Chapter 46 Season End (Two in One) The bus arrived at the Trigoria training base, passing through flowers and applause. Enrique announced that the whole team would have a day off. The Roma coaching staff felt relieved, as the opponents in the last five league rounds were all "unmotivated" mid- and lower-tier teams. Moreover, with the European Cup approaching, the opponents' defensive scale would be very small, and the probability of their own players getting injured would be even lower. Gao Qi put on his pants and walked out of the physical examination room. Ivan waited at the door for a long time, put his arm around his shoulders and walked aside, saying earnestly: "Gao, we can't take it lightly and we need to stay in good shape to face every game." "Now that the whole of Serie A is familiar with your characteristics, it will become increasingly difficult to score goals. If you play against Juventus again next season, it will not be so easy for you to break through that steel defense and Buffon." Can understand. Many rookie forwards who were "invincible" at the beginning of the season were studied thoroughly after half a season of glory, and thus fell into endless "jail".
The bald assistant coach has seen too many geniuses who fell because of their mentality, including himself who was so arrogant in his youth that he refused to listen to Cruyff's tactical arrangements. Gao Qi nodded seriously: "Thank you, Ivan." You need to work hard, be self-disciplined, and maintain a good competitive mentality. The future opponents are very strong. He untied his shoelaces and ran quickly to the training ground. The bald assistant coach was stunned for a few seconds, and then quickly shouted: "That's not what I meant, you need to rest now!" The season is drawing to a close. Clubs are also preparing for the summer transfer window. That evening. The young assistant came to the first-team dormitory area and stopped Gao Qi who was training on the green field. "Gao, do you have a dream team?" dream? Hearing this word, Gao Qi inexplicably thought of his former youth team partner - Morata. Telling Atletico Madrid that the dream is Atletico Madrid in front of Atletico Madrid partners. Telling Real Madrid teammates that his dream is Real Madrid. "No, I think Rome is pretty good right now." Gao Qi took the towel and wiped the sweat off his face. The experience in Rome was indeed good, and the relationship between the coach and teammates was simple. The assistant smiled and said, "Many clubs have sent us inquiries, wanting to discuss your transfer with Mr. Sabatini, including Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Wolfsburg, and Leverkusen."
"Big clubs cannot guarantee your tactical position or number of appearances." "The two Bundesliga teams are willing to further communicate about the tactical position, but the salary they offer is definitely not as good as Roma, and they will not qualify for the Champions League next season." Gao Qi nodded. He had no disrespect for the two Bundesliga powerhouses. I respect them very much and admire their style of play. But we will have the chance to open the platinum treasure chest only if we play in the Champions League next season. I still have many shortcomings, and it takes too long to accumulate the attributes of the golden treasure chest. If he never plays in the Champions League, he might not be able to realize the talents bestowed by all modules until he is in his forties. By that time, his physical functions will have declined significantly. "Lurking for 30 years, dominating the veterans' race!" "You rank very high in major football data analysis agencies, but for the top teams, the sample size is small and the base number of games is small. They already have a tactical core, so there is no way to guarantee you anything." The young assistant patiently analyzed the situation and secretly observed Gao Qi's expression, but didn't notice anything. Gao Qi could understand that if he were the boss of a wealthy and powerful team, he would only scratch lottery tickets and would not guarantee a tactical position to a young player who had played in Serie A for half a season. Drop drop drop. The assistant's cell phone rang. It's the area code for London. He hesitated and handed the phone to Gao Qi. Gao Qi pressed the connect button. An old man's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Gao, I am Arsene Wenger, thank you Sabatini for giving us the opportunity to communicate." After a while. hang up the phone. The assistant asked curiously, "What did Arsenal say specifically?" Gao Qi looked up at the night sky and said, "I am too expensive now. I exceed Arsenal's budget for the summer transfer window and cannot go to London." "Arsenal are willing to try to give tactical positions in some games." "Wenger said he built the team around a number nine and a half and knew how to use a tactical role like me." "The Champions League group stage will give the starting lineup a chance." "The rest depends on me to fight for it." "The salary is lower than the new contract with Roma because it cannot break the balance of Arsenal's salary structure." "Mr Sabatini asked for 5000 million euros, saying my value was much higher than that."
