Chapter 271 Take precautions and strive for the first place

The 2017 FIFA Awards Ceremony is over, but the controversy caused by the selection results is not over. Especially for the best team in the world, Real Madrid, which won the league championship and the Champions League, has no problem occupying five of them. The problem is that only the Copa del Rey champion Barcelona still holds three spots, which is puzzling.

The players selected for the annual World's Best Team are naturally all players in the world. As a result, the shortlisted players are limited to La Liga and Serie A. If it were not for Neymar's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, Ligue 1 would not even have a word.

Statistically speaking, the Premier League has received more attention than La Liga and Serie A, especially in terms of entertainment and intensity. It is against this background that the best lineup in the world will inevitably raise questions.

Although Li Qing deleted his Instagram and Twitter, this operation was done more than ten minutes after he posted it, which means that many fans saw Li Qing's tweets and Instagram and took screenshots.

However, Li Qing is not the only one to criticize FIFA's selection, so Li Qing will not be pushed to the forefront by the media.

After all, there are a lot of players and celebrities who question FIFA's selection.

The best lineup in the world is controversial, and the ranking of World Footballer is even more puzzling, arousing heated discussions among major media and fans.

In addition to the Spanish media and Italian media that benefited, authoritative media such as English media, German media, French media, and Dutch media all collectively attacked FIFA's selection mechanism.

Li Qing, who returned to Liverpool, quickly gathered his emotions and prepared for the next home game against Huddersfield. As for the League Cup 1/8 finals, he was not included in the 18-man squad. According to Klopp, such a game is not worthy of the team. The top scorer played.

Leeds United's strength is limited and there is no way to put pressure on Liverpool, which is dominated by substitute players + youth team players. After 90 minutes, Liverpool, which has the home advantage, easily defeated its opponent 3:0.

Liverpool head coach Klopp asked Li Qing to rest in the League Cup. In addition to preparing for the league, there is also the fourth round of the Champions League group stage in Rome early next month.

As long as they win the game at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, they can qualify from Group C two rounds in advance, and they can also secure the first place in the group. No one can refuse such a win.

As a newly promoted team, Huddersfield has actually done quite well so far this season, ranking 12th with 12 points from 9 games, 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. In the last round, they were even more upset. They played at home 2:1. An upset victory over Manchester United.

The Liverpool team, which is at home in this campaign, is very careful not to follow the footsteps of Manchester United.

The Premier League is the most intense league in the world. There are often teams that are relegated, weak teams that are drawn to draws, or teams that are defeated by giants and quasi-rich teams, so there is no harm in being fully prepared.

"Leeeeeeeee——"

Before the start of the game, Liverpool Club held a presentation ceremony for Li Qing. The entire Liverpool fans burst out with loud and violent cheers like a tsunami to welcome the new European Golden Boy Award winner and Puskas Award winner.

The on-site director gave Li Qing a long close-up. Fans sitting in front of the TV could clearly see Li Qing holding the spherical gold-plated European Golden Boy Award trophy in his left hand and the copper Puskas Award trophy in his right hand.

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei looked at Li Qing who was holding the trophy with both hands and said loudly: "I believe that the fans in front of the TV are not only proud but also regretful at this time. The only shortcoming is the inscription of the trophy. In time, I hope that some domestic institutions can To truly contribute to Chinese football, super talents like Li Qing must be in our own hands! At that time... for us, we will be truly proud..."

The fans in front of the TV were deep in thought and worried.

After ninety minutes of fierce fighting, Liverpool defeated Huddersfield 3-0 at home with the help of top scorer Li Qing's brace and Firmino's goal.

Rival Manchester City defeated West Brom 3:2 as a guest, and the difference between them was still 2 points.

In another focus game, Manchester United, which had an upset loss in the last round, defeated Tottenham 1:0 at home, giving the opponent two consecutive losses.

At the end of the weekend league, the focus of the Liverpool team quickly shifted to the Champions League guest challenge to Roma in the fourth round of the group stage. According to the current Group C points form, Liverpool can lock in the group first as long as they win. This is still needed for the future. Liverpool's focus on domestic leagues is extremely attractive.

Locking in the first place in the group in advance means that the remaining two group matches, a visit to Karabakh and a home game against Atletico Madrid, can give the team a very relaxed preparation environment!

The Premier League will speed up in December, especially the Christmas devil schedule. Many teams often have to play at least three high-intensity games within a week. Coupled with the League Cup, the schedule will be even more intensive.

Liverpool head coach Klopp looked at the team's upcoming schedule and frowned deeply.

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

Starting from the end of the international break in November, the team will play double matches in consecutive weeks until the end of the Christmas Devil schedule.

From the home game against Southampton on November 18 to January 1, 2018, a total of 14 games will be played in 43 days, which averages to one game every three days.

So scary!

Klopp, who was looking at the schedule, was wondering if he could give up the League Cup quarter-finals in December?

As a head coach who likes to pursue victory, Klopp does not want to give up any game, so his idea is to visit Rome in the fourth round of the group stage.

The day before the game, that is, at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, the entire Liverpool team took a flight from John Lennon Airport to Rome's Fiumicino Airport.

Just coming out of the airport, in addition to the Liverpool fans who had arrived early, holding high banners and slogans and making loud shouts, there were even more local Roma fans who booed, and many Roma fans even shouted insulting words.

Li Qing and most of the Liverpool players raised their eyebrows, thinking that the Roma fans were too rude.

For this reason, there were conflicts between Liverpool fans and Roma fans. If the airport security personnel were not sufficient, otherwise the situation would probably escalate further.

The whole Liverpool team is working hard, thinking of giving the home team Roma some color in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage tomorrow night, so as to let Roma fans know that some people cannot be offended casually.

The whole team was adapting to the venue that afternoon. Roma's home stadium is the Stadio Olimpico, not a professional stadium, but a comprehensive stadium. The stadium is the most important stadium in Rome and can accommodate up to 105,000 fans, of which 80,000 are seats and 25,000 are standing fans. seats.

Taking into account safety factors in the Champions League, standing seats in any stadium cannot be sold as tickets. This means that the maximum number of fans in Rome's Olympic Stadium in the Champions League is 85,000 fans.
