At the time of the Sino-Japanese crisis on Temple Street, Wang Hengyue, the president of the Republic of China, was receiving a group that had returned with honors:

Chinese Football Training Team!

In 1919, the 4th Far Eastern Games were held in Manila, the capital of the Philippines. The Chinese football team representing China won the football championship of the Far Eastern Games for the third time in a row.

When Wang Hengyue learned the news, he was a little dumbfounded.

How did China ever dominate the Far East? Also, three consecutive championships in the Far Eastern Games?

That sounds a little weird.

If you ask carefully, it turns out that the Far Eastern Games are initiated by China, Japan, and the Philippines, and are held in major cities in the Far East every other year. So far, it has been held three times, and is lobbying Siam, Singapore, India and other countries to participate.

"Okay, okay, we in China have also been the hegemon of Far Eastern football." Wang Hengyue burst out with a smile.

The president of the Republic of China is a standard fan, and he is extremely obsessed with football and basketball. But when you come to this era, where do you go to see these projects?

When he happened to hear that the Chinese football team had won three consecutive championships, Wang Hengyue couldn't wait to meet the delegation of the Far Eastern Games of the Republic of China.

This decision is a bit inexplicable.

Acting Premier Wang Qinglu was originally reporting the situation to the president, but the president suddenly came to such a scene and scratched his head: "This, I have heard of football, but what is football?" ”

"Twenty-two people kicking around a ball." Wang Hengyue said this, and saw that Wang Qinglu kept looking at the document in his hand while listening, so he simply snatched it over, put the document aside, and talked to him with great interest.

Wang Qinglu couldn't cry or laugh, this Japan has already challenged the Chinese Navy, but this great president is good, he doesn't care about this big thing, but discusses with himself what football is?

The more Wang Hengyue spoke, the more excited he became, and the louder his voice became, and later, the guards outside were also a little curious, what words "offense and defense" kept coming from inside, what were the presidents and the prime minister talking about? Where are you ready to attack, where is the defense?

Good guys, it looks like the big president is going to be ready for war again.

A football topic, Wang Hengyue talked about it for half an hour. Finally, he stood up: "Let's go, let's see those athletes!" ”

"But how to deal with the situation in Temple Street?" Wang Qinglu hesitated.

"A few flies flying around, leave them alone." Wang Hengyue waved his hand, and it didn't seem to take the Japanese in his eyes at all: "No matter how hard the flies flutter, with a slap, they can be beaten to pieces." If the Japanese want to make trouble, let them make trouble. They want to threaten with force, we will fight-for-tat, they can't turn the sky! ”

Don't say anything, take Wang Qinglu and leave......

The athletes who came back from Manila, Philippines, never dreamed that as soon as they got off the ship, they would be notified that a big man was going to meet them.

And what they didn't expect was that this big man turned out to be the president of the Republic of China!

In the past, the country was constantly in turmoil, and everyone was thinking about how to fight the war and how to get more rights, who would pay attention to these athletes?

Running, boxing and the like are still known, but football and basketball are very few in China who know how to play!

But now, the president of the Republic of China actually met them in person, and at that moment, the excitement in the hearts of these athletes cannot be described in words!

Tang Fuxiang, the meritorious captain of the three-time champion team of the Chinese football team, and all the team members, the head coach of the Chinese basketball team, John Ma, the captain Huang Renrang, and other team members were received by Wang Hengyue, President of the Republic of China, and Wang Qinglu, Premier of the People's Republic of China.

"Okay, very good." Wang Hengyue let the restrained team members sit down, and the word "good" was repeated in one mouth: "Winning the championship is very remarkable, and it is even more remarkable to win three consecutive championships in one breath." Just take this as the foundation, do it well, and we will win the championship next time! ”

The president's kind words gradually eliminated the restraint and tension of the team members.

Wang Hengyue suddenly asked, "What formation are you playing?" ”…,

Formation? What formations? Tang Fuxiang and his teammates were a little baffled.

Wang Hengyue suddenly realized, at this time, he went to ask the players what the formation was doing? Now football is the same all over the world, everyone swarms up and kicks and leaves! Yuji also often has nine strikers.

"No formation, no way." Wang Hengyue thought for a while: "Modern football was invented by the British, industry, the British are ahead of us, but now football is **, we have to walk in front of the British." What is Formation? It's the eleven people on the football field, except for the goalkeeper, everyone else has to do their job. Score as a defender, as a midfielder, as a striker..."

