time, and then draw a lottery and register. How much time will it take?Then it was done, about 5:[-], and then I would make a summary and thank you, and the time was just right for dinner.

This is called "efficient use of time".

Although Cao Chen understands these things, after all, Nanhu No. [-] Middle School entered the provincial finals for the first time in history, and the principal attached great importance to this competition. Come here.Don't leave anything for others to talk about.

Going up to the conference hall on the fourth floor, the situation was just as Cao Chen expected. There were very few schools present at this time. People sighed at the side, and there were only 12 schools already seated at this time.

After taking his seat, the bored Cao Chen also looked at the nameplates on the round table with great interest, trying to see which teams participated in the provincial finals.

According to the arrangement, the number of participating teams in the Guangdong-Guangzhou competition area is: 8 in Guangfu Province and 4 in Guangxi Province.
Originally, there were ten teams in Guangdong and Guangxi, seven in Guangfu Province and three in Guangxi Province. After the expansion of the team this season, the two provinces each increased their quota by one.But in fact, for these two places, Guangfu Province thought that due to the fact that there are so many high school teams here, they will all be included in the bag.However, in the end, the news got out of the news, and Guanggui Province resolutely tore up their face and tried their best to fight for it. Only then did they take back the quota that originally belonged to them like "escaping from a tiger's mouth".

So far in the Guangdong-Guangzhou Division of the High School Football League, a team from Guanggui Province has never won the provincial championship!

Not once!

In the end, the precious place for the national finals has been won by the teams from Guangfu Province in the past. If you can win 9 places for Cantonese Province at this moment, then Guanggui Province will not even think about participating in the national competition. The general competition is over, you know, the current 8 to 4 quota allocation is already very unequal.

The strongest team in Guanggui Province is Nanning No. [-] Middle School. Nanning No. [-] Middle School has never been absent from the provincial finals. The best result is to reach the two finals. However, they were defeated by the Provincial Experimental Middle School and missed the national competition. finals.

Another team known to Cao Chen is Guilin Middle School, which attaches great importance to youth training!

For so many years, Guilin Middle School has been sending high-quality youth training talents to the professional team echelon. It can be said that it is the cradle of campus youth training in Guanggui Province. Like Nanning No. [-] Middle School, they have never missed the provincial finals and scored They passed the finals, but that time, they fell to the hands of the Guangfu High School of the Southern Academy of Sciences and missed the national finals.

In fact, Guilin Middle School should not be unable to participate in the national finals. In the city-level competition area, they swept all kinds of things just like Nanhu No. 12 Middle School did in the Nanhu competition area.But after the end of the municipal competition, some players will always be selected to enter the professional team. After all, December to January happens to be the offseason of the Chinese Football League.

During the offseason, each professional team will begin to enter into intense personnel adjustments. During the team construction period, it is naturally essential to absorb various youth training talents.Therefore, those players from Guilin Middle School who performed well in the municipal competition area are generally selected to enter the professional team after they finish playing in the municipal competition area.

In the final analysis, the professional team is related to one's own future, and the provincial finals are the school's business. No one will hesitate to choose between the professional team and the provincial finals.But fortunately, Guilin Middle School has a very positive attitude towards students entering the professional team. Even after the end of the municipal competition area every year, Guilin Middle School will take the initiative to contact the scouts of the professional team to try out players, trying to let more of players entered the professional team.

This can be said to be a "scene" of Chinese football, which is why Cao Chen knows this team, not one of them.

As for the other two participating teams in Guanggui Province, one is the traditional strong team Liuzhou Middle School, and the other is the "dark horse" Yulin High School.

Like Nanhu No. 2 Middle School, Yulin High School entered the provincial finals for the first time. It is reported that they beat Wuzhou Middle School 0-[-] in the knockout round. In the provincial finals last season, Wuzhou Middle School made it to the final four!

Compared with the four teams in Guanggui Province, the situation of the eight teams in Guangfu Province is much more complicated.

As the first position in the lottery, the two dominant teams, Guangfu Experimental Middle School and Guangfu High School Attached to Southern Academy of Sciences, continued to maintain their strength in the municipal division.Perhaps on purpose, Guangfu Experimental Middle School and Guangfu High School Affiliated to Southern Academy of Sciences were divided into upper and lower divisions in the Guangfu competition area. The two teams met in the final after various abuses in their respective half areas.

The confrontation between the two teams in the final was all kinds of tragic - a 1-1 tie in regular time, a 1-1 tie in overtime, and in the penalty shootout, the Guangfu High School of the Southern Academy of Sciences defeated the Provincial Experimental Middle School 12-11 , won the championship in the Cantonese Division.

It is worth mentioning that it was Lin Liangzhi, the ace striker of Guangfu Experimental Middle School, who missed a penalty kick in the penalty shootout.

In addition to Nanhu No. [-] Middle School and Nanhu No. [-] Middle School, the other four participating teams in Guangfu Province are: Dongshan Middle School, Baili Memorial Middle School, Fenghai No. [-] Middle School, and Lantian High School.

Due to the principle of drawing lots such as geographical avoidance and equal distribution of strength, the 12 participating teams were divided into 6 gears.

The first gear: Guangfu Experimental Middle School, Guangfu High School Affiliated to South Academy of Sciences.

The second gear: Nanning No. [-] Middle School and Nanhu No. [-] Middle School.

The third gear: Guilin Middle School, Liuzhou Middle School.

The fourth gear: Fenghai No. [-] Middle School and Dongshan Middle School.

The fifth gear: Baili Memorial Middle School, Yulin High School.

The sixth gear: Lantian High School, Nanhu No. [-] Middle School.

Originally, the divisions of Yulin High School and Lantian High School were switched, but for the benefit of their own provincial team, the leaders of the Guanggui Provincial "Cheering Group" strongly opposed it.In their view, both Yulin High School and Lantian High School are teams that have not participated in the provincial finals and need a reasonable classification standard.

So, in the end, the two teams compared the goal difference in the city-level competition area. In the end, Yulin High School narrowly won by one goal, and was transferred from the sixth position to the fifth position. It can be regarded as a little advantage, right?

However, Nanhu No. [-] Middle School does not know about this kind of secret thing. You must know that Lantian High School, Yulin Affiliated High School, and Nanhu No. [-] Middle School are teams that have never participated in the provincial finals. If it is to be fair, it should be the third team. Let's compare goal difference together!In terms of goal difference, Nanhu No. [-] Middle School completely overwhelmed these two teams!
But isn't there no way?

Nanhu No. [-] Middle School has always dealt with the province only in terms of culture and education. Regarding sports, it is even the first time that Nanhu No. [-] Middle School has dealt with the province.That being the case, who would pay attention to the new army of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School?From everyone's point of view, this team is here to serve as cannon fodder!It's not as good as playing the amazing Blue Sky High School in the Blue Ocean Division with combat effectiveness.

That being the case, the fifth position was naturally won for Lantian High School, not Nanhu No. [-] Middle School.

After all, the lottery is not such a simple random event.

This matter is very complicated.
