Chapter 343: Warm-up Match Opponent
Valker joked, "Hurry up and pick one, you're going to have to choose one anyway." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Hearst was also happy, "Okay. ā
Hearst drew one, and there are three strong teams left in the remaining European teams, France, England and Portugal.
This time, Hearst was very simple, took out the note, turned it around, and said, "I really didn't mean to." ā
In this way, as in the previous life, England entered the group of death.
After the results, Valker continued to joke, "I hope no one will question the fairness of the FIFA draw from now on, because it was done by the English themselves." ā
There was a round of applause at the scene, and the hostess Lima patted Hearst as a comforter that England had escaped the fate of being X, but had not escaped the death group in the end.
After the draw ceremony, the delegations left Brazil quickly, and Li Guo did the same, and the rest of the work was not easy.
*****
Spain, Chile, China, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
After the draw ceremony ended, there was an extra table on the wall of Li Guo's office, on which was the situation of the match.
The Chinese team played Chile in the first game, Spain in the second, and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the third.
Li Guo's goal is to qualify from the group, which means squeezing out two opponents, Li Guo did not hesitate to draw a red circle on the word Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the remaining two teams made Li Guo fall into thought.
"Spell one," Li Guo knew very well.
In addition to Li Guo, there were also Chen An and Robin Dutt in the office, Li Guo stood up and paced, "Do you have anything to say?" ā
"Not yet."
"It's good, but I have, have you ever heard a story that in the 2006 World Cup, Germany and Ecuador were in a group, and the Germans sent a team to visit Ecuador a few months ago, and they didn't even let go of the customs."
Du Ting nodded, "I've heard of it." ā
"You're ready to study too?" Chen An said.
"Of course, this matter is left to you, form three teams, go to the three countries separately, and bring back all the valuable content."
Chen An nodded, compared with some of Li Guo's previous strange requests, this was a more reasonable time.
Dutt said, "What about me? I don't think you're going to leave me idle. ā
Li Guo smiled slightly, "Robin, you know me very well, of course I have a job for you, your task is to arrange the warm-up match opponents, I need three opponents, and simulate the opponents of the three group stages respectively." ā
Dutt held his chin in his hand, "It's not easy, I have to think about it." ā
If it's theoretical, it's easy, for example, if you want to simulate Spain, you can find Portugal, but the question is will the other party bird you?
"Okay, give you 24 hours, I want results."
In the next 24 hours, Chen An began to form a team, Dutt began to think about the warm-up opponent, and Li Guo fought the landlord in the office.
When they met again, Chen An's side was very smooth, after all, it was a matter of money, as long as the money was enough, it was not a problem, but Dutt's side was a little troublesome, and the first expected opponent, Portugal, was definitely impossible, he contacted it, and the other party refused in one breath, and was not interested in warming up with the Chinese team.
As for the other opponent, Chile, Dute came up with Paraguay, but he couldn't be contacted for the time being, and the team that simulated Bosnia and Herzegovina, which Dute came up with was Serbia, was also uncontactable.
"That is, in 24 hours, you can't be sure of a warm-up opponent?"
Du Ting nodded, "I did my best." Li Guo pressed his hand on Dutt's shoulder, "Then go and rest." ā
It seems that in the World Cup year, it is difficult to find a team in the top 32 to warm up, so Li Guo aims at those teams that have not entered the World Cup, but the problem is that the level of these teams is generally lower.
First of all, Spain's simulated opponent, Li Guo thought that he was also a representative of the Latin faction in Europe, the former Yugoslavia, but Yugoslavia has disintegrated, but the Montenegro team has always inherited this style of play, and Li Guo set Montenegro as his goal.
Chile, Li Guo thought of Bolivia, Bolivian football used to be good, Li Guo also wanted to experience Bolivia's highland home.
The third opponent, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, should be easy for this team to warm up.
When Li Guo told Dutt his idea, Dutt immediately tried to contact him, and all three teams were finalized, so it is no wonder that Li Guo lowered the bar to a very low level for the sake of the success rate.
The last thing that needs to be determined is the training base for next year, it must not be in China, because of the relationship between time difference and climate, the training effect in China is equal to zero, it must be in South America, but the security in South America is not good, which makes Li Guo have a headache.
In the end, Li Guo thought of Chile where Zhou Dun stayed when he was a child, and went to the club where Zhou Dun debuted, the small city where the San Diego Rangers were located - Valparaiso.
This aspect will be handed over to Zhou Dun's father. Hotels, training pitches and so on need to be booked in advance. If it doesn't work, you have to bring it yourself, such as the lawn, it is estimated that the domestic team will have to lay it over, and the security will also have to bring the Chinese over, so that Li Guo can trust.
These must be prepared as soon as possible, I don't know how many teams will gather to train on the South American continent next year, this Li Guo heard about it in his previous life.
When these are almost ready, the end of 2013 has arrived, the European clubs have begun to have a holiday, the Chinese Super League is over, the Christmas discount season is in full swing, Li Guo and the national team members have been busy for a year, so Li Guo proposed to take everyone on a trip.
The location was chosen in Finland, Santa's hometown.
At this time, Chen An asked Li Guo, who do you want to bring? Li Guo's answer was very simple, "Of course, it's the 23 people in the Confederation Cup." ā
"The 23 at next year's World Cup will definitely be different from the 23 in the Confederations Cup, and will you do that to cause the media to be cranky?"
This reminds Li Guo that Li Guo is the head coach who cares most about the unity of the team, and he doesn't want to make this trip the last supper for some players.
"The announcements, everyone went their separate ways, they are professional players, they always have the ability to avoid reporters, let them meet when they get to Helsinki, Finland."
Chen An smiled, I have to say that Li Guo is really a person with a big brain, so Chen An can only inform the players one by one, and the players also cherish it, after all, they have been busy for a year. (To be continued.) )
