Chapter 555 Preliminary list of 32 members of the Blue and White Legion
Argentina, Buenos Aires.
The southern hemisphere has gradually entered the cold winter, but today's weather is still clear.
In the beautiful southern suburbs of Buenos Aires, a clean and beautiful football training base has been newly built. There are eight new lawn training grounds the size of real football fields, four six-storey small buildings filled with the obvious atmosphere of Chinese-style pavilion buildings, barbed wire fences that smell faintly of paint, and the cheerful laughter of the young players on the training ground...
All these beautiful things make the training base full of youthful vitality!
Li Tongfan, who had disappeared for a few days, was right here, blocked by the swarming reporters!
When Lao Li came to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the "Madman Lee Football School" training base that had just been built in Buenos Aires today, he was blocked by reporters who rushed to hear the news!
The news leaked out too fast. Less than 10 minutes after the whole ceremony started, there was a sudden noise of cars and horses roaring outside the school. Then, forty or fifty reporters came out of nowhere, like a mad bull, holding microphones and cameras in their hands, with white hot steam rising from their noses, and rushed over from the school gate with crazy shouts...
Moreover, looking at this crazy posture, there are more and more reporters gathered around!
Fortunately, the brothers under Lao Li responded quickly. The school staff, on-site security guards, and Lao Li's personal bodyguards... a group of burly men surrounded Lao Li three layers inside and outside three layers like protecting the national treasure giant panda. The reporters rushed to a place four or five meters away from Lao Li, unable to move forward...
"Crazy Mr. Li..."
"Li, may I ask..."
"Crazy Lee..."
The noise in the imagery, one after another, the questions hit the head and covered the face...
Unsurprisingly, Li Tongfan once again became the center of gravity of the vortex. Even the old godfather of South American football, Grondona, who held great power, was treated as a transparent fart by the reporters, and was left aside indifferently...
Li Tongfan could only choose to raise his hand coquettishly!
The noisy voice gradually died down.
Lao Li smiled, stood among the bodyguards, pointed to the No. 1 football school building not far away, and said helplessly: "I will hold a special press conference there in half an hour to answer all your questions, but for now, please keep the necessary silence and don't hinder my work today, thank you!"
Reporters who are familiar with Crazy Li know that this guy is a stubborn donkey, and he will go backwards if he does not go. Only if you follow his will can you dig out some useful information from his mouth. Otherwise, if you make Crazy Li angry, you will be banned endlessly!
So, they can only wait!
However, the reporters soon discovered that the opening of the Madman Li Football School was good news, and their attention was quickly attracted by the elementary school students from all over the world on the training ground...
This is the first Madman Lee Soccer School in Lee Tung Bum's plan.
The annual salary of 800 million U.S. dollars that Lao Li earned from coaching the Argentine national team for one year was all invested in the school's software and hardware construction at one time, so that the modernization of the school's various facilities even far surpassed the youth training camps of traditional Argentine giants such as Boca Juniors and River Plate!
The school adopts a European-style management system, and even some of the school’s coaches and staff are directly hired from Europe with high salaries. These personnel, Lao Li, have passed the FM2010 system investigation, whether it is personal ability or professional attitude, they are all very good!
Madman Li No. 300 Football School can accommodate up to 15 teenagers under the age of [-] 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 school started today. The first 300 students have all arrived to start training. Most of them are South American teenagers, most of them are from Argentina. There are also some little guys from Brazil, Chile and other countries. Most of them are abducted by Lao Li after searching through FM scouting tools and sending out a large number of weirdos!
Of course, among the crowd, there were also those 50 football teenagers who came to China!
Each of them is a super-talented football seedling that Li Tongfan spent more than 2000 million yuan to invite a professional team to select from the 960 million square kilometers of China. This is also the real purpose of Li Tongfan to establish the first football school in Buenos Aires!
Today is the first day of football school.
Lao Li did not make the situation too grand. After a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony with the President of the AFA, Grondona, after a brief introduction, the students began their first formal training under the leadership of the coach!
Lao Li saved the pretense of speeches and reprimands!
……
On the training ground.
The young players wearing the sportswear sponsored by Li Ning are warming up before the ball training. Among them, 50 Chinese young players with yellow skin and black eyes are full of energy and perform very hard, which is very eye-catching!
They are the lucky ones who have been selected in China for half a year and have been selected by the media as "the most expensive student selection event in history" - [Storm] event!
Some of them, half a year ago, might have been just a dropout boy who rarely even went out of the mountain village, a small worker pushing a mud truck to move red bricks on a cement forest construction site, an apprentice washing dishes and picking vegetables in a third-rate restaurant, or even a cowherd boy...
Of course, there are also well-educated and well-trained professional players from wealthy families.
However, no matter what kind of experience they have before, no matter where they come from, no matter whether they have received systematic training or not...they all have one common hobby, that is football!
Having time to play football is a kind of joy from the soul!
Before that, they never thought that football could change their destiny one day. When the person who is worshiped by countless Chinese fans as a god made a decision, when those white-skinned and blue-eyed big-nosed gates conducted some inexplicable tests, they unexpectedly stood out from thousands of people, traveled across the ocean to Argentina, and embarked on an incredible journey of dreams!
At this moment, while they were training, they glanced at the man not far away surrounded by reporters and security guards like stars holding the moon, and their eyes were full of fanatical admiration! !
