There is a dream called football

Chapter 250 Going to Holland

The plane landed at Amsterdam Airport, but the Dutch World Youth Championships are all held in some small cities.

You must know that the Netherlands is a very small country, and the small cities in the Netherlands are even smaller, with many stadiums with more than 1 people.

This is also the image of the Netherlands, especially in football, through the World Youth Championship. The Netherlands is one of the strongest football countries in the world.

After walking out of the airport, the person who picked up the national team arrived. He was a middle-aged man. Li Qiao didn't know him, so he shouldn't be an old national footballer.

"What's your name?"

"Xu Jie."

"Director Xu."

After getting into the car, Li Qiao asked, "What's the arrangement this time? Will there be a warm-up match?"

"There is no warm-up match, time is running out, and now we are preparing for the first match against Turkey, which is a strong European team, and the game will be very difficult."

Chinese fans' impression of Turkish football comes from the 2002 World Cup, which shocked many Chinese fans. It turns out that Turkish football is so good.

Turkey is not a European country, but this country plays football in a European style, much like Germany, with domineering, fast speed, great confrontation and tenacious style.

"Have all the teammates arrived?"

"It's all here, you're the only one missing."

"Ha ha."

Director Xu said: "That... the team wants you to make a report and tell everyone how it feels to win the Champions League."

"Haha, then there's no need."

"Yes, that's the Champions League champion. How many people dream of it. Apart from the World Cup, the Champions League champion has the most gold content."

"Haha, that's fine, but I can't report it. It's okay for everyone to chat."

"That's fine."

When I came to the team, I didn't expect my teammates to greet me in the hotel lobby, which was unexpected.

"Welcome, welcome."

Gao Lin was oncoming.

Li Qiaohan, Gao Lin was still very young at this time, and behind him was Feng Xiaoting.

"You guys are going too far, mocking me."

"You are the champion of the Champions League, here is your biggest card, so let's take a look at the medal."

"Hehe, I didn't bring it. I'm here to play in the World Youth Championship. Of course I have to bring something back. How could I bring something here?"

"Ha ha."

Looking at these teammates, Li Qiao was a little moved. Many of them were the pillars of the Chinese team later, Hao Junmin, Gao Lin, Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Xuri.

Of course, some of them became silent later, such as Chen Tao, and Dong Fangzhuo.

At this moment Kraushen came, he and Li Qiao briefly greeted and left, and then the Chinese coaching staff came to assign tasks, and the training in the afternoon was a team practice, and everyone was present.

*****
Li Qiao wore No. 10. During the Asian Youth Championship last year, No. 10 was worn by Chen Tao, but now that Li Qiao is too famous, this Chen Tao is embarrassed to wear No. 10 again, and the captain of the team is also Li Qiao.

Li Qiao didn't refuse, after all, the captain is responsible, and he has to stand up and carry the team forward.

Krautchen asked Li Qiao to train alone for the first half hour, and he fed the ball himself. This is the strictness of German coaches. The season has just ended, and the players are at their most fatigued. If they play rashly, they might get injured.

"Take your time, you are the most special, I can give you time."

Li Qiao also knew this and had to take his time. He was excited to come to the Netherlands, but his body was indeed tired.

After half an hour, Kraushen felt that Li Qiao was almost done, so he asked him to practice with his teammates.

Krautchen's formation is 4231, Gao Lin is a lone striker, and beside him are two wingers, Li Qiao and Lei Wen.

"Li Qiao is finally here."

At this time, the Chinese players saw Li Qiao, just like the Argentine players saw Messi later, and felt that the pillar was coming.

The first time I practiced with Li Qiao, the feeling of excitement was beyond words, and the teammates also performed very hard.

But soon, Clausen discovered the problem, that is, Li Qiao's football awareness is much higher than that of his teammates.

This problem is the problem of the Argentine national team later, that is, Messi's football awareness is much higher than that of his teammates, so Messi's performance in the club is very good, but in the national team, he is so-so. In fact, it is the relationship between his teammates.

For example, Li Qiao made a subtle through pass several times, but Gao Lin didn't run away, but waited in place.

There may be more passes at the foot of the domestic league, but there will be more passes in the European league that require pre-judgment.

That is to say, the opponent cannot be guessed, and that is the threat. In a word, the lead in a football game is the lead in consciousness. Only one step faster in the brain can be one step faster on the court.

Li Qiao couldn't yell at his teammates on the first day, but he still waved, "Gao Lin, you have to run."

"If I pass it to my feet, you will be kicked."

Gao Lin nodded.

Then Li Qiao passed the ball, Gao Lin ran up ahead of time and shot the goal, and the goal was scored.

Everyone applauds.

Gao Lin is also a little proud.

But Clausen could see that the ball was offside during the game. After all, Gao Lin still couldn't guess the timing of Li Qiao's pass.

However, Kraushen didn't ask for blame. After all, if Gao Lin can grasp the timing of passing and running, then he should have gone to play in Europe.

The main left back of the Chinese team is Zheng Tao. At this time, he is defending Li Qiao. Li Qiao passed Gao Lin several times, but the latter didn't seize the opportunity. Li Qiao is ready to do it alone and show off his skills.

With his right foot dangling, Zheng Tao mistakenly thought that Li Qiao was about to pass the ball, but at this moment, Li Qiao stepped forward with his left foot and walked to the sideline.

This was unexpected, Li Qiao quickly cut to the bottom line, "Do you want to pass the ball to Gao Lin?"

Li Qiao hesitated a little, after all, Gao Lin seemed to be wasting opportunities, so Li Qiao cut into the penalty area by himself.

At this moment, Feng Xiaoting quickly made up. Li Qiao was waiting for Feng Xiaoting to make a move first. Sure enough, Feng Xiaoting was still inexperienced. He tackled the ball, and this was what Li Qiao wanted to see most. He dunked the sole of his foot, and then it was one-on-one with the goalkeeper. When Li Qiao scored the ball, his teammates applauded.

"A star is a star, beautiful."

"We have Li Qiao, who is invincible in Asia."

"Why is Asia Invincible? We can also think about the World Cup."

"next year?"

At this time, Clausen in the distance is also very happy. Even if the cooperation temporarily fails to meet his expectations, Li Qiao's ability is still very threatening in the World Youth Championship.

He said to the Chinese coach: "Call out the Turkish game video, and I will use it for the tactical class in the afternoon."

"it is good."

Krautchen is already looking forward to the first match against Turkey, and his goal is to have at least one draw, so that he can compete for the right to qualify later.

But the good news is that there are 24 teams participating in the World Youth Championship, so the third place in the group is also possible.
