Chapter 24: The Battle of Kyoto

On March 24, Li Qingshan ended his short vacation and returned to the team. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Due to his participation in last night's game, Lippi specially gave Guangzhou Evergrande's international players a two-day holiday to return to the team on the 26th.

Due to the large number of international players in the Guangzhou Evergrande team, almost all the local players in the starting lineup are internationals, so Lippi did not arrange much content in the training during the two days.

With the return of the internationals, Guangzhou Evergrande's training is starting to get on track, and they will be preparing for the 29th away game against Beijing.

With Li Qingshan working hard in the world of football training camp every day, he has basically cultivated a tacit understanding with his teammates now.

At least he now has a pretty good understanding of the characteristics of his teammates, for example, he knows Zhang Linpeng's cross habits, he knows Muric's habitual running style, and he knows Elkeson's style of playing.

In just over a month, Li Qingshan looked like he had been in the team for a long time, and he had a pretty tacit understanding with his teammates.

Lippi was of course very happy with this, and he blamed it all on Li Qingshan's football IQ. He didn't know that Li Qingshan would train with the team in the virtual system every night, and if this month was converted into the time of the system, it would be a full five months.......

Barrios had also returned from injury, but he soon found himself in an awkward position.

His main position is lost!!

In the training, it was obvious that Barrios was assigned to the substitute side, and the yellow vest that symbolized the main position was replaced by Li Qingshan.

Although he was a little angry in his heart, Barrios did not dare to throw a big name in front of Lippi, the other party was a coach who had won the world championship, and there were more big names than himself.

In training, the players of Guangzhou Evergrande also felt this emotion of Barrios, which is also very understandable, if they come back from an injury, their main position will be replaced, and I believe that they will be very depressed.

The small waves in the Guangzhou Evergrande team did not affect the heated discussion about this focus battle in the outside world.

Speaking of Beijing Guoan, this is a team that has its own important place in the history of China's professional league, and since the professional reform, this team has not been absent from China's top professional league. Whether it's a league A or a Chinese Super League.

They are a team that cannot be ignored in Chinese football in history. In 2009, Beijing Guoan won the first top-flight championship in the team's history.

When it comes to Beijing Guoan, we have to mention their devil's home stadium - Beijing Workers Stadium.

The average attendance of 40,000 per game fully shows the support of Beijing fans for this team, even to the point that you need to draw a lottery to buy an annual package.

The lottery has become a part of the life of Beijingers, and shaking a license plate has made people who want to buy a car feel miserable, and now they even have to watch a game to draw the number, which has caused a lot of controversy. But that alone is enough to prove the team's popularity in Beijing.

For Guangzhou Evergrande, Beijing Guoan is also a hard nut to crack. Although Guangzhou Evergrande has won two consecutive Super League titles, they did not take much advantage of the record against Beijing Guoan, since Guangzhou Evergrande was promoted to the Chinese Super League in 2011, the two teams have met four times in the Chinese Super League, with a record of one win, two draws and one loss, and in the Workers' Stadium, Guangzhou Evergrande came here twice and only gained one draw and one defeat.

The grievances between Guangzhou Evergrande and Beijing Guoan began in 2010, when Guangzhou Evergrande was still playing in the Chinese League.

At that time, Guangzhou Evergrande had just taken over Guangzhou Football Club from the Guangzhou Football Association, and began to recruit for the team, buying players at unimaginable prices for some previous Chinese Super League teams. This also makes the traditional forces of the Chinese Super League feel threatened, but also do not forget to laugh at the "nouveau riche" behavior of Guangzhou Evergrande.

That's right, the Beijing media used "nouveau riche" to describe Guangzhou Evergrande, in the eyes of the Beijing media, Guangzhou Evergrande's behavior of throwing money is the nouveau riche, and openly ridiculed in a certain program, "Is this money still money?" Bought! "The Club World Cup is up to you" and so on.

This naturally made many Guangzhou fans angry, and with the addition of some Beijing fans in line with the statements of the Beijing media, the antagonism between the two sides began to spread from the fans and gradually extended to the club level.

With Guangzhou Evergrande's two consecutive championships in the Chinese Super League, this atmosphere of confrontation is getting stronger and stronger, and the fans of the two clubs have long been incompatible.

"I don't think there's a problem, football is a competitive sport and it's normal to have antagonisms." Li Qingshan said indifferently in an interview with the media. "As long as this confrontation doesn't turn violent."

"So what do you think of this away game, you must know that Guangzhou Evergrande has not been able to win this stadium in the last two seasons." A reporter asked, he may think that Li Qingshan, who came back from the UK, underestimated the power of the home field of the Workers' Stadium Devil.

'It's not going to be a problem for me, all I have to deal with on the pitch is the 11 players against the opponent and as for the fans around me, it won't affect me. Li Qingshan said indifferently.

In the eyes of the Beijing media, this is the fearlessness of the ignorant, and he did not look at the terrifying pressure created by tens of thousands of fans of the Gongti at all, while in the eyes of the pro-Guangzhou Evergrande media, Li Qingshan's words show that he is confident and has the demeanor of a general.

The media will always have an ass.

And in the locker room, his teammates also seemed to take the game very seriously. Beijing Guoan is a favourable contender for the title this season and a rival to Guangzhou Evergrande, so if they can win away from home, the road to the title will be smoother.

The sound of the Beijing Workers' Stadium is indeed very loud, which is what Li Qingshan feels when he stands in the players' tunnel.

At this moment, he is in the tunnel of the Workers Stadium, waiting with his teammates to play.

The live radio is broadcasting the rosters of both teams.

Now that the away team mentioned in the broadcast is "Guangzhou Evergrande", the workers' stadium has already resounded with boos.

However, this did not move Li Qingshan, he seemed to be born for such an occasion, whether it was cheers or boos for him, the more people there were, the more great the god, the more excited he was, and he seemed to be born to turn these boos and cheers into his own fighting spirit.

He stood in the players' tunnel with his head up, listening to the sound of rolling outside, only to feel that he was getting more and more excited, and even the muscles in his body trembled with excitement.

I love this kind of scene so much!!

Li Qingshan bit the corner of his mouth and showed a hideous smile........
