There is a dream called football

Lorinda is used to getting up early. She is 18 years old and studying at university in Porto.

She is not busy with studies, so she helps her father manage the restaurant when she has time. She has a character that is strong on the outside but soft on the inside.

She looks cold, even a little fierce, but she is not like that in her heart. She loves her father very much.

"morning."

A greeting came from outside the store.

When I looked up, I saw Li Qiaochen running back.

"Haha, you are really different, you look like a professional player."

"Of course."

Lorinda prepared breakfast for her father and Li Qiao, gave the clerk a few words, then picked up her bag and went to school.

After breakfast, Sosa drove Li Qiao to the Porto Club.

After driving for about half an hour, we arrived at the Porto Gaya Training Center in the suburbs. This is the training center for all levels of the Porto Club.

Porto's echelon system is not as complicated as Real Madrid's. Generally speaking, there are four levels: Porto first team, B team, youth team, and youth B team.

Gaya Training Center is a very modern football training center with a total of 5 lawns, 4 of which are natural lawns. In addition, restaurants, dormitories, etc. are also available.

The doorman at the training center seemed to know Sosa and opened the door as soon as he saw his blue Opel car approaching.

After parking the car, Sosa asked Li Qiao to wait. He wanted to find someone and would be back later.

At this time, in the administrative building not far away, Porto B team head coach Valle and assistant coach Gomez were discussing today's training in the office.

Gomez said: "That guy Sousa will be here today."

"What? Whose Ronaldo does he like again?"

When he said this, Valle's tone was full of joking. There are thousands of people in Europe who want to be in the football field, but most of them are wandering on the edge and will never enter the main entrance in their lives. In Valle's view, it is simply

Sa is such a person.

Gomez shook his head, "I didn't say anything on the phone, I just said that I hope to give you a chance to try out."

Valais sighed, "We can't always play house with him, although the food in his restaurant is quite delicious."

To be honest, as the head coach of the Porto B team, the reason why he accepted the players recommended by Sosa was not because he believed that he had a discerning eye, but because he was soft-spoken. In addition, Sosa is indeed a good person.

Gomez smiled and said: "As usual, just arrange a trial and then refuse. Sosa is a good old man. We don't need to attack him."

"No!"

"No?"

"I think we are hurting him by doing this. Football requires talent. When Sosa was young, he did not have the talent to play football, and now he does not have the talent to be a scout or agent. I think it is better to tell the reality.

he."

"How to say?"

Valais thought for a while and came up with an idea.

"Put the people he brought in cages."

Gomez's heart skipped a beat.

The so-called cage is a training facility in an indoor building the size of half a basketball court, with movable walls all around.

For example, if a ball is kicked out from the ball feeder at 12 o'clock, after catching the ball, a frame will light up at 3 o'clock, but it will only light up for 5 seconds, which means you must be accurate within 5 seconds.

Points are scored by sending the ball into the frame.

Players from Porto's first team and B team like to go to the cage to hone their skills, but this challenge is difficult. If you can kick 5 out of 10 goals, it is considered good.

There has never been a player in Porto Club who has hit all 10 shots. Deco from the first team is the strongest player in cage training. His best score is 9 out of 10.

Gomez is also a good old man. "There is no need to slap Sosa in the face. He is just a person with a football dream. Who in Portugal doesn't have a football dream?"

Valle stood up and walked towards Gomez, putting his hands on his shoulders, "Maybe Sosa will hate us today, but one day he will thank us."

Gomez nodded helplessly. He admitted that Valle's words were right. This is the case in Portugal. Countless people want to be the next Eusebio, but most people's dreams are shattered.

*****

Li Qiao knows a lot about trial training. Generally, you are put into the training squad, you catch the ball and run, and then the assistant coach will feed you the ball one-on-one to test your left and right foot shooting ability. I thought it would be the same this time.

.

But unexpectedly, a middle-aged man named Gomez took him into the indoor building and arrived at a medium-sized room.

The ground is covered with artificial turf, which is obviously an indoor stadium, but looking around, there are no goals, and the field is too small.

At this moment, another person walked in.

Gomez immediately introduced: "This is the head coach of team B, Ilidio Valle, a Portuguese."

Valais stretched out his hand and shook it with Li Qiao.

He had already read the information. Apart from participating in a so-called Real Madrid training camp, there was nothing outstanding about it. However, Valais was attracted by his Chinese identity.

Valle smiled and said: "Did you know? The reason why the Portuguese became a powerful maritime nation back then was because we wanted to trade with the East."

Li Qiao nodded, as if he knew something.

After the pleasantries, it was time to get down to business. Valle personally explained the content of today's trial training.

This kind of cage training is still considered a secret weapon, but later it became very common, because after the German team won the World Cup in 2014, many people began to dig out the secrets of German football success, and one of the trainings is this kind of cage training. Listen

It is said that in Germany, the strongest player in the cage is Gotze, who defeated Argentina in the world.

Li Qiao looked around and nodded, indicating that he understood.

"After I complete a few points, I can join Porto B team?"

"Five," Gomez said.

"No!" In order to make Sosa completely give up, Valais prepared to increase the difficulty, "Six, as long as you complete 6, then Team B welcomes you."

"I want the No. 10 jersey."

Valais's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the people Sousa brought were as unreliable as him? After all, you have completed the challenge and then negotiate terms with me.

"Why number 10?"

Li Qiao said: "I rejected the Real Madrid B team and came here just to be able to play the main role and have stable playing time. If this cannot be guaranteed, there is no need for me to come here."

Valais looked at Li Qiao with wide eyes, "Young man, you rejected the Real Madrid B team?"

Li Qiao nodded.

"Okay." But judging from his expression, Valais didn't believe what Li Qiao said at all.

Valais pointed at the camera, "Young man, we are watching from the next room. Remember, you only have one chance. If it doesn't work..."

"You'd better go back to Real Madrid."

Li Qiao chuckled. He knew Valais didn't believe his words, so let's let actions speak for themselves.
