Godfather of national football

Chapter 1 Rebirth
Accompanied by the screeching sound of brakes, he felt a burst of white light passing by before his eyes, and Li Guo couldn't remember what happened after that.

When he woke up again, Li Guo saw a piece of white. He took a closer look and saw that it was the ceiling. He forcibly propped up his body that seemed to be falling apart, and looked around, "What place is this?"

"Wife, mother,"

Li Guo remembered that yesterday was his 30th birthday, and his family booked a hotel. At 9:[-] in the evening, after dinner, Li Guo was about to go home. Li Guo drank some wine, but he felt that he was not drunk. Just like that, Li Guo drove home. When he got off the expressway around the city, a large truck suddenly came out from the opposite side. Li Guo didn’t remember anything after that.

"Thank goodness you're finally awake,"

The voice was very strange, Li Guo looked up, "Who are you?"

The strange man looked at Li Guo, turned around suddenly, "Doctor Ma, come and take a look."

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a white coat walked in, and he couldn't help but say that he wanted to check Li Guo's body.

"What's wrong with me? Also, where's my wife and my mother?"

"Wife? I said Li Guo, you are stupid to drink. I said you are too serious. If you can't drink, don't drink. What are you pretending to be a Liangshan hero?"

Just when Li Guo was puzzled, a newspaper on the bedside table made Li Guo quiet for a while, and saw that the time on the front page of the newspaper was-August 2007, 8.

"Now is 2007?" Li Guo thought to himself.

After half an hour, Li Guo understood that the strange plots in the online novels happened in reality, and he really traveled back and forth from 2016 to 2007. No, actually Li Guo didn’t know whether it was time travel back or to a parallel world. According to the theory of physics, parallel worlds are possible.

What's even more bizarre is that he has become the new head coach of the Chinese national team, and the reason why he is lying here now is because Li Guo got drunk at the celebration party for taking office and passed out.

"I'm dizzy, I need to rest, and who are you?" Li Guo asked the strange man in front of him.

"You have no conscience. We grew up playing games. After graduating from university, we participated in the Chinese Football Association's overseas coach training program. The two of us studied in Germany for 10 years. Have you really forgotten?"

The person who said this was "Chen An", who was Li Guo's younger brother. He looked at Li Guo's stupid look and was worried.

"Doctor Ma, can drinking really make people stupid?"

Dr. Ma shook his head, "It shouldn't be. Adults will be dizzy for a few days at most. Having said that, how much did you drink yesterday?"

As soon as these words came out, sweat broke out on Chen An's forehead. To be honest, he, Li Guo and the team from Germany played too crazy yesterday, and it was also because they were too happy.

Chen An looked at Li Guo who was on the hospital bed, and comforted him, "Then you should have a good rest. I will be left alone for work. Fortunately, the first match of the national team will be in October, and we still have time."

Li Guo nodded, all this was too strange to him, he had to digest it well.

After two days of studying and recalling, Li Guo fully understood that this place is 99.9% the same as in his previous life. China has risen and is a politically powerful, economically powerful, and military powerful country, but there is a slight difference.

That is the parallel world that Li Guo lives in now. China is still a football powerhouse. It may not be accurate to say that, but at least Chinese football is top-notch in Asia.

And the root of all these differences is actually very simple, it is only caused by a bottle of drink.

Jianlibao!
In his previous life, Li Guo was a die-hard fan and liked German football. Although Chinese football was not good, he often paid attention to it, so Li Guo knew very well that in the 90s, Chinese football had a Jianlibao plan, which was to send talented Chinese children to Brazil for youth training.

This plan was generally successful, and later cultivated a group of golden generations for China such as Li Tie, Li Jinyu, and Li Weifeng. These players led the Chinese team to the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan.

It is a pity that this plan did not persist in the end. Of course, there are many reasons, but in the world that Li Guo traveled through, the Jianlibao plan not only persisted, but also carried forward. It is this difference that makes a big difference.

Another difference is that in his previous life, Milu resigned after the 2002 World Cup, but in the world that Li Guo traveled to, Milu did not leave China until after the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

In the following year, the Chinese team was led by the interim head coach Gao Bo until August 2007, when the Chinese Football Association finally finalized the local head coach Li Guo in the global audition.

Li Guo is 42 years old and unmarried. After graduating from university, he participated in the overseas coach training program of the Chinese Football Association. He studied coaching courses systematically in Germany. The 1998 years after the 2008 World Cup in France and before the 10 European Cup were the worst 10 years for German football. Many Chinese coaches went to Brazil or Italy. Only Li Guo insisted on studying and coaching in Germany.

One year ago, Li Guo and his coaching staff had just resigned as the head coach of Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. After learning that Milu was going to retire bravely, Li Guo took his coaching staff back to China to apply for a job. After a year of hard work, Li Guo got his wish and became the new head coach of the Chinese national team.

It was also because this job was too difficult, so Li Guo was stupid at the celebration party, and what happened later.

When Li Guo understood everything, he walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window. The world was so familiar, but at the same time so strange. I remember when I was in college, my classmates would often joke about a philosophical question-"Who am I?"

But now Li Guo really wants to know, "Who am I?"

Time travel, football, the head coach, all of these made Li Guo's head hurt more than alcohol. At this moment, a strange accent came from his ear. He turned around and saw, shit, isn't this the Indian Ah San in "The Big Bang Theory"?What, you also crossed?

Taking a closer look, it was not Ah San in "The Big Bang Theory". Li Guo was a die-hard Bundesliga fan in his previous life, and he felt that the stranger in front of him seemed familiar. Finally, Li Guo seemed to remember something, and shouted at the stranger, "You are Robin Dutt from Leverkusen."

At this time, Robin Dutt said "Damn" from behind, "I said Li Guo, you can think of a foreigner, but forget your own hair, you are really heartless."

Of course it was Chen An who said this. Robin Dutt laughed and said with a unique Indian accent: "Li Guo, fortunately you are fine, otherwise I lost the job I just found."
