Young Football Player

After the Lawrence Awards, Jackie Lee's arrangement was to rest for one night and then leave for England the next day.

But early the next morning, while he still had time, he visited Shanghai SIPG, a local football club in Shanghai.

This is his visit to China this time, and he was invited by a rare football aspect.

To put it simply, Jackie Lee is going to visit the Shanghai SIPG Club, communicate with SIPG players, and jointly promote a harmonious society.

When I came to SIPG's training ground, the players here were quite reserved, and no one dared to take the initiative to talk to him, a well-known European star.

On the contrary, SIPG head coach Eriksson is very familiar. This guy used to travel around in Europe and served as the head coach of the England national team. He speaks English very fluently.

Li Chenglong was like a leader inspecting, going back and forth from the first team to the youth team, and then the accompanying reporter camera team took pictures of him in all directions.

I believe that these photos can play a very good role in the promotion of SIPG.

They spent money to invite Jackie Lee to come, of course they must try their best to achieve the effect.

During the "inspection" of the first team, Li Chenglong pretended to pat their star of hope, Wu Sanshi, and said, "Come on, young man, I think you have a better future than Zhang Xizhe."

In fact, in terms of age, Li Chenglong is two years younger than Wu Sanshi.

The "inspection" was over, and Jackie Chan and Old John left for England that afternoon, while Barnett stayed in China and had several business endorsements to discuss.

When he came to China once, Lee Chenglong still gained something in terms of commercial endorsement.

This was originally the purpose that Barnett had been asking to come here, to gain both fame and fortune.

This weekend when Jackie Chan was in China for the awards ceremony, the Premier League was still going on in England.

Although Jackie Lee was absent, Liverpool still won the mid-range team Newcastle United cleanly at home 2:0, and did not lose the chain.

In other games at the same time, Manchester United defeated Manchester City 4:2 at home in the Manchester Derby. Arsenal also continued to play their own four attributes, winning Burnley 1:0 away, but Tottenham upset 0 at home. :1 loss to Aston Villa,

It is basically out of the ranks of the four.

In this case, Arsenal continued to retain second place with 64 points, Manchester United ranked third with 63 points, Liverpool and Manchester City both had 60 points, but Manchester City ranked fourth with a goal difference advantage over Liverpool.

Manchester City suffered a two-game losing streak in the last two rounds, and fell directly from second to fourth, which is already very dangerous.

This also makes the make-up match between Liverpool and Manchester City very important. It is basically a key battle for the two teams to compete for the fourth. Even if this stalemate continues, it is very likely to become a battle for life and death.

Manchester City is also self-defeating. Before most of the season, they were firmly ranked second, and they even had a chance to compete with Chelsea. But in the second half of the season, they were eliminated in the Champions League and domestic cups. Lost the chain in the league.

Now it's all right, Manchester United took the opportunity to climb up, and as long as the Red Devils don't have any problems, they can sit on the Diaoyutai and watch Manchester City and Liverpool, the two rival teams, bite each other. No matter who kills the other, they Both will definitely be very happy.

It is also worth mentioning that Chelsea have also taken advantage of the recent rounds of civil wars between the other top six teams. Their current points have reached 78 points, 14 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal.

Now there are 6 rounds left in the Premier League, which is basically the championship.

Even if it goes well, the Blues can win the championship early in the next round.

If it does, then Chelsea will tie Manchester United in the 01/02 season and become the second Premier League team to win the championship five rounds ahead of schedule.

And what's interesting is that Chelsea's opponent in the next round happens to be Manchester United.

At this critical moment of fierce competition for the fourth, the different results of Chelsea and Manchester United will definitely have different effects.

After Li Chenglong returned to England, he was immediately asked by an English reporter about his football bet with Juanfu.

Both Li Chenglong and Juan Fu are very famous figures in England. Their bet at the Lawrence Awards Ceremony naturally spread to Europe long ago.

Of course, the British media will not let go of such news hype.

"If Sherlock is willing, I'd be happy to compete with him. I plan to be pierced by me, divided by the ball, or even picked up by me. He can choose freely." Li Chenglong replied half-jokingly.

"In addition, he may have forgotten that I only scored four goals at the Emirates Stadium a few days ago. It is definitely not a wise choice for him to choose to play with me there."

A brief response to the reporter, Li Chenglong needs to join the team as soon as possible to prepare for the first round of the next quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The Champions League red-blue battle between Liverpool and Chelsea has been conducted five times before, four of which were in the knockout stage, and the two sides eliminated their opponents twice.

But it is worth noting that the two teams have met in the Champions League quarter-finals only once before, and that time was when Liverpool lost to Chelsea.

There are also the two times when Liverpool eliminated Chelsea, both of which were Liverpool's first guest and then the host.

In the two times Liverpool was eliminated by Chelsea, it was Liverpool who played first and then away.

So this time, Liverpool faced Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the Champions League first.

And judging from the current Premier League standings, Chelsea is 18 points ahead of Liverpool, which is the most intuitive manifestation of the strength of the two teams.

So this time the Premier League civil war in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, everyone is generally more optimistic about Chelsea.

The "Liverpool Echo" has already thought of a retreat for Liverpool. With the current situation of Liverpool, reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League has already met expectations.

At this time, losing to Chelsea and being out is not shameful at all. It just happens to take the opportunity to go back to compete for the fourth and try to qualify for the Champions League next season.

If you can qualify for the Champions League next season, plus the Champions League Champions League, the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and the semi-finals in the FA Cup (if you can beat Arsenal in the semi-finals, you can even win the championship), then this season Liverpool has been successful.

After all, the team is now undergoing an obvious transition from old to new, and is in a period of pain.

Such a statement has actually been recognized by many Liverpool fans.

Many people are worried that if Liverpool continue to fight on multiple lines, it is really possible to collapse on multiple lines.

When it really collapses at that time, Liverpool will basically be defeated across the board, and they will lose nothing.

Out of the Champions League, lost to Arsenal in the FA Cup, and lost in the top four in the league. At that time, even though there is a League Cup champion in hand, it will be useless. The Champions League will not be played, and the team's income will be cut by more than half.

In fact, if you think about it seriously, this situation is really possible.

In addition, for a giant team like Liverpool, qualification for the Champions League is actually more important than a League Cup or even an FA Cup.

Arsenal's performance has not been good in recent years, but Wenger's position has always been stable. Even if there are occasional fans calling Wenger to dismiss get out of class, the Arsenal management trusts him very much.

Why?

It is because of the top four rankings that are very stable every year, and the Champions League qualification every year.

When Wenger can't compete for four and fail to qualify for the Champions League that day, then he will not be far from getting out of class.

So for the Liverpool management, the current four is Liverpool's top priority.

But for Li Chenglong personally, the Champions League is what he values ​​most.

Only by achieving good results in the Champions League can he continue to compete for next year's Ballon d'Or.

If the quarter-finals of the Champions League are out, there will only be one Premier League Golden Boot at that time, and it is impossible for him to compete with Ronaldo and Messi.
