Chapter 1032 Old friend, new coach and idol

Latest website:

If you ask which team is most similar to Qatar today, it must be Spain around 2010.

When the ‘Asbeir Plan’ began to take shape, it was when Spanish football was in full swing. At that time, the technical director of the Asbeir Youth Academy was Felix Sanchez from Spain.

Since then, Qatar Football Youth Training has unswervingly embarked on the road to Spain.

More than ten years have passed, and Sanchez has led the team from the first wave of children, U15, U17, U21, to the current head coach of the national team. The style of the Spanish national team has long since changed, but Qatar has always adhered to tradition and is more Spanish than Spain.

Sanchez had several short-lived mediocre coaching experiences in La Liga and La Liga in his early days. If he is still somewhat famous, his fame comes more from the good results he achieved after coaching the Qatar National Youth Team.

But since he was from that era, Sanchez must be a staunch supporter of the Spanish technical school in southern Europe. He and his team instilled this style into the Asbel youth training center.

A piece of white paper is easy to draw on, and a football picked up from a baby can be returned to Spain after more than ten years to make it look like the real thing.

During the four-year peak period from 2008 to 2012, the Spanish national team made the spectators as drunk as dogs with their smooth passing and cutting, but in essence their tactics were defensive counterattacks masked by pure technical flow.

Of course, it is definitely not a show of force. Spain controls the ball at its feet and does not give its opponents a chance to attack. Through its super ball control ability in the midfield and backcourt, coupled with a few super powerful wingers, it has defeated all opponents.

In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Spain only conceded two goals during the entire tournament. Especially after entering the knockout rounds, they did not concede a single goal and scored one goal in every game. They were able to defeat the Chinese team's flood of goals and conceded many goals. Too much stuff to be ashamed of.

In this way, it is very easy to understand why Qatar has been able to win the Asian Cup so far, because they are Asia's Spain.

·

Sanchez is not yet a famous coach, so the most eye-catching person on the Qatar coaching bench is his temporary assistant coach, former Barcelona captain Xavi.

After winning the Triple Crown in 2015, Xavi left Barcelona and came to Qatar to join Al Sadd Club. It has been more than three years.

You can tell from his appearance that Harvey will definitely become a coach after he retires. With that paralyzed face, not being a coach would be a waste of talent. In fact, after coming to Qatar, in his spare time from playing football, Xavi spent time in the Asbeir Youth Academy and learned how to be a coach from Sanchez.

It is true that Qatar is a country, but its area is just a city, which is slightly larger than half the size of BJ. So don’t misunderstand that Harvey plays football in Guangzhou in the morning and flies to Harbin for school in the afternoon. In fact, it is the distance between the city and the suburbs.

Over the past few years, Harvey and Sanchez's relationship was so good that they were able to organize the Canton Fair. After Sanchez took over as coach of the national team two years ago, Xavi would adhere to the principle of talking less and watching more when he was free, sitting next to him as a guest assistant. The excitement of this Asian Cup will be no exception.

Card United, which finished this season in May, has already completed three games, and has already agreed to take over Al Sadd's coaching job by then. The transformation of life cannot be said to be gorgeous, but it can be considered smooth.

.

"Hi Harvey, long time no see."

"Hi, Big Devil."

The two old teammates greeted each other with solid hugs.

Both Zhuoyang and Xavi have many nicknames, but neither of them has a fixed and long-term one. 'Big Devil' is the title that Zhuoyang gave to him when he was in La Liga, especially Barcelona. It has not been called that much in recent years. At this time, Haha Wei's name is more like nostalgia and intimacy.

Harvey has nicknames such as "Bean", "Facial Paralysis Emperor", "Curly Hair", and "Old Pinch", but they are not as popular as Little White, Little Bu, Xiaojie, and not many people call him, so Zhuoyang calls him directly. .

‘Xavi’ is his nickname. Xavi’s real name is Javier Hernandez Creus, so Zhuo Yang is definitely not called him by birth.

In the past, the relationship between Zhuoyang and Harvey in Barcelona was average. There were no conflicts but they were not as far apart as Sakura House. The main reason is that the two people's personalities are incompatible. Harvey is not used to Zhuoyang's self-promotion and does not like his change in the dull atmosphere of the locker room.

In particular, the beating of Rafael Marcos subverted people like Harvey's understanding of traditional locker room culture. In other words, Zhuoyang crossed the line and seriously violated something inherent in Barcelona.

