Chapter 211: On the Asian Cup

Ordered a German sausage and a bunch of German beer, and Chen An and Li Guo sat opposite each other. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Li Guo, why do you look absent-minded."

Li Guo smiled, "Guess what I'm thinking?" ”

Chen An smiled knowingly, dipped his finger in a little beer, and then wrote three words on the table - Asian Cup.

"Chen An, you are really a roundworm in my stomach."

"you."

The two laughed.

The Asian Cup is indeed the pain of Chinese football, as a former Asian powerhouse, the Chinese team has been infinitely close to the Asian Cup championship many times.

In 1984 and 2004, the Chinese team defeated their opponents in the final and won the runner-up, so in the upcoming Asian Cup in Qatar, the only hope of Chinese fans must be to win the championship.

Some people may say that it is not very simple to win the Asian Cup in the round of 16 of the World Cup? You must know that the South Korean team has also entered the top 4 of the World Cup, but the last time the South Korean team won the Asian Cup was in 1960, and there were only 4 teams participating at that time, and it was not the Asian Cup in the current sense, that is to say, in the Asian Cup that we are familiar with later, the South Korean team has never won the championship.

So don't think that the Asian Cup is easy, Asian football is also developing rapidly, and it is not so easy to be the king in Asian football.

"We all watched the live broadcast in '04, and I still regret that I stole our championship with handball," Li Guo said.

"Yes, that was the closest we got to the Asian crown in terms of strength, which is really a shame."

"So I want to take back the Asian Cup that I lost for seven years this time,"

"But it's not easy, especially this time it's the Asian Cup in West Asia, and you know that place in Qatar."

"It doesn't matter, the most important thing is that the expectations of the Chinese fans are different now, and I know that their only goal is to win the title, so there is a lot of pressure on the players."

"It can't be helped, the team is going up, and it's no wonder that the fans, it's impossible to make the fans' expectations go down."

"Well, I know, I have to find Li Zibing in this regard, at least in terms of media, to give the national football team a little less pressure."

"Hehe, that's the benefit of having a journalist lover,"

"You owe smoke again?"

Chen An smiled and took a sip of beer.

"One more thing,"

This time, Chen An seemed to have guessed again, "Are you worried about Chen Green?" ”

"Yes, Chen Green has been injured for half a year, and he has only recently started training with the ball, and he should be able to come back by the time of the Asian Cup, but the state must be barely strong, we still take advantage of the winter training of each team to find another striker in China, just like Ji Ke."

"Then you're not going to recruit Chen Green this time?"

Li Guo nodded, this is a difficult decision, but it is necessary, in fact, a month ago Li Guo flew to Los Angeles to inspect Chen Green, although full of confidence, but after communicating with the team doctor, Li Guo felt that the current Chen Green still did not meet the requirements of the game, after all, a broken leg and a torn cruciate ligament are the same, it is the biggest nightmare for athletes.

Li Guo's bigger goal is the Brazil World Cup, so he can't risk letting Chen Green participate in the Qatar Asian Cup, and he doesn't want Ronaldo's tragedy to happen to Chen Green.

"Let him spend the Spring Festival with his family in the United States in peace."

Chen An nodded, thinking of Chen Green, the scene of breaking his leg in South Africa a few months ago came into view, vividly.

"It's okay, the current Chinese team, Gao Lin, and Yu Dabao are enough."

"In addition, I will not be recruited for Jihai this time," Mr. Li said.

This is a bit unexpected, this should be Sun Jihai's last Asian Cup, so he should be allowed to participate.

"That's a bit impersonal," Mr. Chen said.

"Football is not about human affection, when the German team was in 2002, Kahn was the goalkeeper, but four years later, in the World Cup held in the country, Kahn was a substitute, and there was no winning general in football games, and I looked further in this Asian Cup, which was the World Cup held in Brazil."

"That means that if you can't go to Brazil, you won't bring it to Qatar?"

Li Guo nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then you have to talk to Jihai and let him accept it, I read Jihai's Weibo a few days ago, he trained very hard in winter, and said that he will definitely work hard in the Asian Cup."

"I will, Jihai is a better style among the older generation of players, and I will not forget his contribution to the national team."

Speaking of old players, Chen An timidly asked: "What about Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi?" ”

"It's all in my plan, they are different from Jihai, Jihai is playing on the wing, which requires a strong ability to run back and forth, Li Weifeng is now playing in the back, what is needed is experience, so it doesn't matter, even when it comes to the World Cup in Brazil, I think Li Weifeng can still bring it."

"Well, it's time for me to tell you the real purpose of my visit to Germany."

"Didn't you ask me to go on vacation?"

"Hehe, if it's a vacation, I'll look for a beautiful woman, who will go on vacation with you as a big man," Li Guo said with a smile.

"Damn, Li Guo, our friendship ends here."

Li Guo took out his mobile phone and called up a video to show Chen An, the player in the video is very sharp with the ball, with Chen An's experience, it can be seen that the potential of this child is not small.

"Where?"

"Hamburg's."

"Chinese?"

Li Guo nodded, "But he's still in Hamburg II, under Rudolfo Cardoso." ”

The Hamburg academy is well-known throughout Germany, and Chen An also visited it, and also met the Argentine coach at that time, Rodolfo Cardoso.

Chen An looked at Li Guo with a puzzled expression, the players discovered by Li Guo in the past were very unpopular, but how to say that they were also on the first team, but this time he actually stretched out his hand to the second team of Hamburg, does Li Guo have the ability to predict the future?

What Li Guo is talking about is Lin Zhijian, a Chinese teenager who later became popular in the Bundesliga and was favored by Loew.

It's just that Lin Zhijian became popular in October 2011, when the head coach of Hamburg was fired, and the coach of the second team was appointed in danger, Rudolfo Cardoso promoted the second team's love to the first team, and Lin Zhijian became an instant hit.

"Li Guo, you have to tell me honestly this time, how did you find these little-known players."

"I have my sources, in a word, secrets."

Chen An was suspicious, he looked at the video again, such a player was lucky to find once, but he can find it every time?

"Li Guo, have you crossed over?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Guo was almost frightened by the birth of the first Buddha and the second Buddha Nirvana, but Chen An then said, "Haha, it may be that I have read too many online novels recently." ”

Li Guo's soul that had already flown out came back, "Don't talk nonsense, buy a ticket and go, the next stop is Hamburg, Germany." (To be continued.) )
