my football i call the shots

When the time came to 19:30 in the evening, Cao Chen also started the first meeting of the Nanhu No. [-] High School Team after they arrived in Guangfu City on time.

"Okay! Everyone be quiet, let's start today's meeting."

Cao Chen signaled the boys below to be quiet.

"I believe everyone knows what I'm going to do in the afternoon, right?"

The boys below said in unison excitedly: "Draw lots!!!!"

"Well, that's right, the results of today's lottery finally came out..."

Just when Cao Chen was speaking halfway, the door of the conference hall was suddenly pushed open, and everyone in the conference hall looked towards the door in unison.

This unkind visitor was none other than the school team leader, Mr. Li Wen.

"Hey, everyone has already started the meeting. They didn't even wait for me. Oh! It seems that I, the team leader, have become in vain."

Teacher Li Wen's voice was very ear-piercing, which made people's ears uncomfortable. Adding such words made it even more uncomfortable to listen to.

Regarding Teacher Li Wen's harsh words, Cao Chen responded without showing any weakness, "Hehe, the school team has a meeting to prepare for the next game. It doesn't seem to matter whether the team leader is there or not?!"

"Oh???" Teacher Li Wen didn't get angry because of Cao Chen's words, but he retorted with a smile on his face: "Then the invitation is worse than a chance meeting. Since it's time for the school team meeting, we Since this teacher has been appointed by the principal to lead the team, he has come to learn from Coach Cao!"

"As long as Mr. Li is happy."

After finishing speaking, Cao Chen ignored the unexpected guest and continued to the main topic of the meeting.

"Through the 'fair' draw by the person in charge of the competition committee, we were assigned to Group A! And according to the 'same city team avoidance system', the No. [-] Middle School was assigned to Group B."

Gao Yi stood up excitedly and asked, "Which team is the first team in Group A???"

"It's the Provincial Experimental Middle School."

"hiss……"

Listening to Cao Chen's answer, the boys suddenly gasped.You know, the Provincial Experimental Middle School is the strongest among the twelve teams in the provincial finals. Now, they have to face them in the group stage. Isn't that the rhythm of being bloodbathed?If the opponent is the Guangfu College of the Southern Academy of Sciences, then it is estimated that there will be one or two less losses, right?
Well, although the Guangfu College of the Southern Academy of Sciences defeated the Provincial Experimental Middle School in the Cantonese Division and won the championship trophy in the Cantonese Division, from the perspective of onlookers, this is more of an upset, and everyone still recognizes it Provincial Experimental Middle School is the strongest team in Guangfu Province, bar none.

After Gao Yi heard that the first team in Group A was the Provincial Experimental Middle School, he immediately had a serious expression on his face. Obviously, he was still concerned about the situation of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School playing against the top team in the province. Pretty pessimistic.

"Okay, everyone, don't be so discouraged. Although the group stage has to face the Provincial Experimental Middle School, I have to say that the situation in Group A is relatively optimistic."

Bai Xiaolei also couldn't wait to ask: "Coach Cao, how is the situation in Group A?"

"Our teams in Group A are: Provincial Experimental Middle School, Nanning No. [-] Middle School, Guilin Middle School, Fenghai No. [-] Middle School, Baili Memorial Middle School... Oh, and our Nanhu No. [-] Middle School."

"Nanning No. [-] Middle School??? Guilin Middle School???"

Listening to these two schools, Bai Xiaolei's brows suddenly frowned. Obviously, he knew the strength of these two Guanggui provincial teams.

Seeing Bai Xiaolei's expression, Cao Chen was also very surprised and asked, "Oh? Xiaolei, do you know the situation of Nanning No. [-] Middle School and Guilin Middle School?"

"Yeah, I've played against their core players... Oh, just at the National Youth Games last year, we happened to be in the same group with Guanggui Province in the group stage. After the games, Guanggui Province A player with good strength chose to leave the system like me, and went back to school to continue learning knowledge, ahem..."

When it came to "learning knowledge", Bai Xiaolei blushed immediately.

Well, relying on his resume as an athlete, after entering the best high school in Nanhu City, Bai Xiaolei did work hard to study at the beginning, but his own learning foundation really couldn't keep up with the pace of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School. In the end, Bai Xiaolei He had no choice but to choose to "give up treatment" - anyway, his future direction must be different from that of ordinary high school students, and there is no need to force himself to study.

(PS: Let’s not say that small schemes mislead young people here. If young people find their own direction, make sure it suits them, and are willing to pay more than [-]% of their sweat for it, there is really no need to stick to the conventional path. Of course , choose a path different from others, then you must have a heart that will never regret, even if you fail in the future, you can’t look back and blame yourself at the time.)
"Ahem, it's like this. At that time, there were several good players in Guanggui Province. The ones that impressed me the most were Yao Huihuang, who played in the attacking midfielder position, Tang Yaolong, who played in the center position, and Lin Canhui, who played in the defender position... Oh, and their goalkeeper Li Yiming. After they quit the provincial sports team, they should all go to these two schools to continue their studies."

Hearing that Bai Xiaolei actually knew the players from Guanggui Province, Cao Chen hurriedly asked, "Then which school did they study in???"

"Uh, this question..." Bai Xiaolei scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "I don't know about this either."

"I'm dizzy..."

The subtext in Cao Chen's heart is: You don't know, so why are you talking so much! ?
But fortunately, Bai Xiaolei quickly added: "It's all right! I'll call tomorrow to inquire about the news, and then I'll know which schools the main core members of the Guanggui Provincial Youth Team went to study at that time."

