Chapter 144: Expedition to Abu Dhabi

Coming to Abu Dhabi, Li Guo led the team to the home stadium of the United Arab Emirates, and the Sayed City Stadium stepped on the field. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This is a very beautiful stadium, and it should be said that in a country like the UAE, some countries are built at the expense of money and strive for luxury.

From a distance, the Sayed City Stadium looks like a big cream cake, while the 14 pools that surround it are as beautiful as 14 emeralds.

Li Guo and the players of the Chinese team are also very satisfied with the turf of the course, and it is not easy to maintain such a good course in this desert country all year round.

The UAE has no possibility of qualifying in the top 10 matches, but this tyrant country, like Qatar, has never changed its dream of football, Li Guo knows that the UAE is a very important force on the map of Asian football in the future, so this time Li Guo wants to inspect UAE football.

After a day of inspection, Li Guo and Chen An were a little surprised, there are many high-quality small courts in this country, and most of them are free to open, you must know that the UAE is a country with a serious shortage of water.

It can be seen that this country has invested a lot in football, and this investment is very good, not spent on buying football stars, but really giving its young people a place to play, "No wonder this country later produced Gulf Messi-Omar (although it is an immigrant)." ”

Although this game is an innocuous one, both sides attach great importance to it, for the UAE, it is an opportunity to learn, and for the Chinese team, it is an opportunity to practice.

Li Guo knows that the 2022 World Cup will be held in the Gulf country of Qatar, and if that is a bit far away, then the 2011 Asian Cup will also be held in Qatar, so it is also very helpful for the Chinese team to adapt to the climate of the Gulf countries in advance.

When the game is played, the whole audience is dressed in white robes, and women are not allowed to watch the game on the court, which is a characteristic of this country.

The Chinese team is still a high-school striker tactic in this game, and Ji Ke rushes forward alone, which is a special effect play for all national teams in West Asia except Iran, because West Asian football is soft, and fans who have watched the top 10 matches will have such an impression, the West Asian team is the RB team, but it will not work when it meets Australia, and this is the reason.

Without Zhou Dun and Yin Di, the Chinese team's backline ability to resist hitting has dropped by one level, so after the game started, the game was evenly matched, and the UAE frontcourt players' ball protection skills were very good, and it was difficult for the Chinese team to grab it.

But as the game continued, the advantages of the Chinese team gradually emerged, or Ji Ke's fulcrum role, when Ji Ke could hold the ball for a few seconds in the front court, everything was different, which Li Guo had always wanted, and Chen Green couldn't do it before.

"Li Guo, Ji Ke's role is really great," Chen An said.

"Well, but it's not enough, I hope Kiko can eventually become a well-rounded center forward like Ibrahimovic,"

'Well, but that's hard, whether it's Ibrahimovic or Vieri, it's a top center forward that you can't find.

"There are always dreams," Li Guo said with a smile.

The process of the game was good, but the final result was a bit cold, the Chinese team lost 0-1 away, mainly because the main players of the Chinese team did not come, just like the qualifiers in 2001, China lost one when they went away.

Li Guo seemed very calm, and when answering reporters' questions in the mixed interview area, Li Guo said lightly: "Just think of it as saving character for the World Cup." ”

In this way, the top 10 matches are over, and the Chinese team has reached the World Cup finals for the second time after Milu.

*****

After the game, Li Guo gave the players a day off to take a stroll around Abu Dhabi, the second shopping paradise in the Gulf after Dubai.

One thing that hasn't changed before, before or after the crossing, is the two poles of Asian football.

One pole is the Chinese Super League that burns money without blinking, and the other pole is the Middle Eastern tyrants who buy clubs without blinking, and the second-rate giants that rose in Europe later are basically all masterpieces of Middle Eastern capital.

But at this time, Li Guo didn't know that he was actually being targeted, and it was the UAE Football Association that was eyeing Li Guo.

10 million euros!

This is the annual salary prepared by the UAE for Li Guo, the UAE knows that Li Guo's contract with the Chinese Football Association is signed until the World Cup in South Africa, and they are preparing to poach Li Guo to prepare for the next World Cup cycle.

Li Guo does not have an official agent, but everything is basically through Chen An, so this news was relayed to Li Guo by Chen An.

When he heard the news, Li Guo couldn't say that he was completely unmoved, who doesn't love money?

"What do you think?"

Li Guo knew that Chen An and others' income was directly linked to him, and he also had the right to speak in this regard.

"Li Guo, to be honest, I'm tempted,"

"Well, I know this, now the Chinese league is market-oriented, but the salary of the national team coaching team is still rigid, if you come to the United Arab Emirates, you and Robin can earn more."

Chen An was a little shy, "Wouldn't I be too unrighteous like this?" ”

"Hehe, actually, no, we also do things according to the contract."

"Then are you willing to give up the players of the national team? They are all you worked so hard to find back, remember before the Olympics, they were labeled by the media as "players picked up by Li Guo". ”

This is said to Li Guo's heart, for Chinese football, Li Guo has too many things that are difficult to give up.

"Haha, Chen An, it seems that I have to be sorry for you again this time, delaying your fortune."

Chen An smiled, "Anyway, I've been delayed by you for a lifetime." ”

The informal contact was fruitless, but Li Guo's reputation in Asia was already not to be underestimated, coupled with his arrogant personality, all of which made Li Guo known as the Mourinho of Asia in the media.

The Chinese Football Association is also afraid that Li Guo will be poached, so within the Football Association, the call for renewing Li Guo's contract in advance has gradually become stronger, among which Cai Hua is a representative who firmly supports Li Guo, he hopes to renew Li Guo's contract as soon as possible, and extend Li Guo's contract to the end of the 2011 Asian Cup, and some people even hope to sign until the end of the World Cup in Brazil.

At this moment, a Chinese club approached Li Guo in advance, and they made a brain-opening request to Li Guo, which was groundbreaking even in the world.
