When Li Huan spent a lot of money in Spain to buy a car and a house, the Chinese team's winning streak in the top 10 of the World Cup qualifiers came to an abrupt end. After the two defeats, the Chinese team's original bright prospects for promotion suddenly dimmed, as the media broke the news that some players in the Chinese team were dissatisfied with the head coach Camacho, saying that he was nepotistic, many people began to have doubts about the Spanish coach Camacho, but the media and the Football Association are still optimistic that Camacho will lead the Chinese team to the World Cup again, and they have blocked all doubts about Camacho and the Chinese team, and only reporters are allowed to report positively, otherwise the right to interview will be cancelled. The Football Association's approach only covers up the contradictions, if the Chinese team can continue to win, everything is easy to say, if it continues to lose, the contradictions will be intensified.

When Chinese football was in trouble, Li Huan's football career in Atletico Madrid was smooth sailing, because Atletico Madrid's opponents were not very strong in the early part of the season, with the debut pass and shot to win the opener, Li Huan and Atletico Madrid have gained valuable run-in time, head coach Manzano is a famous Zhiduoxing, he has a flexible wrist when dealing with the relationship between players, stars and clubs, and has become the lubricant for Li Huan and the team to run-in.

In the fourth round, Atletico Madrid defeated Zaragoza 2:0, although Li Huan did not score, he played a vital role in the backline, allowing Atletico Madrid to keep the goal under Zaragoza's crazy attack and pressing.

In the fifth round, Atletico Madrid reversed La Liga's Chelsea - Malaga 3:1 at home, Li Huan scored twice, completed the second goal of the reversal, and also saved a must-score goal on the goal line, bringing confidence and stability to the always weak Atletico Madrid backline.

In the sixth round of Santander Athletic, Li Huan made a cameo appearance in the back, and he completed the task excellently, not only becoming an assault point in the middle, but also covering the left and right sides, overfulfilling the task, and Atletico Madrid also achieved a beautiful 4 consecutive victories after Li Huan joined.

After the sixth round, Atletico welcomed their first tough opponent of the season, the Southern Bulls Sevilla. Sevilla have been in decline since they were defending the UEFA Cup and have been slaughtered by Real Madrid in recent seasons, but they are not a team to be bullied and the middle class like Valencia, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid will struggle to take advantage of them.

At this time, after nearly a month of running-in, a new tactical play, a new core, a new mental outlook has been basically formed, the arrival of Sevilla is to bring Atletico Madrid the opportunity to test the team's combat effectiveness, in this confrontation between the middle class, Atletico Madrid won again, Li Huan scored his first hat trick after coming to La Liga, leading Atletico Madrid 6:1 slaughter of the southern bull Sevilla.

After this game, Manzano felt that captain Lopez was getting older and often had to play as a substitute, and the team needed a strong captain, after Li Huan accumulated a certain popularity and prestige, at Manzano's suggestion, Li Huan was elected by his teammates as the first team vice-president and played the role of captain when Lopez was not present.

Atletico Madrid has produced the youngest captain in the world, Torres led Atletico Madrid at the age of 19, but it is the first time that he has become the captain after only a month of transfer, but Atletico Madrid also has a group of nervous fans, they are not surprised by this, in their opinion, if it is not for Lopez's hard work, he will retire next season, and this season directly makes Xian deserved.

In the next game, Atletico continued to make great progress, after Li Huan's arrival, won 7 consecutive games, and Li Huan also scored 7 goals per game at the top of the scorer list.

However, Real Madrid Barcelona is really strong, Atletico Madrid 9 rounds of 7 wins, one draw and one loss did not even be able to reach the top of the standings, Real Madrid Barcelona each eight wins and one draw tied for the top spot, Atletico Madrid can only be relegated to third place, but the three-point gap also makes Atletico Madrid create a lot of pressure on the top two heroes.

Then it was the national team competition, and Atletico Madrid's internationals returned to China to participate in the World Cup qualifiers, and only Li Huan, captain Lopes and a very small number of substitutes stayed at the Madahonda training base to train with the players of the second team.

Although Atletico Madrid's youth training base is not as famous as Real Madrid's Castilla and Barcelona's La Masia, it is also a well-known youth training base in Spain, and it has also produced many talented players, such as Raul and Torres.

Atletico Madrid's club has an unwritten rule that the rest of the first-team players will train with the second team during the national team match, and teach the second-team players to play in order to improve the skills of the young people, increase their sense of belonging and their desire to succeed.

