There is a dream called football

Chapter 156 Watching the game with teammates
early morning.

The sleepy national team players got up one by one and appeared in the multimedia hall of the national team base.

This is the task Ali Han assigned - to watch the opening game of the European Cup.

Li Jinyu yawned and said, "What's so interesting about this? I want to watch the last round of the battle between Portugal and Spain at Tianwangshan. It's not safe to fight Greece."

Li Qiao smiled and said, "Brother Li, then guess the score."

Li Jinyu stretched out his rootless finger, "I think it's 5-0. The Portuguese team is very strong with Porto and Benfica as its team."

*** smiled and said: "Dayu, you are an amateur. Football is not just determined by your strength on paper."

Li Qiao turned his head and smiled, "Then how much does Brother Haidong think?"

"I think Portugal won 1-0, the opening game is not easy."

Like the previous life, many people guessed that Portugal would encounter difficulties, but few people could guess that Greece would overthrow Portugal.

In fact, Li Qiao didn't know what the result would be?The butterfly effect brought about by myself has changed many things, but there are also many things that have not changed because of this, and still follow the original track of history.

So let's watch the game.

When the game went on to 20 minutes, a different situation happened, and Portugal scored first.

Li Qiao remembered that Portugal conceded two first in the previous life, and finally scored an insignificant goal, but this time it was Portugal who scored first.

Figo fired a long-range shot in front of the penalty area. The Greek goalkeeper was caught off guard and the ball flew into the bottom corner of the goal.

After 10 minutes, Deco sent an unimaginable through pass, and forward Pauletta made a low shot in front of the goal and scored again.

2 to 0.

The first half was fixed at 2-0.

Li Qiao was dumbfounded, Li Jinyu smiled and said, "Haidong, who doesn't understand football now?"

*** looked embarrassed, Portugal played a little too easily.

At the beginning of the second half, Greece played some counterattacks, but to no avail, until the 70th minute, the Greek midfielder miraculously scored with a long shot.

Just when everyone thought it was a bad luck from Greece, 5 minutes later, striker Charisteas scored with a header from a corner kick.

At this time, the national football players watching the game were stunned and equalized.

And the Portuguese fans at the scene were stunned and stupid. What's wrong?Portugal in the second half seemed to have changed a team.

A bigger blow was yet to come. In the 86th minute, Greece made a quick counterattack. C, who returned to the defense, fouled in the penalty area and gave the opponent a penalty.

"It's over, it's over." Li Jinyu muttered.

*** said with a smile: "Da Yu, who doesn't understand football now?"

"Ha ha."

Goalkeeper Ricardo stands in front of the goal. He is the hope of the whole Portugal. The Greek kicker slowly runs up and pushes to the opposite corner of the goal at the last moment. Ricardo is helpless.

3 to 2.
Greece performed a great miracle.

"Portugal's progress is worrying." Someone said.

At this time, some people naturally think of the prospects of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup. In fact, it is very similar to Portugal. The host is the favorite to win the championship, will it?

Thinking of this, many people did not continue to think about it.

The final score was 3 to 2. The process was completely different from the previous life, but the result was the same. Greece overthrew Portugal.

"Li Qiao, Portugal is missing you." Li Jinyu laughed.

"I think so too. These are all from the Champions League, that is, Li Qiao is missing on the wing." *** teased.

"Hehe, two big brothers, don't laugh at me, can you?"

Li Qiao stood up and was about to go back to the room to sleep. At this moment, he stopped drinking with a sound from behind.

"stop."

"what?"

"What are you doing?"

"Go back to sleep."

Li Jinyu looked at his watch, "It's almost five o'clock."

"That……"

This is the bad thing about watching football in China. After watching it, you can’t be high enough or low enough, and you can’t sleep well.

"That's too early. Could it be that I'm going to train now?"

Li Jinyu came over and patted Li Qiao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You look like an honest boy at first glance, let's go, I'll take you to eat hot pot."

"What? Hot pot at five o'clock in the morning?"

"That's right, as long as I stay up late watching the game, I'll eat hot pot."

"That's too sinful."

Li Jinyu smiled and said: "Staying up late is already very sinful. Anyway, this sinful night will completely degenerate."

puff.

This is all nonsense.

But half an hour later, when Li Qiao, ***, and Li Jinyu were eating Lao Si Chuan hot pot, Li Qiao understood why Li Jinyu liked this one, it was really cool.

But *** is very awkward, he is still thinking about the game just now.

"Do you think this game is strange? Portugal, which is so good, seems to have changed into a different team."

"Hehe, this is football, as if we were inexplicably reversed by Qatar."

The next day, Alihan mentioned the opener after training.

"You all watched the opening game yesterday, it was a wonderful game, but the hosts lost."

Alihan deliberately emphasized that it is the host, not Portugal. The intention is very obvious, that is to remind his disciples of the prospects of the Asian Cup.

"In a month's time we will also play the opening game and at home we are in a similar situation to Portugal."

This is not to scare the players. Li Qiao remembers that the Chinese team's Asian Cup opening game in his previous life was stumbling. It seems to remember that it was 2 to 2. He was fought by the Bahraini until the last minute.

The players looked solemn, and thought that they would not encounter any difficulties before the semifinals, but from this point of view, many things were hard to say.

Since Portugal can lose to Greece, it is impossible for the Chinese team to lose to Bahrain.

"However, my goal is still the championship, and this has not changed."

"Yes."

*****
Alihan has not yet decided on the starting lineup of the national football team. At this time, the national football team is really talented, so there are still many choices.

Goalkeeper Liu Yunfei is fine, left back is Sun Xiang, there is no problem, central defender Zhang Yaokun occupies one position, Zheng Zhi is in the other, and Wei Xin is on the right.

The midfielders Sun Jihai and Shao Jiayi are likely to be separated on the two wings, but Li Jinyu and Li Yi are also available.

The midfielder is Zhao Junzhe, there is no problem, the striker has been determined, as long as they are not injured, it must be Li Qiao and ***.

This is Alihan's last big game in charge of the Chinese team. After the Asian Cup, his contract expires and he is about to leave.

As a coach, of course, he will compare himself with his peers. Seeing how successful his compatriot Guus Hiddink has been in South Korea, Alihan is envious.

He also wants to be that kind of person, because Alihan's ultimate dream is to coach the Dutch national team.

So he hopes to use the Asian Cup championship to open a perfect page for his future national team career.
