Godfather of national football

Chapter 181

Since the infighting scandal broke out, the French team's base has been surrounded by reporters, like a shark smelling blood. Everyone wants to know what happened to the French team?
In fact, what happened to the French team at that time?No one is very clear, until many years later the media is still deciphering, pursuing, but one thing is clear, the instigator is three people - left back Evra, forward Anelka and coach Domenech.

Faced with the siege of the media, the French team was guarded by General Tie, who closed the training base and the hotel, and did not accept any filming or interviews.

The French Football Association has made it clear that, except for the regular press conference before the game, the French team will not accept any interview requests until after the last game of the group stage against the Chinese team.

The more this happened, the more excited the media became. They clearly knew that something ulterior must have happened within the French team, but they just couldn't know for the time being.

Today, when many media came to the French team's residence again, they were surprised to find that the news van of L'Equipe was gone.

This is the most important sports media in France and even in Europe. They were also the first media to report the infighting in the French team. Why did they suddenly disappear?

Soon, the well-informed media got the news that the reporter from L’Equipe had not disappeared, but had gone to another place—the residence of the Chinese national team.

After getting this news, everyone slapped their heads and suddenly realized that since they can't get anything here, of course they should go to Li Guo. Li Guo has a big mouth and speaks without restraint. The whole world knows this. It must be very interesting to ask Li Guo to talk about his views on this matter.

"L'Equipe want to interview me?"

Chen An nodded, "We've arrived at the gate of the national team's residence. I'll let the reporter wait in the lobby. It depends on what you want."

Li Guo smiled lightly, "What do you think?"

Chen An seemed very cautious, "I can probably guess what you're thinking, Li Guo, to disturb the opponent's morale, but I'm worried about three things."

"Tell me."

"First, L'Equipe is a French media after all. We don't know what their intentions are. Second, I'm afraid of violating FIFA's regulations. Third, it's a matter of public opinion. After all, it's always the actions of villains."

Li Guo stood up after listening, smiled and said: "Chen An, do you know why you can only be my assistant?"

Chen An blushed and did not answer.

"Because you think too much, there are so many twists and turns, go, we will go to the French."

*****
Li Guo and the reporter from L'Equipe met at the coffee shop of the hotel. Li Guo said that he would not accept filming or recording, but only interviews. The final manuscript had to be read by Li Guo before it could be published. The reporter from L'Equipe was a bit embarrassed at first, but finally agreed.

"Hello, let me introduce myself first, my name is Frank,"

Li Guo thought that there should be a lot of people named Frank in France, and now Ribery in the French team is called by this name.

"Call me Li Guo."

Frank nodded with a smile, "You must have read the report on the French team in L'Equipe."

Li Guo pretended not to know anything, "I haven't seen it, what happened?"

Frank's heart tightened, "This Li Guo is really a thief," so he could only tell the whole story. The French said that the French team had internal strife, which felt a bit strange.

Li Guo listened with relish, and in the end he almost said that the mourning had changed.

"I'm sorry what happened to the French team."

Chen An on the side snickered, this Li Guo is really getting better at pretending, and he can change his career to become an actor in the future.

Li Guo pretended to be distressed, "You are a French reporter and I am a Chinese coach. Let's talk about the internal strife in the French team. Is that okay?"

"It's nothing bad. L'Equipe is not just a French media. We have influence all over the world. We will not favor the French team."

This is what Li Guo wanted, so don't blame me for being too poisonous later on.

"Can you share your thoughts on the matter?" Frank asked.

Li Guo crossed his hands, "With all due respect, it was a huge mistake for the French Football Association to choose Domenech. Domenech has no vision, no tactics, and no brilliant resume. If I were Nicolas, I would have drawn him a long time ago."

Fuck me, Frank's three views were lifted, this Li Guo lived up to his reputation, he was very fierce when he fired.

"Then who do you think is suitable to be the head coach of the French team?"

Li Guo looked thoughtful, and then said: "You know Deschamps or Zidane, you know, you French people are disorganized and undisciplined, and you are used to being free and undisciplined. Without a strong head coach, you can't suppress it at all."

Frank sweated on his forehead, and quickly changed the subject, "Does that mean you have the confidence to beat the French team?"

"Don't fool me, I didn't say that, it depends on the specific situation, if Domenech has completely lost the trust of the players, then..."

Li Guo stopped talking.

"If not, what if it's just a few people making trouble?" Frank asked.

"If it were me, I would show my cards right away. Don't wait until after the World Cup. I would rather sacrifice a World Cup and maintain the discipline of the team, because for a team, discipline is more important than results."

"That is to say, to expel the troubled players?"

Li Guo nodded, "Of course, and it will be suspended."

Frank was sweating again, this time even he couldn't say anything, Li Guo said cleanly, "You told me to tell the truth, and the truth is like this, whether you want to listen or not."

Li Guo went on to make an analogy, "It's like a person is sick. It may be painful to treat as soon as possible, but if you delay it, you may miss the best time for treatment."

Frank couldn't help but slammed the table, realized his rashness, and said sorry.

"Li Guo, you are right. French football cannot go on like this. We need to change."

After chatting for a few more words, Frank got up to leave. Li Guo and Chen An walked to the door. After watching Frank leave, Chen An smiled, "Li Guo, you succeeded."

Li Guo laughed. In the West, the power of the media is infinite. As long as L'Equipe can report as much as possible, the conflicts of the French team will be like a volcano erupting. Li Guo knew that the last conflicts of the French team in his previous life were not hidden, but it was said that it was because of an insider.

"Okay, we can only take care of other people's affairs here. Now the most important thing is our own side. Li Weifeng is suspended for the third game. We have to re-coordinate a lot of tactics. There is a long way to go, Chen An."

Chen An laughed again, "Damn, Li Guo, you really set up a leadership chart for me."
