The World Cup in South Africa is in full swing.

[Blue and White] The training of the Argentine team has not slackened at all.

The match against the Greek team made many people who originally thought that victory would be easily within their grasp, and that even lifting the glittering Hercules Cup was just a matter of time, clearly realized that in this life-and-death cruel elimination competition Among them, nothing is 100% certain. Even if the coach of the Blue and White Army is the invincible Madman Li, if he is not careful, the team may capsize at any time!

The Greek team used a tight defensive counterattack for 45 minutes, which could make the Argentine team with a 4-forward formation helpless. So, what about other stronger teams? Like Germany, England, or Spain?

The counterattack efficiency of these teams is much better than that of the Greek team!

…

Training at ABSA Tuks Stadium.

The sky is blue, white clouds are blooming, and the weather is very good.

The Argentina team is undergoing its daily afternoon workout. There was a fierce competition between the first team and the young team under 21 years old. Li Tongfan asked the players to practice the 4-4-2 "crossing from the left and right wings and grabbing points in the middle" tactics in the confrontation training!

This tactic has been rarely practiced by the Blue and White Army before.

However, after the battle with the Greek team, I believe that many teams are now ready to use the iron barrel formation to deal with the somewhat terrifying Argentina team - if nothing else, at least in the 16th to 8th games, Mexico The team has made it clear that it will strengthen the team's defense...

Li Tongfan thought about it again and again, and finally decided to let the team get familiar with the wing cross tactic of flying together from both wings!

At least this way, once the Mexican team launched a "shameless" iron barrel formation in the quarter-finals, the Argentine team responded with a simple and rough play of skilled two-wingers. You must know that the Mexican team's goalkeeper and The defenders are not as tall as the Greek team!

"...Pass the ball!!"

"Beautiful, this way, pass it again..."

boom!

"That's a nice shot. You can go down and have a rest. Next group, let's go..."

On the field.

Under the auspices of the coaches, the match went very smoothly. The atmosphere in the team seemed to be maintained very well. Three consecutive wins made the Hammers' morale high!

Li Tongfan stood quietly on the side of the training ground.

His mood improved slightly.

It has been almost two days since the game against the Greek team ended today, and as time goes by, the effect of using FM-MM to forcibly improve the players' physical strength and morale has long since disappeared...

The good news is that although FM-MM no longer functions, the players' physical strength has slowly begun to recover. According to the response of the FM2010 system, it has gradually increased from about 80% to about 87%. According to this As the recovery continues, by the quarter-finals with Mexico on July 1st, I might be able to recover to about 95% of my condition!

The bad news is that this recovery speed is still far behind the normal speed.

According to the previous experience of FM2010 in judging the recovery speed of players' physical strength after the game, the players' physical strength, even after experiencing a fierce battle, will return to 100% within four days at the latest!

The current state of the Argentina team is not like this!

Even with such a slow recovery speed, Li Tongfan is not completely sure that he can guarantee that this recovery speed will not fluctuate repeatedly before July 2. Once things happen again, it will be more than 20 points by then. [Character Points] are consumed. What’s more serious is that if some abnormal system tasks are triggered and FM-MM is useless, it will be even worse!

If the worst thing expected happened, a disastrous defeat would be inevitable.

As for the reason for such a strange phenomenon in the team, Li Tongfan slowly pondered and observed in the past few days, and he had some guesses in his mind... However, if this reason is really revealed, it is really not a small matter. Moreover, it was enough to make him angry!

the other side.

Assistant coach Li Bing has been observing Li Tongfan's expression these days.

He had done a lot of homework during this period, and was almost certain that he had found the real reason for the abnormal situation of the team. However, after finding out the truth, he had been hesitant whether he should tell Li Tongfan...

Even though Li Tongfan was laughing and having fun with the players these days and seemed confident, Li Bing observed carefully and could catch the fleeting look of worry in Li Tongfan's expression from time to time, especially at this moment. , saw Li Tongfan once again standing on the sidelines of the training ground, lost in thought...

Li Bing, who had basically figured out Li Tongfan's temperament, certainly understood what he was thinking. At this moment, Li Bing suddenly felt that he should no longer have any reservations. Maybe he should tell Li Tongfan his findings earlier. For Argentina's next The fate of the team will be better!

The training ended after two hours.

After that, the players and coaches each had a two-hour break, and then all gathered in the conference center to watch live broadcasts of other games in progress... In between these two-hour periods, most players and staff chose Go back to your room to rest and take a shower!

Li Bing took advantage of this free time to knock on the door and come to Li Tongfan's room.

When Li Bing opened the door and came in, he felt something flashing white in front of his eyes, and was startled... At this moment, he heard Li Tongfan's slightly annoyed voice, vaguely coming from the bathroom. He came out and said: "What damn hammer is knocking on the door at this time, causing me to jump out naked and open the door for you?"

Li Bing couldn't help but laugh.

