Chapter 445 Being Too Strong Is Also a Sin
“Beep~beep~beep~~”
Accompanied by two short and one long whistles to end the game, the commentator of China Channel 5, He Wei, shouted hysterically: “The game is over! The game is over! England defeated Brazil 3:0 at the Kazan Arena with three goals contributed by the young Chinese player Li Qing in the first and second half, and advanced to the semi-finals of this World Cup after 28 years!”
At the same time, the on-site director gave a close-up shot of Li Qing in front of the visiting team’s bench.
“Five games and thirteen goals. England has two games left to advance to the semi-finals. Whether it is the final or the third or fourth place final depends on how Li Qing and England perform. According to the schedule, their opponent in the semi-final is the winner of Belgium and Sweden. If nothing unexpected happens, England will face Belgium in the Luzhniki Stadium in the semi-final.”
He Wei changed the subject, and his mood was still high: “Of course, whether Belgium can advance to the World Cup semi-finals again after the 1986 Mexico World Cup depends on whether they can beat Sweden tomorrow night.”
The broadcast screen switched again to the sad Brazilian players, some of whom stood there with their hands on their hips , some collapsed on the ground holding watermelons, and some lay on the ground with their hands covering their faces...
He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, looked at the sad Brazilian players and said: "Romain Rolland once said, 'There is only one kind of heroism in the world, that is, to love life after seeing the truth of life.' Brazil should start over. After all, the road to climbing up is more exciting than standing on the top, isn't it?"
Commentary guest Xu Yang whispered: "With Brazil eliminated, it is certain that... this year's World Cup has become the European Cup."
France eliminated Uruguay, England eliminated Brazil, and the two quarter-finals tomorrow are all European teams.
The cameras of reporters from various countries in the mixed zone are all aimed at Li Qing, the youngest player in the game. Although he is the youngest player in this World Cup, he is the best player in this World Cup. He scored thirteen goals in five games. Countless fans sitting in front of the TV are wondering how many goals Li Qing, who is in such a hot state, can score?
The English fans in the audience were ecstatic and danced with joy, like a child who has not grown up.
After a while, the excited English fans, led by the Liverpool fans, sang the song "Li Qing's Song" which is familiar to Liverpool fans.
The little guy from Kirkby
If you underestimate him, you're dead
The speed of lightning, unparalleled skills
One goal after another led the great KOP to victory
Win the championship!
Goal, goal!
Never stop scoring!
Li, our king
Accept the sincere worship of your believers
Victory, victory!
……
This song is catchy and has a strong sense of rhythm. Even the English stars, FA officials and Prince William in the VIP seats couldn't help but join in. It can be easily seen that the victory of this game is of great significance.
BBC commentator Lineker was in high spirits and couldn't help humming along with "Li Qing's Song" sounding in the Kazan Arena. The last time England advanced to the World Cup semi-finals was the 1990 World Cup in Italy, and England's advancement to the semi-finals of that World Cup was largely due to Lineker.
Seeing England advance to the World Cup semi-finals again after 28 years, Li Ah Inker's mood is different again.
Compared with the World Cup in Italy, England has a greater chance of winning the championship in this World Cup!
...
In a five-star hotel in Samara, Russia, Roberto Martinez, head coach of the Belgian national team, turned off the TV and swept his eagle-like eyes to every player present. When everyone's eyes gathered, he said loudly: "Guys, England defeated Brazil to advance to the World Cup semi-finals. If we can beat Sweden tomorrow, the Luzhniki Stadium four days later will be a game for each other to compete for the finals, but... the premise is that we can beat Sweden!"
At this point, his voice rose eight degrees: "Do you... have the confidence to beat Sweden?"
"Of course!"
"We will win!"
"Sir, you think too highly of Sweden!"
"We will definitely win!"
"Semi-finals!"
...
The Belgian players shouted in unison.
Martinez was very satisfied with the players' reaction. He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "It's getting late. Go back and rest. See you tomorrow."
...
The first person to come to the press conference after the game was the visiting team coach Southgate in the press conference hall of Kazan Arena. Following the players was the England's top player Li Qing, who was dreaming of by all major media.
So, Southgate became the background. Almost all the media reporters present focused on Li Qing. Li Qing cooperated very well and had enough fun.
The atmosphere of the Brazilian team's post-match press conference held later was obviously much heavier than the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere in England. The Brazilian domestic media pointed the finger at the head coach Tite, believing that it was his improper tactics that caused the big score loss.
Tite was angry but did not explode. The reason why Brazil lost 0:3 to England was directly related to Li Qing, but as the head coach of the Brazilian national team, he must have direct responsibility and must be responsible. Therefore, facing the bombardment of the Brazilian domestic media, he chose to accept it silently.
Neymar, who accompanied the team to the press conference hall, frowned. He was already aggrieved by losing. Faced with the doubts from domestic media reporters, he got angry and lost control of his emotions: "You can play if you have the ability! I don't know how terrifying Li's scoring efficiency is." What a bunch of rubbish! Just beeping here!”
After saying that, without waiting for the media reporters to react, Neymar stood up and walked back to the tunnel of the locker room, leaving behind the stunned Brazilian coach Tite and the media reporters who did not react for a moment.
But when the reporter reacted, the entire scene was in a state of shock. Soon, news about Neymar losing control of his emotions and angrily attacking Brazilian media reporters flooded the entire Internet. Social platforms such as INS, Twitter, and Facebook were all part of Brazil’s post-match routine. Video highlights of the press conference.
The England players who took the bus back to their hotel also noticed the video highlights that quickly became popular. Henderson shook his head and said: "Lee, you are going to be the focus of the fans' attention again."
Li Qing was chatting on WeChat with his girlfriend Tong Shenbing on his mobile phone without raising his head: "Isn't it gay for me to be the center of attention? Is there anything strange about it?"
"..."
Henderson was speechless. Arnold bumped Li Qing's right shoulder with his left shoulder: "It was Neymar who lost control of his emotions during the media interview and told you in passing."
"Oh?" Li Qing took back his phone and asked with interest, "Is there anything else?"
“If you don’t believe it, open Instagram or Twitter yourself.”
After a while, Li Qing sighed and said without blushing, "This handsome guy is still too strong, which makes Neymar anxious. Hey~ sometimes being too strong is also a sin."
"Ugh~"
Teammates such as Alexander-Arnold, Henderson, Milner, Joe Gomez, Harry Kane and others who had a good relationship with Li Qing all retched in tacit agreement.
Head coach Southgate, who was sitting in the front row of the bus, nodded with satisfaction. In his opinion...a good team atmosphere is the fundamental element for the team to win the championship.
