Football: The strongest post-00s

Klopp looked at the Manchester United starting list handed over by Boage, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, it is not difficult to see that Li Qing’s excellent performance during this period has made the always cautious Mourinho a little conservative.

The formation is the most popular three-four-three in the Premier League in recent times, goalkeeper David De Gea, three central defenders Phil Jones, Smalling and Rojo, three midfielders Damian, Pogba, Herrera and Valencia, and three forwards Marcus Rashford, Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan.

It is easy to see that Mourinho’s squad is defensive-oriented, in addition to preventing the uncertainty caused by Li Qing’s debut, a large reason is that Manchester United just played a Europa League 1/8 final first leg with Rostov in Russia three days ago, and the physical fatigue caused by the long journey is more obvious.

In any case, Mourinho’s starting lineup is undefeated, but the specific effect will have to wait for the game to be verified.

Li Qing and the Liverpool players showed up at Old Trafford to warm up, and the stands on all sides accommodated eighty percent of the fans, and when the players from both sides returned to the dressing room, the stadium was full.

The live director has a sharp eye, many of the double red club celebrities of this game appeared in the stadium stands, former Manchester United meritorious coaches Ferguson, Bobby Charlton and his wife all appeared in the stadium VIP box, Liverpool legends John Barnes, Carragher, Gerrard and others do not have this treatment, they are sitting in the Liverpool fan area.

……

Li Qing unhurriedly put on a gray undershirt with long sleeves, and then put on the third away jersey designed with fluorescent green and dark gray, Arnold touched Li Qing with his elbow next to him: “Li, why are you not excited at all?” ”

“What’s so exciting?”

Li Qing was a little speechless, his face was not red and his heart did not beat: “In the future, you will find that it is normal for my brother to enter the starting list.” ”

“Brother?”

Arnold rolled his eyes, “You’re three years younger than me!” ”

“Isn’t strength in football? I’m much better than you, so…”

Li Qing bent down to put on fluorescent green ball socks, looked up and squeezed his eyebrows at Arnold: “That’s right… Can you lend me your hairspray? ”

Arnold: “…”

Klopp explained that there was some time before the game tactics for the players to sort out their appearance, and as the stars of world football, they definitely want to leave a good image in front of the fans.

Even Klopp came to Liverpool as a manager with a conscious love for his image, he used to be a manager at Dortmund, he was a big yellow tooth, now?

The whiteness of the teeth is second only to the largest white tooth Firmino in the team.

In addition, Firmino’s big bag still squeezed a bunch of hairspray in his hand, as if he didn’t want money to wipe it on his head, until he looked at the meticulousness presented by the mirror and tapped his head with satisfaction.

Li Qing took the Schwarzkopf hair handed over by Arnold, nodded meaningfully, and said: “Not bad, Cristiano Ronaldo hair spray of the same brand, I like it.” ”

Saying that, Li Qing’s right hand squeezed hard, and suddenly squeezed out a large amount of gel-like hairspray, he chose to ignore Arnold’s distressed little eyes, his face was not red and his heart did not jump in front of Firmino’s own mirror, and wiped his hair: “Robert handsome, trouble let go, thank you.” ”

About five minutes later, Li Qing muttered to himself in the mirror with a look of intoxication: “You, after all, are the first manager in the Liverpool team.” ”

“Poof…”

“Ahem…”

Coaches Klopp, Lovren and Firmino, who were drinking water, subconsciously spewed out a mouthful of water, and the lucky Mane and Wijnaldum reacted and dodged, and the slow Origi and Henderson were sprayed in the face.

Li Qing looked at his teammates puzzled, and said innocently: “Don’t you think I’m handsome?” ”

Klopp: “…”

Boitsch: “…”

Other teammates: “…”

“Well, it seems that you have low self-esteem.”

Li Qing washed his hands and said seriously.

Everyone: “…”

Time flew by, and with ten minutes to go before the start of the game, FA staff knocked on the door of the visiting team’s dressing room to remind Liverpool players that they should go to the players’ tunnel.

The Old Trafford aisle is larger than the Anfield player aisle, which can accommodate the starters of both teams at the same time, and the substitutes do not stop, directly enter the stadium and sit on their own bench.

Manchester United and Liverpool are international football clubs, many players in the team are internationals, Wijnaldum and Blind are Dutch national team teammates, Mignolet, Origi and Fellaini are Belgium national team teammates, Milner, Henderson, Lallana and Phil Jones, Smalling are England national team teammates…

The live director connects the broadcast screen to the player tunnel and sweeps it one by one.

Li Qing is the youngest player in both teams, but few Manchester United players underestimate him, because those teams that have underestimated Li Qing have been cut down.

Marcus Rashford is one of the few players in Manchester United who underestimates Li Qing, known as ‘Wonder Boy’ by the media, he does not want to share this title with others, and he starts this game at the same time, he wants to prove to the world media with his performance that he Rashford is the real Magic Boy who turns decay into magic!

Li Qing, who adjusted his mentality, noticed the hostility from Rashford, and he glanced at it, disagreeing.

New England Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said: “Li Qing made his debut in this double red meeting, I believe that the fans in front of the TV have been waiting for a long time, you might as well guess what kind of performance Li Qing will have?” ”

“Most of the last few games have been played well at Anfield, the King Power Stadium is half smaller than Old Trafford, the huge contrast will definitely have a huge impact on Li Qing, can he turn rot into magic like the past games? Let’s wait and see. ”

Le Shi sports commentator Zhan Jun said.

Sky commentator Andy Gray is looking forward to it: “Jose Mourinho is playing a defensive formation at home, can an attacking trident of Lee, Sadeep and Roberto break through the Manchester United defence? Martin, what do you think? ”

Martin Taylor thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: “Manchester United’s choice of defense at home is the right choice, but I don’t know what the result will be, if I can beat Liverpool through a quick counterattack, I am afraid that Liverpool Trident will be powerful.” ”

Accompanied by commentary from the live studio commentator, players from both sides stepped onto the pitch behind referee Oliver.

Li Qing, who is walking in the middle of the team, has a different feeling, his last start was at home to Leicester City in the fifth round of the FA Cup, the only away game was to challenge Leicester City in the league, and now the starter is away to Manchester United, and there is a faint feeling of weakness in his heart.

But this feeling did not last long, and the current Manchester United is not the Manchester United of the Ferguson era.

The current Manchester United is not the best Manchester United of the Mourinho era. _
