Li Qing and Tong Shenbing took the train to Liverpool the next morning. Then, the two of them parted ways at the train station. One went to Zhao Qiangu's house until school started, while Li Qing returned to his own home alone.
Tong Shenbing gazed at Li Qing's lonely back through the taxi window, and a heartache suddenly arose in his heart. Li Qing lost his parents when he was young, and he had no one to rely on overseas. All these years…how did he survive?
If it was him, he would definitely collapse.
"What am I thinking?"
As the taxi drove into the main road, Tong Shenbing could not help but pat his smooth and fair forehead, muttering softly,""He's three years younger than me!"
But soon, another voice appeared in her heart."Third year female student, hug the gold brick."
……
Before the Kirkby Youth Training Academy reopened, Li Qing maintained the training ground for at least ten hours a day, which was two and a half hours in real time.
Other times?
Of course, it was to get in touch with Tong Shenbing and Zhao Qiangu. Occasionally, he would use his U18 player identity to bring them to watch Liverpool's Premier League matches.
The relationship between the three of them grew with each passing day, but for some unknown reason, Li Qing felt that Zhao Qiangu was not as close to him as before, and was faintly estranged from him.
Happy times often passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the 5th of January, 2017. This was the day when the Kirkby Youth Academy reopened. Li Qing's time was gradually placed on the training base to prepare for the U18 Merseyside Derby and the FA Cup 1/16 final.
As both games were away, the first day of returning to the team was to perform body flanks according to international practice. Compared to professional players, the youth team players 'body flanks were simpler, which was height, weight, body fat percentage, and muscle ratio.
"176cm, 65.5KG, 13.3% body fat, 41.6% muscle. Not bad.”
Li Qing took the physical test form that assistant coach Mike Garrity handed over and muttered,"Isn't his height growing too slow? It had been almost two months since he transmigrated, but he was not even 1.8 meters tall.”
Of course, it was just a self-complaint. It was already very good that he had grown seven centimeters in two months.
It would be strange if a person suddenly grew more than ten centimeters in two months…
There was still more than a month before the age of 16. Normally, it would take another two to three years to grow up. By then, it would definitely be 1.8 meters. However, when athletes reached a certain age, they had to strengthen their strength training in order to gain muscle, which would cause their height growth to slow down. However, it was not a problem for them to grow to 1.8 meters.
The end of the body side was a targeted recovery of physical fitness training. As the vast majority of players did not have enough self-discipline and had a good Christmas, their bodies could not keep up with the rhythm and complained endlessly. Only Li Qing could cope with it as he pleased.
The head coach, Neil Critchley, nodded slightly and said in a low voice,""It seems that Li has been maintaining his training condition during this period of time.”
Otherwise, how could he be in such a good state?
Gerrard, as the new assistant of Neil Cricchley, was very pleased.""It was indeed the right choice for me to promise you to personally teach him how to deal with long passes, but…"
At this point, he paused. Perhaps Neil Critchley had obsessive-compulsive disorder, he could not help but ask,"What's wrong?"
"I just don't know how long Li can stay in U18.”Gerrard looked to the southwest, where the Melwood training ground, which was where Liverpool's First Team trained, was located."Sadeo is going to participate in the African Cup of Nations. The First Team lacks a winger. Based on Li's current ability, he can definitely get a substitute position in the First Team.”
"But... Lee's only sixteen next month.”
Neil Critchley was shocked.
Gerrard shrugged his shoulders and did not say much. The record for the youngest player to make an appearance in the Premier League was set by Fulham player Matthew Briggs in the 2006-2007 season, when he was only 16 years and 68 days old.
Although the player who set the record for the youngest appearance might not necessarily make a name for himself in the future, many geniuses showed their talent to the world at a young age!
Li Qing was about to turn sixteen, so why not?
In his eyes, Li Qing was much stronger than those so-called heaven gifted geniuses!
According to the arrangements of the club's higher-ups in the next few days, he would be having dinner with Kloppe. Should he recommend Li Qing then?
Right at this moment, Li Qing received a pass from his teammate on the attacking right flank, instantly attracting two to three defensive players.
There were one or two defensive players nearby who were ready to make up for the defense. Everyone thought that Li Qing was going to break through, but in the end, he unexpectedly made a long pass with his left foot. The football accurately found the fullback who plugged in at high speed from afar. The latter did not stop the ball and passed it horizontally to the middle of the penalty area. Brewster, who was actively following up, kicked the ball into the goal...
Seeing this, Gerrard had already made up his mind. When the time came, he would definitely recommend Li Qing with all his might!
Even if he couldn't play as a winger, he could still be a midfielder responsible for long passes.
However, this position required a certain amount of defensive ability. Under normal circumstances, Li Qing wouldn't be assigned a very heavy defensive task. Thus, his defense was mostly for show, so that he would have better stamina to grasp the opportunity to counterattack.
Headache…
With the development of modern football, players who only knew how to attack gradually lost their position in the world trend. Now, in addition to attacking, attacking players also needed to defend, because no mistakes could be made in the dialogue between strong players. In order to avoid problems in defense, the coach often asked ten players to defend together. Similarly, in addition to defending, defensive players also needed to attack.
Nowadays, even the requirements for goalkeepers were getting higher and higher. In addition to being able to keep the goal, they also had to be able to pass the ball.
Why not talk to Li Qing privately and practice defense?
