Godfather of national football

Chapter 448 You've Learned Badly
There were so many twists and turns before the game that when they stepped on the field the day before the game, the players on both sides were like enemies, not looking at each other.

The players of the two teams are separated by dozens of meters, but they are strangers, as if seeing the air. The Korean media present are very satisfied with this, but they should not give the Chinese team a good look.

The head coaches of the two sides also ignored each other, but Li Guo called Stillik, and it was German that Stillik was most familiar with.

"Uli, you have learned badly in Korea, you have learned to spread rumors."

Stillik blushed, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Then why are you blushing?"

"Hot weather."

"Haha, no need to quibble, I know that you are the one who framed the Chinese team, but congratulations, you successfully diverted the internal strife."

Stillik's nature is upright, so after being exposed, he feels naked.

"Okay, I admit it was my fault, you go talk to the media and I'll admit it," Stillik said.

Li Guo thought hehe, the German old man is really simple, Li Guo walked over and said with a smile: "Hehe, I know there must be someone behind you to pay attention to you."

"why?"

"Because only a Korean stick would come up with such a wretched scheme."

Stillik chuckled, but immediately recovered his serious expression, "Anyway, I was wrong about this matter, and I shouldn't tolerate what my subordinates do."

Li Guo stretched out his hand in the air, "I forgive you."

Stillik happily held his hand up.

"Since you are so honest, let me tell you the truth, have you heard the rumors about me and the Korean female singer?"

Stillik smiled awkwardly. He is not a gossip person, but he has indeed heard it.

Li Guo said proudly, "Actually, that's the news I made."

"You?" Stillik frowned. He was not good at doing these things, and he didn't know how to make news.

So Li Guo told Stillik the whole story, and he couldn't help laughing after hearing it, "You are too wicked, by the way, isn't this illegal?"

"As long as you don't tell it, who knows."

There was a sly smile on the corner of Stillik's mouth, "It seems that you trust me very much, how do you know that I won't tell it."

Li Guo didn't know, but if the other party said it, then Li Guo would be in big trouble and would probably be sued.

"Because I believe in Germans, I have lived in Germany for a long time."

Stillik smiled slightly, "Well, based on your words, you can trust me 100%."

The South Korean reporter on the side saw this scene, and his heart was full of emotions. Why was his head coach talking and laughing with that annoying Li Guo? What were they talking about?Could it be that Stillik is a traitor?

Stillik must not have imagined that this was also part of Li Guo's strategy. He turned his head and gave the South Korean reporter a thumbs up. The South Korean reporter really wanted to give Li Guo a middle finger right away.

I remember that a few years ago, South Korea launched a campaign of eating, sleeping, and scolding Li Guo, and this time Li Guo made Koreans revisit this activity.

In the last training session before the game, Stillik stared ahead with blazing eyes. If the team is compared to a sports car, then the car has been adjusted to the best condition by Stillik.

The essence of German football is balance, so Stillik invited veteran Che Duli back to play in the Asian Cup again.

This has actually caused controversy. It stands to reason that there is no shortage of defenders in Korean football. Newcomers come out quickly, such as Jang Hyun-soo, but Stillik finally chose to bring the 35-year-old Cha Du-ri, just to use his experience.

Judging from the group stage, the right side guarded by Cha Duli is indeed very stable, and the number of penetrations is very small.

In addition to Cha Duli, Ji Chengyong, Gu Zizhe, and Sun Xingmin are all players that Stillik focuses on.

The foundation of Korean football youth training is very good, so it is not difficult for Stillik to instill his own football thinking. He couldn't help applauding when he saw an assist by Cha Doo-ri, and frowned when he saw a defensive error by Park Joo-ho.

But these are minor problems. The biggest problem is the choice of striker. Stillik has two options--teenager Li Tingxie and veteran Park Joo-young.

Li Tingxie is like a younger version of Li Dongguk, while Park Juyoung once played for Arsenal, and his experience is his advantage.

In Stillik's system, there is only one striker. This striker needs to be strong and capable of destroying cities, so it is particularly difficult to choose.

The members of the Korean coaching staff in his coaching team suggested Lee Jung-hye, because that is the future of Korean football, and Stillik himself is more conservative, and he prefers Park Joo-young, so he is going to have a chat with the two.

First, Stillik found Park Zhouyong, "I have a problem, I want to ask you."

Pu Zhouyong was a little surprised, but still nodded.

"If you were the head coach, who would you use as the lone striker, you or Lee."

Park Zhouyong didn't expect the head coach to ask such a question. He thought for a while and replied, "If I were the head coach, I would choose Li Tingxie."

"Oh? Why?" Stillik was obviously a little surprised.

"Because I am not suitable to be a center forward, I am more suitable to play as a midfielder or on the wing, but Li Tingxie's body can lean on the opponent's defender, so I think he is more suitable."

Stillik smiled after listening, "Thank you, your opinion is very valuable."

Then, Stillik raised the same question to Li Tingxie, who thought for a while, "I think senior is more suitable."

"Senior?" Stillik heard that in South Korea, the orderly rules of seniority are very serious, and there are even cases where seniors bully juniors.

"Lee, I'm very disappointed in you."

Li Tingxie panicked, and Stillik said, "I'll give you one last chance to tell me the truth." This time Li Tingxie gritted his teeth and said something similar to Park Joo-young. In fact, this is very obvious, just look at his figure.

"Okay, I can tell you, I asked Park the same thing first, and guess what he said."

Li Tingxie shook his head, "I don't know what senior said."

"What kind of problem is this? One senior at a time, can't you Koreans call you names?"

"Well, let me tell you, his analysis is the same as yours."

Li Tingxie breathed a sigh of relief. He understands that in South Korea, where seniority is considered, it is very important to be recognized by seniors. South Korean speed skating champion Ahn Hyun-soo is such an amazing person, but the team doesn’t like him, so he was also pushed out. This is the current situation of Korean sports.

Stillik put his hand on Li Tingxie's shoulder, "In the game against the Chinese team, it's up to you to score the goal. Don't let me down."

Li Tingxie looked at the head coach, and Zheng nodded emphatically.
