There is a belief called football

Chapter 5 Forward I Must Play Forward

Stan continued: "Actually, you can come to this place called China's "La Masia", and your family has spent a lot of money. Of course it is very normal for you to want to make money in the future, but I hope that you can find your real purpose of playing football besides money."

"Actually, I believe that most of you may be signed by professional clubs in 2, 3, or at most 5 years, and you can get a good income. When you enter the first team at the age of 20, you can get a million, ten million annual salary, of course I mean RMB.

But if you can’t find the real purpose of playing football, then believe me, once you encounter difficulties, you will not be able to persevere. I am from Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia is called the Brazilian team of Europe. It is the representative of the Latin faction in Europe. I have seen many talented athletes in Yugoslavia.
"But after getting their first contract and a few million dollars, they got lost and I haven't seen them in European leagues since."

After talking about football philosophy, the atmosphere in the classroom became very serious. Coach Shi said: "Please take time to understand what Stan said. Next, you can ask Stan questions about football tactics."

A student in the back row stood up and asked, "Excuse me, Coach Stan, what formation does this class adopt?"

"The first semester is 442",
Another classmate interjected: "But 4231 is popular now, saying that is the championship formation. Is 442 outdated?"

"This question is very good. Manchester United's formation to win the treble is 442, and Milu's formation to lead the Chinese team to the World Cup is also 442. I personally think that 442 has a balanced offense and defense and will never be outdated."

As soon as we started talking about football, the atmosphere in the classroom immediately heated up. Qi Bing asked, "Coach, what player and team do you like the most?"
Sandro, Li Qiao, and the three of them burst out laughing, thinking: "Do you only know this question?"

Coach Stan thought for a while and said: "My favorite player is Pan Caifu, and my favorite teams are "Red Star Belgrade" and Inter Milan."

When Pan Caifu became famous, most of the people in the classroom were not born yet, so everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Coach Stan also saw it and said: "You can go back to the Internet to find Pan Caifu's scoring videos. He was a great shooter in that era."

After finishing speaking, Coach Stan said: "I also ask you a question, what do you think is the most important thing for a good player"?
"Speed," said one.

Stan nods.
Another said: "Talent."

Stan nods.
"Hard work," said Qi Rate,
Stan gave Qi Qi a thumbs up. Qi Qi was praised, and his eyebrows were raised in triumph.

"hapiness",
"hapiness",
The two said the word back and forth, and Stan saw that it was Li Qiao and Sandro, and saw that Stan seemed to have heard a satisfactory answer, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Coach Shi next to him looked at his watch and said, "It's almost here today, and there will be more opportunities to ask for advice in the future. The first class tonight is at 6 pm, and the restaurant will meet on time."

As soon as they heard that the class will start today, everyone felt a little bit in their hearts, thinking: "It's too strict, and we will have to endure hard times in the future."

The restaurant of Tianbao Football School has a hall and a small hall. The hall is similar to the cafeteria in an ordinary university. The small hall is more advanced and suitable for a class gathering.

At 6:460 p.m., everyone gathered at the restaurant and saw that all [-] students from all grades had arrived. It turned out that Tianbao Football School has always had a tradition. The first class is to learn Western food etiquette, because more than half of the coaches are foreigners. Learning to eat Western food is a respect for the coach. On the other hand, Tianbao’s goal is to cultivate football talents who meet international standards.

After everyone sat down, a group of people surrounded two foreigners and came to the restaurant. After introduction, everyone knew that one of the older ones was the head coach of the grade, the Spaniard "Jose", and the other was the deputy coach of the grade, the German "Friedrich".

The two of them are not in charge of daily teaching, they can be regarded as grade supervisors.

At the beginning of the meal, it was Stan who taught the "Maasai class" how to handle the knife and fork and etiquette. The 23 students plus Stan and coach Shi sat at a table. They said it was teaching, but in fact it was an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other better, which is also the purpose of such a special class.

Qi Bing saw that Li Qiao was absent-minded while eating, pushed Li Qiao and asked: "What's the matter, don't you like steak?"
"Oh no",
"Then homesick"?
In fact, Li Qiao is worried about tomorrow's test. Li Qiao's wish is to play as a striker, but after a rough inquiry, he found that many students in the class have a foundation in youth training, and Sandro has trained in a wealthy family.

After dinner, everyone went back to the dormitory. Only Li Qiao was wandering around the training ground. Suddenly, Li Qiao wanted to test his 12-meter level on one side first so that he could have a better idea. So Li Qiao used his watch to time the time. After a [-]-meter pass, the score was [-] seconds.

"Oh my god, it's such a big step back." Thinking that I didn't warm up, I did some warm-up activities first, and then ran again. This time it was 11 seconds, which is Li Qiao's usual time.

