Chapter 299 New Premier League Single-Season Goal Record
In addition to Messi regarding Li Qing as a future competitor, Neymar, who felt that Li Qing had taken the third place, was very unhappy. His performance in 2017 might not be as good as Li Qing's, but in terms of world football popularity and money-making, can Li Qing compare with himself?
Not!
Coupled with his handsome appearance, Li Qing is even worse.
In summary, he thinks that the organizing committee of "France Football" and professional football journalists around the world are sick!
In the 16th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League, in addition to the Merseyside Derby that attracted much attention, there was also a Manchester Derby at Old Trafford that became the focus of attention of fans all over the world.
The Merseyside Derby is indeed the most intense derby in the Premier League. After all, Everton is still a little bit inferior in ability. There is a certain gap compared with Liverpool, and the excitement of the derby is very limited.
Manchester United and Manchester City are different. Although Manchester United began to decline with the end of Ferguson's coaching career, Manchester United is still the football club with the highest commercial value in the world football. With the arrival of Mourinho's second season as Manchester United coach, Manchester United has shown signs of recovery and even topped the league at the beginning of the season.
With the injection of money from the Mansour family, Manchester City has become a world-class giant in just a few years. Now there is a world-class top coach like Guardiola coaching, forming a confrontation with the old Premier League overlord Manchester United. Even from the results in recent years, Manchester City is better.
In addition, Manchester United coach Mourinho and Manchester City coach Guardiola have fought hard in La Liga and the Champions League as Real Madrid and Barcelona coaches. Now they come to the two Manchester City giants, and the confrontation again is definitely a collision between Mars and Earth.
Manchester United will face Manchester City at home at Old Trafford. Liverpool fans are on the side of their old enemy Manchester United this time.
Why?
Now the biggest pressure on Liverpool in the league is Manchester City rather than Manchester United. If possible, a draw is also fine.
This round of Merseyside Derby and Manchester Derby were arranged in the last two games of the 16th round of the league, first the Merseyside Derby and then the Manchester Derby.
The first league match held at the London Bowl was an upset, with West Ham United, once ranked second from the bottom in the league, defeating Chelsea 1:0 at home.
The seven subsequent games were all normal, with the strong and weak teams winning.
Li Qing scored 34 goals in the past 15 league games. If he could create a new personal Premier League goal record in the Merseyside Derby, Liverpool fans would be very happy to see it. On the contrary... it is something that no Evertonian would like to see.
Allardyce, who took over the position of Everton head coach last month, vowed at the routine press conference before the game that in addition to leading Everton to defeat Liverpool away, his biggest goal was to prevent Li Qing from scoring!
Liverpool's home game against Everton kicked off at 2:15 pm local time on December 10, which is 22:15 in the capital. An hour before the game, Anfield was already full, with huge cheers like a tsunami.
"aoaoaoaooooooo——"
The Merseyside derby, the fanatical atmosphere came earlier than usual.
Because the weather was too cold, the players warmed up very seriously. The Christmas devil schedule will soon enter the high-speed channel. Injuries at this time are fatal to both players and teams.
After the 40-minute warm-up time, the players returned to the player channel one after another. Li Qing looked at the stand with the loudest cheers. There were a lot of white lights in his sight, and his handsome face instantly bloomed with a bright smile: "It's snowing."
As assistant coach Buvac closed the door of the locker room, the noise from the audience stopped abruptly, and the cold air from outside the locker room door was also blocked outside, and the warmth felt by the players became higher and higher.
Mane, who is most afraid of cold, cursed: "This damn weather! I'm freezing."
"This weather is really cold!"
Salah from Egypt in North Africa also agreed with Mane's point of view: "It's not suitable for playing football."
"I really miss the beach in my hometown, it's so comfortable, ah~"
Firmino added a sentence sitting next to him.
Li Qing said while putting on his socks: "Is there anyone running to catch the ball when I pass it?"
Mane, Salah and Firmino raised their hands at the same time, just like elementary school students raising their hands to answer: "Me! Me! I catch it!"
Klopp looked at the offensive quartet with a good relationship and was full of confidence in the upcoming Merseyside Derby.
As for whether Manchester United can stop Manchester City, it depends on fate.
Manchester City has indeed performed very well this season, but luck is better. Many games have been completed by players to kill the lore, otherwise Manchester City would definitely be more than two points behind.
Before Liverpool's home game against Everton in the league, the original light snow had turned into snowflakes, and the players and referees who appeared on the field couldn't help shivering.
The 20 players who started the game except the goalkeeper were fine, as they could run in the next game and keep their bodies warm. The coaches, substitutes, security and fans in the stands were in pain.
Maybe the snow made the chill stronger, the noise from the stands was even worse than during the warm-up.
But it had no effect on Liverpool players, and they scored when they should. Liverpool, with all the main players on the field, opened the scoring in the 19th minute. The goal was not scored by Li Qing, who was seeking to create the Premier League single-season goal record, but by Salah.
The goal was not scored by Li Qing, but the assist was.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, gradually turning into heavy snow. In order to avoid slipping and getting injured, the players on both sides consciously held back their kicks, so until the end of the first half, the score on the scoreboard was 1:0.
Tianchao 5 Channel commentator He Wei couldn't help but say: "This heavy snow may have ruined a wonderful Merseyside derby."
"Maybe it will get better in the second half."
Commentary guest Xu Yang smiled.
The players on both sides returned to the locker room, and the Anfield Stadium staff began to clear the snow. When the 15-minute halftime break was over, the stadium was completely new, and the heavy snow that was about to fall from the sky returned to the state of light snow, which made the commentators in the on-site commentary seats breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the snow became smaller, the grass was still a bit slippery. Fortunately, Li Qing changed into a pair of long-spiked shoes during the halftime break, so... the grip was tighter.
Everton's defense against Li Qing was very good, but when it was time to score, the goal still appeared.
In the sixth minute of the second half, which was the 51st minute of the game, Li Qing made a wonderful two-on-one cooperation with Wijnaldum, Mane, Salah and Firmino. He entered the right side of the penalty area and faked a shot to shake off Williams' defense. He made a powerful low shot to break through the goal guarded by his national team teammate Pickford.
The football hit the snow-white net, and the voice of Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun suddenly rose eight degrees: "The ball is in! The ball is in! Li Qing's 35th goal in the Premier League this season was born! From today on, the Premier League single-season goal record will belong to young player Li Qing! But the specific number of goals in a single season will not be revealed until the end of the season!"
"This is destined to be a crazy moment! A new Premier League single-season goal record!"
He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao 5, was ecstatic.
Andy Gray, the commentator of Sky TV, raised his arms and shouted: "Magic boy Li finally broke the record! Create a record of his own! 35 goals! Here it comes!"
