Chapter 140 Li Qiao Selected for the National Team
Camacho, a famous Spanish coach, once coached the Spanish national team, and Camacho played for the famous "Galaxy Battleship" Real Madrid in the player era. When he entered the Chinese national team on August 2011, 8, everyone expected him to be the same as Milou, bringing a surprise to China.
After a few months, all Chinese talents gradually discovered that what the Spaniard brought to Chinese football was not a surprise, but another two words "helpless".
After taking office, the relationship between Camacho and the Chinese media was very bad. As the head coach of the Chinese national team, Camacho didn't even live in China, but returned to his home in Spain when there was no training camp. From this point, many people saw Camacho's arrogance and disrespect for Chinese football.
Spanish football is in full swing now, and inviting Camacho is like the Chinese inviting "Shrapna" back then. They all think that foreign monks can chant scriptures, especially "monks" from the most powerful country in football.
But the fact is that Camacho's superiority immediately disappointed many people. It is really hard for people to accept that a coach does not stay in China to inspect players.
If arrogance is barely acceptable, then another characteristic of Camacho makes Chinese fans even more angry, that is stubbornness. After Camacho took office, he basically relied on the Chinese coaching team to use only a few people and basically did not promote newcomers. For example, Li Qiao, who has become popular recently, has never paid attention to him.
All dissatisfaction was suppressed for the time being. After all, top football results meant everything. Although the Chinese media had wanted to shoot Camacho for a long time, the Asian Top 20 had just started, and it was obviously too late to bombard Camacho.

The World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region are like this. I won’t introduce some of them before. Basically, those teams are from teams like Bhutan. What really matters are the top 20 matches and the final top 10 matches.
20强赛是把20支球队分成5个小组，每组4支球队，打主客场循环赛，排名前2名的晋级到10强赛。
The top 10 match is to divide 10 teams into 2 groups, Group A and Group B, with 5 teams in each group.
The third place in Group A and the third place in Group B need to PK, and the winner will go to a play-off with the fifth place in South America, and finally decide who can get this place.
The World Cup qualifiers in Asia are still a bit complicated to talk about, and the game time is relatively long, which is why it started relatively early.
*****
After understanding what is going on in the Asian World Cup qualifiers, one thing is very sad for Chinese fans, that is, after 2002, the Chinese team has never entered the top 10 in Asia.
In this top 20 match, China was in the same group as Singapore, Jordan, and Iraq. The first game went smoothly, and the Chinese team defeated Singapore. In the second away game against Jordan, a scene that surprised Chinese fans happened, that is, the Chinese team lost to Jordan.
That is, after that game, the Chinese media, which had endured for several months, finally broke out, and all the blame was directed at the head coach Camacho.
Even the Spanish media laughed at Camacho's incompetence, and the radical media simply called Camacho a football liar who only paid a salary and didn't work.
Facing the tremendous pressure, Camacho also had to bow his proud head and began to reflect. He began to think seriously about the next game, how to prepare for the away game against Iraq on December 12.
Don’t look at only one game lost, but it’s very important. In this group, Singapore was studying with the prince, so there is no competitiveness. Everyone knows that the qualifying team will be produced from China, Jordan, and Iraq. If China lost to its direct competitor Jordan in the last game, then the next game must not be lost. If it loses, the situation will become very ugly.
Forced by the situation, Camacho had to discuss with the Chinese coaching staff, and finally decided to make some changes. He decided to call all four Chinese from Guangzhou Tianbao, the champion of the AFC Champions League, to the national team, namely Qi Bing, Li Qiao, Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai.
In addition, he also decided to recall a talented Chinese defender who played in Europe, the 20-year-old young central defender "Wei Xiao" who is currently playing for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

When Li Qiao received the call, he was quite surprised to be honest. Although many people whispered in his ears, telling him that you would definitely enter the national team, Li Qiao still didn't dare to think that all this would come so early.
After hanging up the phone, Li Qiao couldn't fall asleep anymore, he got up and washed his face, then called home excitedly.
"What, you entered the national team," Li Shan exclaimed.
"His father, keep your voice down, it will wake up the neighbors," Li's mother reminded.
But Li Shan’s heart was still pounding. I remember that when he was a fan, Li Shan liked to say to the TV, “If it was me, the Chinese team would have entered the World Cup earlier.”
