Chapter 48 Young Deputy Captain
The somewhat tortuous Madrid derby ended with a 67-[-] victory for the home team Atletico Madrid.Atletico Madrid surpassed Real Madrid by three points after winning this crucial first battle, ranking first in the league with [-] points.
And Real Madrid's ranking dropped to No.3, because in the next La Liga game, Barcelona beat Almeria four to one at home, tied Real Madrid in points, and squeezed out Real Madrid with a goal difference advantage. Moved up to second place in the standings.
After this game, the La Liga championship situation began to become a little clearer, and Atletico Madrid was one position ahead of the other two teams.Judging from the current state of Atletico Madrid, they are likely to break the monopoly of Real Madrid and Barcelona on the La Liga championship this season and reach the top of the league championship.
After the game ended, Simeone cooled down the excited Atletico Madrid players in time. There are still [-] rounds before the end of the league. If they capsize in the gutter during these [-] rounds of the league, they may be chased by the opponent at any time Come up, so Atletico Madrid can't take it lightly.
The current Spanish media are reporting this top battle at length. As for the previous doubts about Li Qingshan, the media naturally pretended that there was no such thing.
When facing a team like Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid's three goals are directly related to it. Such a performance cannot be used as evidence of a decline in the "goal rate".
In fact, when Li Qingshan just joined Atletico Madrid, some Spanish media were not optimistic about the signing of Atletico Madrid.Many Spaniards will think that the characteristics of this player can only perform well in a low-level league like the Chinese Super League, and once he reaches the top league, he will perform sluggishly-there are too many such precedents.Many players who have performed well in the lower leagues and small teams have not performed so well in the top leagues and big teams.
And now with Li Qingshan, Simeone's lineup has been greatly enriched.
At the press conference after the game, Simeone did not hide his ambitions at all: "Our goal is to win the La Liga championship this season. Every next game is a final. My team will not relax in the slightest. .”
As the best player of the game, Li Qingshan also accepted a brief interview with the media. Standing in front of the billboards covered with sponsor logos, his clothes were covered in mud, and grass clippings on his face and hair were clearly visible in the media's shots. Said before: "We know there are two very fierce pursuers behind us, but as long as we don't stop, we can finally win the championship. Twelve consecutive victories? Why not!"
On the front page of the media the next day, Li Qingshan's words, combined with the picture of him shaking his head in the air and attacking the goal, made the headlines of the major newspapers and media.
Twelve consecutive victories?why not!
It is rare for Li Qingshan to say such arrogant words, but now no one has questioned whether Li Qingshan is qualified to say these words - he is now one of the top players in La Liga!
Just like playing a game, Atletico Madrid's La Liga journey will face twelve levels next, and they need to clear each level to get the final spoils.
Their next first hurdle is to face Celta Vigo away on March [-].
But for Li Qingshan, there is one more thing that is closely related to him before this game.Lippi, his former mentor at Guangzhou Evergrande, personally called him and invited him to join the Chinese national team.
In the Asian preliminaries on March [-], the Chinese national team lost [-]-[-] to Iraq, and finally advanced to the [-] Australian Asian Cup with a goal difference.Then the acting head coach Fu Bo was dismissed by the Chinese Football Association, and the new head coach announced immediately was Marcelo Lippi!
In fact, the day before the game, Lippi personally called Li Qingshan, promising that the only tactical core of the Chinese national team would be Li Qingshan!
It's rare for a head coach to call a key player before taking office.This also shows how much Lippi relies on Li Qingshan!
In fact, as early as a year ago, the Chinese Football Association had contacted Lippi, but at that time Lippi rejected the invitation of the Chinese Football Association-because he felt that the strength of the players of the Chinese national team really made him unconfident. Like Guangzhou Evergrande, there are high-level foreign aid as the core.
