football is not round

Chapter 146, The Role of Stars

Next time:

The home game between Shengcheng PIP Football Club and Yanbian Football Team is going on fiercely. With the goal of the speed forward Zhang Jingyang of Shengcheng PIP Football Club, Shengcheng team leads [-]-[-].

On the balcony of the box at Mengxi Stadium, Nuan Xiaoxi and Hua Kate were chatting about the club's management ideas and the games on the field.

"This split was originally because we were afraid of getting involved with each other. However, we are members of the Nuan family after all, and the Nuan family will not be helpless. And who doesn't know that the children in your womb are the future successors of the Nuan family, and they will not be so stupid as to fight against the mother of the successor of the Nuan family, right? Besides, for the Nuan family, even if it is a picture-in-picture real estate company or a provincial branch, let alone a few hundred million, it is not necessarily a problem. Nuan Xiaoxi..." Said confidently.

"The picture-in-picture group has a provincial branch?" Hua Kate looked at Nuan Xiaoxi.

"Yes, do you know how many billion our profit is expected to be this year?" Nuan Xiaoxi looked at Hua Kate with a smile.

"How much?" Hua Kite asked curiously.

Nuan Xiaoxi smiled and stretched out her fingers, and made an "eight" to Hua Kate.

"Ah!" Hua Kate opened her mouth.Because Hua Kate really knew that the PIP Group was very big, after all, he curiously researched it online when he was free.However, when she saw Nuan Xiaoxi gesturing to herself a profit of [-] million a year, she was still surprised.

"I can't judge the promotion situation after Klinsmann is in place now. If I can participate in a few sales promotion activities, I tend to make a higher profit." Nuan Xiaoxi said with a smile.

"Then how to use it?" Hua Kite asked seriously.

"The group should hold a press conference when everyone welcomes them. It would be better to try to participate in the activities of one or two real estates. As for our Shengcheng, we must participate in the promotion activities of at least three real estates. In this way, we can recover the funds of one or two real estates in advance, and at least there will be an increase in profits of hundreds of millions. Hehe..." Nuan Xiaoxi said with a smile.

"Then the signing is still effective, it's not useless." Hua Kite looked at Nuan Xiaoxi after listening.

"This, we're all guessing. It depends on the actual effect. It's not bad to see how many real estate promotions James participated in this year." Nuan Xiaoxi said with a smile.

"You said, would someone buy a property because of a football star?" Hua Kite asked curiously.

"No, only very few will. However, because of the eyeball effect of this star, many people will pay attention to our group's brand and know the name picture-in-picture." Nuan Xiaoxi explained with a smile.

"That's right, what you need is the brand effect, as long as you control the quality of the house." Hua Kate said, looking at the fierce competition in the arena.

"What's more important is the property. A good property is really good. The so-called supporting facilities and surrounding areas are all supported by the government." Nuan Xiaoxi also looked into the stadium after finishing speaking.

"Yeah." Hua Kite nodded, leaning against Nuan Xiaoxi to watch the fierce competition.

The atmosphere of another box in Mengxi Stadium is not as warm as here. The busy work makes the staff of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Club in the box careless about the fierce competition in the stadium.

"Has the reply from the Shanghai team arrived now? What do they mean?" Mr. Mao, the deputy general manager of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club in the box, shouted to his secretary.

"Mr. Mao, the Shanghai team hasn't responded yet." Mr. Mao's secretary replied.

"Understood. What is Zhang Ye's current offer, please sort it out and let me have a look." Mr. Mao did not look up, but was already staring at his computer screen, patiently waiting for the morning news on the European transfer market.

"Boss Mao." Xiao Cao, the secretary of the general manager of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club, walked to Boss Mao and asked.

"What's wrong?" President Mao looked up at Xiao Cao.

"Did the Shanghai team reply to the offer?" Xiao Cao asked.

