Chapter 169: Post-Match Press Conference
On the field, the players were strong, but back in the locker room, Qu Bo couldn't help it and cried out with a wow. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Li Weifeng stroked Qu Bo's face with both hands, "No one blames you, what are you crying about, you just lost a game, and it's still Argentina." β
In fact, everyone's hearts are very uncomfortable at this time, losing to Argentina is nothing, but what is unacceptable is to be killed.
Just a little bit, the Chinese team can force Argentina to draw, just a little bit!
Wang Dalei said with a smile: "Even if it's crying, it's me crying, after all, it's me who fishes the ball from the door." β
Everyone laughed, and finally Li Weifeng said: "Everyone hold their heads high, it's a game against Ivory Coast in a few days, and we have to win that game." β
Meanwhile, Li Guo was at the scene of the post-match press conference.
Lao Ma sent a hug to Li Guo, he thought that in 2008 it was Batista's incompetence that Argentina lost to China, but today he understands that the Chinese team is strong.
Time first to Maradona.
"Diego, first of all, congratulations to Argentina for their first win, but the game was tough, why? In my opinion, the Argentine players are not in good shape. β
Maradona shrugged his shoulders and said in a sophisticated tone: "I think the three points are the most important, as long as you win the first game, after all, Argentina is aiming for seven games, so we can't break out every game." β
"In my opinion, is there a problem with your several substitutions, for example, you replaced Veron, and Veron's form is very poor, and some people even say that Veron's strength is no longer suitable for the World Cup."
"Again, we Argentina are very strong, but it is impossible to break out on the field, and Veron is the same, he is not me."
"Do you regret abandoning Riquelme?"
Maradona smiled, "In this team, no one is indispensable except me. β
The reporter then mentioned Mascherano, "How is Javier, is the injury serious?" β
Lao Ma shook his head, "I don't know yet, it was he who gestured to be replaced, then I had to replace him, that's it, I'm the same as you in the further situation, I have to wait for the team doctor's report." β
"If Xavier can't hold on, it will be a big loss for Argentina, after all, Argentina only has Xavier as a defensive midfielder."
'I hope Javier is okay, but if he can't hold on, Argentina still has a lot of options, like Demichelis, he can also play in the back.
"When it comes to Argentina's defence, it's all veterans, do you have any preparations for the renewal of the Argentine backline?"
Maradona smiled, "If the Argentine Football Federation renews my contract for four years, then I will seriously consider this issue, otherwise, you should not ask me such a question." β
"What do you think of Messi's stunner, is it Argentina's luck?"
'Of course not, I felt like I had lent my left foot to Leo, who is the greatest player in Argentina right now, and I think that goal was what Leo deserved, because we should have scored the second goal.
Then time was given to Li Guo.
"It's a pity that I lost the game, Director Li, what I want to ask is, is it a little late to replace Qu Bo?"
Li Guo knew that this question would definitely be asked by everyone, "There is no tactical intention to replace Qu Bo, it's just that Shen Rui's physical fitness is not good, and then I will replace Qu Bo, so it shouldn't matter sooner or later." β
In fact, the reporter is like this, Li Guo replaced Ji Ke and scored, everyone didn't care, but Qu Bo wasted an opportunity, and everyone remembered it.
Li Guo could only say to himself: "I hope everyone remembers Ji Ke's goal, which was the first goal of the Chinese team in the World Cup." β
Then Li Guo began to applaud alone, no one applauded with Li Guo, but Maradona was very face-saving, he applauded with Li Guo, and then one after another, everyone joined in.
"Coach Li, you were very humble before the game, but judging from your substitutions, you still have the idea of winning this game."
Li Guo nodded, "It's a lie to say that you don't want to win, even if the opponent is a strong team like Argentina, in fact, we have a chance to win in the second half, and the scoring opportunities we created in the second half will not be less than Argentina, but in terms of the ability to grasp the opportunity, we are not as good as Argentina." β
This is also the truth, although many people don't care, Li Guo knows that the World Cup only cares about the strong, but he wants to remind everyone to pay attention to the efforts of the Chinese team.
The next reporter asked: "If you don't score points in the first game, then the next game with Ivory Coast will be a battle of life and death, and if you lose, the Chinese team will be eliminated." β
"I know what you mean, but at least we scored in this World Cup," Li Guo said with a wry smile, and everyone laughed too.
"I think my team will definitely win, we won't be eliminated, I don't accept it, and the Chinese fans can't accept it."
*****
On the bus back to the hotel, the players talked and laughed, in fact, after the game, I thought about it, this game was very exciting, and Argentina played in the World Cup, and Argentina's two generations of football kings, that can be bragged for a lifetime, and you can talk to your grandson in the future.
Li Guo said to Chen An: "Do you think I was too timid in the game to fight with Argentina." β
Chen An shook his head, "The past is over, I won't be hindsighted, I only care about the next game now." β
"CΓ΄te d'Ivoire," Li Guo thought to himself.
When you think of Ivory Coast, you will see a lot of names coming to mind, Drogba, Yaya Toure, Kalou, and Kolo Toure are all black and hard types, and such opponents are difficult for Asian teams to deal with.
"Don't worry, we're going to win, we're going to make it out of the group, do you believe me?"
Chen An smiled, "I believe you have a lung." β
"Damn, it looks like changing assistant coaches should really be on the agenda."
"Li Guo, don't blame me for being frustrated, if the result of the next game is not good, then have you thought about our next job?"
Li Guo also understands that unless he plays a little in the World Cup, it is difficult to renew the contract, and Chinese football has always been superstitious about foreign coaches, especially European coaches, so he and Milu are incomparable.
"I haven't thought about this problem, you know my character, I won't give up easily, unless the Football Association kicks me out, or I won't leave."
Chen An smiled, he was angry and funny about Li Guo's scoundrel character, and he really couldn't say anything.
Back at the hotel, Li Guo began to watch another match between France and Ivory Coast, the result of which will directly affect the qualification of the national football team. And tomorrow, the national football team will leave Johannesburg, and the next stop is Cape Town. (To be continued.) )
