Chapter 327 La Liga goes to war
Since this transfer took a long time, it is not time for Xu Qi and his teammates to work together.
However, Xu Qi is naturally a guy with very strong adaptability, and these problems cannot defeat him.
It's a dream camp.
Now some of Xu Qi's training is arranged as Valencia players. Although this cannot help teammates understand Xu Qi's abilities faster, it can help Xu Qi adapt to some of the ways of teammates faster.
He is not someone who needs others to accommodate. He will try his best to accommodate others. He hopes that he can become a player who can perform perfectly no matter what kind of team he goes to.
"Pass! Quick!" Ghost shouted outside the training camp.
Xu Qi was staring and focused. When he came to Spain, he needed to handle the ball more reasonably and pass and catch the ball faster.
This is not Ukraine where rough guys run everywhere. Although the players of the Donetsk Miners are very skilled, the players in the Ukrainian Super League are definitely very skilled.
However, Spain can be regarded as the top European league with the highest technical level. Compared with the Premier League, Serie A and Bundesliga, their biggest advantage is that the teams here have excellent skills. Therefore, as a player who is a player in the Ukrainian league, Xu Qi must adapt to these things when he comes here.
"Look at people! Look at the teammates around you first, don't lower your head, look up to see your teammates, and find a support point!" In order to make Xu Qi adapt to the La Liga style as soon as possible, Ghost reminds Xu Qi all the time how to deal with the ball.
When he was in the Donetsk Miners, Xu Qi could park the ball at his feet and then do the bicycle movements at will, and his opponent could not grab the ball under his feet.
But in Spain, Xu Qi needs to send the ball out in a faster time, and don't stick too much to the ball under his feet.
These are also what Unai Emery asked. Valencia is a strong team in La Liga and often has to attack and play rather than defensive tactics.
Even if the opponent is a top-notch team like Barcelona and Real Madrid, Valencia has the opportunity to attack with great success, so Xu Qi also needs good pass-through and cooperation skills in the team.
During this period, Xu Qi's training focus has been on adapting to the tactical system of Valencia.
At the same time, there is also language. Xu Qi also works very hard to learn Spanish, hoping that he can integrate into this team more.
He hopes to show his abilities in his first round, his debut.
In fact, at the same time as Xu Qi arrived, Valencia also signed a forward player from Getafe, Soldado, and signed players such as Feiguli for free.
This season, their strength seems to have declined, but in fact it may not be.
In an interview with the media, Unai Emery praised Xu Qi, who had already practiced with the team for several games.
He believes that Xu Qi is fully capable of resisting the banner of Villa and David Silva on the offensive end after leaving.
"He will become an excellent player, but the core of the team will be Mata. Although he has adapted well, he has not fully integrated into this team. Everything needs to be seen until the game begins."
Before the season, the team also played several warm-up matches, but although Xu Qi played in the warm-up match, he did not show himself more, but instead made more communication with his teammates to actively create opportunities for his teammates.
Therefore, he did not score goals or other performance in these two or three warm-up matches.
This also made some media concerned about Valencia start to worry whether Xu Qi could lose such a high transfer fee and salary after all, this is a guy who came from the Ukrainian league.
Of course, given that some media expressed concern about Xu Qi's ability, some people took the initiative to stand up and "speak for Xu Qi", but this helping angle is not from a technical level, but from the commercial interests behind Xu Qi.
They believe that Xu Qi has a huge Asian market behind it, especially the Chinese market with increasingly strong capital. Xu Qi can bring a lot of commercial sponsorship to the team in Valencia, which will help the team better get rid of the current financial crisis.
In fact, the Valencia team recently signed a sponsorship contract with a domestic photovoltaic industry group in China, which shows that the value of Xu Qi's existence is not just at the technical level.
Also, Nike also proposed to become a jersey sponsor of Valencia, but Valencia's jersey sponsor is Kappa, and the contract has been expired for a long time, so they did not sign a contract with Nike.
These are all things Xu Qi brings.
However, Xu Qi is always unwilling to agree with such views. He does not want himself to be a shop assistant. He wants to help Valencia from a technical level.
So Xu Qi's training was also very hard during this period.
Unai Emery also talked with Xu Qi several times. As the team's head coach, signing Xu Qi was originally his request. After seeing Xu Qi's performance in the Donetsk Miners team, he knew that Xu Qi would definitely become a top player in the future.
Even, he is now close to the top.
...
August 29.
The first round of La Liga league finally started.
Valencia's first away game is heading to Malaga City in Andalucia, southern Spain.
The opponent is Malaga.
La Lossalda Stadium.
The two teams started, and Xu Qi was included in the 18-man roster, but did not enter the starting lineup.
This is also within expectations of many people.
The team's starting lineup is basically not a new player in this game, only Aduris is considered a new player. In this game, Aduris will serve as the team's center.
The shadow front behind him is Mata.
The two sides are veterans Joaquin and Vicente, and Banéga and Alberda in the middle.
On the defense line, Mathieu, Miguel, R. Costa and Navarro are in turn.
Malaga is not very strong, but their style of play is very tough. Although this game is just the first game of the league, the two teams played a very intense process.
Just six minutes into the game, Malaga Manu received a yellow card for a foul on Joaquin.
Then, Sunderland Silva violated Mata and received a yellow card again.
Similarly, in the next few minutes, Valencia's two major midfielders Banega and Alberda also received yellow cards.
Such a card-eating rate is enough to show how much both sides attach to this game.
However, Valencia's strength is still the best. The team's new aid Arduris scored a header in the 20 minutes of the game, setting a first record for Valencia.
The away game is 1-0, and it seems that the team is not far from a good start.
The Valencia team, who lost Villa and Silva, still has very considerable attack power.
Chapter completed!
