Godfather of national football

Chapter 288 Noisy warm-up stepping on the field

The Pernambuco Arena in Recife is located in a river bend. This new stadium built for the World Cup in Brazil is very similar to the style of the Premier League. The shape of the stadium is square, and the colors of the stands are also very bright.

The stadium can accommodate more than 4 people. Today's attendance rate is not bad, reaching 50%. It is estimated that most of the people who bought tickets came to see Italian stars.

Li Guo is well-informed, but he still thinks this stadium is very special. The only stadium Li Guo has seen built along the river before is the home of Bundesliga Werder Bremen. Like the Pernambuco Arena, it happens to be at the bend of the river.

The first to run out of the player channel was Italy's first brother, goalkeeper Buffon.

Buffon's name was the one that fans yelled the most as the Italian team bus drove to the pitch.

There are many classic saves in Buffon's career, but the most classic may be the close-range header saved by Zidane in the overtime of the 2006 World Cup final.

After Buffon came out, he first saluted the fans, then ran to the goal and warmed up with the cooperation of the goalkeeper coach.

The second most popular player in Italy should be Pirlo. Pirlo, nicknamed Sleepy, is an elegant classicist on the court. His style of play will make people miss the era when there were many masters, such as the era of Platini.

But Pirlo is not the second Italian player to appear on the court, followed by some junior players in the Italian team, Montolivo, Giovinco, Shalawi and others.

Balotelli was still in the Italian starting list that everyone saw before the game, but Balotelli did not come out to warm up for a long time.

After Italy, members of the Chinese team also appeared on the field. Li Guo was the first to appear in the stadium, still smiling, and greeted the fans in the stands.

"How can there be such a thick-skinned person," said a Brazilian female fan in the stands.

"Yes, he seems to enjoy being scolded by us. It's so annoying to see his expression."

"I'm too lazy to boo him. If there is an award for the thickest skin in the World Cup, it must be this guy named Li Guo."

The only advantage of Li Guo's waving is that everyone stopped booing. Many people started a cold war with Li Guo. Seeing that the effect was almost the same, Li Guo returned to his coaching bench.

After Li Guo, Prandelli came out, still dressed in a very elegant manner. Prandelli is most famous not for football, but for his steadfast love story with his sick wife. He smiled at Li Guo and walked back to his coaching bench.

What followed was the starting 11 players of the Chinese team in this game.

Goalkeeper - Wang Dalei.

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

Back waist——Fang Suo, Chen Deng.

Avant-garde line - Lin Zhijian, Pu Shuang, Qu Bo.

Single striker - Chen Gelin
In this game, Li Guo changed two players on the front line, Park Shuang and Qu Bo started the game, which also implied that Li Guo never set a tie with Italy as his goal.

Seeing Ji Ke drooping his head, Li Guo asked, "What's wrong? It looks like he's been beaten."

Ji Ke said: "The substitute vest is ugly."

Li Guo chuckled, he knew that Ji Ke would like to participate in the match against a world-class team like Italy, but in Li Guo's 4231 system, there is only one forward, that is Chen Gelin.

"Do you know why you were not allowed to start?"

"I know, my shooting skills are poor."

Li Guo was surprised, so you really knew, "Then what else do you have to say."

Ji Ke became confident, "The domestic youth training is poor, what can I do?"

Li Guo thought to himself: "If you don't fight for three days, go to the house to expose the roof tiles, this Ji Ke is getting bolder now, and he has learned to talk back."

But Li Guo is a reasonable person. He patiently said to Ji Ke, "Ji Ke, let me explain to you that poor skills are not an honorable thing in today's football."

"Know Gomez from Germany?"

Ji Ke nodded.

"In the past, a player like Gomez was very popular, with poor skills, but he was strong and could handle it in the penalty area, so Bayern was willing to pay 3000 million euros for him."

"But it doesn't work now. Now the technical requirements for players are becoming more and more delicate, so Bayern wants Lewandowski, and is even willing to send Gomez away at a loss."

"Head, what do you mean, I'm Gomez and Chen Gelin is Lewandowski?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

Ji Ke felt depressed. He remembered what the youth training coach said to his father back then, "What kind of skills do you want? Just Ji Ke's body, that's the German Jankel."

When Ji Ke and Li Guo were talking, there was a burst of cheers, and then Mario, Mario, Mario rang out.

"Mario? When I talk about Mario, I think of the plumber in the game," Ji Ke said.

Since his debut, Balotelli has done many famous things, such as throwing jerseys in front of Inter fans, scolding fans, provoking the media, and his ex-girlfriends who are real and fake, but he is most famous for his performance in the European Cup last year.

One was thinking about life in the group match against Spain, and the other was a siege against Germany in the semi-finals, and then undressed to celebrate.

After thinking about it, Li Guo said, "When Balotelli performs well, no one can beat him. If he performs poorly, he is not as good as Ji Ke."

Ji Ke's face immediately turned green, "Head! You!"

Li Guo was surprised, "Did I accidentally say what was in my heart?" Ji Ke was almost heartbroken, this was the second blow.

Turning around, there are actually quite a few Bashen fans at the scene, especially more female fans. It is estimated that Bashen became famous in the European Cup last year. They were either holding the slogan "why`always`me" or Mario's sign.

At the same time, Zhou Dun is also paying attention to Balotelli. Later, Zhou Dun will be defending Bashen on the Chinese team.

After stepping on the field for half an hour, the players returned to the player tunnel. At the same time, another game between Brazil and Tahiti also finished warming up and was ready to start. Most of the TV stations in Brazil broadcast live images of the two games at the same time.

The live score over there will also be updated in real time in the stadium here. As long as there is enough goal difference over there, the Brazilian fans here will feel at ease.

Players from both sides step on the field. After this game, will the Chinese team leave the Confederations Cup, or will Italy return home, or will the two teams join forces to defeat Brazil?
There will be a final answer after 90 minutes.
