Godfather of national football

Chapter 4 Coach Assistance System
"What's the matter, old Feng, I was so angry early in the morning," said the chairman, Cai Hua.

"You can read it yourself," said Director Feng and threw a stack of newspapers on the desk.

Chairman Cai just glanced at it. In fact, he heard yesterday that Li Guo offended the national media at the press conference. Now Li Guo is the public enemy of the national media.

"Someday these media won't blackmail the national football team, what are you doing?"

Director Feng has a lot of power in the Football Association. It can be said that he is second only to the chairman Cai Hua. You may find it strange that the second only to the chairman is not the vice chairman?But it is not. Although the Football Association has separated from the General Administration of Sports, the General Administration still retains its position in the Football Association, and Director Feng is a member of the General Administration.

He is different from Cai Hua. Cai Hua represented China in the Olympic Games and won the gold medal. It can be said that he is a capable person, while Director Feng is a theoretical school. Cai Hua likes powerful people, while Director Feng likes obedient ones.

So Director Feng has always disliked Li Guo, and firmly prevented Li Guo from becoming the head coach of the national football team. More importantly, Li Guo even showed him face in public.

"Old Cai, I have long said that Li Guo is no good. We Chinese have no modesty at all. He is simply a Chinese version of Mourinho."

"Is Mourinho not good? I think it is enough to achieve results. A great man said that it doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat."

Director Feng choked on this sentence. He couldn't refute what a great man said, and he couldn't say that Mourinho couldn't do it.

"Okay, fine, but it's still the same sentence, if this Li Guo can't lead the Olympic team to win a medal in the Olympic Games held in the capital next year, he will leave me, Lao Cai, don't be biased."

As soon as this remark came out, Cai Hua picked up the newspaper and stopped talking. At that time, he guaranteed Li Guo to be the head coach of the national team, and the most important thing was this-to win medals for the men's football team in the Olympic Games next year.

"Let's talk about next year's affairs next year. What are you anxious about now?"

This is an order to evict guests, Director Feng didn't say anything, and left the chairman's office angrily. After Director Feng left, Cai Hua put down the newspaper and thought: "Li Guo, don't let me down."

*****
On the training ground, Li Guo stood on the edge of the lawn, his T-shirt was already wet with sweat under the scorching sun in August.

"Head, go sit over there," Chen An said.

This is Li Guo's rule. Everyone in his team must shout his head. Just as Li Guo was about to turn around, he suddenly felt dizzy, and there seemed to be a foreign object in front of him, "What's going on? Is it a sequelae of time travel? It shouldn't be."

In his previous life, besides being a football fan, Li Guo also liked to read novels on the Internet, especially novels about football. Those who time-traveled all became stronger, why did he turn into a sick cat instead?
Taking a closer look, Li Guo found that what was in front of him was not a foreign object, but numbers. These numbers were floating in the air, to be precise, they were floating on people's heads.

This is a bit like the football game that Li Guo played. There will be various numbers on the players' heads, representing the players' abilities.

"Do I have the ability in the game?" Li Guo thought to himself.

A burst of inexplicable excitement welled up in his heart, Li Guo began to scan the players on the training field, and he found that there were two numbers above each player's head.

After a little thought, Li Guo understood that the blue numbers represent the player's ability value, while the red number represents the player's potential value.

"50, 20,"

"55, 23,"

Li Guo looked at the players on the training ground, basically none of them had an ability value over 60, and the potential value was even worse.

This is a common problem for Asian players. In fact, African players are also like this. In FIFA youth competitions, such as the World Youth Championship, African and Asian teams often get good results, but in adult competitions, South America and Europe dominate.

Seeing that Li Guo was stunned, Chen An gave him a light push, "What's wrong?"

"Do you think this group of people can win Olympic medals?" Li Guo asked.

The players on the training ground are the age-appropriate players at the Olympic level, that is, players under the age of 23. In addition, the Olympic Games stipulate that each team can have 3 over-age players.

Chen An looked at it and said: "These players are selected from the second teams of various clubs. It should be said that they are considered a very strong group at the U23 level in Asia."

"Yes, but it's still far from being in the top three at the Olympics,"

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I've done some research. Now there are 2 Chinese playing football in South America. These people all went out after the Jianlibao plan. We went to South America to audition. Maybe China's Kaka is among them."

As soon as these words came out, Chen An was also excited, this is a good idea, "But..."

"But what?" Li Guo asked.

"The qualifying match for the World Cup qualifiers is about to start, and the immediate priority is to prepare for this match."

"Qualifying?"

As a time traveler, Li Guo may have forgotten that in the past, the World Cup Asian qualifiers were divided into three stages. The first stage was the qualifying round, where 3 teams competed against each other for two rounds at home and away. The remaining half were divided into five groups to participate in the top 1 matches, and then play a round-robin match.

So the qualifiers in the first stage, to put it bluntly, are to clean up some big teams, and this stage is basically a statistic for the strong teams in Asia.

"Who is our opponent in the qualifying round?" Li Guo asked.

"the Philippines,"

"Philippines? This country also has football?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen An burst out laughing, "No matter how you say it, the qualifying round is also a FIFA A-level event, and we have to prepare for it."

Li Guo is a little unhappy, his heart has already flown to next year's Olympic Games, how can he care about the Philippines, but there is no way, the road has to be taken step by step.

"Okay, after the qualifying round, our global audition plan will officially start,"

Unlike his previous life, Li Guo now lives in a world where Chinese football is not short of talent. As a time traveler, Li Guo thought of Iceland, which created a miracle in the 2016 European Cup. Iceland also sent players out to train, and finally completed a counterattack in a short period of time. Li Guo wanted to learn from Iceland and use other people's youth training to realize the counterattack of Chinese football.

Going back to his dormitory at the training base, Li Guo was still very excited. The system that appeared in his mind just now should be of great help to him. Li Guo is going to study it carefully. He wonders if this system can judge a person’s future potential through photos.

Just as he said, Li Guo turned on the computer and searched for a person's name on Du Niang——Thomas Muller.
