Chapter 412 Battle of Number 10

The video shot by China Channel 5 the day before yesterday during England's preparations for the first round of the World Cup has been broadcast yesterday after post-production. It has received a great response in China. Although England is not China's men's football team, from a side point of view, England's success or failure in the World Cup is closely related to China's football.

Li Qing, who was born in China, even if he is of Great Britain, represents China!

This is undeniable!

Many fans in China also think so. Li Qing has admitted in many public occasions that he is a Chinese. It is only some irresistible factors that have led to the current situation. He is just an ordinary person among hundreds of millions of people. He has no way to choose his nationality, and the relevant departments have not contacted him, so Li Qing represented England in international competitions.

Since Li Qing has played for England and is also the starting player in the 2018 Russia World Cup England-Argentina battle as a main player, as a Chinese fan, you should support the England men's football team, just like... many domestic fans cheer for Spain, Germany, Portugal, Brazil, and Argentina.

Of course, there are also some self-media that pursue attention and seek the attention of fans with opposite views.

China Channel 5 received the live match signal in advance, and many fans sitting in front of the TV could see Li Qing and Argentina's top star Messi warming up in the Spartak Arena.

According to the jersey numbers officially reported by England, Li Qing wore No. 10, and Messi also wore No. 10, so the media set the England-Argentina battle as the "Number 10 Battle" before the game.

Among them, the most watched player is Li Qing. If Li Qing can score in the first round against Argentina, he will surpass the youngest World Cup scorer created by Brazilian legendary star Pele in the 1958 Sweden World Cup. At that time, Pele was 17 years and 239 days old, while Li Qing today is 17 years and 122 days old, which will be improved by 117 days.

If he can score twice, he will continue to surpass Pele and become the youngest player to score twice in the World Cup.

If he is lucky enough to perform a hat trick in the Spartak Arena, Li Qing will surpass Pele again and become the youngest hat trick player in the history of the World Cup. Pele at that time performed a hat trick in the semi-final of the 1958 World Cup in Sweden against France, shocking the world. At that time, Pele was 17 years and 244 days old.

One hour before the start of the game, the coaches of both sides got the starting lineups of the other side.

England's official formation is 343, goalkeeper Pickford, defenders Maguire, Stones and Kyle Walker, midfielders Ashley Young, Dale, Henderson and Arnold, forwards Sterling, Harry Kane and Li Qing.

Argentina's official formation is also 4231, goalkeeper Caballero, Tagliafico, Rojo, Otamendi and Mercado, double defensive midfielder Biglia partnered with Mascherano, forwards Di Maria, Lo Celso and Messi, forward Aguero.

The on-site director gave a close-up shot of Li Qing and Messi who were warming up. Messi looked solemn, while Li Qing was slightly relaxed, playing with his teammates from time to time, as if the next game was a very ordinary Premier League game instead of a crucial World Cup focus game.

In the live broadcast room of Tianchao Didu, the commentator Shao Shengyi said loudly: "We can easily see from the broadcast screen that the mentality adjustment of the two No. 10s in the England-Argentina battle is different. Li Qing is very relaxed. The next game will definitely be a light-hearted game for him, so as to show his best personal level."

"It is undeniable that Messi is one of the best players on the planet, but Argentina's overall configuration has always been unbalanced. I don't know if Messi can lead Argentina, which is not optimistic about the finals, like in the last World Cup..."

The players of both sides performed rigorous warm-up movements and body stretching under the guidance of their respective physical coaches. The next game is their first game in this World Cup. No one wants to get injured due to inadequate stretching in the first game, so every movement is quite standard, and there is no need for the coach to yell loudly.

The reporters who came to the mixed zone of Spartak Arena early took a lot of photos of Li Qing and Messi. The sound of "click" kept ringing and the flash lights kept flashing. The players on both sides who were already used to this kind of life were not affected much.

Li Qing, who adjusted his mentality very well, took the initiative to show what he thought was the most handsome smile to the reporters on the sidelines and raised his scissors hand.

The English reporters, Chinese reporters and English fans who were present were full of confidence in the upcoming England-Argentina war. A Li Qing in excellent form will definitely lead his team to win the final victory.

Just like Liverpool's amazing performance in the past one and a half seasons, the only two games that Li Qing was not in were one win and one loss. The win was due to the limited strength of the opponent, and the loss was a home game against Barcelona led by Messi, and the 0:3 defeat.

Liverpool with Li Qing and Liverpool without Li Qing are two completely different teams. Liverpool without Li Qing lost 0:3 to Barcelona, ​​and Liverpool with Li Qing defeated Barcelona 4:0.

Messi's expression was solemn, largely because of the media reports that it was difficult for him to lead Argentina, which was not optimistic about the team, to defeat England led by Li Qing, just like the second leg of the 2017-2018 Champions League semi-final.

Especially when Messi's eyes swept towards Li Qing, he looked even more solemn.

Aguero noticed that his friend Messi was solemn during the warm-up, so he followed Messi's gaze and looked over, and then he also became solemn.

Turn around and see Aguero also looking at Li Qing, Messi said firmly: "Akun, we must work together, seize the opportunity, and defeat that little guy."

Aguero suffered a lot from Li Qing in the Premier League, and reached out to shake Messi's raised right hand: "We two brothers work well together, and we will definitely win the game!"

"Definitely!"

The handshake between Messi and Aguero was not captured by the broadcast, but Messi and Aguero looked at Li Qing who was warming up at the same time. Shao Shengyi, the commentator of Tianchao 5, smiled and said: "Li Qing's strength has made Messi and Aguero, two top superstars, feel pressure. The England-Argentina battle is about to begin. Compared with the next focus battle, it will definitely be as exciting as the collision of Mars and the Earth, and it may even become the most exciting battle in the history of the England-Argentina battle."

The warm-up time of both sides lasted about 40 minutes. The players walked to the player channel and returned to their respective locker rooms to make final preparations for the next game.

The Spartak Arena, which can accommodate 45,000 fans, seems to be full. Argentine fans wearing blue and white striped shirts and English fans wearing white shirts together occupy 80% of the entire stadium.

Through the overhead shot, you can also see many Chinese national flags, the conspicuous red color makes people love it deeply.
