Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Before the end of the training, assistant coach Kravitz announced the 18-man roster for the 23rd round of the Premier League to be held at Anfield at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, and Li Qing was the only player promoted from the youth team.

The other 17 are Karius, Mignolet, Milner, Lovren, Matip, Klein, Klavan, Moreno, Emre Can, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lucas, Lallana, Coutinho, Origi, Firmino and Mane.

The reason why Li Qing was selected for the roster was not because he beat Mane in a straight line, but because his own ability impressed Klopp's coaching staff.

After the full list was announced, Arnold and Woodburn had been mentally prepared, so there was no emotional fluctuation. When they heard that Li Qing was shortlisted for the roster, they immediately sent their blessings, hoping that Li Qing could make his debut in the red and blue battle tomorrow night, and then perform as powerfully as in the FA Cup.

"I'm not bragging. As long as the boss gives me a chance, I will definitely make Kong Lengzi's team lose their way!"

"Who is Kong Lengzi?"

Arnold asked curiously.

"Chelsea coach Antonio Conte!"

Firmino, who passed by, gave Li Qing a thumbs up: "Hahaha~ Kong Lengzi, this description is so appropriate!"

Compared to the FA Cup, which is not taken seriously, Liverpool seems to attach great importance to the Premier League. The players who were shortlisted for the 18-man match list went directly to the hotel after training, instead of going there on the day of the FA Cup.

As soon as Li Qing's inclusion in Liverpool's 18-man league list appeared on the official website of the Premier League, a large number of media expressed high attention to it. Personal social networking sites such as INS, Twitter, Weibo, and Facebook quickly forwarded it, and Dongqiudi sent it to the official push as soon as possible.

At only 15 years and 348 days old, Li Qing set the youngest appearance record and the youngest goal record in the FA Cup. So tomorrow, when he is 15 years and 351 days old, can he set the youngest Premier League appearance record?

Youngest Premier League goal record?

At the same time, Chelsea coach Conte couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Li Qing appearing on Liverpool's 18-man roster.

I don't know why, but he felt a little uneasy when he saw this teenager who was not yet sixteen years old appear on the game roster.

Could it be that... his appearance would threaten the team's points away from home?

Thinking of this possibility, he shook his head. Can a teenager who is not even sixteen years old decide the outcome of the Premier League?

Impossible!

The team is full of star players known by fans all over the world. Can they lose points away from home?

Still impossible!

Besides, he knows Klopp better. The main framework is there. In such an important league, how could he abandon experienced and capable star players and use young players who have no Premier League experience?

If it is the FA Cup or the League Cup, you can try it, but it is definitely not possible to play in the game related to the Champions League seat next season!

Filtering his thoughts, Conte focused on Firmino, Mane and Coutinho. In his opinion, only these three players can threaten his defense.

Li Qing took the team bus to the parking area of ​​the hotel where he stayed. He saw from afar that the door was surrounded by Liverpool fans wearing red jerseys. They held up banners, slogans or fan scarves, and some fans held up posters of the players to express their personal love for the players.

Strangely, the number of fans holding up Klopp's posters was higher than that of the players.

Li Qing, who was waiting in line to get off the bus, felt a little sour in his heart. He didn't even see a poster of himself.

Humph!

Wait!

Don't let me play in the game tomorrow night, otherwise I will let fans all over the world know me!

The next morning, Li Qing got up early, washed and had breakfast when his roommate Firmino was still not up. After resting for about an hour, he went to the gym provided by the hotel to warm up his body.

Li Qing's enthusiasm was seen by Klopp's coaching team. They looked at each other and could see the hint of intention in each other's eyes.

The 23rd round of the 2016-2017 Premier League is different from usual. There are only two time points for the ten games in this round of the league. Seven of them will kick off at 8 pm on January 31st in Great Britain, and the remaining three will kick off at 8 pm the next day, that is, 8 pm on February 1st.

Liverpool's home game against Chelsea can be said to be the most eye-catching focus of this round, so there are many reporters coming to Liverpool, in addition to local British reporters, there are also a large number of media reporters from Europe and all over the world.

Dozens of reporters came to Liverpool, which claims to have the largest fan base in the world, in order to bring the most cutting-edge information to domestic fans on the front line of the red and blue battle.

Of course, this is a long-planned arrangement, and Li Qing's sudden appearance has given them more news points to explore.

Lu Lu, a reporter from the Emperor of Football, has indeed become popular in the past two days with Li Qing's excellent performance, but several domestic media with a keen sense of smell have sent reporters to Liverpool to prepare to share a piece of the pie, which makes him very depressed.

Two hours before the game, at 6pm, the entire Liverpool team took a bus to Anfield. Compared with the fourth round of the FA Cup two days ago, the Premier League was obviously more important, which can be easily distinguished from the enthusiasm of the fans.

From the hotel where Liverpool stayed, all the way to Anfield, a large number of home team fans could be seen.

London is only more than 300 kilometers away from Liverpool, so it’s hard to say how far it is, so you can see many Chelsea fans wearing blue jerseys from the center of Liverpool to Anfield.

Sitting on the bus, Li Qing felt his heartbeat rate gradually speeding up. The nervous feeling was like the uneasy first time.

Along the way, the song "You'll Never Walk Alone", which is characteristic of Liverpool fans, resounded throughout the city. Li Qing closed his eyes to adjust his mentality and felt the blood in his body slowly speeding up. His fists were naturally clenched, as if he had endless energy. strength.

The square outside the Anfield stadium was already so crowded that the buses carrying Liverpool players had to be escorted by security personnel to slowly enter the designated parking lot.

The song "You'll Never Walk Alone" was still loud. Li Qing followed Firmino out of the car door. Countless flashlights illuminated the side, and the clicking sound kept ringing in his ears.

Although Li Qing is not a big-name player, at 15 years and 351 days old, he is likely to become the youngest player to debut in the Premier League. The previous holder of this record was former Fulham player Matthew Briggs, who was only 16 at the time. Years old and 65 days old.

If Li Qing can appear in the red-blue battle, then...these materials shot in advance will be of great use.
