Godfather of national football

Chapter 140 Goodbye Tahiti
When everyone thought that Chen Xiu was going to shoot with his right foot, Chen Xiu suddenly pulled the sole of his foot and missed the goalkeeper.

"Pretty," said Li Guo, clapping his hands.

This is not practiced in special training, but if a player only listens to the coach, it is stupid.

After passing the goalkeeper, Chen Xiu pushed lightly with his left foot. When the ball rolled towards the goal, the whole of New Zealand was quiet for a second, and then it was like an earthquake.

The ball is in!
in!

in!

But the Tahitian players did not celebrate, because the game was not over yet. After scoring the goal, the Tahitian players quickly returned to defense and set up a bucket formation just like in the first half.

New Zealand's commentator was stunned. The ball felt a bit like Manchester United. The pass-run cooperation was so tacit. He didn't believe his eyes or the Tahitian players could make such an exquisite cooperation.

"Let's see if the ball is offside,"

This is the only thing the New Zealander can contend for. In other respects, the ball has been perfected. Looking at the slow-motion replay, the New Zealander has nothing to say. Chen Xiu was not offside when he went forward.

Now all the pressure is on New Zealand, with less than 5 minutes to go, New Zealand must score or they will be knocked out by Tahiti.

The New Zealand players launched a crazy attack on Tahiti. This kind of pressure made the game feel suffocated at the last moment. The New Zealand players were crazy to score a goal, but the Tahiti players did not shrink back at this time, but defended in an orderly manner.

In particular, Chen Xiu still maintains the counterattack ability against New Zealand in the front, which is like a fishbone stuck in New Zealand's throat.

New Zealand's offensive routine is inherently single, coupled with an unbalanced mentality, so it is basically kicking randomly. It looks fierce, but it is actually not threatening.

Li Guo knew that Tahiti had won, and the most important thing in this two-round knockout match was away goals, which even decided the outcome.

New Zealand's biggest mistake was forgetting this, they didn't think that if Tahiti scored an away goal, it would be disastrous.

At this time, all the fans stood up to watch the game. When the fourth official raised the sign, there were still 3 minutes. This is likely to be the last 3 minutes of New Zealand in this World Cup qualifier.

"All up, all up,"

The New Zealand head coach replaced two forwards and one midfielder in one breath, and the formation became 343. This is a desperate style of play.

After several rounds of high-altitude bombing, the referee blew the final whistle, and the New Zealand players fell to the ground. They lost the game at home.

The whole Tahiti team embraced and celebrated, everyone shouted and danced. This is the greatest victory in the history of Tahiti football. Although Li Guo knew that their more glorious moment would come in 2013, it is indeed the moment of celebration for Tahiti football.

When the game ended, the New Zealand fans stood up and applauded Tahiti. Judging from the process, the Tahitians fully deserved this victory. So far, the Oceania qualifiers are over.

*****
After the game, the news that Tahiti eliminated New Zealand quickly occupied the international mainstream media, and even the FIFA official website congratulated Tahiti.

The head coach Eta Eta also went from nobody to the media darling. When interviewed by ESPN after the game, Eta Eta attributed all the credit to the players as usual. When asked about his prediction for the opponent in the play-offs, Eta Eta even said that he hoped to meet South Korea.

This answer almost made the reporter burst out laughing. No one knew that Li Guo was responsible for this. The reporters just thought that Eta Eta might have been dizzy with joy, South Korea?That's a much stronger team than New Zealand.

Because of the victory, the Tahitian players stayed in New Zealand for an extra night. The team held a celebration banquet at the resident that night. Li Guo, as the number one hero, naturally sat side by side with the head coach.

At the end of the celebration banquet, Li Guo announced a news that silenced everyone—I will return to Shanghai from Oakland with Ji Ke tomorrow, and I can’t go back to Tahiti with you. See you later.

Everyone knows that there will be such a day, but when this day comes, everyone is more disappointed than expected.

"Let's go, let's go," said Atani and left the restaurant, alone, followed by the goalkeeper.Chen Xiu didn't leave, but she drank cup after cup, as if trying to get herself drunk.

"My friends, don't be like this, it's not like I won't come back,"

Eta Eta said: "If I can get the same amount of annual salary as the Chinese Football Association gives you, will you stay?"

Li Guo smiled, "Boss, it's not about money."

Etta nodded, "Then I will take you to the airport tomorrow."

"No need, Ji Ke and I are not children."

"Well, good luck with that."

*****
When the Tahitian players made their triumphant return, the welcome crowds filled the streets and alleys, including Celine. When she saw her brother, she immediately rushed forward, "Brother, you did it, you are amazing."

The two siblings embraced for a long time, and after a while, Celine asked, "Where's Li Guo?"

Atani's face immediately sank,
"What's the matter? He has made so much contribution this time, and the people of the whole country should thank him very much."

"He's gone home, his suspension is over."

As soon as these words came out, Celine's eyes immediately became wet, "I knew he was a liar, he was a liar, and he said he would bid farewell to me face to face."

"Come on, Celine."

"Liar!" Celine ran away without looking back, crying as she ran.

Chen Xiu came over and patted Atani, "Your sister likes Li Guo, right?"

Atani shrugged, "I don't know about this either, anyway, I'll warn you not to think about my sister."

Chen Xiu smiled and waved her hands, "No, I dare not rob Li Guo of a woman."

Atani kicked Chen Xiu, "Fuck you."

"Speaking of Li Guo, I don't know why, but I miss him a lot," Chen Xiu said.

Atani said: "A true friend is not being together every day, but silently supporting him. No matter where Li Guo is, we are still friends."

Chen Xiu frowned and said, "Do you think we will meet the Chinese team led by Li Guo if we qualify for the World Cup?"

Atani chuckled, "We were all infected by Li Guo, and we dared to think about anything."

　I have something to do recently, so I can only keep two updates a day. I'm sorry everyone, and I will resume the third update as soon as possible.
