If you ask which team is most similar to Qatar today, it has to be Spain around 2010.

When the ‘Asbeir Plan’ began to take shape, it was when Spanish football was in full swing. At that time, the technical director of the Asbeir Youth Academy was Felix Sanchez from Spain.

Since then, Qatar Football Youth Training has unswervingly embarked on the road to Spain.

More than ten years have passed, and Sanchez has led from the first wave of children, u15, u17, u21, to the current head coach of the national team. The style of the Spanish national team has already changed, but Qatar has always adhered to the tradition and is more Spanish than Spain.

Sanchez had several short-lived mediocre coaching experiences in La Liga and La Liga in his early days. If he is still somewhat famous, his fame comes more from the good results he achieved after coaching the Qatar National Youth Team.

But since he was a person of that era, Sanchez must be a staunch supporter of the Spanish technical school in southern Europe. He and his team instilled this style into the Asbel youth training center.

A piece of white paper is easy to draw on, and the football you picked up from a baby can be transferred to Spain to look real after more than ten years.

During the four-year peak period from 2008 to 2012, the Spanish national team made the spectators as drunk as dogs with their smooth passing and cutting, but in essence their tactics were defensive counterattacks masked by pure technical flow.

Of course, it was definitely not a show of force. Spain controlled the ball at its feet and did not give its opponents a chance to attack. Through its superb ball control ability in the midfield and backcourt, coupled with a few awesome wingers, it defeated all opponents.

In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Spain only conceded two goals during the entire tournament. Especially after entering the knockout rounds, they did not concede a single goal and scored one goal in every game. They could easily have conceded more goals than the Chinese team, which flooded the country with goals.

Too much stuff to be ashamed of.

In this way, it is very easy to understand why Qatar has been able to win the Asian Cup so far, because they are Spain in Asia.

·

Sanchez is not yet a famous coach, so the most eye-catching person on the Qatar coaching bench is his temporary assistant coach, former Barcelona captain Xavi.

After winning the Triple Crown in 2015, Xavi left Barcelona and came to Qatar to join Al Sadd Club. It has been more than three years.

You can tell by his appearance that Xavi will definitely become a coach after he retires. With that paralyzed face, not being a coach would be a waste of talent. In fact, after coming to Qatar, Xavi spent his free time playing football in Asbaier youth training.

In the academy, he learned how to be a coach with Sanchez.

It is true that Qatar is a country, but its area is just a city, which is slightly larger than half of BJ. So don’t misunderstand that Harvey plays football in Guangzhou in the morning and flies to Harbin for school in the afternoon. In fact, it is the distance between the urban area and the suburbs.

Over the past few years, Xavi and Sanchez have had such a good relationship that they were able to hold the Canton Fair. After Sanchez took over as coach of the national team the year before last, Xavi would adhere to the principle of talking less and watching more when he was free, and sat next to him as a guest assistant. This time in Asia

The excitement of the cup is no exception.

After finishing this season of Cardiff in May, Xavi, who is already 39 years old, has really retired, and has already agreed that he will directly take up the coach of Al Sadd by then. The transformation of his life is not gorgeous, but it is smooth.

.

.

"Hi Harvey, long time no see."

"Hi, Big Devil."

The two old teammates greeted each other with a firm hug.

Both Zhuoyang and Xavi have many nicknames, but neither of them has a fixed and long-term one. "Big Devil" is the title that Zhuoyang gave to him when he was in La Liga, especially Barcelona. It has not been called so much in recent years. At this time, Haha

Wei's name is more like nostalgia and showing intimacy.

Harvey has nicknames such as "Bean", "Facial Paralysis Emperor", "Curly Hair", "Old Pinch", etc., but they are not as popular as Little White, Little Bu, Xiaojie, and not many people call him, so Zhuo Yang directly calls him

.

‘Xavi’ is his nickname. Xavi’s real name is Javier Hernandez Creus, so Zhuo Yang is not called him by birth.

In the past, the relationship between Zhuoyang and Xavi in ​​Barcelona was average. There were no conflicts, but they were not as far apart as the Sakura House. The main reason was that the two people's personalities were not in sync. Xavi was not used to Zhuoyang's self-promotion and did not like his attitude towards him.

The dull atmosphere in the locker room has changed.

In particular, the beating of Rafael Marcos subverted people like Xavi's understanding of traditional locker room culture. In other words, Zhuoyang crossed the line and seriously violated something inherent in Barcelona.

