Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 55 The whole team’s recognition

Li Qing was promoted from the youth team to the first team for the first time. There was no exclusive wardrobe in the first team locker room. He originally wanted to change into a training shirt outside the stadium, but the staff immediately came forward to ask.

After learning that Li Qing was a youth team player promoted by head coach Klopp, the logistics department staff took Li Qing into the first-team locker room and said that he had already informed the logistics department to do the relevant work when Klopp made the promotion. Prepare.

How could such logistical support prevent Li Qing from feeling a sense of belonging?
Although this is just a very small thing, details often determine success or failure in many things.

A certain Liverpool executive who formulated the latest rules did not expect that it was the subtle changes he made to the club that would give Liverpool a real superstar in the future!
Getting back to business, Li Qing put his bag in the closet without a name card, then quickly changed into his training shirt and headed to the natural grass field where the first team usually trained.

After about twenty minutes, his body was fully warmed up and stretched, and he began training with the ball.

At this time, some first-team players have already driven to the dedicated parking lot. On the way from the parking lot to the locker room, the players can see that there is already a person training with the ball on the training ground.

They were very curious. In their impression, no teammate would come to the training ground in advance, and some even wanted to step on it.

Woodburn and Arnold were Liverpool's U18 teammates last season. They were also called into the first team by Klopp this season and are still paying attention to the U18 game.

From the sluggishness at the beginning of the season to the explosion in the middle, it can be said that there is no failure.

Therefore, they know that the U18's outbreak does not come from the team's contribution, but from Li Qing's personal contribution of goals in five games.

It is rumored that he has been paid attention to by England U20 National Youth Head Coach Paul Simpson and U17 Head Coach Steve Cooper to prepare talents for this year's World Youth Championship and World Junior Championship.

Isn't the young man training with the ball in front of me Li Qing?

They had long heard that Li Qing was the first to come to Kirkby Youth Academy and the last to leave during the training week. Now it seems that it is indeed true.

When the team captain Henderson saw Woodburn and Arnold slowing down and looking towards the court, he asked: "Ben, Trent, what are you looking at?"

Woodburn pointed at Li Qing: "I think I already know who the new teammate the boss is talking about is."

"he is?"

Henderson remembered that Klopp said that new players would join this week. He always thought that the team would recruit a top forward from a big club, but he did not expect that it would be the young man in front of him.

"It's the popular U18 striker, Li."

"Oh?"

Henderson looked at Li Qing with a hint of surprise: "Could he be the same Li who scored four goals and assisted in helping Liverpool U18 defeat Manchester City U18 in the FA Youth Cup last weekend?"

Although Henderson is not from Liverpool's youth training, as captain, he occasionally pays attention to the club's youth training. Li Qing's name has been particularly popular in the past month or so.

"Yes, that's him."

Arnold nodded lightly.

Henderson raised his eyebrows. If he remembered correctly, Li Qing was not yet sixteen!
Is a teenager capable of joining the first team?
He was doubtful.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Klopp put his hands behind his back, stared at the less than twenty first-team players in front of him, and said loudly: "Before today's training starts, I want to introduce my new teammates to everyone here." , he looked at Li Qing: "His name is qing lee, a forward from the U18 youth team of Kirkby Youth Academy."

Klopp's introduction was very direct, simple and clear, and then he clapped his hands: "Are you ready for today's training?"

"Ready!"

Every Liverpool player roared in unison, welcoming today's training with a full spirit.

Li Qing, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment. This was very different from the training atmosphere he had in the youth team, so he did not react.

"very good."

Klopp's sharp eyes scanned the faces of each player, and he was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

His mood was still high: "I declare...today's training has officially begun."

After that, he looked at Woodburn and Arnold and changed the subject: "Ben, Alexander, Li is from U18. You two should communicate with Li more often to help him integrate into the first team as soon as possible. Are there any problems?"

"No problem, sir."

Woodburn and Arnold said in unison.

The team began warm-up training, and Arnold and Woodburn ran to Li Qing at the same time and introduced themselves.

The three young men all came from the Kirkby Youth Academy, and they had something in common, and soon they became friends who talked about everything.

Klopp, who was standing on the coaching bench, saw this with satisfaction in his heart. He still remembered the youthful storm he had when coaching Dortmund. When he came to Liverpool, he still wanted to repeat it. Woodburn and Alexander-Arnold were a little immature. If they wanted to complete This wish also requires Li Qing to grow up as soon as possible.

By then Woodburn, Arnold and Li Qing will occupy the three main positions of the Red Army, and the red whirlwind will sweep across Europe!
The script has been written in Klopp's mind, but it is unknown whether the three of them have grown up according to his ideas.

After an hour of warm-up and stretching, regular training officially began, and the first-team players who originally had some doubts about Li Qing's strength became serious.

Especially in terms of speed, Li Qing shocked many defensive players in the team.

Center defender Lovren couldn't help but exclaimed: "Even Sadio can't run as fast as Li? Are you really under 16?"

Except for the incredible speed, his long passing, foot skills and scoring ability are not like those of a minor.

Of course, Li Qing's real foot skills have not yet reached a certain level. The reason why he showed amazing foot skills in front of his teammates was entirely because he used the [Five-Star Skill Card] in order to gain recognition from his teammates.

Li Qing's ability has been recognized by most of the players in the team, and Klopp is very satisfied. Originally, he wanted Li Qing to experience the atmosphere of the Premier League, and did not really want him to represent the first team, but Li Qing has been unanimously praised by his teammates. , basically means that he has the ability to play in England's top competitions.

After all, the training matches were all about going all out and not giving up at all.

After performing well under such circumstances, is there any reason not to be optimistic about the future of the professional league?
