Chapter 797: Fighting in the European Cup
Now the Chinese team has a brilliant record in the Asian qualifiers, defeating many strong opponents along the way. The style of play is exciting, offensive, energetic, and disciplined. If the current winning streak is maintained, it seems that it will not be a problem to enter the 2014 Brazil World Cup.
The reputation of Crazy Li Football School in China has soared.
And Li Bing's prestige has risen even higher. He has become a superstar in the Chinese football coach after Crazy Li.
There are less than two years to the 2014 South Africa World Cup. Li Tongfan hopes that Li Bing can follow him and feel the atmosphere of the world competition again up close, observe the strength and characteristics of the European giants up close, and accumulate experience. After all, most of the giants who can participate in the European Cup may meet in the World Cup two years later, so it is good to get to know them earlier.
This is a precautionary measure.
Due to the various restrictions of the FM system, Li Tongfan cannot get involved in Chinese football himself. Helping Li Bing, a practical man full of idealism, can be regarded as doing his part for Chinese football!
Li Bing was also very happy to get such an opportunity again.
He certainly understood what Crazy Li meant. The new Football Association quickly approved Li Bing's application, and Li Bing rushed to Spain. Accompanying him were several assistants of Li Bing and a visiting group from CCTV. Old Li's hasty appointment raised the expectations of domestic fans for the Poland-Ukraine European Cup to a higher level. CCTV also sent a new interview team to follow up on Old Li's second trip to the European Cup.
In addition to Li Bing and Beckham, Li Tongfan also invited the doctor Ito Yun as one of the team's accompanying doctors.
Of course, Grede, the old assistant at Real Madrid, was also invited.
Old Li was also deliberately giving Old Ge a chance, hoping that he could one day take over the Real Madrid coaching position as he dreamed of.
In this way, together with the other coaches left in the original Bosque team, the coaching team of the Spanish team for the European Cup was settled.
…
June 2.
The Spanish team set off from Madrid and headed for Poland.
The opening ceremony and the opening match of the 2012 European Cup will be held at the Warsaw National Arena in Poland on June 8.
The Spanish team was divided into Group D, which is called the "death group" by the outside world. Because the Gallic rooster France team was also divided into this group, the other two opponents are Denmark and Slovakia.
In addition to the French team, Denmark and Slovakia can be regarded as typical European strong teams, representatives of physical strength.
Needless to say, the Danish team that once created the Danish fairy tale, even the "seemingly weak team" Slovakia, they have super celebrities such as Skrtel, Witek and Hamsik in their team. In the 2010 World Cup, when most people were not optimistic, they eliminated Italy unexpectedly, which shocked countless people. It can be regarded as a new upstart in European football in the past two years and should not be underestimated.
The three group matches of the Spanish team were all held in Kiev, Ukraine.
Therefore, the base camp chosen by Li Tongfan for the team was set at the Tokostna Hotel in Kiev. This hotel is less than 2 kilometers away from the Kyiv Olympic Stadium, the venue of the game. Although it is not in the city center of Kyiv, it is one of the few five-star hotels in Kyiv. It has a swimming pool, gym and other sports and entertainment facilities. Moreover, it is not in the bustling center of the city, which can also ensure the team's rest.
On the day the team stayed at the hotel, they were welcomed by the fans. Many fans who arrived earlier and local fans who like the Spanish team surrounded the hotel entrance and cheered loudly.
The Spanish team's training ground was chosen at the training base of the Ukrainian giant Dynamo Kyiv.
This matter was thanks to the Ukrainian superstar Shevchenko for his help.
Shevchenko almost fell into a slump at Chelsea, but later he appreciated Lao Li and regained his superstar style in Newcastle. Although he later transferred away from Newcastle, he has been performing well since then.
