Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 75 Being too young is also a sin

Liverpool are ten points away from Chelsea and are currently fourth in the league, with sixteen games remaining in the league and anything can happen.

It may be difficult to reverse Chelsea's first place, but it is still possible to surpass Arsenal and Tottenham and rank second in the league.

If luck and luck are good enough, why can't we win the first league championship since the establishment of the Premier League?

However, Chelsea is in good form, and Liverpool only has one FA Cup fourth round match to watch. Therefore, a large number of media are optimistic that Chelsea will score three points at Anfield as a guest. Even for insurance, at least one point will be scored.

Liverpool coach Klopp and the players do not agree with the views of most media. They believe that everything depends on man-made performance. As long as they play the game they want at home, then... victory will be a matter of course.

Li Qing also agreed with his teammates, but... he needed the support of head coach Klopp.

"aoaoaooooooo——"

When the Liverpool players came to the stadium from the tunnel, the Liverpool fans who had been waiting for a long time made a huge roar like a mountain and a tsunami, creating a fanatical home atmosphere.

The Liverpool players who played faced the love of the home fans. They all raised their hands in the air while running and thanked the fans with applause.

When Li Qing looked around, he saw a poster of himself in the main stand, and there were several people waving next to him, and he became extremely excited.

So, he jogged over and prepared to thank the fans for their support.

He only ran two steps before he smiled bitterly, because the supporters were acquaintances, his good friend Tom from the Blue Middle School and Curtis Jones, his good friend from the U16 echelon.

Of course, the support of friends is also support. I responded enthusiastically to the wave of Tom and Curtis Jones, and then took a photo with them and nearby fans to post on Instagram.

There was a big fat middle-aged fan waving his fist and shouting with a loud voice: "Lee, if you have the chance, you must overthrow the damn Chelsea. The championship belongs to us!"

Li Qing raised his right hand, high-fived the enthusiastic fan, and said with a smile: "As long as I have the chance, I will."

The Liverpool team's warm-up lasted for more than half an hour. There were still more than 20 minutes before the start of the game. Players from both sides were walking towards the tunnel one after another. Li Qing was consciously looking for something in the front row of the main stand.

Soon, he saw the beautiful Tong Shen Bing in the crowd. His trademark evil smile and wink made Tong Shen Bing roll her eyes charmingly.

The Liverpool players who returned to the locker room first took a shower and changed clothes, and then sat in front of their respective wardrobes to listen to coach Klopp explain the game tactics again to deepen their memory.

Although Li Qing did not enter the starting lineup, he had a hunch that he might come on as a substitute, so he listened very attentively.

With about seven or eight minutes left before the start of the game, Premier League staff knocked on the doors of the home and visiting team locker rooms respectively, reminding both sides to go to the player tunnel and wait.

Li Qing and Mane walked straight out of the tunnel side by side and headed to the home team's bench. As early as an hour before the game, the starting lineups of both sides have been known to the world. The home team Liverpool has a four-three-three formation at home. The goalkeeper is Mignolet, who has been in good training form recently, and the defenders are Milner, Lovren, Matip and Klein, midfielders Emre Can, Henderson and Wijnaldum, forwards Coutinho, Firmino and Lallana.

Chelsea arranged the usual three-four-three formation this season, with goalkeeper Courtois, defenders Azpilicueta, David Luiz and Cahill, midfielders Marcos Alonso and Matic. , Kante and Moses, forwards Hazard, Diego Costa and Willian.

Since the stadium passage is relatively narrow and cannot accommodate two teams entering the stadium at the same time, the order of entry is first guest before home. When the visiting team players entered the stadium, a huge wave of boos from Liverpool fans rang out from the auditorium, which was a tribute to the visiting team. Chelsea players.

When the Liverpool players entered the field, the boos were instantly replaced by cheers.

Li Qing, who was sitting on the bench, looked at the players lined up facing the main stand and was very envious. He thought to himself: "When can I start the game? Hey, being too young is also a sin!"

The broadcast screen switched one by one, from Liverpool head coach Klopp to the bench. When the broadcast screen showed Li Qing, Lux Sports commentator Zhan Jun's voice became louder: "Klopp brought a ten in this red-blue battle. A five-year-old child must be under tremendous pressure, but Li Qing proved his ability in the FA Cup. Maybe... he will become Klopp's surprise player again..."

Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said: "The Asian face that appeared on the broadcast screen is Li Qing, a Chinese player who has become popular in China these days. He has distinctive technical characteristics, fast speed, strong technical ability with his feet, and high accuracy in shooting in front of the goal. It can be described as a natural shooter, but...I wonder if Klopp will give this young player a chance to play..."

British Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said with a unique rhythm: "I don't know why, I kind of want to see Li come on as a substitute. This fifteen-year-old player has great skills. I hope Jurgen K. Lopp will give him enough opportunities to show his talent in the second half..."

With the commentators from major TV stations giving explanations one after another, the captains of both sides have already finished guessing sides with the referee Clattenburg, which also means that the most talked-about battle in the Premier League this round is about to begin.

"Beep~"

With Clattenberg's long whistle, the 2016rd round of the 2017rd round of the 23- Premier League season officially began.

Liverpool, who had the advantage of kicking off, chose to pass the ball backwards safely, and then made a routine long pass from the central defender to the right forward Lallana, but Marcos Alonso obviously judged more accurately and pushed the ball out of the sideline.

The two sides entered the game at a very fast pace. As time went by, the players moved more and more vigorously. There was no harmonious relationship like before the game started. People and horses appeared continuously, and there was even a flying tackle every few minutes.

Of course, this is a defensive move against football.

Due to the fast pace of the game, more than twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

In the 24th minute, Hazard's breakthrough caused Lallana to foul, winning Chelsea a well-positioned free kick.

Li Qing raised his brows, feeling a little uneasy and thought to himself, "Is he about to lose the ball?"

I don’t know if his premonition was particularly accurate. David Luiz’s free kick was like a cannonball. Before goalkeeper Mignolet was fully prepared, he got into the net and helped visiting Chelsea open the scoring.

"Holy shit, do you want to be so accurate?"
