Chapter 554 Two Super Events
As of November 18, all 32 teams have been promoted to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Like the escaped Pampas Eagles Argentina, in the European region, the Portuguese and French teams, which were also in danger, finally won the tickets to the World Cup in South Africa by relying on the team's big stars and rich competition experience!
Such a result made countless fans breathe a sigh of relief.
C-Ronaldo and Messi almost got the tickets to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, which also means that Kaka, Juan-Mata, Messi and C-Ronaldo, the new generation of football [Four Heavenly Kings] today, can finally compete with the highest palace of football honor in the World Cup!
Otherwise, if there is a lack of superstars in the World Cup, is it still the World Cup?
What makes fans look forward to is that due to the success of the Argentine team, they can finally see the young and crazy figure on the side of the World Cup!
Almost everyone agrees that in this crazy football era, if there is no arrogant man on the edge of the highest level of competition in the football world, it will also be an irreparable regret!
............ At the end of the national team's game, Argentina announced its dissolution the day after the victory over Uruguay. The five major leagues are getting fiercer. Most of the stars of the Blue and White Legion are the ace stars of their respective clubs. They need to return to the club's 'King of Qin' as soon as possible!
And Li Tongfan stayed in Buenos Aires for the time being.
The Argentine Football Association has prepared a celebration party for the team's smooth escape. At that time, the reception will be attended by people with great face in world football. The members of the coaching staff of the whole Argentine team are regarded as the team's contribution to the team's promotion to the World Cup, and they are all invited!
Lao Li disdained to attend such an event.
However, considering that Li Bing, the assistant coach who has been following him, may need such an opportunity to expand his network, and there is another thing in his plan that needs the support of Grondona, a powerful snake, Lao Li finally decided to stay!
... The party is scheduled for the third night after the game.
It's night, and the night is cool.
The beauty of Buenos Aires is fully displayed in the night!
It is not only the capital of Argentina, but also the largest city in the southern hemisphere. Moreover, it was the only South American city to carry out the torch relay at the 2008 Yanjing Olympic Games.
In Spanish, Buenos Aires means 'very fresh air'.
And this scenic grassland city is indeed worthy of such a name. There is little pollution, and the greening is very reasonable. The fresh air in the city is like fresh milk. When there is no clouds at night, the starry sky is prosperous and mysterious. The whole sky is as blue as a wash, which is very beautiful!
The reception will be held at the largest and most luxurious 'Grasland Star' hotel in the city center.
When Li Tongfan and Li Bing arrived, there had long been a lot of people here. Reporters from major newspapers in Argentina and abroad surrounded the door of the hotel tightly. The security guards pulled out the guest passage with a yellow cord, and the bright red carpet was spread from the door of the hotel to the parking lot... The whole situation was forced. The Ska award ceremony will be grand!
As the star of the reception, Li Tongfan attracted the attention of the crowd before he came out of the car. The first to react was the reporters. They rushed over with a camera and microphone like soldiers who heard the charge... "Mr. Li, madman, do you think Can Argentina win the World Cup?
"Can Tvez get the main position?"
"Why do you insist on not recruiting Gabriel Heinze into the national team? Is it because of personal resentment?
"I heard that you and the Argentine Football Association only signed a short-term contract that ended after the World Cup. Is this true? Have you considered renewing the contract?
"Mr. Li, a madman..."
The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
Facing the crazy crowd, Li Tongfan waved his hand with a smile and did not answer any questions.
The two private bodyguards who had been following Lao Li immediately got out of the car and separated the turbulent crowd. At this time, the hotel security guard also quickly ran over to block the reporter. In the constantly flashing magnesium lights, Li Tongfan and Li Bing stepped on the red carpet and walked to the hotel lobby... In addition to the reporter, at the door of the hotel, Hundreds of Argentine fans have also gathered. They have long heard that the madman Li will appear. The Argentine fans have been waiting hard to see the magical leader who saved the Blue and White Legion and the time of danger... Cheers and screams came one after another.
He walked to the ordinary Li Tongfan. After seeing the fans, he stopped and waved his hand. Another crazy Argentine female fan pushed away the security guard and crossed the yellow line. Fortunately, he got the signature of the madman Li!
The scene seems to be chaotic again... At the door of the hotel, the security guard bowed respectfully and opened the door of the hotel.
Li Tongfan and Li Bing entered the lobby one after another. At this moment, a luxurious atmosphere rushed to them.