"But Arsenal's budget is insufficient. They have already agreed on several signings for the summer transfer window. Wenger said that he would borrow another sum from the bank next year and pay it in installments, even if I cannot maintain my current competitive form in Serie A." The assistant's eyes lit up: "How much is left? You have saved a lot of money in your account, advertising endorsements, goal bonuses, and salary from the new contract with Roma." Pay out of pocket? Gao Qi could never do such a thing. The schedule on the eve of the end of the 2011/12 Serie A was extremely tight. Three days later, the 34th round of the league. Enrique did not let the main players play. What's more, Gao Qi is only 18 years old this year. The Roma coach who was born in Barcelona has a deep understanding: excessive fatigue will ruin a genius. then. Roma sent a massively rotated substitute lineup to Puglia to challenge the 'Little Pepper' - Lecce. Why is Lecce's nickname "Little Pepper"? Because its style of play is very aggressive, no matter what type of coach, the club's top management requires them to play offensive football. No matter whether you are a giant or a weak team, Lecce will treat you the same: attack, attack and attack again. The scene was unexpected. Vidimari Stadium. A young player with an afro wearing the No. 7 jersey of Lecce became the focus on the football field. His ball-handling rhythm was higher than that of all the other players, and he kicked the ball like crazy. The afro shakes as the body shakes, creating an indescribable rhythmic beauty. Enrique was beaten dizzy. "Cuadrado, the supernova from Colombia!" "A genius who came out of the slums, he played as a number nine and a half when he played for Independiente Medellin in South America, and was gradually transformed into a full-back and a winger." "The pace of his passing is a bit like Ronaldinho's." "Yes, he claimed in an interview that his idol is Ronaldinho and he has been imitating Ronaldinho in playing football since he was a child." "Enrique wasn't familiar enough with him. Roma's flanks were completely blown away by him." "I heard that Barcelona and Juventus are both interested in signing Cuadrado." finally. Lecce 4:2 Roma. The Red Wolves' winning streak was ended and Enrique was questioned by the media again. Round 35 of Serie A.
Roma vs. 'Columbus' Genoa at home. Because Genoa is the hometown of Columbus, but the club was founded by several British people in the 19th century. With wealthy ancestors, Genoa is the fourth club in terms of the number of Italian top league titles. The last time they won the Serie A title was in the 1923/1924 season. That year. Ta Kung Pao was founded. Humans discovered Pluto. The Tsar abdicated. The last emperor walked out of the Forbidden City. There was no suspense in the game. Roma, who fielded their full main lineup, pressed Genoa into the penalty area and launched a fierce siege. The opposing coach, Malesani, is a representative figure of dogmatic football. He measures the range of movement of each player in "centimeters" and arranges the tactical timeline to the precision of "seconds". This guy's coaching staff even studies what kind of shoes opposing players like to wear. "You can't score when you have the upper hand." "Several of Roma's attacking points have been thoroughly studied." "Genoa's counterattack was also unsuccessful, as the players did not have the strength to do so." "A very retro Serie A match." finally. The referee blew the whistle to end the game. Roma 0:0 Genoa. The host of the national television station blocked Enrique in the underground garage and presented him with a Golden Tapir Award. This is a trophy for satire, criticism of reality, and the like. The winners are mainly the most unlucky and frustrated players, coaches or bosses in Serie A. Allegri, Cassano, Adriano, Totti, Italian Prime Minister and many others have been awarded this award. Round 36 of Serie A. Gao Qi and his teammates took a plane and arrived in the Veneto region in northeastern Italy. At the airport pick-up point. Reporters outside the cordon rushed to ask questions: "Gao, you haven't scored in two games. Does the 200-minute goal drought make you feel confused?" “I didn’t play in the first two rounds.”
