Chapter 20: Robin picks up
In my memory, the beginning of 2008 was particularly cold, and there was a large-scale snow disaster in the south, and the training base of the national team was first moved from Xianghe to Kunming Haigeng, but it was still cold and unbearable, and finally moved to Haikou.

The main people who come to report are young people from various clubs, as long as they can play the main players in the club, Li Guo will not be recruited.
Many national teams have made such low-level mistakes, South Korea, Russia, and of course China, often let the club make way for the national team, and in the end both sides were delayed, in fact, just think about it, it is clear that the world's strongest team, which one of them makes the league give way to the national team?
Therefore, after Li Guo took office, he first put forward a shocking point of view - the interests of the club are higher than the national team.
The league is fundamental, there is no fundamental, and everything else is not to be discussed, this is the most basic truth that Li Guo learned in Germany.
This is especially evident in Germany, when Bayern is strong, the German team is also strong, and when Bayern is not good in Europe, the German team cannot raise its head in Europe.

After the training, in Li Guo's dormitory, Robin Dutt arrived first, then Chen An, and Li Guo was the last to return.
Li Guo rubbed his hands, and he asked Robin Dutt and Chen An to discuss the upcoming top 20 matches.
The Chinese team is in a group with Australia, Iraq, and Qatar in the round of 20, and this group can be said to be difficult to play.
Australia's style of play is more akin to that of European teams, with a traditional English style of play that favors the style of Scottish football.
Such a style is not a big advantage in the World Cup, but in Asian football, where the overall style of play is soft, the Australians still have a big advantage with their excellent physical fitness.
Since joining the AFC in 2006, Australia has been the strongest opponent of any Asian team, so in this group, Li Guo also sees Australia as the number one opponent.
The other two teams, Qatar is Jinyuan Football, which has attracted a large number of immigrant players with money and helped Qatari football improve rapidly.
As for Iraqi football, Li Guo's evaluation of this team is good technology and tenacious fighting spirit, they are the champions of the 2007 Asian Cup, and the Iraqi Olympic team finished fourth in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.
Therefore, the outside media generally commented that in the top 20 matches, the Chinese team was divided into the most difficult group.
The Top 20 will start on February 6 and end on September 14 this year, with the top two teams in the group advancing to the final round of 10.
February 6, 2008 has a special meaning for the Chinese, as it is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Chinese team will play the Iraqi team for the first time on this day.
For the first game, Robin Dutt has made tactical arrangements, the first game, or away, the Chinese team is mainly stable, the formation is 4231, and the strategy is to defend and counterattack.
After Robin Dutt finished speaking, Chen An had no opinion, the atmosphere in the room seemed a little depressing, and both of them were waiting for Li Guo to speak.
"You can't fight like that," Mr. Li said.
Robin Dutt became angry when he heard it, since he was drunk that day, Li Guo seems to have changed as a person, the tactics he formulated, Li Guo will completely overthrow, as a professional, Robin Dutt endures once, twice can, but this time he can't help it.
Robin Dutt threw the tactical board on the table, and then said to Chen An: "Congratulations, you will be the first assistant coach in the future." ”
After speaking, Robin Dutt stood up and was about to leave the room, when Li Guo blocked the door, "Robin, can you listen to my explanation?" ”
Robin Dutt suppressed the anger in his heart and squeezed out a smile, "Okay." ”
After Robin Dutt sat down, Li Guo said: "If this game had been held at any time in 2008, then Robin's tactics would have been 100% correct, but not on February 6th. ”
"Why?" Robin Dutt asked, puzzled.
"Because it's China's Chinese New Year's Eve,"
As an Indian, Robin Dutt had a hard time understanding the meaning of Chinese New Year's Eve to the Chinese, so after Li Guo explained, Robin Dutt still didn't understand.
Just as Robin Dutt was about to speak, Chen An pressed his hand on his shoulder, "Robin, it's hard for you to understand this time, but please believe me, Li Guo is right." ”
Li Guo's idea is very simple, Chinese football owes Chinese fans too much, so this game, the strategic aspect is secondary, the important thing is to make Chinese fans happy, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, we must not let the people of the whole country add to the blockage.
"Robin, leave this game to Chen An," after speaking, Li Guo turned to Chen An, "There is only one guiding ideology for this game, attack, not only to win, but also to be beautiful in the process, recall all the players who play overseas, if the club does not release people, then you will come hard." ”
"Okay,"
*****
The office of the chairman of the Football Association, Director Feng shook the ash on the ashtray, "Lao Cai, the game on February 6, the people of the whole country are watching." ”
"No, everyone watched the Spring Festival Gala that day," Cai Hua said with a smile.
Director Feng didn't smile, he calculated in his heart that if Li Guo led the team to lose the game away on Chinese New Year's Eve night, then it would be equivalent to the public enemy of the people of the whole country, and then he could justifiably put forward ******.
Li Guo, this guy, since he took office, has not said a word that makes Director Feng feel comfortable, and even shouted that the interests of the club are higher than the national team, isn't this a big disapproval of the world, will you still shout tomorrow that the head coach of the national team is bigger than the chairman of the Football Association and bigger than the General Administration?
"We Chinese pay attention to the opening of the door, Lao Cai, this game is different, Chinese New Year's Eve, if you lose, you say that the people of the whole country are really cool and cool in their hearts."
Cai Hua sneered in his heart, "It's really condescending for you not to act in sketches,"
"I'm still the same sentence, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and what hasn't happened yet, no one knows the result,"
The cigarette had burned to the end, and Director Feng twisted the cigarette butt in the ashtray, "Okay, then I'll say it directly, the General Administration is very dissatisfied with Li Guo, the 2008 Olympics is all in the spotlight, Lao Cai, it's still too late to replace people." ”
Speaking of this, Cai Hua also pulled his face down, "Old Feng, you have been embarrassed for Li five times, isn't it because people have shown you your face, let's not affect the overall situation for personal grievances." ”
Cai Hua said directly, Director Feng's face was red and white, "Okay, I'm kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs, okay, let's see." ”
In the sports industry, in the final analysis, it is still based on the results, the Chinese team's results in West Asia have not been good, so Director Feng is ruthless in his heart, he hopes that the Chinese team will lose this game, and it is best to lose ugly, so that even if he doesn't want Li Guo to roll, I am afraid that Li Guo will be on pins and needles in the position of the head coach of the national team.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Director Feng's mouth again.
