Godfather of national football

Chapter 114 Tahitian Encounter

Sunshine, beach, bikinis, if Li knew that the suspension was such a cool thing, then I really hope that the grandsons of the AFC will suspend me earlier.

Li Guo was lying on the beach, drinking an ice-cold martini, feeling really comfortable. This is Tahiti, a place as beautiful as heaven, and of course it is also the most expensive resort in the world.

For Li Guo, money is not a problem. Looking at the charming Tahitian beauty in the distance, Li Guo suddenly remembered a story he had read.

It is said that in the age of great voyages, Captain Cook of the United Kingdom led his fleet to sail in the Pacific Ocean. When passing through Tahiti, the local aborigines in Tahiti were very interested in foreign crew members, and what interested them most was a common thing in the civilized world-iron nails.

But the Tahitians had never been seen before, so at that time, only one nail was needed to spend a good night with Tahitian beauties. Later, the nails on the Cook fleet were almost removed.

Looking at the beautiful woman, Li Guo smiled knowingly. If he can travel to the age of great navigation next time, he must remember to bring a large box of iron nails before going to sea.

Just when Li Guo was in a daze, a football flew over and almost hit Li Guo. Li Guo knew that Tahiti was a beach football powerhouse and often entered the Beach Football World Cup.

Li Guo looked at the distance, and sure enough, someone was playing beach football, and he saw someone running over from a distance and said "I'm sorry".

Li Guo waved his hand, indicating that it's okay, but he didn't expect the other party to leave, Li Guo thought: "What's the matter? I'm waiting for you to eat."

"Are you Chinese?" the other party asked.

"Yup,"

Li Guo wondered, tourists here come from all over the world, why are you so interested in Chinese people.

"The Chinese are very powerful," the other party gave a thumbs up.

Li Guo is even more strange. This is Li Guo's ignorance. It turns out that the Chinese are very legendary in the Tahiti football circle. At that time, the Chinese player Gong Lei played in the Tahiti League for 6 years and was known as the Tahiti football king.

It is because of this that anyone who plays football in Tahiti knows the Chinese football king-Gong Lei.

After the other party explained, Li Guo chuckled, "I don't know about that, I'm the head coach of the Chinese national team."

The other party seemed to be struck by lightning, and immediately shook Li Guo's hand, "You are the head coach of the Chinese team."

It is estimated that in the eyes of the Tahitians, Chinese football is like a god. If the other party is a girl, it is estimated that they can get out of bed without nails.

Li Guo's forehead was sweating, "What did this guy eat to grow up, his hands are so strong, I almost broke my bones when I squeezed them."

"Okay, okay, can you tell me about how great the Chinese Gong Lei was back then."

As soon as this remark came out, the opponent immediately became like a treasure, starting with Gong Lei scoring 36 goals and becoming the top scorer in the league, then representing Tahiti in the French Cup (due to historical reasons, the Tahiti league champion can participate in the French Cup), and finally talking about the Tahiti national team recommending Gong Lei as the candidate for the World Footballer of the Year.

As he talked, Li Guo was very envious, and thought: "It seems easy to mess around in this small place. I will also coach Tahiti in the future, and the Tahitian girls..."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Atani and I'm with the Tahiti national team now,"

Li Guo nodded. Li Guo really doesn't know about football in this country. This is the desert of the football world. May I ask which Chinese have watched the Tahiti League?

"Li Guo, can I invite you to my house?"

"certainly",
Many friends have many paths. Li Guo and Atani returned to Atani's home. As soon as they walked into Atani's house, they saw things about football, posters, flags and so on on the wall.

"Are you a Marseille fan?"

Looking at the large number of posters about the Marseille club on the wall, Li Guo guessed it. Atani replied: "Yes, my dream is to play football in France."

"Then do you want to go to the World Cup?"

With a puff, Atani laughed, "Me? The World Cup? That's farther than going to the moon."

Li Guo also laughed. With Tahiti's strength, it is indeed impossible to play in the World Cup.

"By the way, the World Cup qualifiers on your side have also started."

Atani nodded, "But Tahiti doesn't need to participate in the first stage of qualifiers."

Through understanding, Li Guo realized that despite the fact that Oceania's football level is the last, it is really troublesome to be in the qualifiers.

A total of 11 teams from Oceania participated in the qualifiers, 7 directly participated in the second stage, and the remaining top 4 teams needed to participate in the first stage qualifiers. Samoa, Cook Islands, American Samoa and Tonga 4 teams played in the group stage, and the last ranked first advanced to the second stage.

In the second stage, 8 teams are divided into two groups, and Tahiti will participate at this time, and the top three in each group can advance to the third round.

In the third round, 6 teams will be divided into two groups for two rounds of home and away games, and No.1 in each group will advance.In the last round of the competition, the remaining two teams will decide the winner through two rounds of home and away games, and will be qualified for the playoffs with No.5 in Asia.

Is it complicated?

In fact, it is not. Just remember that the only possible qualifying teams among these fish belly are New Zealand and Tahiti. Other teams don’t even think about it, and the probability of New Zealand’s promotion is more than 95%, so it is very simple to say, right?
"MD, those bastards in the AFC just want the Chinese team to compete with New Zealand for the spot," Li Guo thought.

******
At dinner time, Atani was still the only one working in the room.

"do you live alone?"

Atani nodded, "My parents have immigrated to France. It is easy for Tahitians to immigrate to France. There are also many French here."

Li Guo nodded. In fact, Atani's English is awkward, and the official language of Tahiti is French.

"But I have my sister here tonight, don't you mind?"

Li Guo shook his head, "Of course not."

While speaking, someone shouted at the door, Li Guo turned his head to look, and was stunned.

"Beautiful, so beautiful!"

The beauties who came slowly held a surfboard in their hands, and their bronzed skin looked very healthy. This is a typical Tahitian beauty.

"Are there any guests at home?"

"Yes, guess who he is?" Before the girl could answer, Atani couldn't hold back, "He is from China, the country of the ball king Gong Lei."

The girl smiled, she knew that her brother was a football fanatic, and Gong Lei was his idol, the girl walked towards Li Guo, "Hi, my name is Celine (Sai ​​Lin)."
