There is a dream called football

Li Qiao knew that it might be impolite to ask questions on the training ground. After all, the time of these stars is precious, but this time Li Qiao felt like something was stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out.

"I've already passed you, why can you guess that I can spike the ball?"

Cassie smiled and said: "If I guess correctly, you learned this trick from watching TV."

Li Qiao nodded.

"In the 1994 World Cup, I watched the live broadcast when Baggio passed Zubizarreta and scored in Spain." Cassie said, "That kind of ball is really beautiful. Raul and Baggio can do it, but you

If you can't do it right now, I bet your ball must be too big, and your only option is to pull the ball back in front of the baseline."

"Isn't it possible for me to just shoot?"

Cassie shook her head and smiled: "Impossible, you don't have such ability yet."

Li Qiao nodded.

Cassie threw the ball and the training continued.

At the end of the 20-minute training, Cassie took a bottle of water and chatted with Juan without any airs of a big-name person.

Li Qiao struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally decided to step forward and ask. There were many things he didn't want to say, and he was unhappy.

"Igor, I still can't figure out that ball."

Cassie signaled not to ask anymore, but smiled and said: "You don't need to think about it. Do you want to hear some advice?"

Li Qiao nodded.

But he didn't expect that Cassie's next words struck Li Qiao like a thunderbolt.

"If possible, don't stay at Real Madrid. Find a place where you can play football. You are very talented, but you need game experience. Unfortunately, this is exactly what Real Madrid cannot give you."

Seeing that Li Qiao was as motionless as a stone sculpture, Cassie patted Li Qiao and said, "Did I scare you?"

"No."

"Haha, this is what I'm saying, but it's up to you whether you listen or not."

"Thank you, Igor."

What Li Qiao didn't know was that while he was talking to Cassie, a middle-aged man with a big belly was watching him in the dark and writing something in a small book from time to time.

"That's him. I must take him away from Real Madrid."

*****

Training in Madrid is boring, but there is also time to go out for a walk. After all, whether they stay or leave, these young people must get to know the city, because the club relies on the city, and the city leaves a deep imprint on the club.

.

For example, Germany's Schalke 04 was born in the Ruhr area, Germany's most important industrial area. Most of their fans are miners and blue-collar workers, and the Schalke team also has this temperament.

Walking on the streets of Madrid, Li Qiao and Raven felt that everything was new and different from other cities in China.

It's not that developed, and there aren't that many high-rise buildings, but the historical buildings are well protected, and it's like traveling through the corridors of time.

Suddenly, a Porsche drove by slowly. Li Qiao and Raven got out of the way, but the car stopped beside Li Qiao.

The car window rolled down, and a slightly bloated middle-aged man smiled at Li Qiao, "You are from China, right? Can you make friends?"

Lei Wen immediately became alert, "If we are idiots, we must have bad intentions. Li Qiao told him that we know Chinese Kung Fu."

Li Qiao and Lei Wen stretched out their hands and performed a move similar to Bruce Lee's in "Way of the Dragon".

"We know kung fu, but we only need money and our lives."

sweat.

The middle-aged uncle didn't expect these two people to be so defensive, so he got out of the car and walked over and handed over two business cards.

"Hello, I'm a part-time scout from Porto Club. My name is Sosa Correa. I've been watching your training these days. Can you find a place to chat? I'll treat you."

"Porto?" Li Qiao looked at the business card, and the words "Black Shop" appeared in his mind.

When it comes to Porto, the title of European black shop is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, because this club is famous for its excellent youth training and powerful scouting system. They can always buy some talented diamonds at a low price and then polish them for a few years. Finally, it was resold for ten times or even dozens of times the price.

It is said that the Porto branch has as many as 200 to 300 scouts around the world. With so many people, it is certainly impossible for the club to support them all full-time. Many of them work part-time, such as the one in front of you, the Portuguese Sousa Correa. , his main business is to open a restaurant, and scouting is his side business.

This is very common in Europe. Ferguson opened a bar before his debut, Mendes opened a nightclub, and Sacchi also worked as a salesman.

This may also be the culture of European football, football is life.

Went to a small restaurant, ordered two drinks, and Souza began to introduce himself in detail.

Raven had heard of Porto, which was a very good club in Portugal, but the middle-aged greasy man in front of him didn't look like someone from the football circle.

In fact, Sosa's target is Li Qiao. He said to Li Qiao: "Come to Porto. Starting from the youth team, there will definitely be a place for you. Jose is a coach with a discerning eye. I want to say that maybe you will be there next season." I can join the first team.”

Judging from the familiarity with which he plays, it is probably not the first time he has come to Spain to recruit people. There is a saying that "Made in Spain supplies Europe". If you look at the European football map later, you will know how many young talents trained by Barcelona and Real Madrid are in the top five. The league shines brightly.

Li Qiao smiled and said, "Can I call you Sousa?"

"Of course, you can also call me Fatty."

puff.

hehe.

"If I'm not wrong, you come to Spain often to recruit people."

Sosa also said, "This is not a secret at all. Football is originally a pyramid structure. Those who are the most lucky are the ones who stay in Real Madrid. Others also need to play football, and I am responsible for letting them have the ball to play."

What he said was high-sounding, and he was worthy of being a scout from a black shop.

Li Qiao laughed in his heart, "Since you are so direct, there is no need for me to be secretive. You also know the situation very well. We have not been eliminated yet, so I will not consider your invitation for the time being."

Sosa spread his hands and said, "It's nothing. I just provide you with another way. My phone number is on the business card. If you need it, call me anytime. Porto's door is open for you."

"Thank you." Li Qiao was about to pay, but Sousa held down Li Qiao's hand and said, "Hey, I agreed to treat you."

On the way back, Raven said: "Li Qiao, what do you think about this matter?"

Li Qiao asked, "I want to hear your opinion first."

"I don't think it's reliable. Even if I can't be selected, I still want to stay in Spain and play football."

Li Qiao smiled and said nothing, but remembered Cassie's advice to him. If possible, don't stay in Real Madrid and find a place where you can play football.

Li Qiao stuffed Sosa's business card into his pocket and patted it gently. This was a good alternative.
