Football career: From winning the championship to becoming a legend

Julian, who missed Ricardo a little, did not work overtime in the laboratory tonight. Instead, she returned to her rented apartment early to watch the broadcast of the 36th round of La Liga.

Julian knew that if Barcelona won tonight, the boy would be able to win his second La Liga championship trophy. It was not until the 66th minute of the game that Julian finally saw the heartless man come on as a substitute.

When the game reached the 87th minute, Julian was still paying attention to her man's performance, and only heard the passionate commentary from the TV:

"Celta's attack... Jonathan's cross from the right..."

"Back post! Ah! Belletti heads the ball! Opportunity!"

"Oh! What a pity! The ball was hit hard by Pereira on the goal frame!"

"Edmilson fought for the ball and headed it out..."

"Li Qi retreats to receive the ball... a beautiful fake move to get rid of it!"

"Opportunity! Li Qi dodged Celta's tackle and counterattacked with the ball. At this time, Celta's defense was empty, and Barcelona was 3 against 3!"

"Li Qi rushed forward with the ball... passed the ball! Iniesta..."

"A beautiful wall pass! Iniesta sent the ball back to Li Qi!"

"This is a 2-on-2 pass that broke through Celta's defense and gave Li Qi a one-on-one chance!"

"The goalkeeper is out... Li Qi... pass the ball! Left side of the penalty area!"

"Eto'o, empty goal! Shoot with left foot!"

"Oh my God! There's no... Li Qi!"

"Ditch oooooh! Ditch oooooh! Ditch oooh!"

"Li Qi cleverly scored the goal!"

"Eto'o's left-footed shot from 8 yards in front of the goal on the left side of the penalty area was blocked by Contreras who was returning to defense on the goal line. The ball hit the post on the other side and bounced back into the penalty area..."

"Fortunately, Li Qi didn't stop and scored the ball into the empty goal before the goalkeeper made a save!"

……

After scoring the goal, Li Qi went straight to Eto'o to celebrate. Before the supplementary shot, Li Qi observed to see if he could send the ball back to Eto'o's feet, but the line and angle were too small. Li Qi, who had just used up his explosive moment, did not have time to think too much, and quickly put the 1000 euro goal bonus into his pocket first...

Eto'o, who was rubbing the boy's short blond hair, was also very understanding. After Li Qi came on the court, he had already fed him three cakes. He didn't expect that his appetite was not good today and he vomited! But he still scored a goal.

Shortly after Li Qi scored the goal, the referee blew the whistle to end the game, and Barcelona beat Celta 2-0 away.

But no one cared about the score anymore, the entire Barcelona team rushed into the stadium to celebrate winning the league title!

……

During the halftime break, at about 10 p.m., all the Barca members received a text message on their mobile phones at about the same time. The Barca club sent a message to all members: "This year, once again, we have become the league champions!"

"Champions! Champions!! Champions!!!" After the game, Barcelona fans went crazy, the Spanish media was also in an uproar, and the websites of major newspapers were all crazy about Barcelona, ​​just crazy about Barcelona's 18th La Liga championship trophy.

"Barcelona won the championship like all great teams... a team that loves to pursue honors has written another memorable page in the club's history." Barcelona's official website praised, "Now, Barcelona players will help Valdes and Eto'o compete for the best goalkeeper and top scorer. After defending the La Liga title, Barcelona's next big goal will only be the Champions League final in Paris."

When looking forward to the future of La Liga, El Mundo commented: "Barcelona is flying so high this season that a question naturally arises in people's hearts: How many years can this terrifying team dominate La Liga? Ronaldo, only 26 years old, has not yet reached his peak. People don't even have to worry about Barcelona's possible aging in a few years, because Messi is rising like the sun..."

"Mundo Deportivo" cheered loudly: "Barcelona has three rounds left in the league. Barcelona has successfully defended its title. The championship trophy is also the best reward for another great season for Barcelona... A great season, wonderful moments worth remembering. Before the end of the season, Barcelona only has one mission left, which is to win the UEFA Champions League to put a perfect end to this season. But the glory of this season is just the starting point. Barcelona still has many great achievements to achieve."

