Football: The strongest post-zero generation

I don't know if the Premier League had expected Li Qing to break his single-season record of 31 goals contributed last season in the 14th round of the league, and Liverpool's trip to Stoke City's 14th league game was the last game in November.

Of course, it all happened by chance, with five more games going on at the same time as Stoke City vs Liverpool, namely Arsenal vs Huddersfield, Bonemouth vs Burnley, Chelsea vs Swansea, Everton vs West Ham United, Manchester City vs Southampton.

In the highlight of the game at Bet365, Li Qing made his debut, and Stoke City manager Mark Hughes made good on his pre-match promise to keep a close eye on Li Qing, but Li Qing was in excellent form and helped the visitors open the scoring in the seventh minute of the game.

A powerful long-range shot knocked on Grant to guard the goal.

Juli TV reporter Zhan Jun was ecstatic: "Li Qing's 31st goal this season! He equaled his personal record of 31 goals scored last season! This game has only started for seven minutes, and there is still plenty of time for him to continue scoring!"

With the score trailing early, the Stoke City players had to step up their attack in an attempt to equalise.

In the twentieth minute, after Li Qing's long pass, Salah cut behind Shaw Cross, and the ball shook past goalkeeper Grant to score an empty goal.

With two goals down, Mark Hughes's team couldn't care less about limiting Li Qing because ...... Stoke City have been in poor form this season, picking up just 13 points from their last 13 games, just three points clear of the relegation zone.

Li Qing, who lacked a multi-player defence, was very active and helped Liverpool extend the score to three goals in the 39th minute.

“Oh-My-God"

Sky TV commentator Andy Graylang said: "Two goals! Lee scored his 32nd goal of the season!1,432 goals, an unbelievable efficiency! He is now just two goals away from the 34 Premier League goals created by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer in a single season!"

Perhaps because of the limited ability of the opponent, Li Qing did not play very well in the second half, and his enthusiasm was not particularly high, Liverpool manager Klopp saw that the team was leading by three goals, and decisively replaced Li Qing to prepare for the next devil's schedule.

In the end, Liverpool defeated the home team Stoke City 3-0 with Li Qing's two goals and one assist contributed by Bet365 Stadium, winning ten consecutive league wins and continuing to rank at the top of the league table with 40 points.

Manchester City's home form is relatively stable, with goals from Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling narrowly beating Southampton 2-1 to sit second in the league by two points, and third-placed Manchester United is already eight points behind, which means that the battle for the league title this season is likely to be the defending champions Liverpool and Manchester City.

At the end of the 14th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season, the British media, European mainstream media and sports media around the world basically focused on Li Qing's personal record of 31 goals contributed in 15 games last season in only 14 games.

A large number of media reporters and fans believe that Li Qing will most likely be broken in the next round to break the Premier League single-season record set by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer!

Liverpool's opponent in the next round is promoted Brighton, according to each other, Li Qing, who has contributed 32 goals this season, is not 100% able to break the Premier League single-game goal record, at least a tie record is possible.

But as the clock ticked for December 1, the world's media attention quickly shifted to the Kremlin Concert Hall in Moscow.

The draw for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia will be held at the Kremlin Concert Hall!

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Li Qing was in the mansion with Solanke and Alexander-Arnold to watch the live broadcast of the World Cup group draw that ended a series of cultural performances, and it began when Klopp, the player of the German team, the winner of the last World Cup, returned the Hercules Cup.

Looking at the glittering Hercules Cup, Li Qing's eyes were full of yearning.

Arnold turned his head and asked Li Qing: "Li, do you want to lift the Hercules Cup?"

"Of course!"

Li Qing looked at the huge LCD TV screen and said without blinking, until the screen switched, he clenched his fists: "The World Cup champion is my goal!"

Solanke and Arnold looked at Li Qing's confident eyes, and they were all envious, thinking that when they were 16 years old, they were still playing in the National Youth League and the Youth FA Cup, and the 16-year-old Li Qing has become the focus of the world's attention.

Judging by his excellent performance, he will definitely be able to occupy a main force for England to participate in the World Cup in Russia.

The 20-year-old does not have much confidence in himself, and the coaches tend to focus more on bringing defensive players, and the number of forwards is destined to be limited, especially with super strikers such as Harry Kane and Vardy, and wingers such as Raheem Sterling, Li Qing, Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Marcus Rashford, it is difficult to occupy a substitute spot.

Alexander-Arnold is very confident that he has become Liverpool's first choice at right-back this season, and if he can continue to play well this season, not to mention the main right-back, the substitute will definitely be fine!

The two looked at the TV with different ideas, Li Qing has been traveling for more than a year, and he doesn't remember the results of the 2018 World Cup group draw in Russia, plus the change in the FIFA ranking position brought by his little butterfly, which is likely to affect England's position ranking and draw results.

This group classification is based on the FIFA rankings in October, which means that the large number of points brought by successive defeats to Germany and Brazil in November will not work, and there will be an embarrassing ranking for England.

According to the team bracket, England, ranked eighth in the world, should be seeded, but the host Russia automatically enters A to occupy a seeded place, which means that eighth-ranked England can only be relegated to the second team.

The other seven seeded teams are Germany, Brazil, Portugal, Argentina, Belgium, Poland and France.

The draw was based on the principle of avoidance on one continent, but with 14 teams in Europe, there was a maximum of two European teams per group.

The draw for the group was rigorous, with a total of eight world football legends invited to serve as guests, Maradona, Cannavaro, Puyol, Blanco, Cafu, Forlan, Banksy and Simonyan.

With the exception of hosts, Russia, who are destined to play in the opening match of A, the other seven seeded teams have their own groups in the subsequent draw.

Portugal were placed in Group B, France in Group C, Argentina in Group D, Brazil in Group E, Germany in Group F, Belgium in Group G, Poland H, and the eight seeded teams were settled, and the atmosphere at the draw became tense, and even Solanke and Arnold, who were sitting in front of the TV, felt nervous.

The first team to be drawn in the second pot was Uruguay, which naturally appeared in A, and then the team drawn was Spain, which means that the two teams from the Iberian Peninsula appeared in Group B, and the atmosphere at the draw site obviously increased.

Denmark were the third European team to be drawn and placed in Group C, and when the fourth Pot 2 team was drawn, the whole concert hall was in an uproar.

"I'll go!"

Solanke and Arnold exclaimed in surprise with their pupils shrinking at the same time. _
