Chapter 89: Seven Years Ago
Li Guo stretched out his right index finger, twisted his middle finger and thumb, and then said, "How about we gamble?" Do you prefer American knives, euros, Chinese yuan or Argentine pesos. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Seeing that Li Guo didn't look like he was joking, Maradona was happy, "You know, I love environmental protection, so it's better to use a green knife." ”
"OK, 1 million US dollars," Li Guo stretched out his right hand, as long as Maradona held his hand, then the two sides made a deal, but Lao Ma hesitated, thinking: "Why did Li Guo give himself money?" ”
Because in his opinion, Argentina's victory over China is not 100%, but at least 99.9%, Li Guo is tantamount to giving himself money, Lao Ma likes money, but he doesn't like unclear money.
"Li Guo, can I ask you why you did this, what is your purpose?"
Li Guo didn't go around in circles, "Of course I have a purpose, if I win, you have to do one thing for me." ”
Lao Ma smiled, "This is not good, in case your request is for me to marry my precious daughter to you." ”
Li Guo's stomach tightened, and he almost vomited, "Your daughter? I huh. ”
"Of course not, what I'm talking about is related to football," Li thought about it a long time ago, he has new plans for the development of Chinese football after the Olympics, and he needs these football bigwigs to help when the time comes.
Since he didn't like his daughter, it would be easy to do, and with 1 million US dollars in front, Maradona held his hand tightly to Li Guo, "Deal!" ”

Argentina!
When the country is introduced in middle school textbooks, there are three things mentioned - tango, beef, and football.
Although no one has done a survey, in China, Argentine fans and Brazilian fans should be about the same,
If Brazilian football is as passionate as samba, then Argentine football is as elegant as a tango, and if Brazilian football is as passionate as the sun, then Argentine football is as elegant as a breeze.
For Chinese football, the most famous match with Argentina was the 2001 World Youth Championship, where the Chinese team lost 1-2 in the quarterfinals.
Seven years have passed, and the Chinese team will play Argentina again, what will be the result?
One person who suddenly became a hot figure before the game was Qu Bo, who equalized for China in the 2001 World Youth Championship against Argentina.
In an interview with a reporter from "Sports Weekly", Qu Bo recalled the beautiful scene of that year.
"Argentina scored in the first three minutes and they were the hosts, but we were not afraid and scored a goal,"
"We know that the Chinese team lost 1-2 in the end of that game, what do you think the Chinese team lost in the end?"
"Fitness!"
"Is it only physical?"
"I think yes, the Chinese team is not bad in terms of tactical execution, and we are not inferior on the field, and the final defeat is really because we can't run in the second half."
"That is, the other party's training is better?"
"It should be more scientific,"
"So do you think there is a big gap between the current Chinese Olympic Games and the Argentine Olympic Games?"
Qu Bole said, "To be honest, the gap is very big,"
"In other words, do you think the Chinese team has no chance?"
'Of course not, the football is round and we have the advantage of the hosts.'
"Actually, you were very vocal before the Olympics, but in the end you didn't occupy a quota for overage players, do you regret that?"
"Of course, it's a pity, because everyone wants to participate in the Olympics held in their home country, but there are only three overage places in the Olympics, and Coach Li finally chose Jihai, Weifeng, and Zheng Zhi, I think they are also the best players in China, so I have nothing to say."
"Okay, so can you predict the score,"
Qu Bo smiled knowingly, and then said: "Since Argentina was 2-1 last time, then I think we will have a 2-1 opponent this time." ”

At the last press conference before the match between the Chinese team and Argentina, the reporters crowded in at the scene have been overcrowded, but there are still many people at the door who want to squeeze in, this is the last day of the Beijing Olympics, and it is also the final of the football competition, which can be said to be highly anticipated.
After several delays, the press conference finally began, with Argentina coach Batista taking questions first.
"Sergio, first of all, congratulations to Argentina for reaching the final, this is the second consecutive Olympic final for the Argentine Olympic team, and what is even more surprising is that the Argentine Olympic team has not lost a single goal in two Olympic Games, my question is is now the time when Argentina is the strongest?"
"I can't say that, there have been too many great players in the history of Argentina, but there is no doubt that Argentina is really strong now, especially Messi, Sergio Aguero, Riquelme and other players."
"Argentina's goal is only to win the championship, right?"
"Of course," Batista replied with a smile.
Another European journalist asked: "I heard that Diego is also in Beijing, have you met?" ”
Batista shook his head, "I didn't know Diego was here, we weren't friends in private. ”
After Batista's question time, it was Li Guo's turn, and I have to say that results determine popularity, and now Li Guo's aura is different when facing reporters.
The first question was asked by a CCTV reporter.
"Director Li, first of all, congratulations on keeping your job," there was a burst of laughter from the scene, "but I think the goal of our Chinese team is definitely not just a silver medal." ”
"I want to say that Argentina is great, Argentina is one of the best teams in the world, but I have only one goal, to beat Argentina!"
This answer was not unexpected, Li Guo dared to shout the slogan of the top three before the Olympics, and it should be normal to shout to win the championship before the final.
The next question was asked by the Korean reporter last time, Li Guo joked: "You still dare to come," and now there was a big burst of laughter, but the Korean reporter had a strong psychological quality, and also laughed, and then asked: "Coach Li, you shouted to defeat Argentina, so can I ask the Chinese team why?" Have you figured out how to defend against Messi? ”
Li Guo replied: "Messi is very strong, he is one of the greatest players in the world, but football is a team sport, and I mean not only the 11 people on the field, but also a lot, such as fans, so we also have our own advantages." ”
At the end of the press conference, there was a fun session where the managers of both sides could ask each other a question.
Batista asked first.
"What's your favourite player in Argentine history?"
"Canigia, the son of the wind," Li Guo replied simply.
"Will you come to the Super League to coach in the future?"
Batista smiled, a little disdainful, but Li Guo knew that Batista would come to the Chinese Super League to coach Shanghai Shenhua later.
