silent farm

Chapter 183 On the surface, it is about football

Having achieved their goal, Fernando and Ali left the farm the next day.Chen Bo still stayed.

Today is the first day of the Farm Games.The opening ceremony of this sports meeting will also be held, but not today, because what starts today is only team sports, such as football and basketball.The opening ceremony is still three days away.

When Chen Bo came this time, he wanted to talk to Li Sheng about the selection of young players in China.This morning, there will be a football match.

There are a total of five football teams that signed up for this sports meeting at Silent Farm, four of which were formed by people from the farm.The last one is the Kaboclo team from Manaus, led and captained by Sandru Manuel.

When Li Sheng and Chen Bo came to the sidelines of the football field, the two teams that were leaving the field today were warming up.There are not too few spectators on the sidelines.Most of the farm workers are working, but some come to watch the game.The most active ones are the Gilolo people and the villagers of Auriximina.

Neither side has a coach, and it cannot be regarded as a regular game, so there is no superfluous things such as appearance ceremony.When the time is up, the security team members who act as referees are ready to start the game.And these security team members are all temporarily selected grades over 30 years old, and they found the school teachers to learn how to act as referees for a period of time.

Because Li Sheng wanted the game to be as formal as possible, there were four referees in this game, two line referees, one referee, and one assistant referee.As for the substitution, it was an ordinary worker who was in charge. He had to record the score by the way, but he was not counted as a member of the referee team.

In this game, try the Kapokoro people and one of the farm's teams consisting of grazing workers.The competition between the two sides was more than fierce, but not exciting enough, but the audience cheered constantly.The villagers of Aurihimina tended more to the Kapokoro, while the farm workers leaned more to the shepherds.As for Ji Luoluo, who still didn't understand why so many people rushed to kick the ball away on the field, they were booing wildly.

After the first half, the Shepherds fell behind 1:2.

Even Li Sheng, who doesn't know much about football, can tell that in terms of coordination, the Caboclos are stronger and have better skills.This score is normal.

During the intermission, Sandru Manuel found Li Sheng.

It turned out that when he was playing football, he had already noticed that Li Sheng was also watching the football, so he found an opportunity to come over.

His already whitish Milan jersey was dirty and soaked.In this kind of game, there is no second set of jerseys for them to change, and they have to play in this set in the second half.But it's not cold, so there's no need to worry about them catching a cold.

He panted and smiled and said to Li Sheng: "Mr. Li, thank you very much for allowing us to participate in your sports meeting."

Li Sheng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Nice to see you Sandro again!"

Sandro Manuel was surprised, reached out and shook his hand for a while: "I'm glad to see you too."

"When you participate in this sports meeting, it's not just a sports meeting inside our farm. It's our sports meeting. You played very well in the game just now."

"Thank you. We are amateurs, but we all like football." Sandru Manuel showed his white teeth.He also felt that this game could be won. "Thank you for giving us the opportunity to compete."

In this Silent Farm Games, the football match is a single round-robin match, and a team needs to play four games.The winner of the game gets 3 points, the loser gets 0 points, and the tie gets 1 point each.Finally, the ranking is based on points. If the points are the same, look at the goal difference. If the goal difference is the same, look at the relationship between the two teams. If the two sides draw, look at the total number of goals.If still the same, the two teams rank the same.The last point is different from the official sports meeting.

Sandreu Manuel, who is aiming for the bonus, of course hopes to win as many games as possible.He was worried that Silent Farm would favor his own people in the referee, but just half the game made him feel that the game was fair.He is a smart man, and he knew that Li Sheng must have played a role in it.

As outsiders, they were not eligible to participate in the competition. After all, this was an internal activity of the Silent Farm. It was specially allowed by the farm to participate in the competition for the [-] reais bonus.It would be impossible without Li Sheng nodding.

What Li Sheng said just now also showed that he didn't care about the football championship being taken away by outsiders like them.This reassured him a lot.

Li Sheng said with a smile: "In Manaus, I feel that you are a good person. I think you Kaboclo people should be a good team, which may add a lot to our sports meeting. In the future, maybe we The same event will be held and hopefully more Kapoclo people will be involved.”

Although Fernando made concessions on that cooperation, he still felt that the farm should unite all forces that could be united.The Caboclos may have always been at the bottom of Brazil's society, and their numbers were small, but they were perhaps the easiest friends for Silent Farm to make now.

"That would be great," Sandro Manuel said with a smile. "Many Kapokoro teams are envious of us being able to participate in such a more formal game. Next time, maybe more Kapokoro people look forward to participating in such a game."

He heard that Li Sheng didn't reject the Kapokoro people to participate in the farm competition.

Li Sheng pointed to some children standing beside the Kaboclo players on the sidelines, and asked, "Are those children from your tribe?"

"Yes." Sandreu Manuel said with a smile. "They insisted on following, saying they wanted to cheer us up."

Li Sheng saw that those children were all between the ages of eleven and 14, so he asked, "They don't need to go to school?"

Sandru Manuel puts his smile back: "Their parents can't pay the school fees."

