Chapter 624 Embarrassment and Arrogance

Akinfeev.

The Russian national team is also a representative figure of Russian football in the past 10 years. Among the goalkeepers under 1 meters tall, Akinfeev and Iker Casillas are considered to be the two strongest.

After Kahn retired that year, Bayern's Rummenigge wanted to introduce Akinfeev, but Hoeness didn't like Akinfeev. He resolutely waited for Schalke 04 to let Neuer, and finally it was nothing.

When Akinfeev appeared at the press conference, everyone's eyes naturally focused on him. It is no exaggeration to say that whether Russia can go further, Akinfeev's performance is crucial.

"This is definitely the last time I will represent Russia in an international competition. Of course I hope to go further, but the Chinese team is not so easy to play," Akinfeev said.

"Did the Russian Football Association hold a retirement ceremony for you?"

"No, I don't want that, I have a few more years at the club, so I don't think about retiring now."

The next question was from a Chinese reporter. Perhaps because of his character, the Chinese reporter asked a very friendly question.

"If you were to rank goalkeepers in the World Cup, where do you think you would be ranked?"

Akinfeev smiled, "I don't know, but it's an interesting question, can I ask your head coach."

Everyone looked at Li Guo, as if they were waiting for Li Guo to accept the move, Li Guo was not afraid, he stretched out his right hand.

"I think Neuer comes first, do you have any comments?"

The people below responded to Li Guo with applause and had no objection.

"Buffon is second."

There was still a round of applause.

"De Gea is third."

The applause was still there, but obviously a lot smaller. Obviously there was a disagreement, because some people thought that Courtois of Belgium should be the third.

Of course, Li Guo would not bother about this, and continued: "Akinfeev is fourth."

As soon as this remark came out, Akinfeev himself was the first to laugh. He felt that Li Guo was really flattering himself.

"No, no, I'm not joking with you. I think a goalkeeper is not only technical, but more importantly, quality. A goalkeeper should be the leader of the defense. This is why I chose Akinfeev."

Li Guo's explanation left them speechless. In terms of leadership qualities, besides Buffon and Neuer, Akinfeev is really the only one in the World Cup.

At this time Capello smiled, he knew what Li Guo meant by praising Akinfeev, but it was just a tricky way, he had seen this kind of trick a lot, and he couldn't be fooled.

So Capello said: "Actually, Wang Dalei is also pretty good."

"Yes!" The Russian reporter in the audience agreed, and Li Guo shrugged, "On behalf of Da Lei, thank you."

After the relaxation, the sharp British reporters came. As we all know, the British reporters are the most professional and sharpest, and they often make the head coach unable to step down.

Capello doesn't like the British, but he has no choice but to endure it.

"If Russia is eliminated, will you resign? In other words, will the Russians drive you away?"

Pfft, Li Guo laughed in his heart, as expected, British journalists never let people down, and this time is no different.

Capello's face was black, as ugly as he wanted, "Let me tell me this."

The British reporter interrupted: "Just answer yes or no directly."

Akinfeev couldn't stand it anymore, and Capello signaled him not to intervene. The atmosphere at the scene was a bit cold. After a pause for tens of seconds, Capello said, "Yes, if the team is eliminated, I will resign."

In the tens of seconds just now, Capello thought a lot in his mind, and finally he was straightforward, because he had worked in England before, and he knew very well that British journalists would not save face.

The British reporter seemed satisfied with Capello's answer. As the host, the next few questions were equally stressful, but the well-informed Capello answered the reporter's questions one by one.

It was Li Guo's turn, and the first question was the aggressive British reporter just now. Li Guo was very curious about how he would ask himself this time.

"How much bonus do you get if you win Russia?"

Capello clenched his fist secretly, why!When it's my turn, I get fired, and when it's Li Guo's turn, I get a bonus. Is there such a thing in the world?

There was rustling laughter at the scene, this guy didn't know whether it was on purpose or not, Li Guo pretended not to hear the laughter.

"There is no bonus because reaching the quarter-finals is my lowest goal."

"May I ask another question then?" asked the British reporter.

Li Guo said yes.

"You just ranked the goalkeepers who participated in the World Cup. I think it is very interesting. Then I would like to ask, can you rank the head coaches who participated in the World Cup."

As soon as this remark came out, the laughter on the scene grew louder. It all depended on how Li Guo responded. In order to show that he was a gentleman, the British reporter finally said: "Of course, this is an additional question I asked, and you don't have to answer it at all."

"I can answer!"

"Loew in the German team, I think it's good, and the head coach of Croatia, I think it's good too."

Then Li Guo pointed to Capello, "Of course Fabio must be better than me."

Capello kept a dark face and said nothing. Now he suspects that this British guy might know Li Guo.

"What about yourself?"

"Sorry, this is your third question. Although I like you very much, I have to reject you. There are other reporters behind."

The British reporter smiled and sat down obediently. The Russian reporter couldn't sit still. The two guys sang together, and they were simply humiliating Capello. It doesn't matter to humiliate Capello, but he is now the head coach of Russia. As the host, of course the Russian reporter will not bear it.

A Russian reporter stood up, "Li Guo, I know you are usually arrogant, but don't forget that Russia is a fighting nation."

"So what? Beat me up?"

"you!!"

"I'm arrogant not because I fight people on the street, but because I can win on the court."

The Russian reporters have heard that Li Guo is satirizing the Russian football hooligans, and it is indeed something that shames Russia.

The Russian reporters were all holding their breath. Although Li Guo's arrogance made them very uncomfortable, this was not a street PK after all. Unless they could fight back on the court, they could only hold their breath. This is football.

Just like when Dortmund met the arch-enemy Schalke, the fans would hold up the sign of the Bundesliga champion with the words "can only be seen, not touched" to ridicule that Schalke has never won the Bundesliga champion, and Schalke fans can only grit their teeth, but there is nothing they can do.

In any case, Li Guo still showed his edge at the last moment, and did not carry out his character preservation to the end.
