Chapter 621 Pressure

On the evening of the 22nd, local time in the UAE, the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi was almost full, with more than 40,000 people pouring into the stadium to watch the Club World Cup final between Liverpool and Al Ain.

Because the host team is in tonight's game, the stands of the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi tonight are basically filled with fans of the host team.

Of course, Liverpool's diehard fans still grabbed some seats, but compared with the Emiratis on the scene, there were fewer.

But this did not affect Liverpool fans' desperate cheering for the team they supported. On the day before the game, at the press conference of the Liverpool team, a photo of Li Qing yawning appeared on the front page of major media newspapers.

Almost all media used "Liverpool's star player disdains his opponent, and when asked about his opponent, he was so bored that he yawned" and other titles, which aroused countless people's expectations for tonight's game.

And the Al Ain team, when accepting news interviews, all of them had a posture of common hatred and enemies, and they vowed to make Liverpool fall and keep the Club World Cup in the UAE.

It is worth mentioning that there is also an island player named Shioya Tsukasa in the Al Ain team. Coincidentally, this player is also the absolute main force of Al Ain.

Even more coincidentally, Shioya Tsukasa is also a defender, so he has become the object of many media and reporters' interviews.

Shioya Tsukasa also boasted in the interview that he would counterattack Liverpool and create an Asian team record, and declared that if he faced Li Qing in the game, he would freeze the opponent without mercy.

Shioya Tsukasa's words excited countless on-site interviewing media. Although the game has not yet started, the topic created before the game, and it was created by the absolute main player of one of the teams, naturally attracted attention from all parties.

Of course, Al Ain itself is full of various topics in this Club World Cup. After all, Al Ain has made it all the way to the finals from the qualifying rounds, and the South American champion team River Plate fell on them in the semi-finals.

In the just-concluded third and fourth place finals, River Plate defeated Kashima Antlers 4:0 and became the third place in this Club World Cup, which has aroused more people's reverie.

Almost everyone expected that Kashima Antlers would lose to Hechang. The fact that Kashima Antlers, who were completely kicked by Liverpool to the point of doubting their lives, could only lose four goals to River Plate, which surprised many people.

And from this association, Al Ain defeated River Plate, so can it be said that Al Ain is an opponent at the same level as Liverpool in terms of strength?

Al Ain's performance in the three games of the Club World Cup is indeed worthy of praise, especially their back line, which is known as the strongest defense line in this Club World Cup.

So some people praised this game as "the world's strongest spear collides with the world's strongest shield".

But when the Liverpool and Al Ain players, together with the referee team of this game, walked out of the player tunnel, everyone was stunned. Li Qing was not seen in the Liverpool team. Where did Li Qing go?

When the audience found Li Qing yawning on the Liverpool bench, the fans in the stands made an uproar.

What a joke, Li Qing didn't play. Liverpool's star player became a substitute in such an important game. This is a naked contempt for Al Ain, which cannot be tolerated in any case.

Therefore, from the first minute of the game, boos rang out in the Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. As long as Liverpool players hold the ball, they will be booed continuously.

Li Qing was sitting on the bench. Hearing the boos from the field, he just wanted to pout, but he yawned uncontrollably, and then Klopp happened to see it.

"Li, warm up and wake up!" Liverpool's coach was a little angry. It's been so many days, yawning every day, endless, right? In this case, go warm up and wake yourself up!

"Ah?" Li Qing was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Klopp's expression that did not allow any objection, he quickly jumped up from the bench, took two steps at a time to the warm-up area on the sidelines, and began to run slowly to warm up.

"wowoowowoooooooo——"

When Li Qing was found warming up on the sidelines, the entire stadium almost uniformly exclaimed, which scared the players on the field and even Li Qing.

"What's going on? Who scored a goal?" Li Qing looked at the field and found that the ball was at the feet of his teammate. He looked at the stands in surprise and suddenly realized who the exclamation was for.

Although everyone knew that the game had just started for more than ten minutes, no head coach would choose to make a substitution at this time, of course, except for the coach of Kashima Antlers before.

However, Li Qing's sudden warm-up gave almost everyone on the scene a wrong signal, thinking that Klopp was showing a signal of dissatisfaction with the players on the field. If anyone did not perform well, he would be replaced by Li Qing immediately!

Shaqiri, who replaced Li Qing in this game, was holding back a lot of energy at this time. He finally got such an opportunity to start in an important game. He would never let himself be replaced by Li Qing.

The players on the field of Al Ain were a little dumbfounded. Although they said before the game that they were not afraid of Liverpool and Li Qing and wanted to freeze Li Qing on the field, in fact, everyone knew that Liverpool and Li Qing were not so easy to deal with.

It has only been more than ten minutes since the game started, and the Al Ain players on the field have already felt greater pressure than in previous games.

You can say whatever you want, but strength is something that cannot be made up by words. In the ten minutes of playing against Liverpool, the entire Al Ain team felt the pressure exerted on them by Liverpool.

On weekdays, Al Ain has never been as difficult against any opponent as it is now, even when it comes to River Plate.

The coach of Al Ain was walking back and forth on the sidelines in a somewhat irritable manner. The situation on the field made his heart beat violently, and his body temperature was rising uncontrollably. He didn't even realize that he was sweating profusely, and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat.

It was less than thirteen minutes after the start of the game, and the Al Ain players on the field were already in trouble.

In the past, at most two or three moves could deceive the opponent's breakthrough, but this did not happen once in this game, and Al Ain had to spend more time and energy than usual to advance to Liverpool's half.

Looking at the beads of sweat on the players' faces, Al Ain's head coach knew that if the situation continued like this, his team might not even last the first half.

And the annoying thing was that Liverpool's head coach asked the team's top scorer Li Qing to warm up at this time, which undoubtedly put more mental pressure on his players on the field!
