Godfather of national football

Chapter 154 Group of Death
Group of Death!

The media always likes sensational headlines, because such headlines can attract the audience's attention as much as possible.

After the lottery ceremony, Group D became the group of death and spread all over the world through the media, including Argentina, China, Côte d'Ivoire, and France.

The BBC commented that everyone in this group has a chance. This is not because the BBC is optimistic about the Chinese team, but because of historical reasons, the British do not like Argentina and France, so they said so on purpose.

However, most objective media still think that Argentina and France must have greater opportunities, while China and Côte d'Ivoire will become spoilers.

Sky Sports commented that the confrontation between Côte d’Ivoire and France can be said to be a confrontation between the French first team and the French second team. Due to historical reasons, most Ivorian players regard France as their first stop. Many of them still completed their youth training in France. The official language of Côte d’Ivoire is also French.

"We all remember the first match between France and Senegal in 2002, when Senegal, known as the French second team, defeated the French team, and we have reason to expect something like this to be repeated in South Africa."

Argentina's "Clarion" focused on the analysis of the match between China and Argentina. A year ago, Argentina lost to the Chinese team in the Olympics, and this kind of thing must not be repeated in South Africa next year.

"Argentina led by Diego is full of passion. Messi has become the leader of Barcelona and Argentina. I think we can easily beat the Chinese team this time."

France's "L'Equipe" reviewed the last World Cup. The French team hated Berlin's past, and then made their own comments on this World Cup. The champion must be the champion. The Brazilian team in 1998 was disappointed in the final. However, God gave the Brazilians a Hercules Cup four years later. This time it should be the French's turn.

The proud French feel that Argentina, China, and Côte d'Ivoire are not the opponents of the French team. As the French team, the only opponent is themselves.

"Our only enemy is ourselves, no one else can stop the French team."

The Chinese media expressed a bit of pessimism about the lottery. Not to mention France and Argentina, but Côte d’Ivoire. The big names in it are enough to make people despair. After all, the confrontation at the adult level is different from the confrontation at the Olympic Games.

However, the Chinese media did not underestimate themselves, and expressed their support for the national football team-taking dreams as horses and living up to their youth.

Chen An walked into Li Guo's room, "Fuck, Li Guo, why are you smoking?"

Li Guo twisted out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, "I don't smoke, I just light it up."

"Hehe, what's the matter with such an elegant hobby, is there anything bothering you?"

Li Guo has troubles. Many things are different in reality. The advantage of being a time traveler has gradually disappeared. In the previous life, the Chinese team did not participate in the World Cup in South Africa, so Li Guo does not know what will happen next.

After crossing, the only spiritual support is the national football team. If the results of the World Cup in South Africa are not good and I dismiss get out of class, what should I do?
Then life lost its purpose. In the previous life, Li Guo had many choices, but now Li Guo seems to have only a job as a football coach. This kind of pressure makes Li Guo very uncomfortable.

"Scared by the group of death?"

Li Guo chuckled, "Just a little bit, I'm not afraid it's a lie."

"Okay, Li Guo, let me ask you, what is your goal, or what is your bottom line for this World Cup?"

"I said the Hercules Cup, do you believe it?"

"Less nonsense,"

"Hehe, I think the group will qualify, my goal."

Chen An was silent, "That's not easy. If this group kills two, it's harder than going up the mountain of knives."

"That's why I'm depressed here."

"Li Guo, I've always had a doubt,"

"Say,"

"Remember the drunkenness two years ago? I feel that you have been different since that time, and you often talk to yourself, what big Sam, big Sam."

Li Guo stood up abruptly, "Could it be exposed?"

Before Li Guo could explain, Chen An said, "Li Guo, you are under too much stress, why don't you find a psychiatrist..."

"Hahaha," Li Guo laughed happily, it turned out that Chen An was thinking wrong.

"Talking to myself is a way for me to relieve stress. For example, some coaches like to walk up and down the sideline, such as Bielsa, and some coaches like to chew gum, such as Ancelotti. For example, Mourinho likes to draw back and forth in a small notebook, and I like to talk to myself."

Chen An bent down and stared at Li Guo, "Are you really not sick?"

"You have the disease!"

Chen Anle said, "Then I can rest assured."

"By the way, I want to tell you that there are still many teams that want to warm up with the national football team, especially the teams in the top 32 that are grouped with Asian teams. The national football team has become a sought-after warm-up resource for a while, and many teams are even willing to spend money."

"Spend money? How much?"

Seeing Li Guo's excited face, Chen An smiled and said, "Why are you so happy, this money is also for the Football Association, not for you."

"Hehe, no matter how much money I give, I don't have time to play with them. My goal is only one Spain,"

"By the way, Spain has almost reached an agreement, but the final venue has not yet been determined. The Spaniards hope to set it in Spain."

"Of course, the time zone of Europe is closer to that of South Africa. If it is arranged in China, the warm-up effect will be greatly reduced."

After talking about work, Chen An wanted to talk about some personal matters, "Li Guo, I want to take a leave of absence on New Year's Day, so I can go home and see my mother."

Talking about his family, Li Guo's eyes turned red, "You can see your mother, but I don't even know where to find my mother."

"Of course, go," Li Guo took out his credit card, "buy some gifts for the old man for me."

Chen An didn’t want it, but Li Guo insisted on giving it to him. In the end, Chen An had no choice but to accept it. New Year’s Day is coming, and 2010 is coming. The year of the World Cup, so many years have passed, and the passion of that year has been a little fuzzy.

This time it is estimated that there will definitely be vuvuzela, but it is hard to say whether Xiaobai's lore will exist.

No matter so much, at least this time Li Guo is a witness, not a bystander. Sometimes when I think about the past two years, I feel a little unbelievable, just like a dream. Mu Fei, Geng Chong, Yin Di, so many players were discovered by themselves.

I must accumulate enough points, buy Ferguson's experience, and become a world-class marshal to be worthy of my advantages as a time traveler, so that I can stand tall in this cruel world!
