Chapter 1131 The Legend of the World Cup Comes from Camacho's Invitation

On the south side of the Bernabéu Stadium is the famous Plaza Havana, which is the diamond belt of Madrid. The expensive furniture has surpassed the capital BJ of China.Extending to the south is the famous Serrano Avenue, which is a famous brand street where dignitaries, businessmen, celebrities and performing arts stars come and go, where you can buy all kinds of famous products in the world.On the north side of the Bernabéu is a dense high-end apartment. To the north is the collection of famous hotels in Madrid. The famous European Hotel, Ronnie's De Maria Argentinian Restaurant, Basque-style Real Madrid Restaurant, the oldest in Madrid The Great Wall Restaurant of China and the unique Filipino restaurant attract celebrities in the football world. This is where Real Madrid people often gather. In the hotel cafe, meeting Chairman Florentino, Ronaldo, Casey, and Aguero is Usually, one super contract after another is brewing here, so almost all the waiters here have become spies for reporters from all walks of life.

In this Madrid derby, Real Madrid was beaten by Atletico Madrid in stoppage time. Obviously, they were not in the mood to come here to gather again. The reporters who lingered here did not wait for the superstars of Real Madrid, and they all left disappointed one after another, but they were not willing to give up. The reporters soon discovered a new news point. They saw Li Huan entering the Great Wall Restaurant at the entrance of the Great Wall Restaurant, which is rarely visited by Real Madrid players. After the reporters confirmed that it was Li Huan through the waiter in the restaurant, they immediately ambushed around the Great Wall Restaurant. , or go directly to the restaurant and pretend to be a customer to eat, and wait for Li Huan to finish eating.

The design of the Great Wall Restaurant refers to the Chinese Taoist culture. The style strives to be simple and smooth, without ceilings, and emphasizes lines. The halls and guest rooms are decorated with Chinese antiques and furniture. The waiters are all Chinese, which is full of oriental flavor and charm. A mid-to-high-end restaurant, you can not only taste delicious Chinese food, but also enjoy Japanese, Thai, Indian and so on.It is the most frequent place for overseas Chinese in Spain to dine.

Li Huan walked into the private room named "Longevity" on the second floor. The head coach of the Chinese team, Camacho and his translator, had been waiting here for a long time. It was the result of Camacho's careful consideration that he chose to meet Li Huan here. This is the place where Real Madrid seldom come. There are not many reporters here, and he hopes that the environment and people here can arouse Li Huan's homesickness and patriotism.

"Mr. Li Huan, thank you for your face." Camacho has been in China for more than a year, and his speech has some Chinese characteristics. He stood up warmly and shook hands with Li Huan.

"I am very honored to be invited by you." Li Huan respected the successful Real Madrid player and unsuccessful Real Madrid coach, and he hugged Camacho friendly.

After the two were seated as guests and hosts, Camacho gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mr. Li Huan is really brave in this game. It is not easy to score a hat-trick at the Bernabeu. If you participate in the World Cup, you can completely surpass Pele, Ma Radona became the best player in the world of all time."

Camacho is a straightforward person, he speaks very directly, unlike the Chinese who beat around the bush, he only mentions what he wants to say after a meal.

Li Huan smiled slightly. He still appreciates this concise and clear style of conversation, but he did not directly address the topic of the World Cup mentioned by Camacho. He just said, "Thank you for the compliment."

At this time, the waiter brought the food and wine. The wine was Moutai, the national wine of China, and the food was Beijing cuisine. It was obvious that Camacho had also done some research on Li Huan.

"Come on, let me toast Li Huan first, and congratulate you for leading the team to win the Madrid derby."

"Thank you, I'm ashamed."

"Where is that, Mr. Li Huan is too modest. Without you, Atletico Madrid will definitely lose today. As a Real Madrid person, I know these two teams very well. And I am here today because I want to use Mr.'s great talent, Of course, it may be a bit abrupt for me to say this, because this is Mr. Li Huan's job." Seeing that Li Huan didn't mention the World Cup, Camacho directly proposed to let Li Huan join the national team.

Li Huan picked up the transparent goblet and sniffed the spicy and rich aroma of the wine, suppressed the ups and downs of his heart, and said, "Mr. Camacho is trying to persuade me to join the national team?"

Camacho said: "Everyone has patriotism. To join the national team and play for the country, I'm afraid I don't need a foreigner to convince Mr. Li Huan."

Li Huan glanced at the translator. He suspected that these words were mixed with a lot of the translator's thoughts, because in his impression, Camacho did not have such a good eloquence.But the interpreter was serious, without squinting, as if what he said had nothing to do with him. Li Huan didn't understand Spanish, so there was nothing he could do about it.

"Coach Camacho, do you think the national team needs me?" Li Huan asked rhetorically.

