Godfather of national football

Chapter 37 Zenit St. Petersburg

Bayern Munich lost 0 to 4 to Zenit St. Petersburg. When Li Guo saw the news on the Internet, he felt very calm. Just like in his previous life, Bayern suffered a disastrous defeat in the UEFA Cup semi-final in 2008.

This game means Kahn's curtain call and Heathfield's curtain call, but what Bayern fans don't know is that their upcoming new season will be an even more failed year, and Klinsmann will become the most failed head coach in Bayern's history.

Originally, this "old news" was just Li Guo's attempt to prove that time travel would not change everything, but a photo from the news scene caught Li Guo's eyes. The photo was taken of two people on the Zenit bench. The big card on the left is the Ukrainian star "Tymoshchuk" who was later transferred to Bayern Munich.

Beside Tymoshchuk, the one who was whispering was very strange and looked like a Chinese face, but Li Guo was not sure if he was Chinese.

Due to historical reasons, the residents of the Russian Far East are of the same race as the Chinese, so it is not surprising that there are "Chinese faces" in Russian teams.

But Li Guo is a coach who will never let go of any details. He immediately found Chen An and asked him to check who the person next to Tymoshchuk was in the photo.

Soon, Chen An found out that the young man was indeed Chinese. He was born in 1989 and his father was in the 90s. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the group of losers, that is, people who came to Russia from China to do small business, later developed in Russia.

"What's your name, and what's your position?"

"My name is Shen Rui. He has played as a winger, a striker, and a full-back. He is not the main player in Zenit," Chen An replied.

"Well, buy me a plane ticket, I'm going to St. Petersburg."

*****
St. Petersburg, the city of heroes in Russia, this great city has a lot to do with the great Peter the Great in Russian history. There are many monuments in the city, many of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Needless to say, there are all kinds of Russian girls, but Li Guo didn’t stop at the world heritage, nor did he look at the girls, but for a touch of blue, yes, that touch of blue is the color of Zenit’s home jersey.

The best way to test players is to watch the game, and it must be an official game. Li Guo has already bought tickets for the match between Zenit and Lokomotiv Moscow.

After getting the tickets, Li Guo wants to experience the football atmosphere in St. Petersburg, and the best place to go is definitely the local fans bar.

In Russian cities, the signs on the streets are all in Russian and rarely in English, but football is very simple and can be distinguished by color. For example, in Manchester, it is impossible to mix any blue in the Manchester United-themed bar.

So as long as he finds that touch of blue, Li Guo believes that he can find the most passionate Zenit fan bar.

Soon, at an inconspicuous place on the corner of the street, Li Guo found the purest blue color and walked into the bar. A group of people were watching the game. When he got closer, Li Guo found out that it was a video of the UEFA Cup match in midweek.

"Long live Zenit,"

A big Russian man shouted and kissed the team emblem on his jersey. At this time, no one noticed Li Guo's arrival, except the owner of the bar.

Perhaps in order to welcome tourists from all directions, the boss can speak a little English, "Chinese friends?"

Li Guo nodded.

When you come to Russia, you must drink vodka. Li Guo asked for a small glass of vodka, and the boss asked, "Is it pure?"

Li Guo made an OK gesture, took the vodka from the boss, and Li Guo drank it down in one gulp, feeling very strong, just like the Russian nation.

After drinking, Li Guo chatted with the boss. The boss is Sergey, a native of St. Petersburg and a die-hard Zenit fan.

"Nice game," Li Guo pointed to the LCD TV beside him.

"Yes, I didn't expect us to win against Bayern. It should be said that before the game, I thought it would be fine as long as we don't lose too much. After all, the opponent is a giant in the Bundesliga."

"But this is football. The outcome of football is not purely based on strength."

"My Chinese friend, you also like football?"

"Understand a little,"

"That's great, let's have another drink, I'll take this one." Sergey filled it up for Li Guo without waiting for Li Guo's consent, and Li Guo still drank it down.

"I heard that Zenit has a Chinese player,"

"Yes, our number 7,"

"Our No. 7?" Li Guo repeated this sentence in his heart. He knew the meaning of this sentence, just like Manchester United fans would say: "Our Rooney."

"Is he very powerful?" Li Guo asked.

"How should I put it, he is not Zenit's superstar, but he can surprise us at critical moments."

"What kind of surprise?"

"Surprise like Beckham, that's why I say he's our number seven."

So, it seems that Shen Rui's free kick skills should be very good, and it is a banana ball like Beckham.

At this time, there was cheering in the bar. It should be Zenit's goal. Li Guo turned his head and saw that Kahn's bewildered expression made people sigh, "By the way, since Shen Rui is so good, why didn't he play in this game, not even a substitute."

Sergey smiled, and then proudly said: "Shen only plays when the game is not going well. He is Zenit's super substitute. There is an interesting statistic. Shen will definitely score when he comes off the bench, but if he starts, Shen will score very few goals."

"Fuck, Solskjaer in China."

Everyone knows that Solskjaer of Manchester United is a famous super substitute in the history of world football.

In this way, Li Guo is looking forward to the weekend's game even more, and he has to take a good look at Shen Rui's performance then.

On Saturday, Petrovsky Stadium, a modern stadium with a capacity of only more than 2 people, was full of seats. Li Guo found his seat and sat down. After sitting down, he found that there was a Russian man on his left, but the seat on his right was empty.

Taking a casual glance at the surrounding situation, there are really no vacant seats in this stadium except for this one seat. At this moment, someone came over, and before Li Guo raised his head, a familiar voice came, "What a coincidence, Coach Li Paopao, we meet again."

At this time, Li Guo saw the other party clearly, and four words popped up in his heart-"I'll fuck it."
