"Becoming popular" is not accidental

In Rongjiang, it used to be said that the locals would dance if they could walk, but now it is said that they would play football if they could walk.

In the 1940s, due to the impact of war, Guangxi University moved to Rongjiang County for education. At that time, students were playing football on campus, attracting local people to watch. Slowly, the love for football takes root and sprouts like a seed in the hearts of the people of Rongjiang.

At the just concluded finals, renowned commentator He Wei was immediately stunned by the scene of tens of thousands of people watching. "The last time I was on such a big occasion was at the Lucerne Stadium in Doha, Qatar, when the World Cup final was held," he said.

In the penalty shootout, Chejiang Yicun player Wang Jianxing successfully scored and secured the championship. "The ball is in! Montiel, he is our real-life Montiel," He Wei shouted.

As everyone celebrated their victory, he said, "There was a lot of applause and praise for the champion. I would like to send a sentence to the runner up. Mr. Coubertin, the father of the Olympics, once said, 'The most important thing in life is not victory, but battle. Keep going!'"

Such professional and passionate commentary is usually heard in world-class competitions, and the audience and billions of fans of the "Village Super League" have also benefited from it.

Since the start of the competition, "Village Super" has attracted the attention of well-known figures, and the competition has even become popular overseas. English football legend Owen sent his blessings: "Wishing the 'Village Super League' all the best in the future. I believe you will continue to improve." Spanish legendary football star Iniesta praised this and said, "It's great to see the development of rural football in China. I hope the 'Village Super League' can produce more outstanding young players."

17-year-old Yao Maoqiang's Xinzhongcun football team has just achieved a good result of fourth place in the "Village Super League" competition. He has more expectations for the upcoming National Food Football Friendship Tournament.

"I hope more well-known commentators can come to Rongjiang to explain, and I also hope to receive blessings from my beloved international football star Messi." Yao Maoqiang has already begun to rub his hands.

The Splendid Life of Slash

Slash on the ground, hang the golden hook upside down, hat trick... Dong Yongheng, the owner of the fan rolling shop, scored a series of brilliant goals on the "Village Super" field, which made his loyal village football team have many "fans".

Dong Yongheng has scored a total of 15 goals in 12 matches of the "Village Super League". Due to his outstanding performance, he won the "Village Super" Golden Boot Award this season. In the finals, the Loyal Village team also won the runner up.

In recent days, the villagers have been celebrating the team's good results in various forms, and the Loyal Village Football Team has also decided to share the runner up prize - the Black Haired Pig with everyone.

"The victory of the team cannot be achieved without the support of the whole village. Usually, everyone has their own work, but football brings everyone together," said Dong Yongheng.

The "Village Super League" has ended, but after a brief rest, the team still needs to prepare for the national food football friendly match. "I hope to welcome players from all over the country in a better state!"

On the "Village Super League" field, almost every team is composed of local "village players" from various industries: pig killers, fish sellers, small shop owners, restaurant chefs... They come together because of their love for football, fighting for their football dreams and the honor of their village.

Shi Shihua, who represents Chejiang Ercun in the competition, is a "construction worker". Although the construction site is usually very busy, Shi Shihua still manages to squeeze time to participate in training and competitions.

"Working is manual skill, and playing football is footwork. Strengthening the memory of leg muscles in playing football is like building bricks on a construction site, with skillful skills, to play unexpected good balls." Shi Shihua said.

Li Ming, who kicked the "upside down golden hook" on the field, even took some time to help the villagers repair the reservoir before going on stage; In the early morning of the finals, Li Li, a player from the champion team Chejiang Yicun, went to a stall to sell grilled meat; Paired with CCTV celebrities, Yang Bing, a bank employee who loves football, delivered witty comments on the field... At the "Village Super" event, every villager can find their own happiness and value. "Supreme purity, sincere love" is the most unique charm of this folk football game.

Sharing the Joy of "Village Supermarket"

Yang Liuxiang, a 94 year old villager from Kouzhai Community, donated 50 yuan to support the "village supermarket" and was referred to as the "largest sponsor" by netizens. She arrived at the "Village Super" competition venue in a wheelchair, her eyes full of kindness, and she occasionally waved to everyone. "I don't have much money, everyone needs to drink water and eat during the competition. If you have any, donate a little," she said.

The villagers of Langdong Town repaired bamboo strips, erected dragon bones, and tied rice straw... The "Golden Dragon" and "Golden Phoenix" they made from local materials sparked the "most dazzling ethnic style" during the halftime performance of the "Village Super League" final.

21 year old Lai Ruzuo is a sophomore student at Guiyang Preschool Teachers College. Since June, he has been volunteering for the village supermarket.

From sponsors to volunteers, from cheerleaders to performers, from providing free food and accommodation to voluntarily cleaning up the venue, the people of Rongjiang are all working hard for the enthusiasm of the "village supermarket", participating and enjoying it.

Zhang Lina, a tourist from Inner Mongolia, made a special trip to visit the village supermarket. From getting off the high-speed rail to watching the competition, her warm volunteer service and strong ethnic atmosphere made her feel that this trip was worth it.

"The 'Village Super' is not the excitement of a small group of people, but the enthusiastic celebration of everyone." She sighed and said that this is a green field for ordinary people to pursue football dreams, and it is also a 'big stage' for Miao and Dong villages to showcase their unique cultural charm and ethnic charm.

During this "village supermarket" competition, it attracted over 3 million tourists and achieved a comprehensive tourism revenue of nearly 4 billion yuan. Xu Dajun, a fan from Zunyi, said that he looks forward to more down-to-earth folk sports events becoming popular, and also hopes that the upcoming National Food Football Friendship Tournament can continue the purity, enthusiasm, happiness, and sincerity of "Village Super League".

New comment: Donkey like "morale" limit pulls US debt "bomb" fuse hard to dismantle US | debt | morale

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
