There is a belief called football

Chapter 650 Birth of a Son
In the hospital, Li Qiao and Li Shan were waiting anxiously. It was the end of 2019, and Munich was freezing cold.

"Don't be nervous, now that medical technology is so advanced, what can happen," Li Shan said.

Li Qiao forced a smile. This was his first time as a father, and he was nervous, anxious, and all kinds of complicated emotions filled his mind.

"Dad, when I was born, were you like me now?"
Li Shan nodded, "Of course." After speaking, Li Shan showed a fatherly smile.

While the two were talking, a nurse came over. At this moment, Li Qiao's heart rose to his throat. He hoped to hear that the mother and child were safe.

"It's a boy, very healthy",
In fact, the gender can be known before delivery in Germany, but Diana and Li Qiao agreed not to ask the gender of the child before delivery.

"I am a father"! ! !
At this moment, Li Qiao was just jumping and jumping in the hospital hall, completely disregarding his star image.

"I am a father"! !

"Dad, let's go and have a look at Little Li Fu",
The two father and son couldn't wait to run to the room where Diana was, and the baby was in the incubator on the side.

Little Li Fu closed his eyes, only to see that the child had fair skin and black hair. The nurse said, "His eyes are beautiful and light blue."

Li Qiao nodded repeatedly, at this moment Li Qiao wanted to cry a little bit, he was inexplicably moved, he walked to Diana's side, and put his arms around Diana, "My son is very beautiful".

Diana smiled gratifiedly, "That's good, like you or like me."

"I don't know yet, at first glance, only the hair looks like me",
Perhaps because she was too tired, Diana stopped talking, and just fell asleep quietly on Li Qiao's arm.

*****
Thirty days later, when Li Fu was full moon, Li Qiao received a call from the German Immigration Service.

It turned out that they wanted Li Fu to become a German citizen. Even though Li Fu was only 30 days old, this little guy is not ordinary. His biological father is the World Footballer, and his godfather is Messi.

But Li Qiao is very cautious on this issue. Now Li Fu has three choices theoretically. First, he should be the same as his father; second, he should be the same as his mother; third, he can also choose his birthplace.

Sure enough, not long after, the Ukrainian Immigration Bureau also called. They hoped to get Li Fu to become a Ukrainian citizen and represent Ukraine in international competitions in the future.

Li Qiao felt that this matter should be discussed with Diana. Although he had already planned in his heart, Li Qiao hoped that Li Fu could become the No. 9 legend of the national team just like himself.

"I don't think we should make a choice. When our son grows up, he can make his own choice," Diana said.

Seeing that Li Qiao was noncommittal, Diana understood that Li Qiao must have plans in mind, "Joe, no matter what you decide, I will support you."

With these words, Li Qiao felt relieved that he would always grow old, and he hoped that his son could become a member of the Chinese national team like himself in the future.

But the Germans still don't give up, they still hope that Li Qiao can reconsider, and they will always pay attention to Li Fu's performance.

*****
"Baby, I recently found out that our son doesn't like football, but likes watching cartoons",
Diana chuckled, how old is Li Fu? Of course a 2-year-old likes watching cartoons.

"Li Fu is still young",
"I'm worried, tell me, what if he doesn't like football in the future?"
Diana said seriously: "Then I can't help it, I can't force him."

Li Qiao pouted, "Being a father is really worrying, I now know my father's difficulties."

Parents like to design a perfect path for their children, but children often like to do the opposite of their parents.

The next day, Li Qiao shook a football in front of Li Fu, "Son, shall we play football in the yard?"
"OK",
Li Qiao was overjoyed.

Li Qiao held the ball in one hand and Li Fu in the other to the yard.

"Son, I want to explain to you how football is played. There are several positions in football, goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, and forward. For example, your father and I play forward."

Li Qiao explained for a long time, but in the end Li Fu also half understood.

"So son, what position do you want to play",
Li Fu thought for a while and replied: "Dad, I want to be a goalkeeper."

Boom, Li Qiao almost fell when he heard it, goalkeeper?
"No, no, it's useless to be a goalkeeper. Let's be a striker, okay?"
"No, when the goalkeeper has gloves, I like gloves",
This is how to do?
goalkeeper?
The appearance of Qi Qi flashed in Li Qiao's mind. Compared with the striker who destroyed the city and pulled out the stronghold, he was far worse than the striker who scored goals.

"No, to be a striker, you must be a striker",
As a result, little Li Fu sat on the ground and burst into tears. This time, Li Qiao had no choice but to coax him to no avail.

