Chapter 44: Doha Again
Coming to Doha again, a city that is drunk with money, the national team players led by Li Guo are not in the mood last time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The last time I came, I felt comfortable, but it was still cold in China, and I could already wear short sleeves in Qatar.
But the second time I came was in June, in this desert country, the temperature of the stadium in June, the maximum temperature can reach 40 degrees at around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, even at the time of the national football match, after 8:30 p.m. local time, the stadium temperature is more than 35 degrees.
It is very uncomfortable to hold a football match in such temperatures, especially for East Asian players who are not adapted to the desert climate, and it is no wonder that Japan and South Korea also have frequent upsets when they visit West Asia.
On the training ground, every 10 minutes, Li Guo made a pause, watching the players pour down a whole bottle of blue sports drink after a while, Li Guo was already thinking about whether to cancel the pre-game training, training in such a temperature, will there be any danger?
Fortunately, Li Guo has two professionals next to him - Heinrich and Marcus - so there is no need to worry too much about the health problems of the players for the time being.
Li Guo is most worried about the three veteran players in the team - Li Weifeng, Zheng Zhi, Sun Jihai, if nothing else, the three overage players in the Olympic Games are the three of them.
"Jihai, is it okay?"
"It's okay, head, it's not the first time this place has been here, it's all so hot."
Li Guo smiled in his heart, he knew that the future FIFA gang of killers actually held the World Cup in Qatar, to say an aside, Li Guo felt that FIFA was his own death, and the cause of his death was the 2022 World Cup, these guys have no humanity for money, if someone pays a higher price, it is estimated that Blatter will be willing to hold the World Cup in Antarctica.
Li Guo patted Sun Jihai on the shoulder, whether in his past life or in this life, Sun Jihai is the player Li Guo admires the most, and he is also the most professional and successful player among Chinese players.
"Jihai, you are the most important player in the national team, I want to take you to Beijing, to South Africa."
Sun Jihai was surprised by these words, he thought about going to Beijing, but he really didn't think about going to South Africa, it's a little far away, it's only the top 20 now, and there are strong opponents after entering the top 10, can the national football team grab the top two?
"Head, as long as I'm in good health, you're on call."
"Well, you and Datou (Li Weifeng), Zheng Zhi go to the gym to practice strength."
Li Guo gave an order, and the three veterans ended the training early, and the other teammates watched with their eyes, hoping that Li Guo could end the training early today.
But Li Guo shouted at Lei Dondo, "Continue to train, the intensity is the same as in China, and if you practice down, you will return to China in advance, and you won't have to play tomorrow night's game, and the Qataris will not relax the game because of the weather." ”
At the end of the training session, although no one left the field, even Mu Fei, who usually couldn't run, had cramps.
Li Guo looked at Heinrich and Marcus, "The recovery after training will be left to you." ”
*****
In the evening, in the hotel room, Li Guo was thinking about tomorrow's game, he has experienced four games since taking office, two games with the Philippines, then Iraq, Australia.
But Li Guo feels that tomorrow night's game is the real test, very simple, Doha is the sad place of the Chinese team, the Chinese media like to call the away game Qatar a card, but in fact, most of the Chinese team in Doha was brushed.
In his previous life, Li Guo sighed every time he saw the Chinese team being eliminated at the last moment of the 1989 World Cup qualifiers on TV, if there is really a fate in the football circle, then this time it must not happen again.
Walking to the window, pushing open the window, a burst of heat came to the face, there was an air conditioner in the room, Li Guo estimated that the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor was at least 10 degrees.
"It's going to be like that tomorrow because the Qatari players are used to the climate, so it's on the Qatari side."
Closing the window, Li Guoguang lay down on the bed, and suddenly a faint blue flashed in front of his eyes, "That's right, the coach assistance system." ”
Li Guo hasn't looked at this system for a long time, and all along, Li Guo has only used the simplest function of this system, looking at the player's ability value and potential value, and has not had time to take care of the more complex functions of the system.
"I just can't sleep, so it's better to study this system," Li Guo thought to himself.
With the sliding of Li Guo's fingers, the virtual interface in front of him was also moving, and Li Guo was surprised to find that after a few months, the system seemed to have some changes.
The biggest change is that Li Guo's avatar appears in the upper right corner of the screen, and there is a level 1 next to it, which is estimated to be Li Guo's coach level.
"Why is this happening?"
Fortunately, there is a text explanation on the side, which will only be displayed when the level reaches a certain level, in other words, the system now recognizes that Li Guo is a coach, and the previous Li Guo is just a fan with rich professional knowledge.
Moving further to the right, Li Guo saw the points column, and he had 12 points, and the note on the side explained: "Leading the team to win a game is worth 3 points, a draw is worth 1 point, and a losing game is not scored." ”
"That's the points you have to win four games,"
So are these points useful? Li Guo knew that the points of a certain treasure could be exchanged for things. Unfortunately, there is no explanation in the commentary.
At this time, Li Guo is getting more and more excited, it seems that this system has been expanding, which is very similar to the game, at first it was just a few simple functions, and after the upgrade, the content will become richer and richer, and the means of upgrading themselves should be to lead the team to win the game.
Continuing to slide, suddenly Li Guo was attracted by an icon, this icon is similar to the AppStore of the fruit IOS system, which is a place where you can buy all kinds of applications.
Li Guo clicked in to take a look, and suddenly felt a little like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, there were all kinds of things that could be purchased, Ferguson experience, Mourinho experience, Zagallo experience, Yakai experience......
Li Guo looks at the experience of some football coaches, and then looks at the price, Li Guo is staggering, such as Ferguson experience, the asking price is 300 points, which means that Li Guo has to lead the team to win 100 games.
This is more difficult than Li Guo in the previous life to buy a villa in Shanghai, Li Guo simply didn't look at it, slid and slipped, most of the things Li Guo couldn't afford, just as Li Guo was about to withdraw from the system, he suddenly saw the word "weather".
"Is it possible to buy even the weather?"
With the attitude of trying it out, Li Guo clicked on it and looked at the explanation.
