Iron Man on the pitch

It was August soon, but before the club gathered, Li Ling received a call from the Portuguese national team. His naturalization procedures and other procedures were all handled in an orderly manner with the help of Jorge Mendes. It has to be said that having such an agent has indeed avoided a lot of trouble.

Sporting Lisbon was recruited far more than Li Ling. Under the leadership of the young captain Joao Moutinho, they came to the national team to report.

There is a saying that one person can attain enlightenment, and a chicken and a dog can ascend to heaven. Of course, it was not Li Ling who achieved success at this time. These good luck guys who were able to enter the Portuguese national team borrowed the east wind of Sporting Lisbon to win the Portuguese Super League championship.

Including Pedro Mendes, Miguel Veroso, Ledesson who were already on the Portuguese national team roster, and Joao Moutinho and Rue who had not entered the Portuguese national team. I Patricio, and Li Ling, the number of players selected for the national team of Sporting Lisbon has reached 6.

"Coach Paul didn't come? It's a pity." Li Ling and Joao Moutinho walked into the training ground with a chat and laugh.

"Hahaha, you don't know. The coach waited for the Football Association to fire Queros every day and sent him an invitation. That was a thrilling look." Joao Moutinho happily patted his belly.

Miguel Veroso and Rui Patricio, who were following the two, couldn't help laughing.

Unlike the remaining two thirty-year-old men selected by Sporting Lisbon, the four young people are usually more fun in the team and are willing to act together after coming to the national team.

"Uh..." Their smiles suddenly froze. It was not because they were caught by head coach Queros, but because they found that Ronaldo and Pepe, who had changed into training clothes, were appearing from the other side of the passage.

A group of substitutes and even marginal people complained about the head coach, but were caught by the main players in the team, and the scene was inevitably awkward.

"Hi!" Despite feeling a little embarrassed, the four people raised their hands and greeted them first.

Compared to the nervousness of the other three, Li Ling is not that embarrassed. After all, with a systematic foundation, coupled with the experiences of later generations, even if he fails to succeed in playing football and fails to win a billion reputation, he cannot buy any other ones. Extraordinary talents and abilities, but even if you just buy the abilities of ordinary people, you can still live a free life, of course from the perspective of ordinary people.

With a sufficient retreat, I have confidence in my heart, so Li Ling never had a psychological burden when playing football. He just thought about how to fight and didn’t have to worry about the consequences of failure. So at this moment, in addition to raising his hand to echo, Li Ling looked back and forth at Ronaldo and Pepe. After all, it was the first time he saw the two people alive in reality, so he was inevitably a little curious.

Ronaldo's expression was expressionless at this time. He probably had just left Manchester United and came to Real Madrid. He felt a little unhappy in his heart, so he just nodded politely, and he didn't care about the behavior of the young people whispering Queros in his heart.

Pepe is different from the vicious monk on the field in the public's impression. He touched his bald head and smiled very kindly: "Everyone is chatting, it doesn't matter."

He looked around and then deliberately lowered the volume: "The team's tactics are a mess, and you know that they have played very badly so far in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers."

Pepe said, while quietly glanced at Ronaldo: "Chris is depressed because he is worried about the prospects of the national team. If we can't win the next game, we can't qualify first in the group. It will be mid-term next season When the club is at its most intense time, go to play in the playoffs. No one can guarantee the state of the situation at that time."

"Don't forget to have to be second in the group to enter the playoffs, and second in other groups is not easy to deal with." Ronaldo added suddenly.

Pepe was stunned, turned around and looked at Ronaldo with an exaggerated expression of surprise.

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

"What can we do?" Li Ling blurted out a very standard Lisbon accent, which made Ronaldo and Pepe look at him in surprise.

"Are you the magical boy that Louis strongly recommends? Lisbon's new Ronaldo?" Perhaps it was because Pepe's funny joke, Ronaldo's expression was much cheerful.

"Wow, I am a planning player, and you are also a planning player. Isn't this a coincidence? I am from Brazil..." Pepe enthusiastically extended his hand to Li Ling.

"Huaxia." Li Ling stretched out his hand and held it with Pepe, shook it twice, and turned to Ronaldo.

"Come on." Ronaldo also shook hands with Li Ling and shook them twice.

"Although we can't do anything, no matter how confused the coach is, we can only run the tactics according to his requirements, but we hopeYou can show the talent and attitude of young people in training classes, and including Pedro Mendes, you can let others see the midfield of Sporting Lisbon. ”

The other three young men looked at each other, but Li Ling thought: "It is a relatively safe idea to use the tacit understanding of the club's teammates to make up for the players' lack of strength."

"Look, I just said he is not simple, right?" Pepe patted Ronaldo on the shoulder, then turned his head and looked at Li Ling with great relief, "Can you see our current predicament?"

"Since you have no objection, I'll just say it." Li Ling said as he walked towards the stadium, and everyone followed.

"The biggest problem in Portugal now is that the players' ability is not good, but they still have to insist on playing 4-3-3." Li Ling began to talk.

"First center Ledesson," Li Ling suddenly looked at his three friends, "You are not allowed to complain to Ledesson secretly."

The three of them nodded in a hurry.

"Although Ledesson is a traditional shooting center, Cristiano's scoring ability is much stronger than him, and the center that is most suitable for Cristiano is that he can tear the opponent's defense, has superb foot skills, and serves as a fulcrum. The center. Obviously, there is no such center in Portugal at the moment."

"In the other winger position, Simang is too old and Nani is too young."

"The three midfielders who started are well-established, their skills are not outstanding, and they have no tacit understanding between them. In addition, the three forwards, their defense is not good, and they have a very chaotic defense in the midfield and frontcourt, and their offense is organized. Not eye-catching either.”

"In addition, even so, I have to cooperate on the ground. When I encounter the tough Denmark and Sweden, I will be at a disadvantage everywhere."

"That's right, this is how we feel on the court." Ronaldo and Pepe looked at each other, "With such a vision, no wonder Louis tried his best to get him naturalized."

"Do you have a solution?" Ronaldo looked at Li Ling with a scorching look.

"Since the skills and experience of the forward line are not enough to help the team win, it is better to reduce the number of people and make up for it with the active running and fighting spirit of young people. Moreover, Nani's talent is not bad. If I were a coach, I would have set up 4 -4-2 or simply a 4-5-1 lineup, let Nani act as a winger or a wing forward, Cristiano, you play a single arrow, and when attacking, the midfielder can split up people to attack the penalty area."

Li Ling glanced at Joao Moutinho beside him: "This job should be left to me."

"The team's midfield is given to us by a few Sporting Lisbon teams. We can play a stronger level than the average national team's midfield, isn't the same in Spain's midfield?"

"It's right. Compared to the way you look, it sounds at least feasible." Pepe smiled, then looked at Li Ling solemnly, "But the most important thing is that you must play next season. Good results.”

"Haha, don't worry about this." Before Li Ling could speak, Joao Moutinho took over the conversation, "With Li Ling here, our goal next season is to win all domestic championships while also taking the Champions League in the meantime. Enter the quarterfinals.”

"Maybe we can meet in the Champions League." Miguel Veroso also waved his fists with confidence.
