There is a belief called football

Chapter 155 Against Barcelona
The day before the start of the game, Li Qiao and Stan were invited to accept an exclusive interview with CCTV. Stan did not agree to go to the media center, but only agreed to be interviewed at the training base. CCTV also accepted Stan's request.

It was Shen Fangjian who interviewed Stan.

Stan took the initiative to greet Shen Fangjian, "You seem to be specifically explaining my game."

Shen Fangjian smiled and said: "Because your team can surprise people every time."

Stan gives a thumbs up, which means well said.

"Let's first congratulate your team for reaching the final, and I hope you can say a few more words in today's interview," Shen Fangjian said.

"But I hope you can let Li Qiao talk more today," Stan said.

"Of course, I'd love to."

*****
After the staff fixed the microphone on Li Qiao, the interview began. This was the first time that Li Qiao faced the camera of the Chinese media after he was expelled from the national team. He wondered what the current public opinion in China was like?Are you still mad at him?

"Are the fans still mad at me"?Li Qiao asked.

Shen Fangjian didn't know how to answer this question, but Stan's brain turned quickly. He said: "As a player, the best way to shut up fans' mouths is to score goals."

"Yes", Shen Fangjian agreed with Stan.

The defeat in Doha is over, but in fact, no one wants to mention it, so Shen Fangjian is so perfunctory.

"Then, Li Qiao, your performance in the game against Santos was very exciting. It can be said that you also have a lot of credit for Guangzhou Tianbao's winning goal."
Li Qiao smiled shyly, facing the naked praise, Li Qiao was still a little shy.

Shen Fangjian continued to ask: "Then, is it because of physical problems or coach Stan's tactical arrangement that we only played half the game?"
Li Qiao looked at Stan. He knew Stan's rules. He was not allowed to discuss his tactics with other people outside the locker room. Stan led the team with strict discipline.

Stan took the words, "You can ask me about tactics."

Shen Fangjian looked at Stan, meaning you said.

"We took the lead in the first half, so in the second half I want to change someone to strengthen the defense",
This is obviously lying with open eyes, because Recoba doesn't defend at all.

This is because Stan wants to repeat the same tactics in the next game against Barcelona, ​​so he doesn't want to say the specific tactics.

Of course, Shen Fangjian couldn't be serious with Stan. He then asked: "Do you have any ideas for playing Barcelona in the next game?"
"It's not convenient to say the specific tactics now," Stein said.

"Oh, no, is there any goal?" Shen Fangjian said persuasively. In fact, what he hoped to hear were Stan's rhetoric.

But Stan changed from normal and became very cautious.

"Enjoy the game",
After hearing Stan's answer, Shen Fangjian was a little disappointed. This kind of interview cannot be broadcast at all. If he goes back, he will definitely be scolded to death by the leader. There is no gimmick at all.

But Stan is the head coach of the team, not an artist, and he has no obligation to cooperate with the media. He looked at his watch, and felt a little bit about to drive people away.

Stan didn't have any hot spots here, and Shen Fangjian was going to find some breakthroughs on Li Qiao, "Li Qiao, the Marseille turn you played in the last game was so beautiful, how did you come up with it."

When Li Qiao talked about this, the chatterbox opened up. He started from meeting "Andrei" in Ukraine, and also talked about his experience of playing freestyle football in Kiev. Li Qiao became more and more excited as he talked, and talked for half an hour.

"It's an interesting story. It seems that your freestyle football experience has helped you a lot," Shen Fangjian said.

"In fact, many players in South American football started playing freestyle football," Stein added.

The time was almost up, Shen Fangjian ended the interview, and as soon as the camera was turned off, Stan said sorry to Shen Fangjian, "I'm sorry, I don't want to talk about the game, I don't want to put pressure on the players."

Shen Fangjian nodded to express his understanding, "Fortunately, Li Qiao told a good story, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to do the job."

Finally, Shen Fangjian stood up, reached out his hand and shook hands with Li Qiao and Stan respectively, "Come on tomorrow, Li Qiao hopes you will become the first Chinese to score in the Club World Cup final."

*****
On December 12th, the "Yokohama International Stadium" was filled with more than 18 people. This may be the first time since the 7 World Cup that the stadium was full.

In the player tunnel, players from both sides lined up and waited to enter the field. At this moment, Li Qiao looked at the ceiling of the player tunnel. He was trying to relax himself. In fact, Messi was standing two meters away from him at this time, but Li Qiao neither greeted him nor looked at his opponent.

"Hi, Li Qiao", a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded behind Li Qiao.

Li Qiao turned around and looked, feeling very excited, "Hi, Sandro, long time no see."

At this time, Sandro in front of Li Qiao has grown into a handsome Argentine boy. In a moment, Li Qiao seemed to have returned to the time when he was in the football school, when he was in the same dormitory with Sandro.

