Chapter 964: Chapter 528: Mist City Arts and Science University Professional Football Team (Please Subscribe)_2

"As for the basketball team, I remember we already had one," Ding Yue turned his gaze to Director Xiong Yang and directly addressed the situation of the football team.

"Principal Ding, there are indeed many football enthusiasts, so there is no shortage of students studying football in our School of Physical Education. We have dozens, and if you add the football lovers from other majors, Mist City Arts and Science University currently has four registered football teams, but they are all amateurs,"

Director Xiong Yang immediately responded upon hearing the question.

In the vast Mist City Arts and Science University, football teams existed, but as Director Xiong Yang said, they were all amateur teams. Even those formed by students specializing in football could not yet be considered professional football players because, in Xia Country, football was incredibly challenging.

The system tasked Ding Yue with establishing a professional football team for Mist City Arts and Science University – could it be intending for him to train the university’s football team, and then, through relentless effort, to completely turnaround the national team’s current situation?

Good lord!

At the thought, a surge of excitement couldn’t help but bubble up inside Ding Yue’s heart!

If the state of the national team could indeed change as a result of the emergence of Mist City Arts and Science University’s professional football team, that would be utterly thrilling.

"Director Xiong, gather all four of our school’s football teams, as well as the other football enthusiasts and students majoring in football!"

After his moment of excitement, a spark of passion ignited within Ding Yue, and he promptly instructed Director Xiong Yang.

This time, Ding Yue planned to carefully select and form a real football team from within Mist City Arts and Science University, then see if they could achieve some success.

"Principal Ding, could it be... could it be that you’re preparing to establish a professional football team for the school?"

Upon hearing this, Director Xiong Yang’s eyes widened with excitement, and he asked.

Ding Yue did not speak, simply nodding slightly.

But that single nod from Principal Ding was an affirmative answer, which made Director Xiong Yang even more thrilled inside.

"Principal Ding, do you know? I am also a football enthusiast. Unfortunately, I am too old to play football now, but just thinking about our Xia Country’s football... sigh, I hope our Mist City Arts and Science University can form a football team and achieve some results!"

Director Xiong Yang spoke with excitement and passion.

"Oh? Director Xiong, you have such a vision? But with our national team’s environment, I fear it’s going to be tough,"

Although Ding Yue shared Director Xiong Yang’s aspirations, his response was sharp, like a "knife."

And it was brutally honest – the current state of Xia Country’s national football was indeed worrisome. How many years had it been since they last qualified for the World Cup?

"Isn’t that the truth? But Principal Ding, if our Mist City Arts and Science University’s football team could achieve even a little success at the National University Sports Games, that would be quite good for us,"

Director Xiong Yang said with a smile.

The dream is beautiful; who doesn’t wish to see the national team make it to the World Cup and even dominate from there on out?

But reality can be harsh!

Director Xiong Yang was well aware of this, so his expectations were simply to achieve a certain level of success in the National University Sports Games.

At the National University Sports Games, there would be participation slots for teams from over twenty universities across the country. To secure a spot, dozens to hundreds of university football teams would need to compete.

The level of football in this competition wouldn’t be considered too professional, but it definitely wouldn’t be poor either.

"Alright."

Ding Yue, hearing this, smiled and nodded, "Then let our goal be to first win the football championship at the National University Sports Games!"

"Great!"

Upon hearing this, Director Xiong Yang was instantly fired up.

This wasn’t just inspiring, was it?

"Director Xiong, didn’t I ask you to inform our school’s football teams?" Ding Yue reminded him.

In the midst of their conversation, Director Xiong Yang appeared to have forgotten this task.

"Oh right, right, right, Principal Ding, look at me, talking and talking and just forgetting about it; I’ll contact them right away,"

Having said this, Director Xiong Yang immediately began to reach out.

He first contacted a football team group he was in, then notified the school’s football association. After that, they would notify each other, and in this way, they could basically call everyone over.

About fifty to sixty people were present.

Though Mist City Arts and Science University had only four football teams, with eleven players on each team, plus substitutes, as well as other football enthusiasts from the association, there were indeed fifty to sixty people.

Director Xiong Yang mentioned that Principal Ding had summoned them, so those in the football association who received the message immediately notified everyone else, and then they all rushed to the sports field.

Like other universities, Mist City Arts and Science University had various hobby associations, including a football association that basically attracted students who liked football or wanted to learn it.

About five minutes later,

people gradually started arriving at the football field of the sports complex.

In fact, one of the football teams was already training on the field at that very moment, composed of students from the football specialization at Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Come on over, everyone,"

Director Xiong Yang, having alerted the others, then gathered this football team from the sports field.

A dozen people quickly assembled.

"Good day, Director Xiong, good day, Principal Ding,"

the dozen or so people called out in unison.

"Good day, students. Hey, who is your coach?"

Ding Yue looked over the students, all players, but none seemed to be the coach, so he asked.

How important a coach was to a football team naturally didn’t need to be elaborated on by Ding Yue.

"Ahem,"

Director Xiong Yang cleared his throat at this moment and said to Principal Ding with a smile, "Principal Ding, I’m undeserving, but I am their coach."

"You, Director Xiong?"

Ding Yue was somewhat surprised and after a glance at Director Xiong Yang, he nodded and said, "Alright then, Director Xiong, you will continue serving as the coach for our selected university’s professional football team."

This Director Xiong Yang must have some skills, and if so, Ding Yue saw no harm in letting him continue to pursue his passion for coaching. After all, Ding Yue didn’t necessarily need a famous football coach; someone from Mist City Arts and Science University would suffice.

Since it would be someone from his university, Ding Yue could provide them with various prop cards.

And so,

Ding Yue quickly used 100 reputation points in his system shopping center and exchanged for a [Top Football Coach Skill Card]!

Ding!

"Congratulations to the Host for a successful exchange!"

Upon hearing Principal Ding say that he would continue to serve as the coach for the upcoming university professional football team, Director Xiong Yang felt a surge of excitement and quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Principal Ding, for your trust."

Seeing that Director Xiong Yang did not refuse and was even eager to continue as the football team’s coach, Ding Yue was quite pleased and immediately used the [Top Football Coach Skill Card] on Director Xiong Yang.

With this prop card, Director Xiong Yang would attain the standard of a top football coach.

Of course,

this level wouldn’t be achieved overnight. Like other props, it would gradually and subtly manifest in Director Xiong Yang.

Ding Yue thought this was actually quite good.

"Director Xiong, the selection of players for our university’s professional football team will be up to you. Pick out a squad from among the students at our school who are skilled in football, then we’ll get our professional university team together to intensify training,"

Ding Yue said emphatically to Director Xiong Yang.

At that moment, the players of the nearby football team overheard Principal Ding’s words.

One of them immediately asked, "Principal Ding, is the university going to establish a professional football team?"

Hearing this teammate question Principal Ding, the other students looked at him expectantly.

The fervor in their eyes came as a bit of a surprise to Ding Yue.
