Chapter 435: The Process Is More Important Than the Outcome
The embassy is an imitation of Hui architecture, with white walls and black tiles, and of course the materials are all modern materials. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After dividing the rooms and the players rested, Li Guo found Counselor Feng, "Counselor, is the security in Islamabad really bad?" ”
"Rawalpindi's side is a little bit closer, but it's still good here."
"Then why send so many soldiers."
"Maybe it's magnificent," Counselor Feng smiled.
"It's really Pakistan."
Counselor Feng nodded, "If it is an ordinary Chinese tourist walking on the streets of Islamabad, soon a local person will come forward and ask for a group photo. ”
"Why?"
"Spread the Internet to show off."
Hehe, Li Guo feels that this place is like China 30 years ago, the cars on the streets are in tatters, I heard that all of them are second-hand cars imported from China, in this country, there are very few new cars, except for government units.
"By the way, let's be serious, counselor, how will the game be played the day after tomorrow?"
Counselor Feng was stunned, are you the head coach or am I the head coach, and you still asked me about the game.
"Director Li, this is a substitute."
"Hehe, you misunderstood, I mean, if the Chinese team is serious about playing, then even the substitute lineup can play a double-digit scoreline, will it be too ugly? But if you play match-fixing, will it make the opponent look down on them again, so I'm quite embarrassed. ”
Counselor Feng understood, thought about it and said: "It's better to play seriously, the gap between them and Chinese football is obvious, it's normal to lose more, but it's not normal to lose less, but just don't arch the fire." ”
Li Guo nodded, "Then I understand." ”
*****
The climate in the Indian subcontinent is very hot, with temperatures reaching as high as 50 degrees Celsius in Islamabad in June and now in the 20s in November, which is perfect for football matches.
The stadium in Islamabad was full, but only men were allowed to watch the game, women were not allowed to come to watch the game, Pakistan is an Islamic country.
The on-site broadcast specially introduced that they had participated in the World Cup in Brazil when talking about Ji Ke and Li Weifeng, and before the game, the other party actually knew that China's big names had not arrived, and the Chinese team's explanation was that European clubs did not let go, and the Pakistani irons also expressed their understanding.
Football in this country is basically amateurish, and playing with such a team is like the first leg of the World Cup qualifiers, not to mention, theoretically, the Chinese team is still likely to meet this team in the World Cup qualifiers in Russia.
Three minutes into the game, Liao Lisheng pierced the Pakistani goal with a curling ball outside the penalty area, and the Chinese team led 1-0.
Interestingly, after taking the lead, the Pakistanis cheered for the Chinese team, and Li Guo thought to himself that the counselor's words were right, in fact, they didn't care about winning or losing, but they cared a lot about the process.
Li Guo has been standing on the side of the field, this is the characteristic of the Chinese team, Li Guo is the flag of the Chinese team, seeing Li Guo, fans feel that the ticket money for this game is worth it.
The commentary on the scene was very exciting, just like the Chinese fans in the 90s when they saw AC Milan visiting, although the players were not the main players, they were still very excited.
"The Chinese team, a few months ago they were in the World Cup, they played against Spain and Brazil, and now they are standing in Islamabad, I ...... I couldn't speak, this used to be only in dreams. ”
At the end of the first half, the Chinese team had a 4-0 lead, there seemed to be no Pakistani fans at the scene, everyone was Chinese fans, and every time the Chinese team scored a goal, there was a cheer, no boos.
At halftime, the players ran back to the players' tunnel one after another, although it was a friendly match, but there was a circle of military police on the sidelines, and the security level was very high.
I saw a little Pakistani boy wearing a newspaper, and then looked closely, there happened to be a five-star red flag on the newspaper, it is estimated that this is a local sports newspaper, probably reporting on the Chinese team's World Cup match, and the five-star red flag happened to be in that position, the little boy ingeniously turned the newspaper into a Chinese team jersey.
In this poor country, many people can't afford to buy a genuine jersey, Li Guo was very moved after seeing it, he walked to a military policeman next to him, and pointed to the little boy, "Can you do me a favor and take him and his father to the locker room of the Chinese team?" ”
Although he was a little embarrassed, Li Guo was the most important guest in Pakistan, and no matter how difficult it was, the bearded military police nodded, "Please wait a minute." ”
A few minutes later, the door of the Chinese team's locker room opened, and a cute little boy appeared in front of the player, even more cute was his clothes, a jersey made of newspaper.
Geng Chong could see at a glance that it should be the report after the Chinese team's victory over the Brazilian team, and he asked: "Did you make this dress yourself?" ”
The little boy was shy and said in English, "My sister did it." ”
"Are you a fan of the Chinese team?"
The little boy stopped talking, perhaps he didn't understand what the fans meant, and he stared at a soccer ball on the ground, as if he wanted it.
Geng Chong picked it up and walked to the little boy, "Give it to you." ”
The little boy put his hands behind his back, and did not take them, and at last his father had said a few words to him, and then he immediately smiled, this is the best gift, the gift of dreams.
Li Guo squatted down and touched the little boy's head, "I'll give you a jersey, will you grow up and play football in the future?" ”
"I'm already playing."
"Really? Where? ”
"My living room."
Everyone laughed as soon as this remark came out, Islamabad's infrastructure is poor, and playing professional football is a distant dream.
Li Guo signed his name on the jersey and handed it to the little boy, "The kind of football I am talking about is on the pitch and wearing jersey and combat boots." ”
The little boy didn't seem to understand, but he nodded firmly, "Okay, I'll do it when I grow up." ”
In the second half of the game, Li Guo changed a few people, the field was still one-sided, the Chinese team scored 4 more goals, and finally won the opponent with a total score of 8-0.
After the game, the players on both sides were very friendly and exchanged jerseys with each other, Counselor Feng's hanging heart finally landed, and the national football team successfully completed the task, Li Guo proposed to the counselor, "We have railway cooperation, military cooperation, and economic cooperation with Pakistan, why is there no cooperation in football?" ”
Counselor Feng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was a very good idea, how could he not think of it before.
"Director Li has a good idea, I'll go back and study this."
Li Guo nodded and smiled slightly, maybe there will be a Pakistani version of the Jianlibao plan soon. (To be continued.) )
