Chapter 466: Being Injured

Chapter 466 Injured...

At 2:00 pm on July 14, local time in Russia, the entire England team took a bus from the hotel to the Luzhniki Stadium for the last pre-match training to adapt to the field.

The time is two hours. The first half hour is for the team to conduct no-ball and ball training in front of the official World Cup cooperative media, that is, warm-up and ball passing and cutting training without any game tactics, so that the cooperative media reporters can take pictures of the mental state of the players on both sides of the final.

Compared with the rest intervals of the semi-finals, quarter-finals and quarter-finals, the final is obviously longer, but this is only relative to England. From the perspective of the schedule, England has one more day of rest than the French team.

The semi-finals in which England eliminated Belgium were on July 10, and France eliminated Croatia on July 11. The final was at 6 pm on July 16, which means that England had nearly six days of rest time, while France only had five days. Therefore, the mental state and state shown by England, who first adapted to the field, were excellent.

Especially Li Qing, his speed, physical fitness and technique are eye-catching. The French media reporters who came to the scene to shoot frowned and were worried. A Li Qing in excellent condition is absolutely invincible!

"Fuck, what am I thinking?" Those French reporters immediately realized that their thoughts were wrong and quickly changed: "What's the use of being in good condition? We France are the final champions of the World Cup in Russia!"

The staff from the official FIFA filming recorded the beautiful pictures in front of them on the camera. When the French team arrived at the Luzhniki Stadium to complete the adaptation, they could go through a short and efficient editing and post-production to face football fans all over the world and ignite the fanatical pre-match atmosphere.

Li Qing is in excellent condition. The England coaching staff is happy to see it. They know that the World Cup final at the Luzhniki Stadium tomorrow night can welcome the World Cup champion as long as they do a good job of defense!

Thinking of this, everyone is full of fighting spirit and can't wait for the World Cup final to come.

The official cooperative media reporters left the stadium one after another half an hour later, and the entire England team got a chance to adapt to the venue in a semi-closed state.

Crosses from the bottom, two 45-degree crosses, crossovers, long shots, cannons, various one-on-one and two-on-two cooperations, etc., the head coach Southgate standing on the sidelines was very satisfied with the players' competitive state, especially Li Qing.

In fact, Southgate's coaching team's tactics in the final were relatively simple. The midfielders and backcourt players did a good job of defense, and Li Qing was responsible for counterattacks and creating opportunities in positional attacks.

Harry Kane and Sterling are both world-class players. As they gradually adapted to Li Qing's passing style, they began to have a very good tacit understanding with Li Qing, and their running rate and shooting success rate were both on the rise.

The ball training lasted about an hour, and the head coach Southgate took the captain Harry Kane to the press conference hall to attend the routine pre-match press conference.

Li Qing looked at the head coach Southgate and captain Harry Kane who were going away, and his starry eyes revealed a faint sense of disappointment.

In fact, he really wanted to chat with media reporters from all over the world.

They spoke well and were all talented. They loved press conferences.

Around 5pm, the French team led by Didier Deschamps arrived at the square outside the Luzhniki Stadium by bus. The long-awaited French fans burst into a huge cheer, and the French players sitting in the bus gradually felt that the responsibility they shouldered was getting bigger and bigger.

The World Cup champion is determined!

After returning to the hotel where he was staying, Li Qing did not take the elevator directly to the floor where the whole team stayed, but went to Room 1710 on the 17th floor alone and rang the doorbell.

The person who opened the door was his girlfriend Tong Shenbing who arrived in Moscow yesterday. She smiled and said, "You are back."

"Did you miss me?"

Li Qing said with his right hand on the door, winking.

"Ahem~"

Tong Shenbing coughed dryly, her face slightly red, and her beautiful big eyes glanced inside. Li Qing just realized something, and heard a girl's voice from inside: "Hello, brother-in-law~"

Li Qing said without blushing: "Hey, Ning Qing, such a good weather, why don't you go out and feel the customs and customs of Moscow? It's not good to stay here, right?"

"That's right."

Ning Qing glanced at Tong Shenbing with a smile: "Bingbing, then I'll go out and feel the fresh air of Moscow, end...ah~"

Tong Shenbing pinched Ning Qing's waist vigorously, and said with a red face: "What nonsense are you talking about."

"Haha~" Li Qing smiled and put his arm around Tong Shenbing's shoulders and walked into the room. Ning Qing was more tactful. After chatting for a few minutes, he pretended to go out for a stroll. Li Qing and Tong Shenbing didn't say anything tacitly.

When Ning Qing left, she rolled her eyes and kindly advised: "You still have a game tomorrow."

"Don't panic, I have a strong ability to recover."

...

At night, the whole team had a dinner together, and Arnold asked curiously: "Li, what's wrong with your foot?"

When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look over, including the five-star hotel staff who served the England players.

The head coach Southgate's heart was even more "snapped". Li Qing came back fine, why did he suddenly tremble when he walked?

Could it be that he was bored and used a perfume bottle as a football like Cañizares back then and had an accident?

In a corner where no one noticed, a waiter took a mobile phone to shoot Li Qing, who was walking a little unsteadily...

Li Qing sat down at the table without blushing, spread his hands, shrugged and said: "Why are you all making a fuss? I just squatted for too long and my feet are numb. What are you worried about?"

After that, he moved his mind slightly, and a bottle of super physical potion placed in the inventory disappeared. The familiar system prompt sound came: "Ding! The host uses the "physical potion" and the physical fitness is restored to 100%."

Southgate and his assistants and players breathed a sigh of relief. Li Qing's good health is the guarantee for England to win the World Cup. To be more precise, whether England can win the World Cup depends on Li Qing's performance.

The whole England team who were dining did not expect that INS appeared. An insider at the hotel where England stayed posted a short video. The video content was Li Qing walking with a limp, and the faces of the England coaching staff and players showed obvious worries.

Soon, tens of thousands of fans commented and forwarded on Instagram. A few minutes later, Twitter, Facebook, Weibo, and Dongqiudi, which are social platforms and mobile apps with a lot of users, all showed a shocking headline: England's top scorer Li Qing was suspected to be seriously injured before the game!

"Oh my god!"

Rashford has the habit of browsing social platforms while eating, and he blurted out when he saw the overwhelming hot topics.

"Marcus, what's wrong?"

Head coach Southgate frowned.

"Boss, Instagram is full of news about Li's injury now."

"What?" Li Qing, who was still enjoying the food, twitched his mouth slightly: "I... injured?"

"Look for yourself..."

Li Qing reached out to take the phone handed over by Rashford, and other teammates came over one after another, and the picture they saw... was the short video of him limping just now...
