Chapter 621 Pressure

On the evening of the 22nd local time in the United Arab Emirates, the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi was almost full. More than 40,000 people poured into the stadium to watch the Club World Cup final between Liverpool and Al Ain.

Because tonight’s game includes the host team, the stands at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi tonight are basically full of fans of the host team.

Of course, the die-hard Liverpool fans still grabbed some seats, but compared with the Emirati people present, they seemed much less.

But this does not affect the Liverpool fans who desperately cheer for the team they support. The day before the game, at the Liverpool team's press conference, a photo of Li Qing yawning appeared on the front pages of major media newspapers.

Almost all the media used headlines such as ‘Liverpool’s star disdains his opponents and is so bored that he yawns when asked about them’, which aroused countless people’s expectations for tonight’s game.

As for the Al Ain team, when they were interviewed by the news, the whole team seemed to share the same hatred and hatred, saying that they must make the Liverpool team stumble and keep the Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

It is worth mentioning that there is also an island player named Shiotani in the Al Ain team. Coincidentally, this player is also the absolute main force of Al Ain.

What's more coincidental is that Tsukasa Shiotani is also a defender, so he has become the target of many media and reporters competing for interviews.

Shiotani also boasted in the interview that he would counterattack Liverpool and set a record for Asian teams, and claimed that if he faced Li Qing in the game, he would freeze the opponent without mercy.

Shiotani's words excited countless on-site interview media. Although the game had not started yet, it created a topic before the game, and it was a topic created by one of the team's absolute main players, which naturally attracted the attention of all parties.

Of course, the Al Ain team itself was full of topics in this Club World Cup. After all, Al Ain reached the final from the qualifying rounds. The South American champion team River Plate fell to them in the semi-finals.

In the just-concluded third-place final, River Plate defeated Kashima Antlers 4-0 and became third in this Club World Cup, which aroused the imagination of more people.

Almost everyone expected that the Kashima Antlers lost to the team. The Kashima Antlers, who were completely kicked by Liverpool and doubted their life, could only lose four goals to River Plate. This has surprised many people.

Based on this, Al Ain defeated River Plate, so can we say that Al Ain is an opponent on the same level as Liverpool in terms of strength.

Al Ain's three games in the Club World Cup are indeed worthy of praise, especially their defense, which is called the strongest defense in this Club World Cup.

So some good people hailed this game as 'The world's strongest spear collides with the world's strongest shield'.

But when the Liverpool and Al Ain players, together with the referee team for this game, walked out of the tunnel, everyone was stunned. Li Qing was not seen in the Liverpool queue. Where did Li Qing go?

When the audience found Li Qing yawning on the Liverpool bench, the fans in the stands made an uproar.

What a joke, Li Qing didn't play. In such an important game for Liverpool, the star player actually became a substitute. This is Chi Guoguo's contempt for Al Ain, which cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.

Therefore, from the first minute of the game, boos resounded at the Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. As long as a Liverpool player holds the ball, there will be non-stop boos.

Li Qing was sitting on the bench and heard the boos from the court. He just wanted to yawn, but he couldn't help but yawned, and was looked at by Klopp.

"Lee, go warm up and wake up!" The Liverpool coach was a little angry. He had been yawning every day for several days, right? In this case, go ahead and warm up and sober yourself up!

"Huh?" Li Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but when he saw Klopp's uncontroversial expression, he quickly jumped up from the bench, took three steps at a time to the warm-up area on the sidelines, and started running slowly to warm up.

"wowoowowoooooooo——"

When it was discovered that Li Qing was warming up on the sidelines, the entire stadium almost uniformly let out a burst of exclamations, which startled the players playing on the court and even Li Qing.

"What happened? Who scored a goal?" Li Qing looked towards the field and found that the ball was at the feet of his teammates. He couldn't help but look towards the stands in surprise, and suddenly understood who the exclamation just now was for.

Although everyone knows that the game has only started for ten minutes, no head coach will choose to make substitutions at this time, except of course the previous coach of the Kashima Antlers.

But Li Qing's sudden appearance in the warm-up gave almost everyone at the scene a wrong signal, thinking that Klopp was showing dissatisfaction to the players on the field. If anyone did not perform well, he would be replaced with Li Qing immediately. Come down!

Shaqiri, who replaced Li Qing in this game, was holding a lot of energy in his stomach. He finally got such a chance to start in an important game. He would not let himself be replaced by Li Qing under any circumstances. Go down.

The players on the field in Al Ain were a little stupid. Although they said before the game that they were not afraid of Liverpool or Li Qing and wanted to freeze Li Qing on the field, in fact they all knew that Liverpool and Li Qing were not So easy to deal with.

It had only been ten minutes of the game, and the Al Ain players on the field were already feeling greater pressure than in previous games.

You can talk nonsense, but strength cannot be made up for by talking. In the ten minutes of playing against Liverpool, the entire Al Ain team felt the pressure exerted on them by the Liverpool team.

On weekdays, it is never as difficult for the Al Ain team to face any opponent as it is now, even when they encounter River Plate.

Coach Al Ain was walking back and forth a little irritably on the sidelines. The situation on the court made his heart beat violently and his body temperature increased uncontrollably. He didn't even notice that he was sweating profusely. The clothes on his back were soaked with sweat.

It had only been less than thirteen minutes, and the Al Ain players on the field were already in trouble.

In the past, at most two or three moves could deceive the opponent into breaking through. This did not happen once in this game. If the Al Ain team wants to advance into Liverpool's half, it will have to spend more than usual. Time and energy.

Looking at the beads of sweat on the faces of the players on the field, Al Ain's head coach understood that if the situation continued like this, his team might not be able to last even in the first half.

What's damning is that Liverpool's coach asked Li Qing, the team's top scorer, to come out to warm up. This is undoubtedly putting greater mental pressure on his players on the court!