Wang Hengyue gushed endlessly, and said all his knowledge and ideas about football. What "four-three-three", "three-four-three" formation, what set of edges, mutual response and so on.

All the team members were dumbfounded and speechless.

There are so many ways in football? What is even more unimaginable is that the president is so proficient in football and knows so many "advanced concepts" that they have never heard of.

"South America has started to host the first South American Football Championship, and I think we can also form several football teams and set up the Chinese Football Championship." Wang Hengyue said with great interest: "In terms of funding, I will take over the bag for the first two years to help you get started, what about the future?" When the event has an impact, you can form a club, attract those owners to invest, sponsor, and make football professional. ”

These words are simply unheard of.

Career path? These athletes all have their own jobs, some are company employees, some are dock workers, some are school students, but they all formed this football team together because of their hobbies. But listening to the meaning of the president's words, can you still get paid for playing football?

Wang Hengyue knew that his concept sounded a little shocking in this era, but this path would soon begin in the world.

As a person from another time and space, I should do it in advance, which can be regarded as some contributions to China's sports industry.

This time, the Chinese football team won the championship in the Far Eastern Games, but the Chinese basketball team won nothing, and it couldn't help but feel a little unable to raise its head in front of the president.

Wang Hengyue had also discovered this, and he said without caring at all: "It's nothing, playing doesn't have to be a championship to be honorable." Of course, it's good to win the championship, but no one can blame you if you don't win it. ”

Speaking of which, the big president is a "point guard", "scoring guard", "power forward", "small forward", and "center", which also made these basketball players dumbfounded.

Is the president not only a good commander in military affairs, but also a wizard in sports? Actually put forward so many "advanced concepts" in football and basketball in one go?

In fact, in Wang Hengyue's time, people who knew a little bit about sports were just basic common sense, but now, this has become a "reform" that is decades ahead of this era!

If we follow Wang Hengyue's line of thought, China's military strength may not be able to dominate the world, but football and basketball are bound to "seek defeat alone" all over the world!

Wang Qinglu listened to it on the side, and also became a little interested in sports, but his heart was also funny. This great president is really full of energy, and he has to carry out military and political reforms, and he has to deal with Japan and Russia, and now he is actually taking charge of the sports industry again.

At the moment, Japan is ready to take action at Temple Street, but why doesn't the president seem to be worried at all?

Is he simply looking down on Japan, or is he already confident?

Wang Hengyue was still talking, and continued to say there: "I think you can prepare first, get a few football teams and basketball teams, and after half a year, gather in Nanjing to hold the first Chinese Football Championship and Chinese Basketball Championship!" ”

The team members all had excitement on their faces.

"In the first two sessions, we held a centralized system, and then we will disperse to various cities, and strive to have our own teams in major cities within three years." Wang Hengyue continued; "Our sports undertaking starts here, and we must not delay China's sports undertaking because of war. When everyone else is a few hundred meters ahead of us, we can catch up, which will be very difficult. ”…,

The players nodded frequently, and the head coach of the basketball team, John Ma, couldn't help but say; "Mr. President, I have been in China for many years, and this is the first time that the Chinese government has the political authority to attach so much importance to sports. No, it's the same all over the world. Everyone is looking at how many battleships there are and how many aircraft and cannons the country has, but I admire the fact that the president can attach so much importance to sports in addition to his busy schedule. ”

"Battleships must be bought, aircraft and artillery must be bought, but sports must be engaged." Wang Hengyue groaned and said; "I don't need my country to be a champion power, give me as many championships as I want, but I have to make my country a sports power!"

Everyone doesn't quite understand, isn't it a big sports country if you win more championships?

"How many championships and gold medals you win has little to do with whether this country is a big sports country or not." Wang Hengyue seemed to see everyone's doubts, and patiently explained:

"A real sports country is built on the basis of national fitness, no matter how many championships and gold medals you win, you can't improve the sports quality of the whole people, which is also a failure."

The news that the President of the Republic of China personally met with the members of the delegation to the Far Eastern Games of China was also quickly published in major newspapers.

The situation in Temple Street is so tense, the president of the Republic of China, instead of expressing any opinions, has shifted the rise to sports, and no one knows what the president has in his heart! ）
