There is a belief called football

Chapter 388 A Higher Realm

Baggio didn't answer right away after listening. Like a persuasive elder, he wanted to hear Li Qiao's thoughts first.

"How do you think the stars did it, like Xavi," Baggio asked.

"I think it is the experience formed by long-term competitions, or something called the sixth sense. After all, if you can't see it, you can only rely on the feeling."
Baggio nodded, "It makes sense, but occasionally guessing right may be called a feeling, if it is often right, then it must not be guessing."

"I know this, but I just can't figure it out",
"Do you mind if I tell a story first"?
"Of course not." Li Qiao put on an expression of interest, ready to listen to the story.

"I lived a hunting life in the jungles of South America for a while after I retired",
"I saw this in the news," Li Qiao said.

"You know, I didn't know what to do when I first went, even though my shotgun was equipped with the most advanced sighting equipment",
"why"?
"Because you can't see the prey at all, the prey are hiding in the bushes," Baggio said.

"That……",
"Later my companion told me, Robert, that hunting should not be done with eyes, but with ears."

"I saw that he heard the sound of the prey moving in the jungle. Following the sound, he raised the shotgun and hit the prey with one shot."

"sound……"?Li Qiao was thoughtful.

"In fact, it's the same on the football field. Sometimes you don't rely on your eyes to play football, but your ears."

"Does it mean that I have been playing football wrong for a long time?" Li Qiao thought to himself, because Li Qiao used to rely on memory to forcefully memorize the positions of his teammates in his mind.

"It's not wrong, it's just not enough," Baggio said.

"But it's so noisy on the court, I can't hear anything clearly," Li Qiao said.

Baggio chuckled, "The sound of sneakers touching the lawn, the sound of football rubbing against the lawn, the breathing of opponents and teammates, these sounds are small, but they exist. I think Harvey and the others can filter out the information they need from these noisy sounds."

Li Qiao felt enlightened after listening to it, "Robert, did you do it?"
"No, I scored from the front, so the pass was almost fine," Baggio said.

"But I seem to have reached a higher level",
"There is a higher realm"?Li Qiao asked.

In Li Qiao's view, the realm that Baggio just described is unattainable, how could there be a higher realm.

"It's hard to explain, but it seemed to me that during the years at Brescia, I could play with my heart," said Baggio.

"Kick the ball with your heart"?
"Hehe, this is my personal football philosophy. I have never told anyone about it. I think football is divided into three realms-eyes, ears, and heart."

"What the hell is that feeling"?Li Qiao asked.

"I don't know how to say it, I just know it's like that, but I can't say it," Baggio said.

Baggio's inability to say it proves that he really understands it. The so-called "Tao can be said, very Tao", this is the first sentence in the "Tao Te Ching", which means "If the Dao can be said, then it is not the Dao."

The real truth needs to be experienced by you, and it is impossible for others to tell you.

Baggio finally said: "Joe, when you reach that state, you will understand yourself."

Li Qiao nodded, "Thank you Robert, after talking with you, I think it is more useful than my own study for 10 years."

Baggio laughed, "I like your compliments."

This is not a compliment, but Li Qiao’s real thoughts. Talking about football with a world football player like Baggio, Li Qiao seems to be not in the noisy "Prince Park Stadium" at this time, but on the top of a snow-capped mountain. There is a feeling of unobstructed view. Although it is impossible for Baggio to tell Li Qiao the "road", he opened Li Qiao’s vision and let Li Qiao know that his level is still so low, but the level of football can reach such a high level!
Three whistles brought Li Qiao back to reality. Looking up, the first half was over. Looking at the big screen, the score was still 0-0.

"Do you want something to eat? I'll buy it," Li Qiao said.

"Hehe, I'm really hungry when you say that, a hot dog and a glass of beer," Baggio said.

"it is good",
Li Qiao looked at Li Shan in the back seat, "Dad, do you want something to eat?" But Li Shan was chatting with the French beauty beside him, so he waved his hand.

"Old man, don't go off the rails",
Li Shan gave Li Qiao a white look, "Don't talk nonsense."

Li Qiao laughed and went to the restaurant in the stadium.

*****
Back in the second half, Blanco made a substitution. "Lucas" on the left was replaced by "Cabaye". It really was that trick. This kind of substitution is like changing a battery. The two players have similar abilities. When one is tired, the other is replaced.

