Chapter 599: Kicking for Money

The Luzhniki Stadium is full, and from the visual point of view, half of them are Chinese fans, most of the rest are Russian fans, and there are very few green Nigerian fans, after all, it is not easy to come from Africa, and Nigerians are generally poor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Jianhong and Li Zibing have already sat down in the commentary seat, and they will witness the second game of the Chinese team in the group stage, which is also likely to qualify ahead of schedule.

"As long as China wins against Nigeria in this game, we will advance to the knockout round one round earlier," Liu said.

"I looked at the predictions at home and abroad, and 80% of people are optimistic that the Chinese team will win Nigeria, and this Nigeria is no longer the African eagles of the year,"

Liu Jianhong knows that the history of the African Eagles is too long, that can be traced back to the 1994 and 1998 World Cups, when Nigeria played beautiful football and knocked down many strong teams.

"For the viewers in front of the TV, Nigeria may not have started watching the game when they were glorious at the World Cup, so ......"

"The heroes don't mention the courage of the year?" Li Zibing said with a smile.

"Let's ask my partner to tell us about Nigeria's starting line-up."

Li Zibing has already cooked the rolling melons on Nigeria's starting back, and now he is just using it.

"Goalkeeper Ikome, from Wolves,"

……

'Mikel, from Chelsea, Onazi, from Trabzonspora.

……

'Heheanacho, from Manchester City, Moses, from Chelsea.

After Li Zibing's introduction, it happened that the big screen also played Nigeria's starter, which was the English version, with a 443 formation.

Goalkeeper - Ikome

Defenders - Balogun, Avazem, Etchegil, Madu

Midfielders - Mikel, Onazi, Ndidi

Forwards - Moussa, Iheanacho, Moses

Li Zibing also understands football now, she knows that these Nigerian players are all stars, and the average value can reach between 10 million and 20 million euros, which is actually not weak.

"On paper, Nigeria's first game shouldn't have been like that," Mr. Li said.

"It's just a matter of saying that football is never a math problem where one plus one equals two, for example, the problem of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, which England has never been able to solve,"

Li Zibing nodded, "The game is about to start, I wish the Chinese team good luck." ”

*****

Half an hour ago, in the locker room, head coach Hénôt Rohr was making the final mobilization, as a Frenchman, he often goes to Africa, because Africa is the backyard of French football, think about the French football in the past, those bigwigs are actually African immigrants.

Another point is that the way for French clubs to make money is to find potential players from Africa, bring them to France for training in Europe, and then train them and sell them to other leagues, Drogba is a typical example.

So Hönott Rohr knows a lot about the psychology of African players, in fact, most of them play football just for money, to escape the poverty of Africa.

"Kids, I want to ask you, what are you playing for the World Cup?"

"Motherland?"

"The Nigerian people?"

"Honor?"

"Dreams?"

Everyone's answer is different, and Hénôt Rohr laughed, "Don't be, I've worked in Africa, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, and Ghana, and I know you play just for money." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned at first, and then lowered their heads, even if they acquiesced, but they were always a little shy to say it in public, who doesn't have a little face?

"You don't have to play for me, you don't have to play for your country, you don't have to play for the pitiful prize money of the World Cup, but you have to play for yourself."

"What a big stage the World Cup is, do you know how many scouts are watching from the stands? If you're doing better, the big clubs in Europe will poach you with their checkbooks. ”

This remark was like a chicken blood for the player, and the head coach shouted Onazi, "What is your annual salary now?" ”

"1.3 million euros, after tax."

Hönott Rohr nodded, "Play better, go to the Chinese Super League, start at 8 million euros." ”

Onazi was stupid and happy, if that was the case, then when he retired, he would be able to be a tyrant in the south of France.

Everyone is tempted, in fact, this can't be blamed on them, after all, there are too few ways to go out of Africa, and long-distance running and football are two of the better ways, once out, who wants to go back?

The head coach felt that the motivation was almost there, "What I just said is the benefits of winning the Chinese team, and if you lose to the Chinese team, it will ......"

As soon as these words came out, the original exuberant atmosphere in the locker room was swept away, and if you lose, then there will be nothing, and you will be scolded when you return home.

At this time, all the players suddenly realized that they were really stupider than pigs before, and they were fighting with the head coach and not playing well, thinking that they were embarrassing the head coach, but in fact, they were harming themselves.

Mikel exchanged glances with several players in the team, and he now knew how powerful the head coach was, and this was the level of motivation for the master.

Moses confessed: "Boss, I was wrong. ”

"Me too, I'm stupid."

"Coach, forgive us, we hope you can coach the Nigerian national team for a long time."

Hernot Rohr sneered in his heart, he knew this, and he didn't need to bother to instill any football ideals, but fortunately, one of his French colleagues told him this method, otherwise this team would be really difficult to lead.

*****

When the players from both sides lined up and stood in the players' tunnel, Li Guo obviously felt the difference between the Nigerian players, and seemed to have more fighting spirit.

Li Guo doesn't know what's going on in the Nigerian locker room, but it feels normal to think about it, the World Cup is held every four years, what a big stage, no one wants to be eliminated in the second round, and Nigeria feels that the Chinese team still has a chance to fight.

When the Chinese players looked sideways, they found that the Nigerian players looked at them like wolves, and the feeling was still a little scary.

The Chinese players did not show weakness, Mu Fei also looked at them viciously, after the other party was inspired by the head coach, there was a feeling of desperateness, this feeling made Li Guo a little uneasy, not afraid of the opponent, but afraid of the Chinese players underestimating the enemy.

After the first round, the Chinese team was touted by the media, and all kinds of praise were used on the Chinese team, and pride was the most dangerous.

Li Guo is experienced, and there are some things that the head coach can't solve, so he can only look at the specific situation of the game, after all, the chances of football games are too great, and one or two actions can sometimes determine the outcome of a game.
