Godfather of national football

Chapter 223 Fighting Qatar ([-])

After getting off the bus, Li Guo waved to a group of supporters, and then went straight to the entrance of the stadium, but when one foot had already stepped into the entrance of the stadium, Li Guo turned around and walked towards a cute little Chinese boy.

As soon as he got off the bus, Li Guo saw the little boy holding a pen in his left hand and a jersey of the Chinese team in his right. He was obviously here to try his luck and see if he could get the autographs of the national team players.

Li Guo signed his name on the jersey, then smiled and handed the jersey to the little boy, but the little boy burst into tears, and the lady beside him comforted him.

Li Guo was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, "What's wrong?"

The lady who was obviously the boy's mother said shyly, "Director Li, my son is here to find Zhou Dun."

Three black lines appeared on Li Guo's forehead, "Damn, so you dislike me." Li Guo touched the little boy's round head, "Just wait."

Li Guo turned around and took three steps to catch up with Zhou Dun, "Well, Zhou Dun, take off your clothes for me."

There was a buzzing sound in Zhou Dun's head, and his three views were immediately lifted, and he thought to himself, "What are you doing?"

Li Guo explained briefly, even the usually unsmiling Shifo Zhou Dun was amused, took out a spare jersey from his backpack, signed it and handed it to Li Guo.

After finding the little boy again, Li Guo handed him Zhou Dun's jersey. The little guy's face suddenly became cloudy, holding Zhou Dun's jersey in his arms, as if he had got a treasure.

"Then give me back my piece," Li Guo said.

Unexpectedly, the little boy said: "No, mom, let's put the one signed by Li Guo on Xbao and sell it. Brother Zhou Dun's is my collection."

Li Guo really wanted to say a hundred words, I'll kill you, but in the end he just pinched the little boy's chubby face, and said: "If you really like brother Zhou Dun, then go play football."

Doha Khalifa International Stadium, this stadium is full of bad memories for the former Chinese team.

The stadium is very modern. It is said that in order to prepare for the 2022 World Cup, the stadium will have to continue to be rebuilt. For local tyrants who are not short of money, this is trivial.

Unlike the last game against Kuwait when the stadium was empty, the entire stadium was full of seats in this game, and the whole stadium was completely white, and all men in Arab robes came to watch the game.Except for some AFC staff members, there are almost no women in the entire stadium.

The first ones to come out to warm up were Qatari players. I don’t know if it was specially arranged. The first player to play was the 2006 Asian Footballer of the Year, Karl Fan from Qatar. Is this a demonstration against the Chinese team?
The second one to come out is Qatar's top striker, Sebastian from Uruguay. If there is no accident, he must be the biggest threat to the Chinese team in this game.

The next player who played was also an old acquaintance, the Brazilian midfielder Fabio. Li Guo simply skipped this person. There are too many such midfielders in Brazil, and they are purely for nothing.

Li Guo, the player who played later, didn't know much about it. East Asians are generally face-blind to black ghosts, and they feel that black people all look similar.

But there is an unremarkable player who caught Li Guo's attention, that is Amid.

Because in the Asian Cup in the previous life, it was Amid's two-footed world wave, and the Chinese team lost to Qatar 0-2.

"It seems that we should pay attention to this guy," Li Guo thought to himself.

Then the players of the Chinese team came out, and there was a lot of boos on the spot. Ji Ke, Qu Bo, Zhou Dun, Mu Fei... the Chinese players came out one by one.

Seeing this posture, the Qataris at the scene understood that the Chinese team will expel all the main players today, and their momentum suddenly fell.

Chinese players and Qatari players warmed up at opposite ends of the pitch without interfering with each other, but players from both sides would glance at each other from the corner of their eyes from time to time.Before the game, Li Guo reminded his disciples that Qatar is definitely capable, and the players are all good players, but they have not been well-grounded, just like a shield and sword that has not been honed.

Such a team is commonly known as the nerve knife. In the previous life, Qatar lost 0-2 to Uzbekistan in the opening game, but in the quarter-finals they were able to push the subsequent champion Japan`s team into desperation. It can be seen that if you look down on Qatar, it must be the biggest mistake.

At this time, Qatar's head coach, Metsu, passed by Li Guo. Metsu smiled and said, "Li Guo, we are not France. You think highly of us."

"what?"

Metsu shrugged and said with a smile: "I saw the starting lineup, you obviously regard this as the World Cup."

At this time, the starting rosters of both sides have come out, and the Chinese team here is:
Goalkeeper - Wang Dalei.

Defense line - Mu Fei, Zhou Dun, Yin Di, Geng Chong.

Back midfielder - Fang Suo, Li Weifeng.

Avant-garde line - Lin Zhijian, Zheng Zhi, Shen Rui.

Single striker - Ji Ke.

This is the lineup for the World Cup. It seems a bit too extravagant to play in the Asian Cup, but Li Guo smiled and said: "In the first match of the 2002 World Cup, the French team underestimated Senegal, which you led, and suffered a big loss in the end. I can't follow in the footsteps of the French team."

Metsu laughed, thinking of that game, which made Metsu famous in the first battle. From then on, he is no longer an unknown rookie coach, but a magical coach that cannot be ignored.

"Li Guo, it must be very interesting to fight against you, I am looking forward to it."

Li Guo and Metsu shook hands tightly, the other's hand was a bit cold, maybe it was because of his poor health.

"I respect you a lot, but I won't show mercy this time," Li Guo said.

Metsu smiled slightly and said nothing more.

It is worth mentioning that the referee of this game is Korean, because of the special relationship between Li Guo and Korean, this also became a topic before the game.

Korean netizens clamored on the forum that the Chinese finally fell into our hands this time, and he was sentenced to several penalties, you are welcome.

Chinese netizens shot back sharply, "Damn, the World Cup depends on referees, and now even the Asian Cup depends on referees. Last time, I knew how to avoid suspicion and found an Ecuadorian. This time, why don't we just use a native?"

This time, the Koreans simply insisted, "Who bought the referee, what evidence do you have?"

"Evidence? Wasn't the Ecuadorian arrested?"

The Korean took out his trump card, "Let's wait until the Chinese team enters the semi-finals of the World Cup?"

"Let's wait until the Koreans don't bribe the referee."

The fans of the two countries were arguing, but it was all a joke. The referees arranged by the AFC should be fine. The Korean referee Kim Dong-jin was on the table, and the game was about to start.

PS: Just kidding, finally a person surnamed LI became the national football coach.

When I first saw this news, I was still very surprised, because it has been rumored that it was Manzano. It is said that Lippi has rejected the Football Association, so I was a little surprised when the news was announced.

This is definitely great news for Chinese football. I remember that when Lippi was successful at Evergrande in 2013, the Football Association contacted Lippi, but because of Lippi's tough personality and money issues, the two sides did not reach an agreement.

Since Lippi came this time, it means that the power has been delegated, otherwise it should be impossible to come with Lippi's character.

As long as Chinese football is managed by professional people, I am still full of confidence in the national football team, so be cautious and optimistic and hope for a miracle.
