Chapter 626 Winning the Prize

The UAE fans in the stands were silent, while Liverpool fans cheered loudly. Two extreme scenes were presented in the stands of the entire stadium.

But no matter what, the game is over. In fact, it is not difficult to accept this result, after all, the strength is there.

Although Al Ain had boasted before the game that he would counterattack Liverpool, the result was the same as Kashima Antlers, which proved that the gap between Asian club teams and European champion teams is still very large.

Moreover, the referee's penalty scale in this game was actually very biased towards the host. Mane's powerful shot before was definitely scored, but the Red Army, which was eaten by a wonderful goal, still had an absolute advantage on the field and solved the opponent.

And this game was the first Club World Cup trophy won by the Champions League champion Liverpool, and it also made Liverpool the first English team to win the Champions League, European Super Cup and Club World Cup in the same year.

This is a great feat that all English teams have failed to accomplish after the reform of the Champions League. Chelsea and Manchester United have never done this.

It is worth mentioning that Manchester United even gave up the opportunity to defend the FA Cup in order to win the first Club World Cup in the millennium, but still failed to do so. More than ten years later, Liverpool did it!

Then the stadium staff quickly built the podium that had been prepared long ago. FIFA head Infantino, host football association officials, Liverpool heads and sponsor officials walked onto the field to present awards to the winning teams and individuals.

The first award was a commemorative medal for the final referee team, followed by trophies and medals for individual players in this Club World Cup.

Liverpool captain Henderson won the Bronze Ball Award, Mane won the Silver Ball Award, and Li Qing won the Golden Ball Award, which also set a new record in the Club World Cup. Three players from the same club won all individual trophies and medals.

Liverpool head Tom Werner was delighted and hugged the three team members warmly on the podium. The UAE Football Association officials could only watch with envy.

Then Li Qing also won the best player award specially set by the sponsor, followed by the team awards. The first award was the medal for the third place in this Club World Cup.

The River Plate team, which defeated the Kashima Antlers, went on the field to receive the bronze medal, and then took a group photo. Then the entire Liverpool team lined up to send the Al Ain team to the field to receive the silver medal.

The Al Ain team, which lost to its opponent, had a dejected expression.

Of course, if it were any other team, losing the game by a large score in almost their home field, under the eyes of all the football association officials, anyone would feel frustrated.

However, the award-giving officials of the UAE seemed very generous, hugging and presenting medals to almost every player of Al Ain.

Finally, it was the moment for the champion Liverpool team to go up to the podium to receive their medals and trophies.

Li Qing and Mane walked in front, talking and laughing. In addition to the silver and bronze medals, the Liverpool team almost had a grand slam today, and all the medals and trophies that could be awarded in the Club World Cup were in their hands.

So when they walked up to the podium, the officials of the UAE were obviously unwilling to continue to maintain their demeanor. They almost did not present awards to the Liverpool players, and even the polite handshakes were very limited.

But what does it matter? When FIFA head Infantino handed the Club World Cup trophy to Liverpool captain Henderson, the entire Liverpool team became the focus of the stadium.

The fireworks originally prepared for the host were set off for the Liverpool team. The entire Liverpool team held up the championship trophy, cheered on the court, and shared this happy moment with the fans.

After the game, Li Qing also won a Toyota sedan again because he won the best player in the final. However, Li Qing gave the car to his teammates as soon as he received the award. He really had no interest in Japanese cars, even if they were free.

Then it was time for a grand celebration, because this was the first time Liverpool had ever won the Club World Cup trophy. Therefore, in the next few days, Liverpool officials will discuss with relevant parties of the English Football Association whether to display the trophy at home in the next round of the league.

But all this has nothing to do with Li Qing who stepped down from the podium. Even if the celebration is still going on, for Li Qing, everything has returned to zero from the moment he stepped down from the podium. Next, he will definitely fight to step onto the podium again!

After the game, Liverpool returned to the hotel. The team will return early tomorrow morning and start preparing for the 19th round of the Premier League against Newcastle United at home on the 26th.

After the match with Newcastle United, Liverpool will face Arsenal and Manchester City, the two strongest rivals in the league, one after another, so Liverpool will launch an attack on the Premier League championship trophy next, and these games are crucial!

But for Li Qing, on this last night in the UAE, of course he had to stay with his girlfriend. Tong Shenbing also came to the stadium to watch the game today. Li Qing saw his girlfriend waving at him after the game.

But what surprised Li Qing was that in addition to his girlfriend, his future father-in-law and mother-in-law also appeared in the stands of the stadium.

So Li Qing specifically asked Klopp for leave, and Klopp generously approved it. The hero of his team's victory, such a small request can still be met, not to mention that even the parents came, Klopp is not such an unsympathetic and old-fashioned coach.

But to Li Qing's surprise, when he was about to leave the hotel and go to the hotel where Tong Shenbing was, his girlfriend and her parents were already waiting for him in the hotel lobby.

"Li Qing, my parents and I have to return to China early." Tong Shenbing said with a look of reluctance, "Congratulations on winning the championship!"

Go back now? Li Qing looked at his prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law with some confusion.

"Your team has officially notified the group that it wants to carry out all-round cooperation, and it has been decided that Bingbing will be the person in charge of this project, so..."

Li Qing felt trapped when he heard this. He couldn't understand what his prospective father-in-law said or the technical terminology, but he already understood one thing. Liverpool wanted to cooperate with the Tong Group, especially in traditional Chinese medicine and health care.

You don't need to ask Li Qing to know that his team plans to cooperate with the Tong Group in those aspects. This is definitely because Tong Shenbing's previous "love potion" was known to the club's senior management, so this happened.

Thinking of the smell of traditional Chinese medicine that would appear in every day's food in the club, Li Qing's stomach began to have a physiological reaction of wanting to spasm. The taste glands in his mouth also began to secrete saliva crazily, and there were already signs of bitterness in his mouth. .