And a year later, Lippi, who had led Guangzhou Evergrande to win the AFC Champions League and even the Club World Cup, received an invitation from the Chinese Football Association again, and even the club's owner Xu Jiayin personally came forward to lobby Lippi to take over as the coach of the Chinese team. In India, the Chinese Football Association has received financial support from Evergrande Group and offered Lippi a jaw-dropping annual salary of 2000 million euros.
This time Lippi did not refuse again. In addition to the temptation of this annual salary, more importantly, because of the existence of Li Qingshan, Lippi has the confidence to build a team with a certain combat effectiveness that operates around Li Qingshan as the fulcrum of the frontcourt. team.
The Chinese Football Association gave Lippi a five-year contract, which means that Lippi's coaching position will continue until [-].The goal of the Chinese Football Association is obvious, that is, to rely on Lippi to bring the Chinese team into the [-] World Cup in Russia.
Cai Zhenhua, chairman of the Football Association, is not a person who does not understand football at all, and as a bureaucrat, what he desires most is to gain political achievements and then get promoted.If Lippi can lead the Chinese team to the World Cup, then he, as the chairman of the Football Association who single-handedly hired Lippi, will naturally be a great achievement!As a member of the system, he understands the thoughts of the top leaders very well.
Boss Xu of the Evergrande Group naturally understands this, so of course he is willing to "dedicate" the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande to the country.Boss Xu is a wealthy businessman, so naturally he wouldn't do business at a loss.
The news that Lippi took over the Chinese national team quickly caused a shock in the entire Chinese football world.And Lippi's actions after taking office left many people stunned.
On the day when the Football Association announced that Lippi would take over as the head coach of the Chinese national team, Lippi announced his coaching blue book. After a series of echelons were unified and all accepted the leadership of Lippi's head coach, an unprecedented "big national team" was formed. Lippi inserted his assistant into the National Olympics and U22 as the head coach.
If such an action just shows that the Football Association has given Lippi enough power, then what Lippi announced next will surprise the Chinese football circle even more.
He announced at the press conference the acceptance of the Chinese national team, Zheng Zhi is still the captain of the Chinese team, and Lippi's next words made the news media reporters on the scene commotion.
"Announce the appointment of Li Qingshan as the vice-captain of the national team!"
There was an uproar at the scene.This message is too informative.
In China, a traditional society that pays attention to seniority, a boy under the age of 21 actually became the vice-captain of the Chinese national team?
And since Lippi announced the captain's acceptance of his fate, it meant that Li Qingshan became a core member of the Li family army without any suspense.
More importantly, Li Qingshan has not played any game on behalf of the Chinese team so far!Not even a warm-up match.
Wouldn't this be a little too sloppy?
Will the announcement of the appointment of the vice captain in this way make other players dissatisfied?
Will this put too much pressure on Li Qingshan, a young player?
All kinds of questions filled the hearts of reporters and fans.This may be the first time in the history of Chinese football, right?Perhaps it should be unique in the history of world football.
The world is crazy that a player who has never represented the national team is appointed as the vice-captain.
But Lippi is clearly deliberate.
First of all, in his team system, Li Qingshan is naturally the core link.That is to say, he will create a set of tactics completely around Li Qingshan. In this way, it is not surprising that the team's core players are the team's vice-captain.
And what is the age of the current captain Zheng Zhi? If the team aims at the World Cup in Russia, then whether Zheng Zhi can play well at that time is also a problem. Lippi's move is also to cultivate a leader in the locker room in advance.
The backbone members of the Chinese national team are still from Guangzhou Evergrande, and Li Qingshan and them naturally have no unfamiliar problems. At least in the locker room, Li Qingshan will still get the support of Guangzhou Evergrande players. In this way, he This "deputy captain" is no longer a polished commander.
As for whether Li Qingshan, the "leader" successor, can do a good job, it's hard to say now.
In any case, an anecdote in the history of football was born in this way-the Chinese national team appointed a vice-captain who had never represented the national team.
PS: I checked almost all the information and it seems that there is no such precedent