"I just asked, and we haven't responded to the quotation yet, and we are also waiting. What does he mean outside?" Mr. Mao finished talking and looked at the balcony outside the box. Li Xu's agent was talking and laughing with Li Jinyu, the general manager of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club.

"I came here to tell you about the new situation of Li Xu's manager." Xiao Cao said sitting diagonally across from Mr. Mao.

"Okay, I think this person has news for us when he comes here." Boss Mao put down the information in his hand.

"Just now, Li Xu's agent contacted his friends from the Didu Football Team. The reliable news is that Zhang Enhua's agent has already negotiated with the Didu Football Team about his personal treatment. It should be that Zhang Enhua's agent and Zhang Enhua will finally confirm the personal treatment after the game is over." Xiao Cao said softly.

"It's settled?" Mr. Mao was taken aback after hearing this.

"Yes, it must be settled." Xiao Cao said with certainty.

"Hehe..." Mr. Mao saw Xiao Cao's expression and knew he couldn't make a mistake, so he smiled helplessly.

"We estimate that Zhang Enhua and the others had reached an agreement with the Didu team last night, otherwise there would not be such a sudden offer today." Xiao Cao guessed.

"Well, we know that we are short of money, so it's in our arms. At other times, we will never let people go with the 6000 million." Mr. Mao leaned on the back of the sofa, feeling a little helpless.

"Yeah." Xiao Cao nodded in agreement.

"If it wasn't for Zhang Xu's timely joining, it would be a bit difficult for us. Obviously, we have to be drawn from the bottom of the pot, and we have to be drawn again." Mr. Mao said helplessly.

"However, the result is not bad." Xiao Cao said with a smile.

"Don't guess, that was also negotiated with the Shanghai team yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't have flew over in such a hurry." Mr. Mao glanced at Li Xu's manager outside the window.

"Hehe... I came here to inform you that Li Xu's manager is waiting for the final result." Xiao Cao said with a smile.

"We replied 8000 million one-time payment, and the installment is definitely not in line with our actual situation now. But since Zhang Enhua's transfer has been negotiated, we will definitely not agree to 6000 million. With Li Xu's current situation, we don't have to sell it at all. Don't worry, the sponsors will not have no money at the end of the year. I can rest assured that there is always warmth." Mao said affirmatively.

"Hehe... But, we haven't reported any transfer progress, and no one from Mr. Nuan has come to ask." Xiao Cao said with a smile.

"This is where Mr. Nuan is so good. If it was another club, would it give us so much room to maneuver?" Mr. Mao said with a smile.

"But we are under a lot of pressure, haha..." Xiao Cao said with a smile.

"There are advantages and disadvantages, but Mr. Nuan still has a responsible leader. You see, he won't do nothing." Mr. Mao said confidently.

Sure enough, when everyone couldn't figure out the reason why Nuan always ignored them, ten days later they received a notice from Governor Zhou to accompany several important business leaders in the province to watch the football at Mengxi Stadium.

At this time, everyone felt even more admiration for Mr. Nuan.Of course, many old employees of the Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Club feel that this situation is too normal. After all, they have followed Nuanzhong for many years and are used to Mr. Nuan's work style.

In this way, Mao Zong and Xiao Cao discussed the latest transfer progress, especially the transfer of wing forward Li Xu from Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club to the Shanghai Football Team, and the offer from defensive midfielder Zhang Ye.

Inside the box, the staff of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club were busy. On the balcony outside the box, Li Jinyu, the general manager of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club, and Li Xu’s manager were chatting and drinking water while observing the progress of the game inside.

"Piruk replaced Gotze in the second half, and the role of James was quite obvious." Li Xu's agent said.

"It's okay, the midfielder can really hold the ball now, but Ike's organization is really not satisfactory now." Li Jinyu said with emotion.

At this time, the passive situation of the Shengcheng football team has changed a lot because of the bold adjustment of the midfielder of the Shengcheng team coach Pi Luke.However, the team was still unable to switch from defense to offense. The ball quickly turned into a positional battle again when the ball reached Ike's feet.

