Godfather of national football

Chapter 13 Draft
"German second?"

Papa Mu thought it was nothing, it was better than the amateur team, everything was difficult at the beginning, he rubbed the check in his hand.

Li Guo went on to say: "It's Frankfurt. Yang Chen, you know, our first Chinese player to study abroad in Europe played in Frankfurt."

"I know,"

Frankfurt is a famous "elevator" in the Bundesliga. It has been in the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga for a long time. It is often relegated in the Bundesliga.

But besides that, Frankfurt is one of the most important cities in Germany and even in Europe. It is the transportation hub and financial center of Europe. The seat of the European Central Bank is in Frankfurt, that is to say, the euro is printed in Frankfurt.

Therefore, living in Frankfurt has greatly improved compared with Sao Paulo in terms of life, which is a very important reference factor for Mu's father.

"coach,"

"No, we are about the same age, you can call me Li Guo,"

Papa Mu didn't do that, but still called Coach Li, "Okay, then I'll listen to you."

"Are you willing to pay for St. Paul?" Li Guo asked.

"There is nothing to be reluctant to part with. No matter where we Chinese work hard, we will eventually return to our roots, so it's all the same."

"Okay, don't worry, I will take care of everything, just wait for my news,"

Back at the hotel, Li Guo breathed a sigh of relief, took a shower comfortably, poured a glass of red wine, and stood by the window.

Now the right back of the Chinese team, the problem of a central back has been solved, but football is a team sport, and it is far from enough to solve one or two positions.

More importantly, the fundamental problem of Chinese football has not been resolved, that is, the problem of not having a strong football atmosphere.

Suddenly, an idea appeared in Li Guo's mind, whether it is possible to imitate the "American Idol" program and hold a national football talent show. On the one hand, it can help select Chinese football players, and more importantly, it can ignite the domestic football atmosphere.

The more Li Guo thought about it, the more excited he became. His exhausted body also relaxed. He turned on the laptop, and Li Guo began to describe his thoughts in words.

*****
When Li Guo wrote out his ideas and submitted them to the chairman of the Football Association, Cai Hua was noncommittal and a little embarrassed.

Although Chinese football has changed a lot, in general, it is still relatively conservative. Li Guo's ideas are a bit too advanced.

"Is this too entertaining?"

"No, it's for the Chinese team selection, and it can also improve the domestic football atmosphere,"

Cai Hua looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to hold such a draft in the name of the Football Association."

"How about holding it in my own name?"

Cai Hua thought to himself, "Can you still distinguish between you and the Football Association?" But Cai Hua didn't say that, Li Guo understood it at a glance, and said straightforwardly: "Anyway, if the Football Association agrees or disagrees, I will hold this event."

Cai Hua laughed, tore up Li Guo's report and threw it into the trash can, then said, "I haven't seen you, and you haven't been here."

"What do you mean?" Li Guo was puzzled.

"It's all on your own terms, I don't know,"

Li Guo understood that Cai Hua had acquiesced, but due to the restrictions of the Football Association, he could not support it publicly. Li Guo also smiled, "Well, I understand, I didn't come today."

After saying these words, the two looked at each other and smiled, Li Guo turned and left the chairman's office.

*****
Cai Hua acquiesced, and Li Guo started to do it. First of all, he needed to find a partner. Li Guo’s ideal partners were Mango TV and Penguin.com. One had experience in hosting talent shows, and the other was one of the largest online platforms in China.

Li Guo handed over the specific work to Chen An. Li Guo's idea is to discover a few talents through this time. It is best to have a little football foundation, but the most important thing is that these people have a true love for football. There was no such talent show in China before, so Li Guo has great expectations for this event.

After contacting, both Mango Channel and Penguin.com showed a strong interest in this event. In recent years, domestic reality shows have been either dating or singing, and the audience is a little tired of watching them. If there is a football draft, it is expected to set off a frenzy of ratings.

But here comes the question, there is no precedent for this type of draft before, what should I do?All rules need to start from scratch.

Mr. Xu, the program manager of Mango Channel, discussed with Chen An, and finally had to ask Li Guo to make up his mind.

Li Guo has also thought about this, to be simple, there is no audition, the whole activity will be divided into two parts, and it will be completed within two months.

The first step is the primary election. Each city elects a representative. After the primary election, the final PK will be held in Shanghai.

In fact, the draft is just an excuse to gather football-enthusiastic young people from all over the country to Shanghai. The final selection still depends on Li Guo's coaching support system. Of course, Li Guo cannot say this.

Because it was the first of its kind, the program received a lot of response. It broke the ratings record created by the XX female voice of Mango Channel during the primary selection stage. Many people started to get in touch with football because of this program.

"Chen Duo is so handsome,"

"Chen Duo's skill at juggling the ball is amazing,"

"Chen Zuo seeks a relationship,"

As the program progressed, it seemed that everyone already had their own idol, that is Chen Duo, the young football player representing Dalian.

The 19-year-old Chen Duo is 185 tall and has a very good appearance. Not only that, but more importantly, this kid has first-class football skills. It is said that Manchester United has already paid attention to him.

When he came to participate in this program, it was as if a top student who had already been recommended to Tsinghua University came to take the college entrance examination. It was tantamount to abusing others.

The football craze had started, but Li Guo was still dissatisfied. He felt that the influence of traditional media was still too small, so he went directly to Penguin and found the technical director—Mr. Zhang.

"Coach Li, this activity is very successful, the click-through rate of the website has reached a new high,"

Zhang was always happy, but obviously Li Guo was not satisfied, Mr. Zhang keenly observed Li Guo's expression.

"Is there anything else the coach is not satisfied with?"

Li Guo turned on his laptop, pointed to the webpage and said, "You just developed a static webpage for netizens to vote. I wonder if you can develop an interactive program, such as fans can follow their idols, and idols can send messages."

Mr. Zhang was a little confused, thinking that Li Guo was too open-minded, "Forgive me, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Li Guo didn't know how to express it, so he said directly, "It's like Weibo."
