Chapter 19 Pre-season warm-up match

Chapter 19 warm-up match before the season

From this day on, Li Qingshan also intentionally strengthened his training time, not only the training time box intensity in the football training camp.Even outside of team practice.Universities in England generally don't start until September, and Li Qingshan didn't have much homework in the preparatory class before entering.Therefore, after class in the afternoon, he will come to the training ground at Giger Lane to train with Nick.

Now it is mid-July, and there is less than one month before the opening of the 2012 Olympic Games held in the UK. Of course, the British are very much looking forward to this sports event held at their doorstep.

Even in the Newton Heath Tavern, which usually only discusses FC United, there are more tidbits of Olympic news these days.What are the rehearsals for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, how many medals the UK can win, whether the diving prince Daly can win gold at home, and so on.

Of course, the Olympic news that received the most attention in the tavern was of course the movement of the British Olympic team.

Speaking of British football, there are four FIFA members in the UK, including England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.However, since the International Olympic Committee only recognizes the United Kingdom as a member of the participating associations, and the above four teams are unwilling to merge to form a British representative team, since the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games, the United Kingdom has not had an Olympic team, and there has been no national Olympic team. Cannot participate in the Olympic football competition.

It's no wonder that England is dubbed the European Chinese team by Chinese fans. There are also four FIFA members in China...
For the London Olympics this time, with the help of the British government, the United Kingdom finally formed a national Olympic team representing the United Kingdom.And recently announced the 18-man squad for the British Olympic men's football match.In this big list, including thirteen England players and five Welsh players, head coach Stuart Pierce did not select players from Scotland and Northern Ireland.

And let the fans gathered in the Newton Heath bar pay attention to only two people - Beckham and Ryan Giggs.

Although these fans have formed a new team and defected to Manchester United, this does not mean that they hate Manchester United. Their hatred is only for the Glazer family.

Therefore, they will naturally pay attention to these two famous Manchester United stars.

As the former England captain, Beckham has repeatedly expressed his desire to be selected for the British Olympic team. However, the head coach Pierce believes that Beckham's current strength is not enough for this event. Although the former England captain is full of enthusiasm for serving the country, But there is no way to serve the country.

On the other hand, Ryan Giggs was selected for the British Olympic team.As a core member of Manchester United's Class of [-], Giggs' strength is naturally beyond doubt.However, due to the overall strength of Wales, the Manchester United star did not leave many memories in the national team game, which cannot but be said to be a shortcoming.And the British Olympic team formed this time may make up for the regret of this veteran's career.

In addition to Beckham, Tottenham's winger Bell also missed the Olympics, which is also shocking.

Newton Heath was naturally full of complaints about Beckham not being selected.For Giggs's selection, he is full of blessings, and at the same time ridiculed that England's rival Scotland has no players selected...
At the time when the atmosphere of the Olympic Games was getting stronger and stronger, FC practiced and started a series of warm-up matches before the season.

After defeating Lille in the Welsh Premier League in an away game, on July 19, five days later, they challenged Chard United in an away game at the same level as theirs. Li Qingshan overtook them with two headers when he was once behind The score, and finally defeated the opponent 3:2 in the away game, and won two consecutive victories in the warm-up match.

However, the next away game against Exeter City in League Two and Hyde United at the same level ended with a score of 3:3. Li Qingshan scored a hat-trick and scored twice in these two games, but he did not contribute The team brings the win.

If these two games are not enough to explain the problem, the next 3:4 away loss to the team of the same level, Abby High, will have to make the head coach Markinson sound the alarm.

There is nothing wrong with the team's offense. Although the offensive firepower is now concentrated on Li Qingshan alone, Li Qingshan's header ability in this level of competition is almost at the dominant level. It would be foolish not to rely on such a player.

What Makinson is worried about is the team's defense. In the last three games, the team has conceded more than three goals, which shows that there are problems in the team's defensive system.

However, Makinson is not a very tactical coach. If he is very capable, he will not be just the coach of an amateur team.

So what he came up with was to squeeze the distance between the three lines, narrow the distance between the midfield and the back line to reduce the loopholes in the defense, and replace the forward line with Li Qingshan and Nick as two forwards, only using Nick's speed and Li Qingshan's header power.It turned out that Li Qingshan's forward partner, veteran Mike Norton, could only sit on the bench.

Such a change really worked. The offensive combination of Li Qingshan and Nick was enough to guarantee the offensive firepower of FC United.Sure enough, a week later, they swept Bishop Oakland 6-0 away.

Immediately afterwards, they drew with the Blackburn Rovers from the British Championship 2:2 at home, allowing Makinson to strengthen his tactical routine.

Before the opening of the first round of the league, FC United won the next four warm-up games. In the warm-up match before the whole season, FC United scored 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.

This made FC United fans very excited, especially the team's new striker Li Qingshan made them even more satisfied.Although Li Qingshan has not played a formal game for the team, he has scored an astonishing [-] goals in these ten warm-up matches, with an average scoring efficiency of more than one goal per game, scoring every game.

Even other league teams at the same level who don't pay much attention to their opponents already know that FC United has dug a striker who can score goals every game, and even in the next few games, there are several FC United teams. For the first time, Mann's competitors also sent scouts to observe Li Qingshan's performance, which is rare in amateur competitions.

Fans have even begun to prepare a cheering song specially created for Li Qingshan.Create a song for a player, which represents the status of the player in the hearts of the fans.This is also a kind of fan culture.

Li Qingshan now feels that he is living a fulfilling life. He goes to work during the day and trains at night. On weekends, he usually trains one day and has a warm-up match with his opponent.

When I first came to the UK, I was only helped by my compatriots in many things. The native English people are very xenophobic, and it is not easy to integrate into their community.

And now I have been recognized by a group of FC United fans. Every day when I go to training, the fans come to see the new FC United striker. After the training, the fans enthusiastically come to take photos with me.

There are also fans dedicated to him during the game, although there are only Alma, Philip, and John...

One week after the last warm-up match, the first league game is about to start.

Li Qingshan's first official match in the English league system is about to start!
