Li Menghua interrupted Guo Shucheng's words and said, "I know, didn't I come today to find you to open the back door?" I would like to ask you to take care of them and let them also train abroad with several other sports groups, play with foreign teams, and communicate. ”

A trace of disdain flashed on Guo Zhuocheng's face, and there was even a trace of disgust.

However, Li Menghua, who has been paying attention to him, caught this look, and couldn't help but feel cold, but still insisted: "The level of football in my country is still good, and football is far more attractive and influential than other games in everyone's minds." Even if football is not played as an important international competition, there are far more people who care about it than about other competitions, and there is no competition that will outweigh the impact of football.

If athletes in volleyball, basketball, swimming and other sports go abroad to train, while our football players are confined to their own country, it will be too big a blow to them. Director Guo, I assure you, the main thing is to let them go out more, China's football will definitely take off, and it will definitely be able to win glory for China in the Olympic Games, these young men are all good. ”

Seeing Li Menghua begging himself as a minister, Guo Chengcheng hesitated, quickly recalled the situation of Chinese football in recent years, and thought about whether he wanted to help men's football.

In fact, Guo Zhuocheng's impression of men's football is still in his previous life, he was once young, like other young people, he was very fond of football, and he also liked to watch football games, especially high-level football games made him enthusiastic.

Although the level of men's football in his previous life has not been high, and he has repeatedly failed to qualify for the World Cup and even the Olympic Games, he has also looked forward to the next time many times, hoping that the next time Chinese football can give people a surprise.

Because he is convinced of one thing: football is round.

It's just that Chinese football has disappointed fans and football lovers for the majority of fans, disappointment and disappointment. In the end, there is only despair, crushing the people who love this sport to death. There are even some depressing news from football players, who are not good at playing football, but are very good at doing bad things.

So much so that he still has no interest in men's football after he is reborn.

Carefully recalling the sports information that I have learned after my rebirth, from a fair point of view, the current level of Chinese football is still good, at least in Asia.

In 1981, when they hit the World Cup football match in Spain, the Chinese team also played a few good games that excited the Chinese people, and outstanding athletes such as Gu Guangming, Rong Zhixing, Huang Xiangdong, and Shen Xiangfu appeared.

In the group round, China defeated North Korea Shun Lì 4:2 to enter the Asian regional finals. Among them, Huang Xiangdong scored two goals. According to the draw group, the Chinese team welcomed three teams: New Zealand, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

In the first game, the Chinese team was unfavorable, and it was extremely unsuitable for New Zealand's rough English style of play, and the whole game was relatively passive, and the home team not only failed to win the opponent. Instead, it hurt Rong Zhixing, the core of the court.

The two countries fought again, and the result was even worse, 0:1, lost.

China's third game against Kuwait with one loss and one draw made the hearts of the Chinese hang. Because the Kuwait team is the Asian Cup champion, it is the seeded team in this group.

People don't have much hope for the Chinese team to qualify, but the Chinese athletes have given an unexpected surprise to those who care about them:

Shortly after the start of the competition. Kuwait won a penalty, and the whole field was quiet all of a sudden, but a good Li Fusheng made a beautiful side save. pressed the ball tightly under him, and the audience roared with joy.

After the Chinese team became familiar with the opponent's style of play, the offensive began to gain the upper hand, and the two wingers Gu Guangming and Shen Xiangfu frequently tore apart the opponent's defense. Approximately 30 minutes. Gu Guangming made another breakthrough and succeeded, and passed on Liu Lifu. The latter made a beautiful cross, and Rong Zhixing, who inserted the ball at the back point, arrived and opened the opponent's door with a header that he was not good at - 1:0.

Soon after, the Chinese team made a comeback, Rong Zhixing passed the ball in the middle, Liu Lifu passed behind him, and Gu Guangming volleyed it, 2:0!

In the following game, the two wingers of the Chinese team continued to exert strong pressure on Kuwait, and Shen Xiangfu even came to the goal with a backward header, which was amazing!

Kuwait attacked after the start of the second half, but just when the opponent's offensive was in full swing, the Chinese team scored again, this time it was the left winger Shen Xiangfu, who received a pass from his Beijing teammate Liu Lifu and quickly counterattacked, 3:0!

This score was finally maintained to the end, and the Chinese team won one win, one loss and one draw.

After winning Kuwait, the Chinese team left for Kuala Lumpur to face Saudi Arabia. Because China and Saudi Arabia did not have diplomatic relations, the competition had to be held in Singapore. Before the war, the Chinese team made certain preparations for the opponent and studied the characteristics of some players. But after the game started, the Chinese team was blinded all of a sudden, because the jersey numbers of the Saudis had all changed, such as Majid, who usually wears the No. 9 jersey, wore the No. 20 jersey, and the Chinese team was completely incorrect.

