Li Qing, who was not even 16 years old, returned to the study week after the competition day. Compared to the study cycle of the U15-U16 echelon, the time he spent in school after being promoted to the U18 echelon had decreased greatly.
On the contrary, the training time was increasing in a straight line.
His training time changed from midweek afternoon to Wednesday and Thursday, which meant that he only had three days left to study on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. The other four days would be spent at Kirkby Youth Academy for systematic training.
Of course, rising to the U18 team at the age of 15 already showed that Li Qing had enough strength to become a professional player. In the future, he did not need to rely on culture to make a living. It was just that the youth academy had relevant rules. The academic performance of young players still had to be assessed, and homework had to be completed. It was just that the quantity and quality had decreased.
Returning to the main topic, Li Qing, who had returned to Blue Shirt High School on Monday, had a smile on his face as he slowly sat down beside Zhao Qiangu, who was used to arriving early in the classroom. He used his most charming smile to say,"Student Qian Gu, going back on your word isn't something a good student should do.”
Zhao Qiangu, who had come to the classroom early for self-study, put down her book and similarly revealed a smile. She used the words she had long thought of to speak to Li Qing in a relaxed manner,"Student Li Qing, I'm not the one who agreed to gamble with you. If you want to find someone, then find my cousin.”
A sly smile appeared on Zhao Qiangu's face.
Li Qing was instantly dumbfounded.”
"Does that mean I agree?"
Zhao Qiangu's intelligent eyes stared at Li Qing.
“……”
Li Qing wasn't a fool. He naturally knew that not opposing didn't mean agreeing, so he was very speechless.
He knew that the smart Zhao Qiangu wanted to deny it.
However, he was not depressed because…there was still Tong Shenbing who agreed to the bet.
Compared to Zhao Qiangu, who was the same age as him, the 18-year-old Tong Shenbing was clearly more attractive!
Suddenly, he remembered that Liverpool's U18 team had successfully advanced to the top 32 of the FA Youth Cup. Their opponent in the 1/16 final was Manchester City's U18 team, and the signing spot they had drawn was an away draw. This meant that he would follow Liverpool's U18 team to Manchester, the second most prosperous city in Yingguo, in January next year.
Manchester City U18 was located in the city where Tong Shenbing was studying at Manchester University!
"Hehe…"
The corners of Li Qing's mouth curled up slightly, and his face involuntarily revealed a silver smile.
It was as if he was saying, Little Shen Bing, come into the bowl!
※※※※※※
On Wednesday morning at 9 AM, Li Qing arrived at Kirkby Training Academy half an hour earlier. Compared to the past, today felt a little special.
The U18 was the most important stop for promotion to the senior team. As long as he continued to play well, he would be noticed by the senior team and move to a higher stage, representing Liverpool's First Team in the Premier League and even the Champions League!
2016-2017 In the twelfth round of the Premier League season, Liverpool ranked second in the Premier League with eight wins, three draws and one loss with 27 points. They were only one point behind Chelsea, so the team had a good chance of participating in next season's Champions League under Klomp's leadership!
They arrived at the U18 echelon training ground half an hour earlier. The stadium was still empty. After Li Qing changed into his jersey, shorts, and sneakers, he jogged around the stadium to warm up and stretch his muscles. Only when he held the football and trained with the ball did someone come to the training ground.
It was not the players who came, but the U18 head coach, Neil Critchley, and two assistants, Mike Garrity and Oliver Morgan. Mike Garrity was the training assistant, and Oliver Morgan was a sports scientist and fitness coach. He was responsible for arranging scientific training with Mike Garrity.
Neil Critchley nodded his head in gratification. His fondness for Li Qing was getting higher and higher.
Such a talented player still had to train. What reason was there not to succeed?
He had a premonition that before the end of the 2016-2017 season, Li Qing might be promoted to the First Team by Klop!
Thinking of this, he was shocked by his own thoughts.
It was true that Li Qing was talented and hardworking, but his physical condition did not seem to be enough to cope with the First Team matches. However…it was still more than enough for the FA Youth Cup and the National Youth League.
After all, Li Qing was still underage, and participating in the Pro League too early wouldn't do him any good.
However, Neil Critchley did not know that Li Qing could not wait to participate in the Premier League!
Other than his body not being strong enough, Li Qing's winger attributes were already enough to be a substitute in Liverpool.
Near 9:30, the members of the U18 team arrived at the training ground one after another. Li Qing had performed well during this period and became a big star in the youth academy. There was even a rumor that the manager, Neil Cricchley, said that with Li Qing, he could easily overcome Manchester City, which led to some players in the team being dissatisfied with Li Qing.
A fifteen-year-old Chinese was needed to advance to the last sixteen of the Youth FA Cup?
What kind of joke was this?
Glenn McCauley, who joined Kirkby from the St. Joseph's Boys in Iceland at the beginning of last year, was Liverpool's most prolific striker in the 2016-2017 season of the National Premier League. His glory even overshadowed the local genius striker, Ryan Brewster. He said coldly,"U18 is not that easy! You want to lead us to the top 16? Are you qualified?"
Bobby Adekanye, the midfielder of the Netherlandish Nigeria, smiled and patted Glenn McCauley's shoulder. However, he looked at Li Qing and said with a smile,"Glenn, it's impossible for an Asian to be qualified. Don't worry, I'll let him know what the gap is in the following training.”
Li Qing, who was jogging with the ball, felt that someone was looking at him, so he looked up. He happened to meet Glenn McCauley and Bobby Adekanye's eyes.
Instinctively, he smiled sincerely.
However, Glenn McCauley and Bobby Adekanye quickly turned their heads away, their faces cold and arrogant.
"It seems a little unfriendly…"
Li Qing muttered to himself and started dribbling again.
Those who were hostile towards Li Qing would naturally have a good impression of him. Last year, Rian Brewster, who had been promoted to U18, greatly admired Li Qing.
Of course, more players were on the sidelines.
The football field was like this. As long as you showed convincing strength, everyone would think highly of you.
Li Qing naturally didn't know what his new teammate was thinking, but he knew that in the new team, he had to show strength that was a level higher than his teammates. Otherwise…how could he continue to skip levels?