Compared with the outside, it is a completely different world.
Golden and brilliant chandeliers and simple and elegant decorations, quiet atmosphere, melodious and soothing music... All this makes this spacious hotel lobby look more like a magnificent medieval palace... On the dance floor, there are already many men and women in luxury dresses hugging and dancing. The whole hall Inside, well-dressed men and women, holding glasses high, walking back and forth, meeting acquaintances from time to time, greeting each other gracefully, and raising glasses frequently!
On the small stage in the distance, several old musicians with gray hair, hats and plaid suits were intoxicated by the music they created with their eyes closed. Some people bulged their cheeks and blew the melodious saxophone, and some people held the accordion... The waiter in black uniform raised the tray and elegantly Shuttle through the crowd.
This is the largest and most luxurious reception that Li Tongfan has ever seen.
Soon, a waiter came from one side, whispered a few words in Lao Li's ear, and then led Li Tongfan and Li Bing through the crowd all the way to the right side of the whole lobby... This is a small seating area. Lao Li saw Julio Glondona, the initiator of the banquet.
Grondona, who is 78 years old this year, has gray hair.
Since he became the president of the Argentine Football Association in 1979, he has been in this position until now. Grondona not only founded the Arsenal Club with his brother, but also, in addition to being the president of the Argentine Football Association, he is also the first executive vice president of FIFA and the most important left of Blatter. Right arm!
Even if Li Tongfan's understanding of South American football is not clear, he still clearly knows what kind of energy this gray-haired and kind-faced old man has in this land. Take a simple example - according to the statistics of the FM2010 system, in the past 37 years Although countless politicians and celebrities want to bring him down, this seemingly kind-looking old man has successfully escaped from more than 40 doping incidents, 8 player strikes and 3 referee strikes... Objectively speaking, he is the omnipotent local emperor of South American football. Authentic heroic figure.
"Oh, dear Li, you're finally here. We've been talking about you just now..."
Seeing Li Tongfan following the waiter, Glondona, who was talking happily with the people around him, put down the glass in his hand, laughed, stood up and hugged Lao Li enthusiastically... Then, he shook hands to greet Li Bing behind Li Tongfan.
"Dear Li, let me introduce you..."
Grondona turned around to introduce the people around him.
Those who are qualified to sit next to Glondona are all famous men in South American football. In addition to several officials of the Argentine Football Association, Lao Li also saw in the crowd the generation of players Maradona, who left the position of coach of the Argentine team due to a car accident some time ago, and Maradola's predecessor Alfio Basile..." Hey, Li, you did a good job. I want to thank you for everything you have done for the Argentine team..."
Although he was replaced by Lao Li in the national team, Maradona seemed to have a good feeling for Li Tongfan. He hugged Lao Li enthusiastically and patted Li Tongfan on the back a few times... "Thank you for your praise, Diego, I'm easy, but your injury..."
"Oh, you said this?" Maradona pointed to his right calf and said with a smile, "I'm still in plaster. The doctor said that I shouldn't come to such a place and suggested that I should quit drinking... Damn it, how is this possible, haha..."
Maradona smiled proudly. Like a child who successfully skipped class, he suddenly whispered in Li Tongfan's ear, "Actually, I stole it today."
Old Li was stunned.
The king of the ball took two glasses of wine from the plate of the waiter beside him, handed one to Lao Li, touched the glass hard, and laughed and said, "Li, everything you have done for Argentina has won the friendship of Diego Maradona. We drank this cup!"
In the face of this world-known king, Li Tongfan's heart was full of respect. He did not refuse at all and exhausted the golden ** in the cup: "This is my honor, Diego!"
Grondona has been smiling at Maradona and greeting the madman Li, and then continues to introduce the heavyweight guests around him to Li Tongfan.
And every time Li Tongfan knew someone, he immediately introduced Li Bing to these newly acquaintances... Seeing that the madman Li seemed to attach great importance to his assistant coach, these South American football celebrities suddenly paid attention to Li Bing... After a long time.
Grondona took Li Tongfan to the center of the dance floor, motioned the musician to pause, then raised his glass high, smiled and introduced loudly: "Ladies, gentlemen, I am honored to introduce tonight's star - Mr. Li, a madman!!"
There was warm applause in the hall.
Li Tongfan was a little distracted.
