There is a belief called football

The three of them drove all the way south. When they passed through Belgium, the car needed gas. Li Qiao said that he would go to refuel, but Baggio waved his hand and refused.

In the gas station, after Baggio put the oil gun into the fuel tank, he stood aside and waited. At this time, Baggio was wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker, leaning against the car. All the women who passed by were attracted by him. Baggio was the "popular lover" in Europe at that time, and his charm has not diminished until now.

After refueling, they drove through Belgium and entered France, which was very close to Paris. The three of them had a simple "French meal" on the side of the road.

Along the way, Li Qiao only asked one question about football - "You have experienced so many clubs, which one left the deepest impression on you".

Baggio's answer was simple - "Brescia".

"Is it because you were the absolute boss of the team at that time?"Li Qiao asked.

Baggio smiled, and he said lightly: "No, it's because I didn't really appreciate the fun of football at that time."

"Weren't you happy before"?

"No, it should be said that before, happiness should be ranked after grades. If I need to choose between "utilitarian football" and "happy football", then I must choose the former."

"Well, a professional player must be worthy of every penny you earn," Li Qiao said.

"But Brescia is a mid-range team. There is no need to relegation or to qualify for the European war. In the few years there, I only need to play for myself, just like when I was a child, playing purely for pleasure."

Li Qiao fantasized in his mind, "That must be a very cool state-playing football for fun, not caring about grades, money, or the media's opinion."

"Maybe I will choose that before I retire, find a mid-range club, play happily for two years, or go back to China," Li Qiao said.

"I suggest that you must do that, otherwise you will not experience the joy of football," Baggio said.

Li Qiao meeting Baqiao is like "Linghu Chong" meeting "Feng Qingyang" at Siguoya in Huashan Mountain. What Baqiao can teach Li Qiao is something that other people can't learn in their entire life. Be indifferent, happy, and do something for your own heart!

Li Qiao took a peek at Baggio in the driver's seat, and his image in Li Qiao's heart became bigger and bigger.

Two hours before the match, the Parc des Princes was already full of people. Everyone was waiting to enter the stadium. After the Charlie Hebdo incident at the beginning of the year, the security level in Paris had increased, especially for large events like the Champions League. There were mounted police and riot police everywhere outside the stadium.

When Li Qiao and the others arrived at the ticket gate, the security guard recognized Baggio at a glance. He was very excited and waved his hand, indicating that the three of them could go in.

Before leaving, he whispered, "Robert, I'm your big fan."

Baggio still smiled charmingly, and then walked into the court.

Not long after sitting down, Li Qiao saw that the "Dortmund" players had come out to warm up. At this time, he realized that the purpose of coming this time was not to travel with Baggio, but to watch "Dortmund". After all, the only motivation for Li Qiao to come back this season is to help "Dortmund" play in the Champions League.

Li Qiao glanced at the big screen, Paris Saint-Germain's starting list has come out.

Goalkeeper - Sirigu.

Defender - Van der Weel, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Maxwell.

Midfielders - Verratti, Matuidi, Pastore.

Frontcourt - Lavezzi, Cavani, Lucas.

433 formation.

If this lineup is used well, it will definitely be the strength of the Champions League champions. All three lines can be said to be one of the best in today's football.

Li Qiao took a look. Paris Saint-Germain can play except for the red card suspended "Ibrahimovic" and the injured "Motta".

"Take it easy, young man, football is round," Baggio said.

Obviously Baggio saw that Li Qiao was nervous.

"I don't know why, but I feel more nervous watching football than playing football," Li Qiao said.

"Of course, I remember the 2006 World Cup final, I was too nervous to watch the final penalty shootout," said Baggio.

Li Qiao chuckled, "Yes, you can decide your own destiny on the court, but sitting on the sidelines and watching, you will feel powerless."

"It seems that neither of us is the kind of person who is not suitable to be a coach," Baggio said with a smile.

Li Qiao also laughed.

"Matuidi" swung his leg in front of the penalty area, and Bender made a pounce, but Matuidi's shot was a fake shot and a real dunk. After dunking "Bender", Matuidi volleyed vigorously with his right foot, and the ball flew out like a cannonball. When the audience cheered, there was a crisp sound, and the ball hit the crossbar.