Even the Madrid media began to cheer for Barcelona. "Barcelona made their championship title more dazzling with a victory. Rijkaard's team is the most balanced team in La Liga, a perfect combination of talent and strength.

Barcelona's lineup is young and vigorous, with an infinite desire for the championship. They also have the style of play that fans need most: cheerful tactics, inspired football, and more emphasis on the use of personal skills rather than tactical constraints. Most importantly, the team is extremely united, and such a football victory deserves the applause of all fans.

With the 18th La Liga title in hand, thousands of Barcelona fans across Spain were able to enter a state of carnival. Real Madrid has been empty-handed for three consecutive years, but now no one cares about this unworthy superstar team anymore. ”

Not only AS, but also Marca, another sports newspaper in Madrid, praised Barcelona as a "3B team". The first B is "excellent" (Bueno). The team's results speak for themselves and others, and their football also makes themselves and others enjoyable.

The second B is "beautiful" (Bonito). Although Barcelona did not invent a new formation, its football had a strong sense of depth and created many scoring opportunities. In addition, Ronaldinho brought a very artistic football performance.

The third B is "good quality and low price" (barato). This season, Barcelona has hardly invested a penny in the transfer market, but the team continues the construction path after Rijkaard joined Barcelona. While other teams spend a lot of money in the transfer market in pursuit of star effects, Barcelona only loves those players who can perfectly integrate individuals into the team. Barcelona has a perfect combination of competition and economy.

"Hmm, 3B team, why do they feel like they are cursing?" The next day, Ricardo was not very satisfied when he went home and browsed the news online, because there were comments about him, but they were definitely not many...

However, compared to the crazy praise from the media, Barcelona players themselves and head coach Rijkaard seemed much calmer.

As one of the Dutch coaches who led Barcelona to nine league titles, Black Swan repeatedly stressed before and after the game: "Barcelona cannot be too happy."

In fact, even when Barcelona had already won the championship in the second half, the camera did not catch even a trace of smile on the Black Swan's face, because he knew there would be a European Champions League final in two weeks.

And that game, in a sense, was more important than today's championship.

不过赛后里杰卡尔德还是特意戴上一只蓝黑色箭条底的手表，用象征巴萨的颜色来庆祝球员和教练生涯的第31项冠军。继费尔南德斯(1947-49)、道奇克(1951-53)、埃雷拉(1958-60)、克鲁伊夫(1990-94)和范加尔(1997-99)之后，荷兰人也成为巴萨历史上第6位率队连续两年(或两年以上)赢得西甲冠军的主教练，已经足以进入俱乐部的名人堂。

But no matter what the head coach's attitude is, the team has won the league championship, and a celebration between the team and the fans must be arranged.

However, unlike last season, Barcelona's league championship celebrations this season will not last long because they still have the Champions League final on May 5.

After consultation with the club, Rijkaard has ordered: from this Thursday to this Sunday, the team can party to their heart's content, but starting from next Monday, all celebrations will stop and the team will begin to prepare for the 5-17 decisive battle.

Winning the league title nearly half a month before the Champions League final is undoubtedly good news for Barcelona in preparation for this crucial game.

Compared with Arsenal, who need to fight hard to fight for the fourth place in the league, Barcelona has an advantage in preparation mentality. In the subsequent league, those substitute players who rarely get opportunities in the team will get more playing time, while Ronaldinho and other main players will get enough rest.

I believe that after half a month of rest, these main players whose physical strength has reached its limit will have enough energy to appear in the Champions League final in Paris.

In addition to training against Arsenal in the next half month, Rijkaard also needs to help Xavi and Messi find the feeling of the game as soon as possible.

Before May 5, Barcelona still has three unimportant league games to play, including a make-up match. Xavi and Messi will try their best to regain their form in these three games.

