Godfather of national football

Chapter 230 Unlucky Head Coach
Just when Pu Shuang was stunned, Zhang Yuning touched the ball with his toes, pushed the ball gently, and the ball passed under Pu Shuang's crotch, and then Zhang Yuning bypassed Pu Shuang, completing a beautiful pass through the crotch.

"Damn, it's beautiful."

The international footballers in the distance were applauding. Pu Shuang's skills were very delicate, but this little guy passed Pu Shuang through his crotch. This scene was too rare.

Pu Shuang couldn't hold back his face anymore, and also forgot his status as a national player. He turned around and rushed towards Zhang Yuning, but he forgot an iron rule, that is, no matter how good your skills are, if you lose your mind on the court, you are a fool.

Sure enough, Pu Shuang pounced, and Zhang Yuning took advantage of the opportunity to pass Pu Shuang again. When Pu Shuang turned around again, Li Guo appeared in front of him.

"You had neither grace nor brains just now."

This is why Li Guo has always loved and hated Pu Shuang. Pu Shuang has not changed, but Pu Shuang respects Li Guo very much. At this time, his anger has subsided. He looked at Zhang Yuning, then at Li Guo, touched his head, and said, "Sorry, boss, I didn't know he was your son."

"Damn it, do you all have eyes?" Li Guo thought to himself.

"Stop talking nonsense, he is just a kid who can play football, learn to suppress your temper next time, then you can become a truly great player."

Turning around and looking at Zhang Yuning, the two strikes just now can be said to be that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and dared to show off his skills in front of the national football team.

"Director Li, I'm sorry, I can't help it, my feet are itchy."

Li Guo chuckled, he knew that a good football player would be like a pervert meeting a beautiful woman, or a foodie meeting a delicious food, when he sees football, he can't help it.

"It's nothing, this is your first time playing in the Chinese team."

Zhang Yuning smiled happily. Today was worth it. He just wanted to watch the national football training, but the final reward was far beyond his imagination.

Li Guo called Chen An and whispered something, the latter ran back to the locker room and brought a red home team jersey.

"Tell me, whose signature do you want?" Li Guo said.

"Can I have all of them, the 11 main players?"

Li Guo shook his head, "Young people can't be greedy." Li Guo has studied sports psychology, and he understands a truth. Moderate hunger and thirst are the driving force for progress. If you are satisfied with everything, you will lose motivation.

There are many strong players in the Chinese team now. If you only choose one, it will indeed be a big problem for Zhang Yuning.

Finally Zhang Yuning said: "Head, I want your autograph."

Li Guo knelt down, spread the jersey on the ground, and signed his name on it. When handing it to Zhang Yuning, Li Guo said: "We agreed that we will meet in the national team as the head coach and player in the future."

Zhang Yuning nodded excitedly, couldn't wait to take the jersey, and stuffed it into his clothes.

Li Guo was amused, "Don't worry, no one will rob you."

Farewell to Zhang Yuning, the training of the national team is almost over today. Two days later, the Chinese team will face their quarter-final opponent - Saudi Arabia.

*****
The Saudi team, this West Asian powerhouse won the Asian Cup three times (3, 1984, 1988) and entered the World Cup four times (1996, 4, 1994, 1998). In the last Asian Cup, Saudi Arabia eliminated the defending champion 2002-2006 in the semifinals.

But at the press conference, when Li Guo saw the opponent's coach, there were only three words in his mind - unlucky.

At this time, the head coach of the Saudi team was the Portuguese Peseiro. In his previous life, he was kicked out by the Saudi Football Association after the first match of the 2011 Asian Cup and became the saddest head coach in the Asian Cup.

In fact, Pesero is taking the blame for the Saudi Football Association, because at this time, Saudi Arabia is no longer the strong team in West Asia.

Li Guo estimated that the game against the Chinese team should be the last game that Pesero coached in Saudi Arabia.

Before the game, the powerful reporters had already heard the news. Unless they beat the Chinese team, Pesero would definitely leave after the game.

Because at this time, even the media in Saudi Arabia were sneering at Pesero. The reason is very simple. Although Saudi Arabia qualified for the group, they were beaten 0-5 by the Japanese team in the last round.

从4年前的3比2到现在的0比5，这差距忒大了，沙特球迷确实是难以接受。

"Will you resign voluntarily?"

The first question was asked by a reporter from Saudi Arabia, but it was so sharp.

Not to be outdone, Pesero said, "My liquidated damages are 300 million euros. As long as you pay the money, I can leave at any time."

The Saudi reporter wanted to ask more questions, but Pesero was obviously not in the mood to answer him and pointed to the next one.

"Saudi football has regressed a lot. What happened?"

Pesero stretched out a few fingers, "What does a country's football consist of? The youth team, then what does the youth team consist of? U19, U17, U14, if there is a problem with a country's football, it must be a problem with the youth training."

"So you're not responsible?"

Pesero chuckled, "My responsibility is to take the blame for the Saudi Football Association."

Then it was Lee's turn.

The first question made Li Guo very embarrassed, "Li Guo, which player in the Saudi team do you think is the most threatening?"

Because Arab names are long and strange, Li Guo actually couldn't remember them at all, but he saw a name before the game, so he blurted out, "Yahir."

"Why Yasir?"

Li Guo's forehead was sweating, and he thought: "I don't know that."

"Run faster," Li Guo began to make nonsense.

Fortunately, Yasir is indeed a faster player in the Saudi team, so Li Guo's answer is still reasonable.

The next one was a reporter from Singapore. The question was very strange and unceremonious, "How many Chinese teams are going to win in this game?"

Li Guo shrugged, "In the knockout stage, it doesn't matter how many you win, the important thing is to win."

The reporter who asked the next question was a Chinese reporter, "Director Li, you used three lineups for the three games in the group stage. This is different from the World Cup and the Olympics. Will you have a fixed lineup for the knockout rounds?"

"Yes, I think it is necessary to fix the main lineup in the knockout stage. In fact, I already have a satisfactory main lineup in my heart."

Of course, Li Guo did not disclose in advance that the short rest period of the Asian Cup is over, the knockout round has begun, and the Chinese team is also ready to face the next opponent. What is the Chinese team that Li Guo is satisfied with?
