Chapter 448 Be Prepared

There is still an hour before the start of the game, and the Luzhniki Stadium, which can accommodate 81,000 fans, can be said to be full. Even if there are free seats, they are occupied by arriving fans at a speed visible to the naked eye, making it truly full.

"aoaoaooaoaoooooooo——"

The indispensable fanatical atmosphere before the game, the fanatical fans of the two teams created a tsunami of violent cheers and cheers, setting off the atmosphere of the first semi-final of the 2018 World Cup in Russia in advance.

Compared to England fans and Belgian fans, who each came with more than 20,000 fans, there were more neutral fans.

The World Cup is a carnival festival for fans all over the world. In addition to giving some tickets to participating teams, most of the tickets are targeted at fanatical fans around the world in order to stimulate the domestic tourism market.

With the rapid development of China's economy and the improvement of national living standards, more and more wealthy people are becoming rich. The World Cup held every four years is naturally a festival that many wealthy Chinese people do not want to miss. In addition, the World Cup has Li As a Chinese like Qing is proud to participate in the competition, he naturally has to be there in person to support him.

As a result, a large number of Chinese fans holding Chinese flags appeared in the main and auxiliary stands of the Luzhniki Stadium to cheer for England.

"Li Qing! Li Qing! Li Qing!"

England players came to the stadium from the tunnel to warm up one after another. When the familiar white No. 10 appeared in sight, a large number of Chinese fans in the main stand chanted Li Qing's name hysterically.

Li Qing stopped in place as he listened to the familiar Chinese language. He turned around and looked at the red color that made him proud. He smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Seeing Li Qing's response, those Chinese fans who greeted him felt even more honored, and even felt that it was worth the ticket price. The voices that broke out became louder and louder, almost resounding throughout the entire Luzhniki Stadium: "aoaooaooaooooooooo ——”

A large number of reporters who came to the mixed area in advance picked up their cameras and kept taking pictures of the handsome Li Qing. There was an endless stream of 'clicks'.

For this reason, Li Qing was also very fortunate that he had specially styled his hair before warming up, which made him look handsome.

Belgium head coach Martinez was intensively making final tactical preparations in the locker room, as was England head coach Southgate. Their respective assistants came to the sidelines to watch the mental state of the opponent's core players.

Former France international and Arsenal star Henry came to the sidelines as Martinez's assistant. He looked at Li Qing with a solemn expression.

Li Qing has scored 13 goals in the past five games and contributed 82.3% of England's goals. From a restriction point of view, if Li Qing is well defended, it will be very difficult for England to score goals. The problem is that Li Qing never scores a goal. He has never been restricted since his debut, averaging more than two goals per game.

Li Qing also only scored one goal in many games, but according to Li Qing, it was because the opponent was not strong enough. If he scored too many goals, he would be suspected of overstating the goal statistics. In order to avoid the media making random remarks, he could only score against a strong opponent. When we are in the team, we can exert 100% combat effectiveness.

At this time, the head coaches of both sides got their opponents' starting lineup. England was still in its usual 343 formation, with goalkeeper Pickford, defenders Maguire, Stones and Kyle Walker, midfielders Ashley Young, Henderson, Loftus-Cheek and Alexander-Arnold, forwards Sterling, Harry Kane and Li Qing.

Belgium's starting lineup is 4321, with goalkeeper Courtois, defenders Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Kompany and Meunier, midfielders Fellaini, Witsel and Dembélé, Hazard and De Browne serves as a double attacking midfielder, with Lukaku as the striker.

What’s interesting is that England’s starting lineup for this game has the lowest average age since the start of the World Cup in Russia. The average age is only 22.3 years old. Except for Ashley Young, who was born in the 1980s, the other ten players are all in their 90s. After that, Loftus-Cheek, Arnold and even those born in 1996, but the most perverted one is Li Qing. After 2000, the youngest player in this World Cup is also the most dazzling star in this World Cup.

The World Cup semi-final between England and Belgium is attractive to Chinese fans. In addition to having Chinese players like Li Qing on the field, there are also foreign players playing in the Chinese Super League among the Belgian players.

Of course, the main player that Chinese fans pay attention to is Li Qing. The players who play for the Chinese Super League can only be said to have the same feelings and are completely incomparable.

Martinez frowned when he got England's starting lineup. He thought England would continue to use the starting lineup to face Brazil. As a result, he made a key adjustment in the central midfielder. Loftus-Cheek, who had never started before, replaced Dier and became the starting lineup. The biggest surprise in the world.

Chick is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 88. He is not slow in attack and has distinctive characteristics. He is very good at dribbling, long shots and short passes. His shortcomings are his lack of cross passing ability from the side and weak defensive enthusiasm, that is, It is said that Southgate let Loftus-Cheek start the game entirely to allow him to display his offensive talents!

"Does this mean a forceful attack?"

Martinez frowned when he thought of this. If this is the case, England's offense will be continuous like a tide.

Coupled with Sterling, Harry Kane and Li Qing, it is very likely that they will take the lead at the Luzhniki Stadium. When the time comes, they will be eager to equalize the score. England will use defensive counterattack tactics. Li Qing counterattacks with the ball many times and goes straight to Huanglong. …

"NO!"

Martinez shook his head. It is definitely possible to score first against England, but the greater possibility is to lose the ball first.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to make two preparations. If his side kicks off first, he will start the game, and if England kicks off first, he will focus on defensive counterattacks.

England head coach Southgate's idea is very simple, which is to promote Li Qing to get the ball and score goals as much as possible. He sent Loftus-Cheek largely to cover Li Qing on the wing and give him a chance to challenge Vertonghen.

With Li Qing's super personal ability, breaking through Vertonghen is just a matter of time.

…

There are about ten minutes left before the start of the game. The starting players of both sides are standing in the tunnel, waiting to come out, while the substitute players go straight into the court and sit on their respective benches.

Many Belgian players play in the Premier League and are very familiar with the English players, so they naturally chatted with each other before the game.

The only Belgian player who played for Liverpool was goalkeeper Mignolet. Li Qing wanted to chat but couldn't find anyone because Mignolet said hello to him and went straight into the stadium. In the end, he just asked Arnold to talk a few words. .

Before the start of the World Cup semi-final between England and Belgium, Li Qing and Hazard have been constantly being compared by the world's major media. Li Qing is happy to see them, but Hazard is very disgusted.

Who makes his statistics fall behind in all aspects?

The game is about to start, and the live director's close-up shots are naturally given to the core players of the two teams.

Li Qing stood at the back of the team with an indifferent expression, while Azar had his trademark frown and stood at the front of the team without squinting.

After a while, the Uruguayan referee team led the players of both sides from the tunnel to the court.

"aooaooaooaoooooooo——"

When the players from both sides led the caddy to the tunnel, loud and violent shouts like a tsunami rang out over the Luzhniki Stadium.

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "The players from both sides have arrived at the stadium, and the World Cup semi-finals are getting closer and closer to us! I wonder if the viewers in front of the TV are as impatient as me?"
