Chapter Ninety-Five: Everything Develops for the Better
Li Qingshan has not talked about it in public, and he is used to scoring goals to fight back all challenges.
After winning against Tottenham Hotspur in the last round, the fifteenth round of the Premier League has also come to an end.
Manchester City lost 4-2 away to Leicester City, and Pep Guardiola's side have dropped out of the top four after a winless run and are now fifth.
Manchester United took the win to raise their tally to 35 points, and have regained their top spot as teams at the top of the table have dropped points in recent rounds. In second place was Chelsea, with Arsene Wenger's side dropping points in those rounds as Arsenal's team briefly stayed at the top of the table for a week before being overtaken by Manchester United and Chelsea. In fourth place is Liverpool, which is slowly recovering.
After losing to Manchester United, Liverpool did go through a period of chaos, but fortunately, that mixed round period happened to be the League Cup and Europa League competitions, which did not have much impact on the league, in addition to the League Cup was eliminated, the Europa League group stage Liverpool also stabilized the situation and successfully qualified as the first in the group.
Jurgen Klopp managed to stabilize his team and then clung to the top teams in the standings.
December officially entered the Christmas Express season of the English Premier League, and the devil's schedule began in the sixteenth round, when Manchester United played Crystal Palace away.
On 16 December, at the 26,000-capacity Selhurst Park, Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 3-1 cleanly, with Li Qingshan scoring twice in the game and was once again voted Man of the Match.
After a "goal drought", Li Qingshan's goal feels like it has been recovered, and Manchester United won Crystal Palace away from home! ”
"Harry Kane's mood is understandable that he wants to chase Li Qingshan, but look at Li Qingshan's performance on the court, instead of asking for a change in his teammate's goal, the most direct way to defeat Li Qingshan is to use the goal to fight back. However, in Tottenham's home game against Hull City, Harry Kane did nothing and did not score, and the scorer list, which was finally slightly narrowed by various means, was opened up by Li Qingshan. ”
"Competing for the Golden Boot with a super striker who has scored around 50 goals in a single season, I admire Harry's courage..."
"Li Qingshan is now a pillar player of Manchester United, look at the games he missed with an injury, Ancelotti must be praying at any time that Li Qingshan will never be injured again..."
After those few defeats, everyone understands that Manchester United is really indispensable to Li Qingshan, if anyone can come up with how to contain Li Qingshan, the coaches of the other 19 teams in the Premier League will unite to give him awards - everyone knows that to contain Li Qingshan is to contain Manchester United, if Manchester United is in such a crazy state as last season, then everyone should not play this season, anyway, the final champion is Manchester United.
The camera of the TV broadcast has been following Li Qingshan, which is the best treatment in this scene.
At this time, Ancelotti appeared in the camera, and he stepped forward to hug Li Qingshan.
It's normal for the head coach to hug his players to celebrate after the victory, but he and Li Qingshan hugged for a longer time than when others hugged.
They beat Crystal Palace away to pick up a valuable three points and keep themselves at the top of the table. However, this did not put Manchester United away from the chasing soldiers behind them.
Chelsea beat Sunderland 1-0 away and continued to bite Manchester United by one point, while Liverpool lost to Everton because of Arsenal's upset, they seized the opportunity to beat Middlesbrough 3-0 away to overtake Arsenal in third place in the standings, while Chelsea fell directly to fifth after the loss - Manchester City also won!
After a round of league play, except for the top two teams, the rankings of the top few positions in the standings have changed, so you can imagine how competitive the Premier League is this season!
With just over two days to go after this round of league games, United are on their way to another away game.
On December 18, in the 17th round of the English Premier League, Hawthorn Stadium, Manchester United challenged West Bromwich Albion away.
In three days, playing two away games in a row, Ancelotti really wanted to rip the heads of the FA officials open to see if it was!
But the schedule has come out and is obviously difficult to modify.
So Ancelotti had to choose rotation in this game, Li Qingshan, Di Maria, Mata Pogba were all on the bench, and Ashley Young, Rafael, Smalling, Jones and others got the opportunity to play.
Although Li Qingshan said that he did not need to rotate, Ancelotti did not dare to overuse Li Qingshan, after all, if there was a muscle strain due to fatigue or something, it would be more than worth the loss - it would take at least a month for a muscle strain to return to the game.
West Bromwich Albion were unceremonious against a rotating Manchester United, who played well at home and were already leading by one goal at the end of the first half.
In the 70th minute of the second half, United still failed to equalise.
At this time, Ancelotti could only send Li Qingshan. When Li Qingshan warmed up on the sidelines in a horse coat, the camera lens was firmly locked on him.
The West Bromwich Albion fans also booed, and Li Qingshan's ability terrified them!
"Ancelotti is going to send his nuclear weapons!! Li Qingshan warmed up on the sidelines and was ready to come on as a substitute! The narrator shouted.
Facts have proved that the effect of Li Qingshan's appearance is immediate!
Although Manchester United is still a semi-main substitute lineup, when Li Qingshan came on, Manchester United's attack quickly paid off.
In the 74th minute, just two minutes after Li Qingshan came on the field, he penetrated the West Bromwich Albion goal through a long-range shot from the periphery and helped Manchester United equalize.
And that wasn't the end of it, in the 80th minute, Manchester United took the lead away.
This time it was not Li Qingshan who scored, but he assisted.
Li Qingshan took the ball with his back near the penalty line, and now West Brom is very dead on his turn to shoot, but Li Qingshan is not just turning and shooting, Manchester United has other players.
He took the ball and sent a forward diagonal pass down the running line of right wing-back Rafael.
Rafael stepped forward into the penalty area, Li Qingshan's pass was just right, Rafael did not stop the ball and volleyed directly, and the West Brom goalkeeper could not do anything about it.
Li Qingshan played less than ten minutes and helped Manchester United go from falling behind to overtaking!
A nuclear weapon worthy of the name.
In the end, United won 2-1 and Carlo Ancelotti achieved the purpose of the rotation, and the team also won the three points.
Although the main rivals Chelsea have not dropped points this round, for Manchester United, the devil's schedule for December is almost halfway over.
Everything is fine now, and the United fans are full of hope!
As long as they can grab points in December, then the probability of winning the championship at the end of the season is very high - in the history of the Premier League, 80% of the teams that can still be at the top of the table after the end of the December Devil's schedule have won the title!
