Chapter 163 A Different Football Style
"Is it true that Lorinda won't be here?" During the call, Li Qiao's tone seemed a little frustrated.
"She... said she was going to school."
"Ah."
"..."
After a pause, Sosa smiled and said, "Lorinda has lived here since she was a child, she is reluctant."
Ha ha.
Li Qiao thought of Beckham's wife. In fact, every time Beckham made a career decision, his wife was more or less influential behind him.
For this reason, many fans scolded Victoria, but if you put yourself in their shoes, the reality is not the game of "Football Manager". Players are also human beings with emotions and desires, and family is also a very important factor.
"OK then."
"Then uncle, will you come?"
"I...have to wait a while."
"Ok."
*****
Major European clubs all have a "carry-in bag" service, which was first proposed by AC Milan. It's good for the players to come, and the club takes care of everything.
After Li Qiao came to Liverpool, the club arranged for him to live in Dudek's house after communicating with him.
Correct.
It's the home of the Polish goalkeeper who can dance with noodles, which is actually very good and can be integrated into the team quickly.
You might think that's great, but it doesn't happen that often and most players would say no.
Especially for South American players, Ferguson mentioned in his memoirs that after Veron joined Manchester United, he had almost no friends in the club, and he did not learn English, so it was very difficult to communicate.
The reason why Li Qiao agreed is actually very simple. On the one hand, he wants to quickly integrate into the team, and on the other hand, Li Qiao does not have so many colorful private lives.
After dinner.
Li Qiao and Dudek were drinking afternoon tea in the yard. Dudek's name was Jerzy, and Li Qiao was rather sweaty about it, and his pronunciation was not easy to pronounce, probably because of Polish.
So Li Qiao had a whim and called the other party Adu.
"Adu?"
"Yes, in China, adding an ah character before a person's name means kindness."
Dudek shrugged, "It doesn't matter."
Everyone is a foreigner, and they will soon get closer to each other. Dudek asked: "The second floor is given to you, don't worry, you can bring the girls back, just tap."
sweat.
"I have a girlfriend."
"Oh……"
"what is it call?"
"Lorinda."
"Don't worry, I will help you cover, as long as it is a call from Lorinda, I know what to do."
It seems to be a common thing for buddies to cover up and help their girlfriends to check the post, but Li Qiao is still very sweaty.
"Then...thank you."
"It's okay, just help me too."
"Ha ha."
"By the way, I want to ask something about the team."
Dudek spread his hands, "Ask whatever you want."
"Is Stephen easy to get along with?"
Li Qiao refers to Gerrard, the soul of Liverpool. It is okay to offend the head coach in Liverpool, but don't offend Gerrard, otherwise you will only be swept away, so Li Qiao needs to know about Gerrard.
"Stephen?"
"That's an Englishman, and you know what an Englishman is like?"
It is generally believed that the British are rigorous, conservative, and unsmiling, so don't tell cold jokes with the British casually, and don't hook up with the British at every turn.
"But as long as you can satisfy him on the court, Stephen is still very easy to get along with."
Li Qiao nodded, this is the so-called good thing and not the person.
*****
The training intensity of the Premier League is very high, otherwise it will not be able to cope with very intense games.
In training, Benitez's tactical thinking gradually took shape.
Li Qiao and Kewell are separated on the two sides, Harman and Gerrard are in the middle, and the Frenchman Cise and the Czech Barosch are in front.
Li Qiao is on the right side, which he is most familiar with, but makes frequent mistakes. This is the difference between the Portuguese league and the English league.
Some people think that good players should not choose the league, but in fact many players will not adapt to the climate, such as Manchester United's Memphis Depay and the Uruguayan Forlan at that time are good examples.
Very good player, but can't survive in the Premier League.
In fact, the reason is also very simple. For example, in Portugal, Deco passes the ball to the feet, but here, the pass has a large amount of advance, and you need to fight with the opponent.
In the Premier League, it is unlikely to be given directly to your feet, except for teams like Arsenal.
The teammates gave Li Qiao the ball two to three positions ahead of time, and he had to fight the defender, which made Li Qiao very uncomfortable.
Benitez shook his head, this is not good, but he didn't say anything, after all, Li Qiao is new here, and it will take some time to get used to it.
It was much better when Benitez placed the Spaniard Garcia here. After all, Garcia came a year earlier and has adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League.
During the training break, a pair of big hands patted Li Qiao's shoulders, and when he turned around, it was Gerrard.
"team leader."
"Hehe, call me Stephen."
"Stephen."
The reason why Gerrard is called the soul of the team is because he always considers the interests of the team.
Li Qiao's strength is obvious to all. He is a player who has participated in the Champions League final, but he obviously does not adapt to the Premier League.
"Don't be depressed, this is the Premier League, we all rolled out of the mud when we were young, there is no gentlemanly demeanor on the pitch."
"Ha ha."
"Why do our players have a party, in the bar, you come too."
"it is good."
In the afternoon training, Li Qiao tried his best to fit in, but he was still awkward. The habit of playing football formed since childhood is not easy to change. It is like a left-handed player forcing his right foot to play football. It must be very uncomfortable.
At this time, Li Qiao missed Deco a little bit. Maybe the Brazilian who can pass the ball like a scalpel should go to Spain.
Seeing Li Qiao struggling, Gerrard decided to give him a kick, but this time Li Qiao started ahead of time, and the ball passed behind him.
"Sorry."
Gerrard immediately raised his hand to apologize, but Li Qiao knew that the problem still lies with him, time is the best antidote, but unfortunately Li Qiao didn't have time, the league will start soon, and this year is the Asian Cup, which delayed the time to practice with the team.
But the good thing is that the Asian Cup allowed Li Qiao to successfully obtain the Premier League labor certificate, and with his status in the national team, there will be no problem with the labor certificate in the future.
For Saturday's game against Tottenham, Benitez announced the starting lineup on Friday. As expected, there is no Li Qiao. On the right side, Benitez dare not take risks. He uses the Spaniard Garcia.
And this game was premiered on CCTV. When Huang Jianxiang and Duan Xuan got the starting list, they were still a little disappointed, because domestic expectations for this game are very strong, but the fans may be disappointed.
But fortunately, Li Qiao has entered the big list, which means that he is still very likely to come off the bench.
