Godfather of national football

Chapter 70 I want to challenge Brazil
After the program of Li Guo, Li Zibing, and Huang Jianxiang was broadcast, it is said that tens of millions of people watched the program, many people liked it online, and of course there were even more people complaining about it. This is the Internet age.

But one thing is certain, that is, the program is very successful, and some people even say that programs that do not interact with netizens have no future.

Some people are happy and some are worried. CCTV and the General Administration of Sports are a little annoyed by this matter. CCTV originally holds the exclusive copyright of the Olympic Games.Forget it, he went to Penguin.com to participate in the live broadcast.

On the side of the General Administration, Director Feng was already furious. Li Guo had only won two games and he was so powerful. The Olympic champion was not as high-profile as him.In the eyes of Director Feng, Li Guo is an unruly Bi Mawen. He has a little bit of ability, but sooner or later he will be photographed at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, and he will never be able to turn himself over.

Director Feng's face was gloomy, and he thought to himself: "It's not uncommon for people in the Chinese sports circle to jump out and challenge the authority, but all of them have been photographed, even the little diving prince who won the Olympic champion."

At this moment, the staff of the Football Association called, "Would you like to watch the third game against Brazil?"

Director Feng didn't want to watch it at first, but when he heard it was Brazil, he thought to himself: "I guess Li Guo will definitely be abused in this game. Brazil is the kingdom of football. Okay, watching Li Guo being disgusted is also a kind of entertainment."

"Okay, I'll go see it."

*****
The third game of the national football team will be held at QHD, so just take the bus directly from the Xianghe base.

The players were very calm along the way. In the era without smartphones, the only entertainment for everyone on the bus was to listen to MP3.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Li Guo was thinking about the next game, Brazil!This is a great name in the football circle. Although Li Guo does not think that Brazilian football is suitable for China, the reason is very simple. The personality of Brazilians is very different from that of Chinese. China is a more rigorous nation, so Li Guo always believes that German football is more suitable for China.

But the magnificence of Brazilian football is beyond doubt. Li Guo wants to play against Samba football in this game, that is, to play against Brazil, but he doesn’t know if his idea will be unreliable. If he loses too much, will he lose all the little confidence he has accumulated so hard?
"Chen An, I want to play against Brazil in the last group match, what do you think?"

Chen An shook his head, "To be honest, we don't have such strength yet,"

"I know this, but such an opportunity is rare. I want to see how far we are from the five-star Brazil?"

Chen An was a little puzzled, "Then it's fine to arrange a warm-up match if we have a chance in the future. Now it's the Olympics, and you usually offend so many people. If the national football team loses by a big score, then we won't have to be sprayed to death."

Chen An seemed to disagree. Li Guo turned to Robin Dutt, told Dutt exactly what he had said, and got the same answer. Dutt started from the rules of sports, and the cup is about stability. If there is a sudden click and a big setback, the players may not be able to adjust before the quarterfinals.

Li Guo knew that Chen An and Robin were right, and very right, but he just wanted to challenge Brazil. Maybe in his previous life, he was stimulated by watching the 2002 World Cup group match. Li Guo vaguely felt that his thoughts were also the thoughts of Chinese fans.

*****
There is a bar in southern China. The name of the bar is Arsenal. It is a bar for Arsenal fans, but today it has become a bar for Chinese fans. Because many places in China can’t watch the live broadcast of the Premier League, so the bar with the theme of the Premier League is very popular.

Every weekend, coming to the bar to order a glass of beer and watch a Premier League game has become an important leisure activity for many office workers.

Xiao Zheng is one of them. Every weekend, he will definitely come here to watch football and drink. When he came to the bar today, the inside was already overcrowded. He squeezed out an aisle, and Xiao Zheng finally came to a table near the big screen.

After sitting down, Xiao Zheng was about to order a drink, when he saw a familiar figure from the back at the same table, looked carefully, and Xiao Zheng called out "Dad".

The gray-haired old man turned around, and Xiao Zheng burst into laughter, "Dad, how did you teach me? The bar is a place full of smog, why are you here today?"

"The broken TV at home is on strike. I want to watch the national football game. For the sake of the country, I will make an exception."

Xiao Zheng saw that his father's table was empty, so he called for two bottles of beer, "Dad, you'll know later, it's exciting to watch the game together."

Lao Zheng didn’t speak. He has experienced too much in his life. He experienced the black 1989 minutes of the 3 World Cup qualifiers. He experienced the success of the Chinese team in the World Cup in 2001. He experienced the narrow defeat of Japan in the 2004 Asian Cup final.

But to say that for so many years, the most memorable match of the national football team was the match against Brazil in the group stage in 2002. It was that match that made Lao Zheng see the gap between Chinese football and the world's top.

"Son, you said that after so many years, has the gap between us and Brazilian football narrowed?"

This question is difficult to answer. If the game is not optimistic later, then Dad will be sad, so Xiao Zheng said: "Anyway, they have qualified for the group stage, so let it go."

Old Zheng said solemnly: "It's different,"

"Why is it different?"

Lao Zheng stretched out his left hand, raised it high, and said, "Brazilian football is here, and it is the top in the world. Compared with Brazilian football, we know our position."

Xiao Zheng knew that his father was a veteran and used to be an artilleryman, so he had to look for references first when doing anything, which was considered a professional habit.

Xiao Zheng held his father's left hand, "Dad, you have to eat every bite. This is the principle you taught me since childhood, so no matter what happens later, don't get excited."

"Well, as long as I lose a little less this time than in 2002, I'm satisfied."

Xiao Zheng chuckled, thinking it was a bit difficult, after all, the Brazilian team was full of strong players, "Anyway, you just need to take it easy."

During the conversation, there was a lot of noise in the bar. It turned out that the players from the Brazilian team came out to warm up. Lao Zheng looked at it, and he didn't know anyone except Ronaldinho.

Lao Zheng asked his son, "Who is the strongest in this Brazilian team?"

Xiao Zheng pointed to a young man on the left side of the screen, and said, "He is the strongest in the Brazilian team now. He plays for AC Milan and is known as Pato, the golden boy of Brazil."
