The game was over, not because of the discussion of scoring a goal, but after eleven Jianlibao tried their last strength, they held on for thirteen minutes before it ended.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, all the Jianlibao players, including Ou Chuliang, collapsed in place, gasping for air.

On the bench, players who had played and who had not played rushed onto the pitch one by one, running to their teammates who were already cramping and helping them stretch and recover.

Thousands of São Paulo residents watched the scene around the stadium, bewildered and unsure of what to do with the outcome.

Just like their compatriots at the Maracanã Stadium more than forty years ago.

What can be said?

The entire match was controlled by the Sao Paulo players, who took 25 shots on goal.

But none of these 25 shots completely penetrated Jianlibao's net, and their scores naturally stayed primitive.

Jianlibao's shots were only pitiful three times, and the only one that hit the goal frame was a goal.

When also? Fate?

Who can say for sure?

The unpredictable beauty of football was vividly displayed at this moment, and even Zou Xiaoqing was deeply infected. Stepping on a pair of flat cloth shoes, he ran into the court with the Jianlibao substitutes and celebrated with the fighters on the field.

"Paulinho, you should have shot straight at the goal!"

"Bastard, why didn't you pass the ball to me that time in the first half?"

"Júnior, you're too lonely, you should create more chances with passing!"

"Bill, what are you talking about? If you don't always like to plug it in, why do you miss people? ”

Looking at the Jianlibao members who were tired and paralyzed on the ground, the São Paulo players couldn't attribute the victory to their opponents.

They believe that it was the lack or mistake of one of their teammates that led to the defeat of the game.

There was a lot of arguing, and several team members even pushed and shoved.

On his home turf, in front of his home fans, a collective farce was staged.

"Look, Brazilians are people, too. If they don't play well, they will blame each other! ”

"Hahaha, I thought Brazilians were united! I didn't expect it to be the lord of the earth! ”

The Jianlibao players on the turf are like watching a movie, watching the Sao Paulo players on the opposite side stage a life drama.

"Hahahaha..."

Hearty laughter rang out over the São Paulo stadium, and it was the first time they had been so relaxed since they came to Brazil for almost half a month.

......

On the bus back, the players were physically exhausted, but mentally excited.

"Unity is strength!

This power is iron,

This power is steel.

Harder than iron,

Stronger than steel!! ”

Under the leadership of Zhang Ran, everyone sang and laughed at the same time. The joyful singing spread through the streets of São Paulo.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!" After singing a song, Zhang Ran stood in front of the car, "Let's let our little goal hero discuss and talk about a few words!" ”

"Yes, two sentences, two sentences!"

Under the coaxing of everyone, the red-faced discussion was pushed to Zhang Ran's side.

After Zhang Ran handed the notebook rolled into a trumpet shape to the discussion, he sat on the side, looking at the discussion with envy written on his face.

This is Jianlibao's first goal in the "conquest" of Brazil, and it was scored by this kid who discussed it. Of the 22 Jianlibao members present, except for Ou Chuliang and Li Jian, the two goalkeepers, everyone was envious.

"Uh... Well... I, I, I was able to score this time, and the most, first of all, I would like to thank Coach Zhu, Coach Li, and Coach Liu. Also, there's Coach Pascal. ”

"Of course, and then, there's the European team, yes, encouragement to me, encouragement..."

"I... I... I..."

Speaking of which, the discussion could not go on any longer. A pretty face was flushed, the two legs that were close together kept rubbing, and the left hand behind the back was already full of cold sweat.

Raising his eyes, he was greeted by a car of longing eyes, and he subconsciously looked at Ou Chuliang with nervous discussion.

Seeing the eyes of the discussion for help, Ou Chuliang chuckled, stood up and came to the front of the car.

"Thank you very much for the speech of our Xiao Xiao Hero, as the captain, I want to sing a song here and send it to our hero!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"Sing, sing!"

Hearing that Ou Chuliang was going to sing solo, the atmosphere in the car came to the boiling point again.

He handed the "little trumpet" in his hand to Ou Chuliang, and subconsciously hid behind him.

"Ahem, cough, let's sing a new song from Zhou Huajian this year."

Hearing Ou Chuliang's announcement, the players in the car gradually quieted down.

"In my heart, there was a dream.

Use your singing voice to make you forget all the pain. ”

As soon as Ou Chuliang spoke, Zou Xiaoqing and Brother Liu pricked up their ears. This song is "True Hero" released by Zhou Huajian, Jackie Chan and others this summer.

Ou Chuliang used his bright timbre and magnetic voice to conquer everyone on the bus at once.

At first, everyone was listening; When it was the second time they sang, Zhang Xiaorui, Li Jinyu and others also began to sing along.

"Grasp every touch in life,

Warm embrace with your beloved friends.

