Chapter 60: Go to the Opening Ceremony
"China beat New Zealand by a big margin," the BBC and other international media reported the victory after the game. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The BBC was originally going to match a photo of Li Guo directing the game, but after selecting a few photos taken by photojournalists on the sidelines, he was not satisfied, Li Guo was very quiet, not like he had won, so in the end, the BBC could only be accompanied by a photo of Chen Green's passionate celebration.
"This kneeling may be as eternal as Henry," was the Times report on Chen Green's passionate kneeling.
I have to say that Chen Green and Henry's characteristics are really a bit similar, they are both players who are extremely fast and feel great in front of goal.
When the international media praised the Chinese team, the domestic media was very low-key, on the one hand, the character of the Chinese, on the other hand, New Zealand's competitiveness in this group is indeed too weak, the latter two opponents are the real rivals of the Chinese team, so it is better to keep a low profile, so as not to end up punching the face.
In an interview after the game, Li Guo praised the players and fans, "The fans are great, they are the heroes of today. ”
"Our next opponent is Belgium, are you ready?"
"Of course,"
"Can you tell us about the preparations?"
"Of course you can't, but what I can tell you is that whether it's Brazil, Belgium, or any other team, we're not afraid."
"In one sentence, imagine the journey of the Chinese team in this Olympic Games!" The journalist said.
Li Guo did not hesitate, "I think of a sentence from Mencius - although thousands of people have gone to me, I don't know the final result, but I can guarantee that we will do this." ”
*****
"Although tens of millions of people are gone!"
When the boss of the General Administration saw this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately called Cai Hua, "You contact Li Guo and ask him if he can lead the team to the opening ceremony tonight." ”
"What!"
Surprised, Cai Hua realized that he had lost his temper.
"Isn't it convenient?"
"No, I mean according to the rules, group projects are generally not attended by the opening ceremony,"
"There are exceptions to everything, this time the national football team did a good job, and it is the real head of the Chinese team."
Cai Hua thought to himself, too, the national football team was indeed the first to compete by the Chinese delegation, and the first Chinese delegation to participate in the past was the shooting team.
"Okay, I'll agree on behalf of Li Guo."
*****
"Leading a team to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games?"
When Cai Hua told Li Guo in person, Li Guo felt very excited, in his previous life in 2008, Li Guo had already applied for tickets for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, but in the end he didn't even have a hair.
"Can the whole team go?"
This is very important, football is a collective sport, either everyone goes or none goes, Li Guo doesn't want to treat any player differently.
Cai Hua was stunned for a moment, the Chinese delegation is the largest lineup of this Olympic Games, and it is estimated that there are more than 100 people on the scene, which will be a little bloated if more than 20 people are added.
"Boss, if you go, you can't miss anyone, or I won't go,"
"Okay, I promise you, who told the national football team to be so competitive this time."
Putting down the phone, Li Guo thought to himself: "Competitive sports are so realistic." ”
*****
At 8 p.m. on August 8, 2008, Beijing showed its most charming side.
With a series of virtual footprints, the Olympic Games went from distant to reality, from the past to the present, and finally when the fireworks were lifted off over the Bird's Nest, there was a burst of cheers, followed by a theatrical performance.
At this time, Li Guo and his disciples were waiting for the appearance in the background, and the host was the last to appear, and to be honest, being a member of the delegation for the opening ceremony was not an easy job.
But to everyone's surprise, the national football players stood upright, like soldiers, this scene stunned the Chinese delegation's flag bearer Da Yao, he moved over and said to Li Guo: "Coach, there are still more than two hours before we play, you ......"
"It's okay, my group of players just stand for 20 hours."
Da Yao sweated on his forehead and thought, "It's not a problem, it's okay, but it's necessary?" ”
Da Yao is a straightforward person, and whatever he thinks in his heart, he says it on his lips, "Coach Li Guo, is this necessary?" ”
"The football team is like the army, and the emphasis is on the four words of order and prohibition, so I think it is necessary."
Da Yao is speechless, there is nothing to say when he meets someone like Li Guo, fortunately, the coach of the Chinese men's basketball team is not Li Guo.
Those who have experienced that night should still remember that the representatives of the scene at that time had a fan in their hands, and it was actually quite hot in Beijing that night.
Soon the national football team was full of sweat, and athletes in other sports may have looked down on the national football team before they came, but now they are all convinced, and the changes that Li Guo has brought to the Chinese team are indeed too great.
So everyone handed water to the national football players, and the table tennis girl handed water to Mu Fei, Mu Fei smiled, "You drink it, I don't need it." ”
In this way, the Chinese men's football players stood upright for two hours, until the Chinese delegation entered, under the leadership of Da Yao, the Chinese delegation slowly walked into the Bird's Nest, and the scene gave the warmest cheers, almost everyone stood up, excited, proud, excited, all kinds of feelings surged into their hearts.
The national football players walked quietly in the middle of the delegation, not conspicuous in the huge delegation, but the players were very proud in their hearts, Chen Green whispered behind Li Guo: "Head, thank you for bringing me back." ”
This short road is soon over, and it may not be enough for the national football players, but Li Guo's purpose has been achieved, that is, to make everyone feel proud, what to do, self-identity is the most important, in the previous life, the national football team is a lack of self-identity, and now Li Guo wants to change all this.
After the opening ceremony, the Chinese team took the bus back to the base, and Mu Fei received a call from his father, "Son, Dad saw you on TV." ”
"Well, your son is handsome, isn't he?"
"Of course, as handsome as I am."
One after another, the mobile phones of other players also rang, all from family and friends, "Geng Chong, I saw you on TV, you are the pride of our class." ”
There were many greetings like this, and at this time, Chen An said in Li Guo's ear: "Everyone calls their families, do you also call Li Zibing." ”
"Let's look for a pump," Li Guo made a gesture to smoke Chen An after speaking, and as soon as his hand was suspended in mid-air, Li Guo's mobile phone rang.
"Haha, say Xi Shi, Xi Shi will arrive," Chen An teased.
Without picking up the phone and looking at the caller ID, Li Guo knew that it must have been Li Zibing calling, and he had this feeling, "I'll clean you up when I go back to the base." ”
Chen An stuck out his tongue and grimaced at Li Guo.
