Chapter 315: Slum (1)
When the Chinese team returned to Rio, the results of the other semi-final were also in, and the match between Spain and Italy also played to a penalty shootout, and finally Spain beat Italy by one goal and entered the final. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The media immediately reported on it with the title "Another Victory of the Spanish Dynasty", but only Li Guo knew that this should be the last glory of the Spanish Dynasty, and the team will experience a decline after that, but maybe it will not happen in this Confederations Cup.
At least now the world still feels that Spanish football is inexplicable, and the Chinese team will die ugly in the final.
Spanish coach Bosque expressed his respect for the Chinese team, and Li Guo was also polite, after all, the war of words before the football game was noisy for the media to see, and it was meaningless.
But when both the Chinese and Spanish teams arrived in Rio, the Brazilian organizing committee invited the two teams to participate in a very special event - a visit to the largest slum in Rio, the "Rossinha Slum".
The reason for this idea is that the outside world has been worried about Brazil's safety, and many countries have even advised their citizens not to go to Brazil to watch the World Cup next year.
The Brazilian government has put a lot of effort into slum management, but the outside world knows nothing about it, so the Brazilian organizing committee came up with the idea of having the two finalist teams visit the slums as a way to prove to the world that Brazil has changed.
Such a request is considered charity, and it is difficult for China and Spain to refuse, but the organizing committee is required to ensure the absolute safety of the players, and Brazil has arranged a lot of special police as protection to ensure the safety of the players.

As the buses carrying Chinese and Spanish players drove to the slums, they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Rows of neat high-rises, beautiful Ipanema Beach, is this the legendary slum?
But the accompanying guide quickly told everyone that the Rossinha slum is located halfway up the Corcovado Mountains, close to the beautiful Ipanema Beach, and is separated from the rich area.
I see, it was really heaven on one side and hell on the other, and when the bus turned the corner, you could see that the mountainside was lined with dense dilapidated houses, as if they were all piled together.
The tour guide said that the houses are now all whitewashed, so some are pink, some are blue, and they used to be basically all gray.
But no matter what, the first impression of these buildings is that they are chaotic, very chaotic, and unorganized.
After the bus climbed halfway up the mountain, the players had to get off the bus and hike, and the players were still a little worried, because there is a Hollywood movie "City of God" that depicts the slums of Rio, and the slums in the movie are full of violence, like a place outside the law.
Li Guo was the first to get off the bus, walking and walking, and saw a black man on the side of the road looking at him, Li Guo greeted the other party in simple Portuguese, but the other party ignored Li Guo.
Li Guo looked left and right, and suddenly wanted to go inside to see, so Li Guo walked into a house, and the tour guide was too late to stop him behind him.
After Li Guo entered a slum family, he felt that the environment was okay, and there was no imaginary scene of sewage crossflow, but the space was a little smaller and the lighting was a little worse.
Just as Li Guo was taking a closer look, the tour guide behind him rushed up, "Li Guo, don't act casually, if something happens to you......"
Before the other party finished speaking, Li Guo said with a smile: "Don't worry, I can't have an accident." ”
But the house the size of a pigeon house was seen at a glance, and Li Guo and the tour guide walked out and returned to the main road.
The tour guide's name is Gustavo, a surname that is very common in Latin-speaking countries, and Li Guo asked with great interest: "Why doesn't the Brazilian government give them a little money to let them move out?" ”
"Hehe, because they don't want to."
"Why, would anyone want to live in a dirty place?"
"This is because Brazilian law says that in Brazil, as long as you live on a piece of land for more than 40 years, you are the owner of the land."
In this way, Li Guo understood that the reason why these people endured all this was to finally get a piece of land.
"Was it really dangerous here before?"
Gustavo smiled slightly, "At least I didn't dare to come here when I was a child, for fear that I wouldn't be able to go back in danger, but now I ......"
"How's it going?"
Gustavo seemed to make a "you know" expression, "At least next year's World Cup, it should be safe here." ”
Li Guo smiled, it seems that this is the case in any country, after all, many problems are quite difficult to solve, and Brazil's slums have a long history.
Just when Li Guo was chatting happily, there was a sudden loud "bang" in the distance, and then I heard someone shouting: "Get down, get down." ”
Li Guo thought to himself, no, must there be a big news?
After a short period of tension, the guards at the scene lifted the alarm, and it turned out to be a false alarm, and a car on the side of the road had a flat tire.
It seems that it is impossible for Rio not to take risks, Li Guo turned to look at his players, and they were all quite calm. But the accompanying tour guide was really scared, it is estimated that he often moves here, and he has seen too much!
"By the way, is there a TV signal in the slums, can I watch football?"
Gustavo said: "Yes, there is, but in Brazil a lot of games have to be paid to watch, so it's more difficult. ”
"Ronaldo, are they really playing in such an environment?"
"It's true, in Brazil you can play football if you have two legs."
Li Guo nodded, this is also a Brazilian characteristic, walking and walking, I found that the condition of some houses would be a little better, Li Guo didn't know why.
It turns out that in order to solve the problem of too many tourists for next year's World Cup, many houses in the slums will become temporary inns or restaurants.
"Really? Then can you find a place for us to eat and experience it. ”
"That's no problem, there's a Brazilian-style restaurant in front of it, and the owner is a black uncle named Augusto."
"Okay, let's go there."
At this time, the Chinese team and the Spanish team had separated, and they went their separate ways, and Li Guo took the players of the Chinese team to dinner.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I felt that the environment was a little cramped, the owner was very enthusiastic, he pointed upstairs, said that there was a surprise upstairs, and when the players went upstairs, they found that it was indeed a surprise, it turned out that here you can see Ipanema Beach from afar.
Mu Fei walked to the edge of the balcony, looked into the distance, and jokingly said, "Boss, your house is so beautiful, can it be sold." (To be continued.) )