"That person is Crazy Li!! He is the one who changed our destiny and helped us realize our dreams!! Therefore, we must redouble our efforts in training and perform better than these foreigners! Only in this way will we not embarrass him!"
The little ones swear to themselves on their first day of school.
……
Madman Li No. [-] football training school is indeed a piece of news worth broadcasting.
However, more reporters still focused their attention firmly on his unexpected transfer of shares in the Newcastle club and the upcoming World Cup tour in Argentina and South Africa!
After cutting the ribbon for the opening of the school, Lao Li went to the training field to watch the training of the young players, and then returned to the school's No. [-] building to hold a press conference!
By this time, more than 100 reporters had arrived after hearing the news.
Regarding the reason for the transfer of shares in Newcastle, this is the first time that Madman Li has personally explained the reason, and it is also quite simple——
"...English football has always emphasized their own pride and blood. I respect this very much. Moreover, at the beginning of the acquisition of the club, I promised all Newcastle fans that as long as I help the team through the difficulties, I will hand it over to an Englishman who really loves Newcastle and has the ability to contribute to the continued glory of Newcastle. Now it seems that Mr. John Henry is just such a gentleman! To be honest, I love Newcastle and Newcastle fans, otherwise, the Arabs would be willing Why should I transfer it to Henry for 4 million pounds when I paid 3 million pounds to acquire the shares?"
Of course Li Tongfan was talking nonsense.
Because the real reason does not lie in this, but in the FM2010 system.
However, he didn't feel guilty for telling this lie, because there were indeed rich Arabs who were willing to pay 4 million pounds to buy the shares in Lao Li's hands, but Lao Li refused...
He was unwilling to entangle more on this issue that has become a thing of the past. Soon, he gave the reporters a big surprise——
Taking advantage of this press conference, Li Tongfan directly announced the initial 2010-man squad for the 32 South African World Cup against Argentina.
For the reporters present, this was indeed a windfall.
With this surprise, they were smart enough not to dwell on the Newcastle affair.
……
……
Three hours later, the 3-man roster of the Blue and White Army in 2010 immediately appeared on the pages of many news media in Argentina or around the world——
Goalkeeper position -
Romero (Alkmaar), Ustari (Getafe) and Franco (Galatasaray), Ann Hadur (Catania)
Defensive position -
Javier Zanetti (Inter Milan), Nicolas Burdisso (Roma), Insua (Liverpool), Gonzalo Rodriguez (Villarreal), Nicolas Otamendi (Sarsfield), Samuel (Inter Milan), Demichelis (Bayern Munich) Barletta (Manchester City).
Back waist position——
Cambiasso (Inter Milan), Fernando Gago (Newcastle), Javier Mascherano (Liverpool), Franco Zuculini (Hoffenheim).
In midfield --
Riquelme (Boca Juniors), Pastore (Newcastle), Angel Di Maria (Benfica), Leo Messi (Barcelona), Maxi Rodriguez (Atletico Madrid), Aimar (Benfica), Juan Veron (Universidad de La Plata), Fernando Brocchi (Porto), Diego Perotti (Sevilla).
On the forward side——
Gonzalo Higuain (Real Madrid), Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid), Carlos Tevez (Manchester City), Diego Milito (Inter Milan), Hernan Crespo (Manchester United), Martin Palermo (Boca Juniors), Rodrigo Palacio (Genoa), Alessandro Lopez (Lyon)!
……
As soon as the big list came out, there was naturally a lot of discussion in the Argentine domestic media.
This initial roster of 32 players is obviously based on players who have played in European leagues. Even some players selected for the roster who have played for domestic clubs in Argentina, except for a few young people in Otamendi, such as Veron and Riquelme, almost all have played for European clubs!
Everything shows that Crazy Li has already adhered to the player selection standards in the qualifiers!
Through the results of the qualifiers, the Argentine domestic media and fans have long recognized Madman Li's coaching methods. In their view, selecting a large number of European players is not conducive to the development of domestic players. However, considering that these players have considerable game experience, such a choice is actually the most sensible!
In the list of 32 people, many new faces have been added——
Although the old goalkeeper Ann Dujar who played for Catania is not a newcomer to the national team, he was selected for the first time in the Blue and Whites of Madman Lee. Players similar to him also played for Genoa.
In addition, the veteran Veron was summoned by Madman Lee again after losing in the qualifiers, which surprised many media!
People originally thought that the lunatic Li, who likes to use young players and tends to be too convincing, has already decided to give up the 35-year-old veteran permanently. Who knows, [Midfield Wizard] unexpectedly got a second chance to enter the palace!
Among all the selected players, the freshest face is the 21-year-old Diego Perotti who plays for Sevilla.You must know that before this, Perotti, who has worked hard in Spain for four seasons, has not represented Argentina at all levels. This season, he has performed well in La Liga on behalf of Savilla, and finally waited for the call of Madman Lee!
The media is still discussing, and the 32 lucky people selected for the big list, after receiving a call from the Argentine coaching staff, immediately rushed to Buenos Aires to start warming up before the World Cup!
Everyone understood that in order to really get a ticket to South Africa, they had to impress Madman Lee in the previous warm-up match!
The young man who holds their destiny in their hands! ——
