Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 121 A show of force and a lightning goal·Part 1

Klopp looked at the Manchester United starting list handed over by Buvac and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. It is not difficult to see that Li Qing's outstanding performance during this period made the always cautious Mourinho become a little conservative.

The formation is the most popular three-four-three in the Premier League recently, with goalkeeper De Gea, three central defenders Phil Jones, Smalling and Rojo, and three midfielders Damian, Pogba, Herrera and Valencia. The three forwards are Rashford, Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan.

It is easy to see that Mourinho's lineup is mainly defensive. In addition to preventing the uncertainty caused by Li Qing's debut, the big reason is that Manchester United just played a European game against Rostov in Russia three days ago. In the first leg of the Fed Cup 1/8 finals, the physical fatigue caused by the long journey was quite obvious.

No matter what, Mourinho's starting lineup is invincible, but the specific effect remains to be verified by the game.

Li Qing and the Liverpool players appeared at the Old Trafford Stadium to warm up. The stands on all sides accommodated 80% of the fans. When the players from both sides returned to the locker room one after another, the stadium became fully occupied.

The on-site director had a keen eye. Many famous players from the Red Cross and Red Cross Clubs appeared in the stands of the stadium. Former Manchester United meritorious coaches Ferguson and Bobby Charlton both appeared in the VIP box of the stadium. Liverpool famous players John Barnes and Carla Gerard, Gerrard and others did not receive this kind of treatment. They sat in the Liverpool fans area.

…

Li Qing leisurely put on a long-sleeved gray bottoming shirt, and then put on the third away jersey designed with fluorescent green and dark gray. Arnold nudged Li Qing with his elbow: "Li, what are you doing? Not excited?"

"What's so exciting?"

Li Qing was a little speechless, and said without blushing, "In the future you will find that it is normal for me to be in the starting lineup, brother."

"elder brother?"

Arnold rolled his eyes: "You are three years younger than me!"

"Isn't strength respected in football circles? I'm much better than you, so..."

Li Qing bent down and put on fluorescent green socks, raised his head and winked at Arnold: "By the way...can you lend me your hairspray?"

Arnold: "..."

Klopp gave the players some time to tidy up their appearance before describing the game tactics. As well-known stars in world football, they definitely want to leave a good image in front of the fans.

Even Klopp consciously protected his image when he came to Liverpool as head coach. When he was the head coach of Dortmund, he had big yellow teeth, but now?

The whiteness of his teeth is second only to Firmino, who has the whitest teeth in the team.

In addition, Firmino's big slut still had a bunch of hairspray in his hand and applied it on his head as if for free. He only nodded with satisfaction when he looked at the meticulousness shown in his own mirror.

Li Qing took the Schwarzkopf hairspray handed over by Arnold, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, it's the same brand of hairspray as Cristiano Ronaldo's. I like it."

With that said, Li Qing squeezed hard with his right hand, and a large amount of gel-like hair gel was squeezed out of the small bottle. He selectively ignored Arnold's distressed look, and walked to Firmino's own mirror without blushing or heartbeat. , putting a touch on his hair: "Handsome Robert, please give me a step, thank you."

About five minutes later, Li Qing looked intoxicated and muttered to himself in the mirror: "You are the most handsome player in the Liverpool team after all."

"puff……"

"Ahem..."

Head coach Klopp, Lovren and Firmino, who were drinking water, subconsciously squirted out a mouthful of water. Fortunately, Mane and Wijnaldum reacted and avoided it. Origi and Henderson were slow to react. Got sprayed in the face.

Li Qing looked at his teammates in confusion and said innocently: "Don't you think I'm handsome?"

Klopp: "..."

Buvac: "..."

Other teammates: "..."

"Well, it seems you have low self-esteem."

Li Qing washed his hands and said seriously.

Everyone: "..."

Time passed quickly, and there were still ten minutes before the start of the game. The FA staff knocked on the door of the visiting team's locker room to remind Liverpool players that they should go to the tunnel.

The Old Trafford stadium tunnel is larger than the Anfield player tunnel and can accommodate the starting players of both teams to enter the stadium at the same time. The substitute players do not stay, enter the stadium directly, and sit down on their own bench.

Manchester United and Liverpool are major international football clubs, and many of their players are international players. Wijnaldum and Blind are teammates of the Dutch national team, and Mignolet, Origi and Fellaini are teammates of the Belgian national team. Milner, Henderson, Lallana, Phil Jones and Smalling are teammates of the England national team...

The on-site director will connect the broadcast screen to the player channel and scan them one by one.

Li Qing is the youngest player of the two teams, but few Manchester United players underestimate him, because those teams that underestimated Li Qing were eliminated.

Rashford is one of the few players in the Manchester United team who underestimates Li Qing. Known as the "Wonder Boy" by the media, he does not want to share this title with others. He started this game at the same time and he wants to use his performance to impress Li Qing. Media around the world have proven that Rashford is the magical boy who truly turns decay into magic!

After adjusting his mentality, Li Qing noticed the hostility from Rashford. He glanced at it and disapproved of it.

Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkailang said: "Li Qing will make his debut in this double red match. I believe the fans in front of the TV have been waiting for a long time. You might as well guess what kind of performance Li Qing will perform?"

"Most of the outstanding performances in the past few games have been at Anfield. The King Power Stadium is half the size of Old Trafford. The huge contrast will definitely have a great impact on Li Qing. He can turn things into rotten games like in the past. Is it magical? Let’s wait and see.”

Lux sports commentator Zhan Jun said.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray is full of expectations: "Jose Mourinho used a defensive formation at home. Can the offensive trident composed of Lee, Sudeep and Roberto break Manchester United's defense? Martin, you What do you think?"

Martin Taylor thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Manchester United made the right choice to defend at home, but I don't know what the result will be. If they can defeat Liverpool through a quick counterattack, it would be okay, but I am afraid that the Liverpool Trident will show off its power."

Accompanied by the commentary from the live studio commentator, the players from both sides followed the referee Oliver into the court.

Li Qing, walking in the middle of the team, has a different feeling. His last start was against Leicester City at home in the fifth round of the FA Cup. His only away game was the league challenge against Leicester City. Now he is starting against Manchester United as a guest. There was a faint feeling in my heart.

But this feeling did not last long. The current Manchester United is not the Manchester United in the Ferguson era.

The current Manchester United is not the best Manchester United in the Mourinho era.
