Godfather of national football

Chapter 10 Figueroa in China

On the first night in Chile, Li Guo slept well, but Chen An suffered from insomnia. He often saw news of gun battles on the streets of South America at night on TV, so Chen An woke up several times a night.

The next day, Li Guo asked someone to buy scalper tickets for a Chilean autumn league match on the weekend. The two sides were Santiago Rangers VS University of Chile.

Universidad de Chile is a traditional strong team in the Chilean First Division, so this game will be very interesting.

The price of two scalper tickets is 9 Chilean pesos, which is equivalent to about 8 RMB, which can be said to be a very high price.

Chen An still doesn't understand why Li Guo is suddenly interested in the Chilean league. Although the level of Chilean football is very good, there seems to be nothing to watch in Chile's domestic league, and there is no very good result in the Copa Libertadores.

On the weekend, the two came to the "Prea Ancha Stadium", the home stadium of the San Diego Rangers. This is an open stadium. In South American countries, such an open stadium occupies the mainstream, mainly because of money. The construction and maintenance costs of such a stadium are relatively low.

When the two sat down, they happened to meet a peddler with a satchel on his back, which reminded Li Guo of China in the 90s. At that time, there were many hawkers along the street. Li Guo called the hawker over and bought two hot dogs.

Before the start of the game, the scene was full, and the enthusiastic Chileans began to shout, and the atmosphere in the stadium was very hot.

"Yes, this is what I want," Li Guo said to himself.

"What?" Chen An asked.

"Look, Chile's stadiums are much worse than ours in China, but their fans are much more enthusiastic than ours. What I want is this kind of atmosphere. I hope that Chinese fans will also be crazy about football in the future."

Chen An nodded, "But fan culture needs to be formed for a long time."

"Then start with our generation."

While the two were talking, the players had already come out of the player tunnel, and Li Guo saw the last Chinese face walking on the San Diego Rangers from a distance.

"it's him,"

Chen An took a look. The number on the back of that guy was No. 5. He looked cool. Although he looked like a Chinese, he also had a South American temperament. The most typical thing was his hair, which was a typical South American style, or the style of Latin countries. For example, Ramos in Spain was neither long nor short.

"Chinese?" Chen An asked.

"Yes, a native of Guangzhou. He traveled across the ocean with his parents and came to Chile when he was young. His Spanish name is Marc Vega, and his Chinese name is Zhou Dun."

Chen An recalled that it was said that in next year's Olympic Games, the one representing China in the equestrian events is a Chinese-English mixed race. His father is Chinese, his mother is British, and his name is Huatian.
After the start of the game, Chile's traditional strong team Universidad de Chile had an overwhelming advantage, which put great pressure on the Rangers' defense led by Zhou Dun.

Li Guo turned on his coaching assistance system and began to glance at Zhou Dun. Zhou Dun was 185cm tall and was born on April 1988, 4. The first thing that appeared was some basic information. What Li Guo cared most about was Zhou Dun's ability and potential.

When Li Guo saw these two statistics, he felt happy. Zhou Dun's ability value was 75. As a 19-year-old player, such ability value is very good, but what is even more astonishing is that Zhou Dun's potential value is as high as 90.

If it was in the game, such a player could be called a monster. Li Guo suppressed his inner excitement and continued to observe Zhou Dun.

Li Guo knows that his coaching assistance system can only provide initial help, and there are too many factors that determine whether a player is successful.

As a central defender, the most important thing is the sense of position, not physical condition. For example, Cannavaro of Italy, if he fights his body, he is short even among Japanese players, but Cannavaro can win the World Footballer as a defender. The most important thing is his unparalleled sense of position.

The sense of position is very simple to explain, that is, to appear in the right position at the right time, but it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do it. The stadium is so big and the situation is changing rapidly. How can we appear in the right position?
On the one hand, this requires talent, and on the other hand, it also requires a strong learning ability. Li Guo carefully observed Zhou Dun and found that Zhou Dun was always watching from left to right when the opponent was in possession of the ball, and adjusted his position from time to time, always keeping parallel with other players in the back line.

Li Guo observed for a while, preparing to test Chen An, "What do you think of him?"

"Very good. As a central defender, he has a good sense of position. By the way, how old is he?"

"19 years old,"

Chen An was a little surprised. He and Li Guo had also coached the youth team of the club in Germany. You must know that it is difficult to train a central defender.

"Talent."

"I want to call him into the national team," Li Guo said.

"Is he still Chinese?"

"Yes."

"But...," Chen An hesitated.

"But what?"

"Would he like it?"

Li Guo is full of confidence, "Do you think there will be people who don't want to participate in the Olympic Games next year?"

This is true. Although the Olympic football competition is not as good as the World Cup, for many young players, participating in the Olympics is still a dream.

When the two were discussing how to deal with Zhou Dun, cheers came from the stadium. Looking up, the San Diego Rangers scored a goal, and it was their number 5, Zhou Dun, who scored the goal.

It turned out that this was a corner kick, Zhou Dun inserted an assist to grab the point, and scored with a header from the front.Seeing this scene, Chen An laughed out loud. The current trend in football is all-rounders. This was pioneered by Barcelona. Defenders not only need to be able to defend, but also have the ability to step up to grab points when the team gets a set kick.

"It's still a guard with a knife," Chen An said with a smile.

"By the way, how did you find him? Can your informant introduce me?"

Li Guo's forehead was sweating, "I'm sorry, my informant is a little shy."

"Cut," but Chen An still felt strange. Since Li Guo got drunk that day, a lot of changes seemed to have taken place. The changes were very subtle, and Chen An couldn't explain clearly, but he just felt that many things were different, and he couldn't say exactly what it was.

After watching the game, Li Guo patted Chen An, "You stay and deal with Zhou Dun with the people from the consulate. I'm going to Brazil."

"Where?"

"Saint Paul,"

Chen An's expression was a little serious, "I said Li Guo, there's no need to fight like this."

"Why is it unnecessary? The top 20 will start in February next year, and the Olympic Games will start in August next year. There is not much time left for Chinese football."

As a time traveler, Li Guo knew very well that in his previous life, Chinese football began to regress after 2006, and he must not let this happen again.
