Godfather of national football

Chapter 99

"The Olympic champion is coming,"

The South Korean stick can't see that Chinese football is better than them, so when the Chinese team came to Seoul with the Olympic champion this time, the depression in the hearts of Koreans can be imagined.

The head coach of the South Korean team, Heo Jong-moo, gave his all for the first game of the top 10 match, calling back all the best players in South Korea.

Among them, several players have to be mentioned. The first one is the bitter master of the Chinese team, Li Dongguo, who has met many times since the National Olympics.

Speaking of Li Dongguo, the older generation of Chinese fans will still remember that he will score goals in almost every match against the Chinese team. He is known as the biggest killer of the Korean team against the Chinese team.

But now Lee Dong-guk is getting older, and the South Korean team has a new striker rising up, that is Park Joo-young.

Park Joo-young simply said that the technology is better.Lee Dong-guk, who is not good at heading and protecting the ball, and Park Joo-young's free kick is very good.

In terms of midfield, the South Korean team is a combination of old and new, with the old superstar Park Ji-sung and the new generation Lee Chung-yong and Ki Sung-yong.

In addition, I have to mention the goalkeeper of the South Korean team, Li Yunzai. Fans who watched the 2002 World Cup still remember that there were three goalkeepers in that World Cup.

In fact, a rough analysis shows that Korean football is still the top team in Asia. Although Bangzi is proud, Bangzi is also capable.

*****
After the Chinese team came to Seoul, it gave the outside world the feeling of two words-openness.

The training is open to the media, and the players are also open to interviews. Some people even feel that the Chinese team is not here to play the top 10, but to travel.

What's even more exaggerated is that Li Guo actually took the whole team to visit Myeongdong, causing the traffic near Myeongdong to be paralyzed for several hours.

South Korea’s KBS followed and filmed the Chinese team as soon as the Chinese team arrived. At the prime time of 8 o’clock that night, KBS broadcast the harvest of the day’s shooting. The Korean audience was dumbfounded, “Has the Chinese team gone to Myeongdong?”

"Is the Chinese team TM going to Lotte World tomorrow?"

"Is the Chinese team here to travel!!"

After watching the TV, South Korean netizens were filled with righteous indignation, and all went online to scold, "The Chinese team looks down on people too much."

"Isn't it great to win an Olympic champion!!"

"Boys in South Korea, if you lose to the Chinese team, then you can dig coal."

"Digging coal? Isn't that what the **** does?"

"Haha, no, it belongs to us gangsters, oh, I accidentally told the truth."

"Anyway, no matter what, we cannot lose to the Chinese team, and Korean-phobia must not end."

"Correct!"

*****
One day before the start of the game, when the Chinese team was eating breakfast at the hotel, everyone noticed the newspaper on the table, which was a newspaper with a large circulation in South Korea - "Chosun Ilbo", and a big slogan appeared on the front page. Everyone didn't know what it meant, but looking at the picture below, it seemed that it should be related to the upcoming game.

I called a translator and asked, and it turns out that the translation into Chinese is three words-Koreaphobia.

The article analyzes the history of the confrontation between China and South Korea. The Chinese team is at an absolute disadvantage. An embarrassing record is that the Chinese team has never won the Korean team in official competitions.

Although this was a long time ago, it is obviously brought out now to disgust the Chinese team.

Flipping through the newspaper, Mu Fei said, "It's just a few games lost, so why fear Korea? The Koreans are really brazen."

"Yes, I have a few classmates who understand Korean. It is said that during the competition, the Koreans will hold up the slogan of Hanphobia to disgust our Chinese team," Geng Chong continued.

"Wretched," Mu Fei said.

"Soldiers are not tired of cheating, and they will do everything in order to win," Fang Suo said.

In fact, Chinese people of Mu Fei’s age really don’t know what Koreanphobia is. They feel like a fairy tale. They really don’t know where Koreans’ sense of superiority comes from.

But Li Weifeng of the older generation is very aware of this. In the past, South Korea not only had better football than us, but also had a better economy than us, so Bangzi looked very proud.

Li Weifeng took a sip of coffee and said, "Koreans are still living in the 90s. In their eyes, we Chinese still can't afford mobile phones."

Everyone laughed, and Mu Fei said, "Head, don't be polite to them at the press conference this afternoon."

Li Guo raised his head and said, "You are polite? Hehe, I don't have these two words in my dictionary."

*****
At the Seoul World Cup Stadium, the pre-match press conference is underway. South Korea is the home team. They will take questions first. Xu Jungmo talked about the overall plan for the top 10 match, and said that the goal of the South Korean team is not only to go to South Africa, but also to strive to qualify for the group stage.

"I don't deny that Asian football has made rapid progress, but we, South Korea, are still the leader in Asian football. There is no doubt about this."

"What is your goal for tomorrow's game?"

Talking about the goal, Xu Dingmao seemed a little cautious, "I hope it will be a satisfactory result."

As soon as these words came out, the South Korean reporters at the scene felt aggrieved. They knew that Xu Dingmao lacked confidence. Facing the Olympic champion, the South Korean team was actually timid.

In the past, the South Korean coach would definitely say that he must win, but now even his tone seems hesitant.

When it was Li Guo's turn, the South Korean reporters were fully engaged. First, the South Korean reporter asked, "What do you think of Korean-phobia?"

"Sorry, I've only heard of acrophobia, what is Korean phobia? Did you create a new term yourself?"

With a pop, laughter erupted at the scene, which made the reporters present very embarrassed. Then a reporter said: "The Chinese team has never won the Korean team in official competitions. Aren't they afraid of South Korea?"

Li Guo immediately replied: "You have never touched a woman before you made your first girlfriend. Does this prove that you are afraid of women?"

The laughter became louder at the scene. Li Guo's words were rough and unreasonable. The South Korean reporter blushed and became angry, "Li Guo, can you answer directly. This is a press conference, not a place to tell jokes."

Li Guo expressed embarrassment, "I don't think I'm afraid of South Korea. I'll know after tomorrow's game. It seems pointless to fight for it now."

The South Korean reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, this time they had nothing to say.

The last bit of time is reserved for the Chinese journalists. After a year of contact, the Chinese journalists have gotten to know Li Guo very well, so they asked: "Director Li, I only have one question. How many do you plan to win in tomorrow's competition?"

Li Guo chuckled, "Win three, I dare not say more."

After the press conference, the manuscripts of the Korean journalists were basically empty, because the manuscripts could not be written. In the end, everyone decided to ignore him and wait for tomorrow's game.
