Chapter 62: Second on the all-time shooter list
Chapter 62 Second on the all-time shooter list
After the Chinese team defeated Qatar, the situation in the group can be described as very good, and this round of international break, the World Cup qualifiers in the Asian round of 40 continued.
China will play Bhutan at home and then away against Hong Kong.
With these two wins, China will be able to qualify from the group, and if they can beat the Maldives at home in March next year, the group will be just around the corner.
With the recovery of the national football team, fans have more expectations for the national team's games.
Li Qingshan returned to Changsha on 8 November.
In the face of the Bhutan team's game, the Chinese team's choice of home stadium is Changsha Helong Stadium, which is also Li Qingshan's hometown, so Li Qingshan also has more expectations for this game at home.
Li Qingshan first went home for two days, as a player of the Chinese team, Li Qingshan also had more than a dozen tickets in his hand, and he also asked his teammate Feng Xiaoting to take a few, all of which were given to his parents, relatives and friends.
This is the motivation to fight at home, speaking of which, Li Qingshan's mother has not seen him play football on the spot. During the Champions League final last season, Li Qingshan also encouraged his parents to come to Europe to watch the game, his father was still quite interested, but his mother was still concerned about the students who were preparing for the college entrance examination, so he didn't make it.
For Li Qingshan, this game is like a report to his mother, although the opponent is a little weak, but Li Qingshan is still quite looking forward to it.
The Bhutanese team is indeed weak..........
How weak is it, although the opponent is the Bhutanese national team, but Bhutanese football is very weak, they do not have a football league in the country, and the Bhutanese players who make up this national team, except for a player who plays in the youth team of a team in the second division of Indonesia, the other players are all amateur players from the private sector.
To put it simply, this Bhutanese national team, even in the face of the FC United team that Li Qingshan played for before, the strength of FC United is much stronger than him.
Therefore, it is only a matter of how many goals the Chinese team will win, and there is still suspense about whether Bhutan can score, and the Chinese national team, which is composed entirely of professional players, will never be defeated by an amateur team like Bhutan.
Therefore, it is normal that Li Qingshan was not ranked in the starting lineup.
When Lippi announced the starting lineup in front of the whole team the day before the game, Li Qingshan patted his head, he invited his parents, relatives and friends to the court, but forgot whether he could start this game - in the face of such a weak team as Bhutan, it is normal for Lippi to choose to let the main team rest and rest, after all, a few days ago, his players generally played a full 90 minutes in the club, and Li Qingshan flew back to China from England.
Even with the substitute lineup, in the face of a team like Bhutan, the Chinese team still has enough confidence.
If you play somewhere else, the substitute will be the substitute. Li Qingshan rarely asks for anything with the head coach, he has always been quite professional, and he rarely asks the coach for power on the field or something. In his opinion, it is the manager's job to set up the line-up, and his job is to help the team win on the field, and as long as he shows enough ability, the manager will definitely lean towards him tactically.
But this game is different, in the final analysis, Li Qingshan is still a young man in his early twenties, the little boy in his heart has not fully grown up, and the little boy wants to show off his mother's psychology of what he is best at, and Li Qingshan is not exempt from vulgarity.
So Li Qingshan knocked on the door of Lippi's office.
After getting Lippi's permission, Li Qingshan walked in.
Lippi, who was wearing glasses and was looking at the information of the Chinese team's next opponent, the Hong Kong team, looked up and saw that the person who came in was Li Qingshan, and he was a little surprised.
Li Qingshan said his request straight to the point.
As the team's number one star, the team's most relied on player, and the biggest player in the Chinese team, this is the first time Li Qingshan has asked Lippi in private.
Lippi smiled, as a world-class coach, there are too many big-name stars under him, most of the stars are unruly, and they think very highly of themselves, and often the better the ball skills, the more headaches the manager will have in management. Lippi knows Li Qingshan quite well, Li Qingshan does not look like those European stars, he is very quiet, and he has never been a thorn.
This is the first time Li Qingshan has asked for himself, and the reason is to get a chance to appear in front of his parents.
Looking at Li Qingshan, who was a little competitive, Lippi smiled.
Of course he agreed. In this game, he actually wants to give some marginal players a chance to play, and since Li Qingshan wants to play, it's not a big deal.
As for physical problems, Lippi may still worry about other players, but he has never worried about Li Qingshan's physical problems, and he still knows very well how good this kid can run.
"Okay, Lee, I promise you, you'll start this game." Lippi said with a smile.
Li Qingshan walked out of Lippi's office and scratched his head with some confusion. In his opinion, the player's private request for the head coach to change the starting list is a request that has already crossed the line, and he is mentally prepared to be rejected, where did he think that the usually strict Lippi coach actually agreed to himself so easily?
Li Qingshan, who thought about it for a while, didn't think much about it in the end, anyway, it was a good thing that his goal was achieved.
………
Sure enough, in the starting list on the second day, Li Qingshan's name was impressive.
When he appeared, although Li Qingshan couldn't see his parents sitting there, he still roughly knew which area they were sitting in, so he waved to that area, which deserved more enthusiastic cheers from the fans at the scene.
Veteran Zheng Zhi is now in some non-crucial games, and Lippi basically won't call him. This is also taking into account Zheng Zhi's physical problems, in the future top 12 matches, Zheng Zhi is still a player that Lippi relies on very much.
Therefore, the captain's armband was worn on Li Qingshan's arm.
…….
Li Qingshan looked quite hard in this game.
He scored in the first minute of the game.
The Bhutanese team has no way to compete with Li Qingshan.
At the end of the first half, the Chinese team scored seven goals in the half, of which Li Qingshan alone scored four of them.
In the second half, Li Qingshan scored two more headers, rewriting the score to 9-0.
Then he was substituted in the enthusiastic cheers of the fans at the scene - for the Chinese team, no matter how many goals they win against Bhutan, it is actually meaningless, it is better to hold on a little and give the other party a little face.
However, Yang Xu, who came off the bench, did not have this idea, he rarely had the opportunity to play in the national team this year, because of the existence of Li Qingshan, Yang Xu basically sat on the bench, or was not recruited to the national team at all.
Compared with Gao Lin, another center forward who can pull the side, Yang Xu's position is obviously more awkward.
Therefore, Yang Xu's motivation is naturally different, in the remaining thirty minutes, Yang Xu also scored three goals through a header, and finally the Chinese team defeated the opponent 12-0!
……….
Compared with the Bhutan team, the strength of the Hong Kong, China team is stronger.
Therefore, at the Mong Kok Stadium in Hong Kong, the Chinese team played its main role.
Although in the first half, the Hong Kong team of China defended 0-0 with the excellent performance of the goalkeeper and the post.
But at the start of the second half, Li Qingshan opened the scoring with a long-range shot, making all the efforts of the Hong Kong team go to waste.
After the first goal was scored, the game was much better.
The final score was 4-0, with Li Qingshan scoring two goals, while Wu Lei and Huang Bowen scored one goal each.
After this game, the media found out that Li Qingshan broke a long-standing record when they took stock.
Now Li Qingshan's national team goal has come to thirty-seven goals!
What is this concept?
This means that Li Qingshan has become the second highest scorer in the history of the Chinese national team, and he surpassed his predecessor Liu Haiguang, second only to Hao Haidong's 41 goals!
Perhaps after the top 10 matches, Li Qingshan became the No. 1 player in the Chinese national team's all-time scorer list.
And all this, it took him less than two years to do so.