So Harvey stayed away from Zhuo Yang during those two years. Later, Zhuo Yang switched to Real Madrid, and he was actually very relieved.

Zhuo Yang knew these subtle things in his heart, and Harvey knew that he knew them in his heart, but there had never been any conflicts, and after so many years, there was no reason to be at odds with each other unless they were not two men.

When meeting an old friend in a foreign land, sometimes all that is left is intimacy.

"When will you go back to coach Barcelona?"

"Are you coming back? I'll come back immediately if you do. Let me have the experience of coaching a big devil."

"Hahaha~~"

The two chatted incessantly, and Zhuo Yang completely didn't notice Sanchez, who stretched out his hand for a long time next to Harvey and his smile was a little stiff. Zhuoyang didn't know Sanchez, and he didn't even realize that people were waiting to say hello to him in the passage.

Harvey is a careful person. He noticed Sanchez's embarrassment and hurriedly introduced him to Zhuoyang, so Zhuoyang promptly said, "I've admired him for a long time, the weather today is hahaha" to resolve his carelessness.

Moez Ali, who is not yet 23 years old, sees all this and finds it very interesting.

Ali is from Sudan. He was 'trafficked' at the age of 8 and entered the Asbair Youth Academy in Qatar. Now he is the head boy of Qatar.

In the top 12 of the Asian preliminaries for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Qatar and the Chinese team were divided into Group A. Qatar, which lost hope of qualifying in 2017, fired Uruguay coach Fossati, and Sanchez took over and led the team through the last two rounds.

As an emperor and a courtier, after taking office, Sanchez immediately removed old naturalized players such as Sebastian Quintana, Rodrigo Tabata, and Luis Ceara from the original team, and replaced Moez ·Ali, Afef and other Asbair cronies were promoted to the national team.

In the last round of the top 12, the Chinese team in Group A played against Qatar. The Chinese team won 3:1 in the away game. Ali started and played the entire game, but Zhuoyang did not play that time and did not go to Qatar at all.

Ali is the Villa of Qatar. He regards Zhuoyang as his idol, but this does not hinder Burning's ambition to surpass Zhuoyang in the number of goals.

In the predicted ranking of top scorers before the game, Zhuo Yang was undoubtedly at the top of the list. Son Heung-min, Osako Yuya, Azmoun, Mabkhout, and Ali were not even ranked in the top five.

But at the end of the group stage, Ali scored an astonishing 7 goals, while Zhuo Yang only scored 3. To say that Ali had no idea at that time, unless he was not a man.

In previous years, 7 goals would surely win the Golden Boot. Eight years ago, Zhuo Yang only had 7 goals, and Mabkhout, who was the top scorer four years ago, only had 5 goals.

With Zhuoyang appearing, Ali didn't think that 7 goals would be stable this year, but 10 would be almost enough, right? It shouldn't be too difficult to get 3 more.

But immediately after the 1/8 China-Korea battle, Zhuoyang scored six goals, which made Ali fall into admiration. Today, when he is face to face with his idol, Zhuoyang has already scored more than 15 goals in the World Cup. He sighed: God is God. , the needle master is supreme and God is supreme.

Ali did not score again in 1/8 and 1/4. It was only in the 4-0 victory over the United Arab Emirates in the semi-finals that he scored a new goal, raising the number of goals to 8.

Under Zhuoyang and Ali, the figures of Osako Yuya, Azmoun and Mabkhout who scored 4 goals are gone.

In today's game, Ali has absolutely no intention of overtaking Zhuo Yang in terms of goals scored. He believes in God but knows very well that he is not a god. Alli just wanted to score goals, show his presence in front of his idol, and then exchange jerseys.

That's all. Children who come from a miserable background are down-to-earth and never forget their roots.

Seeing that the greeting between Zhuoyang and his head coach Sanchez was about to end, Ali took the opportunity to come up and extend his hand.

"Mr. Zhuo Yang..."

Before it was born, the referee Irmatov and his team came first, and they shook hands and chatted.

Finally, when it came to an end, Ali saw the opportunity and leaned forward again to extend his hand.

"Mr. Zhuo Yang..."

Unexpectedly, when Irmatov said, "Let's go," Zhuo Yang turned his back and directly ordered: "Let's go -"

"promise!"

Moez Ali was awkwardly standing in the passage with his hands stretched out. If there was another cardboard box under his feet, he would be a beggar who took advantage of others.
