Chapter 138 Patriotism is the deepest national spirit

Liverpool defeated Everton 3:1 at home, which means that they are only 5 points behind Chelsea, the leader in the first round. If they continue to win in the make-up match against Burnley at home, the difference between them will be only two points. point!

Of course, these two points are based on Chelsea's home defeat to Crystal Palace.

Chelsea is at the top of the league, and Crystal Palace is ranked 16th in the league, only four points ahead of the relegation circle. This means that the possibility of Crystal Palace defeating Chelsea as a guest is very small.

However, many Liverpool fans began to pray, hoping that Crystal Palace, which was under pressure from relegation, would break out into a 200% fighting capacity.

One of the biggest highlights of the Premier League is that weak teams often show unexpected fighting power in desperate situations to defeat the wealthy teams. This kind of game will be staged in the Premier League every season. Therefore, Liverpool fans have become Crystal Palace fans and support Crystal Palace was a surprise guest.

Chelsea fans scoffed and dismissed it.

The team they support has only lost two games against Crystal Palace in the past 18 league games. The two sides have met 15 times in the Premier League. Chelsea has the absolute upper hand with 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.

Chelsea took the lead in the 5th minute of the game. Unexpectedly, in the next six minutes, Liverpool's old player Benteke made a pass and shot, helping Crystal Palace overtake Chelsea 2:1.

Naturally, Chelsea, who were in a good league situation, would not admit defeat easily and stepped up their offensive. However, the score remained unchanged for more than 70 minutes. In the end... Crystal Palace upset the top team Chelsea as a guest.

Liverpool head coach Klopp and the players were very excited watching the live TV broadcast. With Chelsea's loss, the team was only five points behind Chelsea with one game less. If they beat Burnley in the make-up, the difference would be even greater. There will be only two points left!

Chelsea’s remaining eight league opponents include Manchester City and the likes of Southampton and Everton. On the other hand, Liverpool’s and Burnley’s remaining eight opponents are not strong. With only the FA Cup left to play, it is entirely possible for Liverpool to win a winning streak...

Chelsea will face Manchester City at home in the next round, and will challenge Manchester United as a guest in the 33rd round. As long as one of the two games loses points, then... Liverpool will have a chance to overtake the points!

The local media and fans of Liverpool were very excited. They seemed to see the first league championship since the establishment of the Premier League waving to them!

Klopp, who was in a good mood, gave the team two days off so that the players could face the rest of the league with a better mental outlook.

Li Qing attended Lanyi Middle School in the morning and was going to Melwood for extra training in the afternoon. After lunch, he unexpectedly received a call from his agent Mendes.

The reason why it was unexpected was that the reason for the call was unpredictable.

According to Mendez, a man who claimed to be deputy director of the Football Association Office, Cheng Yong, wanted to make an appointment to meet to discuss naturalization matters.

The reason I can't guess is that during the international match day, the Football Association has held a press conference at the Imperial Capital headquarters, saying that it has no intention to naturalize foreign players with blood?

Why did the deputy director of the Football Association office come to visit me?

Is he a liar?

Thinking of this, he used Baidu to search for the deputy director of the Football Association Office, and found that there really was a deputy director named Chen Yong, but he was ranked relatively low.

Later, Li Qing sent Mendes a photo of Chen Yong to confirm, and Mendes replied that it was this person.

After a brief thought, he decided to meet the deputy director of the office.

Participating in the World Cup is important, but being a human being is even more important.

…

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qing saw Mendes, Chen Yong, deputy director of the Football Association Office, and two young people he did not know at a Starbucks in downtown Liverpool.

Mendes has a high emotional intelligence and took the initiative to leave after Li Qing arrived, leaving time for Li Qing, Chen Yong and the two officers.

Chen Yong looks like a standard official. He is about forty years old. He wears a pair of glasses, his hair is three-quarter length, and he has a big belly. Sitting there, he gives people a sense of calm and self-power. Just be a leader who is used to it.

Mendes had already ordered coffee for several people, and Li Qing sat across from him, looking at Chen Yong calmly.

Chen Yong raised his eyebrows slightly. Logically speaking, shouldn't the young man sitting opposite him be flattering his leader when he sees him?

He felt relieved when he thought that the other party was a sixteen-year-old young man without a father or mother. He winked at the two officers, and they stood up in tacit agreement and walked out.

Li Qing raised his eyebrows, vaguely feeling that what the other party said was a bit secretive.

Chen Yong showed a smile that he thought was amiable and said: "Xiao Li, right? I am Chen Yong, the deputy director of the Football Association Office. Don't be so nervous. Don't call me Director Chen or anything like that in private. You can just call me Uncle Chen." "

The corner of Li Qing's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in his heart: "Young master, I never thought of calling you, I am so self-righteous!"

But what he said was another sentence: "Uncle Chen, I wonder what you want to see me for?"

Chen Yong looked at Li Qing with a half-smile, still smiling like a tiger, and got straight to the point: "There is currently no intention within the Football Association to naturalize Chinese players."

"Then... why are you here in Liverpool looking for me?"

"I am the deputy director of the office. If you are willing, I can apply to my superiors."

Chen Yong said calmly, rubbing the thumb and index finger of his right hand twice as if nothing had happened.

How could Li Qing not see what the other party meant?

This... is a benefit!

But he was a sixteen-year-old boy now, and he shouldn't know so much about worldly matters. He asked in confusion: "Uncle Chen, didn't you say that there is no intention to naturalize Chinese players within the Football Association? Then why do you apply to your superiors?"

Chen Yong smiled and said: "Methods are thought up by people. If...I say if you can contribute 50% of your income to the Football Association every year like Yao Ming did to cultivate youth training talents, I don't think there is any reason for the Football Association's senior management to do so." Reject a high-level Chinese player who has his motherland at heart."

Hearing this, Li Qing already knew what the other party was planning?

He smiled and said nothing, and Chen Yong continued: "By the way...this 40% belongs to the Football Association, and the remaining 10%, as Uncle Chen's hard work, should be very reasonable, right?"

Li Qing's pupils shrank and he no longer had any interest in listening to him anymore. He refused directly: "This is impossible."

"Xiao Li, your nationality is the most difficult to apply for on this planet. Once you pass this village, you won't be able to find this store. You have to think carefully about it."

The smile on Chen Yong's face dropped a lot, and there was a faint threatening tone in his words.

Regardless of whether it was before or after time travel, he hated threats the most. He said coldly: "I care about the motherland and want to complete naturalization. On behalf of the men's football team, if I have to use this dirty method to restore my nationality, I would rather don't want!"

"Then you'll never get nationality!"

Chen Yong stopped pretending and crossed his arms, looking like he was sure of victory.

Li Qing stood up, supported the table with both hands, and looked at the other person condescendingly: "My parents are human beings, and I am also a human being. Patriotism is the national spirit deep in my heart. In this case, I will love my country in my own way."

After that, he ignored the other party and walked out directly.
