Liaozu returned home with his teammates, and Milanello returned to its former tranquility.

However, Milan did not calm down as fans flocked to the San Siro to watch the team's home game.

Ever since Li Tie and the transfer were discussed, the Italian media has been praying: hoping not to make a set of "Chinese and Western" jokes.

Including Ou Chuliang, Milan bought three Chinese players this season. Will you buy more after the new season?

Do you really want a Serie A giant with a long history like Milan to have Chinese at the core? Do you really want to make the Milan derby "China vs Italy"?

There are not a few fans who maintain this kind of argument, but for the sake of Ou Chuliang or their starting goalkeeper, they still put up with it for the time being.

In today's game, Ou Chuliang still started, and even to the surprise of fans, Li Tie also entered the 18-man squad.

"Looks like Zaccheroni is serious this time!"

"He must be addicted to using Chinese players!"

"Maybe we will see three Chinese players on the field in the next game!"

The game went well, scoring two goals in the first half, and Salernitana were only a relegation team after all.

At the start of the second half, Boban scored another goal to seal the win early.

"Beautiful! The Milan gang has finally woken up! They finally understand how important this season is for the club! ”

"yes, just kick, just kick! Keep playing, the championship will be ours after all! ”

"There is no need for anyone else in the Milan squad! No, you don't! ”

Amid the shouts from the fans, Zaccheroni made a choice that almost turned the back of the fans who were shouting "no one else is needed".

Li Tie, who was carrying the No. 22 jersey, came on the field, and he replaced Ziggy.

This is the first game of this Chinese player after joining the team, this is the game?!

Let's hope he doesn't play too badly!

The fans looked at the scoreboard, "It's okay, this is the home field, and the team has a three-goal lead, which is enough for him to 'splurge'..."

Although the fans learned some information about Li Tie from the newspaper, they still didn't know anything about Li Tie's ability and performance, so they didn't even applaud.

But on the other side, thousands of Chinese fans suddenly stood up and chanted Mr. Li's name.

"Li Tie, Li Tie, Li Tie, Li Tie!"

These Chinese fans couldn't wait for a long time, and they didn't expect Li Tie to play so quickly.

Watching the familiar cabbage appear on the San Siro stadium at the San Siro, many fans cried.

"Oh my God, I really saw Chinese players running in the world's top leagues in my lifetime! When I return to China, I will go to the temple to make a vow..."

And just like that, Li Tie started his debut to the cheers of thousands of Chinese fans.

The discussion in the stands also shouted at Li Tie, "Come on, come on, if you dare to drag Brother Ou back, I won't be able to spare you when I go back!" I'm going to chop your hair down piece by piece like a cabbage! ”

Li Tie did not score goals, but was specifically responsible for defense.

From the standpoint, it is almost impossible for this player to watch the situation on the field after coming on the field.

In the 79th minute, Li Tie finally re-embodied his role in a "strong dialogue".

In the face of the dribbling of Salernitana's central defender, Li Tie stepped forward from the side to steal.

In order to get rid of Li Tie's defense, the opposing central defender hurriedly kicked forward, hoping to rush to the position behind Li Tie before he rushed over.

But he underestimated Li Tie's explosiveness.

From the outside, Li Tie is not a speed-type player, but this does not affect his explosive ability in one step.

In the moment after the opponent's central defender kicked out, Li Tie suddenly took a quick step forward, just stuck between the player and the ball.

In such an instant, Li Tie cut off the connection between the opponent's central defender and the ball. The opposing centre-back fell to the ground as if he had hit a wall.

However, Li Tie ran to the sideline like no one, but in the end did not prevent the ball from going out of bounds.

While the assistant coach was helping Li Tie pick up the ball, Zaccheroni encouraged with satisfaction: "Lee, well done!" ”

Li Tie nodded and didn't say anything more. After receiving the ball, he glanced at his teammates who came to receive the ball and threw the ball to the opponent.

Three minutes later, it was Li Tie who jumped high and cleared the ball above the head of the opposing striker.

In just ten minutes after entering the game, Li Tie appeared in the camera six times, including four close-ups.

It was a good performance, but it also showed that Milan still didn't live up to Zaccheroni's ideal of keeping the line down to midfield.

But does that make a difference? Anyway, the game has already been won, and the fans are only responsible for cheering!

"Yo, this 22nd is really good!"

"Yes, although the technology is a little rougher, it is still very trustworthy at the critical moment!"