"That's good!!!"

Hearing that Bai Xiaolei was able to inquire about the situation of the two teams in Guanggui Province, Cao Chen was immediately relieved. After all, the teams in Guangfu Province can still get some information from some channels. For the provincial team, Cao Chen has always had a headache: How to make targeted deployments for them?
Now it seems that there are many things that don’t need to worry too much in advance. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge.

Involuntarily, Cao Chen also thought of the "good friend" coach Song Zhe he met this afternoon.

So, Cao Chen hurriedly added: "Xiaolei, you can also inquire about the situation of Liuzhou Middle School and Yulin High School by the way, so I can make a copy for Coach Song's reference."

"Coach Song from No. [-] Middle School???"

Bai Xiaolei was stunned by the thunder. You know, more than a month ago, Nanhu No. [-] Middle School was still an opponent of his own team, and because of the unfair competition system, he lost the championship trophy that was basically hand-wringing.But at this moment, Coach Cao actually said that he would help his former opponent spy on the military. Not to mention that Bai Xiaolei was caught by the thunder, the other players were all looking at Coach Cao in the main seat of the conference hall in surprise.

Cao Chen was immediately blushed by the boys below, and immediately, Cao Chen didn't know what to say, so he could only bite the bullet and respond: "Hey, yes, I just want to help Coach Song from No. [-] Middle School to find out. of……"

The team leader teacher Li Wen who was sitting on the side listened to Cao Chen's words, and he immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to "poke" Cao Chen.

I saw Teacher Li Wen said in a strange way: "Hey! Coach Cao, help Coach Song from No. [-] Middle School find out the news? Tsk tsk, we only lost to No. [-] and No. [-] Middle School in the finals more than a month ago... Tsk tsk, there should be nothing wrong Is it tricky?"

"Ha ha……"

For Teacher Li Wen's eccentric attitude, Cao Chen just responded with a sneer.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Chen continued to explain to Bai Xiaolei: "Try to find out more details, including their performance in the city-level competition area, and their role in the team. Help me find out what you can find out. Guanggui Province There are quite a few talented players, but I don’t know if they all choose to go to high school, I remember some players will choose to join the echelon of the professional team after the provincial youth games.”

"Understood Coach Cao, I will try to collect as much information as possible tonight."

After explaining to Bai Xiaolei, Cao Chen continued to interpret the situation in Group A.

"According to the regulations of the competition system, we, as the sixth-ranked team, will face the first-ranked Provincial Experimental Middle School in the first match, and the second match against Nanning No. [-] Middle School, followed by Guilin Middle School and Fenghai No. [-] Middle School. , Baili Memorial Middle School."

"what……"

Hearing this arrangement, the boys sighed helplessly one by one.

Obviously, everyone didn't want to face the provincial experimental middle school, the strongest in the group, in the first match.Just think about it, if they were bloodbathed by the Provincial Experimental Middle School in the first game, how would they be able to gain confidence in the next game?

Therefore, it makes sense for the ancients to say "a good start" and "a good start".

"I understand everyone's thoughts, but after all, we are the sixth team. The competition system is like this. We can't help it. Everyone has to obey the arrangement..."

After all, Cao Chen also shrugged helplessly.

"Since we have to face the provincial experimental middle school, which is the strongest in the group, in the first game, we have to boost our morale in this first game! Play a wonderful game!"

Cao Chen made a generous speech, even with motivational emotions, but the reaction of the boys below surprised him very much.

Everyone did not give a positive attitude to echo, only sporadic two or three praises, and the others were more silent.

"Uh……"

Seeing his teammates looking at each other in dismay, Wang Bo raised his hand unexpectedly and interjected, "Coach Cao, I have a different opinion."

"Oh, Wang Bo, you just say it's okay."

After getting Cao Chen's consent, Wang Bo also stood up very actively and said: "Coach Cao, I think our preparations need to be strategic, just like Tian Ji's horse racing. I think our goal is to qualify for the group stage , instead of competing for the top spot in the group, there is no need to waste too much energy on the Provincial Experimental Middle School."

"Yes!!!"

"The captain has a good idea."

"More time to prepare for the middle and lower teams!"

……

Wang Bo's opinion was immediately echoed. Obviously, everyone did not support wasting too much time in the game against the Provincial Experimental Middle School.

However, at this time, Gao Yi was silently watching everyone express their opinions, which was quite surprising. Obviously, Gao Yi had a different voice for Wang Bo's opinion.

"The strength of the Provincial Experimental Middle School can be regarded as the strongest among the twelve teams in the Guangdong-Guangzhou competition area. If we can play a good game, even if we can't get all three points, it will be able to deter other opponents! It will be quite advantageous for us to take the initiative in the next game!"

Speaking of this, Cao Chen said to the young man below with an undeniable voice: "So, I have thought about it. In this first game against the Provincial Experimental Middle School, not only should we not give up strategically, but we must also pay attention to it. Play a beautiful game, even if we can't win the Provincial Experimental Middle School, we can't let them win the game easily!!!"

"Uh……"

Regarding Cao Chen's more impassioned and generous words than before, the boys below... well, they still didn't have much reaction, even Wang Bo, who took the initiative to stand up and express everyone's opinions just now, listened to Cao Chen. With such a firm attitude, he also sat down silently.

On the contrary, after Wang Bo sat down, Gao Yi who had been silent just now stood up.

"Everyone, can you listen to me a few words???"