I don't know why, at this moment, Li Tongfan found that he liked the applause from the stands in the game more. Although it was different from the elegance and fragrance at this moment, the applause was mixed with stinky sweat and the boos of the enemy, which was so messy... "Li, you should say something..."
Grondona patted Li Tongfan's shoulder and squeezed his eyes.
"Oh... so... I'm glad to meet you all!"
Li Tongfan raised his glass high... However, there was a dull expression in his expression.
Nevertheless, the applause sounded with great enthusiasm.
"Li, I know what you're thinking... Don't worry, enjoy this cocktail party specially prepared for you first..."
Grondona's eyes reveal a kind of 'obscene' that men can understand.
The old man turned away with a smile.
Li Tongfan soon understood what Glondona meant - the crowd in the reception was like a swarm of bees that found the source of honey, and the tide rushed towards him. In addition to some men with economic purposes, those beautiful women with elegant postures frequently raised their glasses to discharge to Lao Li... "Hey, Li I'm Melina. Can I buy you a drink?
A beautiful woman in a red evening dress stopped in front of Lao Li with a smile on her face. Her delicate body leaned on the edge of the wine table. The white waves were turbulent, and her flame-like red lips were seductive. Between the smiles, she exuded the charm of a mature woman... Li Tongfan frowned.
He vaguely remembered that this woman's large photo appeared on the streets of Buenos Aires very frequently. It seemed to be the winner of the latest Miss Argentina, but... Of course, Li Tongfan knew what this woman was thinking.
Such things have happened too many times in the football world.
Lao Li shook his head blankly: "Sorry, it seems that I can't..."
The beauty was stunned.
Seeing a man who was dizzy as soon as she saw her, she imagined a thousand ways to communicate with a madman like the madman Li, but the other party's cold reaction was completely beyond her expectation... through the elegant crowd.
Li Tongfan has been walking to the seating area.
He is not interested in such a cocktail party at all. The hall is full of rotten atmosphere, which is suffocating. He doesn't want to continue to waste time without doubt and walk straight to the periphery... At this moment... "Hey, Li, I saw what happened just now. You are a decent man... Introduce yourself. I'm Karachi, the host of Buenos Aires TV. Can we talk about it? I want to..."
Another beautiful woman appeared in front of her with a glass of wine.
"Sorry!"
Li Tongfan didn't mean to stay at all. He didn't even look at the beautiful woman in a turquoise backless dress in front of him, and walked around directly... "Well, I think you should change your opinion of him now?"
On the seat in the distance.
In the dim light, a figure who has been carefully observing the madman Li's performance on the dance floor. After seeing this scene continuously, he quietly lowered the hat he had been wearing on his head, turned his head and whispered to Glondona beside him, "I said a long time ago, Julio, this is for a madman. Li doesn't play any role at all. In the past four years, whether in Spain or England, this madman has never had any gossip... I still insist on the previous view: such a person, don't try to control him again, because it's impossible... Doesn't he want to establish a football school in Argentina? As long as there is a common interest, you can always be an ally..."
"Well, maybe you're right!"
Grondona sighed.
Then, he got up and met Li Tongfan who came. The expression on his face changed very quickly, and he was full of enthusiasm in an instant: "Oh, now it seems that, dear Li, you are really a very special person..."
Li Tongfan knows what the old man is talking about. But he is not in the mood to continue to entangle on this topic. He clinked glasses with Grondone. Old Li smiled and said, "Hulio, I think, I think you should have time to talk about my plan. You know, these are all in the original coaching contract. Written..."
"No problem!"
Grondona agreed very simply this time.
After coming to the seating area with Lao Li and sitting down, the old godfather of South American football pointed to the figure with a hat just now and solemnly introduced to Lao Li: "Li, this is my personal consultant, Ms. Bilegos. From today on, you will get all the help you need from Ms. Bilegos. I hope we can cooperate happily!"
The figure took off her hat and turned out to be a beautiful girl under the age of 30. A long fiery red hair, slightly curly, and the skin is delicate like milk, and when I smile, my eyes shine charmingly... "It's nice to meet you, Li. I will represent President Glondona and the Argentine Football Association to help you complete the next work. I hope we can do it in the next plan. Happy cooperation!"
The red-haired beauty stretched out her hand and said with a smile.
"It's a great honor to cooperate with such a beautiful lady like you." Li Tongfan gently shook the hand of Piligos.
"Haha..." Glondorna raised his glass with a smile: "It turns out that the crazy Li will also please the beautiful lady... I think we will be able to cooperate happily!"
