Football: The strongest post-zero generation

England's preparation in Kazan is still based on Li Qing as the absolute core, and the tactical drills include bottom crosses, 45-degree crosses from two wings, long-range shots, covers, corner kick attacks, etc., and the visual feast brought by Li Qing's wonderful goals one after another is quite shocking, which also causes other England players to be willing to make green leaves for Li Qing.

Ten goals in four World Cup matches, coupled with England's 2-0 win over Brazil in an international friendly last November with Li Qing's solo score, gave England players great confidence in beating Brazil.

Many players may be used to being bullied by Li Qing in the league, but when it comes to the World Cup, no one wants to drop the chain, and then it will be the semi-finals, if you can laugh to the end, it will be the World Cup champion!

Many players have never had the opportunity to participate in the World Cup after a lifetime of hard work, and the World Cup is held every four years, no one knows if they can be as good as they are now.

Manager Gareth Southgate is very satisfied with the preparation and mental outlook of his players, and is full of confidence in the World Cup quarter-finals that will start the day after tomorrow.

At another training base in Kazan, Brazilian coach Tite has a solemn face, not that he is dissatisfied with the training state and mental outlook of the players, but as time goes by, the 1/4 match is getting closer and closer, and the opponent England is in very good shape, if the team can't break out in the game, it is estimated that it will be difficult to cross the England hurdle.

It's not that Tite is jealous of England, but ...... I am afraid of Li Qing, who is in excellent condition.

A super scorer who averages two goals per game, it is difficult for any opponent to ignore, on the contrary, he often can't help but pay too much attention.

England have been able to win all of their last four games, except for Li Qing's personal strength, which is largely due to the fact that most of the opponent's defensive players are focused on Li Qing, so that other key players lack defense, resulting in the defense conceding goals.

One ring goes wrong, one after the other, that ...... It's not far from losing.

"What should I do?"

Tite frowned, looking at Neymar with a helpless gaze, although his personal strength is still ranked in the top five in the world, but the growth ceiling has not been reached, which makes him feel very regretful.

If Neymar can be as disciplined as Li Qing, maybe ...... He could have challenged Messi and Ronaldo for the top position in world football long ago.

The day before the game, on July 5, local time in Russia, both sides of the match went to the Kazan Arena to acclimatize to the venue and make final preparations for the match to be played tomorrow night.

England were still drawn away from home, and they went to the Kazan Arena at 2pm for a two-hour acclimatisation session, and about an hour later, manager Gareth Southgate took Li Qing to the press conference hall for a regular pre-match press conference.

Li Qing, who has contributed 10 goals in four World Cup matches, is ranked eighth on the all-time World Cup scorer list, with only seven players in him: Klinsmann, Kochis, Leigh, Fontaine, Gerd Muller, Ronaldo and Klose.

The biggest advantage for Li Qing is still very young, 17 years old, as long as there is no big problem in the future state, at least four World Cups can be played, according to the current calculation, then when he retires, he will have to throw out the retired international superstar a few streets.

"I remember the crow...... Forehead...... Ahem......"

Asked by media reporters about the 1/4 finals tomorrow night, Li Qing changed his words: "No, it is the football king Pele who has scored a total of 12 goals in four World Cups, you may not believe it, I am ready to surpass him in this game, really, as for victory...... What do you think? If you score three goals, you can't lose, right?"

As he spoke, he winked mischievously.

If other players dare to say this, the media reporters will definitely spray him to death with saliva, the problem is that Li Qing is not an ordinary player, he is a ruthless person who can stage the big four in the Anglo-Argentine war and the Champions League final, according to the past cases, whoever doubts will be slapped in the face, so that the Brazilian domestic media reporters present did not speak, and all of them were holding back their faces and flushed, which made people laugh.

Southgate could sense that Li Qing was confident rather than arrogant, and grinned, it seems that the strategy of bringing Li Qing to the regular pre-match press conference this time is the right one.

After a while, Li Qing's words at the pre-match regular press conference appeared on INS, Twitter, Facebook and other well-known social platforms around the world after being rendered by media reporters.

As time went on, two of the country's football legends, England and Brazil, joined the mix, and Pele was too unsightly and disrespectful to his opponents on Instagram.

Ronaldo did not answer positively, but he said that Brazil would keep their win against England at the knockout stage level of the World Cup.

Ronaldinho, as the biggest contributor to the elimination of England in the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup, did not make any response, but silently praised Pele's speech.

Brazilian star Kaka INS@ Neymar and hoped that Neymar could take on more responsibilities in the quarter-finals and lead Brazil to defeat England and win the sixth World Cup title in team history.

About two hours later, Brazil coach Tite brought the number one star Neymar to the press conference hall to participate in the regular press conference before the game, without the need for media reporters to deliberately convey the news, Neymar has already learned through social media that Li Qing was interviewed by the media, he said seriously: "I respect my opponent very much, but some people don't respect us, tomorrow night's game, I will use goals and victories to defend dignity!"

"Well said! Defend dignity with victory!"

The journalist from Brazil had a feeling of raising his eyebrows and cheering Neymar on.

The English media reporters and the Celestial Empire media reporters took two steps back in disgust, and snorted coldly, Li Qing has not lost since the beginning of his career, nor has he been slapped in the face, Brazil still dares to speak out as England's defeated player seven months ago?

Wait to be slapped in the face!

Head coach Tite is an old fritter who avoids the important and takes it lightly, he is afraid of being slapped in the face after the game, and he focuses on the upcoming game.

So, the day before the start of the game, the supporters of the two teams started to spray each other on the online platform, and Li Qing and Neymar were pushed to the forefront, in the words of the French "Team Newspaper" INS - who will be slapped in the face?

To put it simply, only one of Neymar and Li Qing will have the last laugh.

But those Brazilian players who have really played against Li Qing or are teammates consciously keep their mouths shut and concentrate on preparing for the 1/4 match. _