This kind of achievement is invincible in the elementary school in my hometown, but here?What kind of?Just when Li Qiao was distracted, a black figure sprang out from the darkness and patted Li Qiao. Li Qiao was startled. Before Li Qiao could react, the other party had already said, "Practice alone."

Hearing that the voice was Qi Bing, Li Qiao felt relieved and said, "What are you pretending to do?"

"Hehe, it depends on your absent-mindedness when eating, what's the matter, what are you worrying about?"

Li Qiao used to talk to his father or talk to three friends when he had concerns, but now he has no relatives here, and he felt lonely in his heart. Li Qiao felt that Qi Bing was not a bad person, so he told Qi Bing what was on his mind.

After hearing this, Qi Bing said: "So that's the case, you didn't say it earlier."

"Why, how can you help me?"
"Yes, I know the classmates well, I can help you analyze them",
Li Qiao thought: "Didn't you just come here today? Why do you know everyone in the class well? You are from Shandong, so you are from Shandong Hubaoyi?"
"Why do you know everyone well? It's the first day we meet."

Qi Bing said: "I am very popular, and I always ask people what team you like."

Li Qiao smiled and said: "Then you help me analyze and analyze."

Qi Bing looked at the watch in his hand and said, "Run as hard as you can, and I will test your best score for you first, and then we can analyze it when we have the data."

Li Qiao heard it was right, so he tried his best to run 100 meters this time.
"11 seconds 30, very fast," Qi Bing said.

"Where can you rank in the class"?
"I guess the third one is fine",
Sandro is faster than himself, Li Qiao thought, who is the other one?
Qi Bing said: "There is a man named Fang Ben, who is also 10 years old." Li Qiao thought for a while, but had no impression, "It was the one sitting next to Coach Shi at dinner." Li Qiao suddenly realized and remembered.

"Is he that good?"Li Qiao asked

"When I was in the Shanghai youth training, I was called Shanghai Peter Pan."

As soon as Li Qiao heard that other people had been trained by youths and had a foundation, he immediately felt a little shorter and asked, "How many seconds will he be there?"

"I don't know, I just heard that he is very fast. He used to play as a winger in the football school in Shanghai."

Li Qiao stuck out his tongue and thought: "Stan's tactic is 442, just two starting forwards, Sandro takes one position, and Fangben takes one position, then I'm going to play as a substitute"?
Qi Bing could see Li Qiao's thoughts, and said: "If you come here, you will be at ease. I don't think you are worse than him. Besides, do you have to play forward?"

"Yes," Li Qiao said firmly.

Qi Bing shrugged and said: "Okay, but you also know that the [-] meters can't be practiced in a short time. What about you, come back with me to play a game of live football, or stand here stupidly?"
Li Qiao was unwilling, but understood that the [-] meters might not improve much in a year, let alone a night, so she shook her head and followed Qi Bing back to the dormitory.

As soon as they entered the door, they heard Qi led ghosts crying and howling. Looking at the TV screen again, the two understood that the river plate controlled by Sandro was 10-0 ahead of Real Madrid controlled by Qi led.

Li Qiao observed carefully and found that Sandro's wing attack was very sharp, and Qi Qi's defense was basically in place, but Sandro's cross was very accurate. Every time he went to the center, the outflanking center forward would score with a header. During the whole process, Qi Qi was led by the nose. Wherever Sandro went, Qi Qi was posted there. It can be said that Sandro used dog-walking tactics, so Qi Qi was passive.

"What a character, Argentina's football education is well-deserved," Li Qiao thought.

At the end of the game, River Plate 11 to 0 Real Madrid, Qi led the face and scolded too many bugs in live football.

"Who's next", Sandro asked.

Qi Bing looked at the situation, shook his head and said: "I'm tired today, another day, another day."

Li Qiao's temper is your best, right? I'm even better than you.

"I come".

Sandro still used the river plate, and Li Qiao chose Bayern. At the beginning of the game, it was still the same. Sandro's sharp attack could not be defended at all, and it was 2-0 soon. Li Qiao thought that he could not sit still, so he thought carefully.

Li Qiao accelerated the speed of passing the ball, making less direct passes and more cross passes, which can reduce conceding the ball. Sure enough, Sandro had fewer chances to steal the ball. No matter how powerful Sandro was without the possession of the ball, it would not help.

After the game, Sandro gave a thumbs up and said: "You defend very well",
"haha, thank you",
This sentence came from the winning side, and Li Qiao always felt uncomfortable when he heard it. Looking at Sandro, Li Qiao thought: "I must win you, and it will be on a real football field."
