Godfather of national football

Chapter 433 The process is more important than the result

The embassy imitates Huizhou architecture, with white walls and black tiles. Of course, the materials are all modern materials.

After allocating the room, the players had their rest. Li Guo approached Counselor Feng, "Counselor, is the law and order in Fort *** really that bad?"

"The Rawalpindi side is a bit worse, but this side is still pretty good."

"Then why are there so many soldiers?"

"Maybe because I think it's grand," Counselor Feng chuckled.

"It's really Bartie."

Counselor Feng nodded, "If it is an ordinary Chinese tourist walking on the streets of *** Fort, soon there will be locals asking for a group photo."

"why?"

"Pass it on the Internet to show off."

Hehe, Li Guo thinks that this place is like China 30 years ago. The cars on the streets are shabby. I heard that all of them are second-hand cars imported from China. In this country, there are very few new cars, except for government units.

"By the way, let's be serious, Counselor, how will we play the game the day after tomorrow?"

Counselor Feng was taken aback. Are you the head coach or me? You asked me about the game.

"Director Li, I'm going to do it for you."

"Hehe, you misunderstood me. What I mean is, if the Chinese team plays seriously, then even the substitute lineup can score double-digit scores. Wouldn't that be too ugly? But if the match-fixing is played, will the opponents feel that they look down on them again, so I am quite embarrassed."

Counselor Feng understood, and after thinking about it, he said: "We should play seriously. The gap between them and Chinese football is obvious. It is normal to lose too much, but it is not normal to lose too little, but just don't get angry."

Li Guo nodded, "Then I understand."

*****
The climate in the Indian subcontinent is very hot. The temperature in Fort Fort in June can reach as high as 6 degrees, and now the temperature in November is also in the 50s, which is very suitable for football games.

This game made the Fort Stadium full, but only men came to watch the game, and women were not allowed to watch the game. Pakistan is an independent country.

When talking about Ji Ke and Li Weifeng, the live broadcast specifically introduced that they had participated in the World Cup in Brazil. Before the game, the other party knew that China’s big names were not coming.

Football in this country is basically at an amateur level. Playing against such a team is like playing the first round of the World Cup qualifiers. Not to mention, theoretically speaking, the Chinese team is still very likely to meet this team in the Russian World Cup qualifiers.

Three minutes into the game, Liao Lisheng pierced the Pakistan goal with a curved ball from outside the penalty area, and the Chinese team led 3-1.

What's interesting is that after taking the lead, the Pakistanis cheered for the Chinese team. Li Guo thought that the counselor was right. In fact, they don't care about winning or losing, but they care about the process.

Li Guo has been standing on the sidelines of the court. This is the characteristic of the Chinese team. Li Guo is the flag of the Chinese team. Seeing Li Guo, the fans feel that the ticket price for the game is worth it.

The on-site commentary was very exciting, just like the Chinese fans saw AC Milan visiting in the 90s. Although the players were not the main players, they were still very excited.

"The Chinese team, they were in the World Cup a few months ago, they played against Spain and Brazil, and now they are standing in Fort Fort, I... I am speechless, this used to only appear in dreams."

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team had a 4-0 lead. There seemed to be no Pakistani fans at the scene. Everyone was Chinese fans. Every time the Chinese team scored a goal, there were cheers and no boos.

During the intermission, the players ran back to the player tunnel one after another. Although it was a friendly match, there was a circle of military police on the sidelines, and the security level was very high. When Li Guo was walking back, he accidentally glanced at the stands, and it was this glance that made Li Guo's heart skip a beat.

I saw a little Pakistani boy wearing a newspaper. Looking carefully, there happened to be a five-star red flag on the newspaper. It is estimated that this is a local sports newspaper, which may have reported the World Cup match of the Chinese team.

In this impoverished country, many people simply cannot afford an authentic jersey. Li Guo was very moved after seeing it. He walked to a military police next to him and pointed to the little boy, "Can you do me a favor and take him and his father to the locker room of the Chinese team?"

Although it was a bit difficult, but Li Guo was the most important guest of Pakistan, no matter how difficult it was, he had to deal with it. The bearded military police nodded, "Please wait a moment."

A few minutes later, the door of the locker room of the Chinese team opened, and a cute little boy appeared in front of the players. What was even cuter was his clothes, a jersey made of newspaper.

Geng Chong could tell at a glance that it should be the report after the Chinese team defeated the Brazilian team. He asked, "Did you make this dress yourself?"

The little boy was very shy, and he said in English, "My sister did it."

"Are you a fan of the Chinese team?"

The little boy stopped talking, maybe he didn't understand what the fans meant, he stared at a football on the ground, as if he really wanted it.

Geng Chong picked it up and walked towards the little boy, "Give it to you."

The little boy put his hands behind his back, refusing to accept them. Finally, after his father said a few words to him, he took it, and immediately smiled. This is the best gift, a dream gift.

Li Guo knelt down and patted the little boy's head, "I'll give you a jersey, will you play football when you grow up?"

"I'm already playing football."

"Really? Where?"

"My living room."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed. Fortress's infrastructure is very poor, and playing professional football is a distant dream.

Li Guo signed the jersey and handed it to the little boy, "I'm talking about playing football on the field, wearing jerseys and boots."

The little boy seemed to understand, but he nodded firmly, "Okay, I will definitely do it when I grow up."

In the second half of the game, Li Guo changed a few players, but the field was still one-sided. The Chinese team scored 4 more goals and finally defeated the opponent with a total score of 8-0.

After the game, the players from both sides were very friendly and exchanged jerseys. Counselor Feng’s heart finally fell to the ground. The national football team successfully completed the task. Li Guo suggested to the Counselor, “We have railway cooperation, military cooperation, and economic cooperation with Pakistan. Why is there no football cooperation?”

Counselor Feng was taken aback for a moment, then realized that this was a very good idea, why didn't he think of it before.

"Director Li has a good idea. I'll go back and study it carefully."

Li Guo nodded and smiled slightly, maybe there will be a Pakistani version of the Jianlibao plan soon.
