Compared with setting off directly from the club, the distance between Li Zhao and the others to Calder Stadium is much farther from their current location. Those who hurry up and slow down are still a step late.

By the time they arrived at the scene, the first half of the game was over, and the second half was already in the 65th minute. At this time, the score on the field was 1-2, and the Portuguese team, playing at home, was one goal behind.

Since Li Zhao was not waiting, the Portuguese team still used the original starting personnel and tactics, with a formation of 442.

The starting personnel of the Corinthians team are goalkeeper: Casio Ramos, defenders: Fabio Santos, Paulo Andre, Gil, midfielder: Danilo, Douglas dos Santos

, Augusto, Ralph Telles, forward: Pato, Marcio Emerson, Rommarinho, the formation is 343.

The first game of the Portuguese team officially started at 5 pm on January 19 (3 ​​am on January 20, Beijing time), but it was the Corinthians team from the same city who scored the first goal. In the 34th minute, the Portuguese team

There was a loophole in the team's defense, and Rommarinho of Corinthians successfully broke into the penalty area and easily scored against the goalkeeper.

But the Portuguese team seemed to be blinded by this goal, and their lack of concentration on defense allowed them to concede the goal again six minutes later. In the 40th minute, Corinthians got a goal in the Portuguese team's frontcourt.

Free kick opportunity. The opponent's kicker hit the ball against the wall and bounced back. Then the midfielder Guillerme, who they had just replaced, followed up with a kick that penetrated the goalkeeper Lauro's handle.

The opponent took the lead at home, making the Portuguese team even more passive. Fortunately, in the 45th minute before the end of the first half, they also got a well-positioned free kick from Henrik Santos.

A goal was scored to prevent the team from being too passive in the second half.

After Li Zhao arrived, he quickly changed clothes, then warmed up, and replaced Jean Motta at the 70th minute.

However, Li Zhao's familiarity with these players is still not enough, so there are many mistakes in cooperation between them. During more than ten minutes on the field, he was in a suitable position, although he was still able to get certain passes from his teammates.

However, when the opportunity arises, his teammates rarely get into position when passing the ball. Even the few wonderful passes are wasted due to the forward's poor shooting skills.

Even when he couldn't rely on his teammates, Li Zhao also tried to seek opportunities by breaking through and stealing in the frontcourt. In the 82nd and 86th minutes, Li Zhao had two good breakthrough shots, but maybe his luck was not there today.

On his side, the two shots were missed by a hair, and there was really little time left for him. In the end, Li Zhao was unable to change the outcome of the game, and the Portuguese also lost 1-2 at home.

Corinthians.

Although the defeat in the first game is a pity, it is also reasonable. After all, in terms of the overall strength of the team, the Portuguese are still obviously weaker than their opponents. To be fair, the Portuguese's overall strength is only barely in the middle of the entire championship.

Li Zhao found it difficult to win the final championship with such a group of people. He didn't know if he could lead them, so he couldn't help but feel that he had agreed too rashly.

Fortunately, to achieve this goal, you do not need to be at the top of the standings. As long as the final score can reach the top eight, you can participate in the subsequent knockout rounds. If you cannot win in the knockout round, no matter how high the previous points are, it does not matter. Meaning, this kind of rule is somewhat similar to NBA rules. So for him, this goal can still be achieved, and he can also use this time to slowly let himself get used to and integrate into the team.

In the next round, they will go away to challenge Ituano on January 22. Although it is an away game, it is still in the city of Sao Paulo. Speaking of which, among the 20 teams in this year's championship, there are Portuguese players. All six clubs are located in the city of Sao Paulo, which made Li Zhao sigh with emotion.

At night, inside the space.

"Master, good news, good news, the "Yang" Cuju has a new reaction. I looked around and found that there should be a new magnetic key around, and it should be in this city of Sao Paulo." Xiaomi saw it. When he arrived, he made a new discovery of his own.

"Oh, really." Although Li Zhao responded, his interest was not high, and Xiao Mi also felt this.

"What's wrong, Master, you don't look good at all. This is not the state you should be in. Tell me if you feel like it is something that's bothering you. I'll check it out for you and then help you get back to your normal state. That's how you look full of energy." Xiao Mi said.

"You should know what I've been up to recently. I'm surprised you're not worried about me at all!" Li Zhaodao.

