Chapter 543 Two super big events [6000 words two in one chapter]

As of November 11, all 18 qualified teams for the 32 World Cup in South Africa have been produced.

Like Argentina, the pampas eagles that escaped from the dead, in the European region, Portugal and France, which were also at risk, finally relied on the team's big-name stars and rich experience in major competitions to get tickets for the World Cup in South Africa!
This result made countless fans breathe a sigh of relief.

Both C-Ronaldo and Messi narrowly won the tickets for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, which also means that Kaka, Juan Mata, Messi and C-Ronaldo, the four new generations of today's football [Four Kings], can finally compete in the World Cup, the highest hall of football honor!
Otherwise, if the World Cup lacks superstars, is it still a World Cup?
What the fans are looking forward to even more is that due to the success of the Argentine team, they can finally see that young and crazy figure on the sidelines of the World Cup!

Almost everyone agreed that in this crazy era of football, it would be an irreparable pity if that arrogant man was missing on the sidelines of the highest level of competition in the football world!

……

……

The match day of the national team is over, and the Argentine team announced its disbandment on the second day after defeating Uruguay. The fighting in the five major leagues has intensified. Most of the stars of the Nerazzurri are the ace stars of their respective clubs.
Li Tongfan, on the other hand, stayed in Buenos Aires for the time being.

The Argentine Football Association has prepared a celebratory reception for the team's smooth escape. At that time, all the famous figures in world football will be present at the reception. The entire coaching staff of the Argentine team, who are regarded as the contributors to the team's promotion to the World Cup, are all invited!
Lao Li originally disdained to attend such an event.

However, considering that the assistant coach Li Bing who has been by his side may need such an opportunity to expand his network, and that there is another thing in his plan that needs the support of Grondona, a powerful local snake, Lao Li finally decided to stay!
……

The reception time is scheduled for the third night after the game.

It was night, and the night was cool.

The beauty of Buenos Aires is revealed at night!
It is not only the capital of Argentina, but also the largest city in the southern hemisphere. Moreover, during the 2008 BJ Olympics, it was the only city in South America that carried out the torch relay.

In Spanish, Buenos Aires means 'very fresh air'.

And this beautiful prairie city is indeed worthy of such a name. There is very little pollution, and the greening is very reasonable. The air in the city is as fresh as freshly squeezed milk. When the night is cloudless, the starry sky is prosperous, vast and mysterious, and the entire sky is as blue as clean, very beautiful!

The reception will be held at the largest and most luxurious 'Prairie Star' hotel in the city center.

When Li Tongfan and Li Bing arrived, the place was already full of people. Reporters from major newspapers in Argentina and abroad surrounded the entrance of the hotel tightly. The security guards pulled out the guest passageway with yellow cordon. A bright red carpet was spread from the entrance of the hotel to the parking lot...

The whole formation forces the Oscar awards ceremony to be even grander!

As the star of the reception, before Li Tongfan got out of the car, he attracted the attention of the crowd. The first to react were the reporters. Like soldiers who heard the charge, they rushed over with cameras and microphones...

"Crazy Mr. Li, do you think Argentina can win the World Cup?"

"Will Tevez be able to get the main position?"

"Why do you insist on not recruiting Gabriel Heinze to the national team? Is it because of personal grievances?"

"I heard that you and the Argentine Football Association only signed a short-term contract that ends after the World Cup. Is this true? Have you considered renewing the contract?"

"Crazy Mr. Li..."

The scene was momentarily chaotic.

Facing the crazy crowd, Li Tongfan waved his hand with a smile and did not answer any questions.

The two personal bodyguards who had been following Lao Li immediately got out of the car to separate the turbulent crowd. At this time, the hotel security also quickly ran over to stop the reporters. Under the constantly flashing spotlights, Li Tongfan and Li Bing stepped on the red carpet and walked towards the hotel lobby...

In addition to the reporters, hundreds of Argentine fans gathered in front of the hotel. ,

They have long heard that the Argentine fans who have heard that Madman Lee will appear, are waiting hard to get a closer look at this magical coach who saved the Blue and White Army from the time of crisis...

Cheers and screams erupted one after another.

Walking to the ordinary Li Tongfan, after seeing the fans, he stopped and waved again. Another crazy Argentine female fan pushed past the security guard, crossed the yellow line, and was lucky to get the autograph of Madman Li!

The scene seems to be in chaos again...

