Chapter 966: Chapter 529: Summer Championship, Who is the Champion? (Please Subscribe)_2

When Ding Yue began to speak, all the students looked at Principal Ding earnestly.

"I hereby announce that the school is about to establish a professional football club. We need a professional football team and everyone is welcome to participate enthusiastically in the selection process. Anyone who can make it through the trials and join the school’s professional football team will then represent Mist City Arts and Science University in competitions far and wide," said Ding Yue with passionate eloquence to the students.

As the students heard Principal Ding say this, the blood within them started to heat up gradually.

"Fellow students, think about the current situation of our national team. Do you have thoughts of joining the national team in the future to change its status?"

Ding Yue continued to address the students, "If you have such ambitions, my friends, then start working hard. I believe in you, and perhaps there will come a day when Mist City Feiyue could secure a spot in the Xia Super League, and even break through to gain qualification for the higher echelons of football tournaments on behalf of Xia Country!"

Everyone understood that what Principal Ding referred to as gaining qualifications for higher football tournaments was indeed the World Cup qualifiers. It would indeed be a remarkable achievement if Xia Country’s football teams could break through the World Cup qualifiers and officially enter the World Cup.

However, these goals were still rather distant for the professional football team of Mist City Arts and Science University, unless the team could have smooth sailing from here on out.

"Principal Ding, so shall we name our football club ’Feiyue Football Club’?"

Director Xiong Yang moved closer to Principal Ding and asked in a low voice.

"Mm-hmm."

Ding Yue nodded and smiled, "Yes, let’s call it Feiyue Football Club, shall we?"

"Yes, it’s a good name."

Director Xiong Yang agreed.

After all, everyone knew that the financial backer behind Mist City Arts and Science University was Principal Ding’s Feiyue Group, which called its e-sports club Feiyue eSports and such.

Even the group’s technology and media sectors were named Feiyue Technology, Feiyue Media, and the like.

Now that Mist City Arts and Science University was setting up a professional football team, this team would definitely need to stand out in the future, so naming it "Feiyue Football Club" was naturally unproblematic.

Everyone unanimously approved.

After all, being called Feiyue Football Club meant that they would essentially enjoy the same status and treatment as other departments of Feiyue.

"Principal Ding, I have a dream that our national team can make it into the World Cup!"

"Making it into the World Cup is nothing. We have to play remarkably in the World Cup!"

"Ha ha ha ha, if we could win the World Cup championship, that would be truly awesome!"

"Uhh, guys, calm down a bit, this is getting more and more far-fetched."

The students, after hearing Principal Ding’s stirring speech, were all pumped up, imagining themselves representing the national team and advancing to the World Cup, even dreaming of performing well there.

The most outrageous was the student fantasizing about winning the World Cup championship someday!

To others, this dream indeed seemed far-fetched!

But to Ding Yue, having this kind of thought was excellent. Once the student was indeed selected to join Mist City Arts and Science University’s professional football team, they could be endowed with a [Football Willpower Card], thus possessing a will as strong as steel to achieve the dream of winning the World Cup championship, no?

"Actually, having lofty ideals is pretty good. I hope that everyone maintains their high aspirations and remembers why they play football," Ding Yue said to the students with a smile.

In fact, Ding Yue was well aware. Why did young people like to play football now?

Was it really just for love and passion?

That certainly was a major factor, but there was another important one.

That was, the current national team had really let them down, and they hoped that by their generation, the situation with the national team could be improved.

Thus, Ding Yue encouraged the students to hold on to their lofty ideals.

Then, using [Football Willpower Card] to bolster their will to play football, they would be guaranteed mental strength. After that, with continuous improvement and effort in their future training, perhaps the professional football team of Mist City Arts and Science University truly had hope!

"Principal Ding, we young students, we just love some unrealistic fantasies," murmured Director Xiong Yang, who was standing by.

"Director Xiong, how can you call it an unrealistic fantasy? What if it is achieved? As long as we work hard, there might really be a chance to realize it. I believe in my students."

Ding Yue said so with confidence.

Upon hearing this, Director Xiong Yang found it difficult to say anything more.

Since Principal Ding supported the students having grand football aspirations, what else could he himself say? He would give it his all!

"Principal Ding is right, rest assured, I will rigorously select every member of the football team, then organize the team well and conduct daily training."

Director Xiong Yang’s eyes were filled with determination as he spoke.

"Good, I’ll leave this matter to you."

Ding Yue extended his hand and gently patted Director Xiong Yang on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

No sooner had he finished speaking,

than Ding Yue’s phone began to ring.

"Director Xiong, start the selection process. I’m going to take a call," said Ding Yue, and after saying this, he picked up his phone to check the caller ID.

Jian Zihao!

The name of the head of the E-sports department appeared, and the first thing that came to Ding Yue’s mind was his own Feiyue team.

It seems like the finals of the Summer Game playoffs are coming up, aren’t they?

The regular season had already ended, and the playoffs seemed to have started as well. Without any surprises, Ding Yue guessed that Jian Zihao was calling to discuss the finals of the playoffs.

Being busy with various school matters recently, Ding Yue had not been keeping a constant eye on Feiyue team’s Summer Game events.

But Jian Zihao would still report to Ding Yue.

For example, Feiyue team had been winning in the Summer Game regular season just as effortlessly as they did in the spring, basically without any pressure.

This year’s LPL dark horse, Feiyue team, undoubtedly deserved the title.

It was just unfortunate that this dark horse had sadly lost to Korea’s Big Tiger team in the mid-year competition.

"Hello, Director Jian."

"Principal Ding, tomorrow is the final at our Feiyue team’s home ground against Dragon City’s LC team. Whoever wins will be our LPL region’s number one seed in the S Competition. Do you have time tomorrow, Principal Ding?"

Jian Zihao asked excitedly.

This was the last match of the year for the Feiyue team, led by Jian Zihao, in the LPL for Mist City Arts and Science University.

Whether they win or lose, they can enter the S World Championship.

But if they win, they will enter the S World Championship as the number one seed.

If they lose, they will enter as the number two seed.

"Oh, the playoff finals, right, Director Jian, this time we’re playing against that... that LC team, are we?"

Ding Yue had some recollection.

This year’s Summer season saw the rise of the Dragon City LC team, another dark horse of the Summer Game, managing to defeat the QD team.

However, the QD team still had a chance, with the bubble match to come. With the strength of the QD team, getting a spot in the S World Championship shouldn’t be a problem.

As League of Legends’ mega-region, the LPL had four S World Championship slots this year, and similarly, Korea’s LCK also had four.

Europe had three slots!

In any case, there were more spots at the World Championship this year.

It was just that the extra spots would require teams to compete from the start in the qualification rounds.

"Yes, Principal Ding,"

Jian Zihao replied, "If you’re too busy with work, I will report the results to you immediately after the match."

"Hahaha, Director Jian, what are you saying? How could I miss such an important match, eh?"
