Chapter 133: The Bird's Nest

Beijing Bird's Nest Olympic National Stadium, crowds of people outside the stadium, but they are very orderly, lining up to enter the stadium with tickets.

The Bird's Nest's off-field live broadcast is now a press conference, with Lippi sitting in the middle, next to Li Shiqing and Zhang Xiaobao, who are going to announce the starting line-up for tonight's World Cup qualifiers against Thailand.

These fans and friends entered the Bird's Nest Olympic Stadium with their tickets, and at the same time, they watched the press conference broadcast live in real time on the big screen.

The scene was crowded, Lippi held the microphone in front of the camera, and his face was also a little relaxed, and then he looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Li Shiqing beside him seriously.

In just more than three days of internal training, Zhang Xiaobao has brought too many surprises to everyone in the Chinese team, his adaptability is super strong, and the atmosphere with these big brothers is very harmonious, and they pointed out the shortcomings of their skills and ways to improve them in the corresponding position.

This made Lippi feel a little ashamed, because Zhang Xiaobao was an example to improve the skills of each of them, and it really had such a disgraceful effect.

Therefore, for tonight's game against Thailand, Lippi and other coaching staff of the Chinese team are also full of confidence.

The media at the scene came, there were thirty or forty, and they all quieted down, but the flash in front of the camera kept flashing, and the focus was not Lippi, but Li Shiqing and Zhang Xiaobao.

Lippi took the microphone and knocked lightly twice, signaling that I was about to start talking, and the scene could be a little quieter.

His face was serious at this time, but his other hand was always gently placed on Zhang Xiaobao's shoulder, which showed that Lippi valued Zhang Xiaobao very much, and he definitely regarded him as the core of the team in this game.

"In today's starting lineup, we continue the tactics of Xiaobao in the Bundesliga, with him as the core of the offensive organization, so Xiaobao's position is the position of midfielder and free man."

When Lippi announced everyone's location, and then Zhang Xiaobao said the last thing, which immediately attracted bursts of screams and cheers from the reporters at the scene.

After all, Xiaobao's performance in the Bundesliga is unusually outstanding, and the tactics around him also make it easier for the players to play, and more importantly, in the earth-shattering La Liga debut, Zhang Xiaobao's performance is really shown to the world, I am only 13 years old, but my worth is definitely more than 50 million.

Not only the news in the stadium, the media reporters were cheering and excited, and even the fans outside the stadium and those in the bird's nest inside the stadium also let out deafening cheers, because in their opinion, Lippi was right to formulate tactics specifically for Zhang Xiaobao.

Recalling the 2019 Women's World Cup, the words of the women's football coach and the subsequent tactical arrangements were very unfair to Wang Shuang, the only world-class football star in China at that time, and the subsequent games did not play very well.

In fact, it turns out that it is easiest to develop the overall offensive and defensive tactics with genius as the core, after all, genius is genius, not like some coaches say I want the whole team, not a certain star.

In addition, Zhang Xiaobao successfully mingled with that group of gentlemen with his strong personal strength and social skills, so Lippi was really confident this time.

"Tonight's Bird's Nest, it should be full of spectators, in fact, I am also very honored and excited to lead our new generation of superstar Zhang Xiaobao, although he is only 13 years old, but his performance in the world and in Europe is obvious to all, and he belongs to the common wealth of our fans in China, let's cheer for him together, my words are here, presumably it is not too early, we still have to go to the field for a short time to adapt to training, so today's press conference is here, Thank you to the media. ”

When Lippi said this, he put down the microphone, and then gently patted Zhang Xiaobao on the shoulder, gave him a thumbs up, and then said in English: "Come on Xiaobao, we all believe in you, win or lose, you just play well." ”

In fact, Zhang Xiaobao only learned about the news of the national football team when he returned to China a few days ago.

If he didn't win the Thai team on behalf of the Chinese team tonight, he would have lost when he played away in Thailand, and this is already the second half of the World Cup group stage qualifiers.

Through her sister's real-time translation, Zhang Xiaobao also gave affirmative glances to Lippi and other relevant personnel of the coaching staff, as well as all the media reporters present.

Then the press conference ended, Zhang Xiaobao, Li Shiqing, the coaching staff and other players of the Chinese team walked into the team's VIP channel.

I have to say that because Zhang Xiaobao's joining scene was really full, and there were many places, because of the strong demand of the fans, some standing positions could not be added, so the number of people watching the entire Bird's Nest exceeded 100,000.

The fans at the scene were almost all red national team fan uniforms, and the team organized by the fans waved a huge five-star red flag, and at the same time, shouted with their own megaphone, Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao changed into a jersey, and his number is the well-known No. 10!

Prior to this, the No. 10 of the Chinese team was Wu Lei, but in the past few days of training, Wu Lei was very simple and generous, and handed over the number No. 10 to Zhang Xiaobao.

So when Lippi announced the starting list and the numbers of the team's players, not only the reporters, but also the fans, there was a sensation.

"Looking forward to the performance of Xiaobao and Wu Lei, our 5-goal king running position has always been world-class, if there is a top midfielder like Xiaobao to feed him, I believe our martial arts king will definitely score!"

