There is a dream called football

Chapter 46 The Honeymoon and the Crisis

George Sampaio Stadium.

This is the home court of the Porto B team. Compared with the famous Dragon Stadium, it looks miniature.

This is the first time Porto has played at home this season against Madeira United.

Li Qiao started this game and replaced the Brazilian Charles as the right winger.

The game was a bit tough. Facing Porto, the opponent still put up an iron bucket formation, and the ball possession rate even fell to 18% in the first half.

At about 60 minutes into the second half, when the game was delayed, Li Qiao got rid of the defense in front of the penalty area and then made a fake shot, passing the ball to Dada who was plugging in from the side.

Madeira United has carried out man-to-man defense against Porto's several offensive players, but it is certainly impossible to send someone to stare at the opponent's right back.

Dada Gustavo rushed up to meet the ball and shot it furiously, and the ball flew straight into the near corner of the goal.

1 is better than 0!

This is Porto's first goal at home this season and Dada's first career goal.

The head coach Valle on the sidelines raised his arms and shouted. He grabbed Gomez's hand, "Did you see that this is the football I want, and this is how I should play the game."

Valle rubbed his fingers, as if sprinkled with magic powder, "Li Qiao and Gustavo have formed a tacit understanding on the right side, it's wonderful."

In the third round of the away game against Portimance, Porto finally broke out this time, beating the opponent with 4 goals, and Li Qiao also scored his first goal since joining.

In this game, Fabio was alive, as if Deco of the first team lent him his right foot, and sent through balls that penetrated the opponent's defense many times in the game.

And Li Qiao's attack on the wing is still so sharp.

Just when Valle couldn't help but feel that everything was under control, in the fourth round, Porto faced Aves at home, and Porto tied their opponents 0-0. What was even uglier than the draw was Porto's data in this game-the number of shots within the goal frame was zero.

After the game, George Sampaio booed sporadicly for the first time this season. Obviously, some fans were quite dissatisfied with the result of the game.

Prosperity will make people forget about it. In fact, assistant coach Gomez has already seen the problem. Avis obviously carefully analyzed the first three games of Porto and made targeted arrangements. In this game, heavy troops were arranged on the left to suffocate Li Qiao.

This is also the worst game Li Qiao played, the statistics of the whole game are ugly, and Valle is obviously unwilling to admit this, he thinks it was just an accident, the children are tired.

All this did not wake up like a dream until Porto lost 0 to 3 in the fifth round away game with Oliverense.

In this game, Valle changed three people in a row in the second half, replacing Li Qiao, Fabio and striker Ivanierdo.

This is also the first time that Li Qiao was replaced without playing the whole game. This feeling is a bit bitter.

Back in Porto, it was as if there was a dark cloud over the Gaya training center and everyone's faces were covered in frost.

It was not just the game that was lost, but the scene. What Valle was angry with was not the score of 0 to 3, but the inability to create threatening offensive opportunities in the game.

However, Valle did not criticize the players, but gave everyone a day off on Monday, and started intensive training from Tuesday.

*****
In the Seagull restaurant, Sosa finds his daughter who is cleaning the table.

"Lorinda, today you have to give Li Qiao a little bit. He must be in a bad mood. Porto experienced a disastrous defeat over the weekend."

Sosa stretched out three chubby fingers, "0 to 3, it's too miserable, I'm going to cry."

Lorinda chuckled, "Do you think I'm a particularly bad person? Don't worry, I will definitely smile when I see Li Qiao today."

"Haha, great, my good daughter."

In the room, Li Qiao kept thinking about the recent games. The opponent has indeed strengthened their defense, but the problem is that the defense in Europe has always been very strong.

Is it possible that I have this little ability?The opponent strengthened the defense, so he stopped cooking?
Can't figure it out.

I don't understand.

Li Qiao opened MSN, hoping to contact Saki and ask for advice.

After sending a message, Li Qiao waited for 5 minutes with anxiety, but there was no response.

sweat.

"It seems that I think too much. How can a busy person like Saki remember such a small person like me."

Just when Li Qiao was about to close the chat window.

Den den den.

A message sounded.

Lee-joo is overjoyed, and Saki speaks back.

"what's up?"

"Arrigo, are you busy? I want to ask you something."

"First of all, you should call me old man, and secondly, talk about it."

Li Qiao described it for a long time, and Saki was confused.

"Son, I don't understand what you want to say, how about this, we can make a video, and you explain it to me."

video?

Li Qiao was flattered.

In fact, what Li Qiao didn't know was that the bigger the coach in Europe, the better the players. In Ferguson's memoirs, he commented on several opponents, Benix and Mourinho. Among them, Ferguson took a look at Mourinho the most. The reason turned out to be that he was very good to his players.

During the video connection, Li Qiao told Saki about his confusion.

"Old man, is it because my level is not good enough?"

Saki shook his head, "According to your description, this has nothing to do with you, it should be the midfielder's failure."

Li Qiao was confused.

"why?"

"The front midfielder's ball should be elusive, sometimes left, sometimes right, making the opponent dizzy, and since the opponent can block the left side with heavy troops, it proves that your team's offense has been figured out. How can such an offense be a threat?"

Li Qiao nodded.

Saki continued: "I have always described that the front midfielder must be a smart thief. He can't enter the house through the gate, but should climb the window. A stupid thief enters through the gate, so he must be blocked by the owner."

puff.

This metaphor is too vivid, and Li Qiao was amused.

"Then what should we do?"

Sacchi spread his hands, "There are two ways, either change the way of playing football, or change the person."

Li Qiao nodded, did he find the problem, or did it come from Fabio? Li Qiao had an idea, could he take this opportunity to introduce Lei Wen to Valle?
Li Qiao originally planned to recommend Lei Wen when he was qualified to speak after the team established himself, but now it seems that it is better to hit the sun than choose another day.

As soon as he said it, Li Qiao found Uncle Sosa, who was familiar with the club, and asked him to mention it first, and then he and Valle formally introduced Lei Wen, hoping to let Lei Wen play for the Porto B team.

Thinking of this, Li Qiao got goose bumps all over his body, and was very excited about the idea. If it comes true, he can play football with his good brothers again.
