There is a dream called football

"Mr. Li Shan, do you know that Aachen is a hot potato now?"

Li Shan nodded. At this time, Aachen was at the bottom of the Bundesliga 2 standings and was likely to be relegated to the Bundesliga 3.

"I know what Aachen is facing now and I am willing to take over this team."

It can be said that Aachen has been in a difficult situation this season. They played like a dog in the league and were eliminated from the German Cup. In the German Cup, Aachen was defeated by the amateur team led by Li Shan. It was also that game that made Aachen

The management paid attention to Li Shan.

They were surprised to find that Li Shan also had a famous son, Li Qiao.

Therefore, on the one hand, it is famous, and on the other hand, it is capable, so Aachen began to contact Li Shan. After negotiations, Li Shan was also willing to take over the team. Although Aachen is very s, it is at least a German second division team.

, this is still incomparable.

The salary Li Shan wants is not high, with an annual salary of 150,000 euros, which Aachen can completely afford.

So as soon as they hit it off, Aachen fired the original head coach and changed coaches midway through the league. It was relatively easy for Li Shan to step down from his job at the original club. After all, the club was still invested by Li Shan.

"And I have promised the management that if Aachen is relegated, then I will leave."

This is a very solemn promise, and it also shows Li Shan's ambition. He will never accept failure because he has sacrificed too much to get to this point.

At the press conference, Li Shan said a few points of his philosophy. It is impossible to buy the first player and can only rely on the team itself.

Second, the lazy players can leave, and so can the half-hearted players.

"I know that many people are already in contact with their next employers, and some may even go to the Bundesliga. What I want to say is, then you can leave, and leave during the winter break. I don't need players who are forced to play for me."

However, there was one topic that was unavoidable, and that was Li Qiao, so people soon asked questions about Li Qiao.

"I heard that your son is Li Qiao who is at Arsenal."

Li Shan nodded, "That's right."

"Then the club considered your son's influence when they invited you."

The reporters at the scene laughed.

Li Shan was also happy.

"I don't think so, because it is impossible for my son to come to Aachen, so they invited me. I should have led the team to defeat Aachen in the German Cup. Our fate started from that game."

"I found out that you were both the head coach and an investor in your original team. Will you also invest money in Aachen?"

"Of course not. The Bundesliga 2 is a professional league and everything must be done according to the rules. I know this very well. I will not cross the line, and I don't have that much money."

"Would you consider bringing in Chinese players? Considering you are a Chinese head coach."

Li Shan nodded.

"Of course, I will consider introducing some Chinese players, but only if they can meet the team's requirements."

"The Chinese player is not important, what is important is that he can help the team."

"I also know that you used to be a doctor. What made you decide to change from a doctor to a football coach, because the span in between is really too big."

Li Shan was silent for a while with a smile, and then began to talk about Li Qiao's influence on him.

"So your son influenced you?"

"To be precise, he inspired me. It takes courage to chase dreams. Without him, I think I would still be a doctor in China, living a good but boring life."

The reporters were also greatly moved. Although dreams are something invisible and intangible, their power is very powerful. At this time, the people sitting at the scene felt this charm.

That is the charm of dreams.

*****

After completing the signing, Li Shan officially took over as the team's coach.

On the training ground, Li Shan looked forward, with his hands folded across his chest. He looked like the coach on the cover of the Football Manager game, domineering and domineering.

Li Qiao chuckled beside him, "Dad, you really feel like a head coach now."

"I used to do the same."

sweat.

In fact, Li Qiao had always thought that his father was just playing for fun and was unlikely to become a professional coach.

Because Europe basically cannot even give opportunities to Asian coaches, which is very difficult.

You have seen Japanese and Korean players killing everyone in Europe, but have you ever seen Japanese and Korean coaches become famous in Europe?

Therefore, Li Shan's road was more difficult than Li Qiao's, but he really persisted, which Li Qiao admired very much.

"Dad, do you need my help? If you have anything, just say it, such as lack of money."

"Haha, brat, you don't need it anymore, at least you don't need it here."

"But if you have any opinions on the construction of the team, you can tell me."

Li Qiao nodded, "My opinion is to introduce Chinese players. This is our advantage."

Li Shan nodded.

It may be difficult for Chinese players to join the five major leagues, but it is still possible to play in the Bundesliga 2.

"I am going to form a Chinese team and return to China to do this specifically. The first target is Hao Junmin."

“Very suitable.”

"Dad, I can help. For example, I can talk to the club. I think my reputation can still help a lot. That will help your authority in the club."

Taking advantage of his son's fame can certainly get twice the result with half the effort, but Li Shan also has concerns. After all, public and private matters must be distinguished.

But Li Qiao is still willing to help, because it is really difficult for Asian coaches to gain a foothold in Europe, and it is appropriate to give the club a little sweetness.

In this way, Li Qiao met with the sports director of Aachen, but in a private capacity.

The opponent is also very happy, this is a star. Aachen has never bought a star in history, nor has it cultivated a star.

So of course Aachen attaches great importance to players of this level.

"Convey my regards to Arthur."

"I will."

"If possible, could we have a friendly match with Arsenal next summer? I think that would be interesting."

Li Qiao nodded, "I can only convey this, I can't make the decision."

"Of course, I hope coach Wenger can think about it."

"Also, I hope you can come to Aachen often. This is a holy resort in Europe. In the ancient Roman era, this was where European nobles went to bathe in hot springs."

"Haha, I will try it with my dad today."

*****

At night, Li Qiao and his father took a relaxing hot spring bath in the hot spring hotel. It felt so refreshing.

"Dad, you will enjoy it from now on."

"You can do it too."

"I don't have a private plane, otherwise I would come every week."

"Haha, don't worry, we will have private jets in the future."
