Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 15: Bringing the fat man here

The England U15-U16 North League match between Liverpool and Newcastle ended in a 10:1 draw. Li Qing contributed seven goals and two assists, which means... Li Qing dominated this game, which should have been between equals. Contest.

Echelon coach Tom Cushaw's mood became a little complicated, but U18 head coach Neil Critchley and youth training director Inglethorpe were very happy.

Although Li Qing is only fifteen years old, his ability is significantly higher than that of his peers. If he continues to perform well at the U18 level, he is very likely to be promoted by first-team head coach Jurgen Klopp. , compete in the Premier League!

Inglethorpe walked up to Tom Cushaw and patted him on the shoulder meaningfully: "Tom, you don't have to wait until the beginning of next year. Let Li report to the U18 next week."

“Can we wait until next year?”

Each echelon has its own tasks. The U15-U16 echelon that currently won the game is ranked sixth in the North District, which is still three places short of the guarantee made before the season. If Li Qing can stay with the team until the end of the year, he has Confidence leads to a winning streak.

How could Inglethorp, as head of youth training, not know what Tom Culshaw was thinking?

He smiled and said: "How about I give you full marks for this season's youth training points in advance?"

Tom Cushaw was ecstatic. Although he had long thought of Li Qing going up, people are selfish. Didn't he want to keep Li Qing for one more month just for the youth training points?

Now that Inglethorpe has taken the initiative to give full marks, is there any reason to disagree?

Besides, isn't the purpose of youth training to build blood for the first team?
So Tom Cushaw quickly nodded in agreement: "Of course!"

Immediately, he turned to his colleague Neil Critchley and said: "Congratulations, I think you can lead the team to win the FA Youth Cup this season, which has been absent for ten years, right?"

Neil Critchley was in a very good mood, but he did not say anything about death. Instead, he said in a low-key tone: "If Lee can perform well, the semi-finals will not be possible without winning the championship."

The last time Liverpool U18 won the FA Youth Cup dates back to the 2006-2007 season before the restructuring. If they can win the championship, it will show that Liverpool's youth training is not as good as the world-famous Manchester City duo and Chelsea's youth training. Don’t be left behind!

Not long after, Inglethorpe, Tom Culshaw and Neil Critchley walked towards Li Qing, who was holding a mobile phone and looking unhappy. He was curious, could it be that Li Qing was not satisfied with scoring seven goals in one game? And two assists?

He was very pleased when he thought of this. An ordinary player would definitely be ecstatic about this, but Li Qing was not satisfied. What does this mean?
It shows that Li Qing has a heart to become stronger!
Li Qing, who used his mobile phone to send text messages to Zhao Qiangu from time to time, saw the coach coming over from the corner of his eye. He quickly put away his mobile phone and asked Tom Cushaw curiously: "Mr. Coach, are you okay?"

Tom Cushaw looked at Inglethorpe, who smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Let me introduce myself first. I am Alex Inglethorpe, director of Kirkby College."

"Hello, Mr. Alex."

Li Qing shook his hand gently, calmly, and even showed a hint of curiosity: "Do you have a problem with me?" In fact, he was very excited, but he was forcibly suppressed.

At this time, the youth training director took the initiative to find him. Apart from being promoted to the U18 echelon, what else could he do?

At that moment, Inglethorp's evaluation of Li Qing was a little higher. He suddenly had a hunch that Li Qing's future achievements would definitely be limitless!

"congratulations!"

Inglethorpe patted Li Qing's right shoulder hard: "Let's report directly to the U18 next week."

Li Qing had no reaction, but his friend Curtis Jones became excited first and was ecstatic: "Li, you are going to participate in the FA Youth Cup! It's so cool! Our dream is about to come true!!"

Countless stars of tomorrow have shined through the FA Youth Cup, and then been promoted to the first team, and have become world-famous ever since.

Those who are far away are like Fowler, Carragher, Gerrard and Owen, and those who are close are like Sterling, Alexander-Arnold, Woodburn and Harry Wilson. This is what Curtis Jones yearns for.

Li Qing ignored his overly excited best friend Curtis Jones. He nodded gently to the Inglethorpe trio and said, "Okay, sir."

After Inglethorpe, Tom Culshaw and Neil Critchley left, Curtis Jones' excitement was still unabated. He excitedly put his arms around Li Qing's shoulders and asked curiously: "How do I feel?" Aren’t you happy that you were promoted to the U18 echelon?”

"What's so happy about something that's expected?"

Li Qing shrugged his shoulders.

After that, he took out his mobile phone and said in Chinese as he walked: "Classmate Qiangu, are you and your cousin too unkind? The bet you agreed on..."

Before he finished speaking, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of him. His feet stagnated, and he subconsciously looked up. He saw a middle-aged fat man looking at him with a smile. Out of instinct, he asked curiously: "Who are you?" ?”

Looking at the fat man in front of me, I felt familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before.

The fat man took out a business card from his suit pants and introduced himself: "Mino Raiola, professional football agent."

Li Qing's pupils shrank. No wonder this man looked familiar. It turned out to be a fat guy who was not popular in European football in recent years.
