Football and public welfare. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past, football and charity had little to do with it, but now football and charity are very close, and it is well known that Barcelona has endorsed the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) for free.
You must know that Barcelona's chest advertising is very valuable, which is equivalent to spending tens of millions of euros a year on public welfare.
On such an important stage as the World Cup, the top eight teams were invited to participate in UNICEF's charity activities, and the invited teams readily agreed.
The Chinese and German teams were invited to visit the orphans in a local orphanage in Fortaleza.
Li Guo has wanted to do this for a long time, in China, only Yao Ming has had such an honor before, and Da Yao, as a representative invited by the United Nations, has been to Africa many times to participate in public welfare activities.
Li Guo knows that in Europe and the United States, after a person makes money, he must be recognized, not by what car you drive, but by how much you contribute to charity.
That's why Warren Buffett and Bill Gates announced naked donations to give back all their wealth to the society.
After an hour's journey, the bus came to a local orphanage with decent conditions, according to the entourage, in Brazil, less than one percent of orphans can live in well-equipped orphanages.
Most children will crawl around in society, and some will even be adopted by bad people and become tools for evil.
As soon as you get off the bus, the flashing lights will flash into a crowd, and this charity event has attracted a lot of media attention, which is also the most important purpose of UNICEF's celebrity endorsement, that is, to attract attention and gather more social forces.
Li Guo walked to the microphone, "I am honored that UNICEF can invite the Chinese team to participate in this event. ”
Since then, on the map of China's charity, there is not only Da Yao, but also Li Guo and his national team, which is indeed very good.
"Do you think this kind of event will affect the team's preparation?"
'Of course not, on the contrary, I think it will help my players, people should give back when they are able, and I am honored to say that.
Finally, Li Guo announced, "I decided to donate $1 million to UNICEF in the name of the Chinese national team out of my own pocket, and in the future, when the Chinese team participates in international competitions, at least once a year, we will change the UNICEF logo on the chest of our jersey." ”
There was applause at the scene, these are all real money and silver payments, which are much more useful than saying a word about the scene, and the money is still Li Guo's own.
At this time, the bus of the German team also arrived, the reporters moved over, and the staff of UNICEF signaled the Chinese team to go first.
*****
In Brazil, there are only two kinds of so-called orphans, those who cannot afford to raise them, or children with disabilities, and parents do not want to raise them.
At a glance, most of them were disabled children, and at last year's Confederations Cup, the opening match kicked off with a disabled person, wearing a human exoskeleton, and kicked off the opening game, which was also the first time that a disabled person kicked off for an international football tournament.
Li Guo saw a child in a wheelchair with a football and wondered, how could he play football?
Li Guo asked the translator to ask, but the other party did not answer, but directly used the ball above his head, one, two...... Until more than thirty, the ball was still bouncing steadily on his head, which stunned the Chinese players on the scene and couldn't help applauding.
"That's amazing," Mr. Li said.
Li Guo asked the interpreter to tell the little boy that he could give him a God World Cup ball, and the little boy was very happy and hoped that it would be signed.
Li Guo shook hands with the little boy and said that it would definitely be done.
In fact, although the children here have all kinds of problems, they all have a common characteristic, that is, optimism, Li Guo has also practiced top ball, knowing that it is difficult, and practicing to this extent in a wheelchair, this must be an optimistic little boy.
As we walked, the hearts of the players gradually sank, and I was shocked that I rarely saw children with disabilities and could not imagine the difficulties of their lives.
Suddenly, Li Guo felt that someone had hit him, and the UNICEF staff immediately stopped the other party, Li Guo looked at it, and the other party seemed to have cerebral palsy, his eyes were a little slanted, and he kept saying something to Li Guo.
Li Guo asked curiously, "What did he say?" ”
The UNICEF staff looked embarrassed, "He's scolding you." ”
Li Guo was even more puzzled, we met for the first time today, there was no injustice and no hatred, why are you scolding me, it turns out that the other party is a fan of the Brazilian team, he has seen Li Guo on TV, and he knows that Li Guo is not a good person.
The staff said that his IQ was affected, so he was like a child, and he was straightforward.
Li Guo never apologized to the Brazilians, and this time he broke the ring, and he asked the interpreter to tell the other party that he was sorry to eliminate the Brazilian team.
I didn't expect the other party to ask, is it true?
This time the Chinese team players were amused, Mu Fei didn't need a translator, and told him directly, we are sorry, if we can do it again, then we will definitely lose to the Brazilian team, the Brazilian team is great.
Everyone "coaxed" him together, and soon the other party smiled, saying that he liked Li Guo and the Chinese team.
Mu Fei sweated on his forehead, and he told everyone, "Actually, he misunderstood, he thought that we were going to give up the quarterfinals to the Brazilian team, and he could still see the Brazilian team in the next game, so he was very happy." ”
Hahaha, what a child, this can also make it? But no one told the truth, and they all cooperated and said, we are going back to China, let the Brazilian team play instead of us.
This time he was completely satisfied, ran back, and said that he would tell the "good news" to the other friends.
"That will be a goof," Li asked.
The staff said: "No, the children in the Qizhi class are all with the Qizhi class, which means that his friends have the same symptoms as him." ”
Hearing this, Li Guo was sad for a while, and then thought about it, this is okay, at least they can be happy for a while, even if it is a day or two.
Mu Fei looked at the children and said, "I must play football well, become the number one star in the world, and then help those in need." ”
"Head, will you laugh at my dreams?"
"Of course not, among your many dreams, this time is the greatest, and the only one that has nothing to do with pickling girls."
Mu Fei's face darkened, "When people are sensational, you can just cooperate, what are you doing with those nonsense." ”
Li Guo patted Mu Fei, "Okay, then I won't talk about it, I will fully support you for this dream." ”
At this moment, someone from behind shouted, "Li Guo." (To be continued.) )