Dingle!
The three wine glasses gently touched each other.
............The day after the reception, Li Tongfan flew back to England.
And Li Bing still stayed in Argentina.
With the name of the madman Assistant Coach Li, he did meet a lot of 'friends' in the reception that day. The two major clubs, River Plate and Boca, enthusiastically invited Li Bing to visit the team. This is a great opportunity for Li Bing, who has been frantically absorbing coaching knowledge and experience. He has no reason to refuse. Jee!
... Back to England, Li Tongfan's focus temporarily returned to Newcastle.
By this time, the two generals who were injured and absent before, Owen and Ronaldo, had returned from their injuries, which greatly reduced the pressure on Newcastle coach Rijkard.
Magpie played a make-up match in the Premier League after the end of the national team's game. Relying on the bravery of the aliens, it finally defeated Black Cat Sunderland 2-1 away. The Magpie Corps was able to continue to lead the Premier League table with a 2-point advantage... And thanks to the support of Li Tongfan, the chairman of the club, [mixed Blood Bucket] Nicholas Gigi once became the team's main striker during the absence of Owen and Ronaldo, and Andy Carroll was banned from the team. The 4-5-1 new tactical formation made him like a fish in water, scoring 6 goals in four games!
Relying on these 6 goals, Gigi's total number of goals in the league this season has reached a staggering 14, ranking fourth in the scorer list, winning unanimous praise from the European media, and defeating young people such as Pato and Balotelly, successfully winning the first place in his career. Honor Trophy - 2009 European Golden Boy Award!
Of course, not everyone is doing well - Andy Carroll, the new generation of powerful center blocked by Newcastle, is still training in the reserve team. In the meantime, he also got the opportunity to play the reserve team with the reserve team and performed very well!
This strong teenager has been waiting silently.
Waiting for forgiveness from the madman Li.
... In a blink of an eye, more than a month of time passed by.
In the midst of the unique hustle and bustle of the football world in 2009, it finally finished its last day. In 2010, the door of the 09-10 winter transfer market also opened.
In addition to the Premier League, the teams in other leagues have entered a short winter break. The opening of the transfer market is a rare opportunity for the teams in the five major leagues to fill in the gaps. Each team is waving a hoe to dig other people's corners!
The whole long January is the season of excitement for the media and fans.
However, in January 2010, it was a little special, especially for the majority of Chinese fans. There were two major events. On the first day of the New Year, it attracted everyone's attention almost at once!
And these two things are about Li, the craziest head coach in world football!
The first major event is the personal affairs of the madman Li.
On the last day of 2009, the madman Li announced to the world through his personal microblog that he would hold a wedding after the New Year and officially marry his girlfriend Wang Qinghe, whom he had been in love with for many years.
This incident has attracted the attention of countless media and fans.
In the world of European football, no matter what it is, as long as it has something to do with the word crazy Li, it will become the most newsworthy event!
For traditional Chinese fans, this means that the princess and the prince have finally come together. Li, the idol madman they have been adoring crazily, facing the crazy football circle, did not let them down in the end. Whether it is personal life style or coaching results, this group of people's idols are step by step. Perfect personal image!
The only disappointment is probably those female fans who are crazy about crazy Li.
The news of the crazy Li's wedding means that the beautiful story of Cinderella in their hearts will never come true!
"He is only 26 years old. Why did he get married so early?"
This post, published by a sad and tearful female fan on the most authoritative forum in China, has become a venting place for female fans with the same mood. In just two days, the number of replies has exceeded 100,000... The wedding venue is set in China.
The reason is that Li Ying and He Feng are not used to the fashionable things such as holding weddings in churches. They beat gongs and drums and eight-lifted sedan chairs, which are more suitable for their appetite... Although the specific time has not been announced to the public, countless European media have heard the news and came to China in advance and waited. Mastering the first-hand information about the madman Li's marriage... And another thing may be nothing for Europeans, but for Chinese fans, the influence far exceeds the wedding event - madman Li announced that he will cooperate with the Argentine Football Association to start a The crazy Li Football School, which has a scale of 300 people, will have 50 Chinese teenagers of all ages under the age of 15 who will be given the opportunity to go to the football school to study and receive training for free!
This selection will take half a year, and the whole process will be completed by Crazy Li's personal team. It will be selected for all school-age teenagers, with no restrictions on hard surnames!
