Chapter 535: No Golden Boy Award
Li Qing was replaced by Origi. Chelsea should have scored several goals in high spirits to equalize the score or even take the lead. However, the shock brought by Li Qing's four direct free kicks was too great. There was nothing the Chelsea players could do. Recover quickly from a low mood.
At the end of four minutes of injury time, referee Anthony Taylor blew his whistle, signaling the end of the seventh round of the 2018-2019 Premier League season.
"Beep~beep~beep~~"
"Game over! Game over!"
China Channel 5 commentator He Wei shouted almost crazy: "The visiting team Liverpool defeated Chelsea 4:1 at Stamford Bridge with Li Qing's four direct free kicks in the first and second half, winning the league's first seven consecutive victories and continuing to hold their head high. First in the league!”
The broadcast screen quickly showed Li Qing, and he saw many Liverpool players rushing over to share this 'hard-won' victory.
If there is no Li Qing in this game, Liverpool may not lose at Stamford Bridge, but at least it is likely to be a draw. Even if there is no Li Qing, Liverpool's top spot this season will no longer exist.
But no one thought about this issue at this time, because the emotions brought about by Liverpool's victory over Chelsea as a guest were uncontrollable. Every Liverpool fan was celebrating crazily, while Chelsea fans kept sighing sadly.
BBC commentator Lineker was ecstatic: "Lee, who has performed well, has too many nicknames, a strong team killer, and the youngest record. Under his leadership, Liverpool has achieved 61 rounds of unbeaten, and will be in charge in the next round." Facing Manchester City at the Field Stadium, the home team Liverpool will surely achieve at least an unbeaten record due to his outstanding performance, and may even win the game! "
"Manchester City fans in front of the TV don't need to be sad, because this emotion is in vain. As Melo gets older, Li will be destined to dominate all the glory in world football at this stage. Even if Melo is at his peak, it will be very difficult to come. It’s hard to compete with him! The new World Footballer is invincible!”
At the regular press conference after the game, the home team coach Maurizio Sarri showed a helpless expression in front of the media reporters for the first time. He said frankly: "I used to think Leo Messi was the best player on the planet until In the just-concluded Premier League focus match, it turns out that... Li is the most terrifying player in world football today. His ability... is no longer suitable for professional football at this stage. He should go to the solar system and participate in higher-level football. Tournament!”
Even the media reporters who support Chelsea couldn't help but laugh. This... is clearly a way of bragging about Li Qing!
The media reporters who supported Liverpool and were optimistic about Li Qing laughed outright. I bet Sarri was changing his direction and praising Li Qing. When these words from Sarri appeared on social platforms, a large number of fans began to call Li Qing the leader. Inker said that Sarri is the real leader.
When Lineker received the fanx-on: message on INS, he rolled his eyes and snorted coldly. He kept pressing English letters on the screen of his mobile phone with his fingers. The translated meaning was: I am the leader of the Li Qing Cult! No one can rob me!
Liverpool fans and neutral fans were happy to see Sarri play Li Qing in a fancy way, but Chelsea fans were very unhappy. As the head coach of Chelsea, how could Sarri play Li Qing in a fancy way?
Some Chelsea executives even expressed their dissatisfaction with Sarri. In their view, this was a sign of cowardice.
After seven league rounds at the beginning of the season, being five points behind Liverpool is not irreversible. In the 2016-2017 season, didn't Liverpool overtake the points and win the first league championship in team history despite being ten points behind?
…
Time passes day by day, and the focus of the British media has focused on the rekindled Champions League group stage. Next week, Liverpool will face Manchester City at home for the Premier League top spot.
But before that, two consecutive updates on the official website of Torino Sport, the largest media in Turin, Italy, attracted the attention of fans around the world.
The first is that the European Golden Boy Award founded by "Turin Sports" announced a list of 40 candidates. What is surprising is that Li Qing, who won the European Golden Boy Award last year, did not appear in this detailed candidate list. The list is led by Mbappe, Trent Alexander-Arnold and De Ligt.
Four players born in the 2000s were selected, namely Real Madrid Vinicius, Manchester City Foden, Juventus Gene and Liverpool Curtis Jones. In addition, the famous European players Cutrone, Danault, Achraf, Felix and Pulisic are among them.
Many media believe that the 2018 European Golden Boy Award is likely to be won by Li Qing. As a result, Li Qing, who is eligible for selection, was not selected for the roster, which means that he is not qualified to select the 2018 European Golden Boy Award.
The British media, the Chinese media and many media around the world were confused and asked the European Golden Boy Awards Organizing Committee to give a reasonable explanation until they saw the second update from Turin Sports News. That's when I came up with the idea.
According to the official statement of "Turin Sports News", Li Qing is already a mature player. He was even elected as the FIFA Best Men's Player of the Year not long ago. His strength is obviously no longer within the scope of the Golden Boy Award. It means that Li Qing should To compete for the Ballon d'Or for "France Football".
The implication is very obvious. Li Qing's abilities are recognized by media and fans around the world. Once included in the selection, being selected means that other young players will become mere foils, and may even dampen the enthusiasm of young players.
If Li Qing, who was preparing for the second round of the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, had not noticed the media reports, he would have forgotten that today was the day when the "Torino Sports Daily" announced the list of 40 candidates for the European Golden Ball Award.
Although this honor had been won last year, no one would think that the honor was too much, so he was a little depressed. But then again, the official statement of "Torino Sports Daily" made Li Qing feel more satisfied. He is now a player of another level. It is unfair to compete for the Golden Boy Award again.
The Chinese APP "Dongqiudi" has attracted great attention in a short period of time. Many good-looking fans are talking about young players with high salaries and low abilities.
"They are all born in the 2000s, why is the gap so big? "
" The sadness of those born in 1998 is not as good as those born in 2000! "
" The glory of Chinese football is supported by the Chinese in England. It is simply a monkey in a crown! 》
……
Two days passed in a flash, Liverpool challenged Hoffenheim as a guest, and the confrontation between the two German head coaches became one of the focuses of the game. However, the young coach Nagelsmann was still a little immature, and his tactical adaptability was far behind Klopp. In addition, the gap between the players was a bit large, and even if he did a lot of work before the game, he could not make up for the gap in strength.
After 90 minutes of the game, Liverpool beat the home team Hoffenheim 3-0 at the Rhein-Neckar Arena with goals from Li Qing, Firmino and Salah, and won two consecutive victories in the 2018-2019 Champions League group stage.
