Chapter 564 The preliminary list of 32 people of the Blue and White Legion
Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The southern hemisphere is gradually entering a cold winter, but today's weather is still clear.
In the beautiful southern suburbs of Buenos Aires, a new clean and beautiful football training base has been built, eight brand-new lawn training ground the size of a real football field, four six-story buildings filled with the atmosphere of Chinese pavilions, barbed wire with a faint smell of paint, and the small balls on the training ground. The cheerful laughter of the members... This wonderful thing makes the training base full of youthful vitality!
Li Tongfan, who disappeared for a few days, was blocked here by the swarm of reporters!
When Lao Li came to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the 'Madman Li Football School' training base just built in Buenos Aires today, he was blocked by the reporters who heard the news!
The news leaked too quickly. Less than ten minutes after the beginning of the whole ceremony, there was a lot of cars and horses outside the school. Then, I don't know where 40 or 50 reporters came out, like crazy bulls, holding the microphone and camera in their hands, with a soaring white heat in their noses, crazy The shouts rushed over from the gate of the school... Moreover, looking at this crazy posture, there are more and more trends among the gathered reporters!
Fortunately, Lao Li's brothers also reacted quickly. The school staff, on-site security guards and Lao Li's private bodyguards... A group of big men were like protecting the national treasure giant pandas. They surrounded Lao Li on the inside and outside. The reporters rushed to four or five meters away from Lao Li, and they could no longer do it. Take a step forward... "Mr. Li, a madman..."
"Li, may I ask..."
"Madman Li..."
The noise in the image was smashed one after another... Li Tongfan once again unexpectedly became the center of gravity of the whirlpool. Even Grondona, the old godfather of South American football, who holds heavy power, was regarded as a transparent fart by the reporters and hung aside carelessly. ...Li Tongfan can only choose to raise his hand with the wind!
The noisy sound gradually stopped.
Lao Li smiled, stood among the bodyguards, pointed to Building 1 of the football school not far away, and said helplessly, "In half an hour, I will hold a special press conference there to answer all your questions, but now, please keep the necessary quiet and don't hinder my work today. Thank you!"
Reporters who are familiar with the madman Li know that this master is a stubborn donkey. He does not walk and fight backwards. Only when you follow his will can you dig out a little useful information from his mouth. Otherwise, make the madman Li turn around and wait to be blocked endlessly!
So, they can only wait!
However, reporters soon found that the opening of the madman Li Football School was also a good news. Their attention was soon attracted by primary school students from all over the world on the training ground... This is the first crazy Li Football School in Li Tongfan's plan.
Lao Li's annual salary of 8 million US dollars in a year of coaching the Argentine national team was all invested in the construction of the school's software and hardware, so that the modernization of the school's facilities even far exceeded the youth training camp of traditional Argentine rich families such as Boca Youth and River Plate Team!
The school adopts a European-style management system, and even some of the school's coaches and staff are hired directly from Europe with high salaries. Lao Li has been checked through the FM2010 system, whether it is personal ability or professional attitude. They all belong to a very excellent level!
Crazy Li No.1 Football School can accommodate up to 300 teenagers under the age of 15 to train here. Moreover, because the school has a cooperative relationship with the local middle school, players can also receive cultural education there after training!
The first day of the college starts today. All 300 students in the first phase have arrived to start training. Most of them are South American teenagers, most of them are from Argentina, and there are also some little guys from Brazil, Chile and other countries. Most of them are Lao Li who sent a large number of strange s after searching through FM scouting tools. Abducted!
Of course, in the crowd, there are also the 50 football teenagers who came to China!
Each of them is a super talented football seedling selected from 9.6 million square kilometers of China for Li Tongfan, who spent more than 20 million yuan to invite a professional team for half a year. It is also the truth of Li Tongfan to establish the first football school in Buenos Aires. The right purpose!
Today is the first day of football school.
Lao Li did not make the situation very serious. After a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony with Glondona, the chairman of the Football Association, the students began their first formal training under the leadership of the coach!
Lao Li has been saved from the pretentious part of speech and reprimand!
... on the training ground.
The young players in sportswear sponsored by Li Ning are warming up before the ball training. Among them, 50 young Chinese players with yellow skin and black eyes are full of energy and work very hard, which is very eye-catching!
They are the lucky ones selected by the [Storm] activity, which has been in China for half a year and are called the "the most expensive student selection activity in history" by the media!
Some of these people, perhaps half a year ago, were just a school-out teenager who rarely went out of the mountain village. They were small workers who pushed mud carts and moved red bricks on cement forest construction sites. They were apprentices for washing dishes and picking vegetables in third-rate restaurants, and even cattle herders... Of course, there are also rich families who have been well educated and trained. Professional young players.
However, no matter what experience they have had before, no matter where they come from, whether they have received systematic training or not... they all have a common hobby, that is, football!
If you have time to kick the ball, it is a kind of happiness from the soul!
Before that, they never thought that football could one day change their fate. When the person who was worshipped by countless Chinese fans as gods made a decision, and when those big noses with white skin and blue eyes conducted some inexplicable tests, they actually went from Tens of millions of people stood out, crossed the ocean to Argentina, and began an incredible dream journey!
At this moment, while training, they looked at the man not far away from time to time surrounded by reporters and security guards like stars holding the moon. In their eyes, they were all fanatical worship!!
