There is a dream called football

In 2018, in the final round of the Bundesliga 2, Nuremberg faced Bielefeld at home.

This is a battle of life and death, because although the Bundesliga 2 has three promotion places, the third place actually has to play a play-off with the bottom three of the Bundesliga. In this case, it is often impossible to beat, so the safest thing is to get the top two

name and were directly promoted to the Bundesliga.

This game also received widespread attention from the Chinese media, not because there are Chinese players in Nuremberg, but because the current Nuremberg coach is Chinese and Li Qiao's father Li Shan.

Li Shan crossed his chest with his hands and stood on the sidelines, watching his players. If he wins this game, he will be guaranteed to be first in the league and directly promoted. If he loses, he will probably fall to third place in the league.

Regardless of the fact that Nuremberg was first in the league before the game, it was only 2 points behind Darmstadt, and evenly tied with Cologne in second place. It was just that the goal difference was a few more, so Nuremberg ranked first in the Bundesliga 2.

The competition was so brutal in the end.

Li Qiao, who was at the VIP table, was also a little nervous. He knew that such opportunities would not always appear, and when opportunities arise in football matches, they must be seized, otherwise the coach who has fallen short will never have a chance to make a difference.

There are too many such examples in the history of football. To give one example, Leverkusen's Daum led Leverkusen to always be overtaken by Bayern Munich at the last moment, and was nicknamed the second best player in the millennium.

Lorinda held Li Qiao's hand and said, "Don't worry, Dad will be able to do it."

Lorinda and Li Qiao had been married two years ago. They settled in Manchester United. Later, Ronaldo left, but Li Qiao stayed at Manchester United until Sir Alex Ferguson left. Under Moyes, Li Qiao spent a

It was a depressing season, but after Van Gaal came, Li Qiao was reused again.

Now Li Qiao is 32 years old, and he may leave Manchester United soon, but Li Qiao doesn't feel any regrets. His career is perfect.

Of course, what Li Qiao most wants to see is his father's success as a coach. Only he knows how much his father has paid to become the head coach, and these costs are even far greater than what Li Qiao paid.

Because Li Shan was in his 40s when he changed his career.

Looking at the court outside the VIP room, Li Qiao shouted in his heart, "Dad, you must work hard."

During the halftime break, Li Shan watched the game between Cologne and Darmstadt. The two teams were ahead of their opponents respectively.

This dropped Nuremberg's timely ranking to third place, which is terrible. If it ends with such a score, then the whole season will be in vain.

Just when Li Shan was anxious in the locker room, there was a knock on the door.

Li Shan impatiently opened the door, presumably an official from the Football Association or something, but surprisingly, it was Li Qiao who appeared at the door.

The player's eyes suddenly opened wide, like a foodie seeing delicious food.

"Li Qiao."

"Li Qiao."

"It's really Li Qiao of Manchester United, World Footballer of the Year."

Li Qiao walked into the locker room and said, "Hello, nice to meet you."

"OMG."

The locker room began to become agitated, and the players were very happy. They did not expect to see their idols on such an occasion.

Someone laughed and said, "Coach, you have changed your mind."

Everyone knows the relationship between Li Shan and Li Qiao, and the club has repeatedly asked Li Shan to invite his son to the club for activities, but Li Shan sternly refused. He said that he was here to work and had nothing to do with his son.

The Germans, who always like to keep things official, were very understanding. No one mentioned Li Qiao in front of Li Shan again, but this time...

That's why the players were so shocked.

Before Li Shan could speak, Li Qiao smiled and said, "I'm just here to take a look. I don't want to disturb Coach Li Shan's coaching."

"Don't bother, don't bother." Everyone answered in unison on Li Shan's behalf.

Li Shan could only laugh in his heart, "These bastards can't play football well, but they are more energetic this time."

Li Qiao smiled and said: "If possible, I would like to wear the Nuremberg jersey and play with you, but this is impossible, so I can only encourage you mentally and I want to tell you a story."

Everyone looked like they wanted to hear a story, so Li Qiao started talking, and what he was talking about was the story of Li Shan, the story of how he started in an amateur team. At that time, Li Qiao lent him money to train the team.

Then there is the fifth level league in Germany, then the fourth level, and finally the professional league, which is the German third division.

After that, Li Shan's talent was discovered, and he moved to Aachen, Fürth and other German teams. Finally, in 2015, Li Shan took over Nuremberg, which was in the quagmire. It took three years for Li Shan to lift Nuremberg from the German second division.

The tail band has reached the point where it can now compete for the Bundesliga Championship.

When the Nuremberg players finished listening, they saw Li Shan with tears streaming down his face. He could be said to be in tears.

It has been difficult for so many years, with misunderstandings, cynicism, language barriers, financial difficulties, and all the hardships he could endure, but Li Shan still persisted, just for his football dream.

The Nuremberg players also cried after hearing this. They had seen the coach's resume online, but the text was pale and would not resonate with people. At this moment, everyone knew that it was not easy to be a head coach.

At this time, captain Meyer stood up and said, "In the second half, we fought for the head coach."

"Fight for the coach."

In fact, it is not easy to unite such a club, because it is very simple. At this time, several capable players in the team have already hooked up with the Bundesliga team and left at the end of the season.

Werder Bremen and Schalke, their scouts are all watching, so for many players, the team's interests are no longer important, but Li Qiao's words changed the mentality of many people, and they decided to play in the second half

Fight hard.

Nuremberg, who were full of firepower, suddenly became different. After all, they were number one in the league and were still very strong. Soon Meyer scored a beautiful header. When Nuremberg opened their goal account, everything changed.

It's very simple. After that, Nuremberg basically crushed them. In the end, Nuremberg defeated their opponent 3-0 at home and won the Bundesliga Championship this season.

After the game, Li Shan burst into tears again. His dream had come true. It had come true. After so many years of hard work, he could finally become the head coach of the Bundesliga.

You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of professional coaches in Germany, but only a dozen can make it to the Bundesliga stage. They are really one in a million.

Li Shan hugged his players, and he was the happiest person at this moment.