"After watching the training video broadcast by CCTV a few days ago, with Xiaobao's midgut, Wu Lei's offensive strength has really been greatly strengthened, I am really looking forward to it"

"I hope the tickets we bought tonight won't disappoint us, but no matter if you win or lose, I support Xiaobao, and I won't spray Xiaobao if I spray the national football team!"

"Ao, come out, come out, Xiaobao come out, Xiaobao Xiaobao!"

"Xiaobao!"

Suddenly, when Zhang Xiaobao followed the crowd to appear on the court and conduct a short training, it was basically full, and there were many additional temporary seats, and the fans and friends on the temporary seats all issued their most sincere and louder shouts.

Zhang Xiaobao was also in a very good mood at this time, and he was even more excited, waving his hands like fans and friends in the stands in all directions greeting and smiling.

After Zhang Xiaobao's name was shouted, these audience members also shouted Wu Lei's name loudly.

Wu Lei and Zhang Xiaobao passed the ball to each other on the field, and they did not let the ball land, which immediately attracted bursts of cheers and screams from fans and friends in the audience.

Then Zhang Xiaobao gently pulled the ball back a little, Wu Lei ran quickly, Zhang Xiaobao volleyed, at least kicked the ball to, 30 meters away, and Wu Lei used his chest to stop the ball at his feet with his knees, as if he was stuck at his feet.

Then in one go, the ball did not hit the ground on the ground, and was directly volleyed into the net by Wu Lei.

The fans and friends at the scene cheered again.

In fact, Wu Lei's current mature master-level ball stoppage all depends on Zhang Xiaobao's individual training and guidance for him in the past three days, because he has completely mastered the mystery and mystery of stopping the ball.

Then Wu Lei and Zhang Xiaobao made eye contact, understood each other, and then Wu Lei walked to the goal, holding the ball in the goal.

At this time, Zhang Xiaobao just trotted to the middle of the horizontal line of the big penalty area.

Wu Lei passed the ball directly to Zhang Xiaobao from the middle of the goal line, using a high-altitude pass.

Zhang Xiaobao kicked the ball directly in the direction of the goal, and the ball also hit the middle of the crossbar of the goal with strong strength, and then rebounded to Zhang Xiaobao's feet.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiaobao gently knocked the ball up again, and shot hard, the ball shot to the middle of the crossbar again, and at the same time, he shot 10 shots in a row.

Before the game started, Zhang Xiaobao's performance made all the fans and friends on the scene climax.

Lippi and others also had smiles on their faces, he was really pleased, because he believed that the Chinese team had Zhang Xiaobao and he was absolutely confident that he would bring China into the World Cup.

In the other half of the stadium, on the Thai side, their faces were not as relaxed and mocking the Chinese team as before.

Other people are also looking at the 1.58-meter striker on their side seriously, but they have some doubts in their hearts, whether the 1.58-meter striker on their side can beat the 13-year-old 1.5-meter midfielder and striker of the Chinese team and don't feel that the free man Zhang Xiaobao is there, because his volley from the dead corner just now hit the crossbar of the goal frame, which is really shocking, and it was seen at close range on the spot, which shows that Shaolin's skills are really strong.

Time passed quickly, Zhang Xiaobao and others practiced passing cooperation on the court, as well as fast running and passing cooperation with Wu Lei.

At 7:30 p.m., everyone on both sides returned to their coaching area and then back to the players' tunnel as the host began to preside over the game.

"The personnel of the Thai team below are on the stage, and we can give us a round of applause and warm welcome." A male host at the scene said in a high voice, but after all, this is the home of the Chinese team, 99% of these fans are Chinese, and they are of course worried about Thailand's previous arrogance, so although they also clapped Baba to think of applause, but they were all sparse, and of course they did not shout about the Thai team.

"Let's invite the players of our Chinese team to appear!" Another male host at the scene said in a louder voice.

Immediately, 100,000 spectators stood up directly from their seats, shouting Zhang Xiaobao's name and slapping at the same time.

What is Star Effect? This is the effect of the top celebrities who are serious about it.

At the same time, the public relations team of the so-called traffic stars on the online media is also constantly updating their headlines, saying that they support the Chinese team, but they don't actually want to take advantage of Zhang Xiaobao's traffic.

Each player has a caddie in his hand, and Zhang Xiaobao is holding the hand of a female caddie.

I don't know if it was intentional or what, although the female ball boy arranged for Zhang Xiaobao is only 8 years old, whether it is appearance or skin, it is simply perfect to explode.

Immediately, the fans and friends at the scene cheered and screamed, saying that this is simply a childhood sweetheart, a match made in heaven.

However, these fans and friends are just joking and saying this, they already know that Zhang Xiaobao has basically decided to marry Li Shiqing as his wife.

At the same time, the director also took a big camera from time to time to shoot Li Shiqing on the coach's side.

In fact, this is also to help increase the popularity of Li Shiqing herself.

When the Chinese national anthem was played, the 100,000 spectators at the scene were serious and serious, looking at the slowly rising Chinese national flag and singing the March of the Volunteers.

As soon as the national anthem was played, the crowd reached a climax, which means that this World Cup qualifier is about to begin, and they want to witness Zhang Xiaobao make history.
