Football: The strongest post-zero generation

With Li Qing's hat-trick and Sadio Mane's goal, Liverpool beat Schalke 04 4-0 away, and the second leg of the match between the two sides will be played at Anfield next month.

With four away goals in hand, Jurgen Klopp's side have all but booked a place in the quarter-finals, and judging by Schalke 04's performance, it is almost impossible for them to turn the tables away from home in their next game.

With the return of the Liverpool squad to England, the other matches of the Champions League quarter-finals have also come to an end.

Roma beat Porto 2-1 at home, Ajax lost 1-2 at home to Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid beat Juventus 2-0 at home, and Lyon upset at home and drew 0-0 with the mighty Barcelona.

Other teams in the Premier League, with the exception of Tottenham's 3-0 home win over Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City's record is not good.

Manchester United's 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain at their home stadium saw Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe contribute to the goal, leaving United's prospects of promotion in jeopardy.

Manchester City also failed to win at their home stadium, drawing 0-0 with Bayern Munich, and Pep Guardiola's side, facing their manager's former club, the players did not seem to find the shooting boots.

The next leg of Manchester City's home stadium at Bayern Munich is sure to be a very tough battle.

In comparison, the Liverpool team couldn't be happier, so after returning to England, the reaction of the fans and the club was relaxed, but happy and sad, and the team had bad news.

After Tong's physiotherapy team settled in Liverpool and launched all-round cooperation with Liverpool Medical Center, the chief physicians of both sides re-examined Liverpool's injured and sick players, and found that the situation of the players who were in a state of injury was not optimistic.

Gomez's injury did not improve, and Gomez himself was too anxious to return to the ring, and increased the amount of training when his physical condition was not fully recovered, which led to a recurrence of the injury and a delay in his return time.

Salah's situation is the same as Gomez, the Egyptian pharaoh really regarded himself as a god, secretly doing physical training by himself, which led to the onset of old back and shoulder injuries and returned to the list of seriously injured people.

Shaqiri also didn't study well, obviously it was only a minor injury, but he didn't listen to the advice of the team doctor, and practiced on his own, trying to catch up with the fifth round of the FA Cup, but he suffered a calf strain, and he had to recuperate for at least four weeks.

After Klopp learned of the situation, he was furious and issued a ban on the whole team, all players with physical injuries were admitted to the new Cocoby physiotherapy center, and no players were allowed to return to training unless the team doctor allowed it.

If anyone dares to disobey the advice of the team doctor, in addition to the fines imposed on the players, even if they recover physically, they will be banned for three months, with immediate effect.

Seeing that Klopp was really popular, the players instantly became much more well-behaved, and they didn't dare to have any luck, so they obediently checked into Cocoby's physiotherapy center.

They are not afraid of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, and they are not afraid of traditional Chinese medicine that tastes difficult to swallow, but they are afraid that they will not be able to play for three months, which is equivalent to personally announcing the early end of the season.

And during the season break in June and July after the end of the season, unless you are a member of the national team, you will not have a game to play, which means that there is no ball to play for nearly half a year, which is a disaster for a football player!

But all this has nothing to do with Li Qing, except for three bowls of soup every day, he can't hide from it, and he doesn't have to be like most of his teammates in the team, 'enjoying' the traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapist and unconventional restorative massage in the physiotherapy center!

After defeating Schalke 04 and returning home, Li Qing fulfilled his promise and invited Lebrand James to come to England as a guest.

The Tong family warmly welcomed their old man and idol as guests, and Liverpool's senior management also attended the banquet that night.

Li Qing is really not very interested in this kind of party, if it weren't for the favor of his father-in-law and wife-to-be, he wouldn't have bothered to appear at the banquet, after all, compared to the banquet, he would rather play one more ladder match or elite challenge.

Because in these recent games, Li Qing can feel that he is improving, and the opponent in the previous real game is too weak for him, especially if there is no reward yet.

Like Bournemouth, the opponent in the last round of the league, the Schalke 04 opponent in the Champions League, and the next FA Cup opponent, there are really no fragments of player ability to pick up.

After playing in the FA Cup, he will travel to Monaco with Jurgen Klopp and national team coach Gareth Southgate for the annual Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony.

Seriously, Li Qing is reluctant to go to this award ceremony, after all, except for the best team award, he estimates that he is unlikely to win the best male athlete award.

Because judging from the winners of this award in the past, the voters are more willing to vote for the best in individual competitive sports such as tennis and motor racing.

None of the players in team sports such as football, basketball, volleyball, and rugby have ever made a breakthrough to win this award, even if there are nominated footballers for the Laureus Awards every year.

Just like this year's Best Male Athlete nomination, Novak Djokovic is a Serbian tennis superstar, Hamilton is a famous F1 driver, and Kipchoge is a marathon world star.

These three people are also the three with the highest call for this award, and like the other three nominees, they are more like green leaves that accompany flowers, and among these three people, there is Li Qing.

Li Qing was nominated for the Laureus Award as the winner of the Golden Ball Award for the World Cup in Russia, which is what Li Qing is most tired of about this award.

was nominated for the Laureus Award, but it was the World Cup Golden Ball Award, not the World Footballer of the Year and the European Golden Ball Award, which really made Li Qing very puzzling.

In particular, another nominee, Mbappe, was nominated by relying on his blockbuster appearance in the World Cup in Russia, which seems a bit funny in Li Qing's opinion.

If it weren't for the needs of the club and the national team, and Lebront James was also nominated for this award like Li Qing, he really didn't want to join in the fun, because in his opinion, this award has no gold for him.

But there is no way, both the club and the national team are nominated for the Laureus Awards, and as the captain, he must follow, especially when the old man heard that Li Qing was going to attend the award ceremony with James, he was so interested that he wanted to go with him.

After knowing this situation, the club specially authorized Li Qing not to participate in the FA Cup on the weekend, and also chartered a plane to send Li Qing and his girlfriend's family, as well as James and others to Monaco.
