Godfather of national football

Chapter 506 Madman Gareka

The Chinese team's first match against Peru was in Seattle, a city in the northwest corner of the United States.

On the plane, Li Guo was watching the pre-recorded video, which was all about Peru and was prepared by the coaching staff in advance.

Peru is a nerve-wracking team in South America. Although it is not a strong team in South America, it can often defeat giants like Brazil and Argentina. Therefore, in South America, no one dares to say that they can definitely beat the Peruvian team.

Through the porthole of the plane, the players were both excited and nervous. The journey ahead was unknown. After all, Chinese football had never been invited to participate in the America’s Cup. It was the same feeling as when Columbus first set foot on the American continent.

The Peruvian team arrived in Seattle one day earlier than the Chinese team. When the Chinese team flew to Seattle, the head coach of the Peruvian team, Gareca, was being interviewed by the media.

Gareca is Argentine, and Argentina is the favorite to win the championship, so the first question is naturally about Argentina.

"If you meet your country Argentina in the knockout round, you will feel anticipation or frustration."

"Of course it is anticipation. I think the best tribute to Argentine football is to beat Argentina."

"Some people say that Peru is here for tourism this time."

Gareka put on a very contemptuous expression, "Someone? May I ask who you are talking about, and you can bring him to confront me face to face."

The reporter was dumbfounded. Gareca was a little angry, so he could only change the subject, "So what is Peru's goal?"

"The semi-finals, this is my goal, I am not arrogant enough to win the championship, that is unrealistic."

The reporter laughed heartily, you are already arrogant enough.

After talking about Peru, the topic turned to the Chinese team, "Then what do you think of your first opponent, the Chinese team?"

In fact, for a team from Asia, South American teams look down on them. This is not something that can be changed by a good World Cup. For example, Costa Rica also participated in this Copa America, but no one thinks they are a strong team.

Gareca thought for a long time, but couldn't find the right words. "I don't know the Chinese team very well. I hope they will have a better time in the United States."

The reporter reminded: "The head coach of the Chinese team, Li Guo, said that they are not here to play, they are here to compete seriously."

Gareca smiled faintly, "I think football needs to be developed step by step. I still know a little bit about the level of Asian football. It's not much better than Haiti."

"That is to say, do you think Peru can easily beat the Chinese team?"

"I think this is for sure, we are a South American team."

This sentence offended the hosts, but the South Americans thought so. They felt that teams other than the South American powerhouses were here to play soy sauce.

A reporter was very unhappy with Gareca's arrogance. He said: "The Chinese team beat Brazil in the World Cup."

"So what? We beat Brazil in World Cup qualifiers, but I won't talk about it because it's in the past and you can't live in the past."

These words left the reporter speechless again. Football players from Argentina may have some arrogance, but some old reporters who have been in contact with Li Guo are secretly delighted. If these two get together, it must be very good-looking.

Soon, Li Guo came over, and the reporters also became high. Over the years, Li Guo has been their food and clothing parent. Wherever there is Li Guo, there is news. Li Guo has never let everyone down.

The reporter who likes to make troubles told Li Guo exactly what Gareca said. Li Guo smiled lightly after hearing it. He is an old driver and knows what the purpose of these reporters is.

"I don't believe everything your reporter says. I don't know Gareka. I don't believe he would say that. If it was Dunga, I would believe it."

But the reporters obviously came prepared, and soon some reporters took out their mobile phones and showed them to Li Guo, "Damn, the reporter's service is really good now, and it also has an editing function."

The reporter has already edited Gareca's interview, picking out those words that Gareca ridiculed Li Guo.

Li Guo looked at it, and the reporters waited for Li Guo to lose his temper and scold Gareca, then the news would be easy to write, the first big news of the America's Cup.

But unexpectedly, Li Guo was very calm after reading it, "This guy is actually right. Our Chinese team is here for the first time to participate in the America's Cup, and we are here to learn."

As soon as this remark came out, half of the people at the scene almost fell down. Is this Li Guo?Did I get the wrong script?

"Li Guo, do you not understand Spanish? That's okay. I added subtitles below, and they are bilingual in Chinese and English."

Li Guo chuckled, "No, I see it clearly."

The reporters were disappointed. Could it be that Li came to the American continent and gave up?Don't dare to be arrogant anymore?

Li Guo felt that the game was almost done, and said, "Do you want me to scold this Gareka, right?"

Some of the reporters lowered their heads, and some turned their heads away. They were a little embarrassed, but they agreed.

"Actually, it's not just you who think so, this Gareka must also think so. He just wants to be scolded by me and then become popular, so I don't scold him."

The reporters looked at each other, what does this mean?Oh, it turns out that Li Guo hasn't changed, just changed a strategy, everyone, look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Li Guo will say next.

"Let me tell you that there are strict levels in the football coaching circle. For example, Ferguson is a top coach, and I am in the middle."

"So what's Gareca's class," someone interrupted.

"Do you know Chen An?"

"Yes, your assistant."

"This Gareka can be Chen An's assistant."

With a bang, someone finally burst out laughing. Li Guo was still the same Li Guo, and someone continued to ask, "Li Guo, are you disrespecting your opponent again?"

Li Guo put on an innocent expression, "You reporters are disgusting. If I don't tell the truth, you are dissatisfied. Now I speak from the bottom of my heart, but you say I don't respect my opponent. That's fine. You can write whatever you like?"

After speaking, Li Guo made a gesture to leave, "Hey, don't leave, we still have problems."

"Then ask quickly, my time is precious."

"Does the Chinese team have a goal for this America's Cup?"

"It didn't exist in the first place, but now it does, it's going to beat up Peru." After finishing speaking this time, Li Guo really left.

Soon the news spread, and Gareka saw it too. He just chuckled, "You want to beat me up? Haha, that depends on your ability."
