There is a dream called football

Chapter 324 The Living Fossil of the Club

During the intermission, the masseur was giving Li Qiao a massage. In the picture, there was a transparent ointment with a mint scent.

"Does it hurt?"

"Pain and happiness."

This is the feeling of massage, especially the therapist is very professional, their massage is deep into the muscles.

"Your body is already very tired."

After becoming a professional player, Li Qiao knew the hard work of the players.

The year before last was the Asian Cup, last year was the World Youth Championship, today is the World Cup, next year is the Asian Cup, and the year after that is the Olympic Games.

It is almost impossible for Li Qiao to rest for a season, unless he does not participate in the national team competition, but that is impossible.

"I can't help it, there are too many games."

"But you still have to pay attention, after all, your body is your own."

"thank you, I know now."

Wenger is of course a little worried about this situation. He doesn't want to see overtime at the end. It is best to settle the battle in 90 minutes. Of course, it may be resolved by the opponent.

"Our set-piece tactics in the second half must change."

"Use the set-piece tactics in training."

"Yes!"

Wenger nodded.

"It is also necessary not to give the opponent too many long-range shots in front of the penalty area, especially Nedved."

"Ah."

"And Vieira, he also had a kick in front of the penalty area."

When Capello was arranging tactics, there was a lot of noise outside the door.

"I'm not causing trouble. I'm 65. I've watched Juventus all my life. Now is the most difficult time for the team. I want to say a few words to them."

Capello opened the locker room door.

"what happened?"

I saw two security guards in green coats turning an old man away.

"Nothing, a rioting fan."

"I'm not a troublemaker, I've watched Juventus all my life, and I'm going to tell the kids that I believe the club doesn't play match-fixing."

"Shut up, we can throw you to the police."

"Wait a minute."

Capello walked over, "Let him go, he is so old, what threat can he have?"

"it is good."

"Thank you, Fabio."

"Have you really watched Juventus all your life?"

"Yes."

"In 1976, when we won the UEFA Cup, who was the head coach?"

"Haha, this is too simple, Trapattoni."

"sure."

Capello also chuckled, to be honest, he himself forgot.

"When will Juventus win their 20th Serie A title?"

"Let me think."

"By the way, it's 1984."

"How do you remember it so clearly?"

"Because a year later, in 1985, we beat Liverpool and won the Champions League for the first time. I watched that game."

"Hahaha, you are amazing."

Capello waved his hand and signaled the security guard to leave, "Let's go, come and meet the players with me."

This is a living history of the club.

*****
"Who is the greatest defender in the history of Juventus?"

The old man thought about it.

"Gatano Cirea."

"What about the midfield?"

"Son, are you sure you want to ask such a stupid question?"

"Of course Platini."

"Oh, how did I forget that."

It was wonderful for these young men to see a living history of the club standing before them.

"When did we move to the Alpi Stadium?"

"1990, the year of the World Cup, kids, don't you all study history?"

"I was only 5 years old at that time, and I didn't understand anything at all."

"Hahaha."

The players chatted happily with the old man, and they also remembered a lot of things from their childhood. In fact, everyone was also a fan when they were young. The kind that their father took to watch the game, but many memories are blurred, but in the process of chatting with the old man, many things came to mind.

"So, boys, what I want to tell you is that Juventus is a team with a great history. We will not play match-fixing. A team that does match-fixing cannot win so many games."

"That bastard Moggi must have done it himself, maybe he contacted the referee, but that's his own business and has nothing to do with the club."

In fact, the players are not good at talking about this. Moggi used to be a member of the club's board of directors. This... It is reasonable to say that he represents the club. Of course, he may have made his own claims. From the perspective of Juventus fans, the club belongs to the team and has nothing to do with the high-level. This is the entire Italian Juventus, so they are very angry and feel that the club's high-level has failed them.

"What I want to tell you is that our fans will always love the players and the club. After driving away those moths, we are still the overlord of Italy."

"Thank you." Ibrahimovic immediately took off his jersey and handed it to the old man.

"Let's all sign the old man."

"Ok."

Finally, holding the jersey and everyone's signatures, the old man left satisfied.

*****
In the stands, a silver-haired old man is watching everything, he is Lippi.

From 1994 to 2004, Lippi was the head coach of Juventus for ten years. After leaving the club, he became the head coach of the Italian national team.

Juventus has many Italian internationals, and whether these internationals can help Italy achieve good results this summer is what Lippi is most worried about. The Calciopoli scandal seems to have inevitably affected the entire Italian football.

Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Buffon, these are the main players of the Italian national team.

In fact, what Lippi is most afraid of is that the players themselves will be involved. If it is just a club, then it is okay. Lippi has been coaching in Italy for a long time, and he still has a little understanding of the situation of the Football Association. The Italian Football Association does have many problems.

But that's not something he needs to worry about, he has already decided to leave the national team after the World Cup, so this is his last coaching in Italy.

At this moment, the live camera lingered on Lippi's body for a long time, as if he was talking in a silent language.

"Is the national team okay?"

You must know that last time in South Korea, the Italian team was disgracefully eliminated, so domestic expectations for Lippi are quite high this time.

Li Qiao saw Lippi in the stands and smiled knowingly, because this old man is likely to become the head coach of the Chinese team in the future, and I hope we can cooperate together at that time.

But at that time, Li Qiao's career was also at the late stage, but he was still looking forward to it. After all, this is a world-class coach, and he can still learn a lot from cooperating with him.

In the shouts of Juventus, Juventus, the second half is about to start, and the players on both sides are also ready.