When the Shengcheng team turned into a positional attack, because of Ike's retreat to support Zhang Jingyang, he was in the front, which meant that he lost a fulcrum.James' single center was double-teamed in front of him alone, and the effect was not so obvious.Therefore, the current offense has become a dilemma again. The Shengcheng team can hold the ball, but it is true that they cannot attack.Can attack, but can only be beaten passively, relying on long passes from the backcourt to play defensive counterattacks.

"The role of a star is not viewed in this way, hehe..." Li Xu's agent said with a smile.

Just when the two people were commenting on the situation of the scene, earth-shaking changes happened on the court.

The midfielder Shengcheng football team's foreign forward Ike took the ball again, and when he moved forward, he encountered two players from the Yanbian football team to double-team.In a hurry, Ike saw the gap and passed the ball directly to the foreign forward James. James was also followed by a Yanbian team defensive player to take care of him.

James stepped forward to meet the ball, but he didn't make any movement to stop the ball. He suddenly turned and accelerated in the direction of the football rolling.After getting rid of the defensive player, he swayed the ball with his foot. Seeing that there was no defense around him, he took a long shot.

Looking at the football again, it flew directly into the dead corner of the goal of the Yanbian football team like a shell. The goalkeeper of the Yanbian football team did not respond, just like all the fans in Mengxi Stadium.

A second later, "Wow..." The stands of Mengxi Stadium seemed to be blown up, shouting, shouting everywhere.

Then, in that familiar rhythm, James ran to the sidelines and waving his arms with the fans to celebrate passionately.The stands also responded with the most enthusiastic atmosphere, cheering for foreign aid forward James.

"Boom boom boom" "James!"

"Boom boom boom" "James!"

"Boom boom boom" "James!!"

"Boom boom boom" "James!"

"Boom boom boom" "James!"

. . . . . .

"Oh...that's amazing, your demeanor back then. Haha..." Li Xu's manager said with a smile, and at the same time stretched out his fist to Li Jinyu beside him to celebrate.

Li Jinyu punched his fists, and then said modestly: "I'm just a top striker in China, and I'm far behind other world football players. Hehe..."

"Hehe..." Li Xu's manager smiled, thought for a while and finally said, "If Gao Leilei of the Didu team hadn't made such a kick back then, you would have won the championship back then."

"Hey..." One sentence brought Li Jinyu back to the memory of almost 20 years ago.

"Don't say it, these days are really irresistible, and it has been almost 20 years. That kick also opened the way for the rise of the Shandong Dynasty." Li Xu's manager said again with emotion.

"Isn't it? If there is no such kick, maybe our province's football dynasty will be realized again." Li Jinyu also said helplessly.

"This is the charm of football. One ball and one foul may change many people's lives." Li Xu's agent said looking at the Shengcheng players who were celebrating wildly on the field.

"Hehe..." Li Jinyu smiled, his smiles were colorful and varied.After all, time will not turn back, so this time Li Jinyu does not want to let it go.

The goal was scored, and the players of the Shengcheng team finally felt that the burden on their bodies was finally lifted. At least the two-goal lead would no longer worry about any accidents.Looking at the players of the Yanbian team all lowered their heads and looked dumbfounded, they knew that the pressure had shifted now.

At this time, the substitute players and coaches on the bench of the Shengcheng team also got up and celebrated wildly at the moment of the goal.After all, the scene was indeed much worse than expected, and the unsatisfactory situation put a lot of pressure on the coaches.Just before the goal, the assistant coach of the Shengcheng team and the head coach Pi Luke were still discussing the adjustment countermeasures, but now with a goal, the countermeasures discussed just now do not need to be so anxious.

On the rostrum of Mengxi Stadium, the players who did not play also stood up and cheered. Although everyone did not play, the top domestic football league is getting closer and closer to them.

