There is a dream called football

In Valais' office, a contract was placed in front of Li Qiao.

Team B plays in the Portuguese Serie A, which is the second level league in Portugal. This is a professional league. Unlike the youth team, the players of Team B are all professional players.

Sosa has already begun to act as an agent. He looked at the main points. The first one is annual salary.

85,000 euros.

For young players, it should be a very reasonable salary. Li Qiao will not argue too much about money. What is more important is the length of the contract.

Team B usually signs for two years. If you can be promoted to the first team, the contract will be re-signed, and of course the salary will be different.

If you don't have the strength to join the first team, then in two years, another group of people from Porto's youth team will be promoted, and you will have no choice but to leave.

After all, the B team serves the first team. This is the same in any country. No matter how good the results are, it is only a component of the echelon.

Sosa asked Li Qiao softly, "How is it?"

Li Qiao nodded, "Sign it."

By signing his name, Li Qiao will officially become a member of the Porto B team and will compete in the Portuguese Serie A this upcoming season.

Looking at the contract, Valle smiled slightly and said, "You wear the No. 7 jersey."

Li Qiao was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you agree to give me number 10?"

"Really? Did I say that? I don't remember. Maybe my English is not good and you misunderstood."

"Fuck, come again!"

However, Li Qiao is not obsessed with numbers. The core of the field is determined by his playing, not by a jersey.

When he came to the training ground, Valle did not introduce Li Qiao to everyone, but asked him to join the training, and the others did the same. It was not surprising. This is the characteristic of the B team. People often come and people often leave.

If the player performs well, he will be promoted to the first team if he likes it. On the other hand, if the player of the team does not perform well, he will be transferred to the b team for training.

Step onto the lawn.

His teammates ignored Li Qiao at first. The training here is also focused on passing. The only difference is that the pressure on counterattacks is not as strict as Real Madrid requires.

Football in the Iberian Peninsula is all about technology, which is inherited from generations. Whether it is the era of Rui Costa and Figo, or later the era of Cristiano Ronaldo, Quaresma, and Nani, the overall development of Portuguese football

The style has not changed.

I remember that during the 2000 European Cup, the CCTV host used the word sexy to describe Portuguese football, which should be very appropriate.

When facing a completely unfamiliar team, the first step is to recognize the people.

Who is the core midfielder?

Who is the striker.

Who is the defender.

After jogging for 10 minutes, Li Qiao recognized the core of the midfield because other players would pass the ball to him when they got the ball.

This kid is wearing the No. 10 jersey. He looks very much like a Portuguese. He has long black hair, bronze skin, and his playing style has a bit of Rui Costa's shadow.

He distributes the ball quickly after receiving the ball, basically relying on instinct to pass the ball. However, one thing that is not good is that the training here lacks strong confrontation.

No. 10 does not look at the ball, he will pass the ball to whoever can get into space.

Seeing a defensive gap, Li Qiao ran over and passed the ball to No. 10. This was Li Qiao's first touch of the ball in team B.

Valle squinted his eyes and looked very carefully. The training in the cage was somewhat like armchair training, but this is real football, with the smell of grass and earth.

Li Qiao took the ball, and a dark-skinned little man stepped in like a bolt of lightning from the wing.

"This should be the right back."

Li Qiao is in the right wing position. When he gets the ball, the full-back must cover the side.

This is Portuguese football, this is Porto, even the B team's tactical requirements are very strict.

A through ball was just right. The little man took the ball and passed it down to complete the attack.

Half an hour of ball training was not very intense, but Valais saw a lot of things.

Li Qiao's running and passing are very good, which is suitable for the Portuguese football style, but the confrontation is a bit poor, especially when facing fierce players, Li Qiao will instinctively get out of the way.

You must know that Portuguese football not only has the artistic master Figo, but also the fierce defensive players like Maniche.

"Not bad, not bad, the advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages are also obvious."

Valle will not let Li Qiao start immediately, but it is still very safe for such a player to be included in the roster.

"Take your time, maybe in two years, he will be able to establish himself in the first team."

During the break, the midfielder who had just passed a few good balls to Li Qiao came over and asked, "New here, are you Chinese?"

"right."

"Then let's get to know each other, my name is Fabio Espinho, I'm Portuguese."

"My name is Li Qiao."

"Your skills are very good, a bit like Latin football. I guess you have played street football."

"Haha." Li Qiao gave a thumbs up, "You are pretty awesome."

"Haha, because we have a guy here who plays street football and was brought to Porto by scouts."

As he spoke, Fabio waved to the little man who had been constantly edging him just now.

"Come here, Dada."

Fabio patted the little man on the shoulder, "Dada Gustavo, from Brazil."

"Hello." The other party extended his hand.

Li Qiao also stretched out his hand, "Hello, my name is Li Qiao, from China."

"Why are you called Dada?" Li Qiao asked.

Unexpectedly, Dada and Fabio looked surprised at the question, "Don't you know? That is the third top scorer in Brazilian history after Pele and Romario."

There are too many great players in Brazilian history. Most of the ones we know in China are Pele, Zico, Socrates, Romario, and then Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho.

But in fact, in Brazil, Dada is also the idol of many children, especially children in slums.

His full name is Dario Jose dos Santos, and Dada is his nickname. He also has a record that no one has surpassed yet, that is, scoring 10 goals in a single game.

Li Qiao looked embarrassed, "I really don't know."

"It's okay." Dada smiled and said: "Your through ball is really good, the power is just right. I hate the kind of through ball that is not powerful enough. I have to slow down to get the ball."

After finishing speaking, Dada turned to Fabio, "You know who I'm talking about, right?"

"Haha, it's definitely not about me anyway."

This is how football players can understand and attract each other through passing the ball. By the time the half-day training was over, Li Qiao had become good friends with Dada and Fabio.

After the training, Fabio patted Li Qiao and said, "Let's go, the restaurant at Gaya Training Center is quite good, go and try it."

"Okay, I happen to be hungry too."