He just left Europe this season and came to Dynamo Kyiv. Because he had a good personal relationship with Li, Shevchenko took the initiative to help the Spanish team contact the training base of Dynamo Kyiv without waiting for Li to speak. He claimed to the outside world that it was just a lease, but in fact he only paid a symbolic amount of venue fees.
Compared with the schedules of other teams in the same group, the Spanish team was obviously much smoother and more comfortable.
Spanish reporters reported this matter to the country.
Crazy Li's name was once again passed on by crazy La Liga fans.
...
Time passed.
Before the official opening of this European Cup, the Spanish team finally contacted several teams for warm-up matches.
Like the warm-up match results when Crazy Li coached the club before, the Spanish team's record in these warm-up matches was not outstanding. Three games, one draw, one win and one loss, can only be described as unsatisfactory.
After these three warm-up matches, the Spanish team's roster for the 2012 Poland-Ukraine European Cup was finally determined.
Some people who were not optimistic about it were lucky to stay.
There are some surprising names on the list of eliminated players.
Ten players have left the Spanish team, with the most controversial being Barcelona's defensive midfielder Sergio Busquez and goalkeeper Victor Valdes.
As the former main midfielder of the Spanish national team and the most indispensable super player in Barcelona's midfield, Busques did not suffer any injuries or discomfort, but in the end he failed to get the recognition of Crazy Li.
It's a similar story for Valdez.
Puyol was old and frail, but still capable of fighting and experienced, but he was kicked out.
Obviously, these three unlucky guys are not well received by Crazy Li.
This has led some people to revive the so-called "Crazy Li persecuting Barcelona" argument.
You must know that in the various scolding battles with Crazy Lee in the past, Busquets, Puyol and Valdes were always at the forefront, and their relationship with Crazy Lee was not good.
However, when reporters posed such a question to Madman Li in the press conference, the man rolled his eyes and denied it, retorting categorically: "Is this persecution? I am caring about Barcelona. Think about it, Bu The two main players, Sikes and Valdes, can get a whole holiday and he will definitely perform well next season. I am completely kind-hearted! If you are not satisfied, I can let Barcelona have more players. A few rest..."
There are also some careful reporters who compared the number of people selected for the national team between Barcelona and Real Madrid. The former has Xavi, Iniesta, Thiago, Pedro, Pique, and David Villa, and Real Madrid has six players. There are Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, Xavi Alonso, Fabregas, Juan Mata...
Judging from the comparison of the number of people, the two giants have almost the same number of people selected for the national team. There is no need to talk about who is favoring and persecuting whom.
Under the persuasive power of facts, all kinds of rumors could not last long and quickly disappeared.
Things are starting to look good.
…
June 8, 2012.
The Poland-Ukraine European Cup, which attracts worldwide attention, is about to begin.
At the National Athletic Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, hundreds of millions of fans around the world witnessed the opening ceremony and opening game of this European Cup in various ways.

Before the start of the Group D match, the game with the biggest score did not come from a home match - [Stars and Crescent Legion] The Turkish team swept the Swedish team 4:0 at the Donbas Athletic Stadium, creating the first wave of the 2012 European Cup. climax.
June 11, 17:00 pm. .
The Spanish team's first game officially kicked off at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev.
The Kyiv Olympic Stadium is the designated final venue for this European Cup, so Spanish reporters can’t wait to shout the slogan “Start with the Olympics, End with the Olympics”, hoping that the team can complete the game perfectly under the leadership of Crazy Li This European Cup trip. In recent years, the Spanish team has been recognized by world football as the strongest team with the most advanced playing style, but it has never been able to reach the top in the World Series. This can not but be said to be a big regret. Now it is better. , the insurmountable mountain that blocked the road in the past has now become its own coach. The Spanish team is eagerly waiting for the Spanish team to reach the top of this tournament!
Sure enough, the Spanish team's first game did not disappoint those fans who were looking forward to victory like a drought-stricken farmer looking forward to the rain. Crazy Li led the team to sweep Denmark 3:0 and won the first victory beautifully.