However, those who generally stay are ordinary players, and it is unique that a superstar like Li Huan has not been selected for the national team, because Li Huan appeared in the second team, and the training and games of the second team became lively, and a large number of fans were crowded with fans every day at the Mahonda base.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Huan drove his Lamborghini from his palace to the Mahanda training base, there was no game to say that he was very happy, training with the second team was just a formality, it was impossible to train as hard as in the first team, Li Huan enjoyed this leisurely life, went to the flight school in the morning to study, and went to the stadium to play ball in the afternoon, without any pressure, the relaxed Li Huan wanted to retire. Li Huan's arrival immediately attracted cheers from the players of the second team, and several Chinese players ran to Li Huan's Lamborghini to touch them enviously. Li Huan got out of the car and said, "What do you touch, play football well, and buy one yourself." Xu Yang said with a wry smile: "Principal, this car costs millions of euros, even if we can be promoted to Atletico Madrid's first team to play professional games, we may not be able to afford it, let alone if we return to China to play in the Chinese Super League, some clubs can't even afford to pay salaries." ”

Li Huan smiled: "I haven't played in Europe yet, so I have left a way out for myself, you should think, if I can succeed, I will become a star, and I will surpass Li Huan." Xu Yang showed a sincere smile, "More than the principal, I don't dare to have this dream, I am satisfied to be able to play in professional competitions." Yu Tong said: "I want to be the main force of Atletico Madrid." ”

"Then you're going to get rid of Diego and Gabi, but I'm optimistic about you, little one, eat fat." Li Huan said in an old-fashioned manner, and walked towards the training ground surrounded by everyone. The head coach of the second youth team is Mariarik, who is in charge of the mixed training of the first team and the second team together with the assistant coach of the first team, Eskeri, and the head coach Manzano went to watch the national team play.

After an hour of training, the players rested for fifteen minutes, Xu Yang, Yu Tong, Gu Tian and several other Chinese young people sat next to Li Huan to learn from experience, Xu Yang brought Li Huan a bottle of sports drink, Yu Tong diligently helped Li Huan relax his leg muscles, and the remaining guys praised Li Huan's performance in the confrontation game and patted him on the back.

Li Huan smiled and enjoyed the hospitality of the little ones, and said: "Seeing that you are so studious, I will teach you a little more experience, playing football in Spain, you can't be too eager for quick success, don't think about becoming a terminator savior, you have to learn to pass the ball, learn to fight bulls, I suggest you have time to go to see the bullfighting conference." In addition, Yu Tong and Gu Tian, you must pay attention to the change of rhythm, don't blindly seek speed, blindly move forward, as a midfield organizer, you can't be a good organizer if you don't have good skills. You have to connect the midfield and the front, always pay attention to the running position, receive the teammates who take the ball, be able to protect the ball, be able to get rid of the opponent's entanglement, always read the game, observe the offensive and defensive positions, judge everyone's next move, if there is no good opportunity, it is better to put the ball upside down than to hand it to the opponent easily, let your teammates spontaneously run around you, patiently press forward as a whole, send accurate through plugs when teammates are eager to try and prepare to run back, and let teammates who repeatedly run but do not receive passes restrain resentment. Continuing to pull the opposition defence unselfishly is a good organisational core, which I learned from Cesc Fabregas, but unfortunately I'm too old to be a playmaker, so you have to work hard. Li Huan's words are serious, look at these children who only have some fluff on their lips, Li Huan feels that he is really a little old, even if he is not old physically, he is also old in terms of mentality, this is the disadvantage of being a human being in two lives. Principal, are you really not going to participate in the World Cup? Xu Yang said with feelings. Don't want to. Li Huan leisurely looked at the blue sky and snow-white clouds, as if the World Cup had really become a floating cloud. But if you miss this World Cup, you may not have a chance to play in the World Cup again. You'll be thirty years old in the New Year. Yu Tong reminded in a whisper, as if he was afraid of waking up the person in his dream.

Li Huan did not speak. Yu Tong continued: "Did the principal read the news, the Chinese team lost again yesterday, losing to the Australian team at home, and lost three in a row. Xu Yang spat and said, "Shame, I don't know how to fight, I lost to the wallaby at the door of my house and was killed by someone." Two wins and three losses, 6 points, both Ben and Australia are four wins and one loss with 12 points, almost hand in hand, the Chinese team can only compete with Qatar and Uzbekistan for third. ”

Li Huan said leisurely: "There are still three games, if you win them all, you will accumulate 15 points, and you still hope to qualify second in the group, you must believe in the party, believe in the Football Association, believe in our players, believe in our AFC Chairman Zhang, play football is not good, and the ability to play crooked ways through the back door is still good." Yu Tong looked disdainful, "It's better to believe in them than to believe in God, I think it must be another cup, it is impossible for Ben and Australia not to win one of the three games, if we get the third, we must win the third in Group B, and then win the championship of Oceania, before it is possible to go to Brazil." Gu Tiandao: "We may not be able to finish third in the group, our remaining three games are away to Qatar, away to Ben, and home to Uzbekistan, each of which is not sure to win." ”

Yu Tong said: "If the principal can join the Chinese team, we will be sure to win all three games and win the third place in the group." ”

Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "God will lose if he joins the Chinese team, you little guys are still too young to understand Chinese characteristics." Xu Yang said: "It would be good if the Chinese Football Association could agree to the three conditions of the principal, and the people of the whole country are looking forward to it." ”

Li Huan sneered, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep without speaking, listening to several young Chinese players impassionedly discuss the great cause of saving Chinese football, although he knew that it was impossible, but he was still unwilling to destroy the dreams of young people, sometimes dreams can not be realized can also inspire people to improve.
