There is a belief called football

Chapter 179 The Relaxed Atmosphere Before the Great War
"Brother Jiayi",
"Don't call me brother, in fact we are about the same age, just call me Shao Jiayi",
Li Qiao smiled and said, "Okay."

"The pass you gave me still doesn't feel right," Li Qiao said.

Shao Jia frowned. He really worked very hard, but Stan wanted him to be like Recoba, which was really difficult.

"Of course, I have never played for Inter Milan," Shao Jiayi said.

Li Qiao quickly said: "No, I didn't mean that."

Shao Jia waved his hand to express his indifference, "Joe, can you tell me what exactly you want?"
Li Qiao stretched out his hand and gestured, but the meaning was not very clear. Finally, Li Qiao said: "Recoba's pass has life."

"Hahaha, there is life"?
"Yes, when receiving Recoba's pass, you don't need to increase or vent your strength. The football under your feet seems to be in harmony with your heart. You will feel very comfortable when you handle the next move."

After hearing Li Qiao's words, Shao Jiayi became even more confused, "No wonder he went to Inter Milan, I can only go to Munich 1860".

"I didn't say you were sorry, I just wanted to do what Stan asked",
"I know," Shao Jiayi said.

*****
A word is often used to describe the accuracy of passing on the football field - "scalpel-like precision". In fact, this word is very appropriate. On a high-confrontation, high-speed football field, the accuracy of the pass and the appropriateness of the passing strength are really like a surgeon's scalpel.

Li Qiao's request may seem to others to be picky, but those who really understand football understand that this is definitely not just looking for trouble. A typical example is Messi. Why does Messi seem to be omnipotent in Barcelona, ​​but when he returns to the Argentine national team, he immediately appears inferior?
In fact, the most important thing is that Barcelona has passing masters like Xavi and Iniesta, but Argentina does not. A slight difference in the passing heat cannot be seen on the live TV screen, but for the players on the field, that little difference means whether they can complete the next action better in the end.

It can be said that Li Qiao's understanding of football is already at the European level, but Shao Jia's understanding of football is still at the Asian level.

When Li Qiao was communicating with Shao Jiayi, Stan on the side also saw it. He understood that the requirements for the old players were too high. Fortunately, the next few opponents he encountered were not very strong. Shao Jiayi's passing was a little bit weak, and the impact was not great. "I hope Lin Zhijian joins the team in time", Stan thought.

*****
The most important thing for Stan is the unity of the team, so whether in the club or the national team, he requires that on the training day before the game, everyone has to eat together.

Moreover, Stan also asked not to bury his head in eating alone, but to eat slowly and chat while eating like the French.

This is a pain for Wei, who is usually relatively withdrawn, and Stan will not force others. Every time Stan finds some lively people to bring up the topic.

"Li Weifeng, tell me about your first appearance in the 2002 World Cup, the feeling of standing on the field",
"Yeah, tell us, captain," everyone booed.

"Have you watched the match between North Korea and Brazil in the 2010 World Cup?"Li Weifeng asked.

"I have seen it", many people replied.

"What impressed you most about that game?"Li Weifeng said.

"Maicon's zero-degree goal," someone said.

Li Weifeng nodded, "Indeed, the ball was beautiful, but what impressed me the most was that Zheng Dashi burst into tears when he played the national anthem."

Speaking of this, many people also remembered that it was indeed a classic scene of that game.

"Maybe many people don't understand, and many people even think that Zheng Dashi is putting on a show, but I understand, because I also felt this way during the 2002 World Cup",
Then Li Weifeng looked at Sun Jihai and said, "I think Jihai also feels the same way."

"Yes, it's just that I held back and didn't want to cry in front of the TV," Sun Jihai said with a smile.

"Well, let's make an appointment for the first game in Brazil, let's all cry together"?Stan said.

The players all laughed.

Li Qiao said: "I cried in the first game, so what if we enter the top 16 or the top 8"?
"That's right, thank you Li Qiao for reminding me, then I will announce that the captain Li Weifeng will cry in the first game, and if the group wins, the whole team will cry," Stein said.

This time even Wei Xiao smiled secretly. Stan's team will never be less happy. Although he is like a Zhou on the training ground, trying to squeeze the last bit of strength from the players, but off the court, Stan is just an ordinary middle-aged uncle.

