Godfather of national football

Chapter 406 Football and Public Welfare ([-])

Football and charity.

In the past, football had little to do with public welfare, but now football and public welfare are very closely related. It is well known that Barcelona speaks for the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) for free.

You must know that Barcelona's chest advertisements are very valuable, which is equivalent to spending tens of millions of euros a year for public welfare.

On such an important stage as the World Cup, the top eight teams were invited to participate in UNICEF's public welfare activities, and the invited teams readily agreed.

The Chinese team and the German team were in Fortaleza and were invited to a local orphanage to visit those orphans.

In fact, Li Guo has long wanted to do this. In China, only Yao Ming had such an honor before. As a representative invited by the United Nations, Dayao went to Africa to participate in public welfare activities many times.

Li Guo knows that in Europe and the United States, a person needs to be recognized after making money, not by what car you drive, but by how much you contribute to charity.

That's why Buffett and Bill Gates announced naked donations to give back all their wealth to the society.

The bus drove for an hour and arrived at a local orphanage with fairly good conditions. According to the accompanying staff, in Brazil, less than [-]% of orphans can live in well-equipped orphanages.

Most of the children will struggle in society, and some are even adopted by bad people and become tools for doing evil.

As soon as we got off the bus, flashing lights flashed. This public welfare activity attracted a lot of media attention. This is also the most important purpose of Unicef ​​inviting celebrities to endorse, that is to attract attention and gather more social forces.

Li Guo went to the microphone, "I am very honored that Unicef ​​can invite the Chinese team to participate in this event."

Since then, not only Dayao, but also Li Guo and his national team have appeared on the Chinese charity map, which is really awesome.

"Do you think such activities will affect the team's preparations?"

"Of course not. On the contrary, I think it will be helpful to my players. When people are capable, they should give back to the society. I am honored to say that again."

In the end, Li Guo announced, "I decided to donate 100 million US dollars to Unicef ​​in the name of the Chinese national team at my own expense. In addition, when the Chinese team participates in international competitions, at least once a year, our jerseys will be replaced with the Unicef ​​logo on the chest."

There was a lot of applause at the scene, these were all paid in real money, which was much more useful than saying a scene, and the money was paid by Li Guo himself.

At this time, the German team's bus also arrived. The reporters moved over, and the staff of Unicef ​​signaled the Chinese team to go in first.

*****
There are only two kinds of so-called orphans in Brazil. Children who cannot be raised, or children with disabilities whose parents do not want to raise them. There is no tradition of patriarchal children in Brazil, so no one deliberately abandons their daughters.

At first glance, Li Guo saw that most of them were children with disabilities. In the Confederations Cup last year, a disabled person kicked off the opening game. He wore a human exoskeleton and kicked off the opening game. It was also the first time a disabled person kicked off an international football match.

Li Guo saw a child in a wheelchair holding a football and wondered, how does he play football?

Li Guo asked an interpreter to ask, but the other party did not answer, but headed the ball directly, one, two... until it was more than 30, the ball was still bouncing steadily on his head, which stunned the Chinese players on the scene, and they couldn't help applauding.

"It's amazing," Li Guo said.

Li Guo asked a translator to tell the little boy that he could give him a God World Cup ball. The little boy was very happy and hoped that it would be signed.

Li Guo shook hands with the little boy, expressing that he would definitely do it.

In fact, although the children here have various problems, they all have one thing in common, that is, optimism. Li Guo has also practiced heading the ball, knowing that it is difficult, but he must be an optimistic little boy who has practiced to this extent in a wheelchair.

As they walked, the hearts of the players gradually sank. Usually, they seldom saw disabled children and could not imagine their difficulties in life, so they were shocked.

Suddenly Li Guo felt someone hit him, Unicef ​​staff immediately stopped the other party, Li Guo saw that the other party seemed to have cerebral palsy, his eyes were a little slanted, and he kept saying something to Li Guo.

Li Guo asked curiously, "What did he say?"

Unicef ​​staff looked embarrassed, "He's scolding you."

Li Guo was even more puzzled. We met for the first time today. We had no grievances or enmities. Why did you scold me? It turned out that the other party was a fan of the Brazilian team. He had seen Li Guo on TV, and he knew that Li Guo was not a good person.

The staff said that his IQ was affected, so he was as straightforward as a child.

Li Guo has never apologized to the Brazilians, but this time he broke the precept, he asked a translator to tell the other party that he was sorry for eliminating the Brazilian team.

I didn't expect the other party to ask, is it true?
This time the players of the Chinese team were amused. Mu Fei didn’t need an interpreter. He told him directly that we are sorry. If we could do it all over again, we would definitely lose to the Brazilian team. The Brazilian team is great.

Everyone "coaxed" him together, and soon the other party smiled, saying that he likes Li Guo and the Chinese team.

Mu Fei's forehead was sweating, and he told everyone, "In fact, he misunderstood. He thought that we would give up the quarter-finals seat to the Brazilian team. He will still be able to watch the Brazilian team's game next time, so he is very happy."

Hahaha, what a kid, can this make me feel better?But no one told the truth, and they all cooperated and said, we are going back to China, let the Brazilian team go to the game instead of us.

This time he was completely satisfied, ran back, and said that he would tell other friends this "good news".

"Then it will be worn out," Li Guo asked.

The staff said: "No, the children in the enlightenment class are all with the enlightenment class, which means that his friends also have the same symptoms as him."

Hearing this, Li Guo felt sad for a while, and then thought about it, this is fine, at least they can be happy for a while, even for a day or two.

Mu Fei looked at the children and said, "I must play football well, become the number one player in the world, and then help those in need."

"Head, will you laugh at my dream?"

"Of course not. Among your many dreams, this one is the greatest and the only one that has nothing to do with picking up girls."

Mu Fei's face darkened, "When people are sensational, you just cooperate and talk about those nonsense."

Li Guo patted Mu Fei, "Okay, then I won't talk anymore, I will fully support you in this dream."

At this moment, someone from behind shouted "Li Guo."
