Chapter 223: Magical Coach

In the first match of the 2002 World Cup, France vs Senegal, when the game ended, no one thought that this ball would be the end of France's golden generation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

That year, everyone saw Senegal's gorgeous football, met Diouf, and changed the stereotype of African football in the outside world, but the hero behind all this was slowly forgotten, that is, Senegal's French coach, Metsuo.

And he is now the head coach of Qatar, and Metsu is the kind of manager who is praised by the outside world as a manager who can improve the team by one or two notches in a short period of time, what is the secret? Maybe it's tactics, maybe it's training, but to the outside world, Metsu has always been a mysterious coach.

When Li Guo and Metsu appeared at the press conference together, it felt like a world away, because as a time-traveler, Li Guo knew that on October 15, 2013, the magical coach Metesu died of lung cancer at the age of 59.

Li Guo remembered that in his previous life, he saw the bad news of the death of Metsu on the sports news, at first Li Guo didn't know who the other party was, and when the 2002 World Cup Senegal game appeared on TV, Li Guo immediately remembered the elegant French gentleman standing in the coach's seat with curly hair and light blond hair.

"Li Guo, Li Guo, Li Guo......"

When the press officer called Li Guo, Li Guo was in a daze, but Mei Tesu was kind enough to touch Li Guo lightly, and the latter returned to reality from the wandering of thoughts.

"I'm sorry, I haven't slept well in the past few days, you ask again," Li Guo said.

The reporter got up and asked again, "In the first game, you sent out the Chinese second team, and public opinion criticized you for disrespecting the opponent, what do you think?" ”

Li Guo smiled, "I sent the second team because I respect the opponent very much, if I send the first team of China, then we will not win 5, maybe 15." ”

"Poof", the reporters at the scene couldn't hold back and laughed, if the Kuwaiti players were watching the live broadcast, it was estimated that they would cry and shout at their mothers and scold Li Guo.

Next up was a Qatari journalist, and all eyes were on the audience, as it was the first time that the two countries had gone head-to-head before the game.

"Unfortunately, we lost the first game, which means that if we lose to China in the second round, then as the host, Qatar will be out."

"I'm embarrassed, but you can think of it this way, Qatar was eliminated by the World Cup round of 16 teams, and it's not a shame to say it."

The reporters at the scene did not laugh, but they all grinned, in fact, they wanted to laugh, but they were embarrassed, after all, this is the host's field.

"Maybe," the Qatari reporter shrugged, but apparently it was an irony, "according to the information I have obtained, Lin Zhijian of your team is not a Chinese national, but a German national, Li Guo, you should have violated FIFA regulations by doing so." ”

Li Guo didn't expect the other party to ask this question, in fact, the procedures for Lin Zhijian are all being done, and they are in progress, and Li Guo's doing so is tantamount to playing a side game, and it can't be said that it is illegal or 100% compliant.

But what Li Guo can't tolerate the most is that it is the Qataris who raised this question, a national team where half of the players are foreigners.

Li Guo can be choked back, a Uruguayan Sebastian is enough for Li Guo to say for a long time, but now Li Guo is mature, he replied very seriously, "The formalities are all going through, I can guarantee that Lin Zhijian will not play before everything is done, and if you really don't believe me, then you can go to the AFC to complain." ”

The next question was for Metsu, "What is the reason for the loss in the first game?" ”

'I've said this a million times after the last game and it's all my fault because I'm the manager and I take it all but I would say that the lads did a great job and they didn't have a problem.

Maybe because he was French, talking and talking, Metesu gestured a lot and seemed very excited, Li Guo was really afraid that he would get sick, because he later learned that Metesu had been in poor health all the time, and he was supported by drugs.

"So what about this game, do you think Qatar still has a chance, and is the dream of Qatar's football power a bubble?"

"I'm sorry, there are two kinds of people that I won't comment, the first is the referee, and the second is my boss, so I can't answer you 10 years from now, 20 years from now, God knows where I was then?"

"I can only answer your questions about tomorrow's game, if you have any questions."

Maybe it's because of the weird questions asked after the last loss, Metsu looked a little irritable and tired today.

The next question was asked by a female reporter, perhaps a female relationship, and her question was gentle, "Have you found the weakness of the Chinese team?" ”

"Of course, the Chinese team is not Argentina, Germany, even Argentina has weaknesses, but I can't tell you now because Li Guo is there."

Then Metsu glanced at Li Guo, who was also very cooperative, and said, "Yes, I'm timid, don't tell me in advance, otherwise I won't be able to sleep all night." ”

In the end, the two were asked to name one of each other's merits, Li Guoxian said: "Qatar is an ambitious country, especially in football, you have successfully won the right to host the 2022 World Cup, in this point you should have gone ahead of Chinese football, I also want to congratulate you." ”

"Actually, I don't know much about the Chinese team, the first time I watched the Chinese team play was when they eliminated my home country in the World Cup in South Africa. ”

"I'm sorry," Li Guo said with a smile.

"No, they're to blame."

Metsu continued: "I think the Chinese team, as long as you give them a chance, they can catch it and convert it into a goal, which is scary. ”

In the end, Metrosu said politely: "If I step down, then I will recommend Li Guo to the Qatar Football Association as the new head coach." ”

The press conference on the scene is over, the coaches of both sides are very peaceful, whether it is Li Guo or Metesu, they are the head coaches who led the team to the round of 16 of the World Cup, and there is no need to blush in the group stage of the Asian Cup.

Looking at the back of Metsu leaving, Li Guo couldn't help but shout, "That ......"

"What?" Metsu turned.

"Do you still smoke?"

Metsu smiled and patted his pocket, "I can give you a share, but not here, there is surveillance." ”

"No, I mean ......"

"What?" Metsu thought that Li Guo was too weird.

Li Guo finally turned around and said before leaving: "Cigarettes, if you can, don't smoke them." (To be continued.) )