Through the blurred bathroom glass and steaming water, he saw Li Tongfan hurriedly washing away the foam on his body. It turned out that the white thing just now was the naked body of madman Li... Li Bing clicked his tongue and shook his head. What if it was just now? Taken with a mobile phone, it is estimated that such a photo can be sold for at least four to five million euros. The media and magazines must still be rushing to get it...

Soon, Li Tongfan rubbed his wet hair and poked his head out, and found that it was Li Bing. He stuck out his tongue and said, "It turns out to be Lao Li. Do you want to see me for anything?"

Li Bing sat on the green plastic chair in the living room, took out a Blue Hibiscus King and lit it for himself, blew out a smoke ring, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you can talk after you take a shower!"

Li Tongfan was not polite and retracted his head and went back to the bathroom to take a bath.

Soon, Li Bing wanted to give himself a slap in the face.

Because he found that Li Tongfan was taking a leisurely bath in the bathroom, acting lewdly and narcissistically, and whistling happily. He had no intention of coming out in a hurry... If he had known it, he should have let this kid wipe it clean just now. Talk about business.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Li Tongfan finished cleaning up and came out of the bathroom.

Seeing Li Bing looking at her with strange eyes, the bitch smiled lustfully and shamelessly wiped a handful of Dabao on her hairy calves: "I love bathing the most, my skin is so good..."

Li Bing spat and suddenly fainted on the carpet.

"Lao Li, why are you looking for me? You're not just here to see me take a shower, are you?"

Li Bing started to spit again. He raised his head with difficulty to prevent himself from spitting out: "Xiao Li, do you think the players' physical condition is a bit strange recently?"

Li Tongfan was smiling at first, but when he heard Li Bing mention this, his expression became serious. He nodded: "You think so too? This matter is really a bit evil, and those Argentine team doctors can't detect it. For this reason, the team’s training load is not very heavy, but..."

Li Tongfan blew his head with a hair dryer. As soon as he spoke, there was an unconcealable depression on his face. After close contact with Li Bing during this period, the relationship between the two has become very close. Li Tongfan found that although this tall and handsome man was not from the north, he had a strong sense of chivalry from Yan and Zhao, and he valued love and righteousness. A very good friend, therefore, in front of Li Bing, Li Tongfan was very open-minded and no longer pretended to be crazy Li, just like a junior.

There was a trace of hesitation on Li Bing's face, but it quickly passed away and he asked straight to the point: "Xiao Li, have you discovered the reason?"

"You know?" Li Tongfan's heart skipped a beat.

Li Bing was ready to risk his life at this time. He sorted out his thoughts and then said: "Xiao Li, do you remember that one year before the World Cup officially started, considering that the team's main competition venues were all around 1,800 meters above sea level? , the Argentine Football Association even spent 6 million euros to start building a stadium in Buenos Aires that simulates plateau venue conditions to help European players adapt to plateau venues..."

"I know that, just keep talking." Li Tongfan nodded.

"The simulation data provided by the Argentine Football Association at that time were very consistent with the conditions of major venues in South Africa. The venue was officially opened in May this year, and the team just conducted a week-long emergency training in the venue, and the results were very good. , among the 32 players in the preliminary squad, no one was unwell, and you repeatedly praised the players for their good physical fitness..."

Li Tongfan's expression changed: "Not bad!"

"But, now it seems that the situation seems a little wrong... I think the players' recent relapse is related to altitude sickness." Li Bing thought for a while and continued: "South Africa is in winter now, and the temperature difference between day and night is almost It's over 30 degrees. Players who play in such climate conditions are prone to respiratory diseases. This is why Aguero and Perotti developed cold symptoms..."

Li Tongfan said thoughtfully: "Continue."

Li Bing's thinking became clearer and clearer: "In addition, South Africa has sufficient sunshine hours and strong ultraviolet rays, which are more than twice as high as most areas in Europe. It is easy to cause sports injuries and aggravate players' mental fatigue... …Of course, what I want to say is that these are not the main reasons. In my opinion, the most important crux of the problem is altitude sickness. In other words, maybe the one-week period we did in Argentina The adaptive training has no effect at all, and the players are still suffering from altitude sickness!”

Li Tongfan's eyebrows knitted together. This was what he had suspected during this period of time.

Seeing Li Tongfan's silence, Li Bing thought he didn't believe it and continued to analyze: "The so-called adaptive training has been prepared by all countries. France and Italy have set up warm-up training camps at high altitudes, and South Korea and Japan have also built high-tech training camps. Simulated stadium... Although their investment is pitiful compared to the Argentine Football Association, the results achieved are much better than ours... During this period of time, I specially sent the football team to study the other 31 balls. Due to the team's training conditions, their players also inevitably suffered from altitude sickness, but in comparison, the situation they encountered was definitely not as serious as ours..."

Having said this, Li Bing took out a few documents from the folder he carried with him: "I asked a few new friends I met in Argentina to survey new data from that simulation hall. Look, the facts show that A 6 million-dollar facility that claims to be the world’s most advanced simulated altitude sickness facility is simply not up to standard..."