"How much does he cost? 200W？ It's not a small number. But the performance is barely strong. ”

"It's okay, I heard that he used to be a teammate of Ou's national team and once won the World Youth Championship together, and even Henry and Owen suffered a lot under his feet."

"Well, that's not bad! Well, I take back the previous words, I think he's worth the 200W! ”

"Nope! It's not enough to be worth just two million, Milan doesn't need a player who is only worth 200W to supplement the team, I hope he has a better performance..."

After the game, the fans quickly remembered Li Tie, but a large part of it came from the cheers of the Chinese fans.

After the game, many Chinese fans were reluctant to leave, they clung to the railing, hoping to get Li Tie's jersey, and at the same time stretched out their hands to shake hands with their idols.

"Oh my God, these fans are so hot!"

"yes, they're like a bunch of zombies, look at their expressions, it's terrifying..."

"Is this player really that good?"

"No, it seems that it's just fame..."

Li Tie's debut performance was decent, and he handed over a "passing" answer sheet.

Of course, it would have been better if Li Tie had contributed a few beautiful passes. However, in the past ten minutes, except for the meaningless cross in the backfield, Li Tie did not send even a long pass to his forward teammates.

Of course, this has to do with the request of Zaccheroni and Occhulian.

“... Lee has never been an offensive player, and we didn't buy him according to the standards of an offensive player! In the post-match press conference, Zaccheroni spoke eloquently.

"From a professional point of view, Lee's performance was excellent and I am very satisfied."

"It's no exaggeration to say that he has a spirit that no other player has, and that is 'hard work'."

"Such a player will never be greedy or aggressive on the field, and will only honestly complete his tasks."

"Maybe a player like this will lack some creativity, but so what?"

"Are we missing creative players?"

"A great team, with a brilliant striker, must also have an obscure engineer player like Lee who sticks to his post."

"I dare say that if Milan finally win the championship this season, the credit of players like Lee is no worse than that of Oliver!"

After saying Li Tie, Zaccheroni expressed his determination to win the championship in a formal manner, no matter what, in front of the fans and the media, Zaccheroni must show his attitude. Milan has been fighting on a single front this season, and there is no such thing as a smoke bomb at all. Apart from showing his determination to fight against the odds, Zaccheroni had no way out.

In the locker room, Ou Chuliang was also encouraging Li Tie.

"Tiezi, good performance, keep up the good work!"

'Your job is to defend, and just like today, I'm happy with your performance.'

"Just kick like that, and after a long time, you'll find that it's no different from A B here."

"The difference is whether you have a normal heart and look at the game, the opponent and yourself."

"If you keep thinking of yourself as a player in A B, then you are playing A B; If you think you're a Serie A player, you're no worse than any other Serie A player. ”

"Do you understand?"

Li Tie nodded and began to change into casual clothes.

In the locker room, even German fighters like Bierhoff were a little ashamed to see Li Tie's nakedness, let alone the rest of the team.

"Lee, good kick."

"Lee, you can play!"

"Come on, you can do it!"

The other players also came over and patted Li Tie's back and encouraged.

For a player who has never had experience in the top flight before, playing Serie A for the first time without panic, keeping up with the rhythm of the pitch and playing with the coach's tactical arrangements is already a good performance.

Moreover, Li Tie's figure gave these players an inexplicable confidence, at least after an accidental mistake, there was another teammate behind him who could be trusted.

……

On February 6, in the final of the Dunhill Cup International Football Invitational Tournament, the national Olympic team led by Zhu Guanghu still did not get out of the cycle of not winning against South Korea, and was defeated by the South Korean team with a golden ball in overtime and failed to defend the title.

After the two sides in the first half were anxious at the beginning, the South Korean team gradually grasped the initiative on the field and once besieged the door of the Chinese team. On the 16th minute, South Korea had a shot in the box, which was saved by Chen Dongshen.

With this save as the demarcation, the National Olympic Games fought back and got a lot of shooting opportunities, but they were all outside the penalty area line and did not pose much threat.

When the game reached the 25th minute, Wang Peng, who was pinned on by Chinese fans, left the game early due to a leg injury, which had a certain impact on the attack of the National Olympic Games.

In the 40th minute, Wang Peng's header was called the best chance for the National Olympic goal, when it was Tao Wei who crossed the bottom after breaking the ball, and there was no one in front of the goal, but unfortunately Wang Peng was slightly higher.

