Godfather of national football

Chapter 78

"The Saddest Team First in History", this is an article in the Sports Weekly, because the Chinese team and the Brazilian team both won two and drew one in the group stage, but the Chinese team had a good goal difference against New Zealand in the first game, so the Chinese team ended up first in Group C.

In Group D, Italy won the second place in the group and will face China in the quarter-finals.

There are many doubts about this from the outside world. Everyone thinks that Italy is deliberately avoiding the powerful Brazil team. Of course, the Italian coach "Casi Lacy" firmly denies it. "If I had a choice, I would rather avoid the host," these are the original words of Casi Lacy.

Li Guo of the Chinese team is very calm about such a match. "The knockout match is not easy for any team, because there is only one game, and life or death is decided within 90 minutes. I think Italy is a good opponent."

Li Guo saw Italian football for the first time in the 2000 European Cup. In the semi-final against the host Netherlands, San "Toldo" saved a penalty kick like chopping melons and vegetables. In the end, Italy advanced to the final under absolute disadvantage.

After that game, Li Guo knew that there is a kind of defense in this world called "Italy", and there is a kind of defense called "Italy".

This game should be very difficult, so Li Guo specially asked Redondo to practice penalty kicks during training.

At the same time, a survey was launched on Weibo-are you satisfied with the performance of the National Football Team in this Olympic Games?
There are three options, Satisfied, So-so, and Dissatisfied.

The final result is 70% satisfied, 20% generally, and only 10% of people choose not to be satisfied, which can be regarded as an affirmation of the national football team.

The battle with Italy will be held in Tianjin Shuidi Stadium. It will be three days later. In the midst of their busy schedule, all the national football players are invited to watch a track and field competition - the men's 200-meter final in which Bolt participated.

Li Guo readily agreed to this, and the players should relax before the big game, and the players seemed a little excited about it.

You just watched Bolt win the 100-meter championship on TV a few days ago, and witnessed the wonderful scene where Bolt started to celebrate before reaching the finish line of the 100-meter race. It must be very cool for the players to watch Bolt's game live this time.

On the bus to the Bird's Nest, the players kept chatting, and Mu Fei said, "Everyone said that if Bolt plays football, which position is he most suitable for?"

"Forward, he is so fast," Geng Chong said.

"Low back, his figure is comparable to Vieira," Shen Rui said.

"With a height of 1 meters, you can consider playing goalkeeper," Wang Dalei said slightly jokingly.

After the "amateur coaches" expressed their opinions, the professionals also began to speak. First of all, Redondo said, "I don't think Bolt is suitable for football at all. Let's consider playing basketball."

Then there's Robin Dutt.

Robin said: "Forward should be a suitable choice, but the premise is that he is a smart person." After that, everyone was happy, because there is an unspoken consensus in Europe that everyone knows, that is, blacks generally do not do organizational work. If you look at some strong teams in Europe, you will understand that blacks are generally players in the midfield.

It was Li Guo's turn, and everyone was looking forward to Li Guo's answer, "I think in the football world, it is impossible to determine anything by looking at a person's appearance."

"Anyone can play football and anyone can be a footballer, even disabled people."

"Disabled?" Everyone was surprised by Li Guo's answer.

Chen An continued: "Yes, you know Garrincha from Brazil, a great player like Pele, but his legs are deformed, and one leg is shorter than the other."

Many people have heard this story, but no one has seen Garrincha play football. Chen An continued: "Garrincha is too far away from us, so everyone should be familiar with Messi."

This is known to everyone, and everyone knows that Messi suffers from a congenital disease, but the disease did not prevent Messi from becoming a superstar.

Li Guo went on to say: "The greatness of football is that it is not only the most complicated sport, but also a sport that everyone can participate in."

At this point, everyone understands that Li Guo is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking. Anything is possible in the football circle. For example, is it possible for the Chinese team to win Olympic medals?Who knows.

*****
While speaking, the bus drove into the Bird's Nest. This was the second time for the players to come to the Bird's Nest. The feeling was still so shocking, and the appearance of the national football team also caused a commotion on the scene.

"Li Guo,"

"Li Guo,"

"Li Guo,"

Everyone shouted at Li Guo, the players waved, and some female fans shouted "Li Guo, I love you."

But tonight's protagonist is the track and field athletes, specifically Bolt. Everyone is looking forward to it, not only looking forward to Bolt winning the championship, but also looking forward to Bolt breaking Michael Johnson's 12-year-old 200-meter record.

The scene was very quiet before the start of the race. The athletes got ready on the track and waited for the starting gun to go off.

At this time, CCTV's passionate commentary is also ready to go. We all know that two people became popular in the last Olympic Games, one is Liu Feiren, and the other is the track and field commentator who explained Liu Feiren.

With the sound of "the race started" from the commentator, the atmosphere at the scene became suffocating. Bolt started well and had already established an advantage when running around the curve. After entering the straight, there was basically no suspense about the outcome. The only suspense was whether he could break Johnson's record.

When Bolt crossed the line, the timer clearly showed 19 seconds, a new world record!
When the new world record was set, the audience stood up and applauded Bolt. The Olympic Games is amazing, breaking records has become commonplace, so some people say that China is a magical place.

The national football players also stood up and applauded Bolt, "It's really fast," even Chen Gelin, the fastest horse of the Chinese team, couldn't help but praise.

"There are so many miracles in this Olympic Games, first Phelps, now Bolt," Fonso said.

Li Weifeng said with a smile: "Everyone thinks there will be new miracles on the football field."

The other teammates laughed, "It's hard to say, we are no better than Phelps, Bolt lacks arms and legs, if he can break the record, so can we."

After finishing speaking, everyone laughed, and Li Guo who was beside him smiled lightly. He already knew the magic of Bolt, but how far can the Chinese team go?Everything is still unknown.
