Godfather of national football

Chapter 266 London Olympics

In the auditorium, Chen An took the mobile phone, turned on the flashlight function, and shook it like other audiences in the audience.

"Li Guo, do it with me."

"Hehe, I am a distinguished guest representing China. I can't do such a stupid thing."

"Tch, there are tens of thousands of people at the scene, who will notice you."

"That's hard to say, I'm a celebrity, maybe the camera will catch me every minute."

Chen An didn't care, even if he had money, he couldn't buy tickets for the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. If they hadn't entered the Chinese delegation, it would have been impossible for Chen An and Li Guo to show up here to watch the opening ceremony.

"I heard that the hot girl will appear later." Chen An said.

"They are all mothers of four children. What else is there to see?" Victoria just gave birth to a daughter for Xiaobei last year, and now she has been promoted to the mother of four children.

Chen An said, "It doesn't matter, I used to like the Spice Girls."

Li Guo didn't think so, Victoria was not considered a beauty by the standards of oriental people.

What Li Guo cares about is the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games. What is the difference between watching it on TV and watching it live.

When the opening ceremony officially started, Li Guo still felt the difference, and it was very different. Watching the opening ceremony on the spot, the blood in his body felt like it was boiling, which was quite amazing.

The first is to introduce the history of the British Isles. The link is the Thames River. This should be regarded as the earliest large-scale application of virtual reality technology. There were such technologies in the previous Olympic Games, but not so many.

From the pastoral scenery to the later industrial revolution, Li Guo was very familiar with these things, until a helicopter appeared above the stadium, the audience became curious, and when someone jumped off the plane, there was a burst of exclamation.

"Fuck, is she a real queen?" Chen An said to himself.

"How is it possible? You can tell it's a substitute at a glance."

"But it's also very exciting. Such a low-altitude skydiving is easy to mess up."

Li Guo knew that this was a small climax of the opening ceremony. The handsome 007 actor Daniel Craig appeared, and many fans cheered again.

Afterwards, some pictures were skipped in Li Guo's mind, a little chaotic, until the appearance of the hot girl, Chen An was very excited, and took pictures with his mobile phone.

Then it's the highlight, the athletes come out.

The convention is the same, the Greek delegation is the first to appear, and then in alphabetical order.

It was a bit late when the Chinese team played. Li Guo saw Liu Feiren in the delegation. After the defeat in the last Olympic Games, Liu Feiren worked hard to come back. 2012 was considered a relatively good year.

Domestic expectations for him are great, even greater than the attention of the National Olympics, but Li Guo knows that in the end Liu Feiren did not create the miracle in 04 in the cold rain in London.

Li Guo stood up and waved at the athletes. No matter what, I hope the result will be different this time.

In the end, it was also the climax of the opening ceremony. During the self-playing and singing by Paul McCartney, the lead singer of the Beatles, the audience and athletes all fell into a sea of ​​joy, and everyone gathered together regardless of nationality or skin color.

But Li Guo's heart has already flown to the St. James' Park Stadium a few days later, where the second match of the Chinese team's group stage will be held.

*****
This time the Chinese team is in a group with Honduras, Senegal, and Mexico. Li Guo was supposed to go to Old Trafford to watch the first game, but he didn’t go because of the news from the Football Association that the young Olympic player was under a lot of pressure in the first game. Li Guo had better not go, and because the first opponent was also relatively weak.

Sure enough, the National Olympic Games defeated Honduras 2-0 in the first game, ushered in a good start, and relieved the pressure all at once.

But the second game is very crucial. Li Guo knows that the gold medalist of the men's soccer team in the London Olympics is Mexico. It is unlikely that the Chinese team will squeeze out Mexico. So it is more realistic to squeeze out Senegal to qualify for the group.

St. James' Park is the home ground of Newcastle in the Premier League. This stadium adopts an asymmetric design. It used to be regarded as the home of the devil in the Premier League. However, with the decline of Newcastle's performance, the football market here is not as hot as it used to be.

This time Li Guo appeared in the stadium as scheduled, and the British media on the scene paid a lot of attention, and he was not dissatisfied because he was released in the last game.

Even the "Sun" sensationally stated that the reason why Li Guo didn't go to Old Trafford to watch the last game was to avoid suspicion.I don't know how the old lord would feel if he heard these words, what does it mean that the tea will be cold before drinking.

Before the start of the game, Li Guo accepted a brief interview with a British reporter.

Li Guo said: "The football atmosphere in the UK is really good. I think it is FIFA's biggest mistake not to host the 2018 World Cup in the UK."

The reporters at the scene nodded. This was what they were most worried about. Some even said later that the power behind Blatter's resignation was the United Kingdom and the United States, and it started because of the issue of the right to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

But what Li Guo said was not flattery to the British, but the truth. Here, there is a complete system of professional leagues and non-professional leagues. Every school will carry out football games, which is the envy of Chinese footballers.

"Except for the frequent rain, I think it is a kind of enjoyment to watch football in such a stadium." Li Guo said jokingly.

"Then have you ever thought about coming to England to coach one day?"

"Of course!" Li Guo answered simply.

"Then if possible, which team would you like to coach?"

"A Championship team."

Everyone was puzzled by this answer, not to mention Li Guo, looking at the world, even YY would definitely want to coach Manchester United, Chelsea or something like that.

Before anyone could ask why, Li Guo answered by himself: "I like the feeling of starting from scratch, building up the team little by little, and integrating my football philosophy into goals. I think Mourinho's happiest time must be in Porto."

Li Guo remembered that central defender Ricardo Carvalho, who played with Mourinho in Porto, said a very touching sentence later - if Jose needs me, I will go right away, even if it is swimming.

And Li Guo likes this feeling. Li Guo knows that as long as he needs it, Zhou Dun will say the same thing that Ricardo Carvalho said back then.

British journalists are very good at making troubles, but in front of Li Guo, they didn't make any troubles, but they really admired Li Guo's charm. If possible, he might really be the best successor to the old man.
