CCTV Studio 1, the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala was going on intensely, and suddenly, the director received a notice from his superiors that because of the particularity of 2008, he hoped to add some sports elements to the Spring Festival Gala.

Elements of sports?
The director had a big head when he heard it, he still has some friends in the entertainment industry, but he really doesn't know a few people in the sports circle, what should I do?
"Call and play one by one, starting with the table tennis team," the director said to his assistant.
But a few hours later, the assistant replied: "Don't say that you are here to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, because of the preparation for the Olympics, even the Spring Festival is spent at the base, and even family members are not allowed to meet." ā
"Have you beaten them all? The diving team, the badminton team, if it really doesn't work, the track and field team can do it too," the director said.
"I've beaten it all, people have said it, I'm really not available,"
The director is in a hurry, so what should I do? This is a task assigned by the superiors, and if it is not completed well, it will affect the future.
At this moment, the director saw that the assistant wanted to speak and stopped, "If you have anything to say, it's time to burn your eyebrows." ā
The assistant said timidly: "Li Guo, the head coach of the Chinese men's football team, said that he is free and can accept video connection. ā
"Football? Or is it the men's soccer team? ā
The director just wanted to say, "Isn't that a blockage for the people of the whole country?" But when the words came to his lips, the director thought, "Let's count the backup plan, if it really doesn't work, Chinese football will have to be on it." ā
"Okay, you reply to them, arrange a time, connect, just say a few words of blessing,"
At this time, the assistant began to vomit again, "What else is going on?" The director asked.
"Director, the national team has a competition on Chinese New Year's Eve, the top 20 match, you say, what if you lose, or should the online program be arranged before the game, so as not to block the people of the whole country?"
The assistant's surname is Lu, so the director said: "Xiao Lu, what you said is very right, so let's do it, the connection of the national team will be arranged at the end, and before Li Guyi's unforgettable sound tonight, it's OK to deal with it." ā
*****
When Xiao Lu relayed these words to Li Guo, Li Guo became angry, I accepted your invitation is already full of face, and even arranged me at the end, before I will remember tonight.
"Xiao Lu, let me tell you, unless you arrange me in prime time, either before Uncle Benshan or after Uncle Benshan, don't even think about it,"
Now Xiao Lu is embarrassed, what can I do?
"Coach Li, if you don't think about it, even if you give me face,"
"Damn, has the status of Chinese football in China been so low? I'm the head coach of the national team, give you face? Li Guo thought to himself.
"Okay, then there's no need to continue, but don't come to me when the time comes, from now on, I will ban the Spring Festival Gala,"
After speaking, Li Guo hung up the phone.
"What, he refuses?" The director wondered.
Xiao Lu told the director the original story, and the director snorted, "He thinks he is a table tennis team, or the Chinese women's volleyball team, okay, he doesn't want to pour it, so as not to block the show when the time comes, you go and tell him that from now on, I will ban Chinese football." ā
Both sides are very tough, Xiao Lu who is sandwiched in the middle is not a person inside and out, and in the end he did not call Li Guo again, but contacted the coach of the hockey team, and the other party promised to connect by video, so that the problem was solved.
*****
For the first battle of the top 20 competition, Li Guo can be said to have everything, the older generation of Li Weifeng, Sun Jihai, and Zheng Zhi are all called into the national team, and the new generation of Zhou Dun, Mu Fei, Geng Chong, and Yin Di are not left behind.
Cai Hua was originally going to hold a mobilization meeting, but was rejected by Li Guo, who led the team to Doha, the capital of Qatar, a week before the game.
Because of domestic problems, Iraq's home stadium was arranged in a third party, so the national football team's away game this time was actually in Doha.
When I first arrived in Doha, the first feeling was that it was hot, and now it is freezing in China, but in Doha, I sweat all over my body after a little run.
The national football team's performance in West Asia has been average, and the important reason is that it does not adapt to the climate.
"Who are you soft TM for," Li Guo yelled at a few slower runners.
"Head, it's too hot,"
"Oh, is it? Afraid of heat? So what kind of football did you play, you can play table tennis, there is air conditioning in the room,"
Chen Annu on the side mouthed and signaled the players to say less, in Li Guo's team, Chen An has always been singing white-faced.
"Li Guo, I said are you too anxious, it takes a certain amount of time for players to adapt to the climate of West Asia, and it is inevitable that they will be a little tired in the first training session."
Li Guo snorted, "Iraq's characteristic is that it can fight, it can't run to death, we only have a week, although our technology is better than others, but if it is run down in the second half, it will still be used for birds." ā
Chen An also understood the reason, he patted Li Guo lightly, signaling him to be calm and not to be impatient.
"By the way, Redondo,"
After a while, Redondo ran over, "Head," Li Guo didn't have any politeness, and said directly: "Speed up the midfielder pass during training, whoever sticks to the ball will be punished,"
Li Guo knew that Iraq's midfield was very fierce, and if the Chinese team stuck the ball a little in the midfield, it would definitely be kicked.
"Got it, head,"
"Also, let them run as much as possible, if you are gentle with them now, the opponents on the court will not be gentle with them,"
Redondo nodded, showing a handsome smile, "I will train them to scold me in my heart." ā
Li Guo smiled slightly, turned around and left.
Good managers seem to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, such as Pep Guardiola, Mourinho, Van Gaal, Li Guo is the same, and in the next few days, Li Guo is almost demanding in training, and he will guide every cross.
The new players in the team will inevitably start to be dissatisfied, after all, Li Guo's training is more than 10 times stricter than they usually do in the club, and the older generation of players is different, physically tired, but happy, Chinese football needs such a paranoid coach, and now there is.
Two days before the game, Al Jazeera's football reporter Ibrahim wanted to film the Chinese team's training.
The Qataris have their purpose, which seems to be neutral, but in fact, it is to prepare for the match between the Chinese team and Qatar in the future.
Ibrahim also knew that it was unlikely that Li Guo would agree, but unexpectedly, Li Guo readily agreed.
The whole interview was arranged on the training ground of the Chinese team, and when Ibrahim's team set up the equipment, Li Guo sat leisurely, without any tension before the war.