If Dortmund was expected to encounter a thunderstorm in the away game before the game, then the reality is a storm. Paris Saint-Germain, uncharacteristically, stormed Dortmund in the first 10 minutes, as if they wanted to eat Dortmund in the first 180 minutes. The home and away rounds of the Champions League are 10 minutes, so in general, they will test their opponents first at the beginning. It is rare for a team like Paris Saint-Germain to play the first 10 minutes as the last [-] minutes.

It seems that "Blanco" has carefully studied Dortmund and made full preparations at home. He hopes to knock Dortmund out with a stick when Dortmund's staff is not complete. This trick was used when Real Madrid played Dortmund at home last season.

After experiencing two dangerous situations, Klopp quickly calmed down while having lingering fears. At this time, most people must think of tightening the fence and shrinking the defense, but Klopp is not an ordinary person. He is not strengthening the defense, but waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

After the storm in the opening game of Paris, the midfield also needed to breathe a sigh of relief. When "Verratti" took the ball, he deliberately slowed down the rhythm. When he slowed down, Bender pounced like a lion preying on him, and put "Verratti" with the ball. The Paris fans booed wildly, but the referee did not call a foul.

Verratti himself was injured in this fight. After taking the ball, Bender flicked his instep and gave it directly to Mkhitaryan, who responded to Aubameyang.

Comparing the speed with Aubameyang, it must be Bolt. After 20 meters, the Gabonese had already thrown off the two positions of "Van de Weer". He looked in the penalty area, Ramos and Royce were there. Aubameyang made a cross with his left foot, but the ball went directly to the other side.

Klopp grinned angrily on the sidelines, "What a great opportunity."

At this moment, the gap between Aubameyang and Li Qiao can be seen. If the ball was passed by Li Qiao from the wing, at least it would not be so outrageous.

But this attack shocked the "Grand Paris". Blanco saw the huge defensive gap left by his attack. On the football field, the best defense is to counterattack. If you have no ability to counterattack, then the opponent will attack you without any worries.

Klopp understands this truth very well, so in a passive situation, he did not strengthen his defense, but tried to fight a counterattack.

The effect of Klopp's doing this is also very good. Blanco gestured and asked the midfielder to retreat. It seems that it is impossible to kill Dortmund with a stick.

After 10 minutes, the two sides showed a very high level of technical and tactical skills. Paris hit directly with a heavy punch. Dortmund cleverly avoided the heavy punch, went around behind the opponent and gave the opponent a slap unexpectedly. After the first round, the game entered a stalemate.

The 22 people on the field are in their positions, and the classic formation diagram is seen from the air. In this situation, both sides are very stable. On the other hand, neither side has any chance.

Suddenly, Paris Saint-Germain's center "Cavani" ran back, but "Hummels" who was marking him was stunned, "What does he mean?"

The center forward’s retreat generally has two intentions, one is to retreat to get the ball and then move forward, the other possibility is to draw the opponent’s central defender away and insert the wing into the middle. If it is the former, then Hummels must follow Cavani. If it is the latter, then Hummels will be fooled.

The situation on the field is changing rapidly. Hummels can't press the timeout. After thinking about it carefully, he can only follow Cavani out of the penalty area based on experience. At this time, "Pastore" from the wing immediately cut to the middle. Hummels knew he was fooled, but there was nothing he could do.

He could only glance at the teammate who was filling the position, and because Dortmund's 4 defenders were in parallel positions, others could not catch up with "Pastore". In desperation, Hummels could only look at "Weidenfeller" standing in front of the goal.

Lavezzi made a pass from the wing, and "Pastore" who was unmarked could head the goal comfortably. The Argentine kept his stomach and chest up, and the header mainly relied on the strength of his waist and abdomen. Pastore headed the ball hard to the upper left corner of the goal.

Li Qiao clenched his fists in the stands, and his buttocks had already left the seat, as if he was right in front of the door, "Roman jump out."

Weidenfeller saw the direction the ball was coming from and leaped vigorously, stretching his right hand to the limit. At this moment, what echoed in his mind was the promise he made to Li Qiao before the game, the promise to go to Berlin.