In addition to a cold shot in the 16th minute, South Korea had at least three chances to score in the first half, including a flanking in front of goal, a barb in the box, and a long-range shot from outside the box, but none of them went in.

The two sides did not make much adjustment after the change of sides, and the game should have been in the same vein as the first half, but unfortunately an accident occurred in the fifth minute, Hao Wei and South Korea's Lee Dongguo were both sent off, and the managers of both sides had to redeploy their tactics.

Zhu Guanghu used Huang Yong and Zhang Yonghai to strengthen the defense, which was good, but at the same time, it seriously affected the attack of the Chinese team again, while the South Korean team was less affected in this regard.

After 90 minutes, the two sides played 0-0 and had to go to extra time. Unfortunately, in less than two minutes, due to a mistake by the midfielder, the South Korean team was cut off and successfully reversed offside, and Choi Zheyu scored the only goal of the game, so that the South Korean team won the championship.

The coach and players of the South Korean team, who were sitting on the bench, could no longer hold back and threw themselves at their hero Choi Cheol-woo with open arms, hugging each other and rolling together. The South Korean players threw head coach Heo Ding-mao into the sky.

And the Chinese players and Zhu Guanghu were stunned for a moment.

In the next second, Zhu Guanghu couldn't stop shaking his head, lowered his head and scolded fiercely, and after a while, he regained his past appearance and walked on the field to shake hands with the players one by one. Some of the balls lowered their heads in sadness, and he patted him lightly on the face; Some fell to the ground, and he walked over and pulled them up. At this moment, he still did not forget to encourage the players.

On this side, the Chinese team members were lamenting this damn 1 minute; On the other hand, the South Korean team was celebrating the one-minute victory.

The entrance to the stadium was crowded with many South Korean fans, singing, shouting, dancing and celebrating this festival that belongs only to fans.

Zhang Xiaorui bit his lip and bit out the blood from his gums.

He hated himself, hated himself for not taking such a good opportunity to perform.

His teammates followed him, bowing their heads one by one, silent.

When the news came, the whole country lamented again.

has already qualified from the group, and even reached the final and met South Korea, why can't he beat South Korea again and again?

Fans know that such a national Olympic team is not even the second national football team, but looking at the bloody score, they just can't get over the hurdle in their hearts.

"If only Ou Chuliang were here! It will not be the turn of these South Koreans to run rampant! ”

"Zhang Xiaorui still can't do it, he can't afford to take the lead!"

"Alas, that's right! We are on the bench, and it is understandable that the technical, mental, conscious, and tactical execution effect is not as good as others. Let's hope that this will not happen again in the Olympic qualifiers! ”

"Although we played Malaysia to play 7-1, but throughout these five games, we have conceded goals in every game, the overall defense of the region is too poor, the defense line is too deep, it is inevitable to be scored!"

"If you want revenge, you have to wait for a team of those main forces to come back..."

......

When the fans were expecting the national Olympic team to truly achieve the full main lineup and slaughter, they discussed participating in the first training session after joining Milan.

I don't know if it's because his teammates don't trust him very much, and his teammates in the middle rarely feed him the ball, which leads to the discussion of jumping up and down the wing, and running back and forth many times in vain, not to mention crosses and shots.

However, the discussion still gritted his teeth and completed the training seriously. And when other teammates finished training and sought a leisure personal life, they stayed on the field to practice with Ou Chuliang and Li Tie.

"Brother Ou..."

After seeing that everyone was gone, the resolute face immediately turned into a grievance, and he came to Ou Chuliang's side pitifully: "Brother Ou, those foreigners don't give me the ball..."

"Why are they passing you the ball if you don't call them?" Ou Chuliang asked with a smile.

"I, I called them, but they pretended not to hear!"

"Of course they can't hear when you call them in English, you have to shout in their own Chinese language so that he can react immediately."

"But I don't know Italian!"

"That's it, isn't it your own problem?"

Seeing that Ou Chuliang finally threw the problem back, the discussion was even more aggrieved.

"Brother Ou, you are actually facing that group of foreigners, not me..."

"Don't get me wrong!" Ou Chuliang shook his head and walked over with the ball.

"Xiao Yi, first of all, you have to understand that as a foreign aid, especially a foreign player who has just joined the team, it is normal for you to encounter this kind of thing on the field."

