Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Melwood Training Base.

Boom......

With a loud bang, Li Qing shot a long shot in the run, the ball hit the crossbar, popped directly out of the penalty area, and was immediately cleared out of the sideline, but it made Liverpool substitute goalkeeper Mignolet break out in a cold sweat.

“wowoowowoooooooo——"

There was a sigh from the sidelines, it was the first day of training after the Liverpool team returned, and there were many die-hard fans watching from outside the stadium, and of course, many reporters.

Li Qing consciously began to run in circles after shooting the goal, which is the training content temporarily added by Klopp today, and players who do not score a shot will be punished for running a lap.

"Hey Lee, why didn't you lower that ball just now?" Henderson was also running in circles at this time, and his shot just now hit the anti-aircraft gun.

"If I don't come down, I'll pass the ball, otherwise how can you have a chance to shoot?" Li Qing couldn't help but complain to Henderson.

"Who made you the team's top scorer!" Henderson smiled shamelessly as he ran, and glanced back at the training ground, where Mane just received the ball and cut inside to shoot, and the ball went in.

"Mane's boy, it seems that the injury is no longer a problem, against Hoffenheim, he should be able to play. Henderson smiled, but Li Qing didn't answer, which made the Liverpool captain a little strange.

"Li, what's wrong? Seeing that you are not in high spirits, don't you just not score a goal!"

Li Qing glanced at the captain angrily and shrugged his shoulders, "Do you think I'll be upset because of that little thing?"

"Then what are you for?" Henderson was puzzled, but Li Qing had already quickened his pace at this time, Henderson was caught off guard, and when he tried to chase after him, he found that he couldn't keep up with Li Qing's footsteps.

It wasn't until two days later that Henderson understood the real reason for Li Qing's low interest.

At 9pm on 11 December, more than 50,000 Liverpool fans poured into Anfield Stadium as the final round of the Champions League Group C group stage was about to begin.

When the starting line-ups of both sides came out, the Liverpool fans on the scene quickly discovered one thing.

In Liverpool's starting lineup today, there is no king Li Qing of them, Li Qing is sitting on the bench with Keita, Fabinho and other players at the moment.

However, many fans can understand this arrangement, after all, their team has won five consecutive games in the Champions League group stage, and they have already locked the top spot and qualified, so it is understandable to let Li Qing rest in the last round.

But Li Qing, who was sitting on the bench, thought so, and he also knew that the head coach's approach was understandable, in order to protect himself and prepare for the league with Manchester United in the future, but a professional player, of course he wanted to start every game.

Especially since today is Liverpool's home stadium, Henderson and Milner captains are on the pitch together, and of course he, the third captain, wants to play too!

Henderson squeezed his eyes at Li Qing on the field, Li Qing glared at him angrily, simply closed his eyes and recuperated, constantly slandering in his heart, making you squeal, be careful to lose it at the beginning!

really let Li Qing say, Hoffenheim, who was playing away, was very active in the game, a bit of an anti-guest meaning, and after the start of the game, he threatened Liverpool's goal one after another, forcing Alisson to make a save.

"Li, how do I feel about today's game, the captain is a little weird?" Curtis Jones, who was sitting next to Li Qing, pushed Li Qing and pointed to the puzzled look on the field.

Li Qing opened his eyes and glanced down the field, just in time to see Hoffenheim striker Kramaric easily shot hard in the Liverpool penalty area, but was saved by Alisson.

"Focus, Matip, what are you doing?" Klopp on the sidelines yelled loudly, and Matip, who had just almost caused the team to lose points, suddenly looked depressed.

"It's a little too relaxing. Li Qing stretched his waist and replied to his friend: "Hoffenheim is actually not very easy to bully, and they will make mistakes later." "

"No!" Curtis was a little incredulous, after all, most of the players on the field are mainly main players.

Goalkeeper Alisson, in addition to Matip, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson and Van Dijk in the backline, the midfield is captain Jordan Henderson and vice-captain Milner, Wijnaldum is also on the field.

In the forward line, it is the trident of Salah that is missing Fiernino to partner with Mane and Shaqiri, and it can be said that such a staffing shows the importance that Klopp attaches to this game.

But Li Qing could see that his teammates might be too relaxed, quasi-full of main players, and the group qualification was worry-free, and the seemingly weak opponent made them a little contemptuous of Hoffenheim on the field.

Sure enough, the deadlock on the pitch was quickly broken by Hoffenheim, and not long after Curtis's words were finished, it was Matip again, who made an unnecessary defensive foul in his own penalty area and gave the opponent a penalty.

Hoffenheim striker Kramaric scored 0-1 and Liverpool fell behind at home stadium.

There was an uproar in the stands at Anfield, Klopp's face turned black on the sidelines, and Matip looked frustrated when he made a mistake, but captain Henderson and other teammates stepped forward to comfort him, but the score was a reality.

"Lee, how do you see that?" Curtis pushed Li Qing in surprise, his face full of incredulity, "Hoffenheim really scored!"

"Shut up, be quiet!" Li Qing shouted at Curtis in a low voice, the fuss of his friend just now had attracted the attention of many teammates and staff around him, and Klopp on the sidelines seemed to hear it, and looked back at him.

Fortunately, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and the Liverpool players, who were one goal behind on the field, launched an attack that attracted everyone's attention.

Captain Jordan Henderson forced the opposition player to kick the ball off the line, and Liverpool's corner kick was headed by Roberto Firmino, who smashed the ball the post and bounced off the line.

Liverpool, who was behind the opponent, began to attack sharply, and frequently threatened the opponent's half, but Hoffenheim, who began to retreat with all his members, did not let Liverpool's players seize the opportunity, knowing that the first half was over, and the score was still 0:1.

At half-time, Jurgen Klopp was a rare non-starter in the lounge, and simply laid out new tactical content, but this made the Liverpool players who were ready to play even more frightened.

Everyone knows that behind the coach's calmness, there is definitely a storm of anger, and if this game can't be won, after the game is over, there will definitely be a storm waiting for everyone.

However, the frightened Liverpool team suffered another blow in the opening game, Hoffenheim won a free kick in front, and the Hoffenheim player who took the free kick hoisted the ball into the penalty area, and the opposing defender pressed Matip and broke Alisson's ten fingers with a header.

Liverpool trailed 2-0 at home and the Anfield Stadium fell silent. _
