Godfather of national football

Chapter 46

"Goooooooooooooal!"

This is the passionate cry of Robin Dutt on the sidelines. English is his mother tongue. All the players on the bench of the Chinese team rushed out.

After the goal, Chen Gelin made a domineering sliding tackle to celebrate, leaving a clear mark of China on the lawn of the Khalifa Stadium, which was left by Chen Gelin, the number 11 of the Chinese team!
Everyone was embracing and celebrating. At this time, Li Guo turned around and returned to the bench alone. It turned out that he had been standing on the sidelines until the moment Chen Gelin scored a goal. He wanted to shout, but he couldn't, and he didn't know that he was dehydrated.

After drinking a bottle of water in one breath, Li Guo recovered. Chen An came and hugged Li Guo. This was the first time that the Chinese team fell behind and evened the score since Li Guo took office.

On the other side, the Qatari players were a little sluggish, and the rain felt a little strange on their bodies. As a Qatari football player, the chances of playing rainball since childhood are very small. This is like asking a Filipino player, have you ever played in the snow?

The opponent will definitely shake their heads like an electric fan. The Qatari fans at the scene stretched out their hands to catch the rain and looked up at the sky. This is the most bizarre football match they have ever encountered.

The game continued, and Li Guo yelled from the sidelines: "Let the storm come more violently."

Chen An chuckled, "God can listen to you!"

But then Chen An was also dumbfounded, and saw that the light rain in the stadium turned into moderate rain, and the moderate rain turned into heavy rain.The audience on the lower level of the stadium went back to hide from the rain. The head coach of Qatar looked very helpless. He turned and asked his assistant to go to the locker room to prepare spikes. After a few minutes, the assistant came back and told him that the team did not have spikes at all.

"How is that possible? The last time I saw Iraqi coming to Doha, they were all wearing spikes."

The assistant looked embarrassed, "Boss, it's impossible to rain in Doha this season, so...".

"How is it impossible, then what do you think this is?"

The assistant was silent, and the head coach of Qatar punched the plexiglass of the coach's bench. He could only pray that the rain would stop as soon as possible.

If a desert camel is drenched by the rain, it must be difficult to bear the weight. The current Qatari players feel a little bit like this.

For the Chinese team, the players are mainly from the north, especially from the Northeast, such as Zheng Zhi, Li Weifeng, and Sun Jihai. After the rain, the temperature in the stadium is more than 20 degrees.

Chinese fans who watched the 2001 Top 10 match must still remember the "big head" Li Weifeng's header ability.Often when the Chinese team is playing away games, when they are passive, Li Weifeng steps forward and kills with one blow.

In the second half, Qatar's offense dropped, and Fonso alone could kill Sebastian to death.Li Weifeng finally couldn't hold back his desire to attack. After passing the ball, Li Weifeng got in from the back row.

Zheng Zhi took the ball, and the Qatar defender's attention was all on Chen Gelin. Chen Gelin's speed was terrible, but this time Chen Gelin was acting as a cover.

The ball is in! !

"Goooooooooal," Dutt yelled loudly again, looking up to the sky and screaming. At this moment, the young fans may not be so excited, but the older Chinese fans may have tears in their eyes, and saw Li Weifeng's header scored again!
2 to 1, the Chinese team completed the reversal in the second half.

When the Chinese team completed the reversal, the rain gradually stopped, but the situation in front of the Qataris was very embarrassing. Is it for face or for results?
If you want to face it, it will be like this. Losing 1 to 2 is justified. If you want to get results, you have to make substitutions. In the end, it is very likely that the Chinese team will be even worse.

The head coach of Qatar squatted on the ground and thought about it carefully, and finally decided to make a substitution, but seeing the substitution sign, the home fans were dumbfounded, and replaced Uruguay's naturalized player Sebastian with a midfielder.

Obviously, in the end, the head coach of Qatar chose to save face. It is said that the big boss behind Qatar football is the royal family of Qatar, and local tyrants generally have no patience. If they really lose four or five at the "Khalifa Stadium" today, then the local tyrants in Qatar will probably tell the head coach to leave.

Qatar has withdrawn troops, and the Chinese team is on the downhill. After all, what Li Guo wants is three points. Besides, the local tyrants in Qatar invited him to dinner last time, and if it wasn't for that party, Li Guo would never have met Bundchen again.

So the Chinese team stopped attacking. The metronome of the Chinese team is Zheng Zhi. In fact, Zheng Zhi has already slowed down without the head coach saying anything.

Li Guo felt that Zheng Zhi had always been a buried player, and that he had bad luck. In fact, in 2004, Zheng Zhi missed Bayern’s trial training because his mobile phone was left at home.

"MD, I thought my hometown of India was the worst place, but now it seems that Doha is," Robin complained.

It turned out that after the rain stopped, the heat evaporated, like a sauna room, and it was more uncomfortable than when it was not raining, but it didn't matter now. Looking at the 2-1 on the big screen in the distance, Li Guo used up the last two substitutions and replaced Chen Gelin and Fang Suo.

After more than ten minutes of stalemate, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Chinese team got their wish and swiped their cards in the away game.

In the mixed interview area after the game, Li Guo saw an old acquaintance - Ibrahim of Al Jazeera.

Ibrahim first congratulated the Chinese team for their victory with a bitter face, and then asked: "Coach Li Guo, in my opinion, that damn rain was the turning point of this game."

Li Guo replied with a smile: "No, in my opinion, the strength of the Chinese team allowed us to win. I don't think the rain has anything to do with the game."

"Damn, isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open?" Ibrahim thought, in fact, there is no need to say it, Li Guo can also interpret it from Ibrahim's expression, but Li Guo just suppressed his smile and didn't say anything.

"Now it seems that we really can only go to the second place in the group with Australia," Ibrahim continued to say some scenes, and Li Guo also praised Qatar a few words.

"Which player from Qatar impressed you the most," Ibrahim asked.

"Of course it's Sebastian the Uruguayan."

As soon as this remark came out, Ibrahim's face turned green. This is not a club game. Why did you deliberately mention your nationality.

Li Guo then realized that he had said something wrong, and wanted to make up for it with a well-established Qatari player, but it soon became a tragedy. Li Guo found that he did not know anyone else except for remembering the two naturalized players.

In the end, Li Guo could only say embarrassedly: "See you in China in 7 days."
