Godfather of national football

Chapter 387 Children and Old Friends

Belo Horizonte, the fourth largest city in Brazil, is located in the northeast of Sao Paulo.Here will host the much-anticipated quarter-final match between Brazil and China.

The day before the game, the Chinese team will warm up and step on the field at the Mineiro Stadium. This should be the most common activity. It is to try the softness and hardness of the lawn, and then run around to decide what kind of sneakers to wear tomorrow.

But today's stepping on the field is different. Even so, on the way from the Chinese team's residence to the Mineiro Stadium, the security will be the same as tomorrow's game.

On the way of the bus, Li Guo saw a lot of protesters. He didn't know whether they were protesting against the Chinese team or the World Cup in Brazil.Because even though the Brazilian team played very well in the group stage, there are still many Brazilians protesting that the World Cup will be held in Brazil, which seriously affects their lives.

When we arrived at the stadium, the bus drove directly into the underground garage inside the stadium. This is still different from tomorrow. Tomorrow, the players of the Chinese team will get off the bus at the gate of the stadium, and there will be an appearance ceremony.

Stepping on the lawn, the players ran around and felt very good. The quality of the lawn is very good, just like a carpet, and the grass is cut very short. This is to speed up the ball. As a technically-oriented Brazilian team, they like this rhythm.

Zhou Dun turned around suddenly while running, and found a little girl taking a picture of himself with a mobile phone. Maybe it was too small. The mobile phone suddenly dropped and fell on the lawn. The little girl staggered and bent down to pick up the mobile phone.

"who are you."

Zhou Dun knew that fans were not allowed here today, and his only explanation was that she was the daughter of a staff member.

"Little guy, how did you get in here?"

The little girl stretched out her little hand and pointed to the distance, "My father."

Zhou Dun turned his head and saw that it was Fred from the Brazilian team. Originally, there were two kick-offs today. Of course, the Brazilian team was the host. Naturally, they came first. After they finished, the Chinese team kicked off.

"Hey, little guy, I told you not to run around, why did you disappear in the blink of an eye, and took my mobile phone."

The little girl ran over, and Fred picked him up. The little girl said to Fred, "He is Zhou, the guy from Barcelona. You said that you will beat him tomorrow, so I will help you film his training."

Fred scratched his head, talking childishly, how could he even tell a little secret, Zhou Dun was also happy, this little girl is so cute.

"Hello, Fred (Fred is a nickname, full name is very long)."

"Hello, Zhou Dun, how do you feel? Brazil is not bad."

Zhou Dun gave a thumbs up, "Yes, the stadium is great, and the fans are even better, except when they swear."

Fred laughed: "What is this? We were eliminated last year. I was scolded online for a full month. It was a very difficult month. I even wanted to quit the Brazilian team and concentrate on being with my family. It was Luis who kept me."

Zhou Dun walked over and touched the little girl's face, "Little guy, do you want my jersey?"

"No, you are Dad's enemy."

"Haha, no," Fred explained.

Zhou Dun just thought it was funny, didn't explain anything, and left after saying a few polite words.

In the stands, Li Guo found a person. When he walked in, he was indeed an old friend. To be precise, Li Guo knew him, but he could not have known Li Guo. In his previous life, as a Bundesliga fan, he was the star that Li Guo first chased after.

He is the former Bayern star-Elber, who has already retired. He still works in football in Brazil and also plays a guest commentary on football games. He will explain tomorrow's Brazil game. Today he is here to "warm up" in advance.

Elber wore a big earphone and concentrated on practicing: "Oscar passed the ball to Neymar, Neymar dribbled the ball past someone and made a cross, Fred, Fred, he appeared in the position where he should appear most."

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal."

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal."

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal."

"Fred."

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal."

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal."

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal."

Li Guo stood behind Elber and watched mesmerizingly. This old boy is so forgetful. In fact, Elber was born at the wrong time. He has first-class skills and helped Bayern win the Champions League. Unfortunately, in the two World Cups in 1998 and 2002, the Brazilian team would rather bring the old Bebeto than Elber.

So despite being a master of the Bundesliga, Elber did not represent Brazil in the World Cup, which is also his biggest regret.

Li Guo thought that maybe Elber was imagining that he was on the court at this time, wearing a yellow Brazilian jersey, galloping, and scoring goals. If he was 10 years younger, then Fred would not be competitive in front of him, but it is a pity that assumptions are assumptions after all.

Elber was so lost in his earphones that he didn't even know there was someone standing behind him. When he took off the earphones and turned around, he was shocked to find someone standing behind him.

"Li Guo!"

"Hello."

Elber blushed, thinking that Li Guo had seen all the scenes of his crazy explanation just now, and he was quite shy.

"Are you coming to explain tomorrow?"

"Yes, it's my job now."

"It's a pity that you and Ronaldo were born in the same era. If you are now, you must be the number one striker of the Brazilian team."

Elber chuckled, "It's a pity that I competed with Brazil's greatest striker in the same era. I have nothing to say. I can't compare with him."

"By the way, I was your fan when I was a child."

Elber was taken aback, not knowing what Li Guo meant, thinking that his English was not good, so to cover up his embarrassment, he scratched his head, "That's my honor."

"Really, when you were at Bayern, you were the best at that time. The striker you formed with Sergio was very strong in the Bundesliga."

Elber himself has forgotten these things, and it is rare for anyone to remember that Elber still has an identity, that is, Bayern Munich's scout in Brazil.

"That's my fondest memory too. Germany, Bayern. It's a pity that you came to the Bundesliga after I went to France. We didn't play against each other."

Li Guo didn't remember so clearly, this time it was Li Guo's turn to be embarrassed, "Do you have time to have coffee together?"

"I'm sorry, I still have to prepare. I'm a novice and I have to practice more."

Li Guo nodded to express his understanding, and Elber seemed to remember something at last, turned around and said to Li Guo, "You know, this job was originally for Ronnie (Ronaldo), but I took it."

After speaking, Elber looked proud. He couldn't beat Ronaldo in the field, but in another field, he won.

Li Guo didn't say anything, just smiled and gave a thumbs up.
