Godfather of national football

Chapter 41 The one who gave the money is unhappy

June is the most critical month for the top 6 Asian World Cup qualifiers. There will be two back-to-back games on the 20th and 7th.

This is a bit imitating the UEFA Champions League system. In the 6 rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the third and fourth rounds are back-to-back games. The same opponent changes home and away games, and two games are played in a very short period of time.

The advantage of this kind of competition system is that it is exciting, and it is very cool for fans to watch. Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. For weak teams or teams with a weak bench depth, this competition system is too cruel.

The Chinese team is about to usher in a match against Qatar in June. The outside world generally expects that this is Qatar's last chance. At least they must block the Chinese team at home. Otherwise, after June, the Chinese team and Australia are likely to lock in the qualifying rights of this group in advance.

The Chinese team is now in this group with two undefeated victories and 6 points. Those who are familiar with the history of Chinese football know that the Chinese football team once encountered black at the last moment of the 1990 World Cup qualifiers in Italy. They were only one goal away from the World Cup.

And it was the Qatar team that gave the Chinese team black 3 minutes. Because of this history, Chinese football was depressed for a long time until 2001, when the Chinese team entered the World Cup.

Because the Chinese team has a tradition of losing the chain in the past, the Chinese media kept a low profile, while the foreign media made hype about the Chinese team, especially the Qatari media, who even praised the Chinese team as the strongest opponent in this group.

A few days before the game, Li Guo did a good job of keeping it secret, so although the major media were very interested in the game, everyone did not inquire too much, and everyone knew Li Guo's temper.

But unexpectedly, before the national football team set off for Doha, an article on Penguin.com disclosed the starting list of the Chinese team in advance.

Goalkeeper - Wang Dalei.

Defense line - Mu Fei, Zhou Dun, Yin Di, Geng Chong.

Back midfielder - Fang Suo, Li Weifeng.

Avant-garde line - Shen Rui, Zheng Zhi, Sun Jihai.

Single striker - Chen Gelin.

The article was signed by Li Zibing, and the first feeling of the media colleagues was that this should be a hype, because Li Guo's bad temper is unlikely to tell anyone the news.

But then it was discovered that Li Zibing's article had been posted on Penguin for a long time, and the national team did not come out to refute the rumors. In this way, this matter is strange. Could it be that Li Zibing is really supernatural.

*****
At the headquarters of Penguin.com, Li Zibing's phone was almost ringing, "Your article is a guess, or what Li Guo told you."

"What's your relationship with Li Guo?"

"Did you set Li Guo's unspoken rules, or Li Guo unspoken rules about you?"

In the end, Li Zibing had to turn off the phone. It’s no wonder that everyone wentssip. Just look at Li Zibing’s Weibo and you will find that Li Zibing is a beautiful woman, and Li Guo is also considered handsome. Netizens who have already had good things PS the two of them together. The background is the Titanic.

Li Guo has more fans on Weibo than Li Zibing, so Li Guo posted more messages, and of course most of them asked—what is your relationship?
In this situation, it would have been better not to respond, but Li Guo actually responded with two words - friend, this was shocking.

"Li Guo admitted that Li Zibing is his girlfriend."

"Fuck, I said friend, when did I say girlfriend." Li Guo thought to himself, but I'm sorry, this is the energy of Weibo.

Clever netizens began to read Li Zibing's past Weibo, "No wonder Miss Li is willing to be a fan of the national football team. She has been with Li Guo for a long time."

In the next few hours, if you have something to do, you must have Aite at the same time. For example, I went for a run today, and then Aite Li Guo and Li Zibing at the same time.

Li Guo wanted to cry at this time, "I was wrong, I just want to play football, what kind of Weibo."

So Li Guo explained on his Weibo, "Li Zibing and I met when we hosted the last "Happy Football" program. Don't think too much about it. Besides, I think the starting lineup of the national team, given the current strength of the Chinese team, there is no need to keep any secrets."

Netizens were very cooperative this time, replying in unison—"We understand," followed by a toothy smile.

Li Guo is also a person who has experienced the era of Weibo. He knows the power of Weibo.

The most ridiculous thing is that a wedding company sent a private message to Li Guo, "Coach Li, come to us during the wedding, and we will give you a [-]% discount."

"Wedding? I rely on it."

The more lively the Internet was, the more ugly some people in the Football Association looked. Finally, Director Feng couldn't bear it anymore and found Cai Hua.

*****
The office of the chairman of the Football Association, since Li Guo took office, this is the N times Director Feng has come here, still lighting a cigarette, this time Director Feng did not take a puff, but let the smoke linger.

Generally speaking, Chinese sports are still very conservative. Even for a star of Tian Liang's level, as long as there are too many scandals, the General Administration of Sports will also be ruthless.

"Old Cai, this national football team is about to become an entertainment circle."

"It's just gossip," Cai Hua said calmly.

"Rumours? Believe it or not, this Li Guo will make big news one day. Now is the eve of the storm."

Cai Hua ignored it, and Director Feng said with his fingers: "Provoke the reporter, make a bet with the reporter in the Philippines, then the draft, and travel around the world."

"Stop it, Old Feng, Li Guo is not traveling, but scouting players. It's unfair for you to say that about him, and he still spends his own money."

Director Feng was at a loss for words for a while, he was too excited just now, he couldn't choose what to say, Cai Hua caught a loophole and hit him hard.

But Director Feng reacted quickly, "It's okay if you don't say anything. Now that you have said it, then I have to talk about it. This Li Guo seems to only pick out random troops, and he doesn't even look at any regular troops."

"Old Feng, I don't understand this. What is a regular army?"

"Hehe, our Football Association sent them out, as well as the Chinese Super League players. Lao Cai, do you know that the Football Association sends children to Brazil, each of whom costs several million in training fees. Now it's all right. They can't even enter the national team. The sponsors are very unhappy."

Cai Hua also lost his face. He knew that the biggest sponsor of Chinese football is the Wannian Group, and even the salary of the coaches of the national team is sponsored by this group. Football is different from other sports. If you don’t have money, you can’t play this sport.

"Wang Cong, the second head of the Wannian Group, said that since the national football team can just find anyone, the sponsorship fee is tantamount to wasted, and I will consider not investing in the next year." Director Feng said angrily.

Cai Hua was upset, "Then what do you want!"