……

At the entrance of the hotel, the security guard bowed respectfully and opened the hotel door.

Li Tongfan and Li Bing entered the lobby one after the other, and at this moment, a luxurious atmosphere rushed towards them.

Compared with the outside, it is a completely different world.

Resplendent chandeliers and simple and elegant decoration, tranquil atmosphere, melodious and soothing music...All these make this spacious hotel lobby look more like a magnificent medieval palace...

On the dance floor, many men and women in luxurious dresses are embracing and dancing. ,

In the entire hall, well-dressed men and women, holding their wine glasses high, walked back and forth, met acquaintances from time to time, greeted each other gracefully, and toasted frequently!
And on the small stage in the distance, several vicissitudes old musicians with gray hair, top hats, and plaid suits closed their eyes and reveled in the music they created.

Waiters in black uniforms shuttle gracefully through the crowd with trays in hand.

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'er's ear, and then led Li Tongfan and Li Bing through the crowd, all the way to the far right side of the entire lobby...

This is a small seating area, and Lao Li saw the initiator of this banquet——

Julio Grondona.

Grondona, who is 78 years old this year, has gray hair.

Since becoming the chairman of the Argentine Football Association in 1979, he has been sitting in this position until now. Grondona not only founded the Arsenal Club with his younger brother, but also, in addition to being the chairman of the Argentine Football Association, he is also the first executive vice chairman of FIFA and the most important right-hand man of Blatter!

Even though Li Tongfan doesn't have a clear understanding of South American football, he still clearly knows what kind of energy this gray-haired and kind-hearted old man has in this land. Let me give a simple example——

According to the statistics of FM2010 system, in the past 37 years, although countless politicians and celebrity businessmen have tried to bring him down, this kind-looking sixty-year-old man has still successfully escaped from more than 40 doping incidents, 8 player strikes and 3 referee strikes...

Objectively speaking, he is the omnipotent emperor of South American football, and he is an out-and-out hero.

"Oh dear Lee, you're finally here, we've been talking about you just now..."

Seeing Li Tongfan coming with the waiter, Grondona, who was chatting happily with the people around him, put down the wine glass in his hand, laughed, stood up and hugged Lao Li warmly...

Then, he shook hands and greeted Li Bing behind Li Tongfan.

"Dear Li, let me introduce you..."

Grondona turned to introduce the people around him.

Those who are eligible to sit next to Grondona are all famous names in South American football. In addition to a few officials from the Argentine Football Association, Lao Li also saw in the crowd the generation of football champion Maradona who resigned as the coach of the Argentine team due to a car accident some time ago, and Maradora's predecessor Alfio Basile...

"Hey Lee, you did a great job and I want to thank you for everything you do for Argentina..."

Although Lao Li replaced the position of the national team, Maradona seemed to have a good feeling for Li Tongfan. He warmly embraced Lao Li and patted Li Tongfan on the back...

"Thank you for your compliment, 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 wearing a plaster cast. The doctor said I shouldn't come to this kind of place, and advised me to 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 came here secretly today."

Old Li was stunned.

The ball king took two glasses of wine from the waiter's plate, handed one to Lao Li, clinked the glasses vigorously, and laughed loudly: "Li, what you have done for Argentina has won the friendship of Diego Maradona. We drank this glass!"

Facing the world-famous football champion of a generation, Li Tongfan was full of respect. He did not hesitate at all, and drained the golden liquid in the cup: "This is my honor, Diego!"

Grondona kept smiling as he finished greeting Maradona and Madman Li before continuing to introduce the heavyweight guests around him to Li Tongfan.

And every time Li Tongfan met someone, he immediately introduced Li Bing to the newly-acquainted guests... Seeing that the crazy Li seemed to attach great importance to his assistant coach, these South American football stars immediately paid attention to Li Bing...

After half an hour.

Grondona brought Li Tongfan to the middle of the dance floor, signaled the musicians to pause, then raised his glass high, and introduced loudly with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am honored to introduce tonight's star to you—Mr. Madman Li!!"

There was warm applause in the hall.

Li Tongfan was a little distracted.

For some reason, Li Tongfan found that he liked the applause from the stands more during the game. Although it was different from the elegance and fragrant wind at the moment, the applause was mixed with the smelly sweat and boos from the enemy, it was so messy...

"Li, you should say something..."

Grondona patted Li Tongfan's shoulder, who was a little distracted, and winked his eyes.

