17 Disgraceful competition
While Liu Qiu was still struggling to accumulate his own strength in his villa, at night, with the highlights of the Argentine Football Sports TV Station, his name, Leonwell, had begun to be known to many Argentine fans.
"In the first round of the autumn league this afternoon, the River Plate team at home ushered in the challenge of the college team. As a result, under the leadership of the team leader Ariel Ortega, the River Plate team lost three games at home. Zero to win. The biggest highlight of the game appeared in the 69th minute of the game. The 18-year-old talented midfielder Leonwell of the River Plate team replaced his teammate Simeone, and then started his perfect 20-plus minutes The show. In the limited time, Lionwell helped the River Plate team to expand the lead through effective passing and defense, and in the 80th minute of the game, he used an imaginative heel kick pass to teammate Cam Biaso sent an assist, there is no doubt that this handsome guy has conquered the hearts of the fans of the home team at the Monument Stadium this afternoon..."
Although the news reports in this era are not as developed as when Liu Qiu traveled, but the influence of news communication and the media's deliberate exaggeration made Leonwell's name become the focus of the first round of the A-League Autumn League.
In a famous program called "Hello, Ajia" on Argentine TV, the famous former Argentine star Mario Alberto Kempes expressed his love for Lionwell.
"I'm pretty sure the kid has a great future ahead of him. I really can't imagine him playing professionally for the first time, and I can tell he has a great relationship with everyone on the team. A rookie can get Ariel. (Ortega) and Camby feed the ball so much, it's really rare. As for his style of play, oh, I don't think he will be Redondo's second, obviously, he has a stronger attack in his body For a traditional midfielder, his style of play is very elegant, but he also has a fierce side. At least he suffers from physical confrontation, but he is not afraid. For a child who is only 18 years old, this is undoubtedly most precious."
Another guest of "Hello, Ajia" is also a well-known Argentine football commentator, Kempez Srna Validek agreed with Kempes' point of view: "Actually, what surprised me the most is that we have always The picky Kempes would actually like a fledgling kid. You must know that Mr. Kempes played as a striker when he played football, but now he actually appreciates a midfielder. To be honest, I think Lionwell is really good, but We still need to observe, after all, he is a rookie who only played more than 20 minutes, but I have some expectations that he will play the main role in the next game."
The Argentine media will not be like England, who directly praise new stars as soon as they emerge. The Argentine media also expressed their rational side when admiring Lionwell.
It is strange that square-headed Englishmen are always so lacking in reason in such matters, while the flamboyant Argentines can.

"It's the first time to be on the newspaper and TV, how do you feel, Xiaoqiuzi?" The next day, Liu Qiu, who was about to go to the team's training ground, saw a copy of "Buenos Aires" in the hands of the old housekeeper as soon as he left the house. post".
"Phew, Ciciro, our goal is to reach the Argentine national team in one autumn league and one spring league. The me now? I'm still far away." Liu Qiu has become more and more concerned about his future. clear. As for the newspaper? There will be many such things in the future, and Liu Qiu will not find it new.
Work hard to accumulate strength, strength is the kingly way that determines everything on the court, as for his handsome appearance? If David Beckham can't send so many exquisite long pass assists, do you think it is possible for Sir Alex Ferguson to let him wear Manchester United's No. 7?
...
Today's River Plate team's training ground is much more lively than in the past. It is obvious that the first-round league victory has given the players confidence in the autumn league.
"Hey, our big star is here! Hey, Leon, now you are the big star of River Plate." As soon as Ortega saw Liu Qiu, he walked over with a smile, joking and patting Liu Qiu shoulder said.
Seeing this scene, Cambiasso also smiled knowingly.
Liu Qiu said with a gloomy face: "Brother Ortega, don't make fun of me. I can't be considered a big star now. I'm just a rookie." Respect is still necessary.
The path of a villain has twists and turns...
Liu Qiu didn't notice somewhere on the training ground. Simeone, who was replaced by him in the first round, was looking at him with a resentful expression.
Although he was only replaced in the first round, there are many signs that Liu Qiu is likely to completely replace him in the middle of the autumn league.
Simeone has never been a big man, never been...
"Camby, remember you promised me yesterday." Before the training started, Liu Qiu did not forget to remind Cambiasso to stay with him for special training after training.
Cambiasso smiled helplessly, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Leon, what I said will definitely be done."
After another confirmation from Cambiasso, Liu Qiu nodded in relief.
Soon with the arrival of the head coach Carlos Babington, the training session began. Because the game was only played yesterday, today's training is mainly about recovery training.
But maybe everyone's fighting spirit was too high, so the training session was only halfway through, and Ortega suggested that everyone come to play futsal.
Futsal is quite popular in South America, because South America is not as developed as Europe, and many high-quality football fields can be built, so for many children in South America who love football, they don't need too much space, just pick up a few Futsal, with rocks as the goal, became their favourite.
But don't underestimate futsal. Why is the technique of South American football so delicate? A big part of this is thanks to futsal.
Ortega's proposal was immediately approved by everyone.
Play it outside of training and no one, including head coach Carlos Babington, would object.
The teams were drawn by lot, and Liu Qiu, Cambiasso and Ortega were all assigned to different teams.
Because there are a total of 27 people in the first team, including the goalkeeper, you must know that many South American goalkeepers have very good skills at their feet.
So, everyone was divided into six groups, and one group had only three people, but they could choose two members from other groups that were kicked out to join in the competition.
The rules are quite simple, whichever side advances, the other side will go down. The rules on the court will not change much no matter where they go.
