Chapter 42: The Genius and the Madman

The away victory over Qatar brought the Chinese team's points to 12 points, while Qatar's points, which had won four consecutive games, could only stop at 12 points. With the advantage of goal difference, the Chinese team squeezed out Qatar and ranked first in the group. Moreover, the Chinese team has one less round than the Qatar team, which means that the Chinese team has a great advantage in the competition for the first place in the group.

China's next opponents are Bhutan, Hong Kong, Maldives, and in the final round of the group stage, they play Qatar at home. Predictably, neither Bhutan, Hong Kong, nor the Maldives will be able to pose any threat to China, so if Qatar also win the two rounds before they face China in the final round, then China can secure a three-point lead over Qatar before facing Qatar at home in the final round. And if Qatar wants to advance directly, in addition to two consecutive wins in the next games against Hong Kong and Bhutan, they also have to defeat the Chinese team by as big a score as possible at the home stadium of the Chinese team!

The probability is too low.

Therefore, after winning this crucial battle, the Chinese media can't wait to announce it.

Top 12! Here we go!!

……….

The domestic media and fans were very excited, but Li Qingshan did not have any waves in his heart.

In his heart, the bottom goal is to qualify for the World Cup finals and the top 40 of the Asian qualifiers, and the intensity of such a game is simply not worth mentioning for Li Qingshan.

After the Qatar game, Li Qingshan flew back to Manchester the day after the next round of the Premier League, although there was still a week to go before the next round of the Premier League.

For Li Qingshan, he certainly knows how important he is to the Chinese team.

The top 40 matches are okay, if the top 12 matches come in the future, if there is no Li Qingshan, it may be too difficult for the Chinese team to break through the top 12 matches.

For Li Qingshan, as a Chinese player, he knows that if he suffers an injury in the future top 12 matches, the difficulty for the Chinese team without him to break through the top 12 matches will rise by more than an order of magnitude.

In the next year or two, he can't afford to be hurt.

Therefore, Li Qingshan's life is like that of a puritan, the desire to compete in the World Cup makes his life quite regular, he needs to ensure sufficient sleep and rest time, and in the football training camp system, he also has to ensure that his body is never tired when he plays.

Alcohol and football are almost two things that can be linked together in England. On top of that, there are so many temptations for players in this world.

Most of the professional players who play in the top league have a lot of money for a lot of money. A young man with strong blood and a lot of money on him is naturally easily attracted by various temptations.

Nightclubs, beautiful women, alcohol. I wonder how many talented players have been corrupted by these things?

One of the most typical is a large number of South American players.

Brazil, for example. The gap between rich and poor in Brazil is quite large, with many players living in slums for a long time, while Brazil's high society is in line with international standards. Poverty and affluence have all but divided Brazil into two countries.

And those Brazilian players who grew up in the slums, started playing on dirt floors, and then became famous, after they had money, it was easy for them to indulge in the world of flowers and degenerate themselves.

The most typical example is Ronaldinho.

A talented player like Ronaldinho, who stood at the top of his squad at the age of twenty-three or four, and won almost all the individual and team honours, easily lost the motivation to work hard. So it began to go downhill before it reached its real peak, which made people sigh.

The drunken gold fan made Xiao Luo's form unbelievably slip. And in addition to Ronaldo, there are Romario, Robinho, Adriano......

Similar examples abound. Entertainment, sex and alcohol, these things are not out of the question. However, at the same time, athletes need a lot of training and scientific diet to offset the negative effects of dogs and horses. And for many professional players, this is not necessarily able to hold on.

The World Cup is held every four years, but how long can a player's career be?

There are very few players who can participate in three World Cups in a row, and for most players, being able to play in two World Cups at the peak of their form is already considered a success.

For Li Qingshan, with the enhancement of his ability, one goal after another has made him full of confidence on the court.

From the perspective of behavioral science, the level of human needs is gradually increasing.

When people have met their physiological needs, Anqiu needs, social needs, and respect needs, for most people, there is only one need left for self-actualization.

The same is true for Li Qingshan. He can now be said to have achieved fame. In the history of Chinese football, he is a well-deserved first person. Even if he is only twenty years old now.

He is now a big star, earning enough money every year to make more than 90 percent of the people in this world out of reach. He goes to every city in China and will be sought after by people. So for him, what else is there to pursue in life?

People always need to find their purpose.

Li Qingshan's goal is to win the World Cup ...........

This goal, or dream, he never declared, but silently placed it in his heart.

Of course he wants to win the World Cup, but he also knows how unattainable that goal can seem. With the strength of Chinese football, Li Qingshan's possibility of winning the World Cup .......... infinitely close to zero.

You can win games with one or two stars, but if you want to win a major event like the World Cup, one or two stars don't ........... as much as you think. Football is still an eleven-a-side sport after all.

But that doesn't stop him from making the World Cup his goal.

When you have a goal in front of you, you will give yourself the motivation to work hard, don't you?

When he had such an unattainable goal, Li Qingshan had a reason to work hard.

He now earns hundreds of millions of yuan a year, but he still lives a Puritan life.

Sleeping on time every day, eating according to the recipe arranged by the dietitian, every day in the team's training, he is always the first to arrive and the last to go, and he is still a virgin even now........

There are such paranoids in this world.

Li Qingshan set a goal that could push himself to a dead end, and he worked hard for this goal!

If anyone knew Li Qingshan's thoughts, it is estimated that many people would think that he was a madman.

But the direct distance between a genius and a madman may be ............. there is no distance.
