Chapter 36: Infiltrating the LA Galaxy
"Documents? What documents? Li Guogang wanted to say this, but fortunately he reacted quickly, "I'm a reporter, and I want to interview Chen." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Journalists? Please show your international press card. ”
"I came in a hurry, I forgot it in the hotel, I didn't bring it,"
The staff looked at Li Guo suspiciously, "I'm sorry sir, I can't let you in." ”
Li Guo had already read his suspicions from the facial expressions of the staff, and if he continued to entangle, Li Guo was afraid that he would spend time in prison tonight.
Leaving the stadium in a daze, Li suddenly remembered that in his previous life as a fan, he had seen a story that happened to Duan Xuan in an issue of "Football Night".
Once Duan Xuan encountered an opportunity to interview Maradona in Argentina, of course, he was ruthlessly rejected at first, but when Duan Xuan showed his international press card, Maradona's agent finally let him go.
"It seems that the press card is very useful," Li Guo thought to himself.
But in Los Angeles, where I am not familiar with my life, where can I get a press card, the "visa" service here is not as convenient as in China, and it is estimated that it will not be so pleasant to use a fake certificate here.
"Journalists?"
Thinking of these two words, a person suddenly jumped into Li Guo's mind, "Li Zibing!" ”
There is a 15-hour time difference between Los Angeles and Beijing, so when Li Guo called Li Zibing, it was the early hours of the morning.
After a hurried phone ringing, Li Zibing even had the heart to kill, "Li Guo, you'd better have a reason to satisfy me, otherwise call this girl early in the morning, you ...... It must be looking for death. ”
Li Guo on the other end of the phone did not apologize at all, and said bluntly: "Do you have an international press card?" ”
"Yes! What's wrong. ”
"Then you're coming to Los Angeles right away,"
"Damn, Li Guo!"
Before Li Zibing could get mad, Li Guo preemptively said, "I'll beg you this time, you can come over as quickly as possible." ”
"Please?" Li Zibing knew that it was not easy for these two words to come out of Li Guo's mouth.
"What's wrong with you? Caught playing hooligan in the United States? ”
"Please, do you think I still need to be a hooligan with my appearance? I was all played by beautiful women, do you know? ”
"Shameless," Li Zibing scolded in a low voice.
"No kidding, I really need your help," Li Guo said seriously.
Listening to what Li Guo said sincerely, Li Zibing stopped joking, "Okay, I'll go over as soon as possible, but the air ticket, accommodation and so on......"
"I'll reimburse you,"
Li Zibing chuckled, "OK." ”
*****
Los Angeles International Airport, far away, Li Zibing saw Li Guo, not to mention, in the crowd, Li Guo's recognition is quite high, not the kind of person who is easy to bury.
The two got into a taxi, and Li Zibing asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Li Guo simply explained the ins and outs of the matter, Li Zibing was very smart and probably understood, "You want me to help you infiltrate the training base of the Los Angeles Galaxy?" ”
"Yes!"
"How do I sound like you're taking advantage of me,"
"The truth is similar, but it's not utilization, it's mutual benefit."
"Poof, reciprocal, then what can you do for me?"
Li Guo spread his hands, "You can make a price as you like, as long as I can do it." ”
Li Zibing smiled slightly, "Let's owe it first, by the way, you can go to the Football Association and the consulate for this matter." ”
Li Guo shook his head, "No, Chen Green is different from others, he can choose to play for the Chinese team, or for the United States team, his situation is similar to Hua Tian of the Chinese equestrian team, for such people, we can only fight, not recruit." ”
Li Zibing nodded, "Are you afraid of making a disturbance, and the U.S. national team will grab people in advance?" ”
Li Guo touched Li Zibing's head, "It turns out that you are quite smart." ”
"Don't touch my head, my head can be broken, and my hairstyle can't be messed up."
"Hehe," Li Guo said three lines on his forehead.
Since this is the case, then a new question cannot be bypassed, that is, even if you get in and meet Chen Green, can people listen to you?
Li Zibing said his question, and Li Guo replied: "Of course, it can't be 100% sure, but I'm willing to try." ”
Now that it has been decided, Li Zibing has applied to the Los Angeles Galaxy to visit, Li Zibing has an international press card, and the club has agreed to Li Zibing's request to visit after doing a background check on Li Zibing.
"I finally came in, I went to the Kremlin when I was younger, and it wasn't that hard," Mr. Li said.
Although they went in, Li Zibing and Li Guo could only visit and shoot at the designated location. A few minutes later, Li Guo finally saw Chen Green on the side of the training ground.
Although he is a mixed-race child, except for a higher nose, Chen Green is similar to the Chinese in other aspects.
"So handsome," Li Zibing said.
"Nymphomaniac?"
"you."
"You let go of the wind, I'll go over for a moment,"
"Don't ...... Other...... Don't," but Li Guo had already stepped over the low baffle and reached the edge of the training ground.
"Do you know Chinese?" Li asked, an unfamiliar voice, a strange person, which surprised Chen Green.
"Who are you?"
"I used to know Chinese," Li Guo thought to himself, "I am the head coach of the Chinese national team." ”
Chen Green was skeptical, "What are you looking for me?" ”
"Talking about business,"
"I'm sorry sir, I don't know what your purpose is, but I can tell you that I want you to leave, I don't need your product."
Chen Green regarded Li Guo as a salesman, Li Guo smiled, "Why don't you listen to me and tell me what I can give you, I think you will definitely not refuse after listening to it." ”
"No, I really don't need anything."
"Really? What if I could give you an Olympic medal? ”
These words were so strange that Chen Green wanted to refuse, but he was curious about what the stranger in front of him meant.
Li continued: "I know that the U.S. men's soccer team did not qualify for this year's Olympic Games in Beijing, so I would like to invite you to join the Chinese national team and represent China at the Olympics. ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Green was completely stunned, yes, as a football player, he has had two dreams since he was a child, to participate in the Olympics and the World Cup.
Li Guo knows the art of negotiation very well, and he knows that the first condition he offered, although tempting, was not yet conclusive, so he immediately said: "Maybe you want to represent the U.S. team, but as far as I know, no Asian country has participated in the World Series in the history of the U.S. men's soccer team, do you think you can be an exception?" ”