Now that his son has realized his dream, the excitement in Li Shan's heart is beyond words.
"I also just received a call, and I will go to the national team to report the day after tomorrow,"
"Wait," Li Shan said.
Li Shan remembered watching "Sports News" at 6 o'clock last night. The Chinese team's current top 20 match is not optimistic, and they are going to play an away game against Iraq soon. This is a tough game.
"That means you are going to play in Iraq," Li Shan said.
In fact, Li Shan was worried that Iraq was very dangerous, but what Li Shan didn't know was that the away game against Iraq was scheduled to be held in Qatar.
"The first game may not necessarily be the first game," Li Qiao said.
"It's okay, as long as you can serve the country," Li Shan said in a choked tone. What Lobarov imagined with him on the streets of Jinhua back then has really come true today.
"Why are you crying, Dad, then go to Doha to watch my game," Li Qiao said happily.
"Doha? Isn't the capital of Iraq called Baghdad? When did it change its name?" Li Shan said.
Li Qiao's laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"Dad, considering the situation in Iraq, the AFC has arranged all the matches in Iraq in Qatar",
After listening to Li Qiao's explanation, Li Shan let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I will definitely take your mother to watch your game."
After hanging up the phone with his parents, Li Qiao was still very excited. He looked at the address book in his mobile phone and decided to call everyone in the address book to share his inner excitement.
Of course, doing this in the early hours of the morning would offend a lot of people. Most people would want to swear when they received a call, but when they heard the news, most of them were as excited as Li Qiao.
*****
Pull the address book to the end, there is only one person left who Li Qiao hasn't notified yet, and that is Stan! !
Li Qiao knew that club coaches and national team coaches are enemies in any country. In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the Dutch team concealed Robben’s injury. Afterwards, the Bayern club was furious and wanted to sue the Dutch Football Association in court. The Bayern club did not give up until the Dutch team promised to arrange a friendly match with Bayern, and the ticket money went to Bayern.
Earlier in the 2002 World Cup, Zidane, the core midfielder of the French team, was injured in the pre-match warm-up match. However, in the third game of the group stage, facing the life-and-death battle with Denmark, the French team sent the injured Zidane.
Facing the upcoming Club World Cup, Li Qiao knew how much Stan cared. At this time, the last thing Stan wanted to hear was that Li Qiao would go to the national team.
Sure enough, when Stan received Li Qiao's call, he just listened quietly, and finally said lightly, "Congratulations, Joe".
"You're upset, Stan"?Li Qiao asked.
"Well, it's a little selfish to say that, but I have to say I care more about the Club World Cup," Stein said.
"It's understandable," Li Qiao said.
"As you know, the FIFA virus has plagued many clubs," Stein said.
Li Qiao knew that this meant that the national team consumed a lot of energy and even injured players, so many club coaches called playing for the national team the FIFA virus.
"Haha, Stan, I promise I will go all out in the Club World Cup," Li Qiao said.
Stan laughed too, and said, "Okay, congratulations again to the national team, this time my blessing is real",
"Okay, your blessing has been received, and will you go to Doha to watch my game then?"
"No, but don't forget to ask Old Stone to go," Stan said.
Stan aside, Li Qiao really forgot about Coach Shi. He had been looking forward to joining the national team a few months ago, but the drink was so fun that time, Li Qiao finally forgot to ask for Coach Shi's cell phone.
"Okay, you can send me Coach Shi's mobile phone",
"OK, but I'm going to go back to sleep, you know, I was dreaming about playing against Barcelona in the Club World Cup just now, when you called, my live broadcast was cut off," Stein said.
Li Qiao laughed out loud, Old Stan was getting more and more funny.
Li Qiao also called Coach Shi. After hanging up the phone, he suddenly had nothing to do. Li Qiao could only lie down in silence, the national team?World Cup qualifying games?Or in the future World Cup, Li Qiao's mind is full of infinite fantasies, will he stand in Brazil?Going to Maracana?There is also the majestic Monte Cristo. Although the Chinese team is still far away from the World Cup, any professional player will be excited when he thinks of the World Cup.Because that's the belief, the player's belief.
Thinking about it, Li Qiao gradually fell asleep, with a smile on his lips, he dreamed that he was standing on the stage of the World Cup.
