It is a place where the top meteorologists from the Arab world, if not the world, gather, are stumped by an anomaly that has just occurred.

"McGee", a meteorologist from London, stared at the monitor screen and repeated to his assistant what he had said countless times in the past hour - "Are you sure that the rain only happened within two kilometers of the Khalifa Stadium?" ”

The assistant is a Qatari, "yes, that's right, not only what is shown on the device, but also sent someone to see it on the spot." ”

Dr. McGee thought to himself, "Is this a new unsolved mystery in meteorology unless it is artificial rainfall?" ”

"Doctor, you'll have to come up with a plausible explanation, because ......",

"Because of what?"

"Because we have to hold a press conference to explain this anomaly."

"Why?"

The doctor thought to himself, "Although this situation is very unusual in Qatar, is it too much of a fuss to hold a press conference for this purpose?" ”

The assistant said: "Because of this damned, inexplicable heavy rain that caused the national team to lose, and now everyone blames our meteorological center for being incompetent and not predicting this rain in advance." ”

"Damn, the local tyrant nation is still unreasonable? Lose the blame weather! ”

But McGee didn't say it, he knew that rich people were generally unreasonable, and the immediate priority was to come up with a reasonable explanation.

"Local rainfall anomalies caused by the urban heat island effect," is a term McGee has coined.

But it seems very lofty, and with a lot of meteorology professional data, it is enough to confuse the ignorant public.

In the face of a group of confused reporters, McGee sweated in his heart, don't let them know that I'm playing with them.

"Doctor, does this have anything to do with global warming?" A reporter asked.

McGee nodded, "Of course, if global warming causes an anomaly in the Arctic climate, countries in the northern hemisphere will be affected. ”

The reporters at the scene seemed to be a little frightened, because Doha is close to the sea and is a famous port in the Persian Gulf, will Doha eventually be flooded if it goes on like this?

"Could it be that the scene from the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" will really appear?"

Dr. McGee probably had read Stanislavsky's work on acting, and his face immediately changed to a heavy expression.

"We all know that we only have one Earth, and the Earth is our common home," McGee said.

The atmosphere at the press conference was suddenly a little sad, and a female reporter asked emotionally: "Doctor, can mankind survive the 21st century?" ”

"Of course, you don't need to be too pessimistic, as long as we work together, I believe we can protect our planet."

Later, because of this incident, Qatar vigorously promoted the "Doha World Climate Conference" in 2012, but that is a story for another time.

*****

Li Guo didn't know all this, because at this time, Li Guo had already stepped on the return plane with the national team.

Li Weifeng, Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi 3 old boys sang "True Heroes" together in the back row.

"In my heart, there was a dream that I wanted to use my singing voice to make you forget all the pain," the three sang more and more excited, all three of them were old internationals who joined the national team very early, but they have never been as cool as in the past year.

"Head, you can sing a few words too."

"I don't sing, I haven't heard this song, I always listen to Jay Chou, Lin Junjie or something."

"Damn, head, it's too outrageous for you to pretend to be a post-90s generation."

Everyone laughed loudly, in fact, this song was from Zhou Huajian's era, and most of the players on the plane were really unfamiliar.

"I think the three of you can make a group and release an album later," Mr. Li said.

"Good idea, head, what do you think of the name of our group?"

"How about just calling it an old boy?"

Zheng Zhi objected first, "No, how can I say that I am also a post-80s generation,"

"Haha, you still hate the two of us, we're just about the same, you're just stuck in 1980," Li Weifeng, the big head, said.

"It doesn't matter, I'm a post-80s generation anyway,"

The game was won, and everyone was in a good mood, but after the trouble, they were also tired, and gradually, the cabin became quiet.

Zheng Zhimo opened his eyes in a blur and found that someone was covering him with a quilt, "head".

"Shhhhh

"You're not sleeping yet?"

Li Guo sat next to Zheng Zhi, "Well, would you like to have a drink with me at the bar?" ”

"Of course."

Li Guo mixed Zheng Zhi with a "screwdriver", which is a cocktail of vodka with lemon or orange juice.

Zheng Zhi was also stunned for drinking such a strong wine at night, but he didn't refuse, because the taste was really good.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Guo said, "Zheng Zhi, do you like Charlton?" ”

"Head, why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

"Nothing, just wanted to ask,"

"Usual,"

Li Guo knew that Charlton's situation was getting worse and worse, so he said: "If possible, let's leave Charlton." ”

"Where are you going?" Zheng Zhi said this half-jokingly, but Li Guo said with a serious expression: "Go to Scotland and join Celtic." ”

Li Guo knew that Zheng Zhi later joined the Celtics in 2009, and he just wanted to make everything earlier.

Zheng Zhi was a little confused, "Head, why is it Celtic, because of Fang Suo?" ”

"No, because I think the Celts are a good fit for you."

Zheng Zhi thought to himself: "Where is the Celtic suitable for me, why can't I see it?" ”

"The Premier League, the Championship is too stressful, football is too utilitarian, it's hard for you to get a chance there, I'll give you an example, if Drogba doesn't prove himself in Ligue 1 and goes straight to the Premier League, I think it's hard for him to get out of the way."

These words are rough and reasonable, although it sounds difficult to accept at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, Zheng Zhi also understands.

"But, head, the Celtics are also considered to be a strong team in the Soviet Super League, can I go if I want to?"

"Of course,"

Li Guo's answer is very domineering, this is the domineering of the traverser, because he knows that Celtic needs Zheng Zhi, and football players eat youth, so why waste a year?

"Okay, I'll think about it," Zheng Zhi took another sip of the screwdriver. He is 28 years old, not too young for a football player, Zheng Zhi originally planned to return to China to pan for gold after ending his stay abroad, but Li Guo's words rekindled his desire for football.

"Su Chao, Celtic," Zheng Zhi didn't fall asleep that night, and kept thinking about what Li Guo said to him, about his dreams.
