Football: The strongest post-zero generation

At the end of the intra-squad game, the U15-U16 players were like students after school, carrying their own bags and leaving the Kirkby Training Academy.

"Li, see you tomorrow."

Curtis Jones waved goodbye to Li Qing, who had completed fifty push-ups, and followed his mother off the field.

"See you tomorrow."

Watching the figures of Curtis Jones and his mother gradually disappear, Li Qing became melancholy.

Through searching the memory, he learned that the original owner of this body had a family tragedy four years ago. Both his parents died during an overseas trip, leaving only him alive in this world who was on a competition mission at the time.

Li Qing was not an orphan before he traveled through time, but he was no better than an orphan. His mother died early and his father was a gambler.

His ability to adjust mentally is quite good. Although he is alone, at least now he has enough food for the whole family.

After both his parents passed away, he left two million pounds and a nice apartment, which meant that he could live a carefree life as long as he didn't spend money indiscriminately.

But now that the system is with him, his future is bound to be bright. Being a professional player has always been Li Qing's childhood wish. Now that he has such an opportunity, wouldn't it be better?

He knew that this must be God's arrangement.

Just as Li Qing was walking towards his home carrying a Puma satchel, U15-U16 echelon coach Tom Cushaw and U18 youth team tactical analyst Scott Masson were making a routine report to the youth training director Inglethorpe. Today’s matchup process.

Young players such as Curtis Jones, Elijah Bonner and Daniel Griffiths are the focus of the youth academy. It is reasonable for their outstanding performance, but Tom Cushaw and Scott Matson The written report submitted was not by a few people, but by a fifteen-year-old boy named Li Qing.

Liverpool youth training director Inglethorpe looked at the report in his hand unexpectedly: "Beat the combination of Rhys Williams and Remy Savage? It's interesting."

According to the strength of the two, even if they are placed as the main substitute in the U18 youth team, a fifteen-year-old boy can score seven goals alone with their partnership. The potential worth cultivating is no less than that of Curtis Jones and Lee. Ann Brewster and Ben Woodburn.

It's just...why haven't I heard of such a powerful player before?

Tom Cushaw had a good eye for words and emotions, so he explained the reason to his supervisor Inglethorpe.

After a while, Inglethorpe nodded lightly: "Being a professional player is not as easy as imagined. You must have an iron will and an unyielding spirit. If this little player named Li can really get out of his sinking , he will definitely have a bright future, so pay more attention to him in the next games."

Having said this, he looked at Tom Cushaw again: "Tom, is there a video of this game? I want to see his performance."

Tom Cushaw took out the USB flash drive that had been prepared from his bag and put it on the table: "This is the video of the entire game."

After Tom Cushaw and Scott Matson left the youth training director's office in the office building, Inglethorpe inserted the USB flash drive into the computer and watched the 15-minute game of the U16-U echelon.

The game at the beginning had no value for watching, until there was a brief pause in the game. The knocked-out red No. 19 seemed to be a different person, and his performance gradually became more active, especially his superior golf quotient.

He knows how to look for opportunities when being guarded, and uses his fast speed and good foot skills to cooperate with the team in preventing counterattacks.

His speed is superior to others, his sense of the ball is excellent, his breakthrough ability is extremely strong, and his calmness in front of the goal is incredible.

These four characteristics are very common in different professional players, but when they are all concentrated in one person, they become unique.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

At this moment, the office door rang. Inglethorp's brows jumped and his voice was a little unhappy: "Who?"

"It's me, Jurgen."

Inglethorp's expression suddenly changed, he quickly changed his expression, opened the office door himself, and said with a smile: "What kind of strong wind brought the head coach of our first team here?"

Klopp looked sad and shrugged his shoulders: "You also know that there are a lot of injuries in the first team now. Sadio Mane will participate in the African Cup of Nations in January next year. I would like to ask if you have any good young forwards to recommend. "

"Ben Woodburn, Harry Wilson, Alexander-Arnold and Glenn McCauley can all have a go, it just... seems like you're asking for more."

Inglethorpe spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.

"Aren't there young players with more distinctive characteristics?"

As Klopp said this, his eyes naturally turned to the display screen on Inglethorpe's desk that was still playing the video. On the screen, he saw a very fast player in a red vest using his speed and skills to beat two defensive players. Subconsciously blurted out: "Beautiful!"

The player was full speed, but he did not rely on his speed advantage to get past the defending central defender. Instead, he used a realistic fake move to shake the defender's center of gravity before facing the goalkeeper.

The next choice was not hasty, very calm, and he passed the goalkeeper and hit the empty goal.

Klopp has been keen on training young players since he coached Mainz. When coaching Dortmund, he created a youth storm, and he became interested in watching young players who use extremely reasonable technical movements.

Inglethorpe is also full of interest. Such an outstanding young player will definitely be used by the first team in time!

The video continued to play, with Klopp and Inglethorpe staring attentively until Li Qing scored five goals. Klopp pressed the space bar with his left hand, and the picture froze. His eyes were filled with excitement and he pointed at the scorer: " This is?"

Inglethorpe shrugged his shoulders and said: "This is a small player in the U15-U16 echelon. It is not suitable for you."

"Oh? Are you from the U15-U16 echelon?"

Klopp's excited expression was gradually replaced by regret: "It's really not suitable for the first team."

Nowadays, the front line of the first team is affected by injuries. Young people aged 15 or 16 will definitely not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the first team competition. Klopp sighed in his heart, and when he was about to leave, he asked again: "By the way... Alek Si, what’s this little guy’s name?”

Inglethorpe looked down at Li Qing's resume and said truthfully: "qing lee, local household registration book, Chinese."

"Li? Chinese?" Klopp raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "It's a bit interesting."

Although the boy in the game video is only fifteen or sixteen years old, as long as he grows up quickly enough, he can enter the first team.

Aren’t Mario Gotze who coaches Dortmund, Ben Woodburn and Alexander-Arnold who coach Liverpool such talented people?

Li Qing is currently not suitable for the first team. Who can say for sure in the future?

Didn’t superstars like Pele, Maradola, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Rooney and others all become famous at a young age?

In Klopp's heart, he has already consciously paid attention to a Chinese named Li Qing.
