Although Li Qing had already replied to Les Reed, the technical director of the FA, expressing his willingness to represent England’s national teams at all levels, his heart would always belong to Huaxia.

If one day, he could achieve the supreme glory on the football field, it would also be a glory for Huaxia and for Huaxia football.

Once he had enough financial support, he would open football schools in Huaxia, and then put an end to the common practice of coaches taking bribes in domestic youth training, and hire European coaches with advanced youth training experience to cultivate talented young players.

He believed that the future of Huaxia football would be bright.

If that didn’t work, following the second-generation leader’s philosophy of “football must start from the children,” he would find exceptionally talented young players and send them directly to England for youth training…

It only took Li Qing a few short hours to go from being a deceiver to a true patriot. The greatest credit for this belonged to Lu Lu, an overseas reporter for Dongqiudi. However, Lu Lu did not take the opportunity to actively approach Li Qing to curry favor, but rather contacted him in a gradual manner.

Such progress would be more long-lasting.

The 38th round of the 2016- 2017 Premier League season was uniformly played at 2 PM British time. The entire Liverpool team supplemented their physical needs with nutritional supplements around 10:30 AM and took a bus to Anfield Stadium close to noon.

Li Qing, as usual, followed his teammates, queuing up to board the bus. Between the hotel and the bus, a large number of Liverpool fans gathered. These fans held up banners, slogans, posters, or fan scarves, singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”

From the crowd, Li Qing saw many fans holding up banners, slogans, and posters supporting him, including many attractive blonde women. Fortunately, he was wearing sunglasses, so he could look as he pleased.

He walked slowly forward, his peripheral vision catching sight of a somewhat familiar young man. With a hint of doubt in his heart, he took off his sunglasses and walked over, ignoring the constantly flashing camera lights. He curiously asked in English, “Have I… seen you somewhere before?”

The young reporter put down his camera and chuckled in Chinese, “Strictly speaking, we only met once, on your first day at the Melwood Training Ground…”

At this point, he stopped speaking.

Li Qing listened to the familiar Chinese and recalled his first visit to the Melwood Training Ground, where he met a rather talkative young Huaxia reporter, about twenty-five or six years old. What was his name again?

Right!

It was Lu Lu, the Dongqiudi reporter dispatched to the Premier League!

[Lu Lu, Dongqiudi Overseas Reporter] has quietly become a well-known reporter in the Huaxia football circle since his exposé yesterday, and he even did Li Qing a favor.

With Lu Lu’s reminder, Li Qing’s memories converged in that instant, and he immediately remembered.

The reporter’s ID badge worn on the young man’s chest also indicated his origin. Li Qing’s emotions became a little agitated: “You… you’re Lu Lu, the Dongqiudi overseas reporter who provided evidence for me yesterday?”

“Hehe, you recognized me…”

Lu Lu was all smiles.

The nearby Huaxia media reporters were all envious. Lu Lu had helped Li Qing out, and from now on… Li Qing’s exclusive news would probably only be available to Lu Lu…

Envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Head coach Klopp turned around and saw Li Qing talking to a reporter. He frowned and shouted, “Li!”

Li Qing smiled and waved: “Boss, I’ll chat with my friend for a couple of minutes, and then I’ll get on the bus right away.”

His voice was loud, and Klopp heard it clearly even in the noisy environment. He nodded slightly, and also waved to the fans who were surrounded by security personnel outside.

“Brother Lu, I’m about to get on the bus. Do you have a business card? Oh, right… I’ve followed your Dongqiudi and Weibo accounts. I’ll contact you then. After the league ends, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

As his teammates boarded the bus one by one, Li Qing greeted Lu Lu and followed them onto the bus.

…

From the moment the Liverpool team bus left the hotel until it reached the access road of Anfield Stadium, there were large crowds of Liverpool fans. They all knew that with a home game, it was almost certain that the English top-flight league title, which had eluded them for twenty-seven years, would finally return to Anfield!

In the outer plaza of Anfield Stadium, a large number of Liverpool fans, holding up paper Premier League trophies, danced and sang “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”

Compared to the classic slip in the 2013- 2014 season, the final round of the league three years later clearly had more of a championship feel. Liverpool fans simply did not believe that there would be any more surprises in this match.

Twenty-seven years of waiting, it was too long.

Li Qing looked at the highly emotional Liverpool fans through the glass window, sighing in his heart.

Arnold, beside him, said with rare seriousness, “No matter what, we must win the league title!”

“Definitely!”

Looking at the ecstatic Liverpool fans, Li Qing said with firm eyes.

When the Liverpool players entered Anfield Stadium for warm-up, the stands were already packed.

Looking around, 90% were Liverpool fans wearing red jerseys.

Although Middlesbrough had already been relegated, there were still many away fans who came to the Anfield Road Stand to cheer for their home team, bidding farewell to the Premier League.
