Chapter 165: Unprecedented Record

The carnival of Liverpool fans lasted for about half an hour before the FA staff were able to come to Anfield from the player tunnel and set up a simple podium to present awards to the entire Liverpool team, the champions of the English Premier League in the 2016-2017 season.

The fans at Anfield were still rational. They left a bottom for Klopp, Li Qing and other Liverpool players. Looking at the singing Liverpool fans, Li Qing and head coach Klopp and others looked at each other and saw some helplessness in each other's eyes.

The broadcast screen was restored, and the commentator of New England Sports, Jin Xiangkai, smiled and said: "This is the excitement that Liverpool fans have been holding back for 27 years. Think about Manchester City's championship in the 2011-2012 season, and you can understand why Liverpool fans are so excited. Fans sitting in front of the TV who want to see Liverpool players have to wait a little longer. They... are busy wearing the championship commemorative jerseys."

In fact, the work of the FA staff is very simple. They just put the prepared materials in the middle of the stadium and splice them together, which takes less than ten minutes.

However, Liverpool fans were so excited that they returned to the audience more than half an hour later, and the high-spirited Liverpool players dressed up and prepared to play for nearly an hour later. However, Liverpool fans in the audience and in front of the TV did not have any dissatisfaction, but were full of expectations.

There are many three generations of Liverpool fans in the audience. The last time they witnessed Liverpool win the league championship was 27 years ago, when the top league in England was still called the English League One. 27 years have passed in a flash, and things have changed.

Young fans were still tadpoles 27 years ago, middle-aged fans were still young guys in love 27 years ago, and old fans were constantly running for life 27 years ago. Looking back, Liverpool has won the league championship again.

"aoaoaooaaooa——"

The first to walk out of the player tunnel and step into Anfield were not Liverpool players, but players who had made outstanding contributions to Liverpool in the past lined up in commemorative shirts, and the audience rang with huge cheers as violent as a tsunami.

Then, loud singing rang out over the stadium, and the team song "You'll Never Walk Alone" swept the entire stadium. The broadcast screen was given to the player channel. The impatient head coach Klopp and his coaching staff and players couldn't help but hum and cheer for this hard-won league championship.

The young and handsome Li Qing's hair was shiny, and his eyes were fixed on the former Liverpool captain, or more precisely, on the Premier League championship trophy held in Gerrard's arms.

"Li, do you want to feel the Premier League championship trophy in advance?"

Gerrard, dressed in a suit, blinked at Li Qing.

"Yes."

Li Qing said subconsciously.

"Then you keep thinking..."

"Hahaha——"

The excited Liverpool coaches and players laughed in good faith, and Li Qing was speechless: "..."

Soon, Gerrard walked towards the stadium holding the championship trophy according to the process of the Premier League championship award ceremony. In the envious eyes of a group of former Liverpool stars, he stepped on the red carpet with the Liverpool team logo, walked straight to the podium, and then placed the silver championship trophy on the trophy holder.

As Gerrard followed the two FA staff members back, the on-site DJ shouted hysterically: "Now please welcome the 2016-2017 Premier League champion members to come on stage..."

Li Qing in the player's tunnel was pushed forward by captain Henderson: "Let's go, Li——"

Li Qing was the first to walk out of the player's tunnel, and the Liverpool fans in the audience burst into a huge cheer: "Leeeeee——"

They knew that Liverpool could win the league championship after 27 years, and Li Qing made a great contribution!

Other players and head coach Klopp walked out of the player tunnel one after another, followed by Li Qing and shook hands with former Liverpool players and celebrities who lined up to welcome him.

Li Qing, who was walking in the front, was the most popular. Former Liverpool players and celebrities rushed to hug and shake hands with him. Liverpool owner John Henry and his wife Linda Pizzuti, club executives, and small shareholder LeBron James who came to Liverpool during the NBA break, who were sitting in the VIP seats, all had bright smiles on their faces.

As Liverpool won the league championship, the club's value will be higher. The famous NBA player LeBron James was particularly happy. The club he bought for $6.5 million in 2011 is now worth at least $40 million, an appreciation of six times.

Before the Liverpool players held up the league championship trophy on the podium, there was another personal honor, that is, the 2016-2017 English Premier League top scorer trophy, a golden boot standing on the trophy stand.

However, as far as Li Qing knows, this Golden Boot is a replica. The real one was sent to the Kingston Communications Stadium before the game. After all, in the last round of the league, Li Qing was still one goal behind Harry Kane. Judging from the possibility of winning the Golden Boot, Harry Kane has a higher chance.

Of course, tomorrow... the real one will be delivered to Li Qing.

Back to the point, Li Qing appeared on the broadcast screen holding the Premier League Golden Boot Award. Leshi Sports commentator Zhan Jun was still in high spirits and said ecstatically: "The last time the youngest top scorer in the English top league was created was by former Liverpool player Michael Owen. Nineteen years later, Li Qing, also from Liverpool, raised the record created by Michael Owen by a lot..."

New England Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said with a surge of emotion: "The young Chinese player Li Qing raised the youngest Premier League Golden Boot created by Owen by two years. I think... for a long time in the future, No young player can break his amazing record!"

At this point, his mood changed significantly, and his tone was full of envy: "Originally, our national team could have this young player who created miracles, but those who did nothing could only give him up. Fortunately, football has no borders, and we can continue to see Li Qing's wonderful performance in the future, the World Youth Championship, the World Cup..."

When Li Qing walked to the podium with the Golden Boot Award, the coaching staff, teammates and staff were all ready, waiting for the arrival of Li Qing, who won the Premier League's top scorer this season.

Klopp and Liverpool players were already eager to hold up the league championship trophy. As soon as Li Qing walked to the trophy, the FA staff handed the trophy to the captain Henderson.

Henderson did not hold the trophy with both hands, but turned to Li Qing and said: "Li, let's hold the trophy together."

Li Qing smiled and shook his head, turned his head to find the veteran Lucas in the crowd, and said loudly: "Uncle Lucas Cava, you come and hold up the championship trophy with Jordan."

Lucas did not refuse, he jumped down from the back row and held up the Barclays Cup, which symbolizes the league championship, with Henderson.

At the same time, red environmentally friendly fireworks were lit on both sides of the podium.

Liverpool fans and Leshi Sports commentator James Jun shouted hysterically: "2016-2017 Premier League champions - Liverpool!"
