Atletico Madrid's players' Christmas break only lasts until December 31.On January [-], [-], the first day of the new year, the players ended their vacation one after another and returned to Atletico Madrid's training base.And this day happened to be the signing ceremony for Li Qingshan's signing with Atletico Madrid.
Atlético de Madrid's training base is not located in the urban area of Madrid, but in a shopping and leisure center located [-] kilometers west of the city of Madrid. The Spanish name is "Majadahonda".
When the players returned to the training base on the first day after their vacation, Atletico Madrid announced this signing on the first day of the opening of the winter transfer window.
a Chinese?
A center who scored 59 goals in a single season?
The player who scored four goals for Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup?
What is he like?Do the Chinese really know kung fu?I heard he is tall?It is said that he has a good header?
...........
On the first day back from vacation, Li Qingshan became a hot topic among Atletico Madrid players in private communication.
In the Atlético de Madrid team, except for the goalkeeper Courtois, the defender Alder, who is Belgian, and Arda Turan, who is a Turk, the other players are Spanish, Portuguese, and South American players. They all speak Spanish. Chinese or Portuguese, and the difference between the two languages is not very big. Basically, if you get used to listening to each other, you can understand each other's language.
Therefore, in Atletico Madrid's player circle that does not appear to be "international", the addition of a Chinese is a very new thing.
Is there anyone who is worried that this striker will lose his position if he joins?Of course not.
Simeone's tactical system relies on the improvement of the 442 formation, so Atletico Madrid needs two forwards in the starting lineup.Atletico Madrid's main striker partner is now Diego Costa and Villa.
Needless to say, Villa, although he is getting older, where are his past achievements and fame? The main shooter, how can his status be easily shaken by a kid from Asia?
And who is the other Diego Costa?Although he is not as famous as Villa, he is the top scorer in Atletico Madrid's team this season. Before halfway through the league, he has already scored [-] goals in all competitions.He is also unlikely to be robbed of the main position.
Therefore, in the minds of Atlético Madrid players, Simeone introduced Li Qingshan as a substitute for these two. If you really worry about losing your position, it may be another striker Adrian, but Adrian's goal Efficiency is really unflattering. From the beginning of the season to now, there have been [-] games as a substitute, but he has not scored a single goal. Fortunately, he is active in running and defending hard. In addition, he was originally content to be a substitute. Heart, he will not have any wary of another substitute.
In this world, to put it bluntly, it still depends on strength. Before Li Qingshan has shown a stronger ability than the two starting forwards, it is unlikely that he will be able to get a main position as soon as he comes up.
When the players talked about Li Qingshan, they were only curious about this Chinese player whose cultural background was completely different from theirs.For Westerners, everything in the East is full of mystery.Most of them have very limited knowledge about China.
On January [-], the Atletico Madrid players who came to the training base early in the morning found that there was an extra cabinet in the locker room, and there was a set of training jerseys hanging in the cabinet.
NO.16, Qing Shan Li
Since Li Qingshan joined the team in the middle of the season, Atlético Madrid's numbers within 25 are only 24, 25, [-], and [-].
According to Li Qingshan's thinking, he certainly hopes to get the No. 16 jersey, which symbolizes the main striker, but now this jersey belongs to Villa.Of course, Atlético de Madrid can't deprive Villa of the No. [-] jersey, so Li Qingshan had no choice but to choose this NO.[-].
It's a pity to say that No. [-] is Li Qingshan's favorite number, but since he played professional football, he hasn't worn No. [-] jersey...
Afterwards, the door of the locker room was pushed open, and Li Qingshan walked into the locker room led by Atletico Madrid captain Gabi.
It is the captain's job to introduce new players to the players.
Gabi is a native of Madrid and was born in the youth training camp of Atletico Madrid.Was promoted to captain of the team last season.
As a defensive midfielder, he is also a very stable person in his own right.
After Gabby clapped his palms to draw everyone's attention to him, he cleared his throat and said:
"Let me introduce to you, this is the new member of our team, Li Qingshan from China!"
Even without his introduction, the big guys already know who the big man standing in front of them is, but the routine still needs to be done.
After a short period of silence, the locker room soon became noisy.
,
"God, he's taller than I thought!"
"Ah, ah, he is so strong!!"
"No wonder he scored so many headers!"
……
Li Qingshan stood in the locker room with a dazed face, because...he couldn't understand a word his new teammates said.
The main language in the Atlético Madrid dressing room is Spanish, as most of the players are Spanish-speaking.
At this time Diego Costa stood up and gestured in front of Li Qingshan.
"Kung Fu! Kung Fu!! Li, I heard that you Chinese know Kung Fu!!"
Li Qingshan looked at Diego Costa who was standing in front of him dancing.Of course he knew that the forward in front of him looked almost 45 years old but was actually only 25 years old.Seeing him gesturing in front of him, he probably guessed what he was talking about.
So he replied in English: "I don't know kung fu, Diego."
At this time, the young central midfielder Koke also came up and said enviously: "You are so strong, Li!"
As a professional player with a height of 180 centimeters, Cork weighs only 68 kilograms, which seems a bit thin on the football field.
At this moment, captain Gabi coughed lightly, signaling the players to calm down, and then he introduced Atletico Madrid players to Li Qingshan one by one.
Villa, the most prestigious man in the locker room, first hugged Li Qingshan to express his welcome, and then the players of Atletico Madrid stepped forward to shake Li Qingshan's hand one by one.
In contrast to the factional fighting in their neighbors Real Madrid's dressing room, Simeone's team is very united, which is one of the key factors in their ability to compete with the Spanish top two.
In short, this meeting between the players is considered complete.
Right now, Li Qingshan only thinks about one thing - learn Spanish as soon as possible!
His teammates usually speak Spanish. If the other party does not speak English, then the communication between the two sides can only rely on sign language.
Atlético de Madrid has hired a Spanish teacher for him, but he has not officially started the job yet.
However, football is a common language. Even if the language is not fluent, Li Qingshan can still complete the training in Atletico Madrid.
In short, his first training session at Atletico Madrid started today.
