There is a belief called football

Chapter 86
With crisp whistles and brisk footsteps, a foreigner with a short-sleeved upper body and casual sports pants was walking on the streets of Guangzhou, carrying a large bag of things in his hand, which was a week's "ration" just bought from the supermarket.

You should know who he is without me telling you, yes, he is Stan.

Seven years have passed, and Stan is still single. Like an otaku, he buys food once a week, and then spends his free time in the apartment facing his laptop. However, Stan doesn’t play games. He watches game videos, which are available in various countries. Some are bought for money, and some are downloaded for free.

There are many workaholics in the football circle, the most famous being Guardiola. In fact, there is another one who is not so famous, but I personally think that he can be called a master of tactics. That is the Swiss head coach of "Monchengladbach" "Favre".

It is said that Favre went on vacation with his wife, but he secretly watched the game video in the hotel alone.

Football is the same as other things. One minute on the stage and ten years of work off the stage are the continuous research of these "workaholics" who are "married" to football, and modern football has developed to this level.

If you look at the videos of the World Cup in the 70s, you will find that there were strong teams like Italy and Germany at that time, and the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions was also very slow, which is similar to the feeling of watching the Super League now.

Just as Stan inserted the key into the door and was about to open the door and go in, someone shouted from behind, and it was this shout that made Stan's whole body freeze and tremble slightly.

"Stan, do you still remember that sentence 7 years ago"?
"Of course I remember, brat, I said you are welcome back anytime."

After speaking, Stan threw the bag in his hand and came to hug Li Qiao.

The two hugged each other as if celebrating a goal, and after a while, Stan said, "Come back for vacation"?
Because although the Chinese Super League is still going on, the European League is a summer holiday.

"It's a long story," Li Qiao said.

"It's a long story. I didn't intend to let you go. I have to stay at my house tonight."

Li Qiao followed Stan into the door and looked around. It was a very simple apartment. Although Stan is now the head coach of the Guangzhou Tianbao senior team, leading "Tianbao" to the Super League, with an annual salary of 100 million euros, but because he is single and a workaholic, he still lives in a single apartment not far from the training base.

"Stan, at least you bought a villa to live in, with an annual salary of one million euros."

"Hehe, I have a big space phobia and can't live in a villa," Stein said.

Li Qiao laughed, "Coach Stan has become humorous."

"Hehe, there are many games with the team now, and the pressure is high. It's not good to be humorous. I used to be with you little devils, so be serious."

Stan put the things in the refrigerator, then opened a bottle of "Heineken" and handed it to Joe Li, "Joe, you haven't said what you're doing when you come back, it's not because of your conscience, why don't you just come and see me."

"That's what you said," Li Qiao retorted.

"Hehe, Joe, I know you best, oh, by the way, did you marry that little beauty?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Qiao almost spit out half of the beer in his mouth.

Li Qiao decided that it is best to move one by one, or else I don't know what kind of whimsy Stan has.

After about half an hour, Li Qiao finally gave an overview of what happened.

As soon as Stan finished listening, he slapped his thigh and shouted: "That's great."

"What? Stan, is your Chinese level regressed? Is there someone who gloats like you?" Li Qiao thought to himself.

Stan also felt it was inappropriate, so he wanted to change the term, but after much deliberation, he still couldn't help saying, "That's great."

Of course, this time after Stan finished speaking, he immediately went on to say: "Joe, don't worry, just listen to my explanation."

Li Qiao thought to himself, "You still know that I will be anxious".

But Stan's football IQ is first-rate, and other aspects are average, especially eloquence. If you really calm down and wait for him to say something, he won't know where to start.

Stan thought for a while and said, "Do you know how much the boss pays me for a transfer fee a year"?
"How many"?
"2000 million"! !

"RMB"?
"Is it useful to buy people in RMB internationally? Of course it is the euro," Stein said excitedly.

Li Qiao was taken aback, thinking: "So awesome".

Now Li Qiao already understands the rules of international football too well, that is, everything depends on money, otherwise it is useless no matter how high the level of the club is.

The most typical one is "Parma" in Italy, a great club that once cultivated the teams of "Cannavaro", "Thuram", "Buffon" and "Crespo".

So when Li Qiao heard the figure of 2000 million euros, he was really shocked and very excited.