"That person is crazy Li!! It is he who changed our destiny and helped us realize our dreams!! Therefore, we must redouble our efforts to train and perform better than these foreigners! Only in this way will he not be humiliated!"
The little guys swore secretly on the first day of school.
... Crazy Li First Football Training School is indeed a news worth broadcasting.
However, more reporters still focus on his unexpected transfer of Newcastle Club shares and the upcoming World Cup trip to Argentina and South Africa!
After cutting the ribbon at the opening of the school, Lao Li went to the side of the training ground to watch the training of the young players, and then returned to the No. 1 building of the school to hold a press conference!
By this time, more than 100 reporters had arrived.
Regarding the reason for the transfer of Newcastle's shares, this is the first time that the madman Li has personally explained it himself, and it is quite simple - "... English football has been emphasizing their own pride and blood, which I respect very much, and I have been to all Newcastle at the beginning of the acquisition of the club. The fans have promised that as long as they help the team overcome the difficulties, they will hand it over to an Englishman who truly loves Newcastle and has the ability to contribute to Newcastle's continued glory. Now it seems that Mr. John Henry is such a gentleman! To be honest, I love Newcastle and Newcastle fans. Otherwise, the Arabs are willing to pay 400 million pounds to buy shares. Why should I transfer them to Henry for 300 million pounds?
Of course, Li Tongfan is talking nonsense.
Because the real reason is not this, but the FM2010 system.
However, his lie would not make him feel guilty at all, because there were indeed Arab millionaires willing to pay 400 million pounds to buy shares in Lao Li's hand, but Lao Li refused... He did not want to entangle more on this issue that had become a thing of the past. Soon, he gave reporters a big surprise. Hi - Taking advantage of this press conference, Li Tongfan directly announced the initial 32-man list of the 2010 South African World Team against Argentina.
For the reporters present, this was indeed an unexpected gain.
With this surprise, they are smart and no longer entangled in Newcastle.
............3 hours later, the Blues and White Legions appeared on the 32-man list in 2010 and immediately appeared on many news media pages in Argentina or around the world - the goalkeeper position - Romero (Alcmar), Ustari (Hetafi) and Franco (Galatasaray), Ann Ha Dur (Catania) rear defense position - Javier Sanetti (Inter Milan), Nicolas Burdiso (Rome), Insua (Liverpool), Gonzaro Rodríguez (Biliarreal), Nicholas Otamendi (Saasfield), Samuel (Inter Milan), Demi Kellis (Bayern Munich) Baleta (Manchester City).
Back position - Cambiaso (Inter Milan), Fernando Gago (Newcastle), Javier Mascherano (Liverpool), Franco Zuculini (Hoffenheim).
In the midfield - Riquelme (Boca Juniors), Pastore (Newcastle), Di Maria (Benfica), Rio Messi (Barcelona), Maxi Rodriguez (Atico Madrid), Aimar (Benfica), Juan Berón (La Plata University Student Team) Fernando Bu Rocky (Porto), Diego Perotti (Seville).
Forward - Gonzalo Higuain (Real Madrid) Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid), Carlos Teviz (Manchester City), Diego Milito (Inter Milan), Hernan Crespo (Manchester United), Martin- Palermo (Boka Youth) Rodrigo Palacio (Genaia), Alexandro Lopez (Lyon)!
... As soon as the list came out, the Argentine domestic media were naturally talking about it.
The preliminary list of 32 players in this issue is obviously based on the players who play in the European League. Even some players who have been selected to the list to play in domestic clubs in Argentina, except for a few young people in Otamendi, such as Belon and Riquelme, have almost all played for European clubs. The calendar!
Everything shows that Crazy Li has adhered to the selection criteria for players in the qualifying stage!
Through the record of the qualifiers, Argentina's domestic media and fans have long recognized the way of coaching madman Li. In their opinion, the selection of a large number of European players is not conducive to the development of domestic players, but considering that these players have considerable experience in the game, this choice is actually the most Wise!
In the 32-man list, many new faces have been added - although the old goalkeeper An Duhar, who plays for Catania, is no longer a newcomer to the national team, he is the first time to be selected into the madman Lee's Blue and White Legion, players similar to him, as well as Palacio, a fast-fast braided striker who plays for Genoa. The Porto winger Broki, who has only been selected into the Blue and White Legion twice before!
In addition, veteran Bellon was called back by the madman Li after the defeat in the qualifiers, which made many media fall through their glasses!
People thought that Li, a madman who liked to use young players and had a tendency to be too controlled, had already decided to give up the 35-year-old veteran permanently. Who knew that [the midfield wizard] unexpectedly got the opportunity to enter the palace for the palace!
The freshest face of all the selected players is Diego Perotti, a 21-year-old player who plays for Sevilla. You should know that before that, Perotti, who has been playing in Spain for four seasons, has never played for the Argentine national team at all levels. This season, he performed well in La Liga on behalf of Saviria and finally waited for the call of the madman Li!
The media are still talking, and the 32 lucky people on the list, after receiving a phone call from the Argentine coaching staff, immediately rushed to Buenos Aires to start a warm-up before the World Cup!
Everyone understands that if they want to really get tickets to South Africa, they must impress the madman Li in the previous warm-up match!
The young man who controls their fate!