Hua Kite on the other box of Mengxi Stadium also became excited after scoring a goal, and jumped happily on Nuan Xiaoxi.Nuan Xiaoxi also hugged Hua Kite happily, while Xiao Sun, who had been working continuously at this time, looked at the situation in front of him, so he could only sit in the box, waiting for the sweet time of the two of them to pass.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.

This chapter is over.

Postscript (interlude, tidbits, extra episodes):

Before the half-time break of the match between Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club and Yanbian Football Team at home, the head coach of Shengcheng Football Team, Pi Luke, after arranging tactics in the Shengcheng Football Team’s lounge, walked in front of Shengcheng Football Team’s foreign aid forward James.

"What's the matter?" James raised his head and wiped his body while asking Piruk who came over.

"In the second half, I took more balls on the field. I was worried that after Ike couldn't organize, the midfielder wouldn't be able to control the ball." Pi Luke said to James.

"Ike's physical strength is not a big problem. I think there should be no problem with ball control." James glanced at Ike's position, and Ike had already gone out.

"Ike took on part of the organizational tasks in last year's game, but I think the team's style of play is different now, and we can't play around one person. So, I still have some concerns." Piluk directly said his thoughts.

"Well, indeed. But in the second half of the year, it will be much better to switch to Klinsmann. Then I can withdraw and organize. Haha..." James himself is very excited at the thought of being able to partner with Klinsmann.

I remember that when he played in Europe, James played against Klinsmann on the court.Although James was in his heyday at the time, the young Klinsmann left a deep impression on James.Therefore, James was full of praise for Klinsmann in the post-match interview, and Klinsmann did not disappoint James in the end. Two consecutive World Footballer of the Year became popular all over the world.

"We can't count on Klinsmann in this game, I have to count on you." Piluk said with a smile.After all, the current scene is so passive that Piruk has no time to fantasize about the future games. The pressure is indeed a little bit higher now, especially the next game is an away game against the top Hangzhou team in the league.

"Don't worry, I will strengthen the retreat. It's only half court, and the next ball will not be missed. Besides, the current fight is not as fierce as that in Europe. I can handle it." James said confidently.It is true that James also has the capital of self-confidence, because many strong English teams lined up to give James a contract, but James himself was persuaded by his agent Ting, and he wanted to experience a different culture and life while he was young.

"Yes, yes. I know, I believe you." Piruk nodded accordingly.

"If the scene is passive in the second half, I will also strengthen my long-range shooting style. After all, Zhang Quecho can support an offensive point." After James finished speaking, he gestured to Zhang Jingyang and leaned over.

Zhang Jingyang saw James' call and walked over.

"In the second half, I will be followed by a few defenders, and you will also keep an eye on them. I will stand in the middle, and you will find a gap to run in between, and let Ike or the backcourt play behind you." James instructed Zhang Jingyang with the cooperation of the translator.

"Yesi, hey." Zhang Jingyang nodded after listening.

"You have good speed, you must rush forward and don't think about the future. Our immediate task is to win this game, do you know?" James patted Zhang Jingyang on the shoulder and asked.

"Yesi, hey." Zhang Jingyang nodded after listening.

"If you fall into a positional battle, you must go to the side. If we are beaten there, you should go there, you know?" Piluke also instructed Zhang Jingyang's tactical details, although this is something that has been mentioned on the tactical board just now.

"Don't worry." Zhang Jingyang gestured an OK gesture to Pi Luke.

"Yang Xu, I think if there is a draw in the future, Yang Xu can take the lead. What do you think?" James suggested to Pi Luke without hesitation.

"Let's see. Let's see if it's Chen Lei or Yang Xu." Piluk hesitated for a while. After all, Piluk obviously felt that as long as Gotze's state is not good, the Shengcheng team's midfield organization will not be in place.

When he heard yesterday that Wang Song could arrive early in the summer, Pi Luke was also a little excited.

In this way, Pi Luke repeated the details with several other key players until the end of the intermission.
