There is a dream called football

During the intermission, the masseur was giving Li Qiao a massage. In the picture, there was some transparent, mint-scented ointment.

"Does it hurt?"

"Painful and happy."

This is what a massage feels like, especially when the physical therapists are very professional and their massages go deep into the muscles.

"Your body is already very tired."

After becoming a professional player, Li Qiao realized the hard work of players.

It was the Asian Cup the year before last, the World Youth Championship last year, the World Cup today, the Asian Cup next year, and the Olympics the year after that.

It is almost impossible for Li Qiao to rest for a season unless he does not participate in the national team competition, but that is impossible.

"I can't help it, there are too many games."

"But you still have to pay attention, after all, the body is your own."

"Thank you, I understand."

Wenger is of course a little worried about this situation. He doesn't want to see overtime in the end. It is best to resolve the battle in 90 minutes. Of course, it may be resolved by the opponent.

"Our set-piece tactics must change in the second half."

"Bring out the set-piece tactics in training."

"yes!"

Wenger nodded.

"You also need to not give your opponents too many long-range shooting opportunities in front of the penalty area, especially Nedvěd."

"Um."

"And Vieira, he also has a kick in front of the penalty area."

When Capello was arranging tactics, there was a lot of noise outside the door.

"I am not a troublemaker. I am already 65. I have watched Juventus football all my life. Now is the most difficult time for the team. I want to say a few words to them."

Capello opened the dressing room door.

"What's going on?"

I saw two security guards in green coats trying to escort an old man away.

"Nothing, just a troublemaking fan."

"I am not a fan who makes trouble. I have watched Juventus games all my life. I want to tell the children that I believe the club does not engage in match-fixing."

"Shut up, we can throw you to the police."

"Wait a minute."

Capello walked over and said, "Let him go. He is so old, what kind of threat can he still have?"

"good."

"Thank you, Fabio."

"Have you really watched Juventus football all your life?"

"Yes."

"In 1976, we won the UEFA Cup. Who was the head coach at that time?"

"Haha, this is too simple, Trapattoni."

"sure."

Capello also laughed. To be honest, he had forgotten it.

"When will Juventus win their 20th Serie A title?"

"Let me think."

"By the way, it's 1984."

"How do you remember it so clearly?"

"Because a year later, in 1985, we defeated Liverpool and won the Champions League for the first time. I saw that game."

"Hahaha, you are great."

Capello waved his hand and signaled the security guard to leave, "Let's go and meet the players with me."

This is a piece of living club history.

"Who is the greatest defender in Juventus history?"

The old man thought for a while.

"Gatanosirea."

"Where's the midfield?"

"Kid, are you sure you want to ask such a stupid question?"

"Of course it's Platini."

"Oh, how could I forget this?"

It's a wonderful feeling for these young people to see a living piece of club history standing in front of them.

"When did we move to the Alpi Stadium?"

"1990 was the year of the World Cup. Children, don't you learn history?"

"I was only 5 years old at that time and didn't understand anything at all."

"Hahaha."

The players had a great time chatting with the old man, and they also remembered a lot of things from their childhood. In fact, we were all football fans when we were young, and our father took us to watch the game, but many of the memories were blurred, but when we were chatting with the old man, we were all fans.

During the process, many things came to mind.

"So, kids, what I want to tell you is that Juventus is a team with a great history. We will not match-fix. A team that does match-fixing cannot win so many games."

"That bastard Moji must have done it himself. Maybe he contacted the referee, but that is his own business and has nothing to do with the club."

In fact, the players are not easy to talk about this. Moggi used to be a member of the club's board of directors. This... It stands to reason that he represents the club. Of course, it may be that he makes his own decisions. In the eyes of Juventus fans, the club is

The team has nothing to do with the top management. This is Juventus in Italy, so they are particularly angry and feel that the top management of the club has failed them.

"What I want to tell you is that we fans will always love the players and the club. After driving away those moths, we will still be the overlord of Italy."

"Thank you." Ibrahimovic immediately took off his jersey and handed it to the old man.

"Let's all sign the old gentleman's name."

"OK."

Finally, with the jersey and everyone's signatures in hand, the old man left with satisfaction.

In the stands, a silver-haired old man was paying attention to everything. He was Lippi.

From 1994 to 2004, Lippi was the head coach of Juventus for ten years. After leaving the club, he became the head coach of the Italian national team. He came back not for Juventus, but to inspect the national team.

status.

Juventus has many Italian internationals, and whether these internationals can help Italy achieve good results this summer is what Lippi is most worried about. The Calciopoli scandal seems to have inevitably affected the entire Italian football.

Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Buffon, these are all well-known main players of the Italian national team.

In fact, what Lippi is most afraid of is that the players themselves are involved. If it is just the club, then it is okay. Lippi has been coaching in Italy for a long time and has some understanding of the situation of the Football Association. The Italian Football Association does have many problems.

But that's not what he needs to worry about. He has decided to leave the national team after the World Cup, so this is his last time coaching in Italy.

At this moment, the on-site camera lingered on Lippi's body for a long time, as if saying something in a silent language.

"Is the national team okay?"

You must know that the Italian team was eliminated in disgrace last time in South Korea, so the domestic expectations for Lippi this time are quite high.

Li Qiao saw Lippi in the stands and smiled knowingly, because this old man will probably become the head coach of the Chinese team in the future, and I hope we can work together by then.

But at that time, Li Qiao's career was at an advanced stage, but he was still looking forward to it. After all, this is a world-class coach, and you can still learn a lot from working with him.

In the shouts of Juventus, Juventus, the second half is about to begin, and the players on both sides are also ready.
