Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 39 A female junior holds a gold brick?

Li Qing and Tong Shenbing took a train to Liverpool together the next morning. Then they parted ways at the train station. One went to Zhao Qiangu's house to stay until the start of school, while Li Qing returned to his home alone.

Tong Shenbing stared at Li Qing's lonely back through the taxi window, and suddenly felt a sense of distress in her heart. Li Qing had lost his parents since he was a child, and he was alone and helpless abroad. How did he get here all these years?
If it were him, he would definitely collapse.

"What was I thinking?"

As the taxi entered the main road, Tong Shenbing couldn't help but pat her smooth and white forehead and whispered: "He is three years younger than me!"

But soon another voice appeared in her heart: "Female junior, hold the gold brick."

……

Before the Kirkby Youth Academy reopened, Li Qing maintained training at the training ground for at least ten hours a day, which was two and a half hours in real time.

other time?

Of course, he keeps in touch with Tong Shenbing and Zhao Qiangu, and occasionally uses his status as a U18 player to take them to watch Liverpool's Premier League games.

The relationship between the three of them is growing day by day, but for some reason Li Qing feels that Zhao Qiangu is not as close to him as before, and feels a little distant.

Happy times often pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, January 2017, 1 is here. This is the day when Kirkby Youth Training Academy reopens. Li Qing’s time is gradually focused on the training base, preparing for the U5 stage of Merseyside. County Derby and FA Cup 18/1 final.

Since both games were away games, the first day back to the team was based on international practice. Compared with professional players, the body measurements of youth team players are simpler, that is, height, weight, body fat percentage and muscle ratio.

"Height 176cm, weight 65.5kg, body fat percentage 13.3%, muscle ratio 41.6%, not bad."

Li Qing took the physical test form handed over by assistant coach Mike Garrity and muttered: "Isn't this height growing too slow? It's been almost two months since he traveled through time, and he's not even 1.8 meters."

Of course, I am just complaining to myself. I have grown seven centimeters in two months, which is already very good.

It would be strange if a person suddenly grew more than ten centimeters in two months...

There is still more than a month left until the age of sixteen, and usually you can still grow for two to three years. By then, you will definitely be 1.8 meters tall. However, when athletes reach a certain age, they must strengthen strength training in order to build muscle, which will lead to a faster growth rate in height. Decline, but there is no problem growing to 1.8 meters.

The end of the body was targeted physical recovery training. Since most players lacked self-discipline and had a good Christmas, their bodies couldn't keep up with the rhythm and complained endlessly. Only Li Qing could cope with it as he pleased.

Head coach Neil Critchley nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "It seems that Li has been maintaining training status during this period." Otherwise, how could he be in such good condition?
Gerrard was very pleased to be standing next to Neil Critchley as Neil Critchley's new assistant: "It was indeed the right choice for me to promise you to personally teach him how to handle long balls, but..."

At this point, he paused. Neil Critchley might have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he couldn't help but ask: "What?"

"I just don't know how long Lee can stay with the U18s." Gerrard looked to the southwest, where is the Melwood training base, where Liverpool's first team trains: "Sadio is going to participate in the African Cup. The team is short of wingers, and based on Li’s current ability, he can definitely get a substitute position in the first team.”

"But...Li will only turn sixteen next month."

Neil Critchley was shocked.

Gerrard shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much. The current record for the youngest player to appear in the Premier League was set by Fulham player Matthew Briggs in the 2006-2007 season, when he was only 16 years and 68 days old.

Although the player who sets the youngest appearance record may not necessarily succeed in the future, many geniuses show their talents to the world at a young age!

Li Qing is about to turn sixteen, why not?

In his eyes, Li Qing is much better than those so-called geniuses!
According to the arrangement of the club's senior management in the next few days, he will have dinner with Klopp. Do you want to recommend Li Qing then?
At this moment, Li Qing received a pass from his teammate on the right side of the offense, immediately attracting two or three defensive players.

There were one or two defensive players nearby ready to cover up the defense. Everyone thought Li Qing was going to break through, but unexpectedly he made a long pass with his left foot. The football accurately found the full-back who was running in at high speed from the far end. The latter kept the ball. The ball was passed horizontally to the center of the penalty area, and Brewster actively followed up and kicked the ball into the goal...

Seeing this, Gerard has made up his mind that he will fully recommend Li Qing when the time comes!

Even if he can't play as a winger, he can still serve as a central midfielder responsible for transferring long passes.

However, this position requires a certain amount of defensive ability. Li Qing is generally not assigned heavy defensive tasks, so most of his defense is just for show, so that he has better physical fitness to seize counterattack opportunities.

Headache……

With the development of modern football, players who can only attack have gradually lost their place in the world trend. Now, in addition to offense, offensive players also need to defend, because no mistakes can be made in strong dialogues. In order to avoid defensive problems, coaches often Ten players are required to defend together. In the same way, in addition to defending, defensive players also need to attack.

Nowadays, even goalkeepers are becoming more and more demanding. In addition to being able to keep goalkeepers, they must also be able to pass the ball.

How about talking to Li Qing in private and practicing defense again?
