Chapter 292 There Is a Way! (Additional Update)

In addition to the Iberian Peninsula derby, the most watched group draw ceremony of the 2018 Russia World Cup was the England-Argentina war, which was a rivalry from politics to football. As soon as the draw ceremony ended, the domestic media and fans of England and Argentina started to fight each other on social media such as INS, Twitter and Facebook.

Messi is the top star of Argentina. Although Li Qing is not the top star of England, his goal-scoring ability is stronger than Messi. He contributed 32 goals in 14 league rounds, which is even more than the number of goals contributed by most players in a season.

So, in this case, Messi and Li Qing became the comparison objects of major media for the first time.

If Li Qing had not appeared in 2017, the person who would be compared with Messi would definitely be Harry Kane, so Harry Kane was a little disappointed when watching the media reports, but from the perspective of pressure, it is much less than in the past.

For Harry Kane, it is a blessing in disguise.

The draw ceremony for the group stage of the World Cup in Russia has ended. All major media and fans have maintained full attention to the group stage, while the entire Liverpool team is still focusing on the upcoming 15th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season, the away game against Brighton.

In addition to the battle between Liverpool and Manchester City for the top spot in this round of the league, the most watched game is the pseudo-Reds game between Arsenal and Manchester United at home.

Brighton is a coastal city in southern England, while Liverpool is a port city in the northwest, which means that the game at Brighton's Union Community Stadium is to cross the whole of England, but the land area of ​​England is not large, so it is not too tiring.

Liverpool, who played as a guest at the Union Community Stadium, played with the characteristics of having an overall advantage in strength. Li Qing, the highly-watched Liverpool striker, contributed two shots and two assists, and was the biggest contributor to the team's victory as a guest, helping the team win the game 5:1 and continue to protect its advantage in the standings.

Unfortunately, in another game played later, Manchester City defeated their opponents again with a score of 2:1, and the player who helped Manchester City beat West Ham was Sterling, a former Liverpool youth player. So Liverpool fans who learned the result vented their anger on Sterling, believing that he prevented Liverpool from expanding their lead.

Manchester United, ranked third, defeated Arsenal 3:1 away, maintaining the points pressure on Liverpool and Manchester City.

The 15th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League has all ended. Except for a small number of media focusing on the World Cup group draw that just ended, most of the media focused on Li Qing's pursuit of Andy Cole and Alan Shearer's Premier League single-season record of 34 goals and the Champions League group stage that is about to rekindle the war.

Except for Chelsea, which failed to qualify in advance, the other four teams representing the Premier League in the Champions League group stage have already qualified and locked in the first place in the group. Chelsea, who will face Maribor at home in the last round, is likely to win a big victory and qualify as the first in the group.

This means that all five Premier League teams participating in the Champions League in the 2017-2018 season will qualify!

Therefore, the focus of the English media is on Li Qing, who is chasing the Premier League single-season goal record set by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer.

34 goals in 15 rounds, an average of more than two goals per game, is an unprecedented record, and it can even be said that there will be no more.

With the development of modern football, every coach's priority is the team's defense, leaving very little loopholes for the opponent's forwards. Forwards like Li Qing who ignore the opponent's defense are really rare in a century.

The Russian World Cup will kick off in June next year. The English media, who are happy to have a striker, will naturally not ignore this publicity opportunity. At the same time, they are also calling on UEFA and FIFA to protect Li Qing and let him enjoy the same treatment as Messi.

Fouling Li Qing is anti-football!

In the England-Argentina battle in the Russian World Cup next year, Li Qing and Messi are both the highlights!

Protecting Li Qing means maintaining the attention level of the England-Argentina battle!

It was expected that he would tie the record of 34 goals in a single season in the Premier League created by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer. There was nothing to brag about. As a result, the English media wanted the world's media to know about it...

In addition to the English media's attention to Li Qing's tie for the record of a single season in the Premier League, the media from China were also very interested and reported on it tirelessly. There were even many media reporters and fans who speculated on how many goals Li Qing could contribute in the Premier League this season.

Most of the fans were conservative and believed that Li Qing could only contribute about 50 goals in a single season, just like Messi. Another small number believed that Li Qing might surpass the record of 60 goals in a single season created by Everton legend Dixie Dean in the 1927-1928 season.

The remaining very small number of fans were very bold and used Li Qing's two goals in a single game to calculate that 38 rounds of the league would be 76 goals, and rounded it off to 80 goals.

You don't know until you see it. When you see it, you're shocked. Li Qing, the person involved, slapped his forehead when he saw the dynamics of the fans of the Emperor of Football, and said, "There's something to do!"

Anyway, scoring goals is linked to money. One more goal is equal to 100,000 pounds. Why not?

The sixth round of the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League group stage has arrived as scheduled. This round of group stage will determine the final berth in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.

Liverpool secured first place in the group as early as the end of the fourth round, so they can send out a substitute lineup in the last round of the group stage against Atletico Madrid at home, just like in the fifth round.

According to Klopp's idea, he was not going to let Li Qing enter the 18-man squad, so that he could have enough rest time. As for Roma coach Di Francesco's hope that Liverpool would abide by the fair competition rules in an interview with the media, he had already put it aside.

The real devil's schedule is coming soon, and main players like Li Qing must be well protected.

Why do thankless things?

However, Li Qing wanted to break Ronaldo's record of 11 goals in the group created by Ronaldo in the 2015-2016 Champions League, so he decided to play in the game.

Originally, Klopp wanted to stick to his own opinion, but considering Li Qing's strong desire to score, after careful thinking, he finally decided to let Li Qing enter the substitute list.

The day before the game, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone, who received Liverpool's 18-man match squad, shook his head slightly. Firmino, Salah and Van Dijk, the three main players, did not appear in the squad, but Li Qing, who was most worried, was on the list.

Headache!

Roma coach Di Francesco, who was watching the Liverpool match roster, was quite satisfied. Although many of Liverpool's main players were rested, the most critical shooter Li Qing could be on the roster, even if he was only a substitute in the second half.

In order to prevent bookmakers from controlling the game, UEFA started two games in the same group at the same time, Liverpool vs. Atletico Madrid and Roma vs. Qarabagh.

An hour before the game, Diego Simeone, who got the Liverpool starting list, cheered!

Li Qing did not appear in the starting list!

Roma coach Di Francesco, who was watching the Liverpool vs. Atletico Madrid match, saw that Li Qing did not start and could not help but cursed: "Jurgen wants to get rid of me?"
