There is a belief called football

Chapter 37 The New Training Method brought by Eugene
Four people sat around the table, and Eva served Li Qiao a "red beet soup". Li Qiao didn't dare to touch the spoon, because he knew that Lobarov's second son "Leo" hadn't come back yet.

But when Li Qiao saw that Diana and Eugene had the soup first, he was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do. In fact, the first soup is not a staple food, and it doesn't matter if the whole family is present.

Seeing Li Qiao's appearance, Lobarov said, "Son, it's all right."

When the master opened his mouth, Li Qiao was not polite anymore. After being busy for a long time, Li Qiao was indeed hungry. He drank a sip of hot soup and warmed himself up.

At this moment, Li Qiao heard the sound of the gate opening and closing in the yard.

"Ha, Leo is back", Eva was very happy.

According to Diana, this second brother Leo is the favorite of mother Eva, why?Because Eva also studied music when she was young, she favored "Leo" who also studied music.

The footsteps of "creak, creak" on the snow in the yard accompanied by crisp whistles all the way to the gate of the house.

"Haha, mom".

Eva hugged her son, followed by Diana, Eugene, and then Lobarov. Finally, Leo saw the embarrassed Li Qiao, touched Li Qiao's head and said, "You must be the Chinese boy brought back by Dad."

Li Qiao nodded.

Li Qiao looked at Leo, he was dressed like a wandering artist, very similar to an American hippie, and he really didn't look like the Lobarov family at all.

But Li Qiao liked him very much, because Leo kept laughing, as if he was born to laugh.

Lobarov was still the same, helping his son brush off the snow. "I took the train from Donetsk early, but it was damn heavy snow," Leo shrugged.

"God bless the traffic," Lobarov said.

Now that the family is finally together, Eva serves the dishes according to the Ukrainian tradition, and Leo has been helping.

Now Li Qiao knows why Eva likes Leo the most. Look at Diana and Eugene, they are both doing nothing. Leo is so caring. If I were Eva, I would definitely like Leo too.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Qiao's belly was already plump. Seeing Li Qiao's appearance, Eva knew it was time to serve fruit and ice cream.

Li Qiao's favorite is the sweet and sour handmade ice cream made by Eva. Li Qiao has eaten similar kinds of other ingredients made by Eva in China. Only this kind of ice cream has never been eaten by Li Qiao.

Every time after a greasy Ukrainian dish, I come to such an ice cream, which is particularly greasy.

"Leo sing us a song," said Diana.

Leo picked up the guitar and sang while playing. It is very authentic Ukrainian style music. Have you ever heard "Night in the Suburbs of Moscow"? It is probably that style of music.

After playing the song, Li Qiao couldn't help applauding, and then the others also applauded one after another.

Leo got up and returned a salute.

"What a fun night", Li Qiao thought.

"Leo Lyric Modern," Diana yelled.

"Haha, what do you like?"
"Beatles like".

"no problem".

Leo stood up and shook his long hair while playing the guitar. This kind of modern rock needs to be energetic.

Li Qiao saw that Diana was already high, as if she was listening to a concert, "It seems that Diana, like himself, also likes modern and exciting music."

Li Qiao beat the beat of Leo's music, and Diana shouted from the sidelines, and the original Ukrainian-style Christmas Eve instantly turned into a rock festival.

Lobarov was also very happy. Li Qiao originally thought that Lobarov was a rigid person, but now it seems that he was wrong.

The more Diana heard, the more excited she became, she simply ran over to Leo, and Eva also went to work in the kitchen, and now there were only three soccer players on the dining table—Li Qiao, Lobarov, and Eugene.

"How's it going in Karlsruhe?" Lobarov asked.

"Yes, the training in Germany is very good, but the competition is a bit fierce",
"Are you able to play?" Lobarov asked knowingly. In fact, Lobarov cared about the German league every week, not only because it was his job, but also because of his son Eugene.

"I can only play in the cup game," Eugene said shyly, touching his hair while talking, which is a sign of embarrassment. After all, Eugene is 22 this year, and he is not too young to be a professional player, and he can only play as a substitute in the Bundesliga [-].

"Is the league in Germany very competitive"?Li Qiao asked.

"Yes, the confrontation is fierce",
Li Qiao looked at Eugene in front of him. A strong Ukrainian man actually felt that Germany's confrontation was too fierce, so what about himself?
This is the weakness that Li Qiao is most worried about, that is physical confrontation! !This is the natural gap between Asian players and European players. Although Li Qiao came to Ukraine, although he worked hard, he felt one word every day-tired.

The intensity of the training here is too high, and the confrontation in the training is also very fierce. It is common for Li Qiao to be knocked into the air on the training ground.

