Chapter 95 Don’t Be Afraid, I Have a System
The Tottenham coach who lost the game, Pochettino, was very gentlemanly. He took the initiative to walk to the home team's coaching bench and shook hands with Klopp: "Jurgen, congratulations."
Klopp shrugged his shoulders and said: "Actually, your performance is not bad, but... we have a perverted child."
The voice was not loud, and the tone was not deliberately exaggerated, but Pochettino just sounded uncomfortable...
The broadcast screen was given to Li Qing, and the fans sitting in front of the TV could see that Li Qing's young and handsome face was slightly heavier.
In this game, except for his excellent performance in the first 25 minutes of the second half, he did not do much in the remaining 20 minutes.
He knew that part of the reason for this was that his teammates were satisfied with the status quo, and the two-goal lead was enough to defeat Tottenham, and the participation in the offense was not enough, but part of it was that the Tottenham players' movements became bigger and bigger, and the defense didn't care about the ball at all.
If the defense of the team next faced was more fierce, then... it would be troublesome.
Although he had a soul close to 30 years old, it was his first time to participate in professional football. Facing the aggressive defense of the big man, many 50-50 opportunities were subconsciously avoided.
"It seems that I need to adjust my mentality appropriately. Professional football...is not that simple."
Just when Li Qing was lost in thought, a tall and handsome player wearing a Tottenham jersey came over and raised his right hand with a smile: "Li, you performed really well. Can we exchange jerseys?"
Li Qing came back to his senses and looked up. It was Tottenham striker Harry Kane, the future captain of England, a player with a very British gentleman temperament.
He showed a handsome smile that was not inferior to Harry Kane, raised his right hand and shook it gently, and said without blushing or beating his heart: "The performance was pretty good. There was nothing you could do about your teammates in the second half."
Harry Kane rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "I worked hard to score a goal, and your one goal and two assists are just okay?"
"The Premier League is the most physical league in the world. You are still young, less than sixteen years old, and there is still a long way to go. The key now is to protect yourself. Injuries are the nightmare of all professional players."
He certainly couldn't say this to his face. He smiled and said to Li Qing was conveying his rich experience in the game. At this point, he changed the subject: "I really envy you for being so successful at the beginning of your career. I... started my career in the English League One, the third-level league in England, with 5 goals in 18 games. How can I compare with you? Six goals as a substitute in three games? Come on!"
As he spoke, Harry Kane took off his Tottenham jersey and handed it to Li Qing with a smile: "Let's exchange jerseys. I hope... I can be your teammate in the national team in the future."
Li Qing took off his jersey and took it over and put it on his shoulders. Since he was wearing a red base shirt inside, he didn't feel cold.
Watching Harry Kane leave, Li Qing frowned and fell into deep thought: "I hope to be my teammate in the national team in the future?"
In fact, Li Qing's first priority in his heart is still, but the identity of this body is more troublesome. He only has an uncle who has no contact with him. It is tantamount to being alone. If he wants to restore his nationality, unless he gets the green light, he has to stay for five years or get married.
However, he is still three days away from turning 16. Even according to the laws of Great Britain, he has to wait until he is 18 to get married.
But then again, the men's football team is poor in level, has a bad temper, and refuses to admit defeat. If he is a national teammate with these men, it will be difficult for him to qualify for the World Cup, let alone qualify for the Asian Cup.
The World Cup dream at that time may never come true.
If he continues to retain his British nationality, he can choose to represent England in international A-level competitions and compete in the World Cup qualifiers.
Maybe some people think that Li Qing ignores the rise and fall of his motherland in order to realize his dream, but it is undeniable that the current football environment is really bad, and there is a lack of successors. At the age of 23, he is still called a young player, and even needs policy support to play for one minute.
The best player in the men's football team is the 37-year-old veteran Zheng Zhi!
What role can such a national team play?
There are many ways to give back to the motherland. When you make a lot of money in the future, you can open a youth training academy to lay the foundation for your future football dream!
The strength of one person can never make a team strong.
"Li, why are you in a daze?"
Firmino's big white teeth appeared in front of him, Li Qing smiled and said: "Nothing, just thinking of some unhappy things."
"What is it? Can you tell me and make me happy?"
Li Qing: "..."
In the mixed zone after the game, the player who was interviewed this time was old comrade Milner.
It's not that he replaced Li Qing as the best player on the spot to be interviewed, but his performance was officially the best player. Although Li Qing contributed one goal and two assists in this game, his role in the second half was not very obvious. Instead, Milner, who played as a left back, performed eye-catchingly, running at all costs and defending at the right time to protect Liverpool's left defense.
The home game 3:1 defeated Tottenham made head coach Klopp very happy. With a big wave of his hand, he unexpectedly gave the players three days of rest.
Of course, this holiday is for those players who participated in the league. As for the substitutes and players promoted from the youth team who failed to be shortlisted for the 18-man game list, they need to participate in training.
However, in order to play more games and improve himself, Li Qing gave up the holiday and chose to practice more at Melwood.
Mane has the same idea. He just finished the African Cup and his physical function has not yet recovered to the best.
Firmino and Coutinho, both romantic Brazilians, went on vacation together. It is said that they went to Malaga, a resort in southern Spain, to enjoy the sun and the beach.
Li Qing studied at school in the morning during the school week and took the bus to Melwood in the afternoon to participate in team training.
Klopp and his assistants Buvac and Kravitz saw Li Qing's efforts. They admired Li Qing in their eyes. They were even discussing whether to replace Lallana with Li Qing in the starting position.
After several discussions, they felt that they should not be so anxious. With Li Qing's current performance, he can indeed be qualified for the starting position, but according to Li Qing's characteristics, he is currently the most suitable substitute.
In addition, Li Qing is still in the state of growing up. Letting him participate in too many fierce games is likely to bring unexpected consequences.
If Li Qing knew the coaching staff's thoughts, he would definitely say: "Don't be afraid, I have a system."
Of course, this is a joke. After all, the system is the helper for Li Qing to become powerful. If it is announced, wouldn't he become a guinea pig?
