Iron Man on the pitch

Although in the training game, the substitute team tied the main team with the club's tactics with a group of players from Sporting Lisbon, this behavior that goes against the head coach is destined to not get a good end.

This national team training camp was prepared for an international friendly match on August 13. This game was also familiar to everyone in the national team, and will face Denmark and Hungary on September 6 and 10. Get ready for two World Cup qualifiers.

The opponent in this friendly match was in the famous "Royce takes you to see the world" program. In addition to Svensson, another relatively famous country, Liechtenstein.

Queros' punishment is that as the core tactical figure of the "Sports Sports Gang", Li Ling sat on the bench in this warm-up match.

And Queros also used his skills. Among the young men from Sporting Lisbon, Joao Moutinho, Miguel Veroso, and even Rui Patricio got half of them. Playing time.

On the one hand, he tried to differentiate the "Sports Lisbon Gang" with this, because Queiros also found out that Li Ling is a naturalized player and may be unhappy with the local players; on the other hand, it is also Queiros' core array eye that discovered the "Sports Lisbon Gang" It was Li Ling. Li Ling was not on the court, and the remaining kids had to be obediently at their own mercy.

It just so happens that Li Ling can be used to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

So after Li Ling made a joke with his teammates from Sporting Lisbon, he chatted and laughed with Ronaldo, Pepe, Deco and others who had changed to rest in the second half.

Deco, who is also a naturalized player, has a faint affection for Li Ling, perhaps because of the same position; or perhaps because Deco's career in Barcelona or Chelsea, his experience is somewhat similar to that of Li Ling at this moment; of course, Perhaps it is the simple support of seniors to juniors. In short, Deke is very friendly to Li Ling.

But no matter the atmosphere between the players, the results of this warm-up match were not satisfactory.

Facing the weak Liechtenstein, the Portuguese team still has not achieved tactical success. However, relying on the players' personal abilities, they scored one goal in the two set-piece chaos, and combined with a world wave produced by Ronaldo's tireless long-range shot lottery, the Portuguese team finally scored three :0 defeated Liechtenstein.

After the game, the national team was disbanded because the new season of major European leagues was about to be opened. Some leagues that started earlier have even finished one round of the game.

However, some players from the club, under the organization of a dedicated person, launched a dinner at a famous seafood restaurant in Lisbon on the night of the disbandment of the national team.

"Wow, Louis!" Li Ling looked at Louis Figo in casual outfit and gave him a warm hug.

Figo has retired, so he naturally has the energy to care about Li Ling who has worked hard to join the Portuguese national team. He is also the one who is interested in organizing this dinner.

"Hehe! Be gentle!" Figo smiled exaggeratedly, then pressed Li Ling to the seat, and then he looked at Ronaldo who was sitting at one end of the long table with pride, "How about it, the little brother I've recruited , isn't it? ”

Ronaldo gave a thumbs up.

Although Li Ling was targeted by Queros in a friendly match and did not get playing time, he has been recognized by Ronaldo just because of the previous solo team match and his usual training performance.

"I think Li Ling can take on the midfielder of Portugal, and he doesn't even need to wait for the future." Although Ronaldo is so confident that he can be said to be conceited, he is still very happy to be able to get the support of his strong teammates.

Joao Moutinho and others from the "Sports Sports Lisbon Gang" who came with them took their seats one after another. Everyone was very excited to be able to come to such a famous restaurant where there was no seat without reservations thanks to Ronaldo's face.

Soon, two more figures came, including Coentrand of Benfica and Raul Mereles of Porto.

Figo came to the seat and hosted the dinner: "Ahem, everyone is here. Let's have a meal first, and then talk about football. Don't worry, it's not an exaggeration."

Li Ling looked at it and saw that one end of the long table was some members of the national team in this period, and the other end of the long table was also familiar faces. Several members of the Portuguese Golden Generation seemed to have a better personal relationship with Figo. .

However, when it comes to Portugal's golden generation, Li Ling felt a little ashamed. After all, this life was because of the foresight, and he could live a prosperous life because he bet on Greece in the 2004 European Cup held by Portugal. And in the finalThe one who lost to Greece was Portugal.

The delicacies such as Portuguese grilled sardines, stewed cod, paella were served one by the waiter. Everyone was not polite and started to feast on them.

Among them, Ronaldo raised the vegetable juice in front of him and specifically paid tribute to Li Ling who was drinking lemon juice, as if expressing his mutual appreciation with the only two people who did not drink on the table.

After eating almost the same food, Figo cleared his throat and said to everyone in a relaxed tone: "I watched the national team game and performed very stably, as always."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

"Chris is my little brother, and you guys are the same, but I have never played with you." Figo looked at Li Ling and others, and these words caused everyone to laugh happily.

"It is said that after the golden generation retreated, Portugal fell into a state of disagreement. But I don't think this is the case. You are all young people with great potential, and the future is unlimited. There are players like Chris as your role models and captains. , maybe you will achieve something that surpasses us."

"But the national team is indeed at a low point now. Everyone understands the reason." Figo changed the subject, "We old bones will find ways to clear the obstacles to progress for you, but before that, you must Behave professionally enough that people cannot find fault."

"I understand." "I understand."

"Anyway, don't put conflicts on the surface. At the same time, you must grow up as soon as possible in your daily training and competitions. The more wonderful you perform, the greater the support we can provide to you. Don't worry. , there are still opportunities in the future, and everything is based on entering the 2010 World Cup. "Figo glanced at Li Ling, "Don't care too much about being wronged now, maybe it will dawn soon."
