"Bang!" the red soccer ball was knocked away with great force, and floated diagonally in a swaying arc.

Seeing the target shift, the players who were chasing the ball changed direction one after another, shouting and chasing after them.

Looking down from above, the eight players look like fine iron sand being carried away by a magnetic field, and only two goalkeepers can resist the attraction slightly.

In fact, the latter is also paying attention to the position and direction of the football, and whenever he sees any signs of approaching the penalty area, he will suddenly tear off his camouflage, jump vigorously, open his huge claws, pop out the net, spit out gas, and try his best to intercept the ball with his unique skills.

Ordinary people naturally don't have these "tricks", and they can do these things only because they are machines and non-humans. If you look closely, you will find that they have different shapes, are less than a meter tall, and their body proportions are not the same as those of ordinary humans, and they are the "dwarf" modular robots made by bee digital creatures.

Due to the cost, the dwarfs do not have the ability to move independently, and need someone to watch and control the remote control, and the teenager and girl holding the remote control in the side bar of the stand are the real controllers of them. Unable to play in person, this group of children is still fully engaged and focused, keeping their eyes glued to the court, clenching the handles with both hands, and constantly changing instructions according to the form of the field.

Today, the "Bee Cup Children's Robot Football Match" has been held for the fourth time, although there is still a big gap from the old competitions such as RoboCon, but it has also accumulated a group of its own fans, no longer the self-entertainment of the bee schools around the world, and the two teams that appeared on the sidelines at this moment are from the next city.

After three years of improvement and research, the robot's passing success rate, shooting success rate, and the tactical ability to control the team members have been greatly improved, coupled with the "Yan Yi" performance of the small team members, the game is not what it used to be, and each live broadcast of the game can attract more than 100,000 viewers, and the number of focus sessions is more.

However, it is more about the object, and in the eyes of those who are used to watching professional games, especially various top leagues, this robot football game is still a child's play, full of unreliable and unprofessional places.

As soon as they approached the rostrum, Atletico Madrid heard the sound of complaining that the game was too childish and the stadium was too simple, and it was obvious that the people inside were already in a hurry.

The turf part of the bee stadium is more professional, and the live video broadcast is quite advanced, but the other configuration is a bit shabby. There is no VIP box in the stadium, and there is only an extra shelter on the rostrum, and the seats are better, so the conditions are naturally not comparable with the professional stadium box for sitting on the sofa, drinking red wine, and watching TV.

deliberately increased his pace, first let the inside know that someone was coming, and then Atletico raised his feet and walked over, opened his mouth and said: "I'm sorry, I'm late!"

Hearing this, the two of them who were chatting hurriedly stood up, "It's okay! It's early for us, just in time to watch the children's game!"

After this section, Atletico Madrid's old acquaintance, Chief Jia from the Ludao Sports Bureau, introduced the two of them, "I don't need much Ma Dong, this face is a business card, and this is Mo Yu from the Football Association League Council." ”

Because officials have been criticized for managing the ball, the Football Association, as the football management center of the Sports Bureau, has finally begun a new round of reform, preparing to establish a new professional football league, and at the same time reorganizing and establishing more than a dozen professional committees. In this case, the league council in charge of league affairs sent someone to find Atletico Madrid, naturally not to inspect this robot football game that is not under their control, and the latter did not intend to ask questions about their feelings in a boring way, shook hands and said hello, and then found a seat and sat down.

This year's second division has come to an end, with Atletico Madrid's de facto control of the Bees and Capenel both qualifying for the next division. But his next performance was confusing, he first put the Kaipeng team on the shelves according to the previous plan to announce that he was looking for buyers, and then under the pretext that the players still had to go to school, he informed the Football Association League Committee that he would give up the promotion qualification of the Bees team, and put on a posture of staying in the second division.

This matter has not been announced to the public for the time being, Mo Yu came to lobby him for this trip, professional football is a money-burning game, the more local tyrant bosses like Atletico Madrid, the better, how can he be pushed out?

In order to increase the success rate, he also specially pulled the Egret Island Sports Bureau as an ally, although the latter was scolded as a dog by local fans for not supporting professional football, but he was also happy to see the promotion of the bees, after all, the rise of a new professional team from scratch is also a political achievement.