画外音：根据西甲联赛的规则，如果一支球队连续3次夺冠或者累计5次夺冠，那他们就能获得冠军奖杯的一次永久保留权。巴萨最后一次保留奖杯是在1993年，当时巴萨连续三个赛季夺冠(1991、1992、1993)。

目前西甲的奖杯从1994年开始流动。12年内，巴萨又已夺5冠(1994、1998、1999、2005，2006)，这样俱乐部的努涅斯展览馆内又将增添了一座永久冠军奖杯，而西班牙足协在2006-07赛季还得再铸造一座新的联赛奖杯。

巴萨的竞争对手中，皇马这一时期四夺冠军(1995、1997、2001、2003)，瓦伦西亚曾两次夺冠(2002、2004)，而马竞(1996)和拉科(2000)各一次夺冠。

……

Ricardo, who is severely allergic to alcohol and cannot stay up late, declined the so-called championship celebration. He showed up symbolically, sprayed champagne on the captain and Ronaldinho, took a few photos with a silly smile while holding the trophy, signed autographs for a few beautiful fans who were not sure whether they knew him or not, and took photos with them. Ricardo went home to rest early.

Naturally, Ricardo received congratulatory messages from his parents, brother, uncle, cousin Raiola Pimenta, girlfriends and friends. Except for Chiara's sexy selfie pictures and MMS, they were all copy-and-paste messages without much substance.

However, after seeing Raiola's text message, Ricardo still sent a special message back to ask about the national team's roster.

However, within 3 minutes, Raiola replied to the message and asked Ricardo to check his email...

Ricardo quickly opened the mailbox of Ricci66@hotmail. and checked the email from Raiola. Well, it was sent 2 minutes ago and it was above a pile of advertising emails and was easy to recognize.

The email mainly talked about the following things:

1. Italy's squad for the 2006 World Cup in Germany should be announced later next week;

2. The current coaching team led by Lippi is still very optimistic about Li Qi, who is young and can play multiple positions;

3. Raiola's team is still working with the Italian Football Association and Lippi's surrounding people;

4. There will not be too many reports about Li Qi in the newspapers in the past two days, because the recent popularity and traffic are definitely all about Barcelona's victory, and it is definitely impossible to grab it. The focus on Li Qi will be arranged to start in 3 days, reaching a peak before the national team's roster is announced;

5. Li Qi needs to be interviewed by the Italian national sports channel "SportItaliaTV" this Sunday evening, when Raiola's team will come to give guidance;

6. Pimenta has compiled statistics on Li Qi's performance in various competitions this season as of yesterday:

In the 05/06 La Liga season, he was included in the match roster 26 times, started 8 times and came off the bench 16 times, with a total playing time of 1138 minutes, contributing 5 goals and 5 assists, an average of one goal every 114 minutes.

In the 05/06 Champions League season, he was included in the match squad 12 times, started once and came on as a substitute 1 times, with a total playing time of 8 minutes, contributing 240 goal and 1 assists, an average of one goal every 80 minutes.

In other club competitions such as the Super Cup, Gamper Cup and King's Cup, he was included in the game roster 6 times, started 3 times and came off the bench once, played a total of 1 minutes, contributed 280 goals and 3 assists, and was involved in a goal every 56 minutes on average.

There are also statistics for the Italian national team's games. He was included in the squad 8 times, started 3 times, and came off the bench 4 times, playing a total of 325 minutes, contributing two goals and two assists, an average of one goal every 81 minutes.

7. Then Pimenta also thoughtfully added some basic analysis and comparisons, focusing on the club's data. It is obvious that this data report is to be submitted to the national team coaching staff:

During his time with Barcelona, ​​Li Qi played 37 times in the league and various cup competitions, including 12 starts and 25 substitute appearances, with a total playing time of 1658 minutes, 10 goals, 8 assists, and an average of 92 minutes to participate in a goal. This is the performance data of the top attackers in the five major leagues.

In addition, Li Qi scored 7 goals and 3 assists in a short period of time as a substitute, that is, in 578 minutes of fragmented time, Li Qi participated in 10 goals, an average of one goal every 57.8 minutes!

……

"Oh my god! It turns out I'm a super substitute!" Ricardo couldn't help but jump up in excitement after seeing Pimenta's statistics.
