Although it is the weekend today, Chen Youwei still has no way to accompany his wife and children who come from afar.

Next year is the official match of the final stage of the World Cup Qualifiers, and Liaobei, as a veteran football base in China, naturally wants to use the Spring City Jiulihe Stadium as the home of the Chinese football team.

Chen Youwei was a true football fan in another life, and unlike his fellow mercenaries who were obsessed with alcohol, gambling and even drugs, watching a lively football game was an excellent way for him to fully release the stress in his heart.

The football level of Huaxia in this life is as good as in another life, which has always made the Chinese people criticize, and I don't know how many so-called black three minutes there are in the road, which can stimulate the fans with good psychological quality to the point of cardiac arrest.

Compared with the high-minded image of sports as a matter of national dignity when the country was first opened, as the Chinese people have more and more reasons to have fun, at least people's attitudes towards football are not as paranoid as before.

Even so, in the 90s, Chinese football was still the first sport that could affect hundreds of millions of people.

Zhilu Dao Liaobei intends to apply for Jiulihe Stadium as the home of the Chinese national team, and Chen Youwei showed great enthusiasm at the first time.

Chen Youwei, who is good at running the city, is no longer looking at this matter from the perspective of an ordinary fan, compared with the cities in the developed areas of the south, Spring City, which people have the impression that it is more of a thick and bulky industrial production base, is dirty everywhere. If the qualifiers for Huaxia Football to enter the finals of the 98 World Cup can be successfully set in Chuncheng, Chen Youwei can fully imagine the gratifying scene of Chuncheng's name all over the country.

It is precisely because of this consideration that knowing that it is rare for Lu Dao's daughter-in-law and children to visit him from the capital, Chen Youwei still decided to get the inspection team of the State General Administration of Sports to deal with it first.

In the morning, Chen Youwei accompanied the inspection team of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China and visited the newly built Jiulihe Stadium near the suburbs.

Under normal circumstances, the inspection team within the Football Association can finalize a similar plan, and this time the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China will personally go out, which shows the importance that Huaxia attaches to the World Cup qualifiers.

In the past few years, there have been difficulties in the operation of state-owned enterprises, but the overall economy has not been greatly impacted, after all, it is a provincial capital city with a deep heritage, and sufficient financial support has made the Jiulihe Comprehensive Stadium, which can accommodate more than 80,000 people, be completed on schedule.

The construction of Jiulihe Stadium was originally just a decision made for Liaobei to apply for the National Games, but I didn't expect the National Games application to fail, but it was just in time for the holding of the World Lujie Cup Qualifiers.

It is precisely with such a modern professional venue as Jiulihe Stadium, which is currently the largest and most advanced in China, that Spring City has this great confidence in bidding.

Accompanied by Chen Youwei, the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China inspected around the Jiulihe Stadium, and almost without too much introduction, the grand scene and brand-new facilities in front of them were enough to make everyone's eyes shine.

Shen Fang, deputy director of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, who led the team, nodded from time to time, and said to Chen Youwei beside him with a slight sigh: "Spring City is worthy of a good atmosphere with decades of football heritage, and with such a modern stadium, this is even more powerful!" ”

Chen Youwei said with a smile: "If you can make some contributions to the soldiers of the national team, it will be better!" ”

Shen Fang laughed softly: "Your preparations in Spring City are obviously very sufficient, although I don't dare to pack tickets with you, but judging from the several places that have been inspected so far, the conditions of your venue are higher in all aspects." ”

"Thank you Director Shen for the compliment!" Chen Youwei nodded knowingly, looked at Shen Fang and smiled.

The Chen family doesn't pay much attention to such a relatively isolated department as the State General Administration of Sports, but after the marriage of the Chen and Xiao families, the Chen family's influence is now becoming more and more far-reaching.

Shen Fang, who is in his fifties, is Hu Xiaosong's uncle, Chen Youwei had a relationship with him at Hu Xiaosong's wedding, and now at the critical moment when Spring City intends to apply to hold the World Cup Qualifiers, Chen Youwei will naturally not easily give up such a convenient condition.

Shen Fang is naturally no stranger to the Chen family's most outstanding third-generation leader, and for officials of their level, many things are not as complicated as outsiders imagine. It's just a polite greeting in public, but in fact, both parties have already understood that they can determine a lot of things.

"Director Shen, next year's qualifying situation is not bad, I hope our Jiulihe Stadium can bring good luck to the national team!"

The formal inspection ended quickly, and Chen Youwei took the inspection team to the VIP lounge of the stadium to rest, tasting the fragrant tea, and said with a smile.

"Mayor Chen seems to know a lot about football?"

Shen Fang was a little surprised, in his eyes, this young young Zhuang faction who was famous for engaging in economics didn't have much free time at all.

The other members of the investigation team were accompanied by relevant personnel from Spring City, whispering in groups of three or five with relaxed expressions.

Chen Youwei's jokes with Shen Fang are also normal, at least they don't make people have too many associations.

"I don't dare to understand, but I also pay attention to it in my spare time."

