Chapter 104: How's the Status?
What is the status of Chapter 104?
Under Li Qingshan's resolute denial, Gao Meili finally did not get to the bottom of this issue.
However, Li Qingshan soon discovered another problem....... Manchester United's FA Cup game is just two days away, which means that he will definitely not be available for these two days, and his parents have finally come to England, so they can't just stay in the house, right? And he didn't worry about the second elder, who didn't know much English, going out alone.
In the end, Li Qingshan hesitated, but still dialed Tian Shaohua's phone number.
Tian Shaohua, who originally came to England to play, readily agreed to Li Qingshan's request. And Li Qingshan told his parents that after finding a tour guide for them, Gao Meili and Li Xiong glanced at each other tacitly and nodded to each other silently.
Li Qingshan didn't see his parents' small movements, and after everything was arranged, he rushed back to the training base to prepare for Manchester United's next game.
..........
The opponent in the fourth round of the FA Cup was Derby County, and while Li Qingshan and his teammates were preparing for this game, Tian Shaohua took Li Xiong and his wife around Manchester.
And on the day of the game, several of them also sat in the stands of Glory Park, the home stadium of Derby County.
The game was played at home to Derby County, with United drawing one away in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
But luckily it was an away game, otherwise Irma would not have gone to the game - when they founded United United, they made a vow that they would never spend money on the team of American businessmen. And if it weren't for the leadership of Irma, a fan who is familiar with England, Tian Shaohua, who is blind to the ball, and two middle-aged Chinese couples who don't know English very well, I'm afraid it will not be easy to take a ride to watch this away game.
Derbyshire is located in the middle of England, not too far from Manchester, and a train ride will pass through a field of barley, wheat, oats and potatoes. However, there are not many farmers in the fields.
In fact, if you look at the cities in the UK, they may be no different from the big cities in China, and even their houses are more dilapidated. It is in their countryside that truly reflects the deep roots of the British Empire and their identity as a developed country. Britain's agricultural population is only one million people, this million people have to take care of the equivalent of Anhui and Jiangsu provinces of arable land, in the intensification and mechanization, British agriculture is in the forefront of the world, therefore, the rural scenery along the way, accompanied by the roar of agricultural machinery, and the fertile field is full of fertile fields.
Li Xiong and his wife and Tian Shaohua took the slow train in England all the way from Manchester to Derbyshire, but because of this idyllic scenery, the road was quite comfortable.
Speaking of Derby County Football Club, this is an old football club in the history of English football, they are founding members of the Football League, and the widely used term "Derby" in the sports world is said to have originated from Derby County.
The word derby is said to have originated from the Derby horse, founded in 1780 by the 12th Earl of Derby. "Derby" is the small English town of Derby, where the British horse races are held, and the horses produced in Derbyshire are famous in the British horse racing world. In 1870, after the British Earl of Derby founded the British Derby, the horse race is held on the first Wednesday of June in Epsom near London every year, which is one of the most famous horse racing competitions in Britain, and this day is also named Derby Day. In horse racing, most of the horses are from Derbyshire, and the term "derby" is used to describe "a race between horses from Derbyshire". Gradually, the "derby" was extended to other sports competitions, and the British quoted it as a match between two teams from the same city to describe the intensity of the game, which was the derby!
Derby County have been unable to be promoted to the Premier League since they were relegated to the Championship again in 2008, but this season it looks like Derby County have a lot of promotion hopes, and they are now at the top of the Championship.
However, at such a level, this game is not a question of winning or losing, Manchester United have won all of their last seven years against Derby County, and in terms of head-to-head records, Derby County are definitely the underdogs. And the position of both sides in the league also determines the attitude of both teams towards this game.
For Manchester United, due to the huge advantage in the league, Ancelotti can invest more in this game, after all, the FA Cup is also a very important trophy in English football, and if possible, Ancelotti will certainly want to be able to bag it as well.
Derby County are currently fifth in the Championship, but they are not far from the teams ahead of them and they have a desperate need to grab points in the league. Therefore, it is very likely that Derby County will strategically abandon the FA Cup, especially against Manchester United, who are even less likely to commit heavy reinforcements to Manchester United in this game.
In fact, people pay more attention to other things, such as the state of Li Qingshan who "hangs in nightclubs".
When the players on both sides lined up, the camera camera kept following Li Qingshan, as if he wanted to see something on his expressionless face.
"Li Qingshan also made his debut in the FA Cup, and a few days ago the media broke the news that the Chinese striker appeared in a nightclub for the first time, and it is said that he also brought back two girls from the nightclub at once, and I don't know if this has any impact on the striker's state."
Before the game, the commentators were obviously more concerned about some gossip news and the like.
"But I think with Li Qingshan's strength, it is still enough to cope with such a "dense" schedule! Haha...."
..........
Juan Mata and Angel Di Maria were both rested in this game, with Ashley Young and Wayne Rooney coming in place, and Blind, Carrick and Fellaini in midfield, but in the back line, Manchester United maintained their main line-up, goalkeeper David De Gea, the centre-back combination of Hummels partnered behind, left wing-back Sandro and right wing-back Valencia.
When the game started, people wanted to see if Li Qingshan's form had been affected.
But you certainly didn't see anything in the first few minutes of the game. Li Qingshan's performance was as usual.
He still wants to be involved in the team's frontcourt attack through deep running as usual.
In the second minute of the game, Li Qingshan and Rooney completed a continuous cooperation, and finally Rooney stuffed a through ball, Li Qingshan successfully countered offside and rushed before the defender came up to make up the defense, and completed the first shot attempt of the game.
However, the goal was blocked by the Derby County goalkeeper.
At least judging from this shot, Li Qingshan's form does not seem to have been affected in any way.