"All you have to do is to treat these things with a normal heart, and after a long time, when your teammates understand you and know your strength, they will naturally pass the ball to you at any opportunity."

"But what is the premise of this?"

"Next!"

As soon as the words fell, Ou Chuliang suddenly threw the ball in his hand towards the knee of the discussion.

Discuss subconsciously taking a step back, and at the same time raise your legs to the side of your feet, tense your toes and aim the ball with the arches of your feet.

But Ou Chuliang threw it too fast, and before he could raise his leg, the ball smashed on the arch of his foot and bounced back towards Ou Chuliang.

In the face of the incoming ball, Ou Chuliang struck the same pose.

As soon as the arch of the foot on one side of the body was unloaded downward, the ball honestly stopped at his feet.

"The premise is that you have to have a strength that your teammates can trust, so that when your teammates pass the ball to you, they won't think about whether to pass the ball to you or not, and what the consequences of passing the ball to you will be."

"Got it?"

"Humph! Brother Ou is cheating! The discussion muttered, "Brother Ou, you don't talk about martial arts, you actually sneak attack!" My 18-year-old comrade! Is this good? It's not good! ”

"What nonsense!" Ou Chuliang's brain collapsed on the braincase, "What 18-year-old comrade?" Are you doing well this year? Look at the people who are all running for three! Still pretending to be tender here? Young man, I advise you to do it yourself, practice the basics well, and forget what you said last night? ”

Deliberation covered his head and shook his head like a rattle.

Last night, after taking a shower, he stepped on the mattress shirtless, and in front of Ou Chuliang and Li Tie, he shouted loudly to become the top scorer in Serie A, and let Ou Chuliang and Li Tie supervise.

But at the end of the day, reality gave him a blow to the head, and the future "top scorer of Serie A" almost did not communicate with his teammates on the field, and he didn't even touch the ball a few times, so there was naturally a gap in his heart.

"Xiao Yi, you have to take one step at a time to play football. When you first come to Milan, you must first familiarize yourself with the tactics laid out by the coach, and thoroughly understand the coach's ideas and attacking ideas, so that you can run to the right place at the right time. ”

"If your team-mate knows what the coach thinks at this time, he will find you as soon as possible. That way, you'll have a much higher chance of getting the ball. ”

"As for what happens when you get the ball, it's up to you."

"So the most important thing for you, a newcomer, is to get rid of all your faults on the pitch as much as possible. When you're okay and you're strong, the center of gravity of the team will naturally move closer to you. ”

......

The next day, on the training ground, he recalled what Ou Chuliang had said to him yesterday, and his eyes became much more confident than yesterday.

During training, the discussion began to try to open his mouth and communicate with his teammates in half-baked Italian. Even if you are in a hurry, you must express your meaning clearly.

He felt much happier.

I still have Ou Chuliang to rely on in Milan, and when Ou Chuliang first came to Italy, who did he have to rely on?

All he needs to do is work hard, work hard, work hard, and do his best to complete the tactics assigned by the coach.

Seeing this performance, other Milan teammates also looked at Ou Chuliang's face and began to try to communicate with this new "little comrade".

After the exchange, the number of discussions on winning the ball increased.

One, two, three times later, the deliberate low cross finally worked, and Bierhoff headed the ball into the net with an easy header in front of goal.

"Beautiful!"

"The ball is passed beautifully, and the timing of the kick is also very good!" Maldini, who was in charge of the defense, praised, "This ball may not be touched even if I put it in a tackle!" ”

Shi Yi touched the back of his head and smiled shyly, looking at Ou Chuliang in front of the door and giving him a thumbs up, he felt a lot more confident in his heart.

Zaccheroni on the sidelines also nodded his head incessantly, and the first task of a striker is to integrate himself into the team and complete the attacking tasks up front.

The second is defense.

And the discussion is surprisingly good in terms of physical strength, at least much better than other players of his size!

Turn around quickly and get down quickly. If such a player is willing to take responsibility for the front court steals, it will definitely cause great problems for the opposition defense.

Now that he's finally been involved in a goal in training, will he be far from Zaccheroni's request after taking that first step?

"I hope these Chinese players can bring good luck to Milan!"

"The day will be the moment to decide the fate of Milan!"

"How many Chinese players am I going to bring with me?"

......

For several days in a row, Li Tie, Shang Yi and Ou Chuliang were all training on the same side, and Zaccheroni deliberately arranged several substitutes for them to serve as helpers, in order to see if this "Chinese line" could play a central role.

