Chapter 74 List of 18 National People's Congress
Chapter 518 list

Guangzhou Evergrande is in Group F this season with the AFC Champions League, Urawa Red Diamonds from the Japanese League, Jeonbuk Hyundai from the Korean League, and Mengtong United from the Thai League.

The strength of the teams in this group is not too far apart. Although Guangzhou Evergrande has a strong lineup of foreign aid, on the whole, when they face the teams in the Japanese and Korean leagues, their strength advantage is not as great as imagined.

Xu Jiayin, owner of Guangzhou Evergrande, shouted the slogan of "three years in the Super League and five years in the AFC Champions League" after taking over Guangzhou. Now the team has won two consecutive championships in the Super League, and it seems that no team can threaten them. In this case, Guangzhou Evergrande attaches great importance to the AFC Champions League.

This can also be seen from their game bonus distribution.The team implements the "6306" bonus plan in the AFC Champions League, that is, in the AFC Champions League, the team will reward the team with 600 million yuan for winning a game, 300 million yuan for a tie, and 600 million yuan for each promotion round.Maybe the boss even specially set up a seemingly weird "Glory for the Country" award, that is, for every goal that the opponent wins in each game, the team will be rewarded with an additional RMB 1 million.

The bonus system in the Chinese Super League is the "303" system, that is, 300 million rewards for winning the next game, no rewards and no penalties for a tie, and 300 million fines for losing a game.

Stimulated by such a huge bonus, the players of course tried their best every game to pursue victory.The purpose of professional players is not to be able to make more money in their careers. After all, for athletes, their careers are at most ten years.

Therefore, in order to prepare for the home game against Urawa Red Diamonds on February 2, the team returned to Guangzhou a week earlier.They landed at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport by flight on February 26.

Before returning to China, Lippi had announced that the players would be given two days off, so the players disbanded as soon as they got off the plane.

However, Li Qingshan was an exception. At this time, he took a minibus sent by the team and drove to Guangzhou Evergrande's Lishui training base in Foshan.

That's right, although Guangzhou Evergrande's home stadium, Tianhe Stadium, is located in the most prosperous sports center section of downtown Guangzhou, their training base is not in Guangzhou. In July 2011, Guangzhou Evergrande moved their training base from Baiyun Mountain to Beijing. Water, although it is in another city, but the distance between Foshan and Guangzhou is very close, and the urban areas of both sides are intertwined with each other, which can almost be regarded as the same city.

After Lippi took over Guangzhou Evergrande, he made a decision that surprised domestic football players-implementing a training system in the Guangzhou Evergrande team.

The training system has been an old topic since the professional reform of Chinese football. So far, Guangzhou Evergrande is the only club in the Chinese Super League that can implement the training system. The so-called training system means that the players go home after training. , you don’t have to stay in the club, you can manage yourself.In European clubs, the training system is very common.What is the so-called professional player?It means that you come to the club to train, it is your job, you come to work, you can do whatever you like after work, and arrange your own life yourself. This is a professional player.

However, this has been difficult to implement in China. For a long time, in people's impression, the players of Chinese football clubs are too unprofessional, and their self-discipline and governance capabilities are very poor.Chinese players grew up under a professional system and a paternalistic coaching atmosphere. After training, players don’t know how to arrange their lives, what responsibilities they should take off the court, and how to pass the training. To ensure their own training, to ensure their own rice bowl.However, after Lippi came, he unswervingly wanted to promote the walking training system. He believed that if Chinese football wanted to improve, and if Chinese players wanted to truly achieve the so-called success, they had to pass the "walking training system" hurdle.Not long after Lippi arrived, the Guangzhou Evergrande team was eliminated by Saudi Al Ittihad in the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League last year. At that time, this incident caused a lot of controversy within the Evergrande Group. The implementation of the walking training system is to relax management. This walking training system is unacceptable to Chinese players, and it is impossible to give Chinese players such a large amount of trust. This issue has even risen to the issue of trust in Lippi.

But Lippi still withstood the pressure and fully implemented European-style club management in the Guangzhou Evergrande team.His authority in Guangzhou Evergrande is very large, not the role of head coach in the general sense. To a certain extent, Lippi plays the role of team manager in Guangzhou Evergrande. In addition, he has also been deeply involved in the management of the team, bringing Guangzhou Evergrande a completely Italian-style club management philosophy.

Lippi will build Guangzhou Evergrande into an Italian-style team step by step, or a Lippi-style team. In addition to being deeply branded by Lippi in terms of skills and tactics, the same is true in terms of management.

In the traditional Chinese football circle, in addition to looking at technical and tactical capabilities, it also involves entanglements in favor, relationships and even interests.

"I will not interfere with your private life, and you should also not interfere with me." This is Lippi's management style. After he coached Evergrande, he implemented a full-time training system. Whether it is players, team affairs or team doctors, all can be freely controlled time outside of training.Lippi does not interfere with anything outside the player's training ground. He only looks at the training situation. If you fail to meet his requirements, no matter whether you are Conca or Muric, you will have to sit on the bench.

But now Li Qingshan has to live in the hotel arranged by Guangzhou Evergrande—before he finds a house in Guangzhou, he can only live in the Evergrande Hotel near the Lishui training base.

During these two days of vacation, Li Qingshan intends to check if there are any houses for rent near the training base.Although he can stay in the hotel arranged by the team, Li Qingshan still prefers to go out and rent a house by himself - he doesn't want to be an outlier in the team.Although this month he has been very different.

In the end, he rented an apartment in a community near the training base. This place is very close to the training base and can be reached in a 15-minute walk. For Li Qingshan, who does not even have a driver's license, the biggest advantage of this place is that he can go to It's much easier to train.

But after returning from vacation, Li Qingshan still didn't get the chance to train with the team. During this period of time, through scientific training and dietary adjustments, he has successfully reduced his body fat percentage from 15% to 13%. There is still a distance from Lippi's request.

However, the day before the match against Urawa Red Diamonds, Lippi surprised the players when he announced the 18-man roster in front of the players.

Because, Li Qingshan entered the list of 18 people!
Even Li Qingshan himself was very surprised, because he had never participated in the team's tactical training in the past 20 days, and Lippi actually put himself in the 18-man roster?

After the list was announced, it also caused a lot of discussion and speculation in the media. Many media believed that Li Qingshan's entry into the 18-man squad meant that Lippi was impressed by Li Qingshan's ability in training. Fortunately, they did not know about Li Qingshan's training during this period. Condition.
The outside world is not clear about the training situation of Guangzhou Evergrande. After Lippi became the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande, he implemented a completely closed training. Except for specific time points to allow fans and media to watch, most of the time, it is difficult for the outside world to know. The training status of Guangzhou Evergrande.

In any case, Li Qingshan himself is quite excited to be included in the roster - at least it means that he has a chance to play in the first AFC Champions League match, doesn't he?
