Godfather of national football

Chapter 69 Let's Talk About Football
Media Center of Penguin Olympic Reporting Group.

Today is the first time since the start of the Olympic Games that this studio is full of seats, because a big person is coming, he is the head coach of the Chinese national team Li Guo, and the organizer also announced in advance that there will be a mysterious guest on the show.

Li Guo's way of appearance is also very special. He sits on the shoulders of two professional Mongolian wrestlers and is carried up by them, as if he is a winner.

"Li Guo,"

"Li Guo,"

"Li Guo,"

There was a burst of shouting at the scene, and Li Guo waved at everyone, and when he got off the wrestler's shoulders, Li Zibing went up to him and asked, "Coach Li, how is this appearance?"

"Not bad, just a little dizzy."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and then Li Zibing asked Li Guo to sit down. The program was in the form of dialogue, not as strict as TV programs, and it seemed more relaxed and interesting.

Li Zibing and Li Guo were sitting on the couch, and the audience was not far away. As soon as the show started, Li Zibing gave the audience a chance to ask questions, first to heat up the atmosphere of the scene, and then the show would be easy.

And the audience who chooses to ask questions is also a knowledge. Li Zibing chose a child in the front row.

"Hello coach, I also want to become a national player in the future, but my parents let me study hard, what should I do?"

After the child finished asking, everyone at the scene laughed. The question was asked innocently, and Li Guo also smiled cooperatively, "How old are you?"

"6 years old,"

"Did you know that studying and playing football are not contradictory, and even complement each other."

"I'm sorry, coach, what does it mean to complement each other?" the child continued to ask.

After a while, everyone laughed more happily. Seeing the little boy's round face and innocent eyes, I really wanted to go up and touch him.

Li Guo continued: "Complementing each other means that playing football can help learning."

Seeing that many adults at the scene didn't take these words seriously, thinking they were trying to coax a child, Li Guo said seriously: "I didn't say this to coax this kid, but I really think so, because playing football well requires a lot of intelligence."

Aren't all football players simple-minded and well-developed?Still need to be smart?This is what most people think.

Li Guo is very clear about this, because in his previous life, Li Guo's parents thought so. Li Guo looked at the children at the scene, and he knew that for adults, many things have already been fixed in their minds.

"I don't want to explain anything, but what I'm going to tell you is, if you want to play football, do it and don't worry about anything."

At this time, a parent couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Coach Li, there are only a few people who can become professional players. If you delay your studies and fail to pass the college entrance examination, it will delay your child's life."

Li Guo said patiently: "What you said is also reasonable, I think you should have your own children."

The other side nodded.

Li Guo continued: "Then can I ask you a question?"

"of course can."

"I'll give you two choices. First, your child is admitted to Tsinghua University but is sick. Second, your child can only be admitted to a regular university but is healthy. Which one would you choose?"

"Of course it's the second type." Li Guo fell into deep thought after speaking. "I have worked and lived in Germany for a long time. Almost every healthy boy in this country can play football, but it seems that no child has delayed his studies because of playing football."

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene turned cold, Li Zibing quickly said: "I will leave this question for everyone to think about. Next, we have to invite today's mysterious guest."

The raised floor in the middle of the studio slowly rose, and a familiar figure appeared in front of everyone. He was Huang Jianxiang.

The moment he saw Huang Jianxiang, Li Guo was still very excited. In his previous life, he grew up watching Huang Jianxiang's commentary.

So Li Guo stepped forward and said, "Jianxiang, I grew up watching your commentary."

Jianxiang's forehead was sweating, and he thought to himself: "Brother, you are older than me," but Jianxiang didn't say it out, "Coach Li, you are so kind."

At this time, the director told Li Guo through the headset, "Coach, you are 3 years older than Huang Jianxiang." Only then did Li Guo realize that he had made a slip of the tongue.

After the three sat down, they began to chat about football. Li Zibing first asked Huang Jianxiang how he felt about the first two games.

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Didn't you get kicked out by CCTV just because you loved to tell the truth?" Li Zibing asked back.

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Huang Jianxiang shrugged, "Well, I watched the first two games. To be honest, I don't feel like I'm watching the Chinese team play."

"Jianxiang, let me remind you that this program will be watched by netizens all over the country," Li Zibing said with a smile.

Jianxiang chuckled, "I feel that the Chinese team has a spirit that the previous Chinese team did not have. I even feel that I am watching the German team. I don't know if this is the change that Li Guo brought to the national football team."

Li Zibing looked at Li Guo, "What do you think?"

"First of all, I disagree with what Jianxiang said."

The audience at the scene didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and immediately burst into cheers. Li Zibing joked: "It seems that everyone is a bad person."

Li Guo smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I won't quarrel with Jianxiang. Just now Jianxiang said that we should learn from Germany. I disagree with that."

"I think there are some common qualities among human beings, such as bravery, integrity, and tenacity. These qualities do not belong to any specific country."

"But Jianxiang has some words that I agree with. I think Chinese football is indeed changing. There is nothing in the past that I hope to build."

Huang Jianxiang asked: "Coach Li, do you have any longer-term plans for Chinese football?"

Everyone expects Li Guo to show his blueprint, but unexpectedly, Li Guo's answer is very simple - no.

No!

This answer was somewhat disappointing. Li Guo went on to say: "Brazilian football doesn't have any plans. In fact, football is very simple, just two words - happy."

"For example, why am I sitting here today? It's not that I have made any plans for Chinese football, but that I made everyone feel good about two games, and that's enough."

Huang Jianxiang nodded, feeling that Li Guo's football thinking is indeed superior, "Then I hope the national football team can keep us entertained."

"Well, we also hope that Jianxiang can always tell the truth."

Huang Jianxiang looked at Li Zibing and Li Guo, "Don't hurt me, you two."