Sandro glanced over Li Qiao in front of him, and greeted Qi Bing in front of Li Qiao, Qi Bing smiled happily when he saw his old friend.

Now Sandro is already a member of Barcelona's first team and was selected into the 18-man squad, but he is not yet the main player, but as long as you look at who is on Barcelona's front line, you will know that it is normal for Sandro to play as a substitute temporarily.

In fact, Li Qiao saw Sandro that day at the race track, but because the two teams were on both sides of the track at that time, Li Qiao didn't go to say hello. Seeing Sandro here today is very exciting for Li Qiao who is very nostalgic.

Sandro was wearing a down jacket. Obviously, he must be a substitute in this game. He handed a small note to Li Qiao, "My phone, Joe", and then he left quickly. After all, Sandro can't stay long in the narrow player tunnel.

*****
After Sandro walked out of the player channel, he saw Stan on the sidelines. He took the initiative to say hello, and Stan hugged Sandro, just like his child, a player he had brought up since childhood.

"Unexpectedly, Stan, we will become rivals when we meet again",
Stan laughed and said, "I didn't expect to see Li Qiao, did you see Qi Bing?"
Sandro nodded.

"When you play later, they won't be polite to you."

Sandro also laughed, and said: "The two of them can't guard against me, they are not as good as me back then, Li Qiao is better, Qi Bing, did I have less training back then?"
Stan touched Sandro's head and said: "Still so confident".

"It's impossible to be in Barcelona without confidence," Sandro said.

At this time Guardiola has come out of the player tunnel, and Sandro has returned to the Barcelona bench.

*****
In the player tunnel, the hustle and bustle of the stadium passes through the narrow player tunnel, which has a magnified effect. It feels like the Roman gladiators walked to the Colosseum. This kind of atmosphere can make people naturally excited.

Li Qiao tried his best to calm his emotions. To be honest, he was a little nervous. This was his first time competing with these big-name players.

He tried his best to keep his eyes away from Messi, but he accidentally met Puyol's eyes. Puyol saw Li Qiao, and the right corner of his mouth turned up. The expression was not only greeting, but also contemptuous.

Li Qiao turned his eyes away and looked at the ceiling above. He felt that looking at any Barcelona player would make him more nervous.

At this time the referee came, which meant that he was about to enter the field. Li Qiao couldn't help but glanced at Messi. He knew that was his future goal, but he was still far away from that goal.

*****
"Friends of the audience, friends of the fans, good evening, we are about to bring you the final of the Club World Cup - the match between Guangzhou Tianbao and Barcelona," Shen Fangjian said.

"Let's ask Tao Wei to introduce the starting list for everyone."
"We are very familiar with Guangzhou Tianbao. In this game, Taiwo was suspended with a red card. Stan chose to let Jacob Sim play as a guest at left back, and then Li Weifeng played at center back," said Tao Wei.

"Then let me introduce you from Barcelona," Shen Fangjian said.

The goalkeeper is "Valdes".

The defense is from right to left, Alves, Pique, Puyol, Abidal.

Midfielders: Iniesta, Busquets, Xavi

Up front: Messi, Fabregas, Thiago
"Barcelona is a 433 formation in this game."

"Except for Mascherano and Pedro, the two players were not in the game, and the other positions are exactly the same as the starting players for Manchester United in this year's Champions League final," Tao Wei said.

"It is conceivable that it is really stressful for Guangzhou Tianbao," Shen Fangjian said.

"Yeah, this year's Barcelona is really unbelievable," Tao Wei said.

"Is it true that Guangzhou Tianbao has no chance at all?"
"I think it's pretty good to be able to reach the final. Giants are not built in a day. Maybe one day in the future, Chinese teams can compete with Barcelona, ​​but today is very difficult," Tao Wei said.

*****
Before the game, Guangzhou Tianbao's captain Nei Kenan and Barcelona's captain Puyol exchanged team flags in the middle circle, and then picked sides under the leadership of the referee.

After picking sides, the referee Nishimura Yuichi confirmed that Barcelona kicked off first. Puyol shook hands with Nekonan, and then ran back to his own half. All Barcelona players formed a circle to mobilize before the game.

Obviously, Barcelona is different from Santos in the previous game. They did not underestimate their opponents and prepared very seriously. This is Guardiola's coaching style, that is, no matter what opponent they face, they are conscientious. Guardiola was like this when he was in the second team of Barcelona, ​​​​studying every opponent.

Messi and Thiago were standing in the center circle ready to kick off. Perhaps it was cold, and Thiago kept rubbing his hands, while Messi remained calm as always, with a blank expression on his face and a football on his feet.

Yuichi Nishimura had the final communication with the line referee through the headset, and after confirming that everything was OK, he blew the whistle to start the game, and the final of the 2011 Club World Cup began in the eyes of all.