"Master, you didn't ask me about this! And if this is the case, I don't think you need to worry. That Sanders has a scary tone, but that's all he can do. I've already done the math for you. Okay, this time you guys had a bad start when you came here, but later on you were able to turn bad luck into good luck, but the time has not come yet. As for the team's affairs, you don't have to worry, some things have haste, but waste haste. , you still need to take your time." Xiao Mi said.

"Xiao Mi, you have been acting a little strange recently. Why do you feel that you are a little mysterious? I almost thought you were possessed by an old Taoist priest." Li Zhao said in confusion.

"That's because as I upgraded, my intelligence also evolved. Master, you don't want me to always act like a child," Xiao Mi said.

"Oh, but that's not cute anymore. I still like you the way you are." Li Zhao said a little sourly.

"Oh, the master turns out to be a lolicon!" Xiao Mi showed a surprised expression.

"I just want to treat you as my sister, don't get it wrong!" Li Zhao said.

"So Master, do you want Zidane or Makelele to practice today?" Xiaomi asked.

"Both, I want to try to use Zidane's skills to beat Makelele. It will be very interesting. By the way, after this, I also want to try if I can practice in space." Li Zhaodao.

"This should be no problem. This is a good way to use the remaining time." Xiao Mi said.

Li Zhao had never thought about practicing kung fu in space before, but since he was inspired by his grandfather last time, he began to pay attention to the practice of kung fu. After that, he also tried this method, but found that it was a bit different. There is no problem, and the effect is quite good. In this way, he no longer has to worry about not having time to practice kung fu. He can practice it every day without any impact. Even if he takes a long-distance flight, he has a way to solve it.

The day after the game, Li Zhao and Dolsa went to the school to attend their opening ceremony. Fortunately, this time Sanders did not jump out and cause trouble again. But when they left the school, they still closed the door.

When a letter arrived, it was also a letter of challenge.

This letter came from a well-known Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym in the area, asking them to go there before two o'clock tomorrow afternoon for an appointment. If they don't show up late, they will be responsible for the consequences.

But Li Zhao can't take care of this for the time being. They have to go to the airport to pick up the plane again this afternoon. Because Figo is back again, and this time grandpa and Li Ruolan also came with him in advance. As for whether to go to the appointment tomorrow, that's

That's what happens later.

The pick-up is still at Sao Paulo International Airport. Although there are two other airports in Sao Paulo: Congonhas Airport and Campinas International Airport, most international flights currently choose to land at Sao Paulo International Airport.

"Cousin, you came a day late. The first round of yesterday's championship was over." Li Zhao obviously still complained about Figo's lateness.

"I just took over a business event at odd hours. You kid, stop yelling. Don't think that your time is important. It's just that we lost the game yesterday. Even if I came two days earlier, it might not be able to solve it.

The question is. You have just lost one game. There are still fourteen games left. Your goal is not to go to the top of the standings. In other words, the previous ones should be regarded as training. As long as the team is guaranteed to be in the top eight,

Just adjust the condition to the best." Figo said.

"Xiao Zhao, you are still too impatient. This is not anyone's problem. Many problems of a newly taken over team like this have not been solved. This requires time and process. Losing is actually normal, but winning

The ball was the accident." Li Ruolan consoled her.

"It's not like I don't know this, but I don't know why, but I always feel a little agitated when I really lose," Li Zhao said.

"Yes, Xiaozhao. You are usually very calm when practicing, but why are you so uncalm on the football field? Although I don't know much about football, losing or losing is a normal thing in life. Whether it is success or not

Whether you fail or not, you have to get used to facing it. You are very excited when you can't win, and you can't accept it when you lose. This is also a kind of practice!" Taoist priest Zhao Hong also said.

"So, I still have to get used to failure!" Li Zhao said.

"To a certain extent, this is true. But that doesn't mean you should completely ignore it. It means that you should learn from experience and lessons and not let it influence your emotions and judgments. Most of the time, what the world sees is only the appearance of successful people.

Although he is brilliant, he often ignores how many setbacks and failures he has gone through to achieve these achievements. I can understand your mentality. The main reason is that you were too smooth at the beginning, even in those two international competitions.

Luck is still on your side. There are advantages and disadvantages to this situation. If you go well, you can block the killing god with overwhelming force, but once you lose, it will have a great impact." Figo concluded.
