Chapter 28 A little famous

Li Qing scored four goals in the league match against Stoke City U18, which not only made him more famous in Merseyside, but also made him the focus of the Youth Super League this week.

With the advancement of technology, the speed of news dissemination is amazing, but even in this case, no one has heard of a talented boy named Li Qing.

What does this mean?

A genius who suddenly appeared!

Although Li Qing may have just exploded suddenly, who cares about you in the media?

Traffic equals money, you can exaggerate as much as you can, who cares whether you will become a talent in the future?

Of course, conscientious media are not in this category.

In less than half a day, the media investigated the detailed information about Li Qing - he immigrated to Liverpool with his parents since he was a child, entered the Kirkby Youth Training Academy at the age of six, and soon became a talented player of his age. Strangely, his excellent performance came to an abrupt end at the age of eleven.

It is not difficult to know the details of Li Qing's transformation from genius to mediocrity. Many people in Kirkby Youth Academy and Bluecoat Middle School know about Li Qing's experience. The blow of losing both parents at a young age is enough to destroy a genius. Therefore, these media are very curious about why Li Qing has become a genius again after mediocrity, and in a way that stands out from the crowd.

An insider from Kirkby Youth Academy who did not want to reveal his name talked about this on INS, saying that Li Qing bravely walked out of the trough of his personal life and welcomed a new life.

Therefore, Li Qing's sudden emergence has become a very inspiring story...

As the protagonist, Li Qing did not know that his fame had transformed in just two games, from a little-known name in Merseyside to a little-known name in the whole of England.

The Echo, the largest local media in Liverpool, also introduced Li Qing in detail in the youth training column. Liverpool local fans are increasingly appreciating Li Qing and hope that he can become the pride of KOP in the future like Owen, Gerrard and Carragher.

There have been a lot of reports about Li Qing during this period. The top management of Kirkby Youth Academy knew that the temptation outside was very great. It was not a good thing to let Li Qing contact the media too early. Therefore, they chose to refuse interview requests from multiple media, and also asked U18 head coach Neil Critchley to inform Li Qing of the harm of contacting the media too early.

This world has never lacked geniuses. There are countless cases in world football. Those talented players were praised by the media and fans, but reality slapped them in the face.

However, today is different from previous years. The Internet brings people all over the world closer, which means that self-discipline still depends on oneself.

In this regard, Li Qing has a full self-awareness and did not lose himself because of the praise from the media. On the contrary, he is more demanding of himself. In addition to coming to the training ground early for training, he also takes the initiative to stay for extra training after training.

Liverpool fans see this, so they like Li Qing even more.

Of course, Li Qing is only a member of the U18 team now, and the attention he receives is always limited, otherwise... those media will come one after another...

Back to the point, Liverpool U18's last league game in 2016 was at home against Derby County U18.

The overall strength of Derby County U18 is comparable to that of Middlesbrough U18 and Stoke City U18, which they met before. In other words, whoever is in better condition has a higher chance of winning the game, but Liverpool U18's overall strength is higher than the above three teams.

However, Liverpool U18, which has a strength advantage, still needs to show some real skills to win the game, otherwise it is not so easy to win the game.

The Derby County U18 coaching staff obviously worked hard before the game and made targeted deployments for Li Qing, the explosive point, so that Li Qing had a bit of difficulty playing at the beginning of the game.

However, it was just a bit of difficulty, not helpless.

Li Qing's current physical strength value has reached 60, and his physical fitness is in the middle and high level at the U18 youth team level, only slightly worse than the tall and strong central defender. What really affects Li Qing's performance is the relatively complete defense system and extremely high tactical quality of Derby County U18.

Facing Liverpool, which has been in hot form recently, the visiting Derby County U18 has a correct attitude and chooses to defend and counterattack steadily, or to be more precise, to defend and die, and even did not attack once in the first 20 minutes.

Li Qing, who did not use the five-star technical card, is not very delicate at his feet, but his skills, dribbling and ball control averages are in the 60s, which is not weak. It's just that half the field is so big, and the Derby County U18 defense system is targeted, which leads to Li Qing having no chances, but as time goes by, the seemingly solid defense line becomes shaky under Li Qing's continuous attempts to break through.

Because... Li Qing has discovered the loopholes gradually exposed in the Derby County U18 defense system!

Everyone thinks that his technical characteristics are fast speed and strong breakthrough, but in fact, the talent he obtained before [Unobstructed View] made him make a qualitative leap in vision and creativity. The Derby County U18 defensive players fell into inertial thinking and thought that the focus of Liverpool U18's attack would still be on Li Qing.

In fact, the tactics formulated by Neil Critchley were indeed like this.

In the 24th minute, Li Qing, who received the ball, did not break through. He pushed the ball to the middle with the outside of his left foot, swung his left foot, and completed the transfer with his long pass that had not reached the passing line.

Neil Critchley, who was standing in the coaching seat, had his eyes lit up. Although Li Qing's long pass was not particularly accurate, it did not affect the effect. Glennon, who was running forward along the left sideline, received the pass and had enough time to observe.

In this case, the Derby County U18 defensive players suddenly panicked when they saw that their right defense was empty.
