Godfather of national football

Chapter 202 Battle against the Netherlands ([-])
De Jong, who had done bad things, walked away silently. Maybe it was because he did too many bad things, and he became confident. But at this moment, De Jong suddenly jumped forward, and he fell like a dog. He turned his head and looked even more angry. It turned out that he was kicked.

Of course it was Li Guo who kicked De Jong. Li Guo loved his soldiers like a son, and Li Guo felt very sad when his players were blacked out.

De Jong got up and was about to have a PK with Li Guo, but Van Bommel grabbed De Jong in time, but the two were still reluctant.

You may be wondering, where did the referee go?
The referee is still on Chen Gelin's side, and the injury seems to be serious. The team doctor has already put on a breathing mask for Chen Gelin, and the stretcher on the other side has also entered the field.

"I'm telling you, it's endless, you trash," Li Guo scolded De Jong.

"Let me go, you let me go,"

But Van Bommel knew that as soon as he let go of his hand, the Dutch team would be disastrous. At this time, even the assistant coach of the Dutch team ran into the field to persuade them to fight. Everyone joined forces and finally persuaded Li Guo and De Jong to leave.

The situation calmed down, and the referee finally freed up his hands to deal with De Jong and Li Guo. When the referee showed a bright red card to De Jong, Li Guo was surprised, "Did I change history?"

Li Guo remembered that in his previous life, no matter how bad de Jong was in the World Cup in South Africa, he did not get a red card in the end.

"Since I changed the history of De Jong not receiving red cards, can we also eliminate the Dutch team?"

Just as Li Guo was dreaming, the referee pointed at him and pointed at the stands. Obviously, Li Guo was also sent off.

To be precise, he went back to the locker room, or went up to the stands. Li Guo smiled. In fact, it was normal. It would be abnormal if the referee didn’t punish him. As a head coach, rushing into the field and fighting with the opponent’s players, this is definitely a red card.

Throughout the world of football, only Maradona and Li Guo can do such a thing. Li Guo reached out and wanted to shake hands with the referee, but the referee refused, his eyes were firm, and his fingers clearly pointed to the outside of the field.

Li Guo didn't go to the stands immediately, but went back to the player tunnel with the medical team. Seeing Chen Gelin's appearance, Li Guo was very worried.

"Doctor, what's the initial diagnosis?"

"Calf fracture, whether there is a fracture in the ankle still needs an MRI examination."

This time Li Guo didn't ask how long it would take to recover, because after thinking about it, he knew that it was not a short-term recovery.

The ambulance was ahead, and Li Guo still needed to stay and watch the game. Li Guo said to Chen Gelin: "Don't worry, we should have advanced to the top 8 when you come back, I promise."

Chen Gelin squeezed out a smile and nodded.

Watching the ambulance leave, Li Guo thought to himself: "Since it is guaranteed, it must be done."

*****
In the stands, the Chinese team had already changed players. Qu Bo replaced Chen Gelin, and Chen An stood on the sidelines as the temporary head coach.

There were no substitutions in the Dutch team, and Van Marwijk did not change the team's style of play because he was sent off a defensive midfielder.

Li Guo looked at the time, because Chen Gelin was injured that time, it is estimated that there will be more stoppage time in the first half, but the full play is only 10 minutes, as long as the first half is over, the Dutch team has one less player, and they are not hard-working. In the second half, their physical fitness will definitely decline, and the Chinese team will be better by then.

Li Guo looked down at Van Marwijk, and saw the white-haired old man whispering something to his assistant, probably discussing something, did he find a flaw in the Chinese team?
Yes!

Van Marwijk was a thief, he could see it, Feng Xiaoting, who was new to the Chinese team in this game, was careful when he took the ball, and passed back at every turn.

Van Marwijk immediately passed on the latest instructions to the court, that is, when the Chinese team got the ball, press down on Feng Xiaoting.

The Dutch team has made changes, but the Chinese team doesn't know yet. Although Li Guo has a vague feeling that the Dutch team is planning something, he doesn't know exactly what it is.

"Feng Xiaoting!"

The voice was very familiar, it belonged to Allardyce, Li Guo was surprised and delighted, "Big Sam, do you have good ears?"

"No,"

"Then how do you know that?"

"Because I'm an excellent football coach!" Allardyce looked a little angry.

After being reminded by Allardyce, Li Guo also noticed that Feng Xiaoting was very cautious when holding the ball. He basically didn't dare to protect the ball, and he didn't dare to confront the opponent.

"Even Allardyce and I can find that Feng Xiaoting is a soft persimmon, so what about the opponent?" Li Guo was sure in his heart that the whisper between Van Marwijk and the opponent just now was because he discovered the weakness of the Chinese team's midfielder.

Li Guo doesn't blame Feng Xiaoting. Football is played hard. You can't expect a rookie to be calm and confident in the first World Cup knockout match.

"Let's find a way to inform Chen An," Allardyce said.

Li Guo shook his head, "No need."

"why?"

Li Guo knows Chen An very well. Chen An is a person who lacks his own opinions and is easily at a loss. What's more, the Chinese team has no one to replace.

"No one can change," Li Guo replied simply.

Allardyce was also silent, but he ignored this point, "Forget it, then I'll go to bed."

*****
When the Chinese team took the ball, Zheng Zhi lost his calmness in the past. The Dutch team's biting press made it difficult for Zheng Zhi to hold the ball in the midfielder position.

Li Weifeng stepped forward to meet Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi could only catch his breath after the ball was out, and then Li Weifeng gave the ball to Feng Xiaoting.

Suddenly the frontcourt players of the Dutch team seemed to be red-eyed. Robben, Van Persie, Van Bommel, and Sneijder all joined together.

Feng Xiaoting panicked, the safest way was to pass back to the goalkeeper, turned around and passed back, but after the ball was out, Feng Xiaoting realized that Wang Dalei hadn't come out at all.

"Oh my god, Feng Xiaoting's return pass is too weak," Zhan Jun exclaimed.

The ball was passed to no man's land, but Robben, who was extremely fast, quickly caught up and dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Peter Pan was very stable this time. He waded through Wang Dalei and then pushed to the empty goal. He completed the shot in the safest way.

1 is better than 0!

Li Guo looked at his watch. It was a little over 45 minutes into the first half, and the Chinese team still failed to hold the first half.

After losing the ball, Li Weifeng didn't run to Wang Dalei, but ran to Feng Xiaoting, without saying anything, just grabbed his head.

Sun Jihai, who was on the bench, also stood up and yelled at the court to resist. Fang Suo ruthlessly kicked the water bottle at his feet. If he was more careful in the game, he would not be suspended.

Li Guo saw all this, he left the stands early and waited in the player tunnel.
