There is a dream called football

Chapter 49
"Li Qiao, will we be treated as lunatics like this?"

Dada, who was wearing two down jackets, touched the clothes on his body and felt like an idiot.

"Isn't Fabio specially trained? Why don't you let us go."

Li Qiao patted the down jacket on his body, "I didn't let myself go, are you sure you still want to complain?"

Lei Wen, Li Qiao, Fabio, Dada four "Michelin" tires are playing extremely bloated football, the Portuguese passing by will look sideways, and after confirming that these four people are "abnormal", they drag their children and leave in a hurry.

Fabio held the ball, Li Qiao compressed the defense, and Fabio protected the ball. The latter stretched his legs a few times, but failed to touch the ball. He leaned on Fabio, and the two fell to the ground at the same time.

"Li Qiao, this action is a bit big."

"It's okay, we all wear soft-soled shoes, even if we move a bit more, we won't get hurt, what are we afraid of?"

"Li Qiao, I've been thinking recently, are the methods you came up with useful? Can they really help me?"

Li Qiao didn't know about this, but he couldn't show his timidity, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, it must be useful. I learned it from Saki."

Fabio was beating his heart, but since he was determined to change, he had to stick to it, even if the path was wrong.

Training continues.

The ball Raven passed to Fabio was a little too big and turned into a knife-mounted ball that pitted his teammates. This kind of ball happened to be between the two.

If you don't grab it, you lose the ball.

If you try to grab it, you will be kicked.

In the 2002 World Cup quarter-final match between Brazil and England, England conceded the first goal.

Facing Carlos' ferocious tackle, Beckham jumped up to hide, but unexpectedly gave Brazil a chance to counterattack and lost the ball.

Dada has already made a tackle. If it was Fabio in the past, this kind of ball must have been conceded.

But this time...

Fabio went up to meet him, and also lit up the soles of his shoes, confronting Dada head-on.

Ah sound.

Fabio clutched his ankle, his forehead pressed to the ground, looking very painful.

"Fabio."

Li Qiao came over to check on Fabio's situation.

"How? No... just stop."

Dada looked ashamed, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't do it on purpose."

Li Qiao patted him, "I don't blame you, as a defensive player, you must kick out this time."

At this moment, Fabio sat up, "It really hurts. Fortunately, we are not wearing football shoes, or my leg may really be broken."

"Hehe, Fabio, what you did just now was really brave."

"Hehe, I didn't have the courage to stretch out such a kick. To be honest, in a real game, this kick may cause me to be injured for 3 months."

Li Qiao said with a smile: "But if you don't stretch out that kick, you can only play in the Portuguese First Division forever."

Fabio nodded, "Thank you, Li Qiao, and you, Gustavo."

*****
Raven came for three days and Valle just threw him in the team as if he was already part of the B team.

Everything is tested by actual combat, which is the philosophy of European football.

The assistant coach came over with a tactical book, "You have been quite peaceful these two weeks."

Because of the national team match day, Porto got a two-week respite. I thought that the head coach would practice desperately after losing the game, but it didn't, but it was training as usual.

"You look at this?"

"what?"

Gomez took a few photos from Valle and laughed, "What are these guys doing? They are wearing down jackets in this weather, and what are they wearing? Bulletproof vests?"

After laughing, Gomez said seriously, "Where did this photo come from?"

"Hehe, good man, I'm the head coach, I can't be like you, do you think my daily work is a few hours on the training ground?"

"Could it be that you still monitor the lives of players?"

"Of course, I also need to know their spare time, because it is directly related to the state on the court."

"It's impossible for a player who is always in nightclubs to play well."

There are too many examples of this, from George Best to Romario, and later Ronaldinho, if they can go to nightclubs and drink less, then their football careers will definitely be more exciting.

"No wonder you are so calm, that's why."

"Yes, the players have made changes. I don't need to scold them anymore. I just need to train normally."

Gomez changed the subject, "Do you want to stay with that man named Raven?"

Valle paused and said: "He is different from Li Qiao. He lacks confidence and arrogance on the court. Perhaps it has something to do with his growth environment."

"But I think he's good."

Valle nodded, "Let him come to my office after training, we need to chat."

"it is good."

*****
Li Qiao and Lei Wen sat across from Valle, and a contract was placed on the table.

Lei Wen said: "Boss, should I ask Uncle Sosa, he is my manager."

Valle smiled slightly and said, "I don't think that's necessary, do you trust Li Qiao?"

Raven nodded.

"Li Qiao, do you believe me?"

Li Qiao also nodded.

"That's fine, I guarantee that this contract is not tricky."

Valle pushed the contract in front of Raven, "This is a trial contract. I can't give you a full-salary contract yet. I can only offer you a trial contract with a monthly salary of 2000 euros. The deadline is before the winter break."

Lei Wen touched the contract in front of him and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm willing even if I don't pay, as long as there is a ball to play."

"Well."

Valle handed Raven a pen, "Sign your name, you will be a member of the Porto B team in the future, and then choose a number."

Lei Wen signed his name, and there were not many numbers left to choose from. Lei Wen could only choose among the large numbers.

"Number 37."

"OK."

"I'll give you a piece of advice, learn Portuguese as soon as possible."

"I will teach him." Li Qiao smiled.

On Friday, as usual, Valle will announce the squad and the starting lineup on this day, which is based on the performance of a week of training.

Whoever is in good shape will play.

In terms of the starting list, it is the same as the starting lineup of the last away game loss, and there are more changes in the substitute lineup.

Valle took away 5 players who entered the squad in the previous game, and one of the newcomers to the squad is Raven.

"I substitute?"

When Valle read his name, Lei Wen couldn't help but be happy. It stands to reason that he performed quite well during training, and he didn't perform particularly well, but he just completed the training requirements.

But what Lei Wen didn't know was that the reason why he was selected was because Valle saw the photos of him and Li Qiao's special training.

No matter where, attitude determines that everything is the truth.
