Chapter 242: Blasting the Toilet Paper Media

Li Qing, who is preparing for the sixth round of the 2017-2018 Premier League, was speechless about the media reports of France Football and L'Equipe. He did not set the list of FIFA World Footballer of the Year candidates, so why can't he be shortlisted for the European Golden Boy Award candidate list founded by Turin Sports Daily?

Bullying?

I'm only 16 years and 7 months old!

Mbappe and Dembele's performance is not as good as mine, so you say I'm bullying?

Who is bullying whom?

The domestic media in England was speechless about the reports of the domestic media in France, especially the Spanish media Marca, which joined in the fun. The official account of the media on INS even asked Turin Sports Daily to withdraw Li Qing's candidacy.

Li Qing was anxious after seeing the report of Marca. He went to the official INS account of Marca and started to scold: "Why can't I be selected as a candidate for the European Golden Boy Award? Just because I perform better than every young player in your country? I'm only sixteen years old! Why can't I be selected?"

"Wake up! Even if I'm not selected as a candidate, do you think Borja Mayoral and Aaron Martin can be elected? I can tell you responsibly that Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele have a better chance!"

Li Qing bombarded the official INS account of Marca and soon received support from Liverpool fans and fans from the East thousands of miles away. As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, the media reports of Marca are no different from toilet paper, so many fans agree with Li Qing's statement.

The senior management of Turin Sports Daily, who originally wanted to withdraw Li Qing's eligibility, fell into deep thought and thought that the passage that Li Qing became a favorite was very correct. Li Qing was only sixteen years old and fully met the rules, but... his performance was overwhelming.

With Li Qing being shortlisted for the 25-man list of the European Golden Boy Award, it means that the 2017 European Golden Boy Award has already been won, and the other 24 players have no chance at all!

The reason why Li Qing was angry was that winning the European Golden Boy Award would give him a chance to draw a talent lottery!

Although it is unknown what you will get, it is good to have a talent lottery.

There is a saying of gamblers that is very correct, there is no loss in gambling, that is, as long as there is a chance to draw a lottery, it means there is a chance to get a good reward!

No player under the age of 20 in 2017 performed better than Li Qing, especially when he led England U20 to win the World Youth Championship in the middle of the year, and his winning rate was infinitely close to 100%.

However, the award ceremony of the European Golden Boy Award will not be held until the end of October, so Li Qing will have to wait until a month later to receive the European Golden Boy Award trophy to get the system reward.

The toilet paper media "Marca" was speechless after being criticized by Li Qing and the fans, and had to pretend that nothing happened...

Li Qing, who was nominated for the "European Golden Boy Award", was in a good mood. Four days later, he visited the King Power Stadium to challenge Leicester City, which is currently ranked 15th in the league. He performed extremely well.

The full-time whistle sounded, and the scoreboard showed a score of 2:4.

The home team was in front and the visiting team was behind.

The names of the scorers displayed on the bottom of the scoreboard were Li Qing, Salah, Li Qing, and Li Qing.

In other words... Li Qing performed a hat trick again!

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone, who appeared at the King Power Stadium, frowned. Before the start of the second round of the Champions League group stage, Li Qing, as Liverpool's striker, performed so well that it would mean that his team had a very low chance of defeating Liverpool at home.

Considering Li Qing's high scoring rate against strong teams, Diego Simeone, who had worries, was mentally prepared to play a steady defense and counterattack at home.

Liverpool has two games left in September. First, they will visit Calderon Stadium to challenge Atletico Madrid, and then go to St. James Park to challenge the newly promoted Newcastle United.

No matter which game, it is very important for Liverpool.

Because Manchester United beat Southampton 1:0 away, they were able to continue to rank first in the league with the advantage of goal difference.

Manchester United fans during this period are very happy, feeling like a holiday, the whole city is filled with a happy atmosphere, as if they see the league champion of this season waving to the team they support.

Liverpool fans sneered, if it weren't for the problem of goalkeeper Mignolet, the team they support could tie Manchester United in goal difference!

As time goes by, both Manchester United fans and Liverpool fans focus on the second round of the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week.

Liverpool will challenge Atletico Madrid away, and Manchester United will challenge CSKA Moscow.

There is no doubt that according to the overall strength of the team, it is obviously the Liverpool VS Atletico match that is more interesting. To be precise, Liverpool's Champions League group match at Calderon Stadium is one of the most interesting games in this round.

The other match is between Dortmund and the defending champion Real Madrid at home.

From the schedule, the second round of the group match between Dortmund and Real Madrid will be one day earlier than the group match between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Dortmund, who was at home, finally lost to Real Madrid 1:3, ranking first in the group with two consecutive wins in the group. The losing Dortmund lost to Tottenham in the first round, which means that Dortmund, who has 0 points in two games, will miss the knockout stage of this season's Champions League.

Back to the point, the entire Liverpool team flew to Madrid on Tuesday morning and adapted to the grass of the Calderon Stadium around 4 pm.

Li Qing stepped on the grass of the Calderon Stadium a few times and raised his eyebrows: "This turf is a bit long."

"Any questions?"

Arnold asked curiously.

"Don't you know that too much turf affects the speed at which the football rolls forward?"

Li Qing said speechlessly, and Arnold shrugged his shoulders awkwardly: "I really can't feel it."

In fact, the turf of the Calderon Stadium is not particularly long, it is just a little longer than the turf usually used for football, but it is more obvious when compared with the Etihad Stadium.

Teams that prefer to play ball control on the ground often want the turf to be as short as possible, and even sprinkle a lot of water before the game. Just like when Liverpool challenged Manchester City in the league, the turf at the Etihad Stadium was cut very short. And there is a lot of water sprinkled before the game to make the football roll forward faster.

On the contrary, the longer the turf, the slower the ball speed.

The tactic Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone is good at is defense. The length of the turf at the Calderon Stadium is within the allowable rules. Defending a team like Liverpool that emphasizes passing at the feet will get twice the result with half the effort.

After half an hour of adaptation, Li Qing gradually adapted to the length of the turf at the Calderon Stadium to avoid mistakes in the game tomorrow night at this stadium.

Atletico Madrid drew 0:0 as a guest in the first round of the group stage, and the second round of the group stage at home against Liverpool became unmissable.

In order to stand out from the group of death, Liverpool, who won the first round, must not miss the away game against Atletico Madrid.
