There is a dream called football

"Have you ever seen Los Angeles at 4am?"

Li Qiao has not seen it, but he has seen Porto at 5 o'clock in the morning. He went out for a run and the sky was completely bright.

In summer in Portugal, 6 o'clock in the morning is like 8 o'clock in China. Li Qiao returned to his place of residence.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a voice from behind: "Hello, manufacturer."

"Holy shit?"

"Are you saying good morning?" Li Qiao asked.

Lorinda said with a smile on her face: "Am I right?"

Li Qiao shook his head, "Of course not, it should be good morning."

Lorinda learned it several times, but Chinese is a bit difficult for Europeans. After practicing it several times, Lorinda felt as if her tongue was about to get knotted.

"Why do you suddenly think of learning Chinese?"

"Because there are more and more Chinese people coming to the store, I think it will be helpful to learn some Chinese."

Lorinda looked at Li Qiao and blinked her eyes. She knew that she had something to ask for without saying anything.

"Haha, just tell me if you have anything."

"Teach me Chinese every day from now on, and I'll let you eat and live for free."

Li Qiao smiled and said, "Even if you don't let me live and eat for free, I will teach you."

"Okay, teach me this sentence first." Lorinda pointed to an introductory Chinese book.

“Welcome.”

"Change……"

…

Li Qiao read it 10 times, but it was difficult to pronounce Lorinda.

"You can't do this. You have to learn Chinese Pinyin first. You have to find a training class, or do you have a Chinese course in your university?"

"There should be."

"Well, you must learn Pinyin first, otherwise I won't be able to teach you."

"Okay." Lorinda nodded, "I've prepared breakfast for you."

Come to the club.

Li Qiao obviously felt that the intensity of today's training had increased, and the atmosphere on the training ground was also more serious.

It turns out that the Portuguese Liga League is about to start. The first round is on the weekend, August 12th. The opponent of Porto B team is Tondela, a difficult opponent.

(From now on, if there is no disagreement, we will just call it Team Porto)

Low-level leagues in any country have similar characteristics. The technical content is not as good as the top leagues, but the competition is more intense.

For example, in the Premier League, the newly promoted teams are often more difficult to deal with and are particularly fierce.

The Reading team that almost defeated Petr Cech was promoted from the English Championship. Because it is not easy for low-level teams to survive, the style of play is more fierce.

Valle's tactical style is similar to that of the first team. He has higher requirements for the wingers. In addition, for scoring players in the middle, he prefers to use big centers.

Now Porto's left wing is relatively fixed, using local winger Luis Alfonso.

The right wing continues from last season, and Brazilian Charles Chad is used.

Fabio is used as the front midfielder, and he also wears the No. 10 jersey.

The defensive midfielder is Diogo Ramos, who is also Portuguese. His playing style is like a shovel, and he is responsible for destroying the midfield.

The forward line uses Ivanildo, a black forward from Guinea-Bissau.

At this time, Portuguese football was generally still in the style of the 2000 European Cup, with sharp wings and a habit of using big centers in the middle, such as Nuno Gomez of the Portuguese national team.

Li Qiao got the ball from the wing, and Dada immediately assisted.

this……

If Dada always tries to hit the wing, then why should he be a winger?

Li Qiao was a little puzzled, but regarding the overall tactics, he was still a layman, so he could only discuss it with his coach.

During a break in training, Li Qiao asked coach Valais this question.

Valle smiled and said: "You don't have to pass the ball at all."

"No pass?"

Li Qiao thought to himself that the kid sprinted 60 meters. It seemed a little bad if he didn't pass the ball, right?

Valais could read Li Qiao's confusion from his expression.

"Movement has two purposes. The first is to run out of space and create space for teammates to pass the ball. The second is to attract the opponent's defensive players."

Valais pointed at Dada, "When he assisted, didn't he take away a midfielder? You can definitely break through by yourself."

Li Qiao nodded, "Coach, I understand."

In fact, many runs on the football field are empty runs and cannot get the ball. However, such runs are often the most important and are also the real profoundness of the sport of football. In the subject of running without the ball,

In terms of knowledge, many players need lifelong learning.

Li Qiao's running without the ball is very active. It can be seen that Li Qiao's ability to interpret the game is average, but he works very hard and runs for every ball. In this way, the probability of catching the ball is still higher than others.

Assistant coach Gomez on the sidelines smiled and said: "I think Li Qiao can be arranged to start in the first game and play on the right wing."

Valle shook his head, "I've seen a lot of geniuses, but very few can become superstars. This is a difficulty in youth training."

It's true. Portugal, Spain, and Brazil never lack talent, but why aren't there stars all over the streets? That's because the growth of players is very complicated.

"You have to let him adapt to the rhythm of the game, just like when you drink coffee, you have to blow it first and then drink it when the time is right."

"Haha, you are still awesome."

Valle decided to let Li Qiao start playing as a substitute and give him 10 minutes in each game to slowly adapt to the rhythm of professional games.

*****

For Saturday's game, Valle is accustomed to announcing the starting lineup and squad after training on Friday.

Li Qiao has been hard on himself these days just to get into the starting lineup. This can be regarded as a silent struggle.

Dada and Fabio also patted their chests and confirmed that he would definitely be able to join the starting lineup in this state. After all, the Brazilian Charles was a little absent-minded and the possibility of him being promoted to the first team was very small. So the next stop was to go back to Brazil.

"Thank you. If I make the starting lineup, I'll treat you to dinner at the Seagull Restaurant tonight."

"Ha ha."

Li Qiao pointed at Dada, "But we can't pack it this time."

When the starting list was announced, Dada and Fabio were extremely surprised. Unexpectedly, even other players found it unreasonable.

Li Qiao's performance on the training field these days is obvious to all. He runs almost twice as far as others and competes for every ball. With such a professional attitude, it seems a bit unjustifiable not to be included in the starting lineup.

After announcing the list, Vallee left without any explanation.

After a short period of disappointment, Li Qiao recovered. Since he has chosen the path of football, don't be afraid of setbacks.

Because professional football equals frustration.

Li Qiao patted Fabio and Dada, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner and congratulate you on being in the starting lineup."

Dada, Fabio was very considerate and didn't say much. Anyway, he was included in the 18-man roster, and everything was off to a good start.
