Chapter 796

When the news came out, Spanish fans were jubilant, and even some Catalan fans were secretly excited. The coaches of other national teams participating in the European Cup suddenly felt dizzy. What they feared came true. They originally thought that they could escape the clutches of Crazy Li in this cup, but who knew that fate was so wonderful that they took a big detour and finally had to face an enemy who would not fail.

…

There are many legends in the football world about why Crazy Li agreed to take charge of the Bullfighting Soldiers.

Some people think that it is because Crazy Li's desire for honor never stops, and some people think that it is the result of the Football Association President Villar asking Florentillo to work behind the scenes...

But in fact, Lao Li did not want to take charge of the national team.

After all, if there is a BUG like himself, as long as he participates, he must win according to the requirements of the FM system. For a sport like football that must be full of competition, a monopoly like himself, if he intervenes in too many games, it is not a good thing for himself or others.

If he deliberately gave in and lost the game, it would be his own destruction, and it might also cause some system tasks to fail with a certain probability. He couldn't bear such a punishment.

But who knew that the damn Bosque was actually in a coma at this time, and the more anxious FM in his mind took the opportunity to issue such a system task, forcing him to accept the invitation of the Spanish Football Association and lead the Bullfighters to fight in the Poland-Ukraine European Cup.

Such a decision has nothing to do with the desire for honor or Florentino's face.

For Lao Li, the most difficult thing now is that he must turn Bosque's Spanish team into his own Spanish team in a short time, and the team's tactical system and personnel configuration must be completely changed.

And Lao Li has less than 10 days to complete these complicated and tedious tasks.

…

The first thing that Lao Li did after taking over the Spanish team was to re-select some players who were not favored by Bosque and were not selected for the 34-man roster. The [Little Prince] Bojan, who played for Inter Milan, Real Madrid full-back Arbeloa, Villarreal winger Cazorla, Barcelona newcomer Thiago and others were all called up and selected for the Spanish team's preliminary roster.

Of course, what made some Spanish fans crazy the most was the news that another person returned to the national team-

[Lord of the Rings] Gonzalez-Raul returned to the [Bullfighting Soldiers].

Raul, who currently plays for Schalke 04, has been away from the national team for almost five years. It seems that it only took a moment for him to go from the former flag bearer to being forgotten. The two successive national team coaches of the Spanish team, Aragones and Bosque, were unwilling to bring him back to the national team. No matter how the fans who loved Raul protested and cursed, Raul never got the opportunity to serve the country since then.

There is no way to serve the country, and the hero sheds tears on his uniform.

Five years later, people thought that Raul, who was expelled by Real Madrid, would never have the opportunity to serve the country again in his life. The legend of the Spanish team about the Lord of the Rings has become a thing of the past... But who knows, fate is so wonderful.

A philosopher said it well: God closes a door and opens a window for you.

Real Madrid ruthlessly expelled Raul, but the Spanish national team opened a window for Raul when it seemed impossible.

When he received the news that he was selected for the Spanish national team, Raul was almost moved to tears.

"As long as I can get a chance to play, I will shed my last drop of blood for the team. I swear, I swear on the last name of Gonzalez!"

Raul's resolute face looked sacred and solemn in front of the flashing spotlights and microphones.

Football media all over the world are rushing to report Raul's return. Compared with the crazy fans who almost unanimously support Crazy Li, there are some people in the media who pretend to be rational and analyze the disadvantages of Raul's return. They believe that Raul has lost the ability and qualifications to serve the country. Instead of letting such an old veteran continue to occupy the precious quota, it is better to recruit more young players to consider the long-term future of the [Bullfighting Soldiers]...

There are so many things.

Lao Li disdains this.

With his current status and prestige, he doesn't need to care about these people who only know how to use lip pencils. As for the future of the Spanish team, it is not something he, a firefighter, should consider. After this European Cup, the future of the Spanish team will return to Bosque's hands, or any other successor.

Like Raul, those lucky newcomers excitedly expressed their support for the new coach of the national team when facing media interviews. Competitions like the European Cup are the performance stage that all professional players dream of. Even those stars who became famous at a young age only have two or three opportunities to participate in such competitions in their lifetime. Missing one means losing it forever. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe the mood of several people as "finding a way out of a desperate situation".

