Lo Guofu began by describing his current situation in Brazil. He said, "I'm in good shape and have been waiting for an offer from China with my agent for a few months after the China-Vietnam game, but unfortunately.

As for why he missed the final two rounds of the 12-team tournament, Luo Guofu explained, "In the end, I didn't go to the national team because I didn't train systematically, while the other teammates practiced, and I couldn't say that I'd go and play for 15 minutes, delaying the team's training and the game, so it would be better to tell them ahead of time that I couldn't play, so that someone who was in better condition could play."

The team's goal was to win the game, and Luo Guofu expressed his own views. He said: "We have to change our own positioning, to find the confidence of the strong, rather than facing a strong team to go through the motions, barely draw on the line, soccer is not like this, the soccer field does not have an absolute strong and weak, we go on the field is to think about winning Japan, to have such thinking and ideas, every game to face the mindset of winning the game, rather than put themselves in a very low position! . Our set of players in Sharon is much higher than the national team, because in the national team, we are just working very hard on defense all over the field, but we need to do well on offense, and we need to play both offense and defense in order to get a good result."

Regarding one's willingness to continue to work for

Lok Kwok Fu scored his first goal back in the Barclays Premier League.
On the evening of May 21, local time, Beijing time 22 morning in the seventh round of the Brazilian Primera Division soccer league, Minero Americas hosted the veteran team Botafogo, and the two sides ended up with a 1-1 draw. In the 37th minute of the match, Luo Guofu, a naturalized international footballer of our team who plays for Minero Americas, opened the first record for our team after cooperating with his teammates, which is also the first official goal he scored after returning to Brazilian working football.
Prior to this round, Botafogo and Minero Americas were in 10th and 11th place in the Barclays Premier League standings. As a result, Minero Americas is looking forward to utilizing the home field advantage to defeat their opponents and enter the top half of the league. Luo Guofu, a naturalized international footballer from China who plays for Minero Americas, made his debut in the match, which is also his third debut in the Barclays Premier League and the Copa Libertadores in a row. As the saying goes, "It doesn't happen three times", Luo Guofu opened his goal scoring account in this game.
In the 37th minute of the match, Minero Americano launched an attack from the backfield. After receiving the ball on the right side of the penalty area, Luo Guofu tried to work with his teammates, but the ball was touched by an opponent's defender and then bounced to the feet of Luo Guofu, who had already entered the penalty area, and he calmly scored the ball into the goal.
The referee initially ruled that the ball was offside, but with the help of VAR, the referee saw that the ball touched the opponent's defender before Lok Kwok Foo took the ball, and thus the goal was finally ruled valid. After confirming the goal, Luo Guofu immediately ran to the bench to celebrate his first official goal in the Barclays Premier League with his teammates and coaches.