Not only that, Blanco also has a more ruthless move. He changed the formation into 4231. Why is this ruthless move?
Because Paris Saint-Germain's two full-backs are very capable of assisting, "Vanderville" on the right and "Maxwell" on the left. In the first half, the 433 formation was crowded on the sides, and the full-backs couldn't come up. Now it has become 4231, and the full-backs can assist as much as they want.

It seems that Blanco must disable Dortmund's wing before he is willing to give up.

Although there is no technical content in this move, it is like Cheng Yaojin's three-axe. Although it looks clumsy, it is very fierce. Many heroes fall under Cheng Yaojin's three-axe.

Klopp also knows that no matter how strong the team's "Schmelzer" and "Pishcheck" are, the opponent's continuous substitutions will not be able to withstand it in the end. Uncle Zha asked "Durm" and "Papa" to warm up and change the two full-backs whenever necessary.

After the start of the game, the two full-backs of Greater Paris began to come up. "Maxwell" and "Vanderville" basically didn't run much in the first half, and they are still at full blood, which is equivalent to Paris Saint-Germain.

On Dortmund's side, Piszczek was able to withstand it, but Schmelzer's side collapsed a bit. Lavitch and Van der Weil broke down this side. Klopp knew that he had to make a substitution.

Lavezzi broke through to the ribs and passed straight to the front. The Dutchman "Van de Wiel" stepped forward to catch up with a few strides and prepared to pass.

When he was still at Ajax, Van der Wiel was one of the right backs with the best assist ability in Europe. He has a characteristic of passing the ball, that is, he basically does not pass the high ball, but passes the ball close to the lawn. Such a ball is fast and easy to make the opponent own.

In addition, there is another characteristic of van der Weil's cross. He especially likes to send the ball to the "small penalty area line".

Faced with Lavezzi's direct pass, Van der Veer caught up with two steps and put his foot on the ground to pass to the small penalty area.

This was beyond the expectations of the "Dortmund" defensive players, because Paris Saint-Germain has a high center forward in the penalty area. Generally, a high ball is a more reasonable choice, but Van der Veer chose to stick his foot to the ground.

At this moment, Cavani had already cut in front of Hummels. The Dortmund captain saw that he had lost his position. In desperation, he shoveled forward, but Hummels' tackle was made under extreme conditions. The direction of the ball was uncontrollable, and finally the ball was shoveled into his own goal.

1 to 0, Paris Saint-Germain took the lead.

*****
The goal was Hummels' own goal, but it was Cavani who celebrated wildly. If it weren't for his coercion, Hummels would not have scored an own goal, so it is reasonable for Cavani to be so excited. At this time, Klopp looked helpless, while Blanco hugged his team excitedly.

Li Qiao in the stands was also expressionless. He knew what the goal meant, that is to force Dortmund to score an away goal, otherwise...the situation would be very bad.

This is another interesting entanglement in the two-round knockout round. If it is 1-0 at home, it is actually equivalent to a 2-goal advantage. Think about it, if you score another goal in the away game, then it is 2-0, and the opponent must score 3 goals to win.

The original intention of UEFA to design this system is to encourage offense and score more away goals, and this system is indeed a great charm of the Champions League.

After conceding the ball, Klopp made a substitution immediately, replacing the exhausted Schmelzer with Durm. In terms of offense, because Klopp no ​​longer has a striker, he can only replace the midfielder "Shinji Kagawa" and replace Aubameyang. Push Mkhitaryan to the left. At least Mkhitaryan's passing skills are much better than Aubameyang.

When Shinji Kagawa was on the field, Klopp asked him to say a harsh word to the frontcourt players-"If you don't get an away goal, you don't have to go back to Dortmund."

Although Klopp looks like a hooligan, he is actually very good to his players. The reason why he speaks harshly is really anxious. He knows that if there is no away goal, the game is basically a loss.

But the two central defenders of Paris Saint-Germain are Brazilian internationals, and they can also be said to be the two best central defenders today. Ramos can't do anything under the double-team of "Silva" and "David Luiz". Now Dortmund needs a sharp knife to pierce the opponent's defense, but the sharpest knife in Klopp's hand is sitting in the stands.

In the end, Dortmund swallowed a 0-1 away game. Royce, Ramos, and Mkhitaryan failed to bring Klopp back an away goal.

Faced with Blanco's passionate celebration, Klopp shook his head helplessly, and then walked into the player tunnel. This was the first time he left the Champions League this season without shaking hands with the opposing coach.