The two talked for ten minutes, and Sandru Manuel left. He needed to talk to his teammates about the tactics for the second half.

Li Sheng and Chen Bo didn't leave either, they watched the whole match.In the second half of the game, the Capocro people still had the advantage.Not long after the start of the second half, they scored another goal.

Chen Bo shook his head with a smile and said: "They cooperate better than your workers, and their skills are much better. You will lose this game."

Li Sheng was not annoyed either, and said with a smile: "There is no other way. Herding workers have the least chance to play football. Their work is the heaviest on the farm, and they hardly have a day off. On the contrary, other workers often have Get together and play football.”

"However, I have to say that the Brazilians seem to be able to play football naturally. They are obviously very amateur players, but their footwork is not too weak, and they play with confidence and are not afraid of making mistakes." Chen Bo still shook his head with a smile .

He continued: "Last time you said that you planned to select a group of children to study at Silent Farm. I was worried that it would not be effective because it is far away from the city and other teams. Now it seems that even if it is at Silent Farm, it may not be possible. It is better than those football schools in China.”

Football schools do not exist in Brazil.If the children are not playing in the streets and alleys, they are training in the echelon of football clubs.If some children are selected from China, Brazilian children may learn more by playing football together than those football schools in China.

"But how are you going to operate?" Chen Bo was actually asking what promises and guarantees he could give.You must know that Huaxia's parents did not agree so easily to let their children learn football abroad.

Li Sheng thought for a while and said: "You hold a selection event in China, nationwide. It must be absolutely fair. The first batch needs 25 people, around 12 years old, who like football. All the expenses for the selection event will be borne by me. Come out. Those who are selected will be free of tuition, miscellaneous fees, board and lodging fees. They will be given a monthly pocket money of [-] reais. But the parents of the children cannot stay in Brazil. This is very important.”

He thought for a while and said, "You help find some domestic teachers who can teach English teachers, Chinese teachers, and math teachers in junior high and high schools. It's best to find some psychological counselors."

"You seem to take this matter very seriously." Chen Bo didn't expect Li Sheng to put in so much effort.Parents are not allowed to stay in Brazil to exercise their children's independent ability. Teachers are hired to ensure that children can continue to go to school after a few years. Psychological counselors are to ensure children's mental health.

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Since we are going to do it, we must do our best." He paused and said. "And I don't want to limit myself to agriculture."

No matter how big Silent Farm itself is, it is nothing more than an agricultural industry.He wants to have a voice in other industries, but he intends to focus on the farm, which means he doesn't have much time to take care of other things.As for finding talents, it is not something that can be done with money. A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and has a certain reputation in a certain industry. No matter how rich you are, people may not be able to look at you.After all, he is not a bastard, and if he can't shake his body, only this or that person is crying and hugging his thigh.In other industries, he hopes to start small and gradually grow bigger.

Moreover, his investment in football has other purposes.

Chen Bo thought for a while and said, "I will find a professional to come up with a plan, and when you look at it and think there is no problem, I will start on my side."

Li Sheng nodded and said, "I'm not in a hurry for the time being. The school building here will take at least half a year to complete. Even if you choose it, you will have to wait until next year at least."

Chen Bo nodded to express his understanding.

In fact, he didn't have much hope for this selection.It's not that I'm worried that no one will come to the selection, but that I don't expect the selected people to become stars.In his opinion, this selection is just to prevent Silent Farm from being scolded in China.Because the products produced by Silent Farm have gradually become the focus of his business.He also hopes that the reputation of Silent Farm will get better and better in China.As long as one or two selected people can be kicked out, the reputation of Silent Farm in the country will increase a lot.This is still of great benefit to him.

At about seven and 10 minutes into the game, Capoclo made a substitution. A midfielder who looked in his 30s was replaced by a kid who looked only twelve or thirteen years old.But at this time, the Caboclos had a three-to-one lead. Even though Li Sheng felt that the substitution was a bit inexplicable, he didn't think there was any way for the Mugong team to turn the situation around.

After all, this is a team that was put together improvised, without much sense of cooperation and overall view.Even if they thought of finding a breakthrough from that kid, even if they broke through that kid, Li Sheng didn't think they had much chance of threatening the opponent's goal.

But to his surprise, the kid was very active after playing.He turned out to be a defensive midfielder. Although he is small, he is very flexible. He may not be able to compete with adults physically, but his steals are terrible, and he will not touch people at all. His kicks are very firm, very fast, and very accurate.The players of the Shepherds team tried to break through him several times, but he broke the ball and caused a counterattack.If it weren't for the lack of physical fitness of the Carter Carlos in the late game, the kid's accurate pass might have caused the Shepherds to concede two more goals.

However, Li Sheng saw that although the kid's pass was accurate, he never stepped forward and only stayed behind to defend, which was very strange.He feels that with such a long pass ability, long shots are at least good.

Chen Bo is a half fan. He was very surprised by the kid's footwork and said: "The kid's long pass is too good. If he is not too young, he can go to Huachao. No matter what, he is at least a superstar." substitute."
