Chapter 224: A Shameful Warm-Up Match
Luo Li felt slightly annoyed.
You must know that one of the main reasons why I chose the three of them as foreign aid in the first place is because they are from Africa and do not have the superiority of Europeans.
But when he heard their comments about disobedience to management, it was like slapping Luo Li hard, making his face hurt hotly.
Coach Wang saw Luo Li's face flushed, and he "hummed" and said, "Of course, will I lie to you?"
The guy named West had to play left-back, and when I asked him to play right-back, he refused to do it.
And the guy named Kanu, who was so big that I asked him to play as a centre-back, but he didn't obey the command and had to play as a striker.
The most annoying thing was Okocha, I asked him to play at left-back, but he actually quit. Tell me, can these people still manage, can they be used, can they ......
Hey, Mr. Luo, what's wrong with you?"
Coach Wang's anger stopped at Luo Li, and as he complained, he suddenly sat on the chair and fell into dementia as if he had had a stroke.
West, at the age of 17, led the team to win the Ligue 1 and French Cup double as Auxerre's main left-back.
Kanu, Ajax's main striker, led the team to an epic Champions League victory over peak AC Milan at the age of 17. Since then, he has played for Inter Milan and Arsenal, winning the African Footballer of the Year twice.
And Okocha, as Africa's Baggio and Zidane, one of the most delicate players in the history of world football, was arranged by this coach to play left-back?
The past experiences of the three cores of the African Eagles flashed through Luo Li's mind like a marquee, which made him not hear Coach Wang's surprised inquiry at all.
It wasn't until many people felt that something was wrong and stared at Luo Li that he slowly let out a depressed sigh and sat up straight.
Seeing that Luo Li's dull gaze gradually returned to clarity, Coach Wang said coldly: "If Mr. Luo feels uncomfortable, go and rest first." Luo will not be interested in discussing these professional fields. ”
As soon as Coach Wang's words fell, Luo Li shook his head. The helplessness in his heart swallowed him up like a flood. At this moment, he wanted to be angry and tell these old diehards that the three foreign players are the ones who want to become world-class stars.
But he also knew that it would not be easy to convince these old diehards. Once you insist on it, it is likely to cause their collective backlash, and the club will also be messed up by them.
The team is about to go on the campaign, so it's all about unity and stability.
"Coach Wang, I respect your ideas, so let's follow your ideas. So after analyzing the opponent, now can you tell me how our training is going?" Luo Li finally chose to avoid the important and light.
Sure enough, Coach Wang's face softened and said, "During the days when Coach Zhou was away, we focused on physical training. One is to reserve the necessary physical strength for the competition. The second is also to enable the players to pass the 12-minute run and the YOYO test. ”
Luo Li understands that the 12-minute run and the YOYO test mentioned by Coach Wang are a strange system at the beginning of the establishment of the Xia Guo Football League.
Only footballers who pass these two tests are eligible to register for the league. On the news that year, Luo Li saw a lot of news about these two tests and pictures of football players complaining.
One of the famous cases is that Li Hongjun, a national team player, did not pass the 12-minute run test and was disqualified from participating in the league.
However, Coach Wang's training is obviously preparing for the league, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with the Asian Cup. So Luo Li had no choice but to grit his teeth and euphemistically expressed his dissatisfaction with them only practicing physical fitness and not actual combat: "Well, it's good." It seems that Coach Wang has made targeted preparations, but I still recommend doing more actual combat drills, so that the athletes can be familiar with each other's positions and increase tacit understanding. ”
As soon as his words fell, Wang Bin on the side hurriedly smiled: "Mr. Luo is right, so we will arrange a training match this afternoon." ”
"Oh, which team are you playing with?" Luo Li heard Wang Bin's words, and the dissatisfaction in his heart weakened slightly.
"We have invited the Quang Nam University Students!" Wang Bin replied immediately. But it made Luo Li's jaw drop in shock. "What the hell?
Luo Li was indeed a little surprised, it is said that this kind of warm-up game before the big tournament will usually arrange a team with similar technical and tactical play to the future opponent to play.
Just like before the 2002 World Cup, Portugal, which was in the same group as South Korea, found a summer team with a similar style of play to warm up, and finally won 2:0.
But what is a college team? An amateur team within an amateur?
Luo Li set his eyes on the team leader Wu Maocai, as if asking him about the truth.
Wu Maocai saw Luo Li looking at him, and immediately got up and said with a smile: "That's the case, Mr. Luo, who is about to participate in the Asian You Cup, so we are ready to focus on recovery." After all, there has been too much physical training these days, and the players are a little tired. So finding an amateur team to warm up, practice hands, and win a few more is also an encouragement to the spirit of the players. ”
After Luo Li listened to the explanation, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
With more than a week to go until the first group stage, isn't this the time to carry out targeted training, but these guys are thinking about relaxing?
But I think of these uncles who don't even know what formation the three opponents play, so how can they conduct targeted training.
This made Luo Li feel depressed. At this moment, thousands of Cao Nima flew by in his heart, but he smiled aggrievedly on his face: "In this case, then you can recover and relax, and I will not interfere with your work." ”
After speaking, Luo Li patted Wang Bin on the shoulder under the embarrassed gaze of everyone and left the venue with him.
At 2 p.m., the warm-up game started on time.
But the team's general manager, Wang Bin, was nowhere to be seen, and only Luo Li and Sabina sat in the stands with few spectators, watching the players entering the field.
Soon, Luo Li saw the abnormality. Because the players on the field were all listless without exception, only Coach Wang's roar kept coming into Luo Li's ears, telling him that this was an official game.
"Luo Li, this is the team that won the second place in the league? It's not as intense as our community competition. After watching it for more than ten minutes, Sabina glanced at Luo Li, who had an ugly face.
After finishing speaking, he took out his headphones and stuffed them into his ears, listened to the music and closed his eyes to recuperate.
"I said I only have you in my eyes, and only you make me breathless......"
Sabina sang softly along with the music in the MP3, not even noticing that Luo Li had clenched her fists.
The first half, which was flat and slow-paced, was finally over. Both teams went into the break with a score of 0:0.
But Luo Li, who had been suffering for 45 minutes, was already angry, he stood up and left the audience suddenly, and walked over to Wu Maocai, who greeted him with a smile.