Chen Youwei handed Shen Fang a cigarette, and he also lit a smile himself: "This qualifier group is actually very powerful for us, avoiding South Korea and Japan, which have the same style as us and have a poor record, and the same group is still a team with medium strength in West Asia, which should be a good thing for us." ”

Shen Fang nodded, a look of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he nodded: "Yes, to be able to have such a situation, our national team does have a very good chance of qualifying." ”

"But, to be honest, I don't dare to be optimistic about the future of the national team!" Chen Youwei took a small sip of his cigarette and puffed out the curling green smoke, and said with a sigh.

Shen Fang's eyes froze, and the other party's argument made his heart sink.

If ordinary fans said this, maybe Shen Fang just laughed, but the same words came out of the mouth of this young department-level official, but it had to make Shen Fang cheer up and listen.

Chen Youwei, who is in another life, doesn't know much about Chinese football, and he pays more attention to the more developed leagues of European football. The only thing that impressed Chen Youwei was that at the beginning of the century, the World Cup Huaxia successfully broke in, and then fell into a desperate darkness after a short ****.

Chen Youwei knew almost nothing about the World Cup Qualifiers to be held next year, and this time in the other life was the darkest time in his life, and he didn't care about it at all. Being able to talk to Shen Fang about these more reliable things just now, Chen Youwei naturally analyzed the results from his limited memory combined with the current situation.

"Although we have a so-called style restraint for some countries, don't forget that everyone's real strength is not much different, and it is normal for a boat to capsize in an improper gutter!"

Noticing Shen Fang's concerned expression, Chen Youwei simply opened his words and said directly: "A factor that cannot be ignored is that there are obviously too many Lycia teams in the same group, in case there is a situation where the opponent plays tacit ball, then we really want to cry without tears!" ”

Shen was shocked, what Chen Youwei said obviously made him very alert.

"These are actually small things, and I'm more worried about whether we are well prepared for the game?"

Chen Youwei flicked the cigarette ash and shook his head and said: "I don't know about other places, but judging from the mood of the local fans in Spring City, as soon as the grouping situation came out, everyone was in a state of overoptimism and even impetuousness. It doesn't matter if the fans are the same, but if it's the same within the national team, then the problem is serious! ”

Chen Youwei shook his head and sighed lightly: "If you can't objectively face a strong enemy, there is no complete countermeasure, and if there is an unexpected situation, then you will really be defeated!" ”

"Good! Well said! Shen Fang listened with raised eyebrows and applauded.

Everyone in the spacious lounge paid attention for a while, and Shen Fang waved his hand lightly and smiled: "It's okay, you continue!" ”

"Youwei, I didn't expect you to be busy with work on weekdays, and you still pay so much attention to the national team, it's really hard!" Shen Fang lowered his voice, obviously showing his appreciation for Chen Youwei as an elder.

Before, Chen Youwei may have been more close to the relationship between the Chen and Hu families, but at this moment, he was completely moved by the young mayor of Chuncheng who showed amazing talent and words.

"Uncle Shen is polite, I just said casually, I believe that with the foresight of the leaders of the General Administration of Sports, the national team will definitely be able to overcome strong opponents and successfully qualify." Chen Youwei changed his words homeopathically, and also showed an intimate tone.

Shen Fang glanced at the other members of the investigation team, and sighed slightly: "Borrow your auspicious words, I hope so!" ”

Chen Youwei knew in his heart, but Shen Fang, the deputy director, may not be able to fully control the relationship within the Football Association, and he just does his best to obey the fate of God in some things.

Approaching noon, Chen Youwei raised his wrist to look at the time, and was about to get up and invite the inspection team of the State General Administration of Sports to lunch.

saw the secretary Zhao Xiaowen holding his mobile phone and walked quickly to him.

Giving Shen Fang an apologetic gesture, Chen Youwei steadily walked out of the corridor outside the lounge, and said in a deep voice into the mobile phone: "I'm Chen Youwei!" ”

"Good boy! Your wife is about to break the sky, but you are quite calm?! ”

Xiao Wansheng's high-pitched voice came from the other end of the phone, he had never seen his father-in-law speak in such a gaffe tone, Chen Youwei was a little stunned for a while.

"Crescent? Didn't she go to the sights? What happened? Chen Youwei adjusted his mood and asked in a calm tone.

Perhaps affected by his son-in-law's immobile mood, Xiao Wansheng's tone also calmed down, and said lightly: "Just now Commander He called, and Yue'er had a conflict with the Nan family in the parking lot of some hotel. ”

"The crescent moon is fine, right?" Chen Youwei was worried in his heart.

"Naturally, she didn't have anything to do, the problem was that she asked Lao He to send a guard battalion to protect him, and the limbs of the two juniors of the Nan family were abolished!" Xiao Wansheng sighed softly.

Chen Youwei breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled indifferently: "It's good if the crescent moon is fine!" ”

Xiao Wansheng was speechless for a while, and said calmly for a long time: "You are not worried about the Nan family spilling anger on you at all?" ”

"I believe that Crescent Moon is not the kind of person who is easily impulsive!"

Chen Youwei's eyes flashed with dazzling light, and he said in a firm tone: "The people of the Nan family were beaten, there must be a reason for it. If they really want to do something, I'm with them! ”
