Back in Madrid, Ivan Serhi gave everyone a day off.
On August 14, when other players living in the dormitory were taking advantage of the holidays to go out to play, Qiao Anchen did not go. Instead, he chose to go to the stadium to practice on his own. However, there was no systematic experience reward for practicing on his own.
But Qiao Anchen doesn't care. On the one hand, he needs to practice more to improve other skills and strength. On the other hand, he can also show it to others, which can be regarded as a cover for his rapid progress in the future.
When he becomes a football superstar in the future as a yellow man, people will find that he lives a self-disciplined life, trains hard, and is able to accept his achievements to the greatest extent and avoid exposing the secrets of the system.
That night, Qiao Anchen learned through the Internet on his mobile phone that after Gao Hongbo finished class, the candidate to take over as the national football coach had been determined, and it was Camacho, the head coach who had coached the Spanish national team and Real Madrid.
For Chinese football, this is considered a world-famous coach.
Camacho's salary is very high, reaching an annual salary of 28 million yuan, which is dozens of times that of Gao Hongbo, but it is doubtful whether his ability is dozens of times that of Gao Hongbo.
However, he has just taken office and has not played a single game, so he cannot make a judgment too early. We can only look at his performance in leading the team later.
On August 15, Atletico Madrid U15 resumed normal training.
After the training, in the evening, Qiao Anchen and other players from all echelons living in the base dormitory watched the live broadcast of the first round of the Spanish Super Cup of the new season in the conference room.
The Spanish Super Cup is different from the Super Cups of other countries. The Super Cups of other countries are basically determined by one game, but the Spanish Super Cup requires two games.
The 2011 Super Cup pitted last season's La Liga champions Barcelona against the Copa del Rey champions Real Madrid.
These two teams will compete in the Spanish El Clasico in the first championship game of the new season.
As Atletico Madrid players, Qiao Anchen and others do not support which team, but because the El Clasico itself is full of superstars and has a high level of technical and tactical skills. Watching such a top-level game is also helpful to improve the players' vision and football intelligence.
Therefore, coach Ivan Serhi specially encourages everyone to watch.
After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the old rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona tied 2-2. Ozil, Alonso, Villa, and Messi each scored a goal. Both sides received 5 yellow cards.
It's intense.
But there was no winner in this game, and the suspense was left to the second round.
On August 16th, training continued. Qiao Anchen's shooting skills, which had been increased to 60, also improved his related skills such as ball sense, ball stopping, passing, etc. His performance in training was better than the previous few days.
Ivan Serhi, who had not originally planned to let Qiao Anchen start, after seeing Qiao Anchen's performance that day, and knowing that Qiao Anchen did not go out to play during the holiday but practiced more on his own, announced the next day's performance in the afternoon.
When it came to the starting lineup for the friendly match, Qiao Anchen's name suddenly appeared in the starting lineup.
Qiao Anchen was pleasantly surprised, and his teammates also turned their attention to him, a little surprised.
Seeing everyone's surprised look, Ivan Serhi said:
"Qiao Anchen deserves his starting spot."
"In addition to the reason why he scored a goal in the last friendly match, helped us equalize the score, and retired from the away game, everyone can also see in today's training that he is one of the best and most serious players on the team."
"And he didn't go out to play during the holiday yesterday. Instead, he chose to practice on his own."
"Although you are free to play or not during the holiday, Qiao Anchen did not indulge himself, but chose to practice more and work hard to improve himself. This is naturally worthy of praise."
"In addition, I also heard that Qiao Anchen did not go to the e-sports room to play games at night, but studied Spanish by himself in the dormitory."
"I also sleep regularly, and I come to the training ground every day full of energy. It's not like some players who turn off the lights in the middle of the night and still play with their mobile phones, or those who live at home, play on the computer or watch TV, and are listless in training the next day."
"So I put him in tomorrow's starting lineup and I hope you can learn from him."
Ivan Serhi's criticism made many players feel uncomfortable and felt that it was Qiao Anchen who had allowed them to be criticized, but there were also a small number of more self-disciplined players who cast admiring glances at Qiao Anchen.
However, whether those admire him or hate him, it doesn't matter to Qiao Anchen.
Anyway, with a system plug-in nearby, he will definitely be promoted to U17 before the end of the season, and he will part ways with these U15 teammates. After that, the gap will become wider and wider. It is not surprising that he will not see each other for the rest of his life.
It doesn't matter to Qiao Anchen how they feel about themselves, as long as they maintain harmony on the surface and can pass the ball to each other and cooperate during the game.
The next day, August 17, at 14:30 in the afternoon, the friendly match between Atletico Madrid U15 youth team and Atletico Roca U15 youth team officially started at Atletico Madrid U15 training ground.
Qiao Anchen got the first start in this game. The teammates on the field were basically a group of stronger teammates, and it was a home game. There were also some parents of local players cheering on the sidelines, so everyone played with great momentum and offensive.
Ruchao basically dominated Roca Atlético U15 in the first half.
Qiao Anchen's shooting skills and related skills have improved to 60%, which is already considered an advantage at the U15 youth team level.
In just the 7th minute of the game, Qiao Anchen received a pass from his teammate on the left, stopped and buckled through the opponent's defender, then cut inside to the outside of the penalty area, cleared the space, and then shot.
The ball successfully hit the goal frame. Although the angle was slightly right and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, it still posed a threat. Coach Serhi nodded and applauded on the sidelines, feeling that Qiao Anchen was indeed shooting now.
The technology has advanced a lot and is not a flash in the pan.
The game continues.
In the 13th minute, Atletico Madrid made a pass from the left. Center forward Fran Purdo jumped up high, grabbed the first point and headed the ball into the opponent's goal.
Atletico Madrid U15 opened the scoring and led Atletico Roca 1-0.
After taking the lead, the game became easier to play.
Atlético Roca, who was lagging behind in the score, pressed forward significantly in an attempt to score a goal. Atletico Madrid gained more openings and opportunities to counterattack in the frontcourt.
After another failed shot, Qiao Anchen finally seized the opportunity in the 27th minute.
This time Atletico Madrid launched an attack from the left, attracting Atletico Roca's defense to the left. Qiao Anchen was in an unguarded gap outside the corner of the penalty area on the right.
Left-back Juan Bruno discovered Qiao Anchen's gap. After getting the ball, he suddenly made a long pass and sent the ball to Qiao Anchen's right wing.
