Chapter 53 Report to Melwood Tomorrow!
The day after the match day was a school week, and Li Qing started going to school again. Before he even reached the school gate, Liverpool fans gave him a thumbs up along the way, and it was even more amazing when he arrived at school.
As a future star, Li Qing adjusted his mentality very well. He waved enthusiastically to the enthusiastic Liverpool fans, and met the fans who wanted to take pictures with him unconditionally.
If the adult FA Cup is a stage for adult players to prove themselves, then the Youth FA Cup is a stage for young players to prove themselves. Klopp, who was working the next day, was ready to fulfill his promise to Mendes, but when he came to Kirkby Youth Training Academy, he learned that today was a holiday...
So, he could only wait until Wednesday to come.
As the person involved, Li Qing focused all his attention on studying. To put it simply, he was addicted to the ocean of knowledge and never tired of it.
During this period, Li Qing represented the Liverpool U18 youth team very well, and his academic performance has always ranked in the upper reaches of the class. The leaders of the high school department said that no matter how Li Qing performed in the final exam, he would enter the high school department of the Blue Coat Middle School.
However, Li Qing did not respond, because the high school department of the Blue Coat Middle School is not the best high school in the Liverpool area.
Of course, as a man with a soul close to 30, he certainly doesn't want to stay in school to "waste time", but Kirkby Youth Academy has clear regulations that players must complete high school credits, and there is no clear regulation on whether to go to college.
If you can't play professional football after graduating from high school, you will definitely continue to study, and if you can play professional football, you will definitely not continue to study.
According to the normal school age, you will graduate from high school at around 18 years old, but Li Qing is gifted and has been valued by the head coach of the first team before graduating from junior high school. Unfortunately, the relevant system of Kirkby Youth Academy has not made corresponding changes.
Let's get back to the point. Li Qing's two days of study passed quickly, and the midweek training day was announced to begin. He came to the training base one hour earlier to train according to his usual training rhythm.
His day-to-day extra training won unanimous praise from the Kirkby Youth Training Academy, so much so that Uncle Jack, the goalkeeper, gave Li Qing a thumbs up when he saw him from afar, and proudly said: "Li, I am optimistic that you will grow into a world football superstar under Jurgen's command!"
In this case, Li Qing would often smile and wave his hands in a low-key manner, indicating that it was too early for all these, and then quietly ran to the U18 training ground.
After 20 minutes of jogging and 5 minutes of ligament stretching, Li Qing, who was preparing for ball training, saw someone coming out of the corner of his eye. He looked up and saw a middle-aged man with half of his face covered with stubble, a pair of glasses hanging on his tall nose, and bright eyes.
This...isn't it Klopp, the head coach of the first team?
Why did he come to the U18 youth team?
There was no one else at this time, could it be...
Thinking of this possibility, his expression instantly became colorful.
Klopp has a rich social resume and is very good at judging people. He can probably guess what Li Qing is thinking about. He said with a smile: "Li, so happy? Did you think of something happy? Can you share it?"
Li Qing's excited expression instantly subsided, and he shook his head and said: "Mr. Jurgen, you saw it wrong just now, didn't you? I didn't laugh~"
"You~haha..."
Klopp looked at Li Qing meaningfully and said: "What a cute little guy."
Li Qing shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Mr. Jurgen, coming to Kirkby early in the morning, can't it be just a "Is it a whim?"
"You won't believe me if I say it's a whim." Klopp gently put his right hand on Li Qing's left shoulder and said bluntly: "Starting tomorrow, you will report to Melwood."
Guess is guess after all. When Li Qing really heard that Klopp promoted him to the first team, his mood instantly became extremely excited, but his facial expression was calm. He said without blushing or beating his heart: "Can't I go there today?"
Klopp stared at Li Qing suspiciously, a little puzzled. Logically speaking, as a young man, shouldn't he be excited to hear such happy news?
How... so calm?
It's unscientific!
Then, he looked at Li Qing with more appreciation, and the right hand on his shoulder couldn't help but rise up, and then slapped it heavily.
Thousands of words finally converged into a slap.
"Hiss~"
Li Qing gasped in pain, his pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at Klopp pitifully: "Mr. Jurgen, aren't you afraid that my left shoulder blade will be dislocated?"
"Uh..."
Klopp smiled dryly and put away his "wrong" right hand, turned around, leaving Li Qing with a back view, and waved his right hand: "Remember to report to Melwood at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Li Qing covered his left shoulder with his right hand, which was still in obvious pain, and looked at Klopp who was gradually going away, and said speechlessly: "This Klopp is too heavy. If I play under him in the future, will I be crippled? No, I have to exercise more and improve my body's ability to resist blows..."
Klopp promoted Li Qing to the first team and notified the youth training director Inglethorpe, who then informed the U18 coaching staff. Although Neil Critchley, Mike Garrity and Gerrard knew that this day would come, they did not expect it to come so soon.
The planned Youth FA Cup may be difficult to win.
Of course, they also thought that Li Qing’s promotion to the first team was only temporary, but as youth training coaches, they hoped that Li Qing would stay in the first team forever!
Thus, Li Qing's last day of training with the U18 youth team seemed to be a bit heavy.
