Although he has been away for a week, the operation of the club is still progressing steadily, and Li Zhao has finally returned to normal training life. Although most of the team members in the club are on vacation at the moment, he also has a lot of things to do.

Things to do.

Some things he got in this adventure need to be sorted out. Among them, the second volume of "Ju Jing". Although Li Zhao has memorized the contents, he still needs time to digest it. Not yet.

I found Taoist Master Zhao Hong again and went through meditation with him.

The blood orchid was sent to Zhao Xueqin for her to conduct medical research. At the same time, she also tried to plant the remaining rhizomes in the medicine garden to see if it could be cultivated.

Among the other items, part of the diary has been translated by Xiao Mi, but some key parts still need time.

As for the newly obtained stone ball, after it was cleaned out, it turned out to be a Cuju with the word "Chang" engraved on it. However, it has been temporarily put on hold because of Wu Wenzhen's departure, and there is no rush for this.

Li Zhao had no intention of taking care of the other items for the time being. He kept them in the warehouse after returning and handed them over to experts for appraisal when he had time.

In addition, based on his new experience, Li Zhao added some brand-new content to the training of himself and his players. This content is different from the training methods of other clubs and is mainly aimed at shooting.

It includes a large number of random shots and instant shots after touching the ball at different locations. It also requires players to complete various difficult shooting actions during sports and calculate the success rate.

In the last few days at the end of December, most of the players who had been on vacation came back one after another, and several C nationality members were also in place. What surprised him especially was Ronaldinho. Unexpectedly, he was quite cooperative this time. As for some of the players who were really drawn

It doesn't matter that the players are not at home, at least the players' normal training and preparations can already be carried out. The team's coach Hiddink still needs to take a vacation for a while before he can come back, but as the assistant coach Su Maozhen has come back, so Li Zhao simply

We communicated with him about this training method and added it to the team's daily training according to the actual situation.

This kind of training is not only for the players of the first team, but also included in the tutorials of the reserve team and the echelon. As a result, the daily training volume of the players has also increased. Although some people complained, the effect is also

It is obvious. As for technical actions such as stopping the ball without rebound, it is no longer the focus of their training. Basically, these C nationality players can basically do it. Such as stopping the ball more than two or three meters or even further.

This kind of mistake can only be made by the young guys who have just arrived, or the domestic players.

Especially in the recent team training, Li Zhao will often choose to play against Ronaldinho, and at the same time he is constantly learning his excellent football skills. Not only Li Zhao, but also some other players are playing with Ronaldinho.

I have benefited a lot from the training. And under the subtle supervision, Ronaldinho is also gradually undergoing some changes. As his combat effectiveness improves, the entire Portuguese team has also made further leaps in the offensive capabilities of the midfield and frontcourt.

In this atmosphere, 2015 has quietly arrived.

On the other hand, in view of the inspiration from the previous signing of Ronaldinho, Li Zhao and the club management decided to re-sign the contract with the players after discussion. This included a benefit regarding the player's service period, which was also to further strengthen the players.

Their loyalty and identification with the club.

First-team players who have played for the Portuguese club for five consecutive years can receive 1% of the club's annual profits every year starting from the sixth year until they leave. Don't underestimate this 1%, the actual benefits are not small.

, and it is not that easy to achieve this condition.

Although the new season will not start until May next year, the new state championship and the Copa Libertadores group stage will start in February. Although the former is not important, the latter is the highlight.

In the middle of January, Gao Hongbo brought the players of Country C’s national team here to play several friendly matches. For the Country C’s national team, Xinye was a rare opportunity for discussion and exchange, which naturally attracted locals.

Many Chinese and overseas Chinese came to watch the battle.

In the first friendly match, the Portuguese still sent out their full lineup, which was a sign of respect for the national team. Because Hiddink still had not returned, Su Maozhen was left to direct the Portuguese in the battle. Although the international players also looked prepared.

, but was completely suppressed on the scene.

In the third minute of the game, Li Zhao used his personal ability to easily score a goal. Just three minutes later, he scored another goal after gaining a gap through the cooperation of the team.

Although he scored twice, Li Zhao only used part of his strength. He also felt that such goals were meaningless. Li Zhao no longer took the initiative to break through and shoot, but instead chose to help his teammates more.

They passed the ball. Then they assisted Wang Ziyi and Zhang Yuning to make contributions one after another, thus expanding the score to 4-0 at the end of the first half.

Li Zhao did not play again after the start of the second half, but the Portuguese still had an overwhelming advantage and scored three consecutive times in the C national team's goal. Wang Ziyi scored again.

In addition, Ronaldinho and Harry also scored goals.

Subsequently, several main players, including Wang Ziyi, were replaced one after another after scoring goals, and even the main goalkeepers like Dana were dismissed. But despite this, the performance of the international players still did not improve at all.

