Godfather of national football

Chapter 57
The first match of the national football team was held in Shenyang, the time was the day before the opening ceremony, but it seemed that the eyes of the whole world had already focused on BJ. Everyone was looking forward to the opening ceremony and what a wonderful feast this ancient country could give.

A few days before the opening ceremony, the Korean media was criticized by Chinese netizens for secretly filming the rehearsal.

Li Guo was not happy about this, he would rather swear at the Koreans in vain than to care about the first game of the national football team.

New Zealand, the opponent in the first game of the national football team, is recognized as the weakest opponent by the outside world. New Zealand is also a daughter-in-law for many years.

3 points in the first game is the most basic goal, but the first game of the competition is not easy to play, let alone the Chinese team is the host.

On the day of the competition, fans from all over the country gathered in Shenyang. For them, the Olympic Games started today.

Outside the stadium, on the bus, through the car windows, everyone saw the fans outside the stadium, waving small national flags in their hands, with national flags painted on their faces. These should be fans who have not bought tickets.

Soon, they also saw the national football bus coming, so they gathered together and formed a "people's lane" to welcome the national football bus.

The bus driver also slowed down, and the players waved out the window. At this time, it was difficult to express everyone's feelings in words, just like the soldiers before they set out for the battle, they wanted to go on the field and fight each other immediately.

Li Guo looked out the car window, he was one of them in his previous life, one of the thousands of football fans in the country, so he could understand their feelings very well.

The fans kept chasing the bus until the entrance of the stadium. When the team bus drove into the stadium, Li Guo looked back and thought: "Just wait, I won't let you down."

The stadium is already a sea of ​​red. Chinese fans are very cute. No matter how cynical they are usually, they will still pay attention to the national football game at critical moments.

When the players of the Chinese team came out to warm up, there was a lot of shouting at the scene, and finally the head coach of New Zealand protested.

Fortunately, the fans were very cooperative, so the New Zealand team warmed up in that small area. After half an hour of warming up and stepping on the field, the players returned to the locker room. After making final preparations, the players were about to enter the field.

Li Guo was standing in the player tunnel, he didn't need to say anything, the fans had mobilized him, and all he needed to do was give everyone a hug.

"Head, I'm a little nervous," Mu Fei said.

Li Guo patted his head, said with a smile: "It's already here, if you're nervous, I can only drive ducks to the shelves."

Mu Fei nodded, but his lips were trembling. Young people in their 20s have to shoulder the expectations of a country. It would be a lie to say that they are not nervous.

After the players entered the field, the national anthem playing ceremony began. The national anthem of New Zealand was played first, and the audience was very quiet, which was a courtesy of the host.

Soon after the New Zealand national anthem was played, it was the turn of the Chinese national anthem to be played. The 11 young men of the Chinese team stood side by side, with their arms on the shoulders of their teammates.

The melody sounded, "Get up..." At this moment, Mu Fei and Geng Chong shed tears. Li Guo remembered that in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, North Korea's Zheng Dashi burst into tears. At that time, Li Guo didn't understand, but now he understands.

The national anthem was playing, and Li Guo's mind was like a revolving lantern. At the end of the "move forward", Li Guo applauded along with the audience. The players on the field formed a circle to encourage each other, and the game was about to begin!
*****
In his previous life, Li Guo remembered that it was the New Zealand team who scored the first goal, but this time such a scenario happened again, and the person who scored the goal for New Zealand was the same, it was Brockey.

New Zealand's offense is very simple, it is the most traditional English football, pass the ball once in the midfield, and then rely on the strong bodies of the frontcourt players to fight. It is said that New Zealand rugby is very strong. It seems that their men's football has also borrowed rugby tactics.

Originally, this style of play was of little use against the current Chinese team, but perhaps it was because of the nervousness of the first match. Mu Fei missed Brockey when he rushed for it.

As soon as the goal was scored, the Wulihe Stadium was silent. The camera was shown on the face of a beautiful fan in the stands. Looking at the big screen, the beauty realized that the camera was filming herself, so she forced a smile, but because the Chinese team lost the ball, the smile on the beauty's face was forced.

At this time, the role of the captain was revealed. Li Weifeng ran over to comfort Mu Fei, "It's okay, our strength is stronger than the opponent, it's just one goal. Aren't Australia, Iraq, and Qatar all defeated by us?"

Mu Fei smiled and nodded, but he was very clear that the loss was his responsibility, and he also knew that Li Weifeng was right, the Chinese team was indeed stronger than the opponent.

After conceding the goal, Li Guo was not in a hurry. New Zealand's strength was indeed too weak. Once the goal was conceded, the pressure on the Chinese team was relieved. As long as the mentality calms down, the Chinese team will score sooner or later.

The Chinese team's goal did not make the fans wait too long. Five minutes later, Zheng Zhi picked a pass behind New Zealand's defense, and Chen Gelin started 5 meters behind the opponent's central defender, but unexpectedly passed.

The speed of New Zealand's tall central defender is indeed too slow. Li Guo checked it visually, and the defender's 14 meters away is at least [-] seconds, which is really slow!

After overtaking, Chen Gelin pushed directly into the far corner. The New Zealand goalkeeper just made a symbolic save, and the ball went into New Zealand's goal.

"The ball went in!!"

Now the CCTV commentator in the commentary booth has jumped up excitedly. This is the first goal of the Chinese Men's Football Olympic Games, which is worth a thousand dollars.

After scoring the goal, Chen Gelin made a domineering kneeling celebration, and other teammates ran over to hug him. At this time, the camera showed the beautiful woman just now. She was crying with joy. Everything is difficult in the beginning, but the Chinese have another saying-good things take a long time.

Today, this sentence came true. After conceding a goal in the opening game and equalizing, the mentality of the Chinese team players has been completely relaxed. Facing this fully fired Chinese team, the New Zealand team also felt that something was wrong.

Their head coach was very experienced, and immediately let a midfielder drop back and started to play five backs. At this time, Li Guo laughed in his head. Needless to say, it must be the laughter from Allardyce.

"Big Sam, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I laughed at the opponent's head coach for being too stupid."

As soon as these words came out, sweat broke out on Li Guo's forehead.
