Godfather of national football

Chapter 442 New Questions
The Chinese team is based in Brisbane.

Li Guo is also training step by step, and this part of the work is basically done by Sun Jihai and Redondo.

Li Guo originally wanted to invite Datou to join the coaching team, but Li Weifeng declined, he wanted to accompany his family.

The training of the Chinese team is strictly in accordance with the training process of the European teams. It is not fast or slow, and every step will be very scientific, especially paying attention to the physical health of the players.

In the past, Chinese football suffered a great loss from eagerness for quick success, because in the former Chinese football, it was popular that the so-called minor injuries could not leave the line of fire, and it was still honorable for players to train with injuries.

Later, when Yang Chen was in Frankfurt, he often insisted on training with injuries, coupled with the lack of communication, the head coach of Frankfurt at the time, Magath, particularly disliked Yang Chen, thinking that he was "fake", and Yang Chen also missed a better opportunity to improve in Germany.

So after Li came over, everything changed. Starting from Li Guo, the Chinese team must approve the team doctor to hire a player. If the team doctor thinks that the player cannot play, then he can't.

Chinese players are different from those in other countries, because the Chinese league started in March. In previous years, domestic players are in winter training at this time, and their physical condition is average, while overseas players are also on vacation at this time.

After the first match, the national football players were a little tired, especially in Tahiti where there was less training. Li Guo’s idea was to use the game as a substitute training, and through the three group matches to fully restore the players’ state, and then it was a real confrontation in the knockout round.

Because after the Chinese team qualify, whether it is playing against Australia or South Korea, it is an encounter and it is not easy.

Thinking of this, Li Guo called Jihai over, "How is Jihai? The state of the second game must be improved to 70% of normal, and then to 90% in the last game, so that the quarterfinals can be fully fired."

"Head, I think it's okay. The game against Saudi Arabia can reach 50%. I'm still confident that this game will reach 70%."

Li Guo pointed to his own brain, "The key is thinking, the joking attitude is for the media to see, we must be sober in private, the Asian Cup is not easy to play."

Ji Hai nodded, "Of course, how about holding a mobilization meeting?"

Li Guo shook his head, "That's useless."

"What should I do?"

"Frustration education!"

Ji Hai seemed to understand, but Li Guo didn't explain. He went back to lead the team for training.

During the training interval, Fang Suo found Li Guo. Since 2008, he has been an indispensable and absolute main force in the midfield of the Chinese team. However, he sat on the bench for half the game in the last game. It felt like he had hemorrhoids and was restless.

"Head, I can call 433 too, don't you need me?"

Li Guo was puzzled, "Why did you say that? You're not hardcore, it's okay to take turns once in a while, right?"

But Fonso is very smart. He analyzed the 433-433-[-] formation, and it seems that there is really no suitable position for him. [-] uses ball control instead of defense, and Zheng Zhi is definitely better than him in ball control, which makes Fang Suo very worried about his future in the national team.

"Head, can you tell me the truth?"

"This is the truth, why should I lie to you."

"Then can I play in the next game?"

Li Guo didn't allow anyone to interfere with his formation. He lowered his face and said seriously: "Fang Suo, you have crossed the line."

Fang Suo said nothing, turned and left.

****
At night, in the hotel swimming pool, Li Guo was swimming alone. During the day, the players resumed training here. Now that it was free, Li Guo only came to swim for a while.

The weather in Brisbane is really nice, neither hot nor cold, Li Guo swam for a while and found someone by the pool.

Chen An was waiting for Li Guo with a bath towel, and Li Guo swam over, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"I saw what happened during the day."

"You mean about Fang Suo?"

Chen An nodded.

"That's okay, I'll take care of it."

"Really?" Chen An didn't believe it, because Fang Suo looked annoyed when he left.

"You seem to have something in your words, what's the matter?"

"Why are you so interested in the 433 formation all of a sudden?"

It turned out to be for this, "It's nothing, I just want to innovate."

Chen An said: "Li Guo, you always have fantastic ideas, and you are often right, but this time I don't quite agree."

"Why? Tell me."

"Because of our performance in the first game, if the opponent was not too weak, then our performance must have been a disaster. Our pass success rate was terrible."

Li Guo chuckled: "It seems that you, like Fang Suo, are impatient people, why don't you wait for a while?"

"Because I can't afford to wait, there are only a few games in the Asian Cup. Maybe the game will be over before the effect appears."

Li Guo nodded. Modern football is indeed too utilitarian, even eager for quick success. Li Guo thought of Kroos. After his debut in Rostock, the whole of Germany regarded him as a genius, and the facts later proved this point.

But even so, Bayern still would rather rent him to Leverkusen than train him themselves, because they don't have the patience.

Li Guo has also thought about this issue, if not because of his absolute control, Li Guo would not dare to change.

"My old friend, let's make a bet, if the second round doesn't work out, then I'll listen to you, okay?"

Chen An threw down the towel, "As usual, I'm just offering my opinion, so forget it if you don't listen."

Li Guo was the only one left in the swimming pool. He was thinking about it. He recently entered the coaching assistance system, and Big Sam was always sleeping. After so many years, he has learned everything he can learn. Li Guo can buy more advanced coaches to assist him, such as Simeone, but Li Guo is unwilling. He would rather save points to buy Ferguson’s.

In fact, Big Sam is now more like a partner to Li Guo. Li Guo suddenly found that the formation map in the coaching assistance system has been replaced with a 433 formation. This is very strange. Li Guo asked Allardyce, but he didn't know, because he couldn't see the background of the system, only Li Guo could see the background.

Li Guo instinctively felt that this was a hint that perhaps 433 is the future of football, and only 433 can lead the Chinese team to win the gold cup, because with the physical characteristics of the Chinese, it is certain that they cannot play the domineering football of the German team, so control may be a good choice.

But the problem is also obvious. Giving up the familiarity will definitely cause the players to not understand. Li Guo has always hoped that the problem can be solved on the court, but the terrible thing is that he did not play well in the first game.

With a splash, Li Guo came out of the swimming pool, his whole body was wet, the evening wind blew, and it was still a bit cold. Li Guo picked up the bath towel on the floor and wrapped himself up, thinking: "Go back to the room and think about it, it will probably be another sleepless night."
