There is a belief called football

Chapter 90 A Group of Star Teammates

On Saturday night, Guangzhou Tianbao played against a team from Tianjin.

In order to welcome Li Qiao, Stan deliberately put him in the 18-man roster. Of course, whether he will play or not, Stan still depends on Li Qiao's situation. After all, if his physical condition does not meet the requirements of the game and he enters the field rashly and ends up injured, then the loss outweighs the gain.

Because of the evening game, Stan did not arrange training that day. The players found their own physical therapists in the gym, or did some weight training, or massaged.

Li Qiao deliberately came to the gym of the training base to meet his teammates.

"Joe",
"Li Qiao",
Qi Bing shouted one after the other.

In fact, thanks to the Internet age, the friends of those years have kept in touch for so many years, but they rarely meet each other.

Now Qi Bing has really grown into a right back. Although he did not realize his wish to play football in the Netherlands, given time, there is still hope for entering the national team.

And the fat Qi rate has also become an excellent goalkeeper. Although he has not become a goalkeeper like Chilavert (no free kick), but in terms of height and weight, Qi rate is a bit like Chilavert.

After greeting the two "Fa Xiao", Li Qiao glanced around, trying to find Recoba, but he couldn't find him.

So Li Qiao asked Qi Bing in a low voice, "Where is Recoba?"
"Practicing free kicks on the training ground."

"At his level, he needs to practice more"?
Li Qiao couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it, Jin's left foot was not born. Without hard training, how could Recoba's left foot be so good?

Qi Bing said: "Recoba's 200 free-kick training every day is unshakable, even in typhoon days, he will practice the same."

"Wow", Li Qiao finally saw "how a star is made".

After not seeing Recoba, Li Qiao was still a little bit disappointed, but then he saw his other idol—Sun Jihai.

I saw that Sun Jihai was doing leg strength training at this time, and Li Qiao didn't dare to disturb him, but when Li Qiao was peeking at Sun Jihai, Jihai had already seen Li Qiao, and he nodded friendly to Li Qiao.

Li Qiao thought: "The bigger the brand, the better the person."

Li Qiao also nodded to Sun Jihai.

Now Guangzhou Tianbao is a bit of an "international Tianbao". There are players from various countries, so the common language is English. Fortunately, the education of Tianbao Football School is international.

At this time, the team's No. 14, the Brazilian star "Gabriel" came over.

"Hi, you are Li Qiao",
Li Qiao was very excited. It was the first time he saw a big name worth more than [-] million euros, so he quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Hello".

"I've heard about you, well`done, very individual."

Li Qiao thought to himself that it must be the matter of his refusal to sign with Dynamo Kiev, the damn Internet, it really can't hide anything now.

Li Qiao hehe, hehe, he laughed awkwardly.

After saying hello, Gabriel went to the massage room.

Then, Li Qiao saw a tall man who was at least two heads taller than the other people in the room. Needless to say, he knew that he was the Swedish national "Isaacson".

Maybe it's because the Nordic people are quite indifferent. He didn't say hello to Li Qiao, but jogged on the treadmill while listening to music.

Of course, it was even more impossible for Li Qiao to disturb him.

But what also surprised Li Qiao was that the Iranian "Nei Ke Nan" who he thought was difficult to get along with was very lively.

Li Qiao once watched Nei Ke Nan compete on TV. His style is tough and hot-tempered, but Nei Ke Nan is very easy to get along with in private. He chatted with Li Qiao as soon as they met for the first time, like Li Qiao's big brother.

He kept saying "beer", originally he wanted to lure Li Qiao, Qi Qi, and Qi Bing to drink. Later, Qi Bing told Li Qiao in a low voice, don't go drinking with Nei Ke Nan.

But Li Qiao likes bold people. Although it was the first time he met him, when he saw the big Iranian man in front of him, Li Qiao readily agreed.

Everyone else, Li Qiao, just nodded. There is one special thing, that is, his "mortal enemy" Hassler back then, but time has passed, and now Hassler is very friendly when he sees Li Qiao. The Germans are like this. They used to fight with you because they were opponents, but now they are teammates. Of course, there is no need.

It is a characteristic of the Germans to distinguish between public and private.

After greeting his teammates one by one, Li Qiao still couldn't forget one person, and that was Recoba.

Li Qiao remembers watching Serie A broadcasts with his father when he was a child. When watching Inter Milan, Recoba’s free kick refers to where to hit. Li Qiao even felt that Recoba’s free kick would not lose to Beckham.

At that time, Inter Milan, a Recoba, a Mikhailovich, a left-footed free kick made any team frightened.

Among them, when Uncle Miha was still in Lazio, in the 98/99 season, Mihajnovic scored 3 direct free kicks in the Serie A match between Lazio and Sampdoria, creating an unprecedented record.