Diana in the room heard it and ran out to have a look, "What's wrong?"
"I want to be a goalkeeper, but my father won't let me," Li Fu said while crying.

In fact, Li Qiao also wanted to cry at this time, why is this son so unlike him, he wants to be a goalkeeper.

"Oh, okay, be a goalkeeper," Diana coaxed.

*****
Little Li Fu's dream of becoming a goalkeeper lasted until he was 4 years old. In that year, something happened that made Li Fu never be a goalkeeper again.

It turned out to be like this. When Li Fu was playing football with a child, he was smothered in the face by the ball. At that second, the world was spinning. From then on, the world lost a goalkeeper and added an excellent striker.

"Dad, I will be a striker in the future",
God, it turns out that prayer is useful, thank God Almighty.

"Okay, this is like me"?
"Like you? Did you get smothered in the face with a ball when you were young?"
Where is this all?Diana chuckled.

"Li Qiao, let me tell you, it's wrong to push children back."
"It's okay," Li Qiao said confidently.

From then on, Li Qiao told Li Fu about football and watched football matches, especially the highlights of the shots.

The effect is always a little bit. Li Fu really fell in love with football day by day, especially the feeling of being a striker, because the moment he scored a goal, the feeling was really great.

When Li Fu was 7 years old, Li Qiao officially sent him to Bayern Munich's youth training camp, and Muller's son also entered the camp at the same time.

At this time, Li Fu was already very sensible. He knew that his father was a big star, and his father had great expectations of him.

Li Qiao stroked his son's back and said, "Son, you can only rely on yourself in the future. Dad can only buy you the best equipment and send you to the best school, but you have to walk on your own."

Li Fu chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't be worse than you."

"Brat",
When Li Qiao watched Li Fu run into the Bayern youth training camp, tears flowed down unconsciously.

*****
Li Fu is growing up day by day, and Li Qiao is getting old day by day. Of course, it does not mean age. In terms of age, Li Qiao is still very young. What is aging is Li Qiao's professional life.

For a player, his career is so short. After Messi and Ronaldo retired, Li Qiao became the only superstar in European football. During this period, some people flashed out and were expected to form a peerless double pride with Li Qiao, but in the end it turned out that none of them reached the height of Li Qiao.

In the end, European football understood that the only thing that could beat Li Qiao in this world was time.

But everyone was wrong again.

On a drizzling morning, Li Qiao turned on his phone as usual to check the latest news.

And a piece of news from the BBC made Li Qiao's heart feel like someone had been hit hard - "Sandro was murdered".

The thing is like this, because Sandro returned to Argentina to participate in a national team game, which was a match between Argentina and Mexico. The venue was in Mexico. After the game, Sandro and his teammates celebrated their teammates’ birthdays in a nightclub, but unfortunately met Mexican gangsters. In the end, Sandro was hit by a stray bullet and unfortunately died.

After watching the news, Li Qiao's tears flowed down. Diana was at a loss. She snatched Li Qiao's phone and saw that she also cried.

That big boy who smiled like sunshine actually...

This is not the first time that a star in South American football has been killed. Brazil, Colombia, and especially Mexico have happened many times, but...

Li Qiao, Qi Bing, Qi Rate, Stan, Guangzhou Tianbao, the Argentine national team, and Barcelona all expressed their condolences to Sandro on social media immediately.

"I still remember the first day I walked into Tianbao's bedroom in Guangzhou and saw you. You are so sunny. I think heaven will be brighter because of you. Forever Sandro, forever good brother", Li Qiao.

Sandro's funeral was held in Buenos Aires, and Li Qiao and Diana rushed over. Sandro's parents choked up several times and fainted. During the whole funeral, Sandro's parents hardly said a word. In fact, their son is going to retire next year. After this summer, Sandro will return to Argentina, leave Barcelona to join River Plate, and return to the place where the dream began.

Qi Bing cried very sadly. After Li Qiao left, Qi Bing was the one who talked to Sandro. The friendship between the two was even deeper than that between Li Qiao and Sandro.

Qi Bing knew that Sandro was not a player of the same level as himself, but he always silently respected Sandro in his heart.

Stan at the funeral was very silent, like withered in the wind, he was too old to bear such a blow.

Li Qiao has been supporting him, and it is obvious that Stan is shaking. For Stan, Sandro is also his child.

When the funeral was over, Messi also arrived. He was in the United States and had just arrived in Buenos Aires after flying for more than 10 hours.

When the crowd dispersed, Messi placed a bouquet of white flowers in front of Sandro's tombstone. He stroked the tombstone lightly, then turned and left.