Stan continued: "The boss said that if it is not enough, you can apply again. If you can win the AFC Champions League this year, the bonus will be 5000 million, but this time it is RMB."

As soon as Li Qiao heard it, there were quite a few. I haven't seen him for a few years. Is Chinese football so popular now?
"So, Joe, that's why I said it's great for you to come back. You've caught up with the good times. Now Chinese football lacks everything, except money."

In fact, Lobarov’s judgment back then was quite correct. With the development of China’s economy, China will definitely produce many rich football tycoons, but Chinese local tyrants are different from those in Russia and the Middle East. Chinese football tyrants like to spend money at home.

"Joe, how much annual salary does Dynamo Kyiv give you"?
"50 euros".

"Okay, I'll give you 60 Euros",
"And you want number 9, right? I'll give it to you."

Li Qiao was taken aback for a moment, and then wanted to cry. Sure enough, he was right. Stan is the one who understands himself best in the football world.

Li Qiao didn't say anything, he knew that thousands of words were too much, he just said lightly: "Thank you, Stan".

But Stan is still very excited, he wants to introduce to Li Qiao the team he is leading now.

The current situation is that Guangzhou Tianbao is already far ahead in the league. Stan is basically training new players. Then in August, the AFC Champions League knockout round will start. The team will draw a Thai team "Buri Ram".

"The team's goal is the AFC Champions League, but this goal is not easy," Stein said.

Joe also nodded. Li Qiao knew that the Chinese team had never won the AFC Champions League, and it was time to change this history.

"Now let me tell you about the team building idea," Stein said.

Li Qiao thought: "So advanced"?
"This team is simply a policy of "Pavon" and "Zidane".

"What text"?Li Qiao asked.

This is because although Chinese football is not short of money, after all, the history is short, and everything is still learned from abroad. This "Pavon" plus "Zidane" policy was formulated by Florentino for Real Madrid back then.

To put it simply, the composition of the team consists of young players cultivated by themselves and superstars purchased.

The current Guangzhou Tianbao is like this. On the one hand, it has the best youth training school in China. Of course, it needs to promote talents from within, but in order to achieve results quickly, it also needs to buy stars.

"Then how many people in our class entered the senior team?"
"4",
"So few," Li Qiao said.

"Although Tianbao is rich, it is not easy to keep good players," Stein said.

Li Qiao knew what Stan meant, because he heard that Sandro had gone to Barcelona in 2006, and now Sandro is Messi's younger brother, and is even called Messi's successor.

"Who is that?" Li Qiao continued to ask.

"Qi rate, Qi Bing, Park Hancheng, Hassler", Stan replied.

"But the only one who can play the main force is Hasler, who is now the team's attacking midfielder," Stein continued.

"But now you're here," Stan said with a smile.

Li Qiao smiled and said: "It seems that your "Pavon" plus "Zidane" policy was not successful. Pavin's end is small, but Zidane's end is very big."

Stan laughed loudly and said: "You have to take your time. If you don't need foreign aid, your grades will not be good, and I will be dismissed from get out of class."

This Li Qiao also understood, "Then when can I sign with the team"?
"tomorrow".

"Don't you need to discuss it with the boss?" Li Qiao said.

Stein said: "I can call the shots for transfers below 1000 million euros."

"What a great right," Li Qiao thought.

Stan looked at his watch, it was 7 o'clock in the evening, "Come on, Joe, I'll treat you to dinner."

The two were walking on the street, and Li Qiao said, "Guangzhou has changed so much."

"Yes, look," Stan pointed to the "little waist" in the distance.

"It was just completed last year".

Li Qiao looked at the beautiful "Canton Tower" and thought: "Maybe it's right for me to come back. Chinese football is really different now."

In fact, although Li Qiao said those rhetoric at the Kiev airport, he actually has no idea in his heart, the Super League?Can Europe see it?If European teams can't see their own performance, then isn't what I say is a complete bragging?
But after talking with Stan, Li Qiao became confident. After all, there are still many European teams in the AFC Champions League. Or if they win the AFC Champions League, they can participate in the Club World Cup, and then they can stand on the world stage.

Thinking of this, Li Qiao looked at the small waist in the distance again, and thought: "Champion of the AFC Champions League, here I come."