"." The atmosphere froze for a few seconds, then returned to normal in an instant. Everyone is used to it. Journalists in the Italian media often make this mistake. Criticizing for the sake of criticizing, this tradition originated from the "Apennine dictator" Mussolini. When Mussolini was young, he worked in a newspaper. He did not pay attention to facts when writing, and even had a lot of typos. The content was full of criticism. Criticize the Earth's rotation speed as too slow. Criticizing the moon for not being round enough. Criticizing the Alps for not being high enough. Criticizing the Mediterranean is a bad position. As a result, he actually gained a large number of supporters in that magical and abstract era, laying the mass foundation for the establishment of a political party in the future. Many years later, experts analyzed that criticism and questioning that are unrelated to facts will accelerate the secretion of dopamine in the human body, bringing a higher level of pleasure than smoking. There is still no suspense in the game. Gao Qi's starting lineup made Totti and De Rossi feel much more relaxed. The fulcrum for controlling the offense is back! "Gao Qi is getting more and more stable with the ball between the lines." “The larger the model, the larger the control radius.” "When he's under pressure, he doesn't need too many support points around him." “If you can’t get rid of technology, use your body to solve the problem.” "His control of the court requires very low intelligence from his teammates. The dumber the better. Hey, don't be too opinionated. Gao Qi will build up an offensive advantage and the ball will flow to you." The 18th minute of the game. Gao Qi received a pass from Pjanic in the opponent's 14th area, attracting a double-team from several big men from Chievo. The football quickly left his right foot. Rolling to Bojan on the left. The Crown Prince of La Masia can often perform at a god-level in a favorable situation. Drop your shoulders and take big steps. chug. He broke through two defenders and passed the ball to Totti on the left side of the penalty area. The Wolf King pushed the ball into the goal!
1: 0! The 27th minute of the game. Gao Qi received a pass from his teammate in the 30-meter area, and in an instant, he was grabbed by the face, gouged out the eyes, and had his pants pulled by three Chievo men. He was halfway through his attempt to escape when he was beaten black and blue. Beep! The referee blows the whistle. Pjanic took the free kick from the foul position. approach. Swing your legs. The falling leaf ball breaks the net! 2:0! ! ! The 38th minute of the game. De Rossi fired a powerful shot from outside the penalty area! The football hit the Chievo defender's butt hard and bounced out of the baseline. Corner kick opportunity. Enrique danced with excitement. Pjanic takes a corner kick. The football spun violently in the air and fell straight into the Chievo penalty area. Under the interference of two defensive players, Gao Qi jumped high and headed the ball towards the goal! 3:0! ! ! Totti quickly waved to everyone to come over and celebrate with Gao Qi. The Champions League qualification, which was originally shaky, has been stabilized again. All three goals in the first half were related to Gao Qi. Throughout the Olympic Stadium, tens of thousands of Roma fans shouted the hero's name. Gao Qi patted his forehead: After years of training, his heading skills had improved, but he still couldn't do Bierhoff's "elevator header", "falling leaf header", "rainbow header" and "super long-distance powerful header". Chievo did not sit idly by. Enrique's 424 formation gave them the opportunity! finally. The referee blew the whistle to end the game. Roma 5:3 Chievo. Gao Qi made two assists and one goal, helping the team secure its qualification for the Champions League next season. time flies. The opponents in the last two league games are Cesena and Catania. The two clubs had no desire and their defensive actions were very "civilized".
Roma won easily. Enrique felt relieved after finally qualifying for next season's Champions League. The Eternal City was like a grand festival. Fans spread the word. No one expected that Roma, which was in a quagmire this season, could actually win the qualification for the Champions League. The value of this young Chinese player who came out of nowhere to join the club is unquestionable. Gao Qi didn't care about the value. He hurried back to the dormitory and prepared to open the treasure chest. Because the schedule was too easy. He saved up all three golden treasure chests to experience the joy of the lottery. [Chievo treasure chest is opening] [Congratulations on obtaining: Sorrentino's "Basics of Goalkeeper" module, Goalkeeping attribute +1. ] [Cesena treasure chest is opening] [Congratulations on obtaining: Lauro's "Defender's Determination" module, defensive attribute +1. ] [Catania treasure chest is opening] [Congratulations on obtaining: Seymour's "Sweeping Experience" module, steal attribute +1. ] The light from the three treasure chests made the dormitory look like a dance hall. Colorful and twinkling. [“Platini – Superstar in the Spotlight” fragment *4. ] Sure enough, because the difficulty of the competition was too low, the rewards that were unlocked were all attribute value modules with no special effects. Gao Qi felt it was not bad, at least his defense and stealing attributes were really of some use to him. Modern football requires forwards to have increasingly comprehensive abilities, and the function of "shield striker" is gradually emerging. The TV was broadcasting the final news of the five major leagues. The host concluded in Roman dialect: "The top scorers in each league are announced." "Premier League: Robin van Persie 30 goals." "Serie A: Ibrahimovic 28 goals." "Bundesliga: Huntelaar 29 goals." "Ligue 21: Giroud goals." "La Liga: Messi 50 goals."
"Here's a preview of the Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Chelsea!" (End of this chapter)
