Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 96 Sixteenth Birthday
Liverpool's 3:1 home victory over Tottenham made Li Qing the center of attention again. It was his one shot and two passes that enabled Liverpool to turn defeat into victory.

Having defeated Wolves and Chelsea in succession before, it is easy to find that the ten goals Liverpool scored in three games were all related to Li Qing.

Two goals + three goals + one goal and two assists.

Six goals and two assists!
The remaining two goals seem to have nothing to do with Li Qing, but in fact, his excellent performance has won many offensive opportunities for his teammates. It is equivalent to saying that the three most beautiful games that Liverpool has played since entering 2017 were all caused by Li Qing.

The key is that Li Qing is not yet sixteen!

Such an outstanding performance can easily make him the focus of fans around the world.

Especially the sports media and fans. Many media and fans even hope that the Football Association can contact Li Qing to restore his nationality and then represent the men's football team in the last five qualifiers of the Asian Top 12.

Judging from the fact that Li Qing contributed six goals and two assists in less than 90 minutes in three games, if he represents the men's football team, he will have a chance to win all the last five rounds. By then...the men's football team will have a total of 16 points. There is a great possibility to represent Asia in the World Cup in Russia next year.

Anyway, Li Qing has received Liverpool youth training for more than six years. He can obtain a Premier League labor certificate anyway, so there is no need to worry about getting nationality and being unable to play in the Premier League. .

These remarks from the media and fans naturally attracted the attention of the Football Association, but Football Association officials scoffed and chose to ignore them.

It's so ridiculous that a minor player is needed to play football!

Of course, there are many media and fans who do not support this approach, because football is rotten to the core and no one can save it!
Li Qing admits that he is a human being, so if he proves himself in the world football center, isn't it also a way of bringing glory to the country?

The domestic media in the British Peninsula have greatly praised Li Qing. I don’t know if they have read the news reports from China. Many well-known media hope that England’s head coaches at all levels can recruit Li Qing as soon as possible to avoid being asked to leave.

The Liverpool Post even hopes that Southgate, the head coach of the England adult national team, will call up Li Qing and then come on as a substitute in an international A-level match, thereby cutting off Li Qing's opportunity to represent him.

England head coach Southgate was surprised by Li Qing's performance, but he believed that Li Qing was still too young, only 17 years old, and should now play for the U19 and U youth teams.

After all, this is the year of the World Youth Championship.

There was the Bangzi National U20 World Cup in the past, and the Asan U17 World Cup in the back.

Li Qing, who focuses all his attention on team training and additional training at the system training ground, rarely pays attention to external media comments. He only occasionally reads the posts forwarded by Tong Shenbing when chatting on WeChat.

That night, Tong Shenbing sent an unexpected voice message to Li Qing.

Why do you say accident?
Because, Tong Shenbing actually asked Li Qing if he wanted to train tomorrow.

From the beginning of the two's acquaintance to the present, although their relationship has developed rapidly and they occasionally drive, they have never asked questions with the intention of dating.

Li Qing has a soul that is close to thirty years old, how could he not hear the implication of Tong Shen Bing's words?
Isn't this... just asking him if he is free tomorrow?
So he said with a half-smile: "Cousin Shen Bing, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Tell me honestly, are you peeking at my immature body?"

"Pooh!"

In less than ten seconds, Tong Shenbing replied: "I really don't know what you, an underage boy, think about all day long!"

"Hehe~"

Li Qing smiled and said: "When you ask me if I want to train tomorrow, you are asking me if I have time tomorrow. Just tell me what you want to do."

"What do you want to do?"

Tong Shenbing is an Internet expert and has a deep understanding of homophonic memes on the Internet. She doesn't know why, but she actually thought of "Want to have sex?" Say it directly. 'Bah bah bah!
She was in a female dormitory at the University of Manchester with a pretty face. She quickly expelled the inappropriate images from her mind. Then she pressed the screen and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Isn't it your sixteenth birthday tomorrow? I just want to see you tomorrow." Do you have time? If you have time, let’s have a meal together.”

After listening to the voice, Li Qing slapped his forehead suddenly, forgetting that the original owner of this body's sixteenth birthday was tomorrow.

Of course, his birthday is calculated according to the lunar calendar, on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, but it coincides with Valentine's Day.

Li Qing felt very comfortable when he heard that. He pondered for a moment: "We will train in the morning and afternoon. If your time allows, then let's have dinner together. I'll treat you."

After a while, Tong Shenbing replied with a text: OK.

It is not difficult to see that Tong Shen Bing has made up his mind.

The next day, Li Qing came to Melwood early. What was strange was that his teammates who usually did not arrive at the training ground before ten o'clock actually came to the stadium one after another at nine o'clock.

Firmino and Coutinho, who were supposed to be on vacation in Malaga, also returned to the Melwood training base early to participate in team training.

In addition, he also felt that his teammates looked at him a little strangely.

But it's a bit hard to figure out what exactly is strange.

Li Qing is a relatively lazy person, and he never bothers to guess about other people's affairs.

The one-and-a-half-hour training session ended, and the players walked to the locker room one after another. Li Qing also packed his things and was about to go there, but at this moment, assistant coach Kravitz called him: "Hey, Li, come here."

"Mr. Peter, what?"

Li Qing looked curiously.

Kravitz's right hand naturally rested on Li Qing's shoulder: "This weekend is the fifth round of the FA Cup. We will face Leicester City at home. I wonder if you are ready to start?"

"What? Starter?"

Li Qing's pupils shrank suddenly and he looked at Kravitz in surprise.

"Don't be so excited, I'm just asking you casually."

Li Qing: "..."

The two chatted for about five minutes, and Kravitz smiled and patted Li Qing on the back: "Go take a shower, we have lunch later."

For some reason, Li Qing always felt that Kravitz's expression was strange. He could guess from the coach's arrangement that since he was not suitable for the starting lineup, why did Kravitz ask himself if he was ready?
"really weird……"

Li Qing walked to the door of the locker room with doubts. The strange thing was that the locker room was dark and there was no sound. It felt a bit scary.

But at this moment, the lights in the dressing room turned on, and Firmino and Mane were seen walking out of the shower room pushing a cake cart.

Li Qing walked in with his mouth half open, and his teammates standing on both sides sang in unison: "Happy-Birthday-to-you
Happy-Birthday-to-you
Happy-Birthday-to-Lee-Qing…”