It's a pity that their ideas are still a little taken for granted.

The place on the rostrum is relatively spacious, and as soon as people sit down, their feet naturally stretch out, and then the purple basketball shoes under Atletico's feet can no longer be hidden. The two of them glanced at each other, and they both knew that there might be something wrong with today's work. Because of the shoe taking off incident a few days ago, the notoriety of this disliked shoe has increased significantly, and they have heard of it as insiders, and Atletico must have a deep meaning behind wearing these shoes to go out.

Afraid of something, after a little greeting, Atletico Madrid put the topic on the shoes, "Everyone knows, I'm not a basketball fan, I don't know how many games a year in the NBA, these shoes are actually forced to me by my wife, she said that this is the same style as a superstar, very memorable." ”

"Commemorate an egg!" Mo You was secretly annoyed in his heart and just wanted to lift the table and walk without playing, thinking of the task he shouldered, but he couldn't help it, and explained softly: "Actually, everyone has done nothing wrong in this matter, league sponsors, individual sponsors, players, and the Basketball Association, everyone is safeguarding the interests of their own representatives, and it is right." The only thing that goes wrong is the lack of effective communication. ”

Atletico Madrid pursed his lips and slandered in his heart, "The Basketball Association has communicated the problem of good shoes for 12 years, and the professional league has been established for a year and a half, and there is no one word, you are really a family!"

The sale of the league's designated shoes actually began in 2004, when it was stipulated that local players must wear sponsor shoes. At the same time, sneakers from other manufacturers can also appear on the field through "payment exemption", foreign aid, injury certificates, etc., the latter two ways need to cover the trademark with adhesive tape, and the first one is not, which is jokingly called "buying shoes".

When LN smashed 2 billion to contract for 5 seasons, they still retained these special places to monopolize the sponsorship of league sneakers, but they reduced the number and increased the unit price, and the intention of constantly tightening to drive away competitors is very obvious. Nike is not muddy, and the national team has the right to sponsor the first frenzy, and the two sides have successively closed the "paid exemption" non-labeling policy, and now even the policy of specially approved labeling has been terminated by each other, and then there was a shoe taking off incident.

LN wielded the sword of exclusive rights, but was depressed to find that the sword had a double blade to hurt others and harm himself, and the 2 billion big sponsorship was really wronged, and the money earned in 5 years was not enough to pay the sponsorship fee, and he was completely eating the old capital.

This is also what Atletico Madrid meant, these shoes are his attitude card, kicking his feet, Atletico Madrid complained: "Do those people have holes in their heads? Aren't they learning the NBA comprehensively, why do they do any special micro-innovations?"

Seeing the disdain on the corner of his mouth, Mo You hurriedly explained: "They have no choice but to do this, after all, only if the league's income is high, the financial situation of each club, especially small and medium-sized clubs, will be returned." You know, not every club has a big boss like you. ”

"I still can't play with it," Atletico smiled, "others spend the money of shareholders, but I spend my own money." ”

The stock market is someone else's territory, and it has nothing to do with the Football Association, so Mo You and Jaco are naturally reluctant to talk about it. The latter stretched out his fat hand, pointed to the court below and said, "Ma Dong, you are humble in what you say, we have seen the investment of the bee team in the past few years." Not to mention the First Division, the home turf of many Super League teams is not as good as it is here. ”

"That's because they play a lot and it takes time for the turf to grow. ”

Seeing that the other party was dead or alive, Chief Jia was also a little annoyed, and directly threw out his purpose, "The bees really don't plan to upgrade? ”

"There's also the right to broadcast live from the First Division," Mo added, "and the association can also help with the coordination, and I'm sure the other company will be happy to share it." ”

Under the operation of Uncle Li, the Chinese Super League sold the sky-high copyright of 8 billion yuan for 5 years, and the copyright of the First Division League also rose to the top, and the copyright distribution company took the opportunity to raise the price and planned to make a big profit, but it was withdrawn by the market and suffered from the abandonment of satellite TV. If Bee Film and Television were to buy the right to broadcast online, they would naturally not be able to ask for it. Title sponsorship of the football team, Bee's income is reflected in the sales of "Crazy Football" game and the number of views of event-related videos, and it will look more professional if it is replaced by a more professional and famous First Division, and the bee's harvest should be greater.

