Chapter 277 Katyusha (National Football Team Story, Daily Transition)

The drawing ceremony ended successfully.

After Putin finished his speech, the solemn atmosphere in the venue dissipated.

The flags of 32 countries appeared on the big screen.

“Katyusha” sounded again.

“The World Cup on the main stage shines brightly under the bright lights.”

“For decades, it seems to have exuded a magical power that has attracted all legendary players.”

“Gao Qi looked at it from afar.”

“Perhaps, this is the closest the two have ever been.”

Lineker couldn’t help but mutter a few words.

The tone is regretful.

This guy keeps saying that his fighting ability as a player was shit, but in fact he was the Golden Boot winner of the 1986 World Cup.

After thinking for a moment.

He shifted his gaze to Ronaldo and Messi.

How many more World Cups can these two no longer young superstars participate in?

Delegations from 32 countries left the venue one after another.

“Katyusha” is gradually coming to an end.

Gao Qi’s vision was shaken by several hands.

He looked up.

They were a few Russian propaganda ambassadors. I can’t remember their names, probably something like Wa, Na, or Ya.

They are all very beautiful, with hot and curvy bodies, a healthy image, and the lines of their hips and legs exude the most primitive vitality.

A Russian girl born in the 80s, she likes sports stars very much.

“Gao, can you sign an autograph for us?”

“of course can.”

Benatia obliged.

Gao Qi smiled politely, without looking around, took the pen and signed the football intently. He is now China’s sports business card to the world and a role model for countless young people.

There was no other communication.

He and the Chinese delegation left quickly.

While walking.

While sending the lottery results to the family in Cheshire.

Lina should be very happy that the Chinese team did not encounter the German team in the group stage. It has nothing to do with the victory or defeat. The German girls’ mentality of watching the game will be very contradictory.
Passage.

The major media have been waiting for a long time.

“Gao, what do you think of the World Cup group results? Do you have the confidence to lead the Chinese team to advance to the knockout stage?”

“do not know.”

“.”

The reporter was a little confused.

There were no ambitious and heroic words, nor were there any rational, objective and calm responses.

Gao Qi really didn’t know.

His answers during interviews were always rigorous.

There is still more than half a year until the World Cup in Russia.

The opponent may change the playing style and lineup configuration, or even change the coach.
There is no way to talk about the promotion situation now.

However, no matter how the opponents change, the situation faced by the Chinese team in the World Cup group stage remains grim.

A Russian reporter suddenly said: “As long as you lead the Chinese team to advance to the group stage, your greatness is self-evident!”

“A feat of leading a team by itself in the World Cup!”

Everyone agreed.

I suddenly thought of two figures.

One is unruly and looks down on the world.

One is regret, regret under the sunset.

What kind of impression will Gao Qi of the Chinese team leave in Russia?
The delegation walked out of the Kremlin’s auditorium.

Snowflakes are falling.

The Russian hosts did a good job of security, and Gao Qi was escorted by armed soldiers all the way.

He suddenly stopped, turned to look at the coaching staff, and said with a smile: “Let’s take a photo here?”

“Yes! This is a historic moment. We are representing Chinese football in the draw ceremony for the 2018 World Cup!”

“Prove that we have been here.” His tone was firm.

Even the chill of the winter night was dispelled a little.

Translator Zhao handed the camera to a soldier.

Everyone quickly took their positions.

Gao Qi was surrounded in the middle.

Click!

The soldier pressed the shutter.

In the snowy Moscow, the Chinese delegation took a solemn group photo.

“Write a few words and print them on the back of the photo.”

Gao Qi took off his gloves, took the pen, gently shook the snow off the cover of the notebook, turned a page, and wrote carefully: December 2017, 12, in the Kremlin.

Assistant Professor Li and others took another car.

Several Russian students stood outside the cordon and raised their hands excitedly!
Chirp, quack.

“What are those guys talking about?”

“I also want to take a photo together, but you’d better not go. This morning, one of our reporters had an argument with a foreigner over the Chinese translation issue in the Kremlin.”

“Isn’t it just called the Kremlin?”

“Our newspapers have been calling it the Kremlin for decades! The international name has also been the same for 686 years.”

The drawing ceremony came to an end.

Chinese fans have different views on the World Cup group results.

Some people are full of confidence.

Some people are worried.

No matter how they argue, they all hope that Gao Qi can lead Chinese football to make history.

The countdown to the opening of the World Cup has begun.

Businesses also began to launch a marketing frenzy.

“Expedition to Russia Package, watch the game live and cheer for Gao Qi! Starting from 8.8 yuan per person!”

“Dahai LCD TV! Save 8.8 and cheer for Gao Qi in the living room!”

“There is a miracle called Gao Qi! Quick-acting heart-saving pills, combined with liver-protecting tablets, will protect your body.”

“World Cup themed pig farm, eating the same food as the national football team, growing a champion physique.”

“The Autobiography of Lippi, Light and Shadow: Gao Qi and Morata” are on sale at reduced prices!”

A variety of colorful slogans have greatly eased people’s expectations and added fun to the World Cup.

In recent years, Gao Qi’s presence has allowed many children to try football and fall in love with it.

The number of registrations continues to rise.

Youth training institutions have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and there are more and more small indoor five-a-side football fields.

Far away Manchester.

Guardiola spent a day in a small dark room.

He is used to analyzing games in a dark, closed, narrow room.

The eyeballs are bloodshot.

The tone was full of doubt and mixed with distress.

Like a student stumped by an exam question.

“How can Gao Qi lead the Chinese team to advance from this group?”

“What technical support can the Manchester City coaching staff provide to the Chinese team?”

“No.”

I have played out countless matches in my mind.

Still no solution has been found at the macro-tactical level.

In competition years, the coaching staffs of both the club and the national team have very close communication with the players. On the one hand, the communication is about tactical “instructions”; on the other hand, the communication is about the players’ physical fitness, status, and training volume.

The assistant coach paced back and forth at the door, without interrupting the Manchester City coach’s thoughts.

long, long ago.

Guardiola also excitedly called the Chinese team coaching staff to discuss the opponent’s weaknesses and suggested how the Chinese team should modify its tactics around Gao Qilai.
result.

After watching several Asian qualifiers, Guardiola no longer provided detailed advice.

The teaching assistant finally couldn’t help it and reminded in a low voice.

“Boss, you should think about giving some advice to Spain. You are Catalan and you are Spanish!”

“Okay, but Spain doesn’t need my advice.”