Recoba's famous goal was his first game when he joined Inter Milan, the savior of a super arc free kick at the last moment, and that goal also made Recoba famous.

At this time, I can see my childhood idol face to face, and even fight side by side. That feeling is like a dream.

*****
After leaving the gym, Li Qiao walked towards the training ground. After walking a few steps, he heard huge cheers coming from the direction of the training ground.

"what's the situation"?Li Qiao thought.

So I trotted over, and when I got closer, I found that the small training ground was surrounded by fans, some wearing Inter Milan jerseys, some wearing Uruguay national team jerseys, but the same name "Recoba" was written on the back of their jerseys.

According to Li Qiao's visual inspection, there are estimated to be 200 people, and Li Qiao found that it is impossible for him to meet his idol now, because in order to ensure safety, there are more than 10 security guards on site.

When Li Qiao saw Recoba kicking in the training ground, the fans on the sidelines cheered, and what was even more exaggerated was that many female fans even screamed.

Most people shouted: "Recoba I love you".

Of course, some people shouted, Chinese boy, that is Recoba's nickname.

Today Li Qiao finally saw what a superstar is!
The treatment of superstars is of course different. Now, besides a goalkeeper to accompany the training, there is also a person who specializes in setting the ball.

Recoba also basically hit the ball with no misses, and the curve ball kicked with his left foot was basically unsolvable, going straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Looking at it, Li Qiao found the problem, that is, Recoba's free kicks are generally similar to Beckham's. They both kicked a large arc, bypassed the wall, and drilled into the goal.

The difference is that when Beckham takes the penalty, he needs to rely on a huge body swing, which is very difficult. This is also the reason why no one has learned the Beckham arc so far.

Looking at Recoba again, when he took the penalty, the swing of his legs was not so exaggerated.

What was in Li Qiao's mind at this time?
That is to want to learn!
Although Li Qiao's fallen leaf free kick has been practiced very well, there is a flaw in this kind of free kick, that is, it must be 25 to 30 meters away from the goal, and the effect is the best. If it is too close, the ball has no room to fall.

And Recoba's free kick can be played very close.

Back then, Li Qiao didn't learn the Bay-style arc because his left knee couldn't bear the pressure brought by such a huge body distortion, but now watching Recoba's free kick, it's almost like lifting a heavy weight.

Li Qiao had the urge to learn this kind of free kick again. He wanted to learn two kinds of free kicks: leaf kick and curve kick.

Just when Li Qiao was making wishful thinking in his mind, another burst of cheers brought Li Qiao back to reality. Yes, there was a beautiful goal, another loud cry, even a training session. I don’t know how hot the game will be tonight. At this time, Li Qiao felt the vision of the team owner. Although a Recoba needs 400 million annual salary, the popularity he brings is extraordinary.

"I hope that one day countless people will watch my training and become my fans," Li Qiao thought.

Li Qiao didn't stay to watch Recoba cast his "full moon scimitar", but turned and left.

*****
But in the evening game, Recoba did not start. Stan’s goal is the AFC Champions League. A good gun like Recoba usually only stays in the AFC starter. In the league, Recoba played for more than ten minutes in the second half, which made the fans enjoy themselves and felt that the ticket money was not wasted.

Recoba was replaced by the Korean "Park Han-sung", and the other player who did not start was the right back "Sun Jihai". Jihai had a little injury. To be on the safe side, Stan used the right back "Qi Bing" as a substitute.

The game was played very smoothly, in front of the midfield guarded by the two strong players in Asia, "Nei Ke Nan" and "Jeparov".

It is basically difficult for the Tianjin team to pass halftime, let alone organize a decent offense.

Soon, Gudjohnsen scored twice and Guangzhou Tianbao took a 2-0 lead.

After taking the lead, his strength became more relaxed, and Jeparov, like Iniesta, played "fried meatballs".

The fans cheered in unison and gave warm applause to Jeparov's exquisite movements.

The first half ended in a relaxed and happy manner. Li Qiao now understands why Guangzhou Tianbao's home stadium is full. In such a situation, it feels really cool to be a Guangzhou Tianbao fan.

In the 25th minute of the second half, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Stan decided to make a substitution. He asked his assistant and the team's assistant coach, "Pekovic" who was also from Serbia, to submit a substitution application to the fourth official.

In the past, as soon as the fans saw Pekovic coming out in the second half, they knew that Recoba was going to play. At this time, there were deafening shouts from the audience-"Recoba, Recoba, Recoba".

But not this time, everyone saw a young kid who had never seen him before, and no one even knew his name, so the fans started booing Stan, and the boos were deafening.

It wasn't until Recoba got up to appease the fans that the boos gradually subsided.
