Chapter 48 The Chinese Super League as the dust settles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Qingshan woke up from his sleep in a daze. He looked at the alarm clock at the bedside, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning. He gently sat up from the bed, habitually pulling out the sweat-soaked pillows and sheets and throwing them into the washing machine.

After yesterday's game, they returned to Guangzhou on the private jet of team owner Xu Jiayin that evening. Before getting off the plane, Lippi announced that the team's main players would be given three days off.

In fact, four days after this match, Guangzhou Evergrande will face Shanghai East Asia away. But because the team has won the Super League championship in advance, the next Super League games are no longer meaningful, and Lippi will certainly not consume the physical energy of his main players in the Super League needlessly.

Therefore, when facing the next two Super League games, Lippi is completely using the team's substitute lineup plus reserve players to deal with it.

Of course, none of this has much to do with Li Qingshan, as the team's main center, hasn't he had a good rest this season.

Because the team has just experienced an away trip to South Korea, this away trip still consumes a lot of physical energy from the players, and even the iron-like Li Qingshan feels a little tired. It was like sleeping until nine o'clock now, which was rarely seen on him before this.

After brushing his teeth and washing up, he simply made a little breakfast.

His fridge is filled with a combination of foods that are strictly in accordance with the team's dietitian, and it is difficult for him to continue to lose his body fat after his current body fat percentage drops to 12 percent, which is a long-term process, in addition to gym training, his usual diet is also very important.

Less oil, less salt, less irritating food, Li Qingshan, as a Hunan native with a heavy taste, has not eaten hometown dishes for a long time.

This is also the professionalism that an athlete should have, and in this regard, Li Qingshan has done irreproachably.

After Li Qingshan simply made his breakfast, he picked up the tablet, opened a news website, and ate breakfast while watching the news.

On the front page of the site is of course the news about last night's game. As the first Chinese team to spend the AFC Champions League final after the restructuring, Guangzhou Evergrande is undoubtedly the focus of the news these days.

The media coverage is, of course, full of praise. In the away and home fixtures, Guangzhou Evergrande won away from South Korea, and although it was only a narrow 2-1 victory, it also gave them a very clear advantage in the second leg at home.

If Seoul FC are to knock out Guangzhou Evergrande, they will have to score more than two goals first, and Guangzhou Evergrande cannot score yet.

But judging from Guangzhou Evergrande's home performance this season, almost no team can do this at Tianhe Stadium, not to mention letting Lippi's team from Italy concede more than two goals, so that Guangzhou Evergrande does not score at their home stadium? It's almost impossible.

How fierce Guangzhou Evergrande's offensive firepower is this season is obvious to all.

Therefore, all the reports in the Chinese media are quite optimistic, as if the second leg does not exist, and some media almost say that Guangzhou Evergrande has already taken the AFC Champions League trophy into their arms.

However, as a member of the team, Li Qingshan was not complacent because of the optimism of the media.

In fact, after the game, Guangzhou Evergrande's locker room was indeed filled with optimism. But Lippi, as an elder who has experienced a lot of battles and has seen a lot, still gave the players of Guangzhou Evergrande some life experience.

At that time, the players of Guangzhou Evergrande celebrated wantonly in the away team's locker room, singing and dancing with their shoulders on their backs.

However, Lippi was not as happy as the players, and the original smile on his face slowly disappeared after pushing the door in the locker room after Lippi saw the situation in the dressing room.

"Gentlemen, do you think the trophy of the champion is already in your hands?"

Lippi's cold words stunned the singing and dancing players.

They stopped what they were doing and looked at Lippi, who had a serious expression. They know that the look on the manager's face is not a joke on them.

Locker room DJ Rong Hao secretly turned off the loud music in the locker room and gathered around the other players, waiting for Lippi's instructions.

"The story of Istanbul Night, I think you've all heard it, I don't want to repeat it!" Lippi looked around at the players of Guangzhou Evergrande, who had been quiet for a week, and continued: "We still have 90 minutes to play back at home, and if you think that the score is enough for us to sleep, I don't think the championship trophy will fall into our hands. The opponent has 90 minutes to recover the score!! ”

"Forget about this game! The championship is still far away, and now is not the time to celebrate. ”

Lippi's words calmed down the players. Then Lippi's words made them happy again.

"After the team returned to Guangzhou, the players in the squad for this game will have a three-day holiday!"

The players who were still training just now were stunned, and then they quickly reacted.

"Long live !!"

…………………………….

On October 30, Lippi took some substitutes and reserve team players to Shanghai to face Shanghai East Asia. In this game, the main players of Guangzhou Evergrande did not even go to Shanghai, but stayed at the Lishui training base.

Since the coaching staff is not there, they are only doing some restorative training. In Guangzhou, which sent substitutes and reserves, Evergrande drew 1-1 away to Shanghai East Asia in Shanghai. Feng Junyan, the oldest player in the team, equalized for Guangzhou Evergrande.

On November 3, in the last round of the Chinese Super League, Guangzhou Evergrande hosted Qingdao Zhongneng. In this game, Lippi sent a lineup of substitutes and the main team. Li Qingshan, Conca, and Muric were all on the bench. The only foreign player on the pitch was Elkeson, and the team's captain, veteran Zheng Zhi, didn't even make the squad for the game.

Obviously, after asking about the second leg of the AFC Champions League final a few days later, Lippi no longer cares much about winning or losing in the Chinese Super League. Anyway, at this time, the result of the Super League does not make much sense.

However, Qingdao Zhongneng, which has been relegated in advance, is still unable to collapse when facing the second-tier lineup of Guangzhou Evergrande. Huang Bowen took the lead in the 19th minute, and then Elkeson scored a goal, which was also Elkeson's 26th goal in the Chinese Super League this season.

At the 80-minute mark of the second half, Lippi made three substitutions in a row, with Li Qingshan, Muric and Conca coming on one after another to get them on to get used to the atmosphere of the game and warm up for the second leg of the AFC Champions League final on November 9.

Conca then scored another goal in the 90th minute, and in the last league game of the season, Guangzhou Evergrande won 3-0 at home to Qingdao Zhongneng, who had been relegated early.

Although Li Qingshan had ten minutes of playing time in this game, he did not score, so his goals in the Chinese Super League this season stayed at 31.

I don't know, how long will it be before a new player will appear to break him?

And the final ranking of this season has also come out, and the top four are Guangzhou Evergrande, Shandong Luneng, Beijing Guoan, and Guizhou Renhe.

The fifteenth-place Qingdao Zhongneng and the sixteenth-place Wuhan Zall were relegated to the Chinese League.

The dust has settled on the Chinese Super League this season.