In the past, Asian players could rely on their flexibility and speed to gain a foothold in Europe, but now, the trend of football is all-round, such as Wayne Rooney, who is fast, skilled and extremely strong.

Li Qiao is really eager to play in the Ukrainian U14 League, but to be honest, he also understands that he is still far behind in training.

It is still difficult for Li Qiao to last the whole game in such a fierce competition, let alone fight against the fight.

"But I feel that you are obviously stronger," Lobarov said.

"Hehe, yes, it's all because of the team's newly introduced training method - the Finnish bath, which can help players recover quickly."

"What, what kind of magical stuff is that?"Li Qiao thought.

"what is that"?
"Oh, it's actually very simple. When you are the most tired after training, steam in the steam room for 20 minutes. When the pores of the whole body are open, jump into an ice pool and endure for 10 minutes. In this way, the fatigue will disappear instantly."

"That won't freeze to death?"
"Haha, of course not, but the temperature in the steam room is about 50 degrees, and the temperature in the ice pool is 0 degrees. It is hard to bear the temperature difference of 50 degrees in an instant."

"Then do you often do this?"
Eugene shook his head and said, "I've only tried it a few times, and I never dare to do it again."

"What is the effect"?
"The effect is very good, but the process is too uncomfortable."

Li Qiao thought to himself that it usually takes at least half a day for him to recover after a training session. If this method works, then he can open and hang indefinitely. With endless physical strength, he might be able to catch up with the U14 league.

Thinking of this, Li Qiao smiled.

"Eugene can you help me with my Finnish bath training"?
"What"?Eugene couldn't believe it.

He shook his head and said, "Just listen to these things, and you should train slowly with the coach."

"Help me, Eugene, I want to participate in the U14 Ukrainian League next year."

Lobarov on the side only understood Li Qiao's thoughts at this time. On the one hand, he admired Li Qiao's courage and determination, and also his ambition.

On the other hand, he has never heard of this kind of training method, at least no team in Ukraine has trained like this.

Lobarov thought about the training method Eugene said, steamed himself first, and then jumped into the ice pool. Just thinking of this made Lobarov get goosebumps.

Lobarov often saw homeless people freezing to death on the street in the news. He knew that in winter in Ukraine, let alone jumping into icy water with his shirt off, he couldn’t bear to stand outside with his shirt on.

But Li Qiao seemed to be very determined, his body was thin and small, but his eyes were so firm, even Eugene was a little shaken when he saw that look.

But Eugene has common sense in sports medicine. He knows that if you are not physically fit, you may have heart problems if you do this.

So Eugene still shook his head very resolutely, "Joe, stop messing around."

Li Qiao saw that persuading Eugene would not work, so he turned to Lobarov. Li Qiao looked at Lobarov with pleading eyes. Lobarov also wanted to help Li Qiao, but he knew that he could not afford such a risk. Besides, he now regarded Li Qiao as his son, so he would not let Li Qiao take this risk.

"Joe, I can't participate in this year's league, but I can participate in next year's. You are still young, and health is more important than everything else."

"Yes, Joe, you should have heard the story of Van Basten",
Li Qiao knew that Basten retired at a young age because his injury did not receive proper treatment.

But Li Qiao still wanted to argue.

"Joe don't say any more," Lobarov was so harsh to Li Qiao for the first time.

Li Qiao was a little scared, so he also shut up.

*****
After the meal, it was time to exchange gifts. Lobarov prepared gifts for both Diana and Li Qiao. Li Qiao opened his own and saw that it was a laptop.

Li Qiao was overjoyed, this was really a big surprise, "Thank you very much, Mr. Lobarov, Ms. Eva".

Li Qiao looked at Diana's gift, and it turned out to be the electronic piano that Diana had always dreamed of. Li Qiao also took out the gift he had prepared, "Sorry, I didn't know that the two brothers would come, I only prepared 3 gifts."

The first one was for Diana, which Li Qiao bought in Chinatown. It was something like Chinese cross-stitch, with Diana's name embroidered on it.

The second one was for Eva. Li Qiao knew that Eva was learning to cook Chinese food recently, so she bought a set of Chinese tableware for Eva.

The third one was for Lobarov, a snuff bottle with Lobarov's face painted on it, which was secretly planned by Li Qiao and Li Shan and sent from China.

When Lobarov got the snuff bottle, he understood everything, because this thing is not available in Ukraine, "You are too much trouble, child", yes, Lobarov's own son has never prepared gifts for him so meticulously.

Lobarov liked it very much and was very moved, but Li Qiao's Finnish bath training plan was still out of the question.