So Xavi kept a distance from Zhuo Yang during those two years. Later, Zhuo Yang switched to Real Madrid, and he was actually very relieved.

Zhuo Yang knew these subtle things in his heart, and Harvey knew that he knew them in his heart, but after all, there had never been any conflicts, and after so many years, there was no reason to be at odds with each other, unless they were not two men.

When meeting an old friend in a foreign country, sometimes all that is left is intimacy.

"When will you go back to coach Barcelona?"

"Are you coming back? I'll come back immediately if you do. Let me have the experience of coaching a big devil."

"Hahaha~~"

The two of them chatted without saying a word. Zhuoyang didn't notice Sanchez, who stretched out his hand for a long time next to Harvey and his smile was a little stiff. Zhuoyang didn't know Sanchez, and he didn't realize it at all in the passage with people coming and going.

People were waiting to say hello to him.

Harvey is a careful person. He noticed Sanchez's embarrassment and hurriedly introduced him to Zhuoyang, so Zhuoyang promptly said, "I've seen you for a long time, the weather today is hahaha" to resolve his carelessness.

Moez Ali, who is not yet 23 years old, sees all this and finds it very interesting.

Ali is a native of Sudan. He was trafficked at the age of 8 and entered the Asbair Youth Academy in Qatar. Now he is the head boy of Qatar.

In the top 12 of the Asian preliminaries for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Qatar and the Chinese team were divided into Group A. In June 2017, Qatar, which had lost its hope of qualifying after losing consecutive games, fired Uruguay coach Fossati, and Sanchez took over and led the team.

Played the last two rounds.

Once an emperor and a courtier, after taking office, Sanchez immediately removed old naturalized players such as Sebastian Quintana, Rodrigo Tabata, Luis Ceara and other old players from the original team, and replaced Moez

·Ali, Afef and other Asbair cronies were promoted to the national team.

In the last round of the top 12, the Chinese team in Group A played against Qatar. The Chinese team won 3:1 in the away game. Ali started and played the entire game, but Zhuoyang did not play that time and did not go to Qatar at all.

Ali is the Villa of Qatar. He regards Zhuoyang as his idol, but this does not hinder Burning's ambition to surpass Zhuoyang in the number of goals.

In the predicted ranking of top scorers before the game, Zhuo Yang was undoubtedly at the top of the list. Son Heung-min, Osako Yuya, Azmoun, Mabkhout, and Ali were not even ranked in the top five.

But at the end of the group stage, Ali scored an astonishing 7 goals, while Zhuo Yang only scored 3. To say that Ali had no idea at that time, unless he was not a man.

In previous years, 7 goals were guaranteed to win the Golden Boot. Eight years ago, Zhuo Yang only had 7 goals. Four years ago, Mabkhout, who was the top scorer, only had 5 goals.

With Zhuoyang out and about, Ali didn't think 7 goals would be enough this year, but 10 would be enough, right? It shouldn't be too difficult to score 3 more goals.

But immediately after the 1/8 China-Korea battle, Zhuoyang scored six goals, which made Ali fall into disbelief. Today, facing his idol, Zhuoyang has scored 16 goals, which exceeds the World Cup's "15-goal miracle". Ali can only

I sighed: God is God, the Lord of needles is supreme, and God is supreme.

Ali did not score again in 1/8 and 1/4. It was only in the 4-0 victory over the United Arab Emirates in the semi-finals that he scored a new goal, raising the number of goals to 8.

Under Zhuoyang and Ali, there are the departing figures of Osako Yuya, Azmoun and Mabkhout who scored 4 goals.

In today's game, Ali has absolutely no intention of overtaking Zhuo Yang in terms of goals scored. He believes in God but knows very well that he is not a god. Ali just wants to score goals, show his presence in front of his idol, and then exchange jerseys.

That's all. Children who come from a poor background are down-to-earth and never forget their roots.

Seeing that the greeting between Zhuoyang and his head coach Sanchez was about to end, Ali saw the opportunity and leaned forward to extend his hand.

"Mr. Zhuo Yang..."

Before the baby was born, the referee Irmatov and his team came first, so they shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.

Finally, when it came to an end, Ali saw the opportunity and stepped forward again to extend his hand.

"Mr. Zhuo Yang..."

Unexpectedly, when Irmatov said, "Let's go," Zhuo Yang turned his back and directly ordered: "Let's go -"

"promise!"