"Oh... so... nice to meet you all!"

Li Tongfan raised his wine glass high... However, there was a look of numbness in his expression.

Even so, the applause rang out with great enthusiasm.

"Li, I know what you're thinking...don't worry, just enjoy this reception specially prepared for you..."

Grondona's eyes reveal a kind of 'wretchedness' that any man can understand.

The old man turned around and left with a 'thief laughing'.

Li Tongfan quickly understood what Grondona meant——

The crowd at the reception was like a swarm of bees that had found a source of nectar, rushing toward them like a tide. Except for some men with economic goals, those elegant and beautiful beauties frequently toasted to Lao Li...

"Hi Lee, 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 was leaning against the edge of the wine table. Her white waves were turbulent, and her flame-like red lips were alluring. With a slight smile, she exuded the charm of a mature woman...

Li Tongfan frowned.

He vaguely recalled that large photos of this woman appeared frequently on the streets of Buenos Aires, and she seemed to be the winner of the latest Miss Argentina, but...

Of course Li Tongfan knew what this woman was up to.

This kind of thing has happened too many times in the football world.

Lao Li shook his head expressionlessly: "Sorry, it seems that I can't..."

The beauty was stunned.

Seeing too many men who would make her dizzy at the sight of her, she imagined a thousand ways to communicate with a madman like Madman Li, but the other party's cold reaction was completely beyond her expectations...

Through the elegant crowd.

Li Tongfan walked towards the seating area.

He was not interested in such a reception at all. The decayed atmosphere in the hall was suffocating. He didn't want to continue wasting time without any doubts, and walked straight to the periphery...

at this time……

"Hey, Li, I saw what happened just now. You are a gentleman... Let me introduce myself. I am Karachi, the host of Buenos Aires TV. Can we chat? I want to..."

Another beautiful woman appeared in front of her with a wine glass.

"Feel sorry!"

Li Tongfan didn't intend to stop at all. ,

He didn't even take a look at the intellectual beauty in front of him in a dark green backless dress, and walked around directly...

……

"Well, I think now, your opinion of him should change?"

On the far seat.

In the dim light, a figure who had been carefully observing Madman Li's performance on the dance floor, after seeing this scene continuously, quietly lowered the hat he had been wearing all the time, turned his head and whispered to Grondona beside him——

"As I said earlier, Julio, this method has no effect on the madman Li. In the past four years, whether in Spain or England, this madman has never had any scandals...I still stick to my previous opinion: such a person, don't try to control him, because it is impossible... Doesn't he want to build a football school in Argentina? As long as you have common interests, you can always be allies..."

"Well, maybe you're right!"

Grondona sighed.

Then, he got up to meet Li Tongfan who was coming over, the expression on his face changed very quickly, and he was full of enthusiasm in an instant: "Oh, now it seems, dear Li, you are indeed a very special person..."

Li Tongfan knew what the old man was talking about. ,

However, he was no longer interested in this topic, and clinked glasses with Grondona. Lao Li smiled and said, "Julio, I think, I think, you should have time to talk about my plan. You know, these are all written in the original coaching contract..."

"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 hat-wearing figure just now, and solemnly introduced to Lao Li: "Li, this is my personal consultant, Ms. Billie Goss. Starting today, you will get all the help you need from Ms. Billie Goss. I hope we can have a happy cooperation!"

The figure took off the hat, and it turned out to be a beautiful girl under 30 years old.She has long fiery red hair that is slightly curly, and her skin is as delicate as milk, and when she smiles, her eyes are shining charmingly...

"Nice to meet you, Li. On behalf of President Grondona and the Argentine Football Association, I will assist you in the next work. I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the next plan!"

The red-haired beauty held out her hand and said with a smile.

"It's an honor to cooperate with a beautiful lady like you." Li Tongfan gently shook Billie Goss' hand.

"Haha..." Grondona raised his glass with a smile, "It turns out that Crazy Li will also please beautiful ladies... I think we will be able to cooperate very happily!"

Jingle!

The three wine glasses touched together lightly.

……

……

On the second day after the reception, Li Tongfan returned to England by plane.

Li Bing, on the other hand, remained in Argentina.

