Godfather of national football

Chapter 421
The players are packing their bags. Starting tomorrow, everyone will be leaving Brazil one after another. Li Guo decided not to arrange a group return to China. If you have any plans, you can make arrangements individually, whether to play or to spend time with your family.

However, Li Guo had his last press conference in Brazil, where he faced the domestic media, and it was also a summary for them.

At this time, the Football Association also called. The Chinese team's World Cup trip is over, so the contract renewal must start immediately, and there is no longer any delay.

Li Guo was very forthright. He said that tomorrow's press conference will announce that he has renewed his contract with the Football Association. The specific matters will be discussed after returning to China. In addition, he will not return to China immediately. He will stay in Brazil to watch the next World Cup.

On the second day, in the national team's residence, all the domestic mainstream media were present. Whether it was TV, Internet or print media, everyone was very satisfied with the results of the national football team.

"Guide Li, will there be a celebration party after the national football team returns?"

"It's definitely not, because we won't go back at the same time. These kids have been away from home for almost two months since the warm-up match. At this time, I just want them to have a vacation and do what they want to do."

Damn, this was unexpected. Originally, I thought that for such a good result, there must be a commendation meeting when I go back, just like the pomp of Olympic champions, and I have to go to Hong Kong and Macau, but this time I didn't expect to disband in Brazil.

Football is still different from the Olympics. Olympic champions can rest for a few months after returning, but as football players, the league will start soon, and they have very little time to rest.

The first few questions were tentative and used as a warm-up. In fact, there is only one question that everyone is most concerned about, and that is the question left by Li in the past.

Now it is not Li Guo who is looking for a job, but Li Guo who is looking for a job, so it is really hard to say whether he can stay. If he receives an invitation from a European giant, as long as he is an individual, he is likely to be tempted.

Finally, a bold reporter asked the question that everyone wanted to ask—"Director Li, about your contract renewal."

Li Guo didn't answer right away, but looked at the reporters present, "I remembered 7 years ago, when I came here, I faced domestic reporters for the first time, but it was just a blow."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking: "Li Guo can't be so stingy, can he remember the long-standing hatred?"

Li Guo really likes this change in everyone's attitude, the look in the eyes from questioning to worshiping. Now even if Li Guo stands up and slams the door to leave, these reporters dare not say anything.This is Li Guo's status in Chinese football now.

After thinking about it, Li Guo said with a smile: "Okay, I won't play with you anymore. I will tell you now that I will stay as the head coach of the national football team for the next four years. I will not leave until the end of the World Cup in Russia."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was overjoyed. Originally football journalists in China were unevenly hot and cold, and they would be a little hotter when there were big competitions. But since Li came, the status of football journalists, especially those covering the national football team, has improved a lot. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Guo is everyone’s bread and butter.

The audience burst into applause, and someone shouted: "Long live Director Li," while others shouted: "Director Li is the godfather of the national football team."

Li Guo smiled slightly, feeling refreshed. In fact, for so many years, with his outstanding performance, Li Guo has been on an equal footing with the Football Association. This is unprecedented in the history of national football. It is like Ferguson of Manchester United can challenge the board of directors.

In the football world, strength is king.

"Mu Fei, are you going back to Germany?" Li Guo asked.

"Yeah, it's time to train hard."

"Pfft, nonsense, I think you are impatient to see your girlfriend."

Mu Fei blushed, "Smelly old man, you just need to know it, why are you saying this in front of your teammates, I'm very embarrassing, you know that?"

The others also laughed. This is the last dinner in Brazil. Li Guo said goodbye to everyone. In fact, after learning that Li Guo renewed his contract, many players felt reassured. Now the national football players can no longer imagine what a Chinese team without Li Guo would be like.

"How about you, Fang Suo, where are you going?"

"Go on a trip, I want to go to Africa, maybe Ethiopia."

"Well, good idea, but be careful."

"And you, Geng Chong."

"I want to go to Argentina first, and then go to the southernmost tip of the southern hemisphere, which is Ushuaia."

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be very interesting. It's a nice place. I've been there once, and the opposite is the South Pole. If you want, you can take a boat to see the South Pole."

"Hope, head!"

It seems that everyone has their own plans, travel, family, girlfriend, they will not be bored after they leave Brazil.

Everyone looked at Li Guo and asked, "What about you, what are you going to do?"

"Me? I will stay in Brazil, watch the two semi-finals, and then watch the final. After the World Cup, I will go back home."

"Head, then I'll stay with you," Zhou Dun said.

As soon as this remark came out, many people’s faces changed. Since the captain said this, it stands to reason that everyone should say, “Okay, then we will stay with you too.” But the problem is that everyone really doesn’t want to watch football anymore, and they don’t even want to mention football. After all, players will also feel fatigued.

Li Guo understood the little Jiujiu in everyone's hearts at a glance, so he said: "I'm sorry, I have an appointment, so I can't take you with me."

Zhou Dun smiled slightly, and didn't say anything else. Even if the crisis was resolved, Mu Fei asked curiously, "Is it that beautiful female reporter or the Brazilian girl or..."

"You don't care, you are my father."

Everyone laughed, Mu Fei scratched his head, "Of course we can take care of it, head, your woman is our mistress, it's not filial to not know mistress."

Damn, Mu Fei's kung fu for hitting snakes with sticks is getting stronger and stronger, and Li Guo is also a bit willing to bow down.

"Just let me keep a little privacy, sleep after dinner, get out tomorrow, don't let me see you again."

Everyone was scolded, but they were happy in their hearts. They could finally leave. Children in their 20s still have a serious mentality of having fun. Li Guo finally proposed to give each of them [-] euros as a thank you to the players.

But everyone was determined not to want the money, so Mu Fei said: "Boss, we should give you the money, how can you give us the money?"

Li Guo thought about it and decided to forget it. Before he knew it, Li Guo had already regarded these players as his own children. People always take care of their children.

The next day, everyone left, but when Li Guo thought that Chen An was the only one left, he met someone who hadn't left in the restaurant.