It was as if they had accepted their fate. In the final stage of the game, the national players finally scored a consolation goal, but it is unclear whether the Portuguese was suspected of letting the team go.

In the end, the first-round friendly match between the Portuguese and the national team of Country C ended with a big score of 7-1. The result of this game also made Gao Hongbo truly understand the gap between them. Players like Zhang Yuning would not be able to compete with each other.

When he came to the Portuguese, his level was not much different from that of the national team, and he did not even have the upper hand in the confrontation with the main players, but after this year's experience, the gap has widened.

But for the national team, which needs to be here for a month of training, all this is just the beginning. Next, they have two friendly matches with the Portuguese, and then they will also have to play with several other Brazilian teams.

Have a contest.

However, Li Zhao and several main players did not participate in the next two friendly matches, and the second game could even be said to be a match between the national football team of Country C and the Portuguese reserve team. This is really meaningless, as too many goals were scored.

It’s not interesting, just let it go. I was afraid that the fans wouldn’t buy it, so I simply didn’t enter the list. Even though they faced the Portuguese, which was basically composed of substitutes and reserve teams, the C national team still failed to win in the second game.

Winning the victory seemed to have a slight advantage, but the ability to seize opportunities was far behind. In fact, it was just an even match. In the final stage, Hu Jinghang's free kick scored the winner, and the final score was 2-3.

The score was another loss.

The third game was even less interesting. This time they faced the lower age group led by Zha Xianqiang. They finally regained their confidence. Whether it was physical confrontation or technical tactics, the national players were all

Completely dominant and took a 2-0 lead in the first half.

The young players also have many bright spots. Their active fighting spirit is much better than that of the national football team, and their skills are even better. Although they are lagging behind, they still have no intention of giving up, and the national football team may also feel that they are playing in a lower age group.

The opponent was a little bully, so he was somewhat lax in his thinking. Instead, he got a goal back at the beginning of the second half.

At this time, the faces of the national players were a little confused. If they still lost against an opponent of this level, they would be really embarrassed. They also strengthened their offense again, but with their tenacious fighting spirit and more fierce pressing, they blocked

The opponent's offensive was blocked, but it actually made the international players shrink back.

In the final stage of the game, Zacian bravely broke into the national team's penalty area. The defender responsible for defending that area failed to keep up with him. He had to put him in and also gave the Portuguese youth team a point.

Zaxi Anqiang personally took the penalty and scored the goal, thus setting the final score of the two sides at 2-2. The result of this game that should have been won is certainly due to the psychological factors of the national football team.

, but it also exposed the weakness of their state and willpower from another aspect.

The results of several games made Gao Hongbo very dissatisfied. He really didn't understand where these international players spent their usual energy. Afterwards, they also held discussions with several other teams from Brazil's A and B teams here.

, but the results are obviously not satisfactory.

In the first few friendly games, they still lost miserably and had no wins. It was not until the last three games that he began to recruit several C nationality players from the Portuguese team that things improved, and they finally started to win.

"Oh, this was supposed to be a good training opportunity, but I didn't expect that the gap is still so big. I don't know what to do with the Asian Cup next year? I'm afraid that since some of your team members have C nationality, they won't be able to obtain it.

An ideal result, it would be great if Li Zhao could still represent us at this time." When it was time for the national team to leave, Gao Hongbo took Su Maozhen's hand and said with an embarrassed look on his face before leaving. Of course, he also knew what he wanted to do.

It's a luxury to ask Li Zhao to join. Without the approval of higher-ups, he can't decide anything at all.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. With the current results, it's enough. I also have games that only they can win.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, don’t put too much psychological pressure, have a good New Year, and wish you a new start in the new year.

By the way, I heard that after the new year, Lippi will start to accept the national team affairs, and then you will be able to get ahead." Su Maozhen was helpless, but he could only send his blessings.

Gao Hongbo just gave a helpless smile. The task of leading the national football team to improve is also a long way to go. There have been countless changes in the previous Football Association officials and head coaches, but they have not had good results, and they don't know when the time has come.

How long can it last in my own hands?

Finally, the members of the national team left Sao Paulo under the farewell of Li Zhao and several Portuguese representatives.

The day after he sent away the national football team, another thing that Li Zhao had been worried about for a long time came to fruition, but it was about Min Xiaoyan. The results of her pregnancy test paper came out, but she did not win this time, otherwise it would be difficult.

What happened will affect some of Li Zhao's future plans to some extent.

When she told Li Zhao about this incident, he felt relieved but at the same time felt a little disappointed for some reason. But after this incident, it was impossible for the two of them to get along as simply as before.

However, he also had new thoughts in his heart. At least from this moment on, Min Xiaoyan will definitely become one of the women in his life.

Perhaps because of this, Min Xiaoyan will always avoid Li Zhao intentionally or unintentionally in the next period of time, and will only show up when there is something important. Now she has not figured out how to get along with Li Zhao.