Liu Qiu's group performed well under the leadership of Liu Qiu, kicking out Cambiasso and Ortega successively.
As soon as Ortega's group came up, Ortega became the key object of care, so the little donkey hadn't shown much performance, and was kicked down by a substitute striker in Liu Qiu's group with an incredible lob.
As for Cambiasso's group, it can be seen that Camby's level of playing futsal is average, so he has become an unremarkable person in his group. On the contrary, it is Liu Qiu who won the victory with a few wonderful tricks. Many teammates applauded from the sidelines.
After winning two games in a row, the morale of Liu Qiu's group is also boosted. According to the rules, if Liu Qiu's group kills the other groups, then the punishment for everyone in the other groups will be doubled...
So in order to let other people do more push-ups and run in circles, Liu Qiu and his group worked very hard.
Three consecutive victories, four consecutive victories, and soon they will face the last group. This group is not favored because it has three goalkeepers.
But because it is related to everyone's punishment, Ortega and Cambiasso are also on the opposite side of Liu Qiu.
"Hey, kill them! Goalkeepers! You are the best!" Ortega shouted from the sidelines.
"Give them some color, guys, if you win, you're heroes!" Cambiasso also booed.
Lively scene, cheerful atmosphere.
In the eyes of coach Carlos Babinton, this is the best thing.
But for one person in the goalkeeper team, he was quite upset. This person was Simeone who was assigned to the goalkeeper team.
He glared fiercely at Liu Qiu, the junior, "What the fuck, why are the cheers, applause, and flowers all snatched away by this bastard rookie who came out of nowhere?"
Simeone's psychology is quite unbalanced.
At the beginning of the game, Simeone, who was in charge of man-marking Liu Qiu, gave Liu Qiu a hard hit as soon as he came up.
His shoe studs stepped on Liu Qiu's shin guards. This vengeful kick was disguised as an accident under Simeone's kind appearance.
"Oh, sorry, Leon, I didn't hold my feet." Simeone said to Liu Qiu with an apologetic expression.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's normal to play football." Liu Qiu also didn't take it seriously, because this kind of stampede is too common on the court.
However, Carlos Babington, the head coach on the sidelines, still reminded: "Guys, everyone is just entertaining, don't be too serious."
Carlos Babington doesn't want his players to be injured in this kind of play.
But Liu Qiu soon discovered that Simeone didn't look like he had confiscated his feet at all.
Because when Simeone defended Liu Qiu, this guy made a lot of tricks.
In the South American League, small moves are essential, but such small moves are used to deal with teammates, and it is still in this kind of playful five-a-side game...
Liu Qiu even inadvertently saw Simone's resentful eyes.
Several times, he couldn't bear it anymore, because Simeone's unusual pulling, elbowing, and knee pushing these malicious movements slowly used them.
"There seems to be something wrong, Camby, look, how can the general expression of confronting Leon be so painful?" Ortega on the sidelines also began to see something was wrong.
"Well, there is indeed something wrong." Cambiasso frowned.
Having partnered with Simeone for two seasons, Cambiasso knows that his partner is definitely not a big-hearted person. Seeing that Liu Qiu, a rising star, is about to rob him of his starting position, Simeone must be very upset...
But Cambiasso didn't say these words, because he didn't want to affect the happy atmosphere of unity in the team.
Foxes always show their tails gradually. Simeone, who is addicted to kicking, also scolded Liu Qiu in a low voice when he kept doing small tricks: "You bastard, little JJ was bitten by a prostitute." The idiot, the SB whose whole family was raped by dogs... watch labor and capital torture you to death."
Liu Qiu really didn't know that Simeone's resentment towards him was so great.
"What did you say? Simeone?" Liu Qiu also stopped the ball, and suddenly gave Simeone a vicious look.
"Oh, I said the sun is really nice today, come on, Leon, try to beat me." Simeone's face was like the weather in England, cloudy or sunny.
Huh... Suppressing the anger in his heart, Liu Qiu continued to focus on the competition.
But soon, he heard Simeone whispering again... and Simeone's movements became bigger and bigger.
"Damn it! What on earth are you trying to do? Stupid b!" Liu Qiu suddenly pushed Simeone away. Just now Simeone elbowed Liu Qiu's stomach, which made Liu Qiu very uncomfortable.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is Simeone's soft and soft, ugly and ugly curses.
On the training ground, the River Plate players who didn't know what happened were suddenly taken aback.
Head coach Carlos Babington was also taken aback.
No one knows what happened on the field.
Liu Qiu, who pushed Simeone down, suddenly stepped forward and stared at Simeone fiercely: "Everyone is here to play professional football, is it necessary? Just give me a few dirty words, he-damn, If you make another smack, I'll kill you right away."
It's not a threat, definitely not a threat.
This is Liu Qiu protecting his own rights and interests.
But Simeone didn't seem to be afraid of death, he jumped directly from the turf, "Fuck you rookie! When is it your turn to take care of me? Fuck you family! Fuck you Is this how you, a rookie, pay respects to your seniors? Damn, come on, little bastard, I want to see how arrogant you are! You think Riverbed is owned by your family, you are just a rookie! Mom- Forced!!"
On the football field, the most disgraceful scene happened.
Liu Qiu can accept fair competition with Simeone, but Simeone cannot.
So Simeone decided to retaliate, but Simeone didn't expect that this rookie would be so arrogant.
Liu Qiu rushed to Simeone in the first instant, and punched him hard in the face, causing him to lose two front teeth immediately!
At this time, the teammates realized that the two of them were choking each other, and hurriedly surrounded them and pulled them apart.
And the head coach Carlos Babinton... his head is getting bigger now!