With the title of Crazy Li's assistant coach, he did meet a lot of "friends" at the reception that day. The two major clubs, River Plate and Boca, warmly invited Li Bing to visit the team. This is a great opportunity for Li Bing, who has been frantically absorbing coaching knowledge and experience, and he has no reason to refuse!
……

Back in England, the focus of Li Tongfan's work has temporarily returned to Newcastle.

By this time, the two generals who had been absent due to injuries before-Owen and Ronaldo had both returned from injury, which greatly relieved the pressure on Newcastle coach Frank Rijkaard.

After the end of the national team match day, the Magpies played a make-up match of the Premier League. Relying on the brave performance of the aliens, they narrowly beat the Black Cats Sunderland 2:1 in the away game. The Magpies continued to lead the Premier League standings with a 2-point advantage...

And because of the support of Li Tongfan, the club chairman, [mixed rice bucket] Nicholas Gigi once became the team's main shooter during the period when Irving and Ronaldo were absent and Andy Carroll was banned from the team. The new 4-5-1 tactical formation made him feel like a fish in water, scoring 4 goals in 6 games!
Relying on these 6 goals, Gigi scored an astonishing 14 league goals this season, ranked 4th in the scorer list, won unanimous praise from the European media, and defeated young talents such as Pato and Balotelli, and successfully won the first honorary trophy of his career——

European Golden Boy Award 2009!
Of course, not everyone's life is going well——

The new generation powerful center Andy Carroll, who was blocked by Newcastle, is still training in the reserve team. During this period, he also got the opportunity to follow the reserve team to play the reserve team game, and he performed very well!

This strong boy has been waiting silently.

Waiting for forgiveness from Crazy Li.

……

In a blink of an eye, more than a month's time passed by.

In the hustle and bustle unique to the football world in 2009, the last day finally came to an end. With the arrival of 2010, the door to the winter transfer market of the 09-10 season also opened.

Except for the Premier League, teams in other leagues have entered a short winter break. The opening of the transfer market is a rare opportunity for all teams in the five major leagues to check for omissions and make up for vacancies. Every team is brandishing a hoe to poach the corners of others!
The entire long month of January is a season of excitement for the media and fans.

However, January of 2010 is a little bit special, especially for Chinese fans, there are two major events, which almost immediately attracted everyone's attention on the first day of the new year!
And these two things are all about the craziest head coach in the world, Madman Li!

The first major matter is the private affairs of Madman Li.

On the last day of 2009, Crazy Li announced to the world through his personal microblog that he would hold a wedding after the New Year and officially married his girlfriend Wang Qinghe who had been in love for many years.

This matter has attracted the attention of countless media and fans.

In the Europa football world, no matter what it is, as long as it has the word "Crazy Li" attached to it, it will become the most newsworthy event!

For the traditional Chinese fans, this means that the princess and the prince have finally come together. The idol they have been crazily adoring, Crazy Li, has not let them down in the face of the luxurious football circle. Whether it is personal life style or coaching performance, this idol of the people is perfecting his personal image step by step!
The only ones who were disappointed were probably those female fans who were crazy about Madman Li.

The news of Crazy Li's big wedding came out, which meant that the beautiful Cinderella story in their hearts would never come true!
"He's only 26 years old, why did he get married so early?"

This sentence was posted by a sad and tearful female fan on the most authoritative forum in China, and became a place for female fans with the same feelings to vent. The number of replies exceeded 10 in just two days...

The wedding venue was set in China.

The reason is that Li Ying and He Feng, two old people, are not quite used to holding weddings in churches. The beating of gongs and drums and the eight-carrying of large sedan chairs are more suitable for their appetite...

Although the specific time has not been announced yet, countless European media have heard the news and come to China in advance, waiting to get first-hand information about Madman Li's marriage...

And another thing, it may not be a big deal for Europeans, but for Chinese fans, the influence is far beyond the wedding event——

Crazy Li announced that in his own name, he will cooperate with the Argentine Football Association to open a 300-person Crazy Li football school in Buenos Aires. There will be 50 Chinese teenagers of all ages under the age of 15, who will have the opportunity to go to the football school to study and receive training for free!

This selection will last half a year, and the whole process will be completed by Crazy Li's personal team. The selection will be for all school-age teenagers, and there will be no hard and fast conditions! ——
Two in one.

I don't know if the computer is poisoned.

When sending a text, I can't always open the background of the starting point.After half a day of tinkering, the network was disconnected and restarted, which worked a little bit, but the speed was still very slow.

There will be a third update.

Around eleven o'clock.
