Chapter 118: Tongan Football
Olympic men's football gold medal coach, in the hearts of amateur players like Palu, Li Guo is a male god!
Palu rubbed his hands on his body, wanting to shake hands with Li Guo, but he didn't dare, that was the most common situation when he saw an idol. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Li Guo stretched out his hand without saying a word, and then said, "I'm hungry." ”
Palu smiled, heartily, "Go to my house." ”
After depositing the seaplane at the dock, Li Guo and his party got into Palu's pickup truck, and soon the four of them arrived at Palu's home, Palu is 27 years old, married and has children, and his wife, like him, is an aborigine.
After eating, Li Guo, Palu, and Atani chatted in the courtyard, and Li Guo could obviously feel that this country was not as prosperous as Tahiti, but it also had its own peace and tranquility, which may be the happiness of a small country.
"I'm sorry, Palu, I didn't know anything about Tongan football, and even a month ago, I didn't know there was a country like Tonga."
"Yes, China is that big, there are 1.3 billion people, and we in Tonga only have 100,000 people. ”
"Well, so how is your country's football, can you enter the second phase of the Oceania zone of the World Cup qualifiers?"
Speaking of this, Palu's face was covered with a layer of worry, "Originally, the football level of our Tonga and Samoa, American Samoa, and Cook Islands is about the same, and under normal circumstances, it is either Tonga or Samoa to advance to the second stage, if you borrow the Asian saying, it is the top 8." ”
"But in recent years, Samoa has naturalized a Spanish player named Martinez, and their level has left us behind all at once."
As soon as these words came out, Li Guo also knew how bad the level of football in these 4 countries was, football is a team sport, if one person can change everything, it can basically prove that the other 10 people are equivalent to waste materials.
"Martinez?"
Li Guo knows that the surname Martinez in Spain is the same as the surname Li and the surname Wang in China, it is estimated that the streets are all over the street, maybe this Martinez is not good in Spain, so he came to Samoa to mix.
"Then you Tonga can also naturalize players," Mr. Li said.
Palu shook his head, "It's too late this time, the qualifiers have already started, and I won't be able to find a suitable one for a while." ”
After chatting for a few words, Li Guo found that he and Palu had nothing to talk about in football, the difference between professional and amateur was too big, for Palu, football was just a game, but although it was a game, Palu cared a lot.
"We Tonga and Samoa have taken enough points against the other two teams, and tomorrow's PK will decide who can go to the round of eight."
Atani patted Palu, "My friend, if it is Samoa who advances, then I will beat them hard in the round of 8." ”
"you!"
All three of them laughed, and after laughing, Li Guo thought, "Maybe there is only football in this world that can mobilize the passion of the whole country once every four years." ”
Great football!
Li Guo picked up the beer in front of him and said to Palu: "Friend, I will go to the scene tomorrow to watch the game, and I wish you to defeat Samoa." Go play the round of eight. ”
Palu was excited, picked up his beer, and drank it all, it seems that in any country, a "toast" is a way to express emotions.
*****
Palu's home is a small two-story building, but because of the hot and rainy country of Tonga, the first floor is basically unoccupied, and it is usually used as a kitchen and guests.
In this way, Palu's home is not rich, Li Guo can only share a room with Attani, and when he sleeps at night, Li Guo asks: "Do you think tomorrow's game in Tonga will be a play?" ”
Attani snorted, but everything was in plain sight, it was probably no fun, it was like two teams of college players playing, and one team suddenly had a professional player to help, it was a big difference.
"I want to help Palu," Mr. Li said.
"How can I help?" Artani asked curiously.
"Like helping them develop tactics,"
This time Atani laughed even louder, "Tactics? They don't even have a formation. ”
"There is no formation for kicking? How do you kick that? ”
"When the ball is at the opponent's feet, you run forward when the ball is at your feet, you shoot when you can, football here is that simple," Atani said. ”
Li Guo was speechless, and thought: "That's worse than college football, so it seems that there is really no way to help, and there is no even the most basic foundation." ”
"And will they juggle the ball?"
"Not necessarily, some will, for example, Palu will juggle the ball, and it will be fine to juggle the ball a dozen times."
"Damn," Li Guo almost vomited blood.
"What about the opponent, don't you have a formation either?"
"Nope,"
Li Guo suddenly felt very curious, "What will this kind of football be like?" It's also a kind of realm. ”
"Then what are you bringing me here for, your purpose?"
Atani suddenly became embarrassed.
"Say it,"
"After this game it's the last eight, and then Tahiti will play, I think...... You...... Can you help us. ”
So that's the case, Li Guo understands that this is a warm-up, and Artani wants Li Guo to take a look at the level of Oceania football.
"Attani, all I can say is that you're a thief."
Atani smiled awkwardly, "This is my idea, it may be unreliable, I know that the difference between professional football and amateurism is still very big, even if you teach us something advanced, we may not be able to achieve it." ”
"Don't say that, football is a common belief of mankind."
Atani was very touched by Li Guo's use of the word faith, he really took football as a faith, "Li Guo, you are great." ”
"Haha, you just know."
*****
The next day was match day, and Palu left home early, and his wife was in charge of bringing Li Guo and his party to the stadium.
When the Tongan national anthem was played, the audience at the scene was very excited, and Li Guo also stood up to show respect for the home team.
After the national anthem was played, the game officially began, with players from both teams picking sides under the guidance of the referee, and finally Tonga was awarded the first half kick-off.
After kick-off, an unbelievable scene appeared, only to see the Tongan player run two steps with the ball, and then "bang" a kick.
"What, this guy shot in midfield?"
Although Li Guo was fully prepared, at this moment, he was still thundered.
