Godfather of national football

Chapter 576
Ghana, a small country in West Africa, is a football powerhouse. Looking back at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, if it weren't for Suarez's handball, Ghana would have become the first African team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup.

Li Guo brought the national team players to Accra, the capital of Ghana. The opponent of the Chinese team in the group stage was an African team. The purpose of coming to Ghana was to play a warm-up match with Ghana.

This is the first time for the national football team to come to Africa. Unlike my impression, Ghana is actually not bad, not as bad as I imagined. Except for a few tall buildings, the streets are still clean.

"It's okay here, I thought Africa was terrible," Mu Fei said.

"It also depends on the situation. For example, countries like Ghana and South Africa are better. Of course, most of them are really bad."

The Ghanaian side was very enthusiastic about the arrival of the Chinese team, and they sent Mukulu, who can speak Chinese, as a reception.

When the car slowly drove into a gate, the players' eyes widened. It was so beautiful here.

It turned out that for the sake of safety, Ghana did not arrange for the national football team to stay in a hotel, but in a place that usually entertains foreign guests.

When I got out of the car, a black man in traditional costume came oncoming, but he spoke fluent Chinese.

"Hi, I'm your fan," Mukuru said.

"Hi, this is my first time in Ghana, it's beautiful."

"Damn, there are giraffes," Mu Fei fussed. In fact, the area around the station is Ghana's national parks. This is very common in many places, and there is no contradiction between natural protection and human development.

Mukulu said with a smile: "If you like, I can take you to see it later, but it is still quite dangerous to take a jeep in the national park."

Mu Fei nodded.

After arranging the room, Li Guo approached Mukulu to talk about the warm-up match. In terms of major principles, the two parties had agreed in advance. For example, all the ticket revenue should go to Ghana, and Ghana would be responsible for entertaining the Chinese team throughout the process.

"I hope that the warm-up match will be like a real game, with real swords and guns. I hope the team understands real African football."

Mukuru nodded, "Don't worry, Garner won't concede the ball."

Li Guo chuckled, the opponent might have misunderstood the idea, Li Guo was afraid that the Chinese team would score too many goals, and finally Ghana was in a hurry. Li Guo heard that violence in African stadiums is not uncommon.

But Li Guo is too embarrassed to say anything further, Ghana is a strong team, and the players are all playing in Europe, so he should have a sense of proportion.

"I'm direct, so don't worry about it. I heard that the safety of African stadiums is very poor. Is the safety of my players guaranteed during the game?"

Mukuru smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, at least there have been no problems in the international competitions held in Ghana. Stadium violence, even in Europe."

Li Guo nodded. Many people still have prejudices and misunderstandings about African countries, and Li Guo is the same, so he can only learn about it slowly.

"Go, go see the giraffe," Mu Fei shouted excitedly.

Mukulu drove a red Jeep Wrangler, and it was reinforced. Mukulu said that no animal can harm the car unless it encounters an elephant.

Mu Fei, Geng Chong, Micro Motion Yi, and Zhang Yuning wanted to see the vast grasslands of Africa. Mukulu set off with the four of them. Before leaving, Li Guo specifically asked them to pay attention to safety.

"It's the same as the Africa I saw on TV when I was a kid, and that's how I think Africa should be."

"Did you watch The Lion King when you were a kid?" Micro Motion asked.

"correct."

Mukulu chuckled: "There are really lions here."

"Really? Then..."

"Don't worry, there will be no danger, the premise is that you must not get out of the car."

Mu Fei blushed, "Then what should I do?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"I have a water bottle."

"But... a lot of people are watching here."

Mukulu asked puzzledly: "They are all men, what are you afraid of?"

Mu Fei was so sweaty that he couldn't say anything.

After the car drove for a certain distance, a group of wild dogs was nearby. Mu Fei hated this kind of wild dogs the most, because in The Lion King, this kind of animals belonged to the villains.

"That stuff is bad."

Wild dogs look like wolves, with fierce eyes, and they are scary at first glance. Gao Zhunyi said: "I have seen the animal world. This kind of hyena is called a hyena. It specializes in attacking single animals, and they fight in groups, biting their prey until they die."

"I really want to shoot it down," Mu Fei said.

"Ah, not good," Zhang Yuning yelled suddenly and scared Mukulu. It turned out that he saw a single African antelope in front of him.

In the African grasslands, this kind of herbivore alone means death, and sure enough, the hyenas soon followed the antelope.

However, the antelopes run fast, and the hyenas couldn’t catch up with them at the beginning, but this was only temporary. Micro Motion, who has seen the animal world, knew that hyenas are extremely intelligent animals. They fight in groups, just like human hunting, and the antelopes will soon be exhausted.

"Not good, the bad things are about to catch up," Mu Fei shouted, "Uncle Mukulu, hurry up and run into those dogs."

Mukulu's forehead was sweating, thinking that this guy has a good sense of justice, but the animals in the national park are protected, and they have their own rules of the game.

"Not good," Mu Fei saw that the antelope had been thrown down, and the only thing waiting for it was the final blow, which was to have its throat bitten off and end its life.

It's all over, and this is what happens every day on the African savannah. Mukulu said: "This is the rule of their game."

Gao Zhunyi said: "Yes, if there were no hyenas, the antelopes would reproduce in large numbers, and in the end there would not be enough food, and they would starve to death."

Mu Fei nodded, "I just can't stand the weak being bullied."

Mukulu patted Mu Fei, "You are a guy with a sense of justice, very good, I like you."

"Haha."

Mu Fei couldn't bear to watch the dogs enjoying their lunch, "Uncle Mukulu, let's go back."

"Ok."

Back at the station, there was a person jogging on the lawn. It was the captain Zhou Dun. While the others were still adjusting their physical condition, Zhou Dun had already started training.

"The captain is too hard-working," Gao Zhunyi said. In his heart, Zhou Dun is his number one idol. Mu Fei also said, "Yeah, no wonder he can go to Barcelona."

"Don't worry about it, you can do it too," Zhang Yuning said.

Mu Fei put on an old-fashioned tone: "It's late, Brother Mu is getting old, and the national football team will depend on you from now on."

Zhang Yuning chuckled: "It's nothing, the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach."

"Hehe, boy, you are old, Brother Mu, but you still have the strength to beat you up."
