Chapter 277 Peak Showdown

"He's just a kid."

Li Qing, who took the flight back to Liverpool, was speechless when he saw the media reports, especially when he translated this sentence into Chinese.

In China, it is usually the parents who find excuses for naughty children when they make mistakes. Now, in Li Qing's case, it has become the key point to criticize Nainggolan for his malicious foul.

Nainggolan is the most severely criticized by the domestic media in England. Next year will be the World Cup in Russia. As the current local shooter with the strongest scoring ability in the England national team, he must be loved by thousands of people. Those who originally had a grudge against Liverpool The English media united at this time to jointly attack Nainggolan.

The well-known "Post", "Echo" and "The Times" even called on UEFA and the Premier League to protect Li Qing, just like FIFA called on everyone to protect Messi.

After all, there is no other player like Li Qing in the world who can average two goals per game, so he must be protected, otherwise those football villains with low personal qualities will commit malicious fouls unscrupulously, thus Leading to the premature death of genius.

Such cases have happened countless times in world football, so it is easy to resonate with fans around the world.

Nainggolan never dreamed that he would become a public enemy of the world just for venting his emotions, and he was extremely depressed.

Of course, this is just an appeal from the media. It is unknown whether it will eventually be recognized by the FA, UEFA and FIFA.

The two Champions League matchdays ended in mid-week. In addition to Liverpool qualifying two rounds ahead of schedule, Manchester United, who also won four consecutive victories in Group A, qualified ahead of schedule. However, Manchester United is not as lucky as Liverpool. They have to wait until the end of the fifth round to secure the top spot in the group. , Group B Paris Saint-Germain also won four consecutive victories in the group, beating Bayern to become first in the group.

No team in Group D will qualify in advance, but Barcelona and Juventus, who are obviously staying strong, will most likely occupy two qualifying places. The situation in Group E is the same as that in Group D. In Group F, Manchester City won four consecutive victories and qualified in advance. Group Besiktas and Group H Tottenham both qualified early.

It is equivalent to saying that the five teams in the Premier League participating in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2017-2018 season (top four in the Premier League + Europa League champion Manchester United), except Chelsea, the other four teams have all qualified from the group early and can fully focus on the league.

Of course, if energy were not limited, the other four Premier League teams participating in the Champions League besides Liverpool would still try their best to get first in each group, thereby avoiding strong teams in the 1/8 finals.

The guest London Bowl game is Liverpool's last game before the international break in November. In the past 10 rounds of the Premier League in the 2017-2018 season, Liverpool ranks first in the league with 9 wins, 1 draw and 28 points. Manchester City has 8 wins and 2 draws. Ranked second with 26 points, Manchester United ranked third with 23 points with 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, Tottenham ranked fourth with 20 points with 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, Chelsea and Arsenal ranked 5th and 6th with 19 points respectively.

In the 11th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season, there are two high-profile dialogues, Manchester City VS Arsenal and Chelsea VS Manchester United.

In the direct confrontation between the top six in the Premier League, Liverpool and Tottenham can be said to be watching the battle from the sidelines, challenging West Ham United as a guest and facing Crystal Palace at home respectively.

Liverpool's rival West Ham United had a large number of signings at the beginning of the season, but their performance was very poor. After 10 rounds, they only scored 9 points and ranked 16th, only two points more than Everton, which ranked third from the bottom.

The Premier League has enough attention for two focus games. Manchester City VS Arsenal and Chelsea VS Manchester United are played in two different time periods. Liverpool's guest challenge to West Ham United is the last game played on Saturday. The matches, Manchester City VS Arsenal and Chelsea VS Manchester United are the first and last games on Sunday.

The London Bowl is a common name in Chinese. Its original name is the London Olympic Stadium. It is not unique to West Ham United. It is the main venue of the 2012 London Olympics. It has 80,000 seats and is owned by the City of London. West Ham United owns Empson Park. The stadium has a history of 113 years and is no longer suitable for the future development of the team, so it moved into the London Bowl, which can accommodate 80,000 fans, starting last season.

The stadium is big enough, but the London Bowl has a plastic track and the auditorium is too far away from the stadium. The atmosphere of the stadium will definitely be affected. In addition, West Ham United's influence in London is not as good as top teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham. Therefore, since moving into the London Bowl, the stadium has never been full.

The entire Liverpool team just finished a game against Roma at the Rome Olympic Stadium. They feel very familiar with a comprehensive stadium like the London Bowl and have no discomfort. Li Qing, who scored four goals in the Rome Olympic Stadium, performed well. One of his goals The ball and an assist helped Liverpool win the game 4:1 as a guest.

Liverpool, who played a game first, expanded their advantage in the standings to five points. However, Liverpool's five-point advantage did not last long. Manchester City defeated Arsenal 3:1 at the Etihad Stadium, and the lead instantly returned to two points. The last game of the round satisfied both Liverpool and Manchester City. Chelsea defeated Manchester United 1:0 at Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool is only 2 points ahead of Manchester City, but is 8 points ahead of Manchester United. This makes a Liverpool fan very happy. I think before the start of the Double Red Club, Liverpool was still behind Manchester United on goal difference. Now it's better, just a few days later. Leading by eight points after the round!

As the defending league champion, Liverpool fans are sincerely excited!

According to Liverpool's overall state, winning the Premier League in the 2017-2018 season is not a problem!

With the 11th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season coming to an end, the two international match days in November have arrived, which are also the last two international match days in 2017.

England qualified for next year's World Cup in Russia early. The Football Association arranged two warm-up matches for the national team on the international match day in November, namely Germany and Brazil.

Li Qing performed brilliantly in the final league and Champions League, and was naturally selected into the England squad to prepare for the two peak matches.

Although the two games are warm-up matches, players from both sides will use real weapons to some extent. The World Cup in Russia will kick off next June. Some players have not yet been able to ensure their inclusion in the final 23-man roster. In this rare warm-up match, Here, naturally you have to perform well.

Players like Li Qing and Harry Kane, who are among the top scorers in the Premier League, do not need to be assessed, so Li Qing will come on as a substitute in Southgate's plan, and his game time is relatively limited.

In fact, this has something to do with the exchange between Liverpool Club and the Football Association. With the end of the international match day in November, Liverpool will face a devilish schedule of 14 games in 43 days.

An average of one game every three days. As Liverpool's top scorer, Li Qing naturally has to ensure his health.
