Chapter 447 The Most Popular Person

In addition to the Chinese media "Football Weekly" which has data comparisons of the core players of the four teams that advanced to the World Cup semi-finals, the German media "Kicker", the Italian media "Gazzetta dello Sport", the Dutch media "Telegraph" and other media have more detailed data.

According to the comparison of various data, Li Qing won a crushing victory, but the advancement of France, Belgium and Croatia to the semi-finals of this World Cup is directly related to their number ten, which means that Mbappe, Hazard and Modric play a huge role in their respective teams.

Then to win the game, we must start by restricting the opponent's number ten.

However, the Belgian head coach Martinez did not adopt the strategy of restricting Li Qing, because Li Qing could not be restricted. The opponents that Li Qing had encountered at the club level include Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​etc. The head coaches of these teams are all world-class. They have not been able to study how to restrict Li Qing, which has caused Martinez, who thinks he is not as good as them, not to consider how to restrict Li Qing.

Didn't the tragic defeat of Argentina and Brazil start with restricting Li Qing?

If you pay too much attention to Li Qing, it will be counterproductive.

To defeat England, they can only find another way, starting from the offensive end, and make full use of the offensive capabilities of De Bruyne, Hazard and Lukaku.

After returning to Moscow, Southgate met with the national team as soon as possible, and studied with his assistants according to the Belgian offensive characteristics he summarized from the Samara Arena, and discussed how to suppress Belgium's mature offensive system.

As for how to break through the Belgian goal, Southgate and his team did not spend time studying, because... that was redundant.

Li Qing is a battering ram, as long as he is on the court, he will find a way to score.

Time passed day by day, and it came to July 9, local time in Russia, at 2 pm, the entire England team took a bus to the Luzhniki Stadium to adapt to the venue and prepare for the first World Cup semi-final starting at 5 pm tomorrow.

Luzhniki Stadium is the largest football stadium in Russia. It hosted the 2007-2008 Champions League final and was the first stadium in Eastern Europe to host the Champions League final. However, this stadium itself is not a professional stadium, but was rebuilt from a comprehensive stadium.

In order to host the World Cup, the Russian authorities spent 250 million rubles, or nearly 5 billion Chinese yuan, to renovate the main stadium, Luzhniki Stadium, from 2013 to 2017, which can accommodate 81,000 fans.

Just like going to the stadium to get familiar with the venue in the past, a large number of English fans, Chinese fans and fans from various countries have gathered in the square outside Luzhniki Stadium, holding up posters, banners and slogans of the players they support.

Li Qing is the most popular player in the England team. Looking around, almost all the posters, banners and slogans are about him.

Of course, the proportion of female fans is the highest.

With a casual glance, you can see beautiful fans with good looks and figures. What confuses Li Qing is that he doesn’t know whether such female fans have been opened up by their boyfriends...

Let’s get back to the point. Since the bus drove directly into the stadium and went to the locker room, Li Qing and his teammates didn’t have time to greet the fans directly, and could only wave through the glass window.

Compared with being arranged in the visiting team’s locker room in the past, England was lucky to be arranged in the home team’s locker room this time.

Obviously, the various configurations of the home team's locker room are several levels better than those of the visiting team's locker room, especially the sound insulation effect, which is just like being in an independent space and will not be affected by the outside world at all. Such advantages can be perfectly reflected during the halftime break.

Changing training shirts and putting on Nike's special football shoes, Li Qing and his teammates went to Luzhniki Stadium to adapt to the venue.

After experiencing the baptism of the Camp Nou, the largest professional football stadium in Europe, the Luzhniki Stadium, the largest stadium in Russia, gave Li Qing a similar feeling, but compared with the five games he participated in in this World Cup, this stadium is the most exciting.

The more fans there are, the more excited he is to play!

Half an hour of ballless training and passing and receiving training is open to media reporters, and the next half an hour is a closed state for technical and tactical offensive routines. The main core is naturally Li Qing, the top scorer of this World Cup.

England coach Southgate is very pleased that Li Qing is in a hot state, which means that the game tomorrow night is almost certain.

Many Belgian players play in the Premier League and have played against Li Qing many times, but they all ended up losing. Southgate believes that this time is no exception.

There are still 30 minutes left before the end of the adaptation to the venue. Southgate took captain Harry Kane to the press conference hall to attend the routine pre-match press conference.

At 5 pm local time, the entire Belgian team came to the Luzhniki Stadium for a pre-match walk-through and adaptation to the venue.

Fans who noticed the relevant media reports immediately became excited, because... the fourth to last match of the Russian World Cup will start soon!

...

Time passed by second by second, and finally it was 8 o'clock in the morning on July 10th, local time in Russia, which was 1 pm in the capital time. Chinese fans looked forward to the latest news from England.

Of course, the protagonist of the news they wanted to see most was naturally the Chinese player Li Qing.

The reputation of the Chinese men's football team is not much better than the stinking ditch, and it is meaningless to pay attention to it. As Li Qing, who has completely Chinese blood, becomes more and more famous around the world, he naturally becomes the hope of the Chinese people in the field of football.

England scored an astonishing 17 goals in five World Cup games, and Li Qing accounted for 14 of them, 13 goals and 1 assist, accounting for 82.3%.

Judging from Li Qing's scoring efficiency in the past, the upcoming Champions League semi-finals will definitely not disappoint. In addition to experiencing the atmosphere of the World Cup, the Chinese fans who came from the far east will largely watch Li Qing's goals at close range. By the way... ...feeling proud.

Perhaps South Korea Bangzi, who is across the sea, thinks that the Chinese fans are deceiving themselves, but the Chinese fans don’t think so. Li Qing speaks Chinese even more fluently than his own countrymen, recognizes his identity, and even has the opportunity to get a Chinese passport. It was just the inaction of those idiots in the Football Association that led to Li Qing representing England in the World Cup.

However, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Li Qing represented England in the World Cup and was able to take a step further with the help of England's overall strength. Isn't that... Now they have entered the semi-finals. If he represents China's men's football team in the World Cup, there is no problem in breaking out of Asia. The problem It’s the main match of the World Cup, and it will definitely become another shame...

It took a lot of effort to produce such a talented Chinese player, but we can't let the "genius" of the Football Association change from day to day to delay him.

England players and many Belgian players are club teammates and have a good relationship. There was no war of words before the game, and the media coverage was clear. There was still more than an hour before the start of the game. The buses of the England and Belgium teams arrived at the already overcrowded stadium. The square outside Luzhniki Stadium.

Tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans create a fanatical pre-match atmosphere, making the players on the bus excited and eager for the game to start soon...