Atletico shook their heads, "There is no promotion plan for the time being, most of these players are still in school, there are few games in the second division, the schedule is short, they still have time to continue their studies, if the team is promoted, they will have to drop out." ”

"The only college team to compete in the professional league", this is also a characteristic label of the bee team, and now the first batch of players have reached their junior year, although Alliston College is an independent college that gives money to attend, and graduates can also get the red book of Lu University, so why should he be a villain and let everyone give up halfway?

"The second division is also expanding, and the competition will become more and more intensive in the future," Mo You tried again: "Actually, you can also consider merging, let the bees and Kaipeng merge, so that you have two teams of different levels, and you can participate in the competition of the first and second levels respectively." ”

It is a common practice in football circles to let the second team participate in the actual combat training of the lower leagues, as long as the team is strong enough and can afford to spend money, it is completely possible to do so. Although football is to be de-administrative, but the reform has not yet been completed, people are still the department with real power at the level, and Atletico Madrid does not want to completely mess with them, and the merger seems to be a good choice.

The merger will lose a promotion spot, but the bees didn't plan to keep that spot in the first place, so it's not too much of a loss. Kaipeng's quota was said to be sold, but unfortunately there were not many bosses who came to inquire about the price, and the price was not very high. It is not a simple matter for the team to move or register a new home stadium, and people naturally have to investigate and take care of it carefully.

In the face of this situation, Atletico Madrid also regretted a little, secretly complaining that they were too greedy and seeking perfection at the beginning, and the way should be softer.

Bees are naturally involved in the football field for money, but the way to make money is different from other companies, and manufacturers who are engaged in real estate sales and electrical appliances spend money to build star teams, in order to spread the brand with the help of the team's high exposure, so as to achieve the purpose of disguised advertising. Bees, on the other hand, use soccer to polish their technology, promote their products, and then recoup their investment through soccer games, robots, and VR products.

There is no doubt that whether it is polishing technology, attracting popularity, or promoting products, the level of the senior league is stronger than that of the lower divisions, and the first division sounds good, right?

There was some emotion in his heart, but he didn't let go immediately, but changed a new reason, "Let me think about it again, if you plan to merge, you have to plan well, otherwise the first team will be beaten back to its original shape soon if the results are not satisfactory, and it will be even more embarrassing." ”

Moyu Jako had a smile on his face, and he just had to loosen his mouth so that they could go back and make a deal. As for what will happen in the future, that's what the big heads above should worry about.

The two of them were in a good mood, the atmosphere here on the rostrum was also better, and the robot battle off the field became interesting.

"The reason why we invited you here is because we have just finished a new product, and we are going to invite professionals to help us identify it." ”

"Oh, what kind of new technology, you have a lot of black technology in your hands!" said Section Chief Jia with a smile.

"It's not a black technology, it's just some application technology," Atletico said casually and modestly, pointing to a corner of the field, "Everyone, pay attention, that is our panoramic live broadcast mobile platform." ”

The other two had actually noticed the robot for a long time, and the other robots were dwarfs with two legs and two hands, but this one was an arrogant monster truck shape, with a large ball decorated with cameras on the roof, not to mention how weird it looked.

"The choice of the on-board platform is naturally due to the maturity of the technology and low internal friction," Atletico said, "The round head on its head is the third generation of the gem ball panoramic camera developed by us, which adds infrared lidar and has the ability to scan the shape simultaneously." ”

Limited to the field factors, the game broadcast equipment can only be placed in the stands, with the help of telephoto lenses and rocker arms to achieve full-court tracking, which also brings the problem of equipment specialization and large-scale. In contrast, most panoramic cameras do not have a telephoto and a swingarm, and the effect is naturally much worse if they continue to be placed on the sidelines.

This mobile platform is a new attempt by the bees, allowing the camera to get up close and personal with the referee, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to drive the referee off the field. As for whether it will succeed or not, we have to wait and see.
