SW Team’s home field was surprisingly crowded today.
It was the first game since SW Team was bought by Jay Sis Technology, so many spectators came here to behold SW Team’s revival.
Though its opponent was ZH Team, the second-ranked team in the association, most people preferred SW Team.
Because Chase’s reward system gave them hope.
Generous rewards always roused one to heroism. SW’s team members must be cheered up much.
As Chase went into the private room area, all the chamber members greeted Chase, including Jason and Carla.
Chase knew they had no interest in the football game, so they must come here to support Chase’s decision.
“Mr. Lu. I didn’t expect you also have an interest in the football game.”
A middle-aged man came over, bald, and in a formal suit, warmly reaching out his hand to Chase.
“This is the boss of ZH Team, Cong Hu.” The manager, Enger Liu, whispered to Chase.
Enger had invited Cong for dinner on the SW Team’s manager’s name, but Cong refused him, making Enger ashamed.
Enger knew he was not at the same level as Cong, so he had to endure. Now Enger just hoped SW Team could defeat Cong’s ZH Team.
“Mr. Hu. Nice to meet you.” Chase shook hands with Cong.
“I come to Jol City to meet Mr. Lu, but you’re too busy. Fortunately, you have to watch the game.” Cong smiled meaningfully.
Chase raised his eyebrows. Cong’s word was meaningful.
But Chase didn’t care much. He directly went to the private room for the bosses of two teams.
Several minutes later, the game started.
ZH Team’s players had the upper hand while SW Team was in its surrounding, making Cong excited.
Cong constantly shouted and hailed beside Chase.
Chase turned to glance at him, and then continued to watch the game.
Though SW Team’s players were trying hard, they even couldn’t kick the ball across the half-court.
Chase sighed. The gap was enormous.
He had to invite some skilled players after this season.
The forward in SW Team was always absent-minded, unable to shoot even once.
Finally, half an hour later, ZH Team broke the ice and shot the first one.
The ZH Team’s players were hailing, and Cong also stood up to shout with excitement.
Chase had to applause, too.
While SW Team was silent.
“Mr. Lu. The football game is different from other industries. Many big shots make great achievements in other industries but fail in the football game!” Cong sat down again and smiled with complacence.
Cong seldom followed his team to other cities, but since Chase bought SW Team, he decided to come with his team this time.
Cong intended to make a good relationship with Chase. After all, Chase was the huge shot now in Country C.
But Chase refused to have dinner with him. Cong felt ashamed, so he refused Enger’s invitation.
Actually, Chase’s refusal was because he didn’t want to manage the team himself, not because he disdained Cong.
“Oh? You raised my interest.” Chase smiled.
“Ah? I hope your team can protect your rank.” Cong laughed.
Cong’s meaning was that SW Team would be demoted from the premier league to the first division. Though Chase was wealthy, his team could only play games in the lower division.
Chase smiled but didn’t argue.
He had no word to refute Cong since SW Team was indeed terrible.
SW Team had to win the rest four games to protect its rank, or they would really be demoted.
The game was still lasting. SW Team was depressed while ZH Team was cheered up.
Finally, at the last minute before the half-time, ZH Team’s players suddenly made a long shot, and the ball got into the goal again!
Cong’s crazy hailing finally made Chase annoyed.
Chase stood up and went to the locker room with a sullen face.
Enger hurriedly followed him.
Chase stood at the door of the locker room. Enger even didn’t dare to speak as he saw Chase’s sullen face.
A few minutes later, players went back to the locker room with depression.
As they saw Chase, they began to be panicky.
They had lost two goals in the first half, and they couldn’t turn the situation facing the second-ranked team.
Chase’s coming must be because of his discontent.
“Mr. Lu.”
“Mr. Lu.”
They cautiously greeted Chase.
Chase nodded and stood there to wait for the coach.
The coach was also anxious as he saw Chase there.
Chase had offered so much money to reward them for a victory, and he personally came to watch the game.
But they lost two goals just in the first half and had no chance to turn the situation. The coach felt ashamed.
“Just go in first.” Enger frowned.
Their performance also made Enger disappointed.
Though the player’s performance had nothing to do with Enger, he also felt ashamed in front of Chase.
Those players were all avoiding eye contact with Chase.
Chase looked around, and then finally opened his mouth.
