Chapter 158 Decision! Accept the Invitation From the English Football Association

The entire Liverpool team was actively preparing for the last round of the 2016-2017 Premier League, but Li Qing was worried. He made several mistakes in the first training session, which surprised the coaching staff and his teammates.

You know, he had a hat trick the day before yesterday, and was only one goal away from Harry Kane. This means that if he scored one more goal than Harry Kane in the last round of the league, he would be the top scorer in the league, and if he scored two more goals, he would be the top scorer. How did it become like this today?

During the break between training sessions, Arnold pulled Li Qing aside and asked curiously: "Li, why are you so absent-minded during training today?"

"Ah..."

Li Qing sighed, wanted to say something but didn't know where to start, and shook his head.

Westerners are more respectful of others' privacy. Since Li Qing was unwilling to talk, Arnold did not ask any more questions. He simply thought that Li Qing, who was in adolescence, had emotional problems, so he kindly said: "The old does not go, the new does not come. Don't give up the whole forest for a tree! Li..."

"What's the connection?"

Li Qing rolled his eyes and did not deliberately explain. On the contrary, he consciously adjusted his mentality and put the negative emotions behind him.

The last round of the league will kick off the day after tomorrow. The championship will be decided in one fell swoop, and the league's golden boot will also depend on this game. If the training state is not good, it is estimated that head coach Klopp will not put him in the starting lineup.

In the next training session, Li Qing gave people a brand new feeling. The trance he showed before disappeared. The worries of Klopp's coaching team disappeared instantly as Li Qing's performance gradually improved, and he fully prepared for the last round of the league.

At the end of a day's training, Li Qing, who was worried, did not practice more. He took Henderson's Land Rover directly back to his residence in the city center.

He took out his phone and saw that the message he posted on Dongqiudi and Xinlang Weibo had been fermented for most of the day, and there were already hundreds of thousands of comments and reposts, which surprised him.

The proportion of comments was still not much different from last night. The more obvious difference was that all of them supported accepting the invitation from the English Football Association to participate in the World Youth Championship and the World Cup.

Domestic reports were even more overwhelming. Whether they had heard of the name or not, the media/self-media joined the discussion on whether Li Qing would accept the invitation from the English Football Association.

Time was passing, and Li Qing really didn't know how to make a choice.

After about half an hour, the phone he placed on the sofa rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was Tong Shenbing calling.

He smiled bitterly, and it turned out that he was too immersed in thinking just now and forgot to reply to Tong Shenbing's WeChat.

As soon as the call was connected, Tong Shenbing's caring voice came through the receiver: "Li Qing, are you... still struggling?"

Li Qing lay flat on the sofa, feeling a little depressed: "It is indeed very entangled. I promised Les Rees, technical director of the English Football Association, to give an answer the day after tomorrow, but... I don't know what to choose."

Tong Shenbing on the other end of the phone smiled: "You think too complicated."

"Why is it complicated?"

"What is your current nationality?"

"Great Britain, don't you know?"

Li Qing asked puzzled.

"Isn't that enough?" Tong Shenbing laughed: "Since you are a Great British national, it is natural for you to represent England's national teams at all levels in international competitions. This is an objective fact that no one can say anything about."

"But..."

Tong Shenbing's words made sense, but she didn't know that Li Qing was a 100% person in his heart. It was just a coincidence that he traveled to this Great British Chinese body. Simple questions can naturally be answered simply, but the problem is that things are not that simple, because he still has an obsession in his heart.

Obsession to win glory for the country.

"But what?"

Tong Shenbing asked curiously.

"I want to represent the men's football team in the World Cup to prove to the world that there are talented players, but there is no soil for the growth of talents there."

Tong Shenbing was silent for a while. She stood at a neutral point of view and saw it very clearly. She said in a deep voice: "There are many ways to prove that we can produce geniuses. It is not necessary to represent the men's football team in the World Cup as you are entangled."

Li Qing seemed to sense something: "What do you mean?"

"You are stupid and you don't admit it."

Tong Shenbing rolled her eyes in annoyance and said speechlessly: "Even if the men's football team enters the World Cup under your leadership, what can it prove? Men's football is the top team in Asia? Don't be silly! Didn't you see what the fans said? Without developing youth training, it will never be possible to break out of Asia. At most, it will add a strong stroke to the political career of the amateur football association boss. "

"Do you still remember that the deputy director of the Football Association Office asked you for a benefit? The current Football Association is rotten. You want to be the savior. To be honest, your idea is a bit brainless. There are many ways to make the Chinese men's football team go out into the world. You don't have to use this thankless method. Just like you once told me that you would pay attention to domestic youth training in the future and do it yourself..."

"Look at the boiled chickens in the national football team. Do you think you can lead them? They are not players of the same level. How can there be any tacit understanding? You may be put into an irretrievable situation at any minute. You may even be blamed. This kind of thing is very common in the Football Association..."

Tong Shenbing said a lot in one breath. Li Qing went from being enlightened to feeling relieved.

They were silent for about half a minute, and Li Qing expressed his last worry: "Shen Bing, you say... If I accept the invitation of the English Football Association, will domestic fans call me a traitor and a traitor with a yellow skin and a white heart?"

"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. You just need to stick to your own ideas and contribute to football in the way you think it will work. Besides... you fool, your passport is from Great Britain, and it is the most difficult passport in the world. In your case, you can only go through the special talent introduction regulations. If the Football Association does not intervene, what can you do?"

Listening to Tong Shenbing's patient narration, Li Qing felt warm in his heart. He suddenly changed the subject after understanding the relevant naturalization process: "Actually, there is another way?"

"What method?"

"Marriage relationship."

"..."

Tong Shenbing snorted: "I am not yet 19 years old!"

After that, she added with a 'humph': "The marriage relationship must last for five years, idiot! Hum!"

Without giving Li Qing a chance to speak, she hung up the phone directly.

Li Qing did not call, he smiled and posted the news on both Dongqiudi and Xinlang Weibo: Decision made! Accept the invitation of the English Football Association, please be gentle with the fans! (￣▽￣)

After the simple expression of opinion, there is also a detailed reason.
