The next day, Yi Le quietly left the Bahamas, and before leaving, he sent a message to Kane, Sun Xingmin and others and left.

The main reason is that he is afraid that Sun Xingmin will come over again, this guy is really sticky enough.

Back in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, Yi Le took the same day's flight to the United Kingdom, where he transited back to China.

Actually, he can also transit through the United States, which is closer, but the problem is that he does not have a visa for the United States.

After a bumpy day, Yile finally returned to Beijing Capital Airport.

As always, he kept a low profile, so he didn't notify anyone else, but as soon as he landed, his phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number, and Yi Le hesitated for a moment but connected.

"Hello?"

An old voice came from the other end of the phone, and said with a smile, "Hello, Yi, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, do you have time?" ”

Yi Le was puzzled and said, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm old, I have a bad memory, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Mascello. Lippi! ”

Yi Le's whole body stiffened violently.

His head was empty.

For this big name, he is like thunder, the world's famous 'Silver Fox' Lippi.

A champion coach who led Italy to the World Cup.

And most importantly, this is now the head coach of the Chinese national men's football team.

"First... Sir, I have time, I just got back to Beijing and I ....."

"You're back?" On the other end of the phone, Lippi's voice was a little surprised: "I'm also in the background, it seems that we have a chance to talk face-to-face." ”

Yi Le took a breath and said, "Okay, where am I going to see you?" ”

"I'll ask my assistant to send you the address."

"Okay."

Yi Le put down the phone, he took a deep breath, and his heart was excited.

In less than a minute, the address was sent to Yile's mobile phone, and Yile took a taxi directly to the appointment location.

......

Half an hour later, Yile met with Lippi.

Inside a quiet coffee shop.

With gray hair, a thin cigar in his mouth, and a face full of wrinkles, although he is a little old and his body is no longer strong, his eyes are shining with wisdom from time to time, highlighting the identity of this well-known manager.

Lippi is a little different from the image of Yile in the invisible, and the two managers he came into contact with (Neil. Khalid. Boas) are all flamboyant personalities, but Lippi is a different type.

Quiet and wise, like a Confucian general.

How to say it...

Yi Le is by no means belittling those two, at least this one can feel a handsome atmosphere, unlike Boas, who has to design his own actions and pretend to be unfathomable.

Lippi's voice was a little hoarse, and he laughed; 'The Champions League final, I was there, it was a great game, you played a great game, you deserved to be the number one in football today.

Yi Le was a little flattered and said; "You're wrong."

"You don't need to be modest, young people need to be flamboyant, just like your style of play, fierce, aggressive, and arrogant!"

Yi Le scratched his head a little shyly and said, "Thank you." ”

Lippi looked at Yi Le interestingly, and he didn't talk too much nonsense, and asked directly; "Interested in working with me?"

"Huh?"

Yi Le was stunned.

Lippi laughed: "I'm sorry, there was something wrong with my expression. “

After speaking, he said solemnly; "Yi, now I have invited you to join as the head coach of the Chinese men's national football team, are you willing?"

Yi Le was thrilled and pleasantly surprised: "Can I?" ”

"Why not?!"

Lippi laughed: "It's like the European media said, no one can refuse you." ”

Yi Le's heart was pounding.

Lippi asked, "So, what is your answer?" ”

Yi Le got up and said solemnly; "Please take care of me in the future!"

The two hit it off, and Yile accepted Lippi's invitation.

Of course, Lippi had a lot to talk about, and he pulled out the menu and said, "What do you want to drink?" ”

Yi Le subconsciously said; "Milk or mineral water!"

Lippi nodded; "Good."

Lippi called the waiter in and ordered two drinks.

The waiter looked down and wrote it down, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"You're... Eile ?!! ”

The waitress is very young, about 20 years old, and he should be a work-study college student.

And from his legs are O-shaped legs, which is a phenomenon caused by amateur football enthusiasts kicking the ball under irregular movements, it is very common and common.

Seeing that someone recognized him, Yi Le could only nod his head and sign a group photo at the request of the other party, and then sent away the satisfied waiter.

Five minutes later, the coffee and milk for the two were served by the aggressive male waiter.

After closing the door of the private room to avoid being disturbed, Lippi said:

"You know we're playing in a World Cup qualifier in Russia, right?"

Yi Le nodded, he knew about these, and knew that China's qualifying situation was precarious at this time.

It's just that Lippi's answer is more straightforward: "It's impossible for us to qualify directly for the tiebreaker, we are in Group A, 10 points away from Iran, the first team in the group, and 6 points away from South Korea, the second place in the group, with two rounds left, it is difficult to catch up with these two national teams, almost impossible." ”

"What then?"

Yi Le was dumbfounded, called himself over, and then told him that there was no hope?

What kind of routine is this?

"Don't worry!" Lippi smiled and said: "Do you know the qualifiers in Asia? ”

"Hmm." Yi Le nodded; "Four places."

"No!" Lippi shook his head and said, "4.5 places to be exact." ”

4.5 places? How did that 0.5 come about?

But Lippi didn't have time to explain, he said directly; "So, our next goal is to get that 0.5 places and turn him into the last ticket to the World Cup!"

Yi Le's eyes lit up and said; "How?"

"First of all, we can't afford to lose, so from now on, we're going to keep winning all and win the next two rounds."

"In Group A, we are now in fifth place and we are aiming for third place, so we have to pull Uzbekistan down in fourth place and Syria in third place, but they are only one point away from us, and we can finish third on goal difference if we have scored two goals per game in two games."

Yi Le thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

He probably understood what Lippi meant.

"There's a play-off between Group A and Group B where we can get 0.5 places in Asia, and our opponent is Australia, so if we win this team, we can secure that 0.5 places."

Yi Le continued to ask, "And what about the remaining 0.5 places?" ”

"Then we have to compete with the winner of the Oceania zone, the fifth place in the South American zone, and the fourth place in the North and Central America and Caribbean regions for the last two tickets."

Only then did Yile understand that now China wants to guarantee the fifth place in Asia.

Then represent Asia against teams from Oceania, South America, North and Central America and the Caribbean for the last two places.
