Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 28 A little famous
Li Qing scored four goals in the U18 league away to Stoke City, which not only made him more famous in Merseyside, but also made him the focus of the Youth Super League this week.

With the advancement of science and technology, the speed of news dissemination is astonishing, but even under such circumstances, no one has heard of a talented young man named Li Qing.

what does this mean?
A genius emerges from nowhere!
Although it is possible that Li Qing just broke out suddenly, who cares about the media?
Traffic equals money. You can exaggerate as much as you want. Who cares whether you will become a talent in the future?
Of course, conscientious media are not among this group.

In less than half a day, the media investigated detailed information about Li Qing - he immigrated to Liverpool with his parents as a child, entered Kirkby Youth Academy at the age of six, and quickly became a talented player of his age group. The strange thing is that he His outstanding performance came to an abrupt end at the age of eleven.

It is not difficult to know the details from genius to mediocrity. Many people in Kirkby Youth Academy and Lanyi Middle School know what happened to Li Qing. The blow of losing his parents when he was young is enough to destroy a genius, so these media are very curious. , why Li Qing became a genius again after being mediocre, and in a way that stood out from the crowd.

An insider at Kirkby Youth Training Academy who did not want to be named talked about this on INS, saying that Li Qing bravely stepped out of the trough of his personal life to welcome a new life.

As a result, Li Qing's sudden emergence became a very inspiring story...

As the protagonist, Li Qing had no idea that his fame had completely transformed in just two games, from a minor celebrity in Merseyside to a minor celebrity throughout England.

Liverpool's largest local media "Echo" also introduced Li Qing in detail in the youth training column. Local Liverpool fans are increasingly appreciating Li Qing and hope that he can become a KOP in the future like Owen, Gerrard and Carragher. proud.

There have been a lot of reports about Li Qing from the outside world during this period. The senior management of Kirkby Youth Training Academy knew that the temptation outside was very great, and it was not a good thing to let Li Qing come into contact with the media too early. Therefore, he chose to refuse the interview requests from many media. At the same time, U18 head coach Neil Critchley was also asked to inform Li Qing of the dangers of premature contact with the media.

The world has never lacked talent. There are countless cases in world football where talented players were praised to the heavens by the media and fans, but reality slapped them loudly.

But today is different from previous years. The Internet has brought people all over the world closer, which means that self-discipline still depends on yourself.

In this regard, Li Qing has a good self-awareness and has not lost himself because of the praise from the media. On the contrary, he is more demanding on himself. In addition to coming to the training ground in advance to train, he also takes the initiative to stay and practice after the training.

Liverpool fans saw this and loved Li Qing even more.

Of course, Li Qing is still only a member of the U18, and his attention is always limited, otherwise...the media will come one after another...

Closer to home, Liverpool U18’s last league game in 2016 was against Derby County U18 at home. The overall strength of Derby County U18 is about the same as the previous encounters between Middlesbrough U18 and Stoke City U18. In other words, whoever is in better condition has a higher chance of winning the game, but the overall strength of Liverpool U18 is higher. Out of the above three teams.

However, Liverpool U18, who have a strength advantage, still have to show some real skills to win the game, otherwise it will not be so easy to win the game.

The Derby County U18 coaching staff clearly put in a lot of effort before the game and made targeted arrangements for Li Qing's breaking point, so that Li Qing had a hard time playing at the beginning of the game.

However, it is just a bit difficult, not helpless.

Li Qing's current physical strength value reaches 60, and his physical fitness is mid-to-high-end at the U18 youth team level, only slightly worse than the tall and strong central defender. What really affects Li Qing's performance is the relatively complete defensive system and extreme performance of Derby County U18. High tactical literacy.

Facing Liverpool, which has been in a hot state recently, the guest Derby County U18 had a correct attitude and chose to defend and counterattack. To be precise, they strictly defended and did not even attack in the first minutes.

Li Qing, who did not use the five-star skill card, is not very sophisticated in his skills, but the average of skills, dribbling and ball control are in the 18s, which is not weak. It is just that the half-time is so big, and the Derby County U defensive system is targeted, so As a result, Li Qing had little chance, but as time passed, the seemingly solid defense line became shaky under Li Qing's continuous attempts to break through.

Because...Li Qing has discovered the loopholes in Derby County's U18 defensive system that are gradually exposed!

Everyone thinks that his technical characteristics are fast speed and strong breakthrough. In fact, this is not the case. The talent he acquired before has given him a qualitative leap in vision and creativity. Derby County U18 defensive players fell into inertial thinking and thought that Liverpool U18's offensive focus will still be on Li Qing.

In fact, the tactics developed by Neil Critchley did exactly that.

In the 24th minute, Li Qing received the football but did not break through. He moved the football to the center with the outside of his left foot, raised his left foot, and completed the transfer with his long pass that had not yet reached the passing line.

Neil Critchley's eyes lit up as he stood on the coaching bench. Although Li Qing's long pass was not particularly accurate, it did not affect the effect. Glennon, who was running forward along the left sideline, received the pass and had Enough time to observe.

In this case, the Derby County U18 defensive players suddenly panicked when they saw that their right defense was empty.