When the Chinese team was at a loss, they scored two goals in a row soon after the opening - 0:2! The Chinese team had an extremely unfavorable start and did not recover until the end of the first half.

In the second half, Shen Xiangfu and Liu Lifu were replaced, Zuo Shusheng and Chen Jingang came on the field, and soon, the Chinese team began to reverse the situation on the field and slowly gained the upper hand. In the 60th minute, Zuo Shusheng received Gu Guangming's cross and pulled back a goal first - 1:2.

Only two minutes later, Chen Jingang received Rong Zhixing's header ferry to equalize the score 2:2!

At this time, the Chinese team was already like a rainbow, and Gu Guangming received Rong Zhixing's pass and overtook the score 3:2 with a wonderful volley!

Huang Xiangdong even knocked the corner kick sent by Rong Zhixing into the goal with the ball!

Before the end, Huang Xiangdong scored a goal, but it was ruled offside, but this did not matter, and the Chinese team had already sealed the victory.

In this battle, Rong Zhixing scored a hat trick to help the merit, and the Chinese team also completed a big reversal.

So far, the Chinese team's record has changed to two wins, one loss and one draw.

A week later, the Chinese team played the Saudi team again, this time the Chinese team found out the details of the Saudis, and took the initiative soon after the opening, the game lasted more than 20 minutes, Huang Xiangdong received Rong Zhixing's pass, and a long-range shot from outside the penalty area opened the scoring;

Only 5 minutes later, Cai Jinbiao received a corner kick from Rong Zhixing, and the header was written as 2:0!

The score remained until the end.

At this time, the Chinese team's record has changed to three wins, one loss and one draw, and the points have also jumped to the first place in the Asia-Pacific region.

However, God played a joke on the Chinese.

Under the obvious unfair decision of the Chinese referee in Singapore, the Chinese team lost 0:1 away to Kuwait. Kuwait then secured qualification with four wins over Saudi Arabia, while New Zealand drew with Kuwait and had to have a goal difference of more than five against Saudi Arabia in the final game to qualify.

Just when everyone thought that New Zealand could not get such a disparity in the score against the Saudi team, the New Zealand team scored five goals at Saudi Arabia's home stadium, and all five goals were completed in the first half!

I have to say that football is really round.

The Chinese team missed the World Cup.

China's failure to qualify for the World Cup this time can be said to be the responsibility of non-athletes.

The Chinese team also had a good time in 1982, as they competed in the Nehru Gold Cup in India, one of the highest level invitational tournaments of the era. The Chinese team defeated Italy and Yugoslavia, and drew with the Uruguayan national team, which also did not enter the World Cup that year but is still a world powerhouse, and entered the final with two wins and three draws.

In the final match, although they lost 0:2 against Uruguay again, the result was satisfactory.

Although men's football at this time can still be called a failure, they are the heroes of failure, and their tenacity and spirit of not admitting defeat are very admirable, far better than those footballers in previous lives.

Guo Zhuocheng obviously brought his disappointment with men's football in his previous life to this life, so that he was not interested in the project at all, and did not want to spend too much energy on it at all.

However, at the request of Li Menghua, Guo Zhuocheng felt that he was indeed too subjective, maybe from now on he would pay more attention to the foreign exchange of football, adhere to his own characteristics, learn from the strengths of others, and strengthen the improvement of athletes' physical qualities, maybe he will give the Chinese people a different football, and will not make football an eternal pain for the Chinese people.

However, Guo Zhuocheng knows his flaws, because he doesn't understand football at all, and he doesn't know how to improve the level of Chinese football, and the only thing he can do is to spend money, which is to provide enough money for the football team.

He has the strength and ability to make the budget of Chinese football at the same level as that of rich foreign football teams, and even make Chinese football teams, athletes, and coaches the richest teams, athletes, and coaches in the world, the richest athletes, and the highest-paid coaches, but he is not sure that these funds will be effective.

Guo Shucheng said in his heart: "Let's invest a batch of funds first, who says that I have always had a football dream in my heart?" Who says most young people have a football complex? Football is so exciting, if the Chinese team is lucky enough to improve the level, what a happy thing it would be, it is really worth betting! ”

He silently planned in his heart: "Invest a sum of money, and then wait a few years, if there is an effect, I will increase the investment, if it doesn't work, then forget it." I don't want to add a frustrating factor to myself. ”

Thinking of this, he said to Li Menghua: "Director Li, your instructions are very good, I will follow your instructions." I will arrange additional funds to the National Sports Commission to increase the salaries of football players, coaches and other personnel, for the construction of several football training bases, and also for them to go abroad for training, exchanges, and competitions, and at the same time, we can also provide funds to invite football teams from other countries to play in our country. ”
