Chapter 126: Hua Jin treats Li Chuanqi differently
Manuel Pellegrini was born in Santiago. Since 1987, Pellegrini switched careers and became a coach.
The first team he coached was his parent club, Universidad de Chile, but after a disappointing performance, he left Chile's largest football club.
After that, he went to Palestino, O'Higgins and other teams. Later, his successful experience in San Lorenzo in Argentina made him famous.
After his success in Argentina, the Chilean landed in Europe to coach the "Yellow Submarine" Villarreal.
During the five years he coached Villarreal, he helped this small town with a population of only 51,000 open up a path to the championship, making him a legend in La Liga coaching.
Under the leadership of the Chilean, the "Yellow Submarine" reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League on a low budget and achieved impressive results in the national derby.
"Yellow Submarine" won second place in La Liga, earning Pellegrini a reputation as an excellent coach.
Afterwards, Real Madrid took a liking to the Chilean and hired him as coach in June 2009.
Although he only coached for one season, Pellegrini still led the team to achieve an excellent result of 96 points in the league, losing to Barcelona, the leader of the league, by only three points.
Real Madrid is a team with nine Champions League titles, and the team has the highest winning rate in the season coached by the Chilean.
With his excellent coaching performance, major teams competed for the Chilean engineer, and he finally chose to coach Malaga and continue to stay in La Liga.
Last season he led Malaga to fourth place in the league and qualified for the Champions League play-offs.
This is a coach with extremely rich coaching experience.
…
Soon after, several other new players came to Pellegrini's office.
After getting to know each other, they didn't chat for long before Pellegrini took them to the training ground to meet everyone.
More than 20 players were chatting in small groups in twos and threes. Joaquin, who had brown hair, caught Li Chuanqi's attention.
If Ruud van Nistelrooy had not retired, the biggest player on this team would be the Dutch forward known as the "King of the Small Zone".
Now, the most famous and senior person is undoubtedly Joaquín.
Joaquín was born in Porto Santa Maria, Spain on July 21, 1981. He is a professional football player who serves as a winger and midfielder.
In the 2001-02 season, he represented Betis in La Liga for the first time.
Soon, his sharp breakthroughs and elegant passing from the wing attracted the attention of national team coach Camacho.
As a result, his name also appeared on the Spanish roster for the World Cup in Korea and Japan.
People remember him mostly because in the knockout round with South Korea, Joaquin's assist to Morientes was called out of bounds, and he himself also missed the penalty kick in the subsequent penalty shootout.
It is precisely because of this that Joaquin's handsome appearance has a touch of melancholy.
After returning to La Liga from the World Cup, Real Betis quickly signed a new contract with Joaquin until 2010, with a breakup clause of 60 million euros and an annual salary one euro higher than Denilson.
Despite this, giant teams such as Real Madrid, Chelsea and Juventus have sent invitations to Hua Jin many times.
The 2004-05 season was a mature year for Joaquin.
His 13 assists ranked second in La Liga's assist list, only behind Riquelme.
He also successfully helped Betis finish fourth in the league and enter the Champions League.
However, Betis did not have enough personnel reserves. Not only was they eliminated from the Champions League, they also fell into the relegation zone in the league.
In Aragones' national team, Joaquin's status has also been challenged by players such as Luis Garcia.
Aragones believes that Joaquin's style of play is soft and lacks the will to fight in key matches.
In the World Cup playoff against Slovakia, Joaquin was left out of the squad for the first time, and his replacement, Luis Garcia, completed a hat-trick.
Although he is now far away from the Spanish national team, Joaquin still has considerable influence in Spanish football.
Pellegrini signaled everyone to quiet down and introduced the team's newcomers one by one.
Several newcomers shook hands and hugged the old players one by one.
Then Pellegrini began to lecture: "The new season is coming. We have sent away Ruud van Nistelrooy, sent away Cazorla, and sent away many players. At the same time, we have also welcomed new people!
A new Málaga team has reappeared in front of people, and we have the ardent hopes of the fans, so we must gather in advance to prepare for the new season.
We did well last season, finishing fourth in the league and qualifying for the Champions League play-offs.
The league, Copa del Rey, and Champions League, we will fight on three fronts in the new season, which will pose new challenges to us.
Men are not afraid of challenges!
In order to achieve good results in the new season, I hope everyone will devote themselves to training and face each competition in good condition!"
After the Chilean engineer finished his brief speech, the team began warm-up exercises.
Malaga's new journey has begun.
Because it was the first training session, the main purpose was to allow the players to recover, so Pellegrini did not arrange a large amount of exercise and started the game after warming up.
During the warm-up, Li Chuanqi was surprised when Joaquin took the initiative to approach him.
At his peak, this senior was the best right winger in Spain.
And Li Chuanqi's best position happens to be the right winger.
The two chatted passionately, and Joaquin was very interested in Santa Malaga, a team that has repeatedly achieved miracles.
Li Chuanqi gave him a brief introduction to the situation in Santa Malaga.
Joaquin turned his attention to Li Chuanqi: "I heard that you have been training at the training base all summer?"
Li Chuanqi nodded.
Joaquin gave him a thumbs up: "Success always belongs to those who are prepared. I believe you will succeed."
Li Chuanqi responded: "I left the youth training camp at the most important stage, so I want to get back this lost time."
Joaquin disagreed with his view, shook his head and said: "Youth training camp is indeed the only way for most players to become professional players, but some players do not have the experience of youth training camp.
I know that many African players have no experience in youth training camps.
There are huge advantages in the youth training camp, but the youth training camp also partially restricts the player's personality."
Li Chuanqi looked at him in surprise. Is there any other way to say this?
"What ball should be played and what should be done in which position? The youth training camp is like a factory, cultivating semi-professional players in batches.
If someone likes you, you can start a career; if no one likes you, you can only leave.
Players who have not experienced youth training are indeed inferior in basic skills and other aspects, which is also the main obstacle to their further development.
But their creativity is generally good and they often handle the ball unexpectedly.
This is their strength.
If the basic skills are solved, their upper limit will not be much different from others.
Of course, if you miss the best time, it will be very difficult to improve your basic skills.
At least I haven't seen it yet."
He looked at Li Chuanqi and said: "But you are different. I have seen your performance in the King's Cup. Your basic skills are not worse than those in the youth training camp, or even better than them.
So their shortcomings do not exist with you, and coupled with your creativity, I think your career will reach a very high level."
