Chapter 140 Li Qing's Addiction and Defending Player of the Month

Li Qing did not score a goal in the first league game. Head coach Klopp thought that Li Qing's condition had declined. In order to better protect Li Qing, he decided to put Li Qing back on the bench.

The day before the game, Li Qing was speechless when he learned that he was not in the starting lineup.

According to assistant coach Buvac, head coach Klopp thought that he had too many starting appearances, which led to fluctuations in his condition, so he should return to the bench to adjust his condition.

After hearing this reason, Li Qing rolled his eyes. If he had known this, he should have gone all out.

In the 32nd round of the 2016-2017 Premier League, Liverpool challenged Stoke City, which is known as the "Sky City". I don't know if Liverpool has recently become dependent on Li Qing. Not to mention that the offense was not good in the first half, the defense was full of loopholes, and the performance was not like a championship team at all.

Klopp stood in the visiting team coach command area with a frown on his face, thinking that he should find a world-class central defender this summer, otherwise it would be difficult to get to the next level. After all, Li Qing can't contribute 2.5 goals in every game to keep the team unbeaten.

Even if Li Qing is really that efficient, he still has to do a good job of defense. The league is long, and it's okay for the defense to have some minor problems. The problem is that he will definitely participate in the Champions League next season.

The biggest feature of the tournament system is to do a good job of defense, otherwise it will be difficult to win the championship.

The Champions League is much more difficult than the Premier League.

In the first half, Stoke City led Liverpool 1:0 at home with Shaqiri assisting Walters to score.

The ten-minute halftime break passed quickly, and Liverpool took the lead in making adjustments. Li Qing, who has been in hot form recently, replaced Origi.

When Stoke City coach Mark Hughes saw Li Qing come on as a substitute, his mouth twitched and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

This uneasiness became stronger as Li Qing became more active in the game. His team is now leading by one goal. As long as they keep the score until the end of the game, they can win three points, but... can they hold on for that long?

As it turned out, Mark Hughes, who played for Manchester United for most of his career, only played for ten minutes. Li Qing played a wonderful two-on-one match with Coutinho and Firmino on the right. He pretended to pass the ball to Coutinho, who was in a better position, when he entered the penalty area. The latter contributed a powerful shot from the penalty area line to help Liverpool equalize the score.

Three minutes later, Liverpool's attack came back. Li Qing used a realistic fake move to enter the penalty area on the right. Liverpool's old player Glenn Johnson tripped Li Qing who had completed the breakthrough in the penalty area. The referee on duty decisively awarded a penalty.

Milner scored the penalty and Liverpool overtook the score.

In the subsequent game time, Stoke City tried to strengthen the attack, but the offensive players did not perform well enough. They lost the ball before scoring a goal.

Li Qing played a thousand-mile solo for the first time at the Britannia Stadium, helping the team expand the score to two goals.

And this goal was also the last goal of the game.

Unfortunately, Chelsea defeated Bournemouth 3:1 away, and the gap between them widened to five points again.

Liverpool has won nine consecutive league games, from defeating Chelsea at home in the 23rd round of the league to defeating Stoke City away. The gap between them and Chelsea, which was 10 points higher than the top scorer, has now dropped to five points. If they win the make-up match, the gap will be reduced to two points.

Chelsea will visit Old Trafford in the next round. If Chelsea loses points and Liverpool wins, the gap will be equal or surpassed.

As the league is coming to an end, Chelsea feels huge pressure from top to bottom. Manchester United coach Mourinho does not have the extreme Manchester United fans' idea of ​​preferring to lose than Liverpool's reversal to win the championship. He only wants revenge!

Chelsea's past glory is the shadow of Mourinho. Real Chelsea fans have never regarded Mourinho as an outsider. In the first round of this season, when he led the team to Stamford Bridge, his pride was beaten by Conte, the fool. In the next round, which is the focus of Chelsea's championship, Mourinho is trying his best to achieve a sniper.

Liverpool fans are also rare to stand on Manchester United's side, caring about the recent situation of Manchester United players and asking about their well-being.

Neutral fans were very moved. If fans in this world were so lovely, wouldn't the world be peaceful?

There was only one real focus battle in the 33rd round of the 2016-2017 Premier League. Manchester United played against the leader Chelsea at home. The mainstream media in Europe believed that the result of this game was likely to affect the ownership of the Premier League championship this season.

Chelsea only had Manchester United as a tough nut to crack among the remaining league opponents. Liverpool's remaining opponents were all mid- and lower-level teams, the kind that had no hope of relegation in the European war.

It was somewhat unrealistic to expect these teams to stop Liverpool, so the London media hoped that Chelsea coached by Conte could take three points away from Old Trafford.

The game involving the ownership of the league championship attracted the attention of the media all over the world.

There are many Manchester United fans and Chelsea fans in China. These fans who have their home team in mind have started a war of words on major online platforms.

Manchester United fans believe that Chelsea fans have forgotten their roots and have repeatedly humiliated the meritorious coach Mourinho at Stamford Bridge. They deserve not to win the league championship this season.

Chelsea fans laughed at Manchester United for being underestimated, saying that even Mourinho could not save the team.

In addition to the fans' verbal war, players from both sides also joined in through online platforms, attracting attention from all parties.

The entire Liverpool team was extremely focused, ready to die.

According to Klopp, Chelsea could not control whether they lost points or not, but he could solve the team's state and mental outlook.

On the second day of resuming training, several "uninvited guests" "broke into" Melwood Stadium.

Official Premier League staff came to the first-team training ground with the two trophies of [Player of the Month] and [Coach of the Month]. Compared with the last time, Li Qing was mentally prepared.

Head coach Klopp also smiled. Last month, Liverpool defeated Arsenal, Manchester City and Everton under his leadership, winning three consecutive league victories.

Coach of the Month, well deserved.

Last month, Li Qing broke the embarrassing record of Liverpool players not winning the Player of the Month award for three years. It was not too long before Klopp won the Coach of the Month award. He last won this honor in September last year, but it was three years and one month before he won both the Player of the Month and the Coach of the Month.

The entire Liverpool team was very happy that Li Qing and Klopp won the Player of the Month awards, and they were full of confidence in future games.

While focusing on the battle between the Red and Blue, the mainstream European media also focused on the news that Klopp and Li Qing won the Premier League's official Coach of the Month and Player of the Month respectively.

Especially the media and fans, as if they had a sense of honor.