"I need it, I need it too much!" Camacho stood up excitedly, and unexpectedly popped out a Chinese need in Spanish.

"I don't think it's necessary." Li Huan said calmly, "It's useless for anyone to join the current Chinese team, let alone me, Coach Camacho, even God is useless."

Camacho shook his head and said: "That's wrong, Mr. Li Huan, as long as you can join the national team, I guarantee that you will win the next three games, at least No.3, no matter which team you face in the knockout round We are not afraid of the team, and we are very sure of entering the World Cup."

Li Huan smiled and exposed Camacho's insincere words, and said, "Okay, then Coach Camacho, can you tell me why you didn't invite me to join the national team when you took office?"

Camacho was at a loss for words for a while, because when he first took over the Chinese team, the Chinese Football Association had already stated to him that the Chinese team did not welcome Li Huan. In addition, Camacho looked at the level of Chinese players and thought that although the Chinese team was not as good as Japan and South Korea, they could still compete with the Chinese team. Saudi Arabia and Iran are at the same level, and with their own guidance, there is no problem in reaching the top four. However, it was only after a year that he understood what Chinese characteristics are, and that the head coach is not the most powerful one. Only then did he understand the results and players It is not directly proportional to their abilities, and it is only then that they understand that the intrigue of the Chinese is more terrifying than the laxity of the Dutch and the Spaniards.

Camacho is worthy of being a world-class coach. Even if he is a second-rate coach in the world, he is more courageous than a first-rate Chinese player. He said with shame: "Mr. Li Huan questioned well, but I was late. I overestimated myself and those Chinese players." Level and professional quality, the Chinese Football Association put forward a condition at that time, saying that the Chinese team could not have your name, I agreed, and now it seems that I agreed to this condition at that time. It was a huge mistake. If I insisted that you join the national team, I think The Chinese Football Association gave in, and now I apologize to you."

Li Huan was a little surprised, but also a little admired. People make mistakes, more than once. The important thing is to be able to admit mistakes and correct them. When you are famous, you will not allow yourself to make mistakes, and you will not admit your mistakes, you will only cover them up.Coaches like Camacho are still rare.

"Have the Football Association agreed with you to come?" Li Huan asked back.

"Well, they don't need their consent. The Chinese team has reached this point. Can't they put the overall situation first?" Camacho said excitedly.

Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Coach Camacho, of course they will not put the overall situation first. This is a Chinese characteristic, and I, even if the Chinese Football Association invites me with you, I will not agree. Because that is I don't like wasting time doing useless work."

Camacho said with righteous indignation: "How is that possible, how is it possible, Mr. Li Huan, as long as you agree, I will do the work of the Chinese Football Association. If they don't agree, I will resign."

Li Huan laughed and said, "Coach Camacho, if you resign, the Chinese Football Association will welcome you with both hands. In this way, they will not only have a scapegoat, but also save millions of euros in payment."

Camacho was depressed and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li Huan, in my impression, the Chinese are very patriotic. Why do you care so little about the country and refuse to join the national team? Are you not Chinese? ?"

Li Huan was not angry, he said lightly: "This is different from Spain. In China, there is a price for being patriotic. Just like when you donate money and find out that someone has embezzled the money to buy a Maserati and a luxury house for your lover, will you still donate? Just Like you are desperately scoring goals and defending desperately in the team, but your teammates are betting on the ball, but want to see the jokes of your teammates. Do you think it is possible to win? Coach Camacho, you are a frank People, I don’t want to lie to you, if you want me to join the national team, you only have to agree to my three chapters of the contract, and if you agree to my three chapters of the contract, you and the Football Association will no longer exist.”

Camacho was stunned by Li Huan's words. When he heard the three chapters of the contract, he couldn't help but said: "Mr. Li Huan, what you said can't be true, you don't even have a coaching certificate."

Li Huan smiled slightly, "This is not a problem, the question is will you agree? Will the Football Association agree?"

Camacho's face grew, and he said: "Li Huan, you should be clear that even in the West, the national team is managed by the Football Association, and you don't have the qualifications to be a coach. A good player may not be a good coach. I think you should think about it, you are 29 years old, you will be 31 years old when the World Cup in Brazil, you have no future, this is your last World Cup, without the World Cup, your status is equal to Stifa at most Nuo, Platini and Puskas, although they are also great, but you have the strength to become the king of the ball."

Li Huan shook his head and said: "Mr. Camacho, you are right. I will be 30 years old soon, I am no longer young, and I am already open to fame. What you said is not very attractive to me. I just Do something quickly, instead of doing useless work to make yourself unhappy. Doing many things can serve the country. For example, I open a football school. I plan to establish a fund to help people in need, not just to participate in the national team Playing football, I'm sorry, Mr. Camacho, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Camacho was speechless by Li Huan's words, and could only watch Li Huan turn and leave.
