Godfather of national football

Chapter 401 Visiting Neymar

The day after the game, the headlines in the local Brazilian media were not about the elimination of the Brazilian team, but about Neymar's injury.

To sum it up in one sentence, it is very serious, not only the problem of not being able to play football in the next few months, there are even media reports that Neymar is likely to bid farewell to football because of this injury, which is reminiscent of what happened to Van Basten.

At the same time, a beer bottle attack occurred at the Chinese team's residence. A beer bottle from nowhere was thrown into the lobby of the hotel where the Chinese team stayed, and there was still an unknown liquid in the bottle.

The hotel staff immediately called the police, but it turned out to be a false alarm, the liquid inside was water, and the consequences of this incident were very serious. The Brazilian organizing committee severely criticized the perpetrators.

However, the conflict between the Chinese team and the Brazilians has not diminished, but has deepened. All conflicts lie in the heart of the Brazilians - Neymar.

Li Guo also knew that the matter was serious, so he offered to take Li Weifeng to the hospital to visit Neymar.

But Chen An immediately objected, "What if something happens along the way? What if Neymar doesn't like you? What if your big mouth can't help talking nonsense?"

Li Guo just chuckled, "There are so many contingencies. Going to visit Neymar is for crisis public relations. On the other hand, it should be done. The Chinese team owes Neymar an apology."

Li Guo said what he said and did what he said, and the Brazilian organizing committee also equipped Li Guo with strong security to ensure his safety.

The news had spread long ago. Reporters from all walks of life flocked to the hospital, but they were in vain. Li Guo entered the hospital through a special passage, but the spokesperson said that after visiting Neymar, Li Guo would meet with the media.

The first time he saw Neymar in the ward, Li Guo was also dumbfounded. At this time, Neymar was in a very bad mood.

"Hi Neymar."

"Hello, please forgive me for not being able to get up."

Then Neymar signaled the nurse beside him to help Li Guo move the chair, Li Guo hurried over and said that he didn’t need it, and he could do it by himself, “Nurse, if it’s convenient for you, can you go out first?”

The nurse nodded with a smile, and closed the door before leaving. There were only three people in the ward, Li Guo, Li Weifeng and Neymar.

Li Guo and Li Weifeng got straight to the point. They bowed and apologized. Li Weifeng said: "At that time, I really didn't know that the consequences of my actions would be so serious. Everyone is a professional player. I have also suffered serious injuries. I know the pain of injuries. If I knew the serious consequences of my actions, I would rather lose the game than lay my foot."

Neymar is not a small-minded person. Seeing Li Guo and Li Weifeng apologize so sincerely, he also smiled, "Injuries are part of a football player's life. I don't blame you for kicking me, but I blame..."

"what?"

"I blame you for knocking out the Brazil team and making the whole of Brazil sad."

Li Guo smiled slightly, "But those things happened after you left the field, and it also proves how much the Brazilian team relies on you."

Neymar also laughed, "I'd rather not be so important, and I don't want the Brazilian team to be eliminated."

"Heal your injury, I think you can play at least three World Cups, maybe you can win two World Cups," Li Guo said.

Neymar was amused, "You are very humorous, if we are not rivals, we can definitely become good friends."

"You can do it now." Li Guo said.

Then Li Weifeng handed over a present, some traditional Chinese medicine to nourish the body, Li Guo was afraid that Neymar would be annoyed when he saw the big head, so he signaled him to step back first.

"I know some sports medicine specialists in Germany if you need it."

Neymar shook his head, "The doctor said that there is no need for surgery, just lie down and rest like this, so thank you for your kindness."

After a brief chat with Neymar, Li Guo and Li Weifeng left, and the real problem was the rest.

*****
When Li Guo and Li Weifeng appeared at the entrance of the hospital, the scene was a bit chaotic. The reporters and ordinary Brazilians were very excited, as if they had seen their enemies, they shouted all kinds of curse slogans, and even asked Li Guo to get out of Brazil now.

Li Guo walked to the middle of the crowd and said loudly, "I'll say a few words, can you scold me after I'm done?"

The security guards at the scene used loudspeakers to ask everyone to be quiet, and finally everyone calmed down, but stared at Li Guo with eyes that seemed to be eating people.

"Thank you, thank you for finally calming down. First of all, I want to apologize to you and to the whole of Brazil."

"Hypocritical, hypocrite, disgusting."

The scolding sounded again, but was finally suppressed by the police at the scene. After the crowd quieted down, Li Guo said again: "I just met with Neymar, and his condition is not bad. We chatted, and I believe he will recover soon."

Everyone can't complain about these remarks, they can only continue to be quiet, Li Guo continued: "I think we should apologize for the result caused by Li Weifeng, but Li Weifeng's action is not wrong."

"what!!"

The audience was in an uproar, originally everyone thought that Li Guo would be hypocritical, but what he didn't expect was that the bastard didn't even have to be hypocritical.

Of course, the scolding sounded again, and even more violently.

Another 10 minutes passed when the scene was quiet again. This time, Li Guo was blunt. "The World Cup is held every four years. Any normal player will fight with all his strength. This is also the charm of football. Don't you want to see Brazil's opponents are weak? That is also an insult to Brazil."

"I think as a player, the best tribute to an opponent is to be serious and fight for every ball. So do you think Li Weifeng is wrong?"

These remarks are justified. If the Chinese team handed over the ball, it would not be a match-fixing. If the Brazilian team defeated such a team, what's the point?
"Brazil is the kingdom of football. I think you should understand the true meaning of the football game better than any other country, that is, never give up."

The people at the scene found that they had less and less reason to bombard Li Guo, because everything he said made sense.

"In the end, I still hope that Neymar will recover as soon as possible. As long as it is within my ability, I am willing to help Neymar."

After saying these words, Li Guo and Li Weifeng left the scene under the escort of the police. The reporters felt that this incident should come to an end. Li Guo had already apologized and explained the reason, so there was no point in continuing the hype.

And Li Guo's crisis public relations was also very successful. After that, the Chinese team can seriously prepare for the quarter-finals.
