In the end, the Chinese team defeated the South Korean team 3-0 in the first game of the top 10, and Li Guo restrained a lot at the post-game press conference, without stimulating the Koreans too much, probably because of the home team's loss, the press conference ended hastily.

Back at the hotel, Chen An found Li Guo and talked about something, it turned out that a domestic club had a project in South Korea, a football school jointly run by China and South Korea, and hoped that Li Guo could go to see it, which was also equivalent to promotion.

"How much do you give?"

"Don't give money, it's a project under the Chinese Football Association, I hope you can go to it."

"No, no."

Li Guo replied very resolutely, Chen An said with a smile: "I heard that there will be popular Korean female stars attending at that time. ”

Li Guo shrugged, "What is beautiful about Korean women, they are all made of plastic surgery." ”

Chen An smiled, "Don't say that, it's okay, there are still natural beauties in South Korea." ”

"By the way, why do you kid want me to go so much? Did you kid receive any benefits? ”

Chen An hurriedly waved his hand, "The conscience of heaven and earth, why don't you contact the Football Association directly, I don't care about your affairs in the future." ”

Li Guo was also happy, "But the problem is that the national team will return to China tomorrow,"

"Don't worry about this, I'll just lead the team back, the next game is our home game, in Shanghai, it's okay for you to return home a day later."

Since it is a project of the Chinese Football Association, Li Guo has nothing to do, so he can only reluctantly agree.

*****

The next day Lee came over to the football school.

This is a large-scale football school, China and South Korea each hold 50% of the shares, in fact, the cooperative football project was first proposed by South Korea, because South Korea's birth rate is getting lower and lower, and a lot of football resources have been invested around the 2002 World Cup.

However, these resources are slowly idle due to the low birth rate in South Korea, so cooperating with Chinese football is the best way, and domestic clubs are also happy to do such things, after all, it costs a lot of money to build a football school from scratch in China.

It was Manager Ma who was responsible for receiving Li Guo, and Li Guo was happy when he saw the other party, this Manager Ma really had a long face.

"Director Li, you are a distinguished guest,"

Li Guo nodded, "How's the admissions?" ”

"The first phase of 2,000 people has been fully recruited, and the second phase is also underway,"

"How many Chinese players are there?"

“80%，”

"What about tuition?"

"150,000 a year,"

"What!" Li Guo was speechless.

Li Guo remembered that he once talked to Gao Lin, and Gao Lin told himself that Gao Lin almost gave up football because of a lack of 10,000 yuan in tuition, but fortunately, Gao Lin's father persevered, and there is today's international Gao Lin.

Manager Ma continued: "In fact, even if it is 150,000 a year, the club will still lose money in the first 5 years, Coach Li You know, football is a sport that burns money, our coaches are all invited from Europe, and the annual salary is hundreds of thousands of euros." ”

Li Guo also knows that the business model of European clubs is to train players to sell to make money, while Asian players cannot sell for money for the time being, so high tuition fees are inevitable.

"Manager Ma, do you know Messi's story?"

This is known to everyone in the football circle, and the story of Barcelona signing Messi on a napkin is already a good story in the football circle.

Manager Ma is very smart, he knows what Li Guo means, "Director Li, maybe you think Messi's story is beautiful, Barcelona not only doesn't want him money, but also pays for him to treat his illness, but ......"

"Manager Ma, maybe you laugh at me naivety in your heart, but what I want to say is that football should not be a rich man's sport, 150,000 a year, how many Chinese Messi are blocked from this threshold."

Li Guo knows that the tuition fee of this school may be considered medium, and the youth training schools of some clubs in China are about 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a year, but with some other expenses, it will cost about 100,000 yuan.

Money!

It is the biggest threshold for many talented Chinese players to embark on the road of football.

Manager Ma just laughed, he didn't know how to answer, after all, these were far beyond his ability.

"Manager Ma, do you think this is okay, set up a scholarship in my name to sponsor 20 talented players a year."

Manager Ma smiled, "Director Li, to be honest, I admire you for being like this, but to be honest, it's a drop in the bucket." ”

Li Guo was also happy, "A glass of water is also water, I am willing, you go back and think about it." ”

"Okay."

The most important thing to do was to give a speech in front of all the young players, Li talked about his dream of football, and also talked about the difficulties on the road to football.

"Do you know Deisler in Germany?"

Many people shook their heads,

Li Guo continued: "Deisler, whose full name is Sebastian Deisler, was a twin star in German football back then, and Deisler and Ballack were considered twin stars, and even Deisler was a little more famous than Ballack,"

"But in the end, Deisler lost to depression and retired at the age of 26,"

Speaking of this, the atmosphere became a little dull, and Li Guo continued: "I guess, what attracted you to play football? Xiangche beauty? A life in the limelight? In fact, I tell you, most of the life of a football player is boring training, training day after day, football is not easy. ”

"So I want to tell you that to play for your dreams, to play for your true love, I remember former Czech star Nedved saying that he couldn't wait to step on the turf every day when he opened his eyes, and if you have that desire in the future, then you will succeed."

The presentation was followed by a Korean translation as usual, followed by a Q&A session.

A slightly chubby young player in the front row took the lead in asking, "Hello Coach Li, what I want to ask is that Asian football powerhouses have their own styles, for example, Japan has learned from Brazil, South Korea has learned from the Netherlands, so what style do you think we should be in China." ”

"Wow, I can't see that you are a little fat man, but your thinking is very sharp, and you have the potential to be a leader."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Li Guo said: "Germany, I hope that Chinese football will eventually be as strong as Germany." ”

The next question, "Coach Li, I don't really like football, but my dad is a fan, he wants me to be a professional player, do you think I should be honest with my dad?" ”

The scene laughed even more.

Li Guo replied with a smile: "You can try to persevere, if you are really not suitable for football, then you can consider becoming a coach like me, and finally become a coach, which can be regarded as management." ”

The little players applauded, the event also came to an end, after the event Li Guo declined the invitation of Manager Ma to dinner, left alone, just out of the school gate, someone bumped into him, Li Guo was just about to say: "You don't have long eyes," but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.
