All along, the Chinese men's football team has become the object of criticism by fans due to its poor record. Moreover, male football players often make negative news, which also makes the outside world question the professionalism of this group of players. However, there are also some players whose professionalism is unquestionable. Recently, in an exclusive interview with brazilian media, Luo Guofu, an active international footballer and a naturalized player of Chinese national football, said that in order to maintain his best state, he had quit drinking for a year, which was commendable.
Lo Guofu said that at that time, he was still playing for Brazilian side Catarinenense, and since he had not scored in 15 consecutive games in the previous season, the following year Luo Guofu decided to become angry and made a vow to quit alcohol, which finally helped him start the peak of his career.
"I made a promise: I wouldn't drink for a year, when I just wanted to focus on football. I quit not only wine, but also beer. The following year, my year in Katarinense was fantastic. I scored 15 goals all season, but unfortunately the team lost the cup final. Luo Guofu said.
However, quitting alcohol does not mean that Luo Guofu thinks alcohol is bad. He admits that it is still a relatively difficult thing to quit drinking: "Beer is a good thing, man, you can't drink too much, but beer is really good." I swore that I was going to quit drinking, but hey, that's why I went to St. Paul later, and I never talked about it because it didn't sound cool, but it was true. Quitting alcohol made me feel relaxed, and I lost weight as a result. ”
In theory, alcohol is indeed a "big taboo" for professional players, and there are many players in football history who have ruined their careers because of alcoholism. However, the vast majority of players are still willing to have a few drinks in their leisure time, but people like Luo Guofu who are willing to quit drinking directly are really rare, which is probably one of the reasons why Luo Guofu has been able to maintain a high level of competition for so many years.
