On June 11, 2013, the Chinese team defeated Jordan 1-0 in the 7th round of the top 10 and won the right to qualify for the World Cup one round ahead of schedule. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is worth mentioning that the Chinese team is also the first team in the world to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil, after qualifying, the Chinese team has no time to celebrate, and they are rushing to catch the plane, because the Chinese team is the champion of the Asian Cup, so it will participate in the upcoming Confederations Cup in Brazil.

The Confederations Cup, formerly known as the Intercontinental Cup, was initiated in 1991 by the Asian, African, South American and North American Caribbean Football Confederations, hosted by FIFA, and changed to be held every four years in 2005, known as the mini-World Cup.

The Confederations Cup will be held from June 15 to 30 and will feature eight teams, starting with the host country, Brazil.

Then there is Spain, the winner of the last World Cup.

Asian Cup champion China.

Oceania Champion Tahiti.

CONCACAF Gold Cup champion Mexico.

Copa America champion Uruguay.

Africa Cup of Nations champions Nigeria.

The other is Italy, which originally belonged to the European Cup champion, but Spain has already qualified, so the European quota was given to Italy, the runner-up of last year's European Championship.

The Chinese team was placed in Group A, the same group as Brazil, Italy, and Tahiti. It is also worth mentioning that the team with the best result in the history of the Confederations Cup is the host country of this tournament, Brazil, who have won the championship three times.

Some people may think that the Confederations Cup is chicken ribs and has no meaning, but this is not the case now, the Confederations Cup is a good opportunity to adapt to the stadium, and next year's World Cup will also be held in Brazil, not everyone can adapt to the stadium in advance, and the Chinese team is qualified to participate in the competition as the champion of the Asian Cup.

Because the time is very tight, the Confederations Cup and the top 10 overlap, so before the match against Jordan, Li Guo announced that the 23 people in that game are the 23 people who will be brought to Brazil.

The 23-man squad has undergone some changes from the Asian Cup two years ago.

Goalkeepers - Wang Dalei, Yang Zhi, Zeng Cheng

Back line - Mu Fei, Zhou Dun, Yin Di, Geng Chong, Feng Xiaoting, Ji Xiang, Zhang Linpeng

Midfielders - Fang Suo, Shen Rui, Zheng Zhi, Chen Deng, Hao Junmin, Qu Bo, Lin Zhijian, Li Weifeng, Liao Lisheng

Forward line - Pu Shuang, Ji Ke, Gao Lin, Chen Green

On the back line, Ji Xiang replaced Sun Xiang, the midfielder was the National Olympic teenager Liao Lisheng replaced Shao Jiayi's position, and on the forward line, Chen Green replaced Yu Dabao, and the people in other positions were the same.

China's first leg is Brasilia, where they will face their first opponents in the Confederations Cup, hosts Brazil.

*****

Coming to Brasilia, the players of the Chinese team generally feel very tired, the time difference between here and China is about 12 hours, it happens to be day and night reversed, coupled with the climate is not adaptable, the players' bodies have some minor problems.

Li Guo remembered that in his previous life, Asian teams were wiped out in the World Cup in Brazil, which may also be an important reason.

On the first night after checking in at the hotel, only 8 players came down to eat in the restaurant, Li Guojun was strict in discipline, and it stands to reason that everyone should eat together, but today is very special, because many players are not feeling well, Li Guo allowed them to rest in the room.

Of course, the best adaptation is Zhou Dun, he grew up in Chile when he was a child, Li Guo looked at Zhou Dun, "The difference between South America and China is indeed very big. ”

Zhou Dun nodded, "Head, I suggest that we come a little earlier next year, and under normal circumstances, it will take half a month to fully adapt to the climate here." ”

"Well, I'm glad I'm here to play in the Confederations Cup, otherwise I wouldn't have known."

Football is a sport that is played outdoors and it is really important to adapt to the climate, basketball games can be air-conditioned, but football games are not possible.

As he spoke, Chen An came over, and Li Guo asked, "How is everyone's situation?" ”

"Nothing, mild altitude sickness plus fatigue."

Li Guo was also relieved after hearing this, but it was less than 48 hours before the first match against Brazil, and the important thing was how the players' physical condition was during the game.

"Let the Doctor take good care of it!" Li Guo said.

*****

After eating a dull dinner, Li Guo returned to the room, at this time Li Guo received a phone call, and when he looked at the phone number, Li Guo was happy.

"Attani, how do you think of me."

"Li Guo, you're in Brasilia, I'm in Rio de Janeiro."

"Oh,"

"Oh? What's wrong, upset? ”

Li Guo talked about the player's poor physical condition, and Attani said: "Rio de Janeiro is better here, Brasilia is a plateau, and it may be uncomfortable." ”

This reminded Li Guo that the location of the Chinese team next year must also be well chosen, the most important thing is the city, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo is a good choice, when Asians came to Brazil to pan for gold, the biggest gathering place is Sao Paulo or Rio.

"Li Guo, I'm excited, I'm finally going to play against your Chinese team this time."

Li Guo smiled, "Be careful that I hit the score to double digits." ”

"It doesn't matter, I know the gap with the Chinese team, but I think that without your help back then, we in Tahiti would never have been able to stand on the international stage."

Thinking of the events of that year, Li Guo was also very moved, "How is Selene now, do you have a boyfriend?" ”

"Not yet."

"Hmm."

"But she came with her this time, because our players can bring a family member, and I brought her."

Li Guo smiled, this little girl still has this temper.

"Okay, then you can concentrate on the game, I hope you lose less against Italy."

"Try to lose less than five," Attani chuckled.

Hanging up the phone, Li Guo remembered his previous life, although Tahiti was abused in the Brazilian Confederations Cup, everyone respected them, because only they really came to enjoy the joy of football, such as Attani, who could face the loss with a smile.

"That match between China and Tahiti is going to be interesting," Li Guo thought.

Li Guo walked to the window, and the window in front of him seemed to have become a mobile phone screen, with women's faces swiped on it.

Catherine, Bundchen, Li Zibing, Selene.

Thinking of them, Li Guo suddenly felt a little lonely, although he had a few girlfriends, he was still alone, and sometimes he was a little sentimental when he thought about it.

Thinking about it, Li Guo laughed, how did he play the Qiong Yao drama, it is estimated that it is still jet lag, Li Guo lay back on the bed and tried to sleep for a while, but he couldn't sleep, and finally simply got up and walked to the atrium of the hotel to take a walk.

Right there, Li Guo seemed to see a person, a person he used to be very familiar with, and the other party was walking towards him. (To be continued.) )
