Football: The strongest post-zero generation

With an hour to go before the start of the game, the 81,000-capacity Luzhniki Stadium was packed, and even if there were any seats available, they were being seated by the arriving fans at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“aoaoaooaoaoooooooo——"

The indispensable frenzied atmosphere before the game, the fanatical fans of the two teams created a tsunami-like furious shouting and cheering, detonating the atmosphere of the first semi-final of the 2018 World Cup in Russia in advance.

Compared to the English and Belgian fans, who each had more than 20,000 fans, there were more neutral fans.

The World Cup is a festival for fans all over the world, and in addition to giving some tickets to the participating teams, most of the tickets are aimed at fanatical fans around the world in order to stimulate the domestic tourism market.

With the rapid development of the economy and the improvement of national living standards, there are more and more rich people, and the quadrennial World Cup is naturally a festival that many people with money in their hands are unwilling to miss.

As a result, a large number of Celestial Empire fans holding the Celestial Empire flag appeared in the main and auxiliary stands of the Luzhniki Stadium to cheer for England.

"Li Qing! Li Qing!"

The English players came to the stadium from the players' tunnel one after another to warm up, and when the familiar white number 10 appeared in sight, a large number of Tianchao fans in the main stand hysterically chanted Li Qing's name.

Li Qing stopped in place as he listened to the familiar Celestial Empire language, turned his head to look, looked at the red that made him proud, and gave a high thumbs up with a smile.

Seeing Li Qing's response, those Celestial Empire fans who greeted them felt more embarrassed, and even had a feeling that they were worth the ticket price, and the sound that erupted became louder and louder, almost resounding throughout the entire Luzhniki Stadium: "aoaooaoooo-"

A large number of reporters who came to the mixed area in advance picked up the cameras in their hands and kept taking pictures of the handsome Li Qing, and the sound of 'clicking' was endless.

For this reason, Li Qing was also very glad that he had a special haircut before warming up, which was not handsome and chic.

Belgium manager Roberto Martinez was in the dressing room making final tactical preparations, as was England manager Gareth Southgate, with their respective assistants coming to the sidelines to watch the mental state of the opposition's key players.

Former France international and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry came to the sidelines as Martinez's assistant and looked at Li Qing with a solemn face.

Li Qing has scored 13 goals in the last five games, contributing a whopping 82.3% of England's goals, and from a limited point of view, if you do a good job of defending against Li Qing, it is very difficult for England to score, the problem is that Li Qing has not been restricted since his debut, and he averages more than two goals per game.

Li Qing also scored only one goal in many games, but according to Li Qing, the opponent's strength was not strong enough, and scoring too many goals was suspected of swiping the goal data.

At this time, the starting lineup of the two managers was still the usual 343 formation, goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, defenders Harry Maguire, John Stones and Kyle, midfielders Ashley Young, Jordan Henderson, Loftus-Cheek and Alexander-Arnold, and forwards Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane and Li Qing.

Belgium started in a formation of 4321, with Thartaut Thauttus, defenders Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Kompany and Meunier, midfielders Fellaini, Witsel and Deng, Hazard and De Bruyne as the double midfielders, and the striker was the little monster Lukaku.

Interestingly, England's lineup for this game is the lowest average age since the start of the World Cup in Russia, with an average age of only 22.3 years old, except for Ashley Young, who is a post-80s, the other ten players are post-90s, Loftus-Cheek, Arnold and even post-96, but the most perverted is Li Qing, post-00, the youngest player in this World Cup, and the brightest star of this World Cup.

The World Cup semi-finals of England vs Belgium are attractive to Celestial Empire fans, in addition to Chinese players like Li Qing on the field, and also with Belgian players who are effective in the Celestial Empire Super League.

Of course, the main focus of Celestial Empire fans is Li Qing, and the players who play in the Celestial Empire Super League can only be said to be a feeling, and there is no comparison at all.

Martinez, who was given England's starting line-up, frowned, expecting England to continue with the same starting line-up against Brazil, but made a key change in central midfield, with Loftus-Cheek, who had never started before, starting in place of Dier as the biggest surprise man in the starting line-up.

Loftus-Cheek is 1.91 meters tall, weighs 88 to score, is not slow, has distinctive characteristics, dribbles, long shots and short passes are very good, the disadvantage is the lack of wing cross ability and weak defensive enthusiasm, that is to say, Southgate let Loftus-Cheek start completely to let him show his offensive talent!

"What does that mean to storm?"

Martinez frowned at the thought of this, if this was the case, then England's attack would be like a tidal wave.

Coupled with Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane and Li Qing, it is very likely that he will take the lead at the Luzhniki Stadium, and when the time comes, he is eager to equalize......

“NO！"

Martinez shook his head, it was definitely possible to score first against England, but it was more likely to concede first.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to make two preparations, if his side kicked off first to grab the start, England kicked off first and mainly defended and counterattacked.

England manager Gareth Southgate had a simple idea of getting the ball and scoring as much as possible, and he sent Loftus-Cheek in large part to cover Li Qing on the flanks and give him a chance to take on Vertonghen alone.

With Li Qing's super personal ability, breaking through Vertongheng is sprinkling.

......

With about 10 minutes to go before the start of the game, the starters of both sides stood in the tunnel waiting to come out, while the substitutes went straight onto the pitch and sat on their benches.

Many Belgian players play in the Premier League and are familiar with English players, so it is natural for them to talk to each other before the game.

The only Belgian player who plays for Liverpool is goalkeeper Mignolet, and Li Qing can't find anyone if he wants to say a few words, because Mignolet said hello to him and then went directly to the field, and finally pulled Arnold to talk nonsense.

Before the start of the World Cup semifinals of England VS Belgium, Li Qing and Hazard have continuously become the data comparison objects of major media in the world.

Who made him fall behind in all his statistics?

The game is about to start, and the close-up of the live director is naturally given to the core players of both teams.

Li Qing stood at the back of the team with an indifferent face, and Hazard was his trademark brow, standing at the front of the team without squinting.

After a while, the Uruguayan referee team led the players from both sides from the players' tunnel to the court.

“aooaooaooaoooooooo——"

When players from both sides led the caddies to the players' tunnel entrance, a huge shout like a tsunami rang out over the Luzhniki Stadium.

He Weilang, the commentator of Tianchao Radio 5, said: "The players of both sides have come to the stadium, and the World Cup semi-finals are getting closer and closer to us!