In this game, Crazy Li arranged the starting combination of David Villa, Pedro and Torres. Midfielder Alonso, Fabregas and Xavi started. Iniesta, who was slightly injured, started in the second half. Just got a chance to play, Barcelona youngster Thiago also got 10 minutes of performance stage, which fully illustrates the importance that Crazy Li attaches to this youngster.
In the end, relying on Torres's two goals and Pedro's goal, the Spanish team won 3:0. Villa, Xavi and Cesc Fabregas assisted the team on the line.
After this game, Lao Li's support in Spain increased incredibly again.
The Spanish media, including pro-Barcelona media such as Mundo Deportivo and Daily Sports, also had to admit that Xavi, Iniesta, Thiago and Pique got the opportunity to play in the first game. It proved that Crazy Li is a super coach with magnanimity and court wisdom. He indirectly apologized for their previous behavior of treating a gentleman with a villain's heart.
After the game, media from other countries also praised the Spanish team's first game.
Time passed, and the first round of the 2012 European Cup group stage came to an end soon. Among all the strong players who showed up, the performances of the French team and the Dutch team were disappointing. They each lost to their opponents 0:1, which was the biggest upset since the opening of this European Cup.
…
After the first round of the group stage, the second round begins immediately.
The Spanish team got a chance to rest. Taking advantage of this time, Lao Li and the coaching staff started training non-stop, trying to get the players to throw away the influence of the previous tactical thinking of the Del Bosque era and adapt to Lao Li's own tactics as soon as possible.
Fortunately, both Del Bosque and Lao Li advocate offense, so it is not that difficult to change.
Time passed, and soon the second match of the Spanish team arrived.
This match attracted worldwide attention, because the opponent of the Spanish team was the [Gallic Rooster] France. This was a life-and-death battle.
In the first group match, the French team lost 0:1 to Slovakia. Ham-Sik scored a goal, making Ribery and Nasri swallow the bitter fruit of defeat. The current situation is very unfavorable for the French team. It seems extremely difficult to defeat the Spanish team of Crazy Li. In this case, they will lose two games in a row. After two consecutive losses, it is only theoretically possible to qualify. For Blanco and his disciples, there is no possibility of retreat.
On June 19, the sun was scorching.
The Spartan Arena was like a huge sauna, steaming hot.
The stands that can accommodate 50,055 people were packed. Crazy fans raised all kinds of hot banners. French fans painted the tricolor national flag on their faces and held live roosters in their hands, while some Spanish fans wore bright bullfighter costumes and held realistic imitation swords in their hands, cheering for the team!
Force!
Lao Li did not change the starting lineup in this game, and continued the formation against Denmark in the previous game.
What surprised Lao Li and many people was that the French team changed its previous tactical style, strictly defended, and played a dull and rigid defense counterattack without caring about the face of the strong team. To be more precise, in fact, in many cases, the French team only defended, did not counterattack, and guarded their own half of the field without leaking a drop.
The hot weather, the dull game, and the consequences of the game that no one could ignore made the atmosphere of this afternoon seem extremely depressing and urgent. The sky and the earth were like a steamer, making people sweat all over. The fans in the stands were even harder than the players fighting on the field!
The first half of the game ended quickly, and the two sides played 0:0.
The French team put themselves in the position of the weaker team and implemented defense very thoroughly. Although the Spanish team attacked like a tide, they have not been able to pose a fatal threat to the French team's goal. The players of both sides walked into the locker room of the stadium sweating profusely...
The fifteen-minute break ended quickly, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.
The Spanish team strengthened the attack, and the French team seemed determined to implement the defense to the end. Blanco had replaced the defensive personnel continuously. The successful defensive tactics in the first half made him only want the one point of the draw. For the French team, since defeating Crazy Li is out of reach, then a point of a draw can make the French team survive. Losing a little face is nothing.
And Blanco's tactics are also moving towards success bit by bit.
