Chapter 8 Where is your header?
Despite the language barrier, Li Qingshan greeted everyone warmly in English, which was a good start to his Atletico Madrid career.
By the time they walked out of the locker room and towards the training ground, Li Qingshan was already chatting and laughing with the Atletico Madrid players.
Today, there are obviously more media and fans waiting outside the Atletico Madrid training ground than before.
Most of these extra media come from China, and many domestic media are based in Madrid.Li Qingshan is different from other players who have been transferred to the five major leagues before. He is a player who can obviously get a certain chance to play, rather than being introduced as a young player.
Domestic fans like to see Chinese players playing in the five major leagues, and like to know about their training and living conditions in foreign clubs.When Zheng Zhi and Sun Jihai were in England, the Chinese media at that time reported their local news in England every week.What's more, it is now when the transportation and network are more developed.
As for the fans, most of them are Chinese fans living and working in Madrid.They held signs supporting Li Qingshan on the sidelines of the training ground.
"Well, Li, it seems that you are quite popular in your country!" Diego Costa whistled.In the dressing room of Atlético Madrid, he is the Spanish player who speaks the best English.
"Of course, do you know how many football fans there are in our country?" Li Qingshan was proud to see his compatriots giving him face.
"How much?" Diego Costa asked.
Li Qingshan gave out a finger and said: "At least more than [-] million!"
This number really shocked Diego Costa. He slammed his mouth and said, "Then are they all your fans?"
Li Qingshan rubbed his nose and said in embarrassment: "That's not true, you know, I played in Guangzhou Evergrande before. Just like here in Spain, Guangzhou Evergrande also has hostile clubs in China, fans of the hostile clubs Most of them may not be my fans..."
Diego Costa nodded knowingly.He turned his head and looked at the dozens of Chinese fans outside. As Atletico Madrid's top scorer, there were not as many fans who came to express support for him during training than this young man who just joined the team.
This is probably the reason why Atletico Madrid's platform is not big enough. If I transfer to a bigger club...
he thought so.
In fact, he already had the idea of leaving.In the entire La Liga, of course, the two super giants Real Madrid and Barcelona have received the most attention.They are the most fans and the strongest team in the world.But if it is other teams in La Liga, it will not receive so much attention.
Take La Liga's overseas broadcast revenue as an example.The sale of La Liga broadcasting rights was purchased by the telecommunications group Telefonica at a price of 6 million euros this year. Although this price is much lower than that of the Premier League and the Bundesliga, it is definitely not too low.However, the distribution of La Liga's TV broadcast income can be described in one sentence-the rich wine and meat stink, and the road is frozen to death.
Taking the 2012-2013 season as an example, the combined income of the two teams of Real Madrid and Barcelona accounted for half of La Liga's broadcast income, twelve times that of Malaga, Sporting Gijon, and Tenerife!
In the Premier League, even the last team with the lowest income can earn at least 500 million euros, which is more than 3 million euros more than the No.3000 Valencia in La Liga.
Such a disparity in income has naturally made the survival of the middle and lower reaches of La Liga difficult.Logically speaking, from the perspective of competitive strength, La Liga is not weaker than the Premier League at all, or even stronger.The reason for this gap is the unreasonable operation of the Spanish First Division.
Among the five major leagues, the most unhealthy operation is La Liga. In this league, small and medium-sized clubs have reached the point where they cannot survive. Many teams in La Liga have gone bankrupt long ago, and most teams in La Liga do not make money or even lose money. This is a terrible thing.It's no wonder that the Spanish government and the La Liga professional league are planning to reform broadcast sales.
It's just that as a vested interest in La Liga, the Spanish Football Association does not support La Liga's reform plan, and the wrangling between the two sides is estimated to continue for a long time.This seems to be a bit like a football association in a certain country...
Of course, Diego Costa certainly doesn't understand these reasons. He just knows that even at Atletico Madrid, which is in the third pole of La Liga, the media exposure, the number of fans, and the salary level are far inferior to the top five in the Premier League. Barcelona Real Madrid, otherwise, Costa is unwilling to be content with this status quo.
Therefore, he has already discussed with his agent Mendes that after this season, he will transfer and leave.
He's a guy who enjoys the spotlight and being in the media.
Li Qingshan didn't pay attention to Diego Costa's mental activities.He went to the sidelines to say hello to the fans who came to cheer him on, and then walked into the training ground.
Soon, Li Qingshan realized Simeone's training style.
Many successful teams say: "We play like we train!"
But Simeone's principle is: "We want to train like we want to play a game!"
Simeone's training requirements are very simple and absolute: fight and contact like a game!
Atletico Madrid under Simeone is an iron-blooded army with strict tactical discipline and advocating physical contact.This fits well with Simeone's own temperament.When Simeone played football back then, he was a tough midfielder who was never afraid of confrontation and sometimes even appeared rough.
Also, his team puts a lot of emphasis on defense.Under his request, even the center has to undertake the task of defense.Oppressive defense and steals are the cornerstone of the team's tactics.
This kind of training intensity and requirements are quite different from Li Qingshan's previous experience.
But Li Qingshan is no longer the amateur player he was a year ago, at least he has met the requirements of a professional player in most technical indicators.Moreover, his body is stronger and stronger than a year ago.
Therefore, the physical confrontation intensity required by Simeone is actually very easy for him.
When other Atlético Madrid players faced off against Li Qingshan in training, they could only be bitterly complained.
This Chinese really deserves his reputation.
When it came time for the group training match, Li Qingshan was assigned to the substitute team.This is also very normal. With Diego Costa and Villa as two stable scorers, Simeone will not easily break this striker combination.
Atletico Madrid's central defender combination is Godin and Miranda. Their heights are very close. Godin is 180 three centimeters tall and Mirada is 180 four centimeters tall.Compared with Li Qingshan who is 190cm tall, he is half a head shorter.In addition, they have already heard that Li Qingshan is a scorer who mainly relies on headers, so they guarded against Li Qingshan's headers from the beginning.
Unexpectedly, Li Qingshan frequently pulled outside the penalty area to catch the ball from the very beginning of training, which made the two of them very strange.
They didn't understand what Li Qingshan wanted to do until Li Qingshan fell outside the penalty area and received the ball without making any adjustments and directly volleyed into the dead corner.
When Li Qingshan's second kick hit the dead corner of the goal at a distance of 27 meters outside the penalty area, the Atlético de Madrid players all looked at him in a daze.
If the first long-range goal can be called luck, then two consecutive high-quality shots cannot be described as luck.
Even Simeone frowned after seeing Li Qingshan's two shots. It seems that he doesn't know enough about this center forward.
Atletico Madrid's players are in a mixed mood.
Isn't it said that most of the goals are scored with headers?
Why do you always go outside the penalty area and shoot long shots?
Where's your header?
Godin and Miranda looked at each other in blank dismay. Their plan to give a "welcome ceremony" to Li Qingshan, a newcomer to the team, was messed up by Li Qingshan's unconventional playing.
Li Qingshan looked at his new teammates, feeling a little strange?
What are you doing looking at me?
In fact, he just wanted to have a try, how effective the heavy artillery skill with an ability value of 88 would be.
Judging from these two feet, it is quite reliable.In particular, his shooting power is amazing, and the ball he shoots is extremely fast.If the angle is slightly tricky, the goalkeeper will be very difficult to handle.
Simeone turned his head and said to Juan Biscaino, his assistant standing next to him: "It seems that the strength of the Chinese boy is not just what he showed before, and I am already looking forward to more surprises from him. "
Simeone took a satisfied look at the big man he signed back in this winter transfer window.