Li Tongfan did not read the data that Li Bing received.

His expression suddenly calmed down at this moment.

"MLGBD, it seems that I really didn't accuse these bastards unjustly..."

In fact, Li Tongfan also noticed what Li Bing said during this time.

It's just that he didn't spend so much effort to verify these things, and he didn't want to.

The matter is almost obvious. Things within the team have been a bit strange recently. The three team doctors are always hesitant when facing problems, and several coaches are really trying to turn a blind eye. Could they even deal with such a simple altitude sickness? Can’t even see the phenomenon? Really can't find the reason why the players are tired?

no!

As veterans, they already knew it, but they just didn't want to say it.

However, Li Tongfan is a freak. Although he has never lost since his debut, he is known as the undefeated myth. Moreover, under the training of FM2010, he has a lot of tactical knowledge and practice... However, other than all training and tactics Common sense stuff is sadly lacking.

As for the assistant coach who was supposed to give Li Tongfan some reminders and help, Li Bing was also a newcomer and noticed it a little late.

Therefore, this led to such a simple and typical phenomenon of altitude sickness, which made Lao Li not find the right direction at the beginning, but instead thought about many more complicated possibilities... In other words, because at the beginning, out of the concern for the team, Due to the trust of the old coach and team doctor, Li Tongfan didn’t think in that direction at all...

It wasn't until he finally discovered that the players were tired that Li Tongfan realized that something was wrong. The team doctor named Dexter was so hesitant and looked wrong when reporting the results of the player's examination. Then, Li Tongfan took a closer look. , and then I quietly realized that it seemed that the entire Argentine coaching staff was deliberately hiding something from themselves...

Once Li Tongfan discovered these signs, based on his understanding of the Argentine Football Association, what he could think of next was much more than what Li Bing knew!

The reason is simple——

Japan and South Korea only spent more than 2 million euros to build simulated plateau environment venues. Why did Argentina, whose terrain is slightly higher than Japan and South Korea, spend 6 million euros? And the Argentine team's week-long training in this high-tech stadium built with 6 million euros and known as the world's first, is actually not as good as France and Italy climbing up a high slope to warm up casually?

As long as these issues are related to the current situation of the team and the current situation of the Argentinian Football Federation, a thoughtful person will be able to discover the fishiness in it after just thinking about it——

Obviously, the Argentine Football Association, headed by Grondona, once again habitually intercepted and embezzled at least 4 million euros in the construction of the so-called 6 million euro stadium, and because the stadium started more than a year ago, the incident Construction, the profit distribution has been distributed long ago. Among the three coaches before and after, it is estimated that only Basile, the first, was considered for sharing the spoils. The two latecomers, Maradona and Li Tongfan, did not know The whole story, this is why the coaches and team doctors of the original class, even if they knew the truth of the matter, were not willing to explain it clearly to Li Tongfan...

MLGBD!

For people like Grondona, they are not as eager for the World Cup as they claim to be. Every football event is a harvest season for them. As long as they can fill their pockets, even if The team eventually lost to South Africa, and with the head coach as the scapegoat, who will do to the Football Association?

Li Tongfan started to gnash his teeth again.

I have heard some familiar European friends say before that Grondona dominates the sky in South America. Although South American football is full of talents, its darkness is even worse than that of the Chinese Football Association. Like this, it devours the Football Association. In the past thirty years, Grondona has done a lot about public property... This is why Maradona, the frank and frank football champion, has never been able to piss in the same pot as Grondona. The reason!

These were all conjectures that Li Tong and Fan Qian had made before.

But now, Li Bing has produced solid evidence, and there is no need to doubt anything anymore, because there is no doubt that speculation is now free riding on the facts.

Li Bing was waiting for Li Tongfan's reaction.

After a moment of silence, Li Tongfan lit the information compiled by Li Bing one by one with a lighter...

"You and I know these things, so let's stop here. We can't worry about things other than football. Even if the Argentine Football Association sells the whole of Argentina, it has nothing to do with you and me..." Li Tongfan burned the last page of paper and said to Li Bing.

Li Bing nodded, thinking about it, and nodded, saying: "Li, this matter is indeed not something we can solve... The good news is that through the previous three games and the training during this period, the players have gradually adapted to the altitude reaction in South Africa. I believe that in the next period of time, their physical strength will recover faster and will not recur. Even Perotti, who is thin and has been playing in Spain, is now much better... However, these guys in the coaching staff are really hateful. They want to keep us all in the dark. , it's really too hard to let them go..."

"Let them go? Who said to let them go?"

A fierce color flashed in Li Tongfan's eyes, and he suddenly laughed murderously: "These grandsons have sacrificed the interests of the team and kept it from me for so many days, and they have caused me to sleep poorly and eat poorly these days, and they have wasted so much of my character... Hehe, sorry, you still want to follow me to get honors, how can it be so cheap?"

Li Bing was shocked by the sinister look that Li Tongfan suddenly revealed.

He saw the other side of Crazy Li, the side of the devil.