*****
The game on January 1 was scheduled to be held in Shenzhen, China, so on January 22, the whole team set off for training in Guangzhou, which happened to be borrowing the training ground of Guangzhou Tianbao.

When he came to the field he was familiar with, Stan was like a fish in water. He opened up all the "secret weapons" to the players, including the "secret hut" where Li Qiao trained.

In fact, modern football training methods are becoming more and more diversified. For example, Bayern once introduced volleyball as auxiliary training.

And Stein also created a lot of weird training methods, one of which is basketball. Stein thinks that the sense of space required by basketball games can also help football players. Bayern player "Schweinsteiger" usually likes to play basketball.

So on the second day after arriving in Guangzhou, Stan organized a 3-on-3 basketball game. On both sides, one side wore a blue vest and the other side wore a yellow vest. The game lasted for 20 minutes.

The blue team is "Li Qiao", "Li Weifeng", "Qi Rate",
The yellow team is "Qi Bing", "Sun Jihai", and "Hao Junmin".

Substitutions can be made at any time in a basketball game, and other players can take turns playing at any time.

Stan is watching, the players are having fun, why?Because everyone's football skills are very bad, as a football player, the most stupid organ on the body may be the hands.

Stan wants this kind of atmosphere. Many head coaches will add some games to the training. The purpose is not to have any training effect, but to make the internal atmosphere more joyful.

*****
January 1nd happens to be the Chinese Lunar New Year, and Li Qiao can’t go home to celebrate the New Year again. Ever since he played football, Li Qiao has forgotten what it’s like to celebrate the Spring Festival with his family, but this year he decided to have a New Year’s Eve dinner with his parents “video connection”.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, in the restaurant, Li Qiao used his mobile phone to connect with his family to have a New Year's Eve dinner. His teammates followed suit after seeing Li Qiao like this, but it was okay at first, but gradually the atmosphere changed. It turned out that everyone was like Li Qiao. Since playing football, he rarely went home to accompany his parents, so while eating, the originally happy atmosphere gradually became sad.

When Stan appeared in the restaurant, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right. Why was everyone so quiet?After observing for a while, I found out that it was caused by "sickness".

But Stan doesn't want the players to appear on the field with such emotions, and of course he can't forcibly deprive everyone of the video with their families.

After much deliberation, Stan thought of a way. He clapped his hands heavily and made a loud noise.

"Do you mind if I have a New Year greeting with your family?"
Stan's words attracted everyone's attention, and the players turned around to look at Stan. Stan didn't wait for everyone's answer, and walked up to Li Weifeng by himself. Li Weifeng's lovely daughter was in the camera.

"Hi, I'm the head coach",
"What is a head coach"?Li Weifeng's daughter asked.

"Who is in charge of your family?"Stan asked.

"My mother",
"Well, the head coach is someone who, like your mother, has the final say."

Stan's words elicited laughter from everyone.

Stan continued: "Remember to watch your dad play tonight".

"I know, Dad told me",
"But don't worry if you can't find your dad on TV," Stein said.

"why"?
"Because the game may be played in the opponent's half most of the time."

The players in the restaurant laughed a little louder.

Then Stan walked up to Qi Shi again, "Hello, Qi Qi's parents".

Qi led his father to cover his head and face: "Coach, will my son play tonight?"

Stan pretends to frown and says, "Probably not".

Qi led his parents to look a little disappointed.

Stan went on to say: "The opponent is too weak, so I don't think about the goalkeeper tonight."

The words finally made everyone laugh. As long as they laughed, the slightly sad atmosphere disappeared. Then Stan used to take turns to send New Year greetings to all the players' families one by one, thanking them for their contributions to the team.

In this way, a slightly sad pre-match meal was turned into a mobilization meeting by Stan, "Boys, your family is watching, do you dare not fight on the court?"thought Stan.

*****
Stan accepted a brief interview before the game, and Stan stated that he only accepted one question.

Someone asked: "Do you have anything to say to our opponents"?
"Who are you referring to"?
The reporters looked at each other, what happened to you, Stan?Don't you know who our opponent is?

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought the opponent you mentioned was the Spring Festival Gala, so I can tell you that the ratings of this game will definitely exceed the Spring Festival Gala."

The reporters whispered to each other, and everyone laughed.

Stan stood up, straightened the microphone in front of him, and finally said: "Watch the game, I promise that everything you want will be answered in the game."

Then Stan hurried away from the press conference, and Stan's first official game with the team was finally about to begin.
