Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 395: Things are ripe and things fall apart (Second update, please subscribe)

A football game that caused the whole city to go crazy had to end eventually, although the result was just as expected, the "Red Hunter" won once again. But it was still an extremely exciting game.

It was already noon when Li Huitang woke up. Even now, he is still immersed in yesterday's wonderful game. In his opinion, in yesterday's game, the team's strength was no less than that of European teams. , the player's technical level far exceeded his imagination.

Once again, Li Huitang thought of the conversation he had with Chen Jixuan yesterday. After the game, they talked all night.

"The "Red Hunter" is said to be the son of the Air Force, but in fact, it originated from the JG52 Wing of the German Air Force, the famous super ace wing. The wing leader Hermann Graf shot down hundreds of aircraft. Erich Hartmann, the super ace and the world's number one ace, is also a member of JG52 United, and Graf himself is a fan. During the war, he founded the "Red Hunters" football team in JG52 United and used his position to Therefore, a group of German football players were recruited under his command and protected."

"Heberger, the head coach of the national football team, became the coach of the "Red Hunters", as well as Eppenhof of the "Schalke 04" football team and defender Koch of the "Augsburg Swabia" club. , in short, the national football team was resurrected under Graf's wings, and they all became his subordinates. Later Graf came to Nanyang, and the comfortable life in Nanyang rekindled Graf's passion for football. Just like it was in JG52. , he selected people from the brigade to organize a football team, and the name was "Red Hunters"..."

Everything that followed seemed to be a matter of course. When he learned that Eppenhoff, Koch and others were starving in Germany, Graf once again extended his wings.

In this way, the "Red Hunters" took root in Nanyang. With a first-class coach and several first-class players, they simply swept Nanyang. It was the arrival of this catfish that greatly improved the level of football in Nanyang. Many players have become football coaches in universities in Nanyang.

"...This is also the reason why they gave up participating in the Olympics, because Graf and others were still wanted by the allies, and the team members were worried that their comrades would be exposed, so they chose to give up. The military also supported their decision because the comrades themselves We just want to protect each other.”

Just thinking about yesterday's wonderful game, Li Huitang felt a pang of regret in his heart. Such a good team could not participate in the Olympics. It was simply... a waste!

No, it's a crime!

What makes him even more regretful is that these football matches are mainly composed of amateur teams. There are no clubs of their own and there is no unified highest-level league. Isn't this a waste of resources?

Therefore, Li Huitang, who originally planned to just visit, stayed in Nanyang and devoted himself to establishing the Nanyang Football League.

But this does not prevent him from enjoying these delicacies. This beef noodle restaurant is very real, with half a bowl of noodles and half a bowl of meat, and the price is only a dime. What's even more rare is that this is a Sichuan style noodle restaurant. In fact, you can eat delicacies from all over Tangshan in Nanyang. This is also a characteristic of Nanyang. Immigrants from various provinces also come here to eat delicacies from various provinces.

As usual, after morning exercise, Li Yian went to a roadside noodle shop and ordered a bowl of beef noodles. It must be said that in the eyes of a so-called nutritionist, his breakfast had always been a typical "poor man's meal". "Breakfast" - carbohydrates, sometimes tea eggs boiled with inferior tea leaves.

Sometimes, life is always full of coincidences of this kind. A chance accident can change some people's lives and also change the trajectory of their lives.

……

As the initiator of everything, Li Yian never knew how many people's destinies he would change. After all, from the day they arrived in Nanyang, the destinies of countless people had been changed.

As soon as he thought of the level of performance of the two teams in the game and the sea of ​​red and gray on the court, Li Huitang couldn't sit still. He didn't even eat breakfast, so he began to recall the organizational structure of the English League and began to plan. Let's start a similar unified competition in Nanyang. After all, this place is different from Tangshan - if such a good foundation is not used, it will be wasted.

"There should be a unified competition similar to the English League..."

While eating noodles, Li Yian read the newspaper. Although the game of the "Red Hunters" team was over, the newspaper was full of news about the football game. Some analyzed the tactics of the "Red Hunters" and commented on the coach of the "Sharks" team Al. Fangs Moog's tactical gains and losses, of course, are not without praise for him and for some of his players.

Looking at the news that occupied most of the newspaper's pages, Li Yian raised the corners of his mouth lightly with a slight smile on his face, while the diners on the side were also talking about yesterday's game with excitement. Occasionally there will be some disputes, obviously, people are still immersed in yesterday's game.

Listening to people's discussions and arguments, Li Yian's mood became more and more joyful. Not because of the competition, but because of the passion people have for sports competitions. This passion comes from the heart, not because of trophies.

In fact, Li Yi'an has always admired sports. When he was in North Africa, he organized a football team himself and played with the team members. After arriving in Nanyang, he directly incorporated sports into the educational framework. In school planning, sports facilities such as playgrounds, basketball courts and even swimming pools have become standard facilities. All middle schools and universities will set up campus sports teams or clubs and assign coaches.

This is Li Yi'an's view on sports and education. In his opinion, sports can help children learn many important skills beyond books, such as following rules, self-motivation, dedication, and learning to cooperate. These skills are very important for their success when they grow up.

At the social level, sports facilities such as stadiums, basketball courts, and swimming pools have also been built to meet the people’s sports needs.

But at another level - the national level, he rejects from the bottom of his heart the Soviet Union's "nation-wide system" where the government invests a lot of money to train elite athletes and specialize in certain "small and difficult girls" events, aiming to win gold medals. After all, Gold medals don't bring school pools and let kids swim in a safe environment.

Compared with this, he is more willing to invest funds in the promotion of sports and the popularization of facilities in schools and society.

And this also led to this year's Olympic Games, Nanyang participated in a lonely. Li Yian didn't think it was a big deal about this. After all, experience tells him that a strong Olympic country does not mean a strong sports country. Instead of using funds to win gold medals, it is better to use funds on sports promotion and the construction of private venues to let more people participate in sports and let all Children can learn swimming, running, basketball, football and other sports during the learning stage, and make sports a part of their lives.

With a broad sports foundation, you will naturally become stronger. This strength is not necessarily the strength of gold medals, but one thing that is certain is that the physical fitness of the people will never be bad.

"It seems that the current trend is pretty good!"

Listening to people's arguments about the football game, at least the public base is pretty good.

After breakfast, when he stood up to leave, Li Yian glanced at the photo on the front page of the newspaper, which was a photo of the "Red Hunters" team.

He had already heard about this team with the "blood" of the Santoku Air Force, and he also knew about the fact that they gave up the game for the safety of their comrades.

"What a good group of young men. With them here, maybe Nanyang can really become a sports powerhouse!"

On the way back to the official residence in the car, Li Yian accidentally saw a few passers-by wearing red jerseys. They were obviously fans of the "Red Hunters". Looking at them, Li Yian couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

Will there be a chance to win the Hercules Cup in the future?

Who knows?

After all, the football environment in Nanyang is quite good now...

Thinking of the "Hercules Cup", Li Yian couldn't help but start thinking about it. Who said that this can't become a dream? Of course, he will not interfere. As a ruler, he knows that his duty is to create an environment. He only needs to provide the environment. As long as there is a suitable environment, everything will naturally blossom and bear fruit...
