Godfather of national football

Chapter 513 Journey to Ecuador ([-])

"Li Guo, I'm going to Ecuador for a one-day interview, see you later."

This is Li Zibing's message to Li Guo on WeChat. Li Guo replied to many messages, but he didn't reply. It is estimated that the network over there is not good.

The media on the online platform is quite competitive, because the second opponent of the Chinese team is Ecuador, so Li Zibing and Liu Jianhong took advantage of the truce to go to Ecuador for a one-day interview.

On the plane, Liu Jianhong said to Li Zibing: "Did you know that Ecuador's home field has the highest winning percentage in the World Cup qualifiers in South America."

"I've heard that it seems to be because of the high altitude."

"Yes," Liu Jianhong nodded.

"Mr. Jianhong, I don't understand. In fact, many countries in South America have highland courses, such as Bolivia and Peru. Why can Ecuador always qualify from the South American region, while other teams cannot."

Liu Jianhong shook his head, "I don't know about that either. It stands to reason that among the three countries, Ecuador's altitude is still the lowest."

It is because there are too many mysteries that the two look forward to this journey even more.

The moment Li Zibing got off the plane in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, Li Zibing felt a headache. The altitude here was almost 3000 meters. This time, due to normal altitude sickness, the flight attendant politely helped Li Zibing.

Li Zibing and Liu Jianhong went ahead with the original plan after putting down their salutes at the hotel. First, they took pictures of the street football culture in this country.

In South America, street football is very lively in almost all countries. For example, in Mexico, people playing football can be seen casually on the beach. The people here are very poor, but a football can make them happy.

Walking on the streets of Quito, Li Zibing swiped her phone while walking, "Damn it, the internet is down, I don't know if Li Guo saw my message."

"Just leave for a day, Director Li is not that fragile," Liu Jianhong said, reminding Li Zibing that since he is here, he should focus on work.

"Hehe, sorry, I was distracted."

As I was walking, I saw a bronze-skinned street football player with braids. Li Zibing wanted to pay after watching it for a while, but Liu Jianhong stopped him, "The street is full of people of this level, so it's not worth paying. Let's continue to look."

Li Zibing hesitated for a moment, but put away the money. The two continued to walk. Along the way, they saw many street football players. Li Zibing thought it was quite exciting, but Liu Jianhong had been to South America for reports before, so he knew that this level of football was not worth watching.

"Teacher Jianhong, we've been walking for a long time, I think these are pretty good, what are you looking for?"

"I don't know either, but I'm looking for something that catches my eye, as long as I see it, I'll know it."

After walking for a long time, I couldn't find that kind of street football artist with special skills. The two were hungry, so Li Zibing went shopping for food. After more than 10 minutes, Li Zibing ran back.

Seeing that Li Zibing was empty-handed, Liu Jianhong asked, "Did you soften your heart and give the money to someone else?"

"No, come with me."

Liu Jianhong didn't know why, but when he saw Li Zibing in a hurry, he probably had something to do, so he quickly followed.

Walking to a large open space, Liu Jianhong was also stunned by the scene in front of him. He saw a person standing on a high tower crane.

"It's not dribbling, it's killing," Liu Jianhong said.

"Never mind, hurry up and shoot."

"Oh,"

The only way to carry the ball on the tower crane is to keep bouncing the ball while walking forward, or you can use your head to head the ball, and then don’t step on the ground under your feet. If the ball falls, the challenge will fail. If the person falls, then...

In addition to Liu Jianhong and Li Zibing, there were many other media filming and reporting, which was a bit like domestic high-altitude tightrope walking.

"Do you think he will fall?" Li Zibing asked.

"How do I know, I hope not."

Li Zibing didn't dare to look at it. The scene was too exciting and terrifying. With a burst of applause, the challenge began. The man on the high altitude was walking forward while bouncing the ball. When the high altitude was windy, he would stop the ball with his instep and rest for a while.

The tower crane is about 50 meters away. The challenge is to go out and then walk back. The first half went smoothly, but when the return trip came, something happened!

A gust of wind shook the tower crane, and the performer's ball was blown away. He almost lost his footing when trying to save the ball. Fortunately, he hugged the steel column on the tower crane at a critical moment.

The challenge must have failed, but thunderous applause broke out at the scene, because those who dare to stand up are already heroes.

When he came down, the media rushed to him, and Liu Jianhong protected Li Zibing. This is the darling of Director Li. If someone squeezed him in, Li Guo would definitely go mad.

But Li Zibing pushed Liu Jianhong away, "Why are you going?"

"Go interview him, what a material."

"Hehe, forget it, there are a lot of people, I'm afraid Director Li will blame me."

"Hehe," Li Zibing gave Liu Jianhong a blank look, "Is he your father or your boss?"

"No, but in the Chinese football circle, he can block me with one word."

Li Zibing chuckled, "Shut up, come with me quickly."

At this time, Li Zibing looked like a bit of a woman, and he squeezed in with Liu Jianhong to do an interview. The one who performed at high altitude just now saw the two Asian faces from a distance, and felt that it was fresh, so he took the initiative to say, "Hello."

But he spoke Spanish.

Li Zibing and Liu Jianhong were stunned, oh my god, I forgot to find an interpreter, but they were even more surprised at what happened later, when he said in English, "Do you speak English?"

"meeting!"

Liu Jianhong poked Li Zibing with his elbow, meaning we should introduce ourselves.

Li Zibing came to his senses and introduced himself. The other party was also very easy-going, "My name is Ayovi, from Chile."

"What?" Liu Jianhong was surprised, and the native dialect came out, and Ayovi chuckled, "Yes, I'm not a local."

Just for a while, Li Zibing and Liu Jianhong had too many questions in their hearts, Li Zibing asked: "Then can we find a place to chat."

"Yes, but I still have to accept a few interviews," Ayovi pointed to the cafe in the distance, "If you want, can you wait for me there?"

"of course."

When walking back, Liu Jianhong was still thinking to himself, "Strange things, strange things, I encountered too many strange things today."

"What are you thinking, Teacher Jianhong?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I just think that person just now is a weirdo."
