Chapter 615: Making Big News
Boban is here!
Boban and Suker, that was Croatia's golden generation at the 1998 World Cup, when the little-known Croatia reached the semi-finals and only lost to the hosts, France. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since then, the Plaid Army has had its own place on the world football stage, and young talents from Croatia have emerged from generation to generation, but what everyone misses the most is the generation of Suker and Boban, and perhaps the summer of France has left too much impression on everyone.
Boban came to watch Croatia play this time, because if nothing else, Croatia will definitely qualify from the group, and may even be the top of the group.
"I don't really care what opponents Croatia will face when they qualify, I think this Croatia team has the quality to win the World Cup."
Although it is a bit arrogant in the face of reporters' remarks, no one can deny that there are too many Croatian stars, Modric, Rakitic, these are the world's top stars, as long as the team is running normally, then no one can say whether they will repeat the miracle of France in 98.
In addition, when it comes to the topic of the Cold War between the Croatian coach and the media, a bad-tempered Boban is outspoken.
"I think the biggest weakness of Croatia is that we are too humble, even if it was as brilliant as '98, we were like a good boy."
"And you media like people like Li Guo, people who come out to sensationalize at every turn, do you think that kind of people have news points."
"I admit it, Li Guo fed your boring media, but Croatia is Croatia, our national personality is like this, talk less and do more, we kick the ball with our feet, not our mouths."
The reporters at the scene looked at each other, this guy's mouth is also very big, and his temper is not much better than Li Guo.

"Who is this guy? I don't know him, why rub the news on me, it's too ugly," Li Guo said, looking at the news.
Chen An smiled, "Li Guo, you pretend again, he is very famous, Boban." ”
As a de facto post-80s generation, Li Guo doesn't know much about Boban's generation, Boban, like Barty, is considered an ancient god, although it is still a little closer to Bailey's ancient gods, but Li Guo doesn't understand.
"Really? Maybe it's been too long, it's been 20 years,"
"This guy was a big name back then, just like Luka Modric and Rakitic now, and it was Suker and Boban back then."
"Oh," Li Guo replied.
"By the way, it's going to be a game tomorrow, Li Guo, are you really ready to send all the substitutes?"
"yes, what?"
Li Guo was puzzled, what was the problem with Chen An?
Chen An didn't think there was a problem at the time, but the more he thought about it after he went back, the more he felt that there was a problem, because Portugal would definitely make trouble, and Portugal now accumulated one point and still retained the hope of qualifying, provided that the Chinese team defeated Croatia.
If the Chinese team is sent out as a substitute to play, is that a violation of the principle of fair play? It can be big or small, especially in the World Cup.
In addition, even if it is not a violation, it also involves moral issues, Chen An thought a lot, but Li Guo didn't think about it so much, his idea is very simple, preserve strength.
Li Guo said: "What are you worried about? Say! ”
Chen An said it directly, Li Guo frowned after hearing it, he knew that what Chen An said was really not groundless, think about it from another angle, if he is the head coach of Portugal, will it make trouble? It's going to be a mess.
"Chen An, this time you are more thoughtful, but I must maintain my strength."
"Then you're ready to be scolded,"
"Not necessarily, what if we do that?"
Li Guo came up with a very simple idea, that is, to confide the news to the media in advance, if everyone knows, it will not be a surprise attack, and test the water to see the attitude of FIFA.
When Portugal coach Fernando Santos saw the report, he immediately became angry, with the strength of the Chinese team, even if it is the main team, it may not be able to win Croatia, not to mention the substitute, which is equivalent to giving away points.
He immediately contacted the Football Association and the media he trusted, and if the Chinese team did that, then Portugal would appeal.
Sure enough, the pressure is coming, Chen An was right, and in this way, if Portugal is eliminated, it seems that the initiator is still the Chinese team.
Li Guo was in a dilemma, he was unwilling to change, and took a step back and said, if the main force is injured on the field, then who will compensate the Chinese team for the loss?
Li Guo has resorted to the old method, that is, to carry the pressure and bear it alone, he said publicly on social media.
"If the Chinese team sends the main team and gets a red card, or a player is injured, then who am I responsible? FIFA or Portugal? ”
"If I fight Croatia and the main player is injured, and Portugal is willing to lend Ronaldo to me, then I must fight hard, otherwise please shut up."
In the face of Li Guo's public call, the Portuguese and some neutral media exploded, Li Guo is completely unreasonable, isn't it what a professional team should do in the game?
In the end, Li Guo simply carried out the scoundrel to the end, "If Portugal wants to qualify, it should defeat the Chinese team in the first game, or defeat Croatia in the second round, instead of chirping crookedly at this time." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone had nothing to say, but they were even more angry, not only scoundrels, but also sarcastic for Portugal's incompetence.
In the end, FIFA did not come out to interfere, because Li Guo's approach was completely reasonable, just a normal rotation.
Things were slowly subsiding, but the big-mouthed Boban popped up again, citing the knockout rounds of Euro 2016, in which Croatia lost to Portugal in an advantageous situation.
"The Euros are still in the World Cup."
So Croatian fans and Portuguese fans made a fuss again, but at this time, there was a big event in the Russian World Cup, and compared with this incident, Li Guo, Boban, and Santos These war of words are insignificant.
That is, Russian fans and England fans fought, and it was the kind of big fight, which cast a huge shadow on the Russian World Cup, and Chen An learned through his relationship in the AFC that this incident is likely to affect the next World Cup matches.
Li Guo chuckled in his heart, although England football hooligans and Russian football hooligans sprayed each other trash before the start of the World Cup, but the Russian security was very well prepared, and there has been no accident, how is it possible?
Chen An said: "Let's be careful, if someone wants to make trouble, it is difficult to prevent it." ”
Li Guo nodded.