Let the words of sincerity, and the tears of joy,

Flowing in your and my hearts! ”

"Let sincere words and happy tears flow in your heart !! me"

"!!Oooo

In the midst of the noise, Zou Xiaoqing once again had tears in his eyes.

The journey of Jianlibao in Brazil has left an indelible mark on her young life.

Many years later, whenever Zou Xiaoqing recalls this day, he remembers it vividly.

When passing by a street intersection, Zou Xiaoqing and Brother Liu got out of the car with their equipment and said goodbye to the members of Jianlibao.

A few hours later, Zou Xiaoqing's heart still couldn't be calm.

A long time has passed since the day's game, and from time to time in her mind, the figure of Ou Chuliang saved, the figure of discussing the ball, the figure of other members of Jianlibao running hard, and the singing on the bus on the return trip.

Even if the opponent is so strong and the strength of one's own side is so weak, everyone still holds a belief in victory from beginning to end, and implements it to the end.

Make unremitting efforts, fight to the end, and never admit defeat!

What a great spirit!

Why is it on this little football?

And is there something else hidden behind this little football that she doesn't know?

Thinking of this, Zou Xiaoqing's heart itched even more.

"Brother Liu, does our country have a professional football league?"

"Absolutely!" Brother Liu, who was sitting on the side, immediately sat up straight as soon as he heard this, "At the beginning of this year, our Football Association arranged eight teams as a pilot for AA, and competed home and away in eight stadiums in six cities and one town in Guangdong Province to prepare for next year's AA." ”

"This tournament is like those developed countries in Europe, where every team goes home and away in a car."

"And it is the first time that our football community has combined the advanced methods of international football with the actual national conditions, such as the arrangement of the number of games and the dispatch of referees, which are different from the past practices."

"How did it turn out?" Zou Xiaoqing was also interested when he heard it.

"The result is that after forty games, Liaoning Dongyao won the championship."

"Liaoning East Medicine? Is Ou Chuliang from Liaoning? ”

"That's right! Li Tie and Li Jinyu are also from Liaozu. Brother Liu said with a smile, "Liaoning is a big football province, and various clubs in Liaozu, Dalian, and Shenyang have many international players. ”

"So how did the trial go? Success? ”

"Not very successful." Brother Liu shook his head and took out a notebook from his arms, "I have a copy of the statistics of "Football" here, the ticket revenue of this game is a total of 439,700 yuan, the average income per game is about 10,993 yuan, and the title and advertising fees of each stadium are 475,000 yuan. ”

"But it's very little evenly distributed to each team."

"According to the previous regulations, each team participates at its own expense, and the ticket revenue is shared. 40% of the ticket revenue from each match goes to the stadium, 40% goes to the participating teams (28% of the winning team, 12% of the losing team), and the other 20% goes to the Chinese Football Association, the Guangdong Football Association and the Guangzhou Football Association. ”

"But after the tax deduction, the actual income of each team is too low, in order to mobilize enthusiasm, Vice Chairman Xu of the Football Association decided to pay 20% of the income after deducting the normal expenses of training and games, leaving 110,000 yuan to the Guangdong and Guangzhou Football Associations as a youth football development fund, and the rest of all the funds will be distributed to the participating teams and partially subsidized to the stadium."

In this way, the club teams divided an average of 22,000 yuan. This money, combined with the original income, after deducting the accommodation and travel expenses, each team has a little surplus. ”

"Wow! I didn't expect it to be so hard! Zou Xiaoqing couldn't help but shake his head and sigh after hearing Brother Liu's report, "Why is there only this income?" Is it because there is a small audience? ”

"You're right." When Brother Liu said this, he was also a little regretful, "According to statistics, the total number of spectators in all performances is only 76,500, and the average number of people per performance is about 1,913. I remember that a Guangdong newspaper reported that when Yuan Weimin, Li Tieying and Vice Chairman Xu went to the Foshan Stadium to watch the game, there were only a dozen spectators at the scene. ”

"It's a big football field, just the players, the referees, the coaches on the sidelines, the substitutes, the chairman and the entourage."

"Then, if it goes on like this, next year's A A..."

"Do it right!" Brother Liu quickly affirmed.

"Why?" Zou Xiaoqing looked curious.

"Because Vice Chairman Xu said that football will also spark the prairies."

Speaking of this, Brother Liu's eyebrows rose and his eyes flickered.

Looking at Brother Liu, who was in a momentary trance, Zou Xiaoqing took out a roll of film from his arms. The film was wrapped in a white piece of medical tape, and the words "Ou Chuliang" were written on the tape.

"Brother Liu, I've decided!"

"What did you decide?"

"Brother Liu, when I go back, I will tell the president that I want to be a football reporter!"