In the past few days, Li Tie has given full play to his long physical strength, and the discussion has constantly provoked Maldini's nerves in terms of speed.

If Ou Chuliang is like a general commanding the three armies on the city wall, Li Tie is a gate he placed in front of the battle, blocking most of the enemy's offensive path; The discussion is the rangers he sent out, constantly harassing the enemy's rear, and they can't be caught like loaches.

Such a seemingly simple strategy gave Maldini and others a headache for the home team. Ou Chuliang's goal is already difficult to break, except for long-range shots and set-pieces, the only way to penetrate is this.

But Li Tie plays in the back, coupled with the background of a central defender, he is relaxed, and he has absolute trust in Ou Chuliang. Boban has been unsuccessful in making offside several times, don't look at Li Tie's pressure when defending, in fact, his eyes are pointed, and he has been in front of the central defender, not taking a step beyond Lei Chi.

In almost every team training match, the "Chinese team" and the "main team" are on a par!

With the next league game just around the corner, Sport Newspaper published an interview about Batistuta.

"Civilian star-—— Batistuta!"

"At Fiorentina, Batistuta has achieved an astonishing result: 18 goals in 19 games, the top scorer in the charts, much to the delight of the Fiorentina fans. The actions of this famous star in life are very common, and he has won the adoration of more fans because of this. ”

"As a child, Batistuta had two dreams: to travel the world as a traveler and to be a professional footballer. Now both of his dreams have come true. ”

At the age of 17, Batistuta signed with his first professional football club and went on to play for River Plate, Boca Juniors and Fiorentina.

"This season is his eighth year with Fiorentina Club. 1993 was his worst year for Fiorentina, who were relegated to the second division at a time when Batistuta was already famous in Italy and many clubs wanted to poach him. But he thinks the club is already in trouble and if he leaves, it will make things worse for the club. He eventually stayed and worked hard for Fiorentina to return to the First Division. The following year, he continued his fine form, scoring 26 goals throughout the season, the best result in the Italian league in more than 30 years. Eventually, Fiorentina were re-promoted to the First Division. ”

"The fans of Fiorentina showed their gratitude to him by erecting a statue of him next to the stadium, which was previously won only by the football champion Pele."

"Batistuta scored five goals at last year's World Cup in France, and if Argentina hadn't been eliminated too early, he would have scored. After the World Cup, Batistuta planned to transfer, but at this time, the famous coach Trapattoni came to Fiorentina, and he persuaded Batistuta to stay and fight again for Fiorentina. ”

"Trapatoni said: 'Batistuta is the best striker in the world today, he is so committed to football, he is a rare player.' ”

"One player like this is enough to win all the honours that can be reached in Serie A!"

It's no wonder that the Italian media is starting to build momentum, because the next round is the much-anticipated "battle for the top of the list"!

If Milan can beat Fiorentina away from home, they can catch up with each other in points. Although they will be one place behind because of goal difference, there are more than 10 games to go, and Milan have every chance to overtake. Don't forget, Milan is home to the Great Wall of China!

The fans have different opinions and are talking about this wonderful battle.

Barty VS China Europe?

Oh my god, it's exciting to think about!

"It's definitely a Mars vs. Earth battle! I can't wait to see the Argentine iron ball hit the Great Wall of China! ”

The night before the game, after the players were returning home from training, Li Tie suddenly grabbed the corner of the discussion from behind.

"What are you doing?"

Li Tie clenched his fists and pointed behind him with his thumb.

Following Li Tie's thumb, he saw a notice.

It was a notice from the Milan club to the starting players for the next match.

"What? Did you start? Counselor asked.

"Nope."

"I'm starting?"

"Not at all." Li Tie shook his head again.

"And what do you mean?"

"You'll find out just by looking."

Deliberation pursed his lips and walked a few steps behind him with a dissatisfied expression, came to the notice, and looked from top to bottom.

The one written on the top is still Ou Chuliang, and every time he passes by this notice after discussion, he unconsciously looks at it more.

But this time, under Li Tie's reminder, he continued to look down.

When I saw the names of the last two people, I was suddenly stunned.

After a few seconds, the discussion grabbed Li Tie's collar.

"Iron, iron, this, this, what does this mean?"

Looking at the wide eyes of the discussion, Li Tie spread his hands, "Isn't this simple?" You're on the same bench as I am! ”
