Godfather of national football

Chapter 35 Infiltrating the Los Angeles Galaxy

"Certificate? What certificate?" Li Guo just wanted to say that, but luckily he reacted quickly, "I'm a reporter, and I want to interview Chen."

"Reporter? Please show your international press card."

"I came in a hurry, I forgot it in the hotel and didn't bring it with me,"

The staff looked at Li Guo suspiciously, "I'm sorry sir, I can't let you in."

Li Guo has already interpreted his suspicion from the facial expressions of the staff. If he continues to entangle, Li Guo is afraid that he will spend tonight in prison.

Leaving the stadium in dismay, Li suddenly remembered that as a fan in his previous life, he had seen a story that happened to Duan Xuan in an issue of "Football Night".

Duan Xuan once had an opportunity to interview Maradona in Argentina. Of course, he was rejected mercilessly at first, but when Duan Xuan showed his international press card, Maradona's agent finally let him go.

"It seems that the press card is very useful," Li Guo thought to himself.

But in this unfamiliar Los Angeles, where can I get a press card? The "accreditation" service here is not as convenient as in China. Besides, using a fake card here may not be so pleasant.

"reporter?"

Thinking of these two words, Li Guo suddenly jumped into Li Guo's mind, "Li Zibing!"

There is a 15-hour time difference between Los Angeles and BJ, so when Li Guo called Li Zibing, it happened to be early in the morning.

After a burst of rapid phone ringing, Li Zibing even wanted to kill someone, "Li Guo, you better have a reason that satisfies me, otherwise if you call this girl early in the morning, you... must be courting death."

Li Guo on the other end of the phone didn't mean to apologize at all, and said bluntly, "Do you have an international press card?"

"Yes! What's the matter?"

"Then you come to Los Angeles immediately,"

"Fuck, Li Guo!"

Before Li Zibing could get mad, Li Guo said first, "I beg you this time, come here as quickly as possible."

"Please?" Li Zibing knew that it was not easy for Li Guo to say these two words.

"What's wrong with you? You got caught playing hooligans in the United States?"

"Please, do you think I need to play hooligans with my good looks? Do you know that I am always played hooligan by beautiful women?"

"Shameless," Li Zibing cursed softly.

"No kidding, I really need your help," Li Guo said seriously.

Hearing Li Guo's sincerity, Li Zibing stopped joking, "Okay, I'll go there as soon as possible, but air tickets, board and lodging..."

"I'll reimburse you,"

Li Zibing chuckled, "OK."

*****
Li Zibing saw Li Guo from a long distance away from Los Angeles International Airport. Not to mention, Li Guo was quite recognizable in the crowd, and he was not the kind of person who was easy to bury.

The two got into the taxi, and Li Zibing asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Guo briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter. Li Zibing was very smart and probably understood, "You want me to help you sneak into the Los Angeles Galaxy's training base?"

"Correct!"

"How do I sound like you are taking advantage of me,"

"The reason is similar, but it's not about taking advantage, it's about mutual benefit."

"Pfft, mutual benefit, then tell me what you can do for me?"

Li Guo spread his hands, "You can make a price whatever you want, as long as I can do it."

Li Zibing smiled slightly, "Let's owe it first, by the way, you can definitely contact the Football Association or the consulate for this matter."

Li Guo shook his head, "No, Chen Gelin is different from others. He can choose to play for the Chinese team or the US team. His situation is similar to that of Hua Tian of the Chinese equestrian team. For such a person, we can only fight for them, not recruit them."

Li Zibing nodded, "Are you afraid that there will be a commotion and the US national team will snatch people in advance?"

Li Guo patted Li Zibing's head, "So you're quite smart."

"Don't touch my head, it can be broken, and my hair can't be messed up."

"Hehe," three lines appeared on Li Guo's forehead.

Since this is the case, then a new problem cannot be avoided, that is, even if you sneak in and meet Chen Gelin, will people listen to you?
Li Zibing expressed his doubts, and Li Guo replied: "Of course it is impossible to be 100% sure, but I am willing to try."

Now that the decision was made, Li Zibing applied to Los Angeles Galaxy for a visit. Li Zibing has an international press card, and the club agreed to Li Zibing's request after conducting a background check on Li Zibing.

"It's finally coming in. I went to the Kremlin when I was young, and it's not that difficult," Li Guo said.

Although they went in, Li Zibing and Li Guo could only visit and shoot at the designated place.A few minutes later, Li Guo finally saw Chen Gelin on the side of the training ground.

Although he is of mixed race, Chen Gelin is similar to Chinese in other respects except for a higher nose.

"So handsome," Li Zibing said.

"Crazy?"

"Screw you."

"Let the air go, I'll go over for a while,"

"Don't...don't...don't," Li Guo had already stepped over the low barrier to the edge of the training field.

"Can you speak Chinese?" Li Guo asked, a strange voice, a strange person, which surprised Chen Gelin.

"who are you?"

"So I can speak Chinese," Li Guo thought, "I am the head coach of the Chinese national team."

Chen Gelin was dubious, "Why are you looking for me?"

"On business,"

"I'm sorry sir, I don't know what your purpose is, but I can tell you that I hope you leave, I don't need your product."

Chen Gelin regarded Li Guo as a salesman, Li Guo chuckled, "Why don't you listen to me and tell you what I can offer you, I think you won't refuse after listening."

"No, I really don't need anything."

"Really? What if all I could give you was an Olympic medal?"

These words were so weird, Chen Gelin wanted to reject them straight away, but he was curious about what the stranger in front of him meant.

Li Guo continued: "I know that the U.S. men's football team has not qualified for the BJ Olympics this year, so I would like to invite you to join the Chinese national team and represent China in the Olympics."

As soon as this remark came out, Shi Potian was shocked, and Chen Gelin was completely stunned. Yes, as a football player, he had two dreams since he was a child, to participate in the Olympics and the World Cup.

Li Guo knew the art of negotiation very well. He knew that although the first condition he offered was tempting, it was not decisive, so he said immediately, "Maybe you want to represent the U.S. team, but as far as I know, no Asian-American country has participated in the World Series in the history of U.S. men's football. Do you think you can be an exception?"

　Asking for collection, new book stage, a little support is very important
