There is a dream called football

Jorge Sampaio Stadium.

This is the home stadium of Porto B team. Compared with the famous Dragon Stadium, this place looks miniaturized.

This is the first time Porto plays at home this season, and the opponent is Madeira United.

Li Qiao started this game, replacing Brazilian Charles as the right winger.

The game was a bit tough. Facing Porto, the opponent still put up a tight formation, and the ball possession rate even dropped to 18% in the first half.

Around the 60th minute of the second half, when the game was slow to open up, Li Qiao got rid of the defense in front of the penalty area and then faked a shot and passed the ball to Dada who was running in from the wing.

Madeira United used man-to-man defense against several of Porto's attacking players, but it was certainly impossible to send someone to keep an eye on the opponent's right back.

Dada Gustavo rushed up to meet the ball and fired an angry shot. The ball flew straight into the near corner of the goal.

1 to 0!

This is Porto's first goal at home this season and Dada's first goal in his career.

Head coach Valle on the sidelines raised his arms and shouted, grabbing Gomez's hand, "Did you see that this is the football I want, and this is how we should play the game."

Valais rubbed his fingers, as if he were sprinkling magic powder, "Li Qiao and Gustavo have formed a tacit understanding on the right wing, which is wonderful."

In the third round away game against Portimão, Porto finally broke out and beat their opponent with 4 goals. Li Qiao also scored his first goal since joining.

In this game, Fabio was alive, as if Deco from the first team lent him his right foot. He sent many through balls that penetrated the opponent's defense.

And Li Qiao's offense from the wing is still so sharp.

Just when Valle couldn't help but feel that everything was under control, in the fourth round, facing Aves at home, Porto tied their opponent 0-0. What was even worse than the draw was that Porto's statistics in this game were...

The number within the door frame is zero.

After the game, George Sampaio received sporadic boos for the first time this season. Apparently some fans were quite dissatisfied with the result of the game.

Good times can make people forget about themselves. In fact, assistant coach Gomez has already seen the problem. Avis has obviously carefully analyzed the previous three games of Porto and made targeted arrangements. In this game, he deployed heavily on the left, against Li Qiao.

Perform suffocation defense.

This was also Li Qiao's worst game. The statistics throughout the game were ugly. Valais was obviously unwilling to admit this. He thought it was just an accident and the children were tired.

It wasn't until the fifth round away game against Olivierense that Valle finally woke up after Porto lost 0-3.

In this game, Valle made three substitutions in the second half, replacing Li Qiao, Fabio and forward Ivanildo.

This is also the first time that Li Qiao was substituted after starting a game without playing the entire game. This feeling is a bit bitter.

Back in Porto, it was like there was a dark cloud hanging over the Gaya training center, and everyone's face was covered with a layer of frost.

What he lost was not just the game, but the scene. What Valais was angry about was not the 0-3 score, but the fact that no threatening offensive opportunities were created in the game.

However, Valais did not criticize the players harshly. Instead, he gave everyone a day off on Monday and began intensive training on Tuesday.

*****

In the Seagull restaurant, Sosa found his daughter who was cleaning the table.

"Lorinda, you have to give in to Li Qiao today. He should be in a bad mood. Porto experienced a disastrous defeat at the weekend."

Sosa stretched out three chubby fingers and said, "0 to 3. It's so miserable. I'm about to cry."

Lorinda chuckled, "Do you think I'm a particularly bad person? Don't worry, I will definitely smile when I see Li Qiao today."

"Haha, great, my good daughter."

In the room, Li Qiao has been thinking about recent games. The opponent has indeed strengthened its defense, but the problem is that defense in Europe has always been very strong.

Is it possible that this is all I have? If the opponent strengthens their defense, then I will give up?

Can't figure it out.

I can't understand.

Li Qiao opened msn, hoping to contact Saki and ask for advice.

After sending a message, Li Qiao waited for 5 minutes with an uneasy feeling, but there was no response.

sweat.

"It seems that I have thought too much. How could a busy man like Saki still remember a little person like me?"

Just when Li Qiao was about to close the chat window.

Ding ding ding.

A message rang.

Li Qiao was overjoyed and Saki replied.

"What's up?"

"Arrigo, are you busy? I want to ask you something."

"First of all, you should call me old man. Secondly, let's talk about it."

Li Qiao described it for a long time, and Saki looked confused.

"Kid, I don't understand what you want to say. Let's do this. We can have a video and you can explain it to me."

video?

Li Qiao was flattered.

In fact, what Li Qiao didn't know was that the bigger the coach in Europe, the better he would be to his players. In his memoirs, Ferguson commented on several opponents, including Benix and Mourinho. Among them, the one Ferguson looked at the most was Mourinho.

, the reason turned out to be that he treats his players very well.

During the video connection, Li Qiao told Saki his confusion.

"Old man, am I not good enough?"

Sacchi shook his head, "According to your description, this has nothing to do with you. It should be a problem with the midfielder."

Li Qiao was confused.

"Why?"

"The midfielder's ball should be elusive, sometimes left, sometimes right, confusing the opponent. And since the opponent can block the left with heavy troops, it proves that your team's offense has been figured out. Such an offense

How could there be a threat?"

Li Qiao nodded.

Sacchi continued: "I have always described the midfielder as a smart thief. He cannot enter the house through the door, but should climb through the window. If a stupid thief enters through the door, he will be blocked by the owner."

puff.

This metaphor was so vivid that Li Qiao was amused.

"What should we do?"

Sacchi spread his hands and said, "There are two ways, either to change the way of playing football, or to change the person."

Li Qiao nodded. Is the problem found or does it lie with Fabio? Li Qiao had an idea. Can he take the opportunity to introduce Raven to Valais?

Li Qiao originally planned to recommend Raven after he had established himself in the team and was qualified to speak, but now it seems that it is better to choose the right time than to hit the right one.

As he said, Li Qiao found Uncle Sousa, who was familiar with the club, and asked him to mention it first. Then he and Valle formally introduced Raven, hoping to let Raven come to play for the Porto B team.

Thinking of this, Li Qiao got goosebumps all over his body. He was very excited about the idea. If it comes true, he can play football with his good brothers again.
