Name: My father Yuan Mu

Chapter 174 The 1st Sword

With only ten minutes left, the two teams erupted in another small climax, chasing each other, and the ball possession kept switching between the two teams.

In the 88th minute, Chen Yan rushed into the penalty area with the ball again despite his exhausted body. Five or six main players surrounded and blocked him, and he had no choice but to pass the ball.

The substitute player who received the ball raised his foot and shot, but unfortunately the shot lacked power and accuracy, and was blocked by the goalkeeper. The ball immediately flew into the air and landed right above Chen Yan's head.

Seeing the position of the ball, Chen Yan suddenly thought of a special skill in his mind, the bicycle kick!

He mobilized the remaining strength in his body, jumped up with all his might, fell down, and kicked his right foot up. At this time, the football was right at the instep of his foot, and he kicked it out with force.

The ball went through the crowd and hit the right corner of the goal. Before anyone could react, the ball actually went in!

After a few seconds of silence, there was a loud exclamation.

Director Li and the coaching team on the sidelines had ugly expressions on their faces. Zhao Minghai's expression was naturally not good either. Today the main team lost to the reserve team, which was equivalent to a slap in the face for him. He glared at Director Li fiercely, and then looked at Yuan Zhihao.

Yuan Zhihao showed a slight smile at the corner of his mouth and clapped his hands.

"Hey! Why aren't you applauding? Isn't this game exciting?"

"Ah! Wonderful! Wonderful!" As they said this, everyone started to applaud.

"It's really exciting. Your selection of players is also very exciting. The main team can't beat the substitute team. Director Li, Coach Lippi, tell me, what's going on?" Yuan Zhihao looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Secretary Yuan, the win or loss of this game doesn't mean anything. The main team may not be in good shape today. This is inevitable. After all, victory and defeat are common in the military." Director Li explained, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Oh! That's how you understand it. Okay." Yuan Zhihao nodded, then walked to the side, took out his phone and dialed.

"Hello, Director Hou, you can take action now." After saying that, Yuan Zhihao hung up the phone.

Originally, Yuan Zhihao didn't want to take action against Director Li so early, but this guy made Yuan Zhihao very unhappy. He didn't have any attitude of admitting his mistakes. Let's see how long he can hold on.

. . . . . . . .

Yuan Zhihao did not leave the training base that day, but stayed there for one night and inspected the women's football team the next day.

Compared with the men's football team, the atmosphere of the women's football team is much better. The girls train hard and their physiques show that they train regularly. Unlike the men's football team, many of them have small bellies.

After watching a 45-minute game and encouraging the girls, the inspection was basically over, so they took the bus back to the Kyoto Football Association building.

On January 6, Yuan Zhihao convened an internal executive meeting.

The purpose of this meeting is to test the attitudes of these people and see who can be used. Although he has talked to everyone before, he is now going to affect the vital interests of many people. I wonder if these people will be fence-sitters?

Soon, the heads of all departments came to the conference room.

"Comrades, this meeting has only one purpose, which is to discuss the development and future of the national football team." Yuan Zhihao started first.

"I went to inspect the base earlier, and several comrades went with me. You saw the match where the main team was beaten 1-3 by the reserve team. Shouldn't this serve as a warning to all of us?"

"Why has our country's football industry never progressed? I won't go into detail about the reasons, but I have a proposal: to apply to the General Administration of Sports to replace the director of the football training base, Li Minghuan!"

As soon as Yuan Zhihao finished speaking, everyone was shocked, especially Zhao Minghai. His eyes flickered, but there was no other expression.

"Vice Chairman Zhao, please tell me your opinion first?" Yuan Zhihao looked at Zhao Minghai seriously.

"Cough cough!" Zhao Minghai coughed twice, then leaned forward and crossed his hands on the table.

"In principle, I support Secretary Yuan's words. However, Secretary Yuan, sometimes we can't just look at the surface. One or two defeats are nothing. Comrade Li Minghuan still has many good qualities and has contributed a lot to our country's football over the years."

"Secretary Yuan, you may not be aware of this, but everyone here knows it. Back then, for the development of the football base, Comrade Li Minghuan was stationed at the base. He even had many arguments with his wife over this matter."

"I think Comrade Li Minghuan is worthy of our trust. We should give him more trust. I believe that under the leadership of Comrade Li Minghuan, the football base will continue to develop positively."

Yuan Zhihao nodded expressionlessly, then looked at the others.

"Well, what Comrade Minghai said makes some sense. So, other comrades, do you have any opinions?"

Soon, people began to speak out, supporting Li Minghuan, but some also supported Yuan Zhihao, such as the directors of the International Exchange Department and the National Team Management Department. These two people openly supported Yuan Zhihao, but the situation on the scene was still very unfavorable for Yuan Zhihao.

However, Yuan Zhihao was not panicked at all. He looked around and found that except for the directors of the Communication Department and the Management Department who dared to look at him, everyone else lowered their heads. Zhao Minghai had a smile on his face, and his mind was full of thoughts.

"Humph! A guy who just arrived and wants to fight me and take me down? Did you ask me?"

"Okay, since everyone opposes my opinion, and I'm a very democratic person, then forget it. Let's put this issue on hold."

Yuan Zhihao's words startled everyone. They'd expected him to fly into a rage and scold them, but he just let it go like that? Zhao Minghai also looked at Yuan Zhihao in surprise, wondering what he was up to.

But at this moment, Zhao Minghai's phone suddenly rang.

"Sorry, Secretary Yuan." Zhao Minghai quickly hung up the phone.

But then the phone rang again. This time Zhao Minghai got angry. Damn it, I hung up on you, don’t you know to call back later?

"Comrade Minghai, you'd better answer the phone, just in case something happens?" Yuan Zhihao said with a smile.

"Secretary Yuan, I won't answer it. The meeting is more important."

"It's okay, answer it, answer it right here."

Seeing that Yuan Zhihao didn't seem to be joking, Zhao Minghai answered the phone.

"Hello, I'm in a meeting. Call me back later!"

"Boss! Something happened! A few people claiming to be from the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate just took Director Li away!"