At the same time, some Catalan media criticized the Spanish Football Association's choice, believing that Crazy Li's simultaneous appointment of Real Madrid and the national team would cause Real Madrid to dominate the national team and damage Barcelona's interests. However, Crazy Li's move to promote Barcelona's young player Thiago to the national team severely slapped these conspiracy theorists in the face.

The Spanish national team borrowed Real Madrid's training ground in Madrid and launched the last period of training. Lao Li did not choose the warm-up match as a way, because he needed to quickly use high-intensity and purposeful team training to let the national team players adapt to his tactics and get out of Bosque's set.

Lao Li must ensure that the tacit understanding between himself and the team is strengthened, so as to avoid wasting those precious skill points.

While the team is training, Lao Li is also quickly forming his own coaching team.

The strength of the team left by Bosque is unquestionable, but the ideas of these people are closer to the tactical system of the previous head coach, and there are a few people who seem to have a little hostility towards him because of the previous grievances, which makes it difficult to use them. In the past, Lao Li might have patiently taken the initiative to resolve these small conflicts and united the coaching team with more tactful means...

But now the opening time of the European Cup is getting closer and closer, and the schedule does not leave Lao Li so much time to do these things, so Lao Li simply cuts the Gordian knot and lets those coaches who do not meet his tactical requirements and are not very obedient go away, and then forms a coaching team according to his requirements.

The first person to accept the invitation was David Beckham.

Beckham was full of interest in becoming a professional football coach under Lao Li's "enticement". For someone like him who is full of professionalism, once he decides on something, he will do it 100% seriously. Beckham would not miss such a golden opportunity to follow Crazy Li to participate in the European Cup, so he accepted Lao Li's invitation without hesitation.

The second person to receive Lao Li's invitation was Chinese coach Li Bing.

After following Crazy Li to participate in the last European Cup and the 2010 World Cup, Li Bing has become famous in the world football. Some small teams in the top league have also invited Li Bing to coach, but this handsome Sichuan man finally chose to stay in China.

As the person who has the closest relationship with Crazy Li among Chinese football players, Li Bing feels that he can understand Crazy Li's painstaking efforts, so he is willing to sacrifice his personal future to help Crazy Li complete things that he cannot complete personally for various reasons. Regardless of whether Chinese football has a future, Li Bing is willing to give it a try.

Driven by some forces, Li Bing became the head coach of the Chinese national team nine months ago. His mission and goal is to lead the Chinese national team to compete for a place in the finals of the 2014 World Cup in South Africa.

In the Brazil World Cup qualifiers last year, the new Chinese national team organized by Li Bing performed very well. He made drastic reforms to the national team of the Gao Hongbo era. Many players who were in their prime were kicked out of the national team without reason. Most of the newly recruited players had experience playing overseas, but most of them were in small clubs, and some were even just the reserve teams of small clubs, without much experience in official matches.

Such practices caused an uproar at the time.

Some groups whose interests were damaged even launched a campaign to criticize Li Bing and incite public opinion to carry out the so-called "change coach to save Chinese football".

However, such an angry counterattack does not seem to be very popular.

Crazy Li's simple "I support Li Bing's approach" in distant Italy made almost all domestic fans stand on Li Bing's side. In addition, the anti-corruption storm in the Chinese football world has not yet completely ended. Some corrupt officials who castrated Chinese football have been punished, and the official has also supported Li Bing to a certain extent. Therefore, despite the criticism, Li Bing's position as coach has become more and more stable.

It is worth mentioning that most of the national team players selected by Li Bing came from Crazy Li Football School. This also made some unwilling conspirators openly and secretly criticize Li Bing and Crazy Li for conspiring to only care about their own interests and ignore the interests of the country. They are ambitious money-making people who play with the feelings of fans and sell out the interests of the country.

But later, the national team's performance made these disgusting villains shut up.

I should have updated it around six o'clock. I asked a buddy to explain it, but the car was still delayed on the way.

I am very sorry. I apologize with my five limbs on the ground.

I will go back home today.
