Godfather of national football

Chapter 354 The smell of gunpowder

In the press conference hall of the Cuiaba Pantanal Arena, the Chilean coach Sampaoli and Sanchez were sitting on the stage.

When talking about the first match against the Chinese team in the World Cup, Sampaoli looked very relaxed, "I know the Chinese are good at table tennis, but football doesn't seem to be their good sport."

"Don't you know that the Chinese team won the Olympic gold medal?" A reporter reminded.

Sampaoli laughed, "I remember that the Olympic football games are not under the banner of FIFA. At least if my players want to participate in the Olympic Games, I will definitely not allow them."

The implication is that winning the Olympic gold medal can prove anything?

Sampaoli is from Argentina, a football powerhouse. He seems to have the capital of arrogance. Of course, the Chinese reporters at the scene would be upset. Immediately, some Chinese reporters stood up and argued. Sampaoli pretended to be generous and shrugged, "Well, if my words are ambiguous, then I apologize."

But during the whole process, Sampaoli's expression seemed to say, "Glass heart."

Sanchez was more pragmatic. He focused on the game, "If we want to go further, we must win the first place in the group and avoid the Brazil team in Group A. In addition, we must win the game against the Chinese team."

Throughout the press conference, Chile seemed to feel that they had won. Chile is now known as the golden generation, with a strong lineup and no injuries. Their goal is to enter the quarter-finals. In addition, Sampaoli is also the kind of head coach with a strong personality, known for his hot temper.

When Li Guo appeared in the press room, he didn't know what happened half an hour ago, but after seeing the mournful expressions of the Chinese reporters, Li Guo guessed something, probably because he was offended.

Many big-name coaches in the world are contemptuous when talking about the Chinese team. For example, Mourinho once satirized Chinese reporters.

Li Guo first pointed to the Chinese reporter and asked him to ask questions. The Chinese reporter subtly recounted what Sampaoli said just now. Li Guo shrugged and smiled after listening.

"There are still such ignorant people now? Chinese people only know how to play table tennis? I checked and found that there is a Chinese team in the construction of this stadium, but I know that there is no stadium built by Argentines, because even the stadiums in Argentina were built by Chinese companies."

Today's reporters burst into laughter, and the atmosphere immediately turned up. Li Guo is trying to make trouble, so we must welcome it. How does the media survive?It's because of Li Guo's big mouth.

Then the reporter asked questions one after another, "Then you have the confidence to beat the Chilean team?"

"People who are capable don't brag at press conferences, but those who brag at press conferences are often guilty, so I won't answer this question, you can see the results."

Li Guo turned a corner and satirized Sangpaoli again, without a word of swearing, and without any violation.

The Chilean reporters at the scene couldn't listen anymore. They felt that it was necessary to maintain the dignity of their country. The Chilean reporters spoke with statistics and listed the glorious past in the history of Chilean football.

At first they thought that presenting the facts and reasoning would silence Li Guo, but obviously they underestimated Li Guo.

"If history is useful, then the World Cup only needs to be held once, and then we can invite some old people to come out and talk about history. Chile does not need to develop football, and the saved money can be used to build a museum."

Some people were snickering. Li Guo was eloquent. It was obvious that he was asking for trouble. Immediately, a smart reporter changed the subject, "Will the Chinese team stick to it in the first match?"

"No, I like offensive football, beautiful football, I want to score in the first game and bring happiness to Chinese fans."

"I heard that neutral Brazilian fans are going to boo you, are you afraid?"

Li Guo chuckled, with a mean smile, "I was just worried that there are too few Chinese fans who can come to Brazil. I suggest that the Brazilian fans who come to the scene can wear red jerseys, which will be more conspicuous."

I don’t know how many Brazilians greeted Li Guo’s mother in front of the TV. In the eyes of Brazilians, Li Guo is a complete nuisance.

At the end of the press conference, the reporter left with excitement and gratitude. Li Guo is their bread and butter. As long as there is Li Guo, there will be no news to write about.

Inside the underpants of CCTV, the feast of the rich and powerful families is going on, and the beautiful squid Liu has become a full-time member and officially joined the feast of the rich and powerful families.

The enthusiasm for the first match of the Chinese team is unprecedented. Because of the disappointment in 2002, the fans did not have too much hope in the last World Cup, for fear of being sad again.

You must know that the Koreans have been waiting for the first World Cup victory for 50 years. In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, the South Korean team played against Poland for the first time and won the first World Cup in team history.

To put it bluntly, since the Chinese team participated in the World Cup qualifiers for the first time, Chinese fans have waited for more than 30 years to win the first match.

Zhang Bin was eloquently introducing the upcoming game, Zhang Lu was still so calm, and issued ambiguous predictions (both teams have chances), and the beautiful squid Liu put on the Chinese team jersey.

The program team also invited the Chilean ambassador, and finally asked him to predict the upcoming game. The Chilean ambassador was very polite and predicted 1-0, and the Chilean team won.

Zhang Bin used a small gift as a bargaining chip and invited the audience to guess the result of the first game. A young man made a prediction, 2 to 1, the Chinese team won. Zhang Bin gave the small gift to the young man, and joked that if the prediction was wrong, he would take the initiative to return the gift tomorrow. We are live broadcasting, and now the audience all over the country knows you.

There will be some theatrical performances interspersed in addition to football. After 9 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Lu began to predict the starting lineup of the Chinese team. "It's hard to guess who Li Guo will employ. He changes from time to time and doesn't follow the routine."

In the end, Zhang Lu’s prediction was the same as the first game of the Confederations Cup last year, and then the Chinese team’s starting lineup was arranged in the virtual stadium. Then Zhang Lu also predicted the Chilean team’s starting lineup, basically based on the deduction during the warm-up match.

At the end of the show, Zhang Bin noticed that the hostess Liu Yuxi, who had been silent all this time, was reporting the transfer of the NBA after all, so he gave her a chance, "Liu Yuxi, what do you think of the Chinese team's first match?"

Liu Yuxi smiled and said, "Of course it's a big victory for the Chinese team."

Fortunately, Li Guo didn't watch this episode, otherwise Squid Liu's prediction would scare Li Guo to the ground.If the World Cup in South Africa achieved the octopus Paul, then the biggest star in the World Cup in Brazil is the squid Liu.
